Two Wisconsin police officers were killed in a shootout Saturday. Both were from towns of less than 5,000 people.

There was an update to the story on the local news show yesterday to name the victims and deceased perpetrator: https://archive.ph/dr06R
In my unfortunate state of mind, I thought briefly about the regressive takeover of US institutions and got to wondering if we will eventually see mostly leftist rank-and-file police officers.
There have been a few stories posted recently of police scandals or selective enforcement, but many were from Canada or the UK. It seems that those places already have mostly true believers on patrol.
In the US, we clearly have some issues of what gets prosecuted and punished, and I believe some cities are or will be changing policies and standard police practices for EqoOtY reasons. I guess I don't know if the officers themselves are or will be compliant with some of that, especially if it ends up killing them.
Some users and I have noticed a few posts here--and across other win pages--have been created by brand new accounts, which will likely never post again. I've seen them called spam, bots, and shills, but the posts here are usually on-topic for this board, anyway. Ones that aren't can be properly reported and presumably removed in good time.
So, is this really a problem? If so, what should be done? This board is essentially founded upon anti-censorship sentiment. Auto-modding is a no-go (I think). If it isn't a problem, I'll ask this in some fairness to those seeing a problem: how much is too much? How will you be able to tell and still be able to fix it? Tagging u/DomitiusOfMassilia. I see you've been removing some days-old posts like these recently. Is there an unwritten rule that users should be participants of their respective communities before making posts?
