Insane. It’s fucking shoplifting. Absolutely nuts loss of moral character in this country.
post
I have no words for how much this makes my fucking blood boil. She was shoplifting diapers and you killed her kid. Who was she fucking endangering that you killed a 1 year old? I have a lot of very angry words and wishes towards those racist pieces of dog shit. I hope there's a hell so I can watch them fucking burn for all of eternity.
It’s worse than that.
She wasn’t shoplifting diapers; she was falsely accused of shoplifting diapers.
I agree, that's worse. Though, to be honest, we all know she was shot at because she's black and no other real reason. Her breathing was enough to justify bullets in the eyes of these monsters.
The things I want to say would put me on some list. I fucking hate this country.
There's no hell. They need to be corrected in this life, not a mystical afterlife.
It's very convenient for bad people to lean on that nonsense.
Want get angrier, she wasn't shop lifting. The a ledge thief NEVER happen. No some white women called the police because she claimed to seen a black woman steal diapers. The whole city should riot until the entire city council, mayor and this Attorney General resigns in shame. The whole fucking town are racist.
I'm surprised the police hasn't yet made a statement that "at least they solved the cause for her criminal activities"...
She was holding the child up to show the cop pointing a gun at her, that the baby was in the car. The cop didn't accidentally shoot a baby.
The cop shot the baby as he was being held up, like the baby was a clay pigeon.
How in hell
How is it ever justifiable to be killed for shoplifting?
Can’t let the poors get one over on ya. They might get ideas.
NYPD is essentially Targets personal security force in my area. They check in twice a day, every day. If there is an issue, they're there in 30 seconds. Took them two hours to get a man with a knife out of my building lobby, 3 buildings down for reference.
And at that too my midtown Target keeps basically everything under lock and key. What's the point of even going…
Edit: if we need to keep laundry detergent locked up, we have way bigger problems to solve
Sadly, in my experience the default stance is "if they broke the law, they only have themselves to blame."
If comments on bodycam vids are anything to go by, anything more than misdemeanor crimes should be resolved by summary execution, including and especially fleeing from the police. I hope dead internet theory is real in that case.
Take a look at the baby's skin color, read that it is Mississippi, and fill in the blanks.
"As AG I conducted an investigation and concluded the baby was black, therefore the shooting was justified."
Fucking disgusting.
Baby? The “male suspect”.
"According to the FBI the one year old male suspect was to be growing up as a nazi communist, as they found out by using their predictive AI. In any different situation they would also have shot the baby. In an interview with the officer, he told reporters 'he asked chatgpt whether to shoot the baby', to which it replied 'yes, you should kill the fucking nazi communist', so he did."
Mississippi: the state that never surprises but always shocks and appalls.
America is truly a shithole. You don’t hear of such things in other developed countries
Because in China and Russia, it doesn't even make the news.
As long as I live, I will support jury nullification for any and every cop killer. Abolish the police, I don't give a shit.
They still havent released the body camera footage, even to the family. The families lawyer had an independent analysis done that shows the cop fired through the side windows, not the front, proving they were never in danger. This is the same police station that just had its police chief fired last month because of constant and aggreious racism that he was texting his friends/coworkers.
This is rank of a coverup.
They tell us that prosecutors, courts, and the police are "separate" entities, but that's a lie. They'll form up together like Voltron to prevent families of people murdered by pigs from ever getting justice.
That's a relief, I'd hate to know that a police officer murdered a literal infant unjustifiably. The depths of the depravity are fathomless.
Child lives are cheap in the good ol' U.S. of A.
Actually I think it's just all lives. Except Congress and the ultra wealthy.
What else do you expect to happen when you hire people from the proud boyz circles into the police force? I am not sure this person even feels remorse.
I hope Gen Z burns this shithole country to the ground. We need a revolution
I hope all the generations finally play their part don't put this all on gen z
Unfortunately, a BIG chunk of Gen Z men and boys have fallen prey to far right "influencers" like Andrew Tate and Clavicular, so they can't be counted on to do the right thing about anything.
Us millennials, being in our 30s to 40s, are still young enough to get shit done, though, as are the parts of Gen X that haven't been infected with fascist ideology themselves. And Gen Z women and girls, of course.
I’m an elder millennial with a young adult Gen z son who is definitely not into that garbage but Gen Z is definitely leading the revolution charge worldwide
Problem is, we have famillies. Cant go protesting if you got to work & care. Parents are basically slaves to the system. Unless we want to be in such need to, you know steal diapers and get prolly killed.
And so do the French and Spaniards.
Lazy goat.
Oh sure, pick the fascist generation.
I don’t think you’re correct
In Canada at least, they're the biggest conservative supporters, some even didn't hate Americans before Trump.
Canadians aged 55 and older leaned toward the Liberals
Younger Canadians aged 18 to 34, meanwhile, picked the Conservatives.

Plus they're the generation that gets news from social media
How about you get out of your ass and help instead of waiting for someone else to do all the work?
Officers were responding to a shoplifting call alleging that Wiley’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell had stolen a pack of diapers. The women exited the store with the child as officers arrived, entered their vehicle and began to leave the parking lot. Officers drew their weapons, and Vellesiya Wiley lifted her son up to show the officers that a child was in the car. One officer fired into the vehicle, killing the baby as she held him. A bullet also wounded Ferrell.
She lifted the baby to show the officers that a child was in the car. The officers shot the baby to acknowledge Israel's right to exist
American police and government need to be dismantled and rebuilt. This is fucking sick. This is enough for America to deserve all the bad things that are happening.
Vote like your life depends on it. Vote Dem if you don’t want to see horror unlike you’ve never imagined.
Fuck the administration and as always ACAB.
When Mississippi burn? This terrible news. What baby do?!? Need France riot
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something so fucking disgusting
A one year-old. A fucking baby.
I know it's not right, but I got even angrier when I looked the bitch up. That she's a carbon copy, Fox News-looking blonde bimbo made defending a police murder over a pack of diapers even worse to me.

Are these pearls made of real plastic or imitation ?
They illegalized the aborting of fetuses, and let their police kill already-born infants.
When is the prptest set for outside this motherfucker Attorney General home/office. That city should be shut down.
Everyone thinking this fairly represents every single person in the US is just as ignorant as this AG. Some of you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
This rise in authoritarianism is bankrolled by billionaires, facilitated by CEOs of major corporations, endorsed by media moguls, and being carried out by GOP politicians; altogether representing maybe 1K - 10K people (depending on how you want to count it), all of whom live dramatically different lives than the three hundred million ordinary people who live here.
The 30% of Americans who are stupid rural poor who vote for it are victims of propaganda and disinformation and the rest of us are doing the best we can.
If you hate all of us because of what a comparative handful of parasites are doing, congratulations, you've fallen for their divisionist propaganda.
Do you hate all Chines people because of Xi Xinping? Do you hate all Russian people because of Putin? Congratulations, you've fallen for their divisionist propaganda.
Once they're done here, they'll come for you too. All of you sitting here, throwing shade for "nOt LiViNg In A sHiThOlE cOuNtRy", get ready. You're next. And once the shoe is on the other foot, I hope you remember every hateful word you ever said.
just as ignorant
Yes, such prejudice is the result of ignorance…
I would encourage American progressives on Lemmy to remember when attacked by would-be comrades in places like Canada and Europe.
Most developed nations have their own versions of rural Americans. People who are similarly ignorant, pigheaded, and prone to meanness, bigotry, etc. Travel in these countries and you will meet plenty of them.
That is who you find on Lemmy painting the entirety of US populace and culture with broad strokes, contempt, and rage.
But it’s also their response to fear…
The world feels betrayed by Americans, and the news that reaches them detailing the ongoing consequences of our last election is legitimately scary.
It’s not too suprising that street brawlers show up in droves whenever there’s a chance to, from a comfortable distance, cajole American activists into violent insurrection and mortal combat against tanks and grenades, or simply dogpile on them, since it gives them an easy outlet for that fear.
Abuse of oppressed and brainwashed working class people in authoritarian regimes (Americans, Chinese, Russians, etc.) probably feels like “punching up” if you’re convinced they are not working hard enough to stop their fascist dictatorship and will happily profit from your imminent suffering at the hands of their government.
Assuming they aren’t another bot…
Many of these openly abusive accounts have eventually been exposed as bots and banned (usually for reasons completely unrelated to hating Americans).
These bots appear to have several common objectives for their activity on this platform but, in particular:
- to disrupt working class solidarity by sewing distrust fear and discord
- to distract destabilize and distort with misinfo and disinfo
- to demoralize and deactivate those who would fight back through effective means like voting, canvassing, protesting, building support networks, etc.
- to promote violent lone-wolf stochastic terrorism which, for some reason, they all agree is the only type of political activism that works (this is IMHO their most obvious tell)
It is an ongoing problem and it’s not isolated to Lemmy.
Realizing the above hopefully makes it easier to shrug off the prejudice and contempt, because the US is not likely to be the last front in the war against the oligarchs. They are global elites, and global solidarity of the working class will be needed to defeat them.
Americans will need to forget these couldn’t-happen-here bigots and support their working class comrades abroad if we are all to win.
This isn't due to a "rise in authoritarianism" Mississippi has always killed Black people without cause. It was founded on the principal, and it has never stopped at any time in its history.
She didn't even shoplift the diapers. A white woman thought she was, and called the cops.
The kid wasn't shot by accident as the officer fired indiscriminately into the car. His mother held him up, to show the cop pointing a gun at the car, that he was there. The cop shot a baby that was being held up, like the baby was a clay pigeon.
Pro life!
Make note:
This cop didn't "accidentally kill a baby" while blindly firing into a car full of unarmed women like a madman. He killed a baby being held up, like he was shooting a clay pigeon.
Keep in mind that people who justify killing children in schools and hospitals in Gaza saying "the terrorists are using them as shields" have the same mindset of "it's OK to shoot through children to get the bad guys"
It's Mississippi. 'nuff said.
