Murdering a mother and baby over a package of diapers.

Welcome to trump's police state.

Ok what the actual fuck has to be wrong with you such that you think that sequence of words is a reasonable thing to say? Jesus fuck.

I wonder if those cops are anti-abortion...so much for "pro-life"!

Wow so the extraducial execution of innocent babies is justified for the petty crime of shoplifting in Mississippi? That is fuckin crazy. The attorney general is a demonic souless hag.

In a state with which bans abortion.

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 8 points 51 minutes ago

I guess if you need a late-stage abortion you can always go shoplift some diapers.

Accused of stealing 20 dollars worth of diapers? Death penalty without trial for you and the occupants of your vehicle.

Also, you want the footage that your tax dollars paid for? Fuck you.

Old white woman says it's ok to shoot black babies, classy MS

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.

Don’t forget:

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

We investigated ourselves and found that shooting a one year old is totally acceptable.

Mississippi with the full-throated Black Lives Don't Matter. Shocking.

The same state that said Nolan Wells drowned with no water in his lungs.

It's times like these I sympathize with people who want to believe hell exists.

It’s times like these I sympathise with people who shoot cops on sight.

[–] Imke@feddit.org 13 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Wtf thought this was clickbait and they maybe responded a shooting accidently killing the baby they did not see but wtf is that

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 6 points 43 minutes ago

Not even close.

The woman was accused of stealing diapers. Left the store, cops rolled up and shot her through her baby.
