SENATOBIA, Miss.—People scattered in a Walmart parking lot on Tuesday as law enforcement officers, who were wearing gas masks and lined up under the store’s grocery-side entrance, unleashed tear gas on the crowd that had gathered to protest the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.
Two days earlier on June 14, the young Black child died after a Senatobia police officer fired into a moving car, killing him and injuring the driver. Officers, who had been responding to a call alleging that someone had tried to steal a box of diapers, claimed that the car was driving toward the officer when he fired—a claim that some witnesses have disputed.
If they didn’t actually take the item out of the store without paying for it, they didn’t break the law.
Also, based on that call, the officers knew for sure there was probably going to be an infant in the car they recklessly fired into.
People should just shoot cops first and claim said defense. It’s the same thing they’ll do to you. No one hears your side of the story when you’re dead.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
By the cops own logic we should be shooting cops on sight to make the streets safer.
I used to not want jury duty, but now I cant wait for the next time.
Same here. My wife gets jury duty almost annually, and has served on a murder trial. It’s been like a decade since I had to show up
At this point I’d consider it a valid self-defense argument.
Well, you know, there’s been that rash of baby-supply shoplifting rings hitting Walmarts to uh…sell for…crack or…something…maybe…
