"The report said that the Louisville police department has for years “practiced an aggressive style of policing that it deploys selectively, especially against Black people, but also against vulnerable people throughout the city. ... Failures of leadership and accountability have allowed unlawful conduct to continue unchecked. Even when city and police leaders announced solutions, they failed to follow through.”"

I loved this story. It was funny, and I learned something about acorn woodpeckers. It's the kind of "gateway" #scicomm story that engages people and slips in some animal behavior information underneath.

I posted it r/EverythingScience for that reason.

They removed it. Sigh. I know how Ms. woodpecker feels now.
