www.mississippifreepress.org
The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office announced on Monday.

I don’t know how she sleeps at night or why she wakes up in the morning.

        WAIT SO A FUCKING KAREN FLASINGLY CLAIM THIEF AGAINST A BLACK WOMAN. And cops came and killed her baby. Why are there not riots in the fucking streets for this?

          Yup.

          There are no riots because this is a black baby killed by white people in Mississippi. The white people dgaf, though many will say otherwise in public, and every time Black people try to help everyone, few others step up and nothing is changed.

          This time is pretty uniquely bad for the 21st century too. There is a nazi as supreme ruler, with the world’s third most well funded army of secret, masked gestapo, a pile of concentration camps, and a military and police force that will allow him to throw every Black person the gestapo sees, in a concentration camp as “Haitian immigrants”.

          This is America. This is what it was founded on. This is what happens here.

    Officers were responding to a shoplifting call alleging that Wiley’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell had stolen a pack of diapers. The women exited the store with the child as officers arrived, entered their vehicle and began to leave the parking lot. Officers drew their weapons, and Vellesiya Wiley lifted her son up to show the officers that a child was in the car. One officer fired into the vehicle, killing the baby as she held him. A bullet also wounded Ferrell.

    I was wondering if I could conceivably call it justified if I pretended I was pro police. But no, absolutely not.

    My heart goes out to all those brave law enforcement officers who consistently put their lives in danger by interacting with all those frightening little kids.
