Default curious why post was removed

I posted in the General forum about the police pepper spraying riders in texas. It was a link to an article in the NY Times. It was removed. Any reason why?

I remember the post. Have no idea why it would be removed, however, some forums do have rules that limit "news posting." Maybe some legal issues withe NYT?

There's been EIGHT different threads posted on the subject and they've all been removed because they always end up in cop bashing, which is a rule violation. I don't make the rules, I just go with them.

And don't ask me why the subject is on the main page of the forums. I don't get that myself. IMO, it should be removed too but that's beyond my reach as a Moderator.
