Accused of stealing 20 dollars worth of diapers? Death penalty without trial for you and the occupants of your vehicle.
Also, you want the footage that your tax dollars paid for? Fuck you.
That’s one thing, another question is, what kind of society we are living in where a mother is forced to steal diapers?
I also see stores that put baby formulas behind lock.
Those are not some luxurious items, those things people would only steal if they had no other choice.

Technical correction: She’s accused of driving her vehicle towards officers, which they used to justify the shooting.
Disclaimer: I am not saying the shooting was justified. I know nothing about where the officers were or how she was driving.
Wow so the extraducial execution of innocent babies is justified for the petty crime of shoplifting in Mississippi? That is fuckin crazy. The attorney general is a demonic souless hag.
In a state with which bans abortion.
I guess if you need a late-stage abortion you can always go shoplift some diapers.
Out of the womb, fit for the tomb, that’s the Mississippi way.
Not post-birth abortions, apparently.
The crime was not the shoplifting, it was being black. None of this is about the diapers.
in what SHIT HOLE country do ‘cops’ draw weapons for stolen diapers?!?!
the diapers were insured with loss prevention, deadly force was NOT justified.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Exactly my thought process, especially since they haven’t produced any evidence of shoplifting and the cop shot a kid
Also, if you steal diapers and nothing else then maybe, JUST MAYBE you probably just can’t afford them despite them being rather essential in raising a child. Which doesn’t make it a non-crime, but it’s probably a sign that you’re actually in need.
And here I was thinking that raping kids, evading tax and making your country the lapdog of Russia should be punished more severely than stealing diapers out of necessity.
America is crazy. A women does shoplifting and officers shoot at her? I don’t know if you guys know how insane your country is.
Dont you have some law that officers only can use deadly force when their life or someone else’s life is in danger?
Not just shoplifting but literally stole a pack of diapers. People don’t steal diapers for fun, that’s obviously someone who was out of options, and took the only option left to her
Edit to add: apparently she didn’t even steal the diapers! Some customer said they thought she did and she didn’t have the receipt (because who grabs the receipt when they go and buy a single consumable item?)
Shops are also insured so it doesn’t even affect the owner. Some super rich insurance company gets to pay for a new pack of diapers.
Compare this with what’s going on in France, where thousands of immigrants are rioting and burning down stores and cars. Millions of dollars in damage. The police there still just use tear gas and rubber bullets and haven’t killed anyone.
America is in its own league of police brutality.
You might be getting your news from Fox about France.
I dont watch TV news at all, but ive watched YouTube videos from the riots filmed by ordinary people. That’s probably as close to the truth you can get without being there.
As is commonly known, in France they brand the word “immigrant” on the forehead of immigrants for easy identification.
As some late night host said (Stewart?): do you think immigrants are the ones who are rioting IN FRANCE?
Let me give you a hint: one of the places they rioted was the Bastille square.
Videos show black men with red, white, green flags so yes, it’s not the native French. :)
Of course it’s immigrants.
Have you seen the French national team? Judging people by their skin color is… how do you call it…
Are you trying to say the rioters in France are Mexicans?
She was also driving in the direction of the police officers. What else were they supposed to do? Stand out of they way? Not shoot a one year old child?
Surely you are not only thinking now, that America is crazy, right? I mean, they legit elected a fucking child rapist to be their president. Only in America™, ladies and gentlemen.
murica fuck yea
Freedom to the fullest, especially to exploit.
In the Land of The Free, you are obligated to kneel before your betters.
Land of the free that made slaves to build [it].
A women does shoplifting and officers shoot at her?
Cops love to shoot people. You barely need to give them justification.
Nope. Most state laws shield cops from trouble as long as they were trying to be a cop and openly doing cop stuff. There would be a review, but the review is just to establish the cop was doing cop stuff. Even not following “procedure” isn’t enough to remove the veil of legitimacy.
Dont you have some law that officers only can use deadly force when their life or someone else’s life is in danger?
Im sure a bootlicker like you will absolutely adore the concept.if only the police in France could just murder who they want… right? Then the cost of living crisis will be resolved and the schools will be fully funded.
Thanks but I dont see how I’m a bootlicker for thinking it’s awful how police shoots someone?
Wtf is this comment?
I blame the liberal gun laws. Because everyone potentially could be armed police officers constantly feel life threatened.
That’s no excuse.
Soldiers being sent into literal combat against enemy troops have rules of engagement that don’t allow them to fire unless fired upon. Why do police dealing with civilians have less-strict rules of engagement?
Not to mention other countries also having crime, and criminals with guns. They don’t use their weapons against people who are not a danger to anyone.
The mentality in America is difficult to understand from the outside. It’s very evil.
It’s difficult from the inside too.
The problem is people here are used to it being “the way things are” so they don’t go through the mental exercise of trying to understand it. It’s seen as perfectly normal, so it’s never questioned.
In the US the sky is blue, water is wet, and police are assumed to have been justified any time they kill someone.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, which investigated the shooting, alleged on the day of the shooting that “the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one.”
As of press time, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety has released none of the video surveillance of the shooting of Kohen Wiley, neither the body-cam footage nor the overhead video from the Walmart parking lot where Wiley was shot. A short clip from a bystander was posted on the internet shortly after the shooting, showing neither the shots being fired nor the car driving towards officers.
Don’t forget:
Neither woman has been charged with a crime, and officials have not released any evidence of shoplifting.
I bet this was the result of “can I see your receipt?” “No.”
almost striking one.
But… not … was she coming around for another pass? They had her fucking plates, just go pick her up at her house afterwards if she runs. This isn’t a situation that requires firearms.
I’d take it a step further in that diapers should be free anyways.
Cloth diapers maybe. Disposable diapers are a plastic blight on our planet.
Congratulations. You are now responsible for buying everyone a washer, dryer, spray nozzle toilet attachment, and the maintenance thereof. You will also be responsible for a portion of their work in lieu of the time spent.
Check your privilege.
Signed, two kids that had cloth diapers.
The fuck? You can wash them by hand without any of that shit.
Signed: A parent who used cloth diapers and never put shit diapers in a washing machine.
You definitely don’t need all that. Cloth diapers predate modern in-home washing machines. I had the “privilege” of being poor and raised in cloth diapers, back when food stamps were paper instead of a debit account, and if my parents could manage it there’s nothing stopping people today.
Also, what a stupid position. “How dare you suggest people take some responsibility for their waste instead of choosing the most convenient, selfish option at every turn! Don’t you know the world was invented five years ago and old-fashioned sustainable solutions literally don’t exist?”
And they knew there was a baby in the car, and there has been no evidence released to indicate shoplifting of diapers in the first place. The murderer (cop, just to be crystal clear) should be in prison. This sounds like a total shitshow from the moment the cops were called
Ok what the actual fuck has to be wrong with you such that you think that sequence of words is a reasonable thing to say? Jesus fuck.
In civilized countries, police officers are smart enough to just get out of the way of such a car, and deal with it later without shooting.
And miss the chance to shoot an innocent black person? I don’t think so!
This is the same police station whose chief was just fired last month, for, get this, extremely vile racism.
Just a wild coincidence, I’m sure. Also just a wild coincidence that the racist chief of police didnt punish the child murder when he was caught being racist:
Since Vanderford took over as chief, Foster has separately faced at least two complaints that he used racially offensive language with co-workers, Mississippi Today reported in July and August. In the months leading up to the shooting, Foster referred to a Black officer as a “Black motherfucker” and directed another derogatory remark toward a white co-worker who has a daughter with a Black woman, according to internal department complaints.
There’s no indication that Vanderford took any disciplinary action against Foster, who was allowed to remain on patrol.
Well that sounds like a recipe for really boring news!
Mississippi
Case closed.
MISSISSIPPI. GODDAM.
The only good thing about Alabama is that they are not Mississippi.
All them crooked letters made some crooked folks.
This was in response to shoplifting!? SHOPLIFTING!?
I guess that was on me for assuming the context would make this better and not 100 times worse.
But, didn’t you read? The officers said that the car may have went in their general direction.
Stolen diapers for the one year old that the police slaughtered is justified to kill a black person.
God I fucking hate this world.
FFVII Revelation is coming. I’m stealing the black fucking materia and calling meteor myself
No this was the response because she was black and shoplifting. It was 100% a race thing.
Shoplifting a singular pack of diapers, btw
No evidence released: Suspected shoplifting at best.
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.
stealing diapers or bread, should be a lesser crime, than stealing jewelry or clothing. Neither should justify shooting when running/driving away. If they put their hands up holding a baby, they are unlikely driving super fast, and may in fact doing step 1 of surrendering.
Even if a diaper thief were to use a hostage as human shield, shooting is only legally justified in Israel, where hannibal directive extended to civilians is part of their non-negotiation hatred towards the “palestinian problem”, and where Mississippi has and may still view violent oppression as the preferred “solution” to their racial tensions.
Any kind of stealing. I don’t care if they stole a diamond or the Mona Lisa, that doesn’t deserve the death penalty, much less an extrajudicial killing.
But as the other 49 say: thank God for Mississippi. And as the other 190 say: what the fuck is happening over there?
This world is ripe for an uprising against the ruling class and their bootlickers. The problem is getting everyone to agree on what they want.
I just have a constant pit in my stomach, knowing every day the constant thoughts in my mind egging me into impulsive action may one day lead me to do something that in the end will just be used as “moral” fodder against neighbors and people I care about.
But truly, when is enough, enough?
This world? Have you seen the French like every other year? Hungarians?
It’s mostly americans that just complain online and do nothing. Ice kills people on the street? My boss won’t let me protest. The president steals a few billions? That doesn’t affect me. A new war doubles the price of gas and sends groceries through the roof? Oh, DC is too far away…
To your last point, The distance from Paris to Moscow is 1500 miles, while the distance from los angeles to NYC is over 2500 miles.
For the rest, yeah it’s ridiculous, our turnout is not even a 10th of what it should be considering the insanity
The distance from Mombasa to Bangkok is 4500 miles. Which is equally irrelevant for protesting against literal murder.
Folks like to pretend Mississippi is the exemption. The bitter truth is that they’re just more naked in their cruelty.
We’re seeing Italy and France dissolve into police riots and neoliberal poverty just on the other side of the pond. We saw the same in Baltimore and St. Louis not that long ago.
The only possible reason to shoot a thief imo is if they perhaps stole firearms or explosives, as one could reason they are stealing them imwkth I tent to cause great harm. But fucking diapers? Hell a car? It’s just stuff not to mention these stores all have theft insurance anyways!! Or it’s been accounted for (see inventory “shrink”)
I was with you until the tinfoil hat israel bit. Weird, dude.
I often find myself sharing similar thoughts when reading comments that seem reasonable at first, but go off the deep end.
The Hannibal directive, is an official IDF protocol to kill captured soldiers. Oct 7th reaction included both mass shooting through civilian hostages on the day, and Helicopter mass firing on anyone running at the music festival. The genocidal bombing campaign that followed was specifically to avoid negotiations by exterminating hostages too.
So, your “tinfoil hat hasbara” bs disgustingly masks a far worse/extreme Israeli attitude towads “palestinian problem” than Mississipi’s historical attitudes towards “dealing with the negro problem”, which is if you lynch a few regardless of any guilt, it will teach the rest of them to stay in line.
No man, the problem is that you brought something completely unrelated to the post up. The complete blindside of a transition from one subject to the next in a completely unhinged manner is the “tinfoil hat” I’m referring to.
Don’t shoot when a human shield is being used is police training in most places. The transition is hateful supremacist cultures get “government justification” for it.
Last I checked Mississippi wasn’t in Israel.
Police are like a box of chocolates
They’ll kill your dog (or kid)
statesia:
Mississippi Department of Public Safety has released none of the video surveillance of the shooting of Kohen Wiley, neither the body-cam footage nor the overhead video from the Walmart parking lot where Wiley was shot.
That shit would have been all over youtube the fucking day after the shooting if it was actually justified.
Let’s see the videos.
The unredacted videos.
Though… I’m fine with reasonable censoring. Want to see the cops face consequences for their actions, not the blood/gore of a one year old.
I just want to see if the car was a threat to the police.
They used that excuse to justify killing Renee Good when you could see in the video that she was driving away and the thug with a badge kept trying to put himself in the way
They’re using every excuse they can think of to get away with this shit.
Pro-life right there
Only care about unborn children. The 18 years between birth and legal adult they are property, like a pet dog.
I’m not even sure anymore if it’s about the unborn children. I think it’s just about hating women. The cruelty is the point.
