So shooting at a “juvenile child” is OK?

The thing is, if you paid for your shit, why *wouldn't* you keep driving? Why would you think it had anything to do with you?

These are the same people who hoot and squeal about abortion "killing babies".

Management, no doubt, regrets the error.

Were the cops white? Might explain their reckless disregard for the lives of the victims.

Cops don’t pull this shit because they’re scared.

They do it because they know they will get away with it.

Yep, right on time, the lie about "the driver tried to run us down!". This of course absolves the pigs of any guilt, "they were in fear for their lives" the poor babies.

Somehow I bet if there's CCTV it will show the opposite.

What ever happened to "They knew the job was dangerous when they took it"?

I wonder where on earth any law enforcement officer would get the idea its ok to shoot into a moving car full of citizens who at worst committed a minor non-violent infraction?

Just use this one simple trick: "Property Over Lives"

Especially over Black lives.

The asshats opining on social media that the mother caused this horror because "she chose to break the law" make me so enraged that it probably qualifies as cardio.

First, she didn't. She bought the diapers.

Second, even if she had stolen them, theft is not a capital crime.

Third, even if it was a capital crime, we don't carry out sentences before trial.

Fourth, even if we did, we don't carry out sentences on people's children.

These cops need to spend the rest of their lives in prison, with pictures of the child they killed permanently affixed to the walls of their cell.

I don't care if she was secretly Jack the fuckin' Ripper, we are not supposed to execute people on the spot without trial.

But if you are a republican or just white in the south, you have to caveat everything with the race-to-give-a-shit ratio which is black to zero shits in Mississippi.

Just watch. Fox News and other fascist spews outlets will claim that this child “was no saint” because he wouldn’t eat his strained peas.

I am not a police officer, but - you get the license plate and go pay them a visit?

“Oh sure! Just let the criminals get away with it!”

Its Mississippi cops. You know, the literal klan slave catchers. They never stopped, they just rebranded. That poor family..

"the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one"

Gee, why does that sound so familiar...?

This is straight up a racial shooting. They had so many other options to choose from and they chose the absolute worst and with malice. Sue them to death.

My credit cards were stolen last year. The thieves used them to purchase $5000 worth of products at an Apple Store. I called the store and spoke to a manager about identifying the thieves using their security cameras. I had the time of the purchase from my credit card company. The Apple Store said it wasn't worth their time to try and ID the thieves.

Someone stole my credit card and was purchasing thousands of dollars at Nordstrom at Christmas time. I didn't live in a city that had Nordstrom so it was online purchases to be delivered to my house. When I called and shut down the credit card I was told to contact Nordstrom and stop shipment.

Fucking Nordstrom told me to accept those packages and send them back to them. I'm like fuck no, criminals are going to pick those up at my house and what if they are armed and dangerous.

I called the police thinking this is hinky. They told me to never answer that door or intercept those packages to leave them if they are delivered. It was a ring of criminals that they were aware of.
