"Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one,"

Release the video so we can see this for ourselves, piggies. I'm willing to bet the piggy was nowhere near the car until they tried to jump into its path so as to justify magdumping a child.

Also I hate this passive news voice shit:

A child was killed after an officer fired upon a vehicle following a reported shoplifting at a Walmart in Mississippi, authorities said.

Phrasing it as though those are two separate, unrelated events. A cop fired at a car and a child was killed, we have no idea if these two events are connected in any way shrug-outta-hecks

    Yeah, coming off the "almost striking one" and then dropping "No officers were seriously injured, the bureau said." honk-enraged

    Yeah, no shit! No officers were injured. At all. And if they aren't releasing cam footage there is 0% chance they were ever at risk of being injured...

    When I was still on the Facebook hell site, I would make a lot of liberals angry at me for pointing this shit out. I can't stand the media. "Officer involved shooting." Okay jane, how was the officer involved???"

    Officers deliberately put themselves in a situation which could only escalate and give them qualified immunity excuse to kill on the ground they were annoyed and inconvenienced. As per standard training.
