Seen elsewhere: you get more paid time off for killing children in this country than you do for giving birth to them

Even if they were stealing diapers that does not justify fucken deadly force. Its a box of fucken diapers. Let them take it. This poor baby had his life stolen for no reason.
Murdering. The offer murdered the baby while attempting to murder other black people in cold blood. I fucking hate seeing this passive voice used for fucking racist murderer cops.
Well, they want to leave it open in case the baby had a gun. /s
I don't think that's "passive voice", it's intentionally choosing a softer word, (though even that may be more of a liability one. Same concept as the media using every word but "children" to describe people killed in Palestine.
Passive voice would be.
"A baby in a car was shot while police were responding to a shoplifting report".
Or if they wanted to dial it up to 100.
A male black baby was involved in a shooting with police responding to a shoplifting report.
Just in case someone here didn't get the memo: the American corporate news journalistic establishment failed catastrophically in 2016. Everything since then has been wallpaper.
(And yes those of you particularly fussy about this, it was that way for many decades previous, but it hadn't resulted in an obvious literal russian asset being placed in the presidency before.)
It's always fun if you play madlibs with the title and see if there should be more or less outrage:
Mississippi day care worker put on leave after killing baby in car outside Walmart
Mississippi Walmart Worker put on leave after killing baby in car outside Walmart
Mississippi mass child murderer put on leave after killing baby in car outside Walmart
Most of the gunshots were on the passenger side, where the baby was. Stopping the car was never a consideration.
He's been put on leave? Well that'll teach him.
Needs to be consequences severe enough to make others consider their own actions.
I don't know for a fact but there's a non-zero chance they can't just jail him or fire him immediately because of the fascist police union, the only union that shouldn't have any power.
Leave as in paid vacation funded by the tax payers who will also fund his legal defense?
