Voat News and Politics
A space where submissions related to BOTH politics and general news can be posted without censorship.
We ask that subscribers self-moderate by both using their votes on submissions and comments and by reporting spam/illegal content for removal.
If someone is rude let them know with your vote. It is not the role of the moderators to police "politeness".
If you think a comment or a post is quality, up-vote it.
Have fun and use your votes!
PLEASE UPVOTE ARTICLES YOU LIKE!!

Police already have extra penalties for people who commit crimes against them. Also being a cop is a choice. This is retarded. Police are such fucking spoiled children.

Goddammit. We should be removing hate crime laws, not expanding the damn things.

Perhaps, but it's good to see the law being used for something besides gays and blacks.
