Is this "IRL" here?
Just asking because I'm pretty sure Wishy used it a month or two ago in another thread, and if you are referring to a news article in particular I'd like to see somebody actually report the facts about it.
Anything I've seen has seriously downplayed how terrible the behavior of the force was in that situation.
I'm usually one to side with cops, but the videos of the event were disgusting. It's as if these cops thought they were playing an RTS on the XBox or something.
They're all getting paid vacation right now. They should be stripped of their badges and guns and barred from ever working on any police force in the country again.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

The OPCW creating a false report about Douma.
This has been bubbling up in reputable - though not mainstream - media from time to time, with links to original sources. But it's not been widely, repeatedly reported across the spectrum of media like the initial (false) claims were.

Deluge Of New Leaks Further Shreds The Establishment Syria Narrative
It’s been a bad last 24 hours for the war propagandists.
WikiLeaks has published multiple documents providing further details on the coverup within the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) of its own investigators’ findings which contradicted the official story we were all given about an alleged chlorine gas attack in Douma, Syria last year. The alleged chemical weapons incident was blamed on the Syrian government by the US and its allies, who launched airstrikes against Syria several days later. Subsequent evidence indicating that there was insufficient reason to conclude the chlorine gas attack ever happened was repressed by the OPCW, reportedly at the urging of US government officials.
The new publications by WikiLeaks add new detail to this still-unfolding scandal, providing more evidence to further invalidate attempts by establishment Syria narrative managers to spin it all as an empty conspiracy theory. The OPCW has no business hiding any information from the public which casts doubt on the official narrative about an incident which was used to justify an act of war on a sovereign nation.
The following are hyperlinks to the individual OPCW documents WikiLeaks published, with some highlights found therein:
A first draft of the OPCW’s July 2018 Interim Report on the team’s findings in Douma.
Contains crucial information that was not included in either the final draft of the July 2018 Interim Report or the March 2019 Final Report, including (emphasis mine):
1. The symptoms of the alleged victims of the supposed chemical incident were inconsistent with chlorine gas poisoning.
“Some of the signs and symptoms described by witnesses and noted in photos and video recordings taken by witnesses, of the alleged victims are not consistent with exposure to chlorine-containing choking or blood agents such as chlorine gas, phosgene or cyanogen chloride,” we learn in the unredacted first draft. “Specifically, the rapid onset of heavy buccal and nasal frothing in many victims, as well as the colour of the secretions, is not indicative of intoxication from such chemicals.”
“The large number of decedents in the one location (allegedly 40 to 45), most of whom were seen in videos and photos strewn on the floor of the apartments away from open windows, and within a few meters of an escape to un-poisoned or less toxic air, is at odds with intoxication by chlorine-based choking or blood agents, even at high concentrations,” the unredacted draft says.

Yup. That's why you've at least got to go to a place like RCP for your news.
They aggregate news stories just like they do the polls, but it's often quite humorous to just scroll down the list of stories, especially when you have two article titles that directly contradict each other.
Everybody is lying with their biases these days. 
It's one of the biggest reasons I don't prescribe to one "religion" over the other. I prefer to be right.
I'll admit that I was wrong about impeachment if that likely outcome manifests itself tonight. Never in a million years did I think that Democrats could be THIS collectively stupid.

The Most Significant Afghanistan Papers Revelation Is How Difficult They Were To Make Public
https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/the-most-significant-afghanistan-papers-revelation-is-how-difficult-they-were-to-make-public-718a0003efc7
The Washington Post has published clear, http://archive.is/8L36t undeniable https:/ / www.youtube. com/watch?v=Ac5D6og9Z54 evidence that US government officials have been lying to the public about the war in Afghanistan ...
The frank comments of US military officials plainly stating that from the very beginning this was an unwinnable conflict, initiated in a region nobody understood, without anyone being able to so much as articulate what victory would even look like, make up an extremely important piece of information that is in conflict with everything the public has been told about this war by their government.
But the most significant revelation to come out of this story is not in the Afghanistan Papers themselves.
The most significant Afghanistan Papers revelation comes from The Washington Post’s account of the extremely difficult time they had extricating these important documents from the talons of government secrecy, as detailed in a separate article titled “How The Post unearthed The Afghanistan Papers” http://archive.is/ERG7Q . WaPo explains how the papers were ultimately obtained via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests which, after they were initially rejected by the US government, needed to be supplemented over three years with two lawsuits.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump tweeted that in 2020 he is crazier than ever before:
A lot of very good people were taken down by a small group of Dirty (Filthy) Cops, politicians, government officials, and an investigation that was illegally started & that SPIED on my campaign. The Witch Hunt is sputtering badly, but still going on (Ukraine Hoax!). If this had happened to a Presidential candidate, or President, who was a Democrat, everybody involved would long ago be in jail for treason (and more), and it would be considered the CRIME OF THE CENTURY, far bigger and more sinister than Watergate!

Still no news about the faked chemical attack in Douma, and the OPCW higher-ups' blatant lying about the inspectors' reports in order to further the narrative that "Assad gassed his own people'.
The OPCW is THE international organization that is supposed to enforce chemical weapons treaties, and it has demonstrated (by internal memos and emails) that it is thoroughly corrupt and politicized at the top. Don't forget, the OPCW also wrote a "report" on the Skripal affair. I wonder if we'll see whistleblowers leaking on that report too.
