    Watch conservative commentators say “but we don’t have the full story”

    They really want this execution to be justified. Look at his clothing, clear gang member

    So the police content she tried to run them over with her child in her lap? It seems like holding her baby up to show the cops and having the child shot as well as the passenger would be consistent with shooting from the side. But I’m sure the cops wouldn’t lie.

    /s.

      The unredacted videos.

      Though… I’m fine with reasonable censoring. Want to see the cops face consequences for their actions, not the blood/gore of a one year old.

    in what SHIT HOLE country do ‘cops’ draw weapons for stolen diapers?!?!

    the diapers were insured with loss prevention, deadly force was NOT justified.

      Exactly my thought process, especially since they haven’t produced any evidence of shoplifting and the cop shot a kid

      To bad they dont vote. They could have Texas lousiana and Mississippi purple or blue if they’d vote, but they don’t and don’t care too. Fuck kamala they said. No one even has to pander to them on either side. Because whats the point, they don’t vote anyways.

      They’re out there shooting their kids over a thing of diapers and they don’t care.

            I wasn’t making a statement one way or another. I was just curious as to how true or false that was.

            I’d say you’re in the realm of reasonable. 38% turnout is pretty pathetic. So is 55%.

            If we’re not pushing 85% or more, something is wrong.

              Thanks because I wanted to say that kind of because it should be like 90-100% ideally, yanno? but I also feel like I might have sounded really racist and don’t want to like seem like I’m just changing goal posts or trying to continue being just a jerk.

                That and imagine the political power they suddenly have if they do start to turn out at 85% while whites are still sitting at 55%.

                Georgia is 33% black, 57% white.

                Georgia’s population is 11.3 million, 77.8% 18 and older is 8.79m.

                At the rates in that chart that would be 1.07m black voters, 2.5m white.

                85% black turnout would put them at 2.47m votes.

              Nah. Listen, some one else shared the stats they’re at like 38 %. It should be 88-98%. Every black woman I was close enough in the military to ask said they didn’t vote, I’m not just being a jerk.

              But while it’s true they aren’t voting much- I was wrong- black people are voting a bit more than other demographics and deserve less social shame than other demographics. but they still deserve some shame.

                Did you also ask them if they joined epsteins army for “muh freedums” or a paycheck?

                At what point did you realise you were killing innocent brown school kids overseas so your pigs at home could kill black babies in mississippi?

    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.

    That shit would have been all over youtube the fucking day after the shooting if it was actually justified.

    In civilized countries, police officers are smart enough to just get out of the way of such a car, and deal with it later without shooting.

    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.

    I think there might be ways to avoid getting struck by a vehicle without shooting a toddler, but I guess we’ll never be sure now.

        If it can walk it’s a toddler, but that’s a weird thing to get hung up on in this context. Is it morally any different to kill an infant or a four-year-old? (It’s not, it’s unimaginably heinous either way.)
