The first time I heard of this tragedy, I broke down crying. Because I know humans are capable of atrocities, but this is just...actually one of the worst things I've heard in a long time. Nothing, NOTHING justifies shooting a 1 year old baby ever.

::: spoiler TMI, extremely WTF, also sad
The second reason for the crying was my (soon to be ex) bf. He basically went:
"Yeah, this is a real tragedy...but the mother is also to blame, she shouldn't have raised the baby up like that. You don't put a baby between yourself and police officers."
And that honestly made me realize I was living with someone who lacked lots of something called empathy, which I value immensely. Because in my mind, the only person to blame here for this monstrosity is that officer and nobody else. It didn't occur to me for a damn second to blame the mother for this. Like WTF??
I was shocked to the core when he said that...but unfortunately, I was kind of expecting a response like that from him, because I know how he is. And this isn't a person I want to spend my life with.

The body cam footage is sickening. The cops run out of the store with their guns already drawn.

They still call themselves Christians without a hint of shame. I wish I believed God was real, then I'd know they will pay for this in the afterlife.

And he shoots that baby point blank, through a side window as the car slowly rolls by

why are the police not at least getting mandatory training on how not to shoot a shoplifter?
