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.

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.
in what SHIT HOLE country do 'cops' draw weapons for stolen diapers?!?!
the diapers were insured with loss prevention, deadly force was NOT justified.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Exactly my thought process, especially since they haven't produced any evidence of shoplifting and the cop shot a kid
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'm genuinely surprised, eat my hat, and sorry for being wrong.
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.
You're a good person, you know. Based solely on this thread, I can see that. 🫶
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.
Let me take a screenshot of this comment, it's too perfect.
Screenshoting comments that prove you're an out of touch dumbass is a definitely a choice.
Yes. Now, go kiss your bosses butt.
I would say something like "Hope you never get put into a situation where you can't financially recover", but you give off strong vibes of someone that's been handed everything in life and armchair coaches.
Yeah, I emigrated twice in my life and had to start from 0 including learning a new language, twice. Tell me more about handing everything. It's hilarious what a victim mentality americans have. "Land of the free", as long as my boss allows it, otherwise "yes sir, whatever you say sir".
hard to vote when the opposition cheats.

Voting is literally the absolute least anyone can do.
mother fucker. there are people walking hours to vote.
they straight up million man marching they asses to the polls.
when's the last time you ever did some crazy ass shit like that? next time you pop your ass on the toilet and watch a movie you think about that for them people. all that time you spend shitting while watching Johnny Depp his balls in the ocean you could have been marching to save democracy.
come up in here telling people who already giving their all that their all ain't good enough.
get the fuck outta here with that shit.
Nah get fucked your own self with that bot ass comment. I understand voter suppression is a thing. Voting in every single election is still the absolute bare ass fucking minimum every single citizen can do. Literally the absolute least. If you don't vote in every single election you're tacitly supporting the people in power. Go fuck yourself, fuckin shitstains all over this garbage ass site working for MAGA trying to keep people from voting. Fuck you, go vote.
Are "they" in the room with us now??
Truth hurts
and its your job to dispense this hurt?
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?
Played on computers, didn't kill anyone, and I'm a woman and was sexually discriminated out by hegseths army of misogynists.... so, no and I'm not there anymore.
You know I'm a real person right? I just dont get why there's a reason to treat someone like this.
was sexually discriminated out by hegseths army of misogynists
Ha, good job.
You being a part of the military industrial complex means you (as you so eloquently put it):
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?
Fuck you for your service.
Lemmy is so fucking weird. It'll never catch on.
It's the fuckin tankies. They caught on that everyone just instance bans ml so they all have alts to come fuck things up for the rest of us. Their accounts are incredibly transparent too.
Is ml the place with mods that love blatant disinformation?
The main one, there's a few, hexbear and dbzero are also out there.
Black women don't vote?? You're a fucking moron. This is what happens when you take a handful of interactions and paint a whole group based on them.
What the fuck? They did vote even though liberals opposed even just defunding the police.
This aged well /s
"They". Sorry, did I miss the part where the article mentioned the voting habits of the family? Because this sounds like some racist bullshit.
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.
Don’t forget:
Neither woman has been charged with a crime, and officials have not released any evidence of shoplifting.
almost striking one.
But.. not .. was she coming around for another pass? They had her fucking plates, just go pick her up at her house afterwards if she runs. This isn't a situation that requires firearms.
I’d take it a step further in that diapers should be free anyways.
Cloth diapers maybe. Disposable diapers are a plastic blight on our planet.
Congratulations. You are now responsible for buying everyone a washer, dryer, spray nozzle toilet attachment, and the maintenance thereof. You will also be responsible for a portion of their work in lieu of the time spent.
Check your privilege.
Signed, two kids that had cloth diapers.
The fuck? You can wash them by hand without any of that shit.
Signed: A parent who used cloth diapers and never put shit diapers in a washing machine.
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
Ok what the actual fuck has to be wrong with you such that you think that sequence of words is a reasonable thing to say? Jesus fuck.
Murdering a mother and baby over a package of diapers.
Welcome to trump's police state.
Giving trump ownership gives him far more credit than his ego deserves. This has been a long time in the making, he's just the latest in the long line of demagogues.
This is racism that's been festering forever. The Boomers couldn't let it go and passed it on. Greatest generation my ass
The Boomers couldn’t let it go and passed it on. Greatest generation my ass
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.
Yeah, this is Mississippi police killing 2 a black people person. Unfortunately that's nothing new, but it's still something to be angry about
We've been killing black babies longer than Trump's been around but yeah, I'm not keen on the mask coming fully off. It's gonna get loud in here.
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.
And miss the chance to shoot an innocent black person? I don't think so!
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.
Mississippi
Case closed.
This was in response to shoplifting!? SHOPLIFTING!?
I guess that was on me for assuming the context would make this better and not 100 times worse.
But, didn't you read? The officers said that the car may have went in their general direction.
Stolen diapers for the one year old that the police slaughtered is justified to kill a black person.
God I fucking hate this world.
FFVII Revelation is coming. I'm stealing the black fucking materia and calling meteor myself
No this was the response because she was black and shoplifting. It was 100% a race thing.
Police are like a box of chocolates
They'll kill your dog (or kid)
