Murdering a mother and baby over a package of diapers.

Welcome to trump's police state.

Police are like a box of chocolates

They'll kill your dog (or kid)

Phil Ochs was right, here's to the state of Mississippi

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.

Someone should shoot this racist old cunt.

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.

Out of the womb, fit for the tomb, that's the Mississippi way.

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 13 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 123 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

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

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

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 34 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 3 points 27 minutes ago

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

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 39 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t forget:

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

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 1 points 3 minutes ago

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

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

[–] gastroglizzy@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 18 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 15 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

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

[–] Imke@feddit.org 17 points 3 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 10 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Not even close.

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

Bet Fox News is going to having a burning trash can on a loop this week.
