A 1-year-old Mississippi boy is dead after police fired into a car in an alleged shoplifting case involving a box of diapers.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk just became a trillionaire.

1. Firing at shoplifters...

Pathetic

[hamsterjill]

2. There are times when there are simply no words.

This is one of them.

[Wednesdays]

3. The ONLY reason to use deadly force

...is if someone's life depended on it. Maybe not even then.

And this CERTAINLY doesn't fit that criteria.

4. WTF are we even doing?!?

What kind of shithole retailer is calling 911, leading to shooting into a car?
Remember folks, if you see someone shoplifting food/diapers, no you didn't.

5. "They tried to run me down!" is the new "stop resisting!!"

12. Adorable child, and big for 1 year. He must have been

closer to age two.

Sweet Jesus, people are barely getting by. I bet the mom works and so she needs disposable diapers for daycare. And now these hateful idiots have taken her baby away from her forever.

8. Disgust

It appears they are taking a page from the ICE agents “they were driving toward the officers” . . . Reports and video shows them driving away . . .while I wasn’t there I have questions like: They couldn’t get in their cars and chase the car? They couldn’t get the license plate and then locate the owners? They couldn’t even be sure these were the people Walmart claims stole the diapers. A chid is now dead over a box of diapers .

9. WTAF is wrong with these "people"?

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

10. So awful

[Buddyzbuddy]

11. Goodbye to that cute little guy.

Snuffed out for a f*cking box of diapers.
Great policy, Walmart. Did they seriously know it was diapers that were taken?

[AloeVera]

13. This is one of the worst things I've heard...

A stupid box of diapers? That's what a child's life is worth? The Mom was obviously desparate and struggling. I can't imagine how she feels now.

Every single asshole involved with the murder of this beautiful baby, from Walmart security on up/down needs to take a long good look at themselves. Hopefully from prison or out on the streets. Boycott Walmart and throw the murderer in jail!

[Initech]

14. God this country is so fucked up.

[MLAA]

15. I hazard to guess had his skin tone been lighter they would not have used deadly force.

This is truly heart wrenching and senseless.

18. "Meanwhile, Elon Musk just became a trillionaire"

THAT'S the (excuse me) real money shot here. Yes, racism and police violence are serious problems and this is a particularly nasty and egregious example of police overreaction and, quite probably, race-based profiling.

But the alleged offense was shoplifting a pack of diapers.

While Elon tries to imagine ways to use a trillion dollars to keep fucking over the non-human, unimportant people who aren't billionaire techbro nerds.

We are full "Tale of Two Cities" now, people.

And the MAGAts are STILL attributing everything that's wrong in their lives to everyone EXCEPT the greedy white male assholes who laugh at them and plan more ways to fuck them over.

disgustedly,
Bright
