SENATOBIA, Miss.—People scattered in a Walmart parking lot on Tuesday as law enforcement officers, who were wearing gas masks and lined up under the store’s grocery-side entrance, unleashed tear gas on the crowd that had gathered to protest the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.
Two days earlier on June 14, the young Black child died after a Senatobia police officer fired into a moving car, killing him and injuring the driver. Officers, who had been responding to a call alleging that someone had tried to steal a box of diapers, claimed that the car was driving toward the officer when he fired—a claim that some witnesses have disputed.
It’s been established so many times already that 90% of cops in America shoot first and then maybe ask questions later so what is there to dispute?
they also shoot to kill to fill out less paperwork. because any death will just come out of taxpayers money, DAs sometimes dont charge them, or just make them retire. because leaving victims alive, will potentially draw too much attention, more lawsuits, more problems down on the PD.
