Another trigger happy cop gets a free vacation while the people dig another grave. This country is fucked, but Mississippi is its own world of racism.
Murdered a child because their parent supposedly shop lifted some fucking diapers. That is the part that stings the most. Even in less developed countries they just cut your fucking hand off.
Long awaiting all my "Pro-Life" brothers and sisters to decry police violence, especially when it comes to dead kids...... And yet it seems the only dead "kids" they care about are stuck in the womb; once youre out, youre on your own bucko.
"If you're pre-born, you're fine. If you're pre-school, you're fucked!" -George Carlin
One of my favorite Carlin quotes that absolutely still rings true today.
Man. Wtf America.
What is wtf about this? This is normal. /s
Yeah children with gunshot wounds is pretty standard America in my experience
It's literally the leading cause of death for children here and has been for the better part of a decade.
What is the “/s” about — this is normal
/sFatal shooting of a BABY boy. Why is it so fucking hard for the media to say that?!?!
This is a tragedy, but the media constantly tries to downplay the tragedy with the words they chose. This article's headline isn't as bad as others that are saying "one-year-old child", but call it what it is: Cops shot and killed a baby.
Mississippi goddam...
