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.

I was wondering if I could conceivably call it justified if I pretended I was pro police. But no, absolutely not.

She sleeps fine. Trying to humanize monsters is a fruitless endeavor.

My heart goes out to all those brave law enforcement officers who consistently put their lives in danger by interacting with all those frightening little kids.

Yup.

There are no riots because this is a black baby killed by white people in Mississippi. The white people dgaf, though many will say otherwise in public, and every time Black people try to help everyone, few others step up and nothing is changed.

This time is pretty uniquely bad for the 21st century too. There is a nazi as supreme ruler, with the world's third most well funded army as secret, masked gestapo, a pile of concentration camps, and a military and police force that will allow him to throw every Black person the gestapo sees, in a concentration camp as "Haitian immigrants".

This is America. This is what it was founded on. This is what happens here.

The George Floyd protests didn't achieve much because they had no set goals. If the goal was to get the current gouvernment to resign for example is much more realistics than ending police brutality.
