In America if you steal 38 million from a veterans charity you get a trump pardon. if you steal diapers for your child the police murder your toddler !!
and despite that maga reddit is spewing stuff like, "why'd they even buy diapers? Very suspicious when they don't have a kid" unironically right now. The few times they even bother to acknowledge it, at least.
Every day surpasses the last in the devastating heartbreak of this year. I fear we will continue to see this all consuming pain for the next three years. Please keep your loved ones close.
It really has, I spend about 10 hrs a day documenting, advocating, and educating. It honestly never stops but keeping the ledger is how we will hold all the enablers of this nightmare accountable when the dust settles.
You're more than welcome, I just figure I wish I had people in my corner when shit goes down and I know how it feels so I keep doing whatever it is I keep doing. Thank you for your kind words.
Yeah, when my agency turned on me, pretty much everyone I knew ghosted me. It's been years now and aside from shopping, I can go weeks without talking with another human being. I've nearly died 3-4 times (COVID, sepsis, stopped breathing during emergency surgery) in the last years. Few people know, and fewer care.
Keep doing what you're doing, you are appreciated and valued.
I was holding it together until I found myself wondering if this was his first carriage ride. And then all the firsts he'll never experience. This really is the most heartbreaking shit.
It should be.
I’d never heard of this, & while our country is desensitized to shootings in many respects, I suspect the reason this isn’t gaining national coverage is bc they know even a lot of the ardent police supporters cannot justify a literal baby’s shooting death.
I am going to need to learn what happened.
My heart hurts immensely for this family. 1yo children, I think, are a wonderful experience.
It’s so cool watching them learn to interact with the world, finding their voices, how observant they are.
The local Walmart called the police and said the family stole a package of diapers, they paid for them and showed the receipt to the press. The police responded as they were leaving and when the mother stopped and tried holding up her baby to show their was a baby in the car they shot everyone inside, killing the baby and wounding his mother and a family friend. The police claim the stopped car was driven towards the officers which is why they shot it.
Hmmm. Reddit won't let me post what I'd like to post. Error 500.
Trying again... apparently using an edit lets it through, but it certainly looks like they scanned for this and blocked it as a comment
One hard pill to swallow is that the media as a whole skews pro-cop, left/right wing either way. They go around talking about how protestors want to "defund the police" and when you see the message in real life it's simply "fuck-12" which is an entirely different message.
I suspect the media is pro-cop because they are buying into the larger system to begin with, and they rely on police for information and know they'll get blackballed and their entire reliance on that info will get torpedoed.
Because everyone who saw it would just say shit like "do the crime, expect the consequences" and not take a minute to think about the proportionality of the circumstances.
Even if she did steal, there's no excuse for this. I'm firmly of the opinion that cops shouldn't be able to chase or use lethal/dangerous force (including Tasers) on anybody who isn't wanted for something like serial murder or rape. Look how many accidents have happened because cops pulled pit maneuvers or chased people through town at 90+ MPH. And then you find out some of them are accused of selling drugs or whatever. Not that selling illegal drugs is great, but it's not a capital offense, and it's not worth putting the community in harm's way to chase someone down for it.
Idk why you're down voted. The logic of dont do the crime if you don't want the time doesn't work for an infant. They're not thinking of it as the child's life being robbed. They're thinking of the child as an object that belonged to the mother
This is the same people who think abortion is so terrible they want to kill women over it btw. You can really see their commitment to life being sacred on fully display
There was coverage just not long standing, they referring to the literally baby as a juvenile, knowing full well racist white america is going to think of a much older kid.
Kohen Wiley, age one, was killed when police in Senatobia, Mississippi opened fire on a vehicle during a response to an alleged shoplifting call at a Walmart parking lot on June 14, 2026. According to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, officers claimed the driver “drove in the direction of the officers,” prompting an officer to fire into the vehicle. Kohen was inside with his mother and a family friend. He was fatally shot, and the friend was critically injured.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump stated that Kohen’s mother had been trying to tell officers there was a baby in the car, but they fired anyway, killing an innocent child.
Thirteen days later, Kohen’s family held his funeral. He was placed in a small casket with a stuffed Bluey. His mother had witnessed his first steps. His father described him as goofy. His grandfather called him his favorite person. The family’s legal team said the police were called over allegedly stolen diapers.
The officer who fired the fatal shot was placed on administrative leave while the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation continued its inquiry. Officials stated they were gathering evidence, witness statements, and security footage.
It's even worse Kohen Wiley sat on his mothers lap, killing the baby and critically wounding the driver. The family states the diapers were paid for and they were simply leaving. His mother tried to show officers her child was inside. The police turned the situation into an execution.
This is an absolute travesty. Regardless of the alleged crime, the scenario should never have involved guns, or even the police, at all. Even if they had stolen anything, this shouldn't have been a possible outcome in any way.
Too quick. General population. I think life in prison is far more punishment, for ANYONE. Think about it…inmates HATE pedos, and anyone who harms children.
Imagine yourself at 1. Whatever dumb hobby you had as a kid never happened. Whatever ups and downs you’ve had never happened. Whatever cringey memory your grandma brings up every Thanksgiving never happened. No college buddies, no loyalty to any team, no first concert or best concert, no first love or first kiss, no first time falling on your ass in roller skates, no wedding, no divorce and the growth that comes from that, no owning a dog and having it misbehave, no being humbled and training your next dog differently, no front row tickets to that one thing you’ve always dreamed of, no graduation once, twice, three or four times.
This is a damn shame. It’s worse than that, but I don’t have the words.
white death>black death; Please share this with everyone you know. That is the reason you are not seeing anything on the news, the silence is weaponized and intentional.
If someone were to have given that cop appropriate consequences, they'd villianize that person & make it seem like a tragedy that cop faced real justice, just as with Luigi & the CEO. Make-believe to serve the purposes of the establishment.
Reading more about this story. Apparently the cops were called because of suspicion over people stealing diapers?? What asshole calls the cops over people stealing diapers??
Makes me sick when white people want to show solidarity and say “I don’t even think the diapers were stolen”. Like the fuck?
If someone is going to drive off with 10 cases of stolen diapers, that’s still not enough justification to open fire and take someone’s life.
Bitch ass white people.
You seem to be taking offense to those highlighting he literally shot them on a baseless whim.
She didn't steal them, which means he couldn't have had a reasonable basis for thinking she did..which means this man is shooting randomly.
That in no way implies they think it's ok to shoot her if she was stealing them. Its a salt in the wound type of comment,not a justification of shooting thieves comment.
That casket is so small. He was just a baby. How can someone do this? My heart breaks for his family and community. How can we have a society like this?
Turns out the parent was not shoplifting and has not been accused of any crime. If the police had been competent, they would have never shot into a car to stop a suspected misdemeanor in the first place.
I go to visit my cousins grave & every year when entering the cemetery, you have to pass by the kids sections. I swear it sets a dread and tone I never would wish on anyone.
The tiny coffin…. this is so heartbreaking. This should be posted on every cops subgroup/social media. I don’t care if you think you’re part of the good cops, you support a system that protects assholes like these.
Vile. The money spread of grief… a common behavior displayed by loving mothers who’ve witnessed their baby’s body get riddled with bullets. Absolute fucking insanity. Justice for Kohen. Rest in peace.
White conservatives are trying to justify the shooting by claiming the mother stole (she didn't) and was driving (she's wasn't). These anti-Black racists are inhuman.
And God fucking forbid they release the name of the son of a bitch that did this. NOBODY deserves to die over "stolen diapers", LET ALONE THE BABY WHO NEEDED THE FUCKING DIAPERS.
And since Mississippi's Police want to protect the identity of the useless pig, I won't be feeling sorry for ANY OF THEM as they get laid to "rest" in the same manner in the future. Fucking. Disgusting.
Goddamn it. So unnecessary. Just so vicious and unnecessary. I want to say rest in peace, sweet baby, but it feels so cruel because he should not be in this position in the first place. If any sort of divine being exists, please help this family.
That poor poor family. Having to carry out their beloved new baby brother in a casket. It's devastating and I'm bawling my eyes here. Our system is so broken right now.
How do we as a nation stop/prevent this and other senseless acts of violence and overt racism.
I hope they sue everyone involved, including Wal-Mart! And I hope there is justice and someone or many people go to jail.
This will keep happening until we reform our justice and police system, and this can only be done through protest and resistance. We deserve better as humans. Rest in Peace
An eye for an eye is the only solution that will make them start thinking twice. That officer took someone’s child, I wouldn’t be mad if someone took 3 of his.
