JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Since when has the police ever responded fast enough to catch them in the parking lot? When I worked at the Walm and somebody stole pallets of playstations we waited 8 hours for someone to arrive to investigate the truck.

So in Mississippi, stolen diapers is the death penalty for your kid via a bullet, FIRED THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE CAR. Got it... If the pig isnt being charged, then they have nothing to hide, right? RIGHT? Lets see the effing pig cam.

A Black baby’s life does not matter in Amerikkka. If anyone doubted that, here is your proof. The evil stench of Mississippi still rises.

That woman is a complete piece of white trash. A mother needs diapers so desperately she shoplifts and the punishment is the death of her child?????? Are you f#%king kidding us?? Mississippi->time to protest. Revolt against your disgusting state leadership.

This is the way it has always worked in Mississippi. The only difference now is they are more selective about where they wear their hoods and robes, and more careful about throwing around the n-word in public. But the underlying sentiment is the same as 100 years ago.

Mississippians: I want you to close your eyes. Sitting in her mamma’s lap in a car is a one year old baby. A law enforcement officer shoots into the car claiming its occupant committed a crime of shoplifting. The baby is shot. The baby dies. Now . . . That one year old child is white.

this is insane. as usual, they are using the famous ice excuse that the person "weaponized their vehicle". but once again, just like every time ice has used this excuse, bystander footage has refuted it. prerogative state: you can't just lie any more. everybody has cameras, you murdering assholes!

The punishment for shoplifting isn’t the death penalty. No officer should have fired at that car. Even if it was going toward them (which I don’t believe) the police officers could just get out of the way of the car. In NYC ICE shot into a car with a 5 year old inside. They didn’t care to check.

The AG is a female? It’s distressing for me to find out that a woman who gets to a higher position can be just as big a POS as her male predecessors.

Riots had started over adults being beaten by bad cops, why isn't there rioting over this innocent baby? Both the judges & cops head should be on a platter. That baby was unarmed & if he was white, that cop would've bought the diapers & let the mom & child go.

Just so you know, folks, she still wants to be the next governor of Mississippi, and be like become governor unless Andy Gibson beats her. Which he very well may do. Not that he will resist the MAGATs any better.... But hell, she just let off a baby killer. God help us.

Protocol says no shooting is justified until you delete body cam videos. They followed protocol. The Police Academy teaches it in 5 training films. Ask Leslie Neilson. Baby wasn't in child seat. They let driver live because she was innocent of shoplifting. That's unusual restraint for Mississippi.

This woman was so desperate she stole diapers and they deemed lethal force was required? Their response to seeing a baby was to shoot him? I am so angry 💔

exactly...yah...it's enabled too by the fascist regime we have for our USG...the apartheid state....it's tantamount to holding a "public lynching" and that is soooo southern...gawd it disgusts me.

So alleged shoplifting has become a capital crime- of a child! The new “go to” excuse for killing civilians (the car was aimed right at me) has been brought to you by ICE.

Is it because they’re all too slow to step out of the way? That worked for Renee Good’s murderer. He got a better shot through the side window! 😡😡😡

The US of A never stops to utterly mortify the western world with it's utter lack of compassion and humanity. I realise that most Americans don't agree with this women. But it's utterly revolting that anyone like her is in any form of office.

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch was the one who brought the SCOTUS case to overturn Roe v Wade, says killing a 1 year old is justified to stop shoplifting. Reminder: Republicans don't care about life, they care about power.

No it doesn't. "Right To Life" is just a blatant lie. They do not believe that anyone has the right to life. They just say that because as delusional as they are, they still recognize that "We should control all wombs" is not a palatable political proposal for most people.

They went with the “she’s coming right for us!” defense. In a parking lot. What, did she aim the car toward cops and floor it? I bet not. Could the cop not simply step aside if they thought the car was headed their way instead of shooting?

Exactly. The article says that no evidence of shoplifting has been presented. (However, if two women stole one pack of diapers, that speaks to dire need.)

yes...and our WH and admin and the apartheid Tech bros are enabling all of this behaviour...they love it...it's in their skin...such disgusting things going on in USA....

Wait. I didn’t touch the stones at Craigh na Dun. I have been transported back to a dark period of our history, have I? This is still 2026 isn’t it? Have to ask. Being more difficult to determine what century I’m living in these days…

Imagine for none moment that this happened in a civilised country? The world would be aghast. But because it's the US it's just par for the course.

Republicans ought to put an expiration date on those “pro-life” bumper stickers: compassion valid until birth. If your outrage ends at delivery, spare us the sermons about the sanctity of life.”

The US version of being pro life is really strange... Force women to give birth then leave the kids to manage no matter what. True pro-life means healthcare, good education, teaching new parents when necessary. Cops killing kids is appalling! North Korea seems free in comparison to the fascist USA

"She was shoplifting and she tried to kill an officer with her car, and a toddler was killed as a result. No, we haven't charged her." I'd sooner believe a cold caller telling me I won the lottery.

And Attorney General hasn’t released either of two videos that might prove the mother was driving at the officers. Why the hell not?!Perhaps because it disproves her case?

Moreover, why just discharge your weapon willy-nilly? Even if it were true, it wouldn't stop the car and it would be more likely to cause the car to hit you, since it a dead driver can't brake or swerve -- and if you don't need them to brake or swerve, the car's not coming for you, and its no threat
