On Monday, the office of the Mississippi attorney general, Lynn Fitch, announced that the police shooting of Kohen Wiley, a one-year-old, as he sat in his mother’s lap “was justified”. The statement came four months after the baby was killed in Senatobia, Mississippi.
On 14 June, officers in Senatobia, a small city near Memphis, were responding to a shoplifting call alleging Vellesiya Wiley, the baby’s mother, and Latoya Ferrell, a friend, had stolen a pack of diapers. Neither woman has been charged with a crime. Officials have not released any evidence of shoplifting.
According to police reports, on the day of the shooting, the women and child exited the store, entered their vehicle and began to leave the parking lot when officers arrived.
The police drew their weapons. Wiley lifted the baby up to indicate that there was a child in the car. An officer, identified by other records as Sgt Hunter Foster, fired into the vehicle, killing Kohen Wiley and wounding Ferrell. Foster is white; both Wileys and Ferrell are Black.

Unfortunately, a BIG chunk of Gen Z men and boys have fallen prey to far right “influencers” like Andrew Tate and Clavicular, so they can’t be counted on to do the right thing about anything.
Us millennials, being in our 30s to 40s, are still young enough to get shit done, though, as are the parts of Gen X that haven’t been infected with fascist ideology themselves. And Gen Z women and girls, of course.
I’m an elder millennial with a young adult Gen z son who is definitely not into that garbage but Gen Z is definitely leading the revolution charge worldwide
Problem is, we have famillies. Cant go protesting if you got to work & care. Parents are basically slaves to the system. Unless we want to be in such need to, you know steal diapers and get prolly killed.
And so do the French and Spaniards.
Lazy goat.
Don’t think the ones protesting in Spain or France are parents to little kids.
