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.

    That's one thing, another question is, what kind of society we are living in where a mother is forced to steal diapers?

    I also see stores that put baby formulas behind lock.

    Those are not some luxurious items, those things people would only steal if they had no other choice.

    Technical correction: She's accused of driving her vehicle towards officers, which they used to justify the shooting.

    Disclaimer: I am not saying the shooting was justified. I know nothing about where the officers were or how she was driving.

    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.

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

    Also, if you steal diapers and nothing else then maybe, JUST MAYBE you probably just can't afford them despite them being rather essential in raising a child. Which doesn't make it a non-crime, but it's probably a sign that you're actually in need.

    And here I was thinking that raping kids, evading tax and making your country the lapdog of Russia should be punished more severely than stealing diapers out of necessity.

    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.

    Do you know why we’re not pushing that percentage? People need to work. Sometimes two jobs, especially somewhere like Mississippi where the minimum wage is still $7.25. People can’t take a day off. Last time I voted in Mississippi, I was in line for 2 hours, and that was at like 11am because I was lucky to have a desk job that let me work from home and understood the importance of voting. Minimum wage jobs do not get that.

    So glad I live in Washington state now where everyone gets their ballot mailed to them 2 weeks in advance. For general elections, we’re about 70-80% turnout.

    I think preventing police from killing your children justifies missing two hours of work. Especially if it would cause a grand total of $14.50 gross income loss. Or fight to have elections on Sundays, like 80%+ of democracies do.

    But I've spent some time close to France, so it might be their influence.

    But if missing two hours of work causes you to lose your minimum wage job, then it's not just a $14.50 loss.

    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.

    still deserve some shame.

    As for all the innocent fisherman, school kids and people your army (that you willingly signed up to join for a fucking paycheck) have killed, I'm sure they would all take being discriminated against instead of BEING FUCKING BOMBED. You know they were real people right?

  • [–] 75 points 2 weeks ago (9 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.

    You definitely don't need all that. Cloth diapers predate modern in-home washing machines. I had the "privilege" of being poor and raised in cloth diapers, back when food stamps were paper instead of a debit account, and if my parents could manage it there's nothing stopping people today.

    Also, what a stupid position. "How dare you suggest people take some responsibility for their waste instead of choosing the most convenient, selfish option at every turn! Don't you know the world was invented five years ago and old-fashioned sustainable solutions literally don't exist?"

    And they knew there was a baby in the car, and there has been no evidence released to indicate shoplifting of diapers in the first place. The murderer (cop, just to be crystal clear) should be in prison. This sounds like a total shitshow from the moment the cops were called

    Just a heads up, that's not another term for Baby Boomer and has never been associated with them. The Greatest Generation were born between 1901 and 1927. Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. And there's an entire generation, appropriately called the Silent Generation, separating them.

    This is the same police station whose chief was just fired last month, for, get this, extremely vile racism.

    Just a wild coincidence, I'm sure. Also just a wild coincidence that the racist chief of police didnt punish the child murder when he was caught being racist:

    Since Vanderford took over as chief, Foster has separately faced at least two complaints that he used racially offensive language with co-workers, Mississippi Today reported in July and August. In the months leading up to the shooting, Foster referred to a Black officer as a “Black motherfucker” and directed another derogatory remark toward a white co-worker who has a daughter with a Black woman, according to internal department complaints.

    There’s no indication that Vanderford took any disciplinary action against Foster, who was allowed to remain on patrol.
