Ask HN: Why was the Guardian story on police sexual abuse in Phoenix flagged?

  I could give you a couple theories based on history, but the moderators could give you a better answer than our opinions. Email them at: hn [ at ] ycombinator dot com

  Perhaps it wasn't relevant to tech?

  No idea. But article is a meandering mess on serious incidents and a serious topic that is more news. I'd say it was only being up-voted from the title rather than people actually reading it. A year ago it might have been a serious discussion, but to me when a lot of people are already protesting on the streets to abolish the police I don't think this topic which has been discussed and reported in the past can be discussed in a constructive way.
