She was right to drive away, they're so unhinged they shoot babies. We need to start being sympathetic to people who run from the cops. Cops are dangerous! I don't wanna die either
We're already at the point where if I'm on a jury, someone hitting a copy is a pretty clearcut self defense argument. Seems there's a precedent that if you simply try to escape, they might shoot your baby. Better to be safe and eliminate the threat for the kids' safety.
Why is the majority of our local tax dollars going to pay for armed thugs to go around shooting babies?
Didn't you get the memo?? Apparently, Baby Jesus is all about Justice these days. Morals will count again, praise be! 🙏
Who's in charge of distributing tax dollars?
And yet doesn't pay taxes
Is it... Poor, homeless people of colour?
Both here and abroad.

It's Mississippi. Don't we all know the truth from that fact alone?
I know that's not truly a reliable thing to go on in every circumstance, but it sure AF seems to work for most of the outrageous cases of "authority" & apparent racism coming out of there.
If that baby would have peacefully surrendered the cops wouldn’t have to protect themselves.
And its rattle looked a lot like a hidden dangerous weapon. What would you've done?? These poor, traumatized cops had no other choice but to defend themselves any way possible. Their families deserve them back home at night, safe and sound 🙏✝️

The South has risen.
The South rose a while back, but it never really went into the ground.
Generational wealth is such a precious commodity to society.
Much of the rest of the world are too busy with their own fires, I'd imagine.
As a german, I have my reservations regarding the death penalty.
On the other side, the last death penalties where used against the nazis. So, I am fine if we make an exception here.
What a shit hole.
Well, I'm glad those diapers are safe!
Nah, they got shat in when the gun was fired.
ETA: for those disapproving voters, please understand that humor has been the only way I've been able to get through this increasingly shitty reality without offing myself. I was already naturally prone to depression, and this crap just keeps piling on. Believe me when I say I take this BS quite seriously, mean no disrespect, and am just coping the only way I know how. I'm sorry if it offends.
