    Unless you’re one of those nutters who thinks wikipedia isn’t a valid source at best you’re disagreeing with what is not considered extrajudicial.

    deaths caused by legal police actions such as self defense or legal warfighting on a battlefield are generally not included, even though military and police forces are often used for killings seen by critics as illegitimate.

      The need to preemptively dismiss criticism of your sources kinda speaks to a personal doubt in the validity of said sources, but that article seems fine so I don’t know why you felt the need to do that? You’re all good as far as I can tell! I don’t actually see anything there I’m in disagreement with though. Thank you for being thorough!

        Because in the current social environment people call “Wokepedia” or just otherwise dismiss it as “unreliable” when it says something they don’t like. So yes sometimes you need to head off the bullshit. I apologize for the tone and defensiveness.

          Oh right, duh, sorry. Lemmy is on the whole so nice that I somehow forgot just how far discourse has fallen elsewhere.
