The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, which investigated the shooting, alleged on the day of the shooting that “the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one.”

As of press time, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety has released none of the video surveillance of the shooting of Kohen Wiley, neither the body-cam footage nor the overhead video from the Walmart parking lot where Wiley was shot. A short clip from a bystander was posted on the internet shortly after the shooting, showing neither the shots being fired nor the car driving towards officers.

almost striking one.

But.. not .. was she coming around for another pass? They had her fucking plates, just go pick her up at her house afterwards if she runs. This isn't a situation that requires firearms.

I’d take it a step further in that diapers should be free anyways.

Don’t forget:

Neither woman has been charged with a crime, and officials have not released any evidence of shoplifting.

I bet this was the result of "can I see your receipt?" "No."
