A preliminary autopsy requested by the family of Kohen Wiley suggested the baby was shot from the side of the car, not the front, civil rights attorney Ben Crump said, disputing officers’ claims that the car was heading toward them. Kohen’s mother, who was holding her baby in the passenger seat, says her friend was driving away from the officers.

She was right to drive away, they’re so unhinged they shoot babies. We need to start being sympathetic to people who run from the cops. Cops are dangerous! I don’t wanna die either

We’re already at the point where if I’m on a jury, someone hitting a copy is a pretty clearcut self defense argument. Seems there’s a precedent that if you simply try to escape, they might shoot your baby. Better to be safe and eliminate the threat for the kids’ safety.

Why is the majority of our local tax dollars going to pay for armed thugs to go around shooting babies?

Emmitt Till getting diluted by atrocities that are worse. Most Americans won’t even blink but the rest of the world sure as hell is paying attention.

The South has risen.

The South rose a while back, but it never really went into the ground.

Generational wealth is such a precious commodity to society.

Much of the rest of the world are too busy with their own fires, I’d imagine.

If that baby would have peacefully surrendered the cops wouldn’t have to protect themselves.

As a german, I have my reservations regarding the death penalty.

On the other side, the last death penalties where used against the nazis. So, I am fine if we make an exception here.

What a shit hole.

It’s Mississippi. Don’t we all know the truth from that fact alone?

I know that’s not truly a reliable thing to go on in every circumstance, but it sure AF seems to work for most of the outrageous cases of “authority” & apparent racism coming out of there.

Nah, they got shat in when the gun was fired.

ETA: for those disapproving voters, please understand that humor has been the only way I’ve been able to get through this increasingly shitty reality without offing myself. I was already naturally prone to depression, and this crap just keeps piling on. Believe me when I say I take this BS quite seriously, mean no disrespect, and am just coping the only way I know how. I’m sorry if it offends.
