Mississippi’s attorney general says a Senatobia officer was justified in using force when he responded to a shoplifting call and fired at a moving vehicle that investigators said was driving toward police, killing a boy who was in the car.

    This is the procedure they followed:

    Was the deceased white?

    Yes: they are a victim and the police were at fault.

    No: The perpetrator was clearly a violent criminal. The use of force is justified.

      The police would only be at fault if it was a white person and the police officer is Hispanic or black. If they were white, it was an unfortunate tragedy and no-one at fault.

          It’s easy to forget there are class traitors such as PoC cops, to be fair

    Post natal abortion in a state where it’s illegal.

    EDIT: I want to be clear. This is tragic in all sorts of ways. My comment could look like a joke but it’s just the sad reality.

    So thankful I managed to get out of this state. Of course, I’m still in the US, so not sure how much of an improvement I really made.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
