I always wonder how Texas can be such a shithole, but then I remember it his Mississippi for inspration. What a racist hellhole.

People also beat up Florida while sleeping on the evil shit coming out of Tennessee.

Again and again I say, "Cops\ICE will kill you anyway." Defend yourself accordingly. With your gun, if that wasn't clear. I'd rather be a bullet riddled corpse than a clean one.

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.

To bad they dont vote. They could have Texas lousiana and Mississippi purple or blue if they'd vote, but they don't and don't care too. Fuck kamala they said. No one even has to pander to them on either side. Because whats the point, they don't vote anyways. They're out there shooting their kids over a thing of diapers and they don't care.

Are "they" in the room with us now??

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

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 pa...

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

It’s times like these I sympathise with people who shoot cops on sight.

One of the most horrible videos I've ever seen was a little PoC kid with a backpack on (elementary school-aged) hiding behind a car because a cop car happened to drive by and he didn't want to be harmed.

I wasn't making a statement one way or another. I was just curious as to how true or false that was.

I'd say you're in the realm of reasonable. 38% turnout is pretty pathetic. So is 55%.

If we're not pushing 85% or more, something is wrong.

Thanks because I wanted to say that kind of because it should be like 90-100% ideally, yanno? but I also feel like I might have sounded really racist and don't want to like seem like I'm just changing goal posts or trying to continue being just a jerk.

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!

Nah. Listen, some one else shared the stats they're at like 38 %. It should be 88-98%. Every black woman I was close enough in the military to ask said they didn't vote, I'm not just being a jerk.

But while it's true they aren't voting much- I was wrong- black people are voting a bit more than other demographics and deserve less social shame than other demographics. but they still deserve some shame.

Did you also ask them if they joined epsteins army for "muh freedums" or a paycheck?

At what point did you realise you were killing innocent brown school kids overseas so your pigs at home could kill black babies in mississippi?

One year old is not a toddler. It's a baby.

So the police content she tried to run them over with her child in her lap? It seems like holding her baby up to show the cops and having the child shot as well as the passenger would be consistent with shooting from the side. But I'm sure the cops wouldn't lie.

That and imagine the political power they suddenly have if they do start to turn out at 85% while whites are still sitting at 55%.

Georgia is 33% black, 57% white.

Georgia's population is 11.3 million, 77.8% 18 and older is 8.79m.

At the rates in that chart that would be 1.07m black voters, 2.5m white.

85% black turnout would put them at 2.47m votes.

If it can walk it's a toddler, but that's a weird thing to get hung up on in this context. Is it morally any different to kill an infant or a four-year-old? (It's not, it's unimaginably heinous either way.)

I guess I'm the only one who thinks it's even worse to shoot a baby.

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?"

We haven't seen the body warn yet, but the issue is why is shooting at her automatically justified in this context? Driving at officers or not. Why did officers put themselves in the position to be driven at, why not just tail her and pull her over, why not get her registration and go to her address. There are far more alternative options than (as seems to the standard) going for maximum force first.
