The police officer who shot and killed a 1-year-old boy in Mississippi when he fired into a moving vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call has resigned, the Senatobia mayor told The Associated Press Friday.

Fired into a moving vehicle at a fucking shoplifting call, killing a toddler and gets nothing more than a slap on the wrist. This society is fucked.

A lawsuit filed in federal court in Mississippi in 2021 accused Foster and a group of 12 other Southaven police officers of civil rights violations during a 2019 arrest of two Black men outside a Waffle House. The two men said they had been searching for a lost set of keys when they were violently arrested and beaten by several officers.

They alleged that Foster submitted a report falsely stating that they tried to run over another officer with their vehicle.

Not even his 1st time using the old "they're coming right for us!" defence...

Because we allow cops to investigate themselves.

All investigations of law enforcement should be handled by a civilian agency.

I disagree. A lifetime like that usually negatively affects several other people.

That would presume he has a conscience. I bet he's a psychopat though, without the smallest bit of remorse or self reflection. He is most likely convinced he has done nothing wrong and is being treated unfairly.

Cops are civilians. Cops want no civilian oversight without UCMJ.
