Supposedly the cops arrived on the scene just as the alleged thieving couple and their toddler were making off with the pillaged Pampers. The cops claimed the perps leaped into a car to flee and “drove toward them.” (I wonder if this is the same “driving towards” them that Jonathan Ross claimed Renee Good was {was NOT} doing before he shot her three times.)
For some odd reason, the cops were incapable of stepping out of the way of the vehicle. Instead they decided it was a real bright idea to shoot at the driver. FYI, shooting the driver doesn’t actually make a car that's in motion magically stop. Even if you nail the driver, the car will keep moving forward. If the car was going to hit you, that’s still gonna happen (unless you jump outta the way). I guess public schools and the police academy don’t teach logical reasoning skills – ya know, the ability to analyze a situation, identify patterns, and use facts versus emotion to make decisions. Also, Newton's First Law of Motion. Hello?
Nah, that’s girly or gay or beta (or some other micro-dicked incel insult), LET’S JUST SHOOT SOMETHING INSTEAD!
Additionally ... and I'm only asking, isn’t lethal force, as a response to desperately poor people shoplifting diapers from billionaire owned Walmart, kind of … extreme overkill? In this case, quite literally. Also those motherfucking cops saw that couple get into the car with the baby and they still opened fire. Ace job Po-Po!
A woman was also critically injured but we should all be totally relieved to read that none of the incompetent, testerical, trigger-happy Keystone Kops were injured. Right. Sure.
Note bene: In this economy, while we’re being ruled by fascist, misogynistic, racist billionaires who are hellbent on destroying the middle-class and turning the US into a dystopian version of medieval Europe, complete with a Trump/RFK jr endorsed Bubonic Plague, if you see someone shoplifting food or baby supplies NO, YOU DID NOT! Walmart is ranked second among the largest U.S. companies by revenue. According to Investopedia, the Walton family is the richest family in the world, with a fortune exceeding $500 billion. I don’t think a few lost boxes of diapers are gonna make a dent in their bottom line. Also, they don’t pay their employees enough to pull this traitor shit on their fellow poors. I mean, what the actual poverty wage fucking hell?
Remember when the police motto was, laughably, "To Protect and to Serve”? Yeah, that was some real 1950s era middle to upperclass white people propaganda for ya.
This is what we get in a society where poverty is shamed, blamed, and criminalized and avarice/greed is venerated and glorified. This is America.
