If you are downvoting me, you are downvoting the constitution, so go ahead :)
Since this entry was flagged without justification, which shows me that censorship is taking place, I will not use HN in the future or support it in any other way. I will discuss with my lawyer how I can enforce the deletion of my account according to European guidelines.
User-flagged content can be pushed down on the rankings (comparable to a downvote), but if enough people upvote, it shouldn't make much difference.
Not an argument for this site I guess. But this is what happens when you have political leaders picking sides in violence. Trump literally tweeted "when the looting starts the shooting starts" (not before this event, of course -- it's an example). You think rhetoric like that doesn't have the effect of empowering police to abuse their power against people they don't like?
Police abuse their power when leaders pick sides? And what about the Mayor? Has he not chosen sides? He lambasted the riots, but has allowed it to continue. Actions and words.
How, exactly? I mean, it's not like the rioters are following his orders (or maybe you're saying they are?!). If you're just saying it's his responsibility, then sure, but he's not the only one. Aren't community leaders, the police, the governor and the president likewise "allowing" the riots to continue simply because they haven't stopped them?
I mean, Trump literally evoked an image of shooting rioters. Did anyone else do anything similar?

Yet another black man dead to police violence and it gets flagged when a post about it stays up. This happened days ago (George Floyd being murdered, not this arrest), this is the 1st post to stick and gets flagged instantly, but there are how many posts about the Twitter/Trump fued?
Seems more and more recently that we simply aren't allowed to discuss certain things here at all. Pretending they aren't happening because discussion would be too hard doesn't make them go away.
edit to clarify George Floyd died days ago
from the description of the YouTube video > Black correspondent Omar Jimenez had just shown a protester being arrested when about half a dozen white police officers surrounded him. Is there any reason to assume racism? it looks like two other people in the camera crew got arrested and they don't look black. It looks to me like CNN is trying to play the race card to stir controversy when there are millions of other mo…

Get to know some black people and talk to them about their experiences. The chances that race were a factor in this arrest are better than 50%.

So no, downvoting you isn't anything to do with the constitution.

That flag indicates users flagged it--it doesn't mean any action has been taken by HN staff. It's essentially been reported to moderators by users, but unless you see the "[dead]" tag, it remains public and alive on HN. User-flagged content can be pushed down on the rankings (comparable to a downvote), but if enough people upvote, it shouldn't make much difference.

The arrested reporter was black, there was another White CB reporter standing nearby that was not arrested. Perhaps it’s all coincidence. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/29/us/minneapolis-cnn-crew-arres...
The whole CNN team of four was arrested including the white producer and a latino cameraman.
Also, there was an all white CNN crew a block away who didn't get arrested.
Just because they arrested some white people who were obviously working with people of color, isn't evidence at all that the arrests weren't racially motivated.

The post is gone effectively from HN already. There are enough 'new' accounts (incl. top post) that just press 'flag'
