After the questionable prosecution of the two JPD officers, the AG is trying to get back into the good graces (votes) of LEOs.
That’s some bullshit
Why am I not surprised?
So did they arrest the shoplifter and her accomplice and charge them with child endangerment too?
The police can "feel scared" and their use of force of justified, but for private citizens you literally have to get seriously injured before using force.
What kind of a mother takes a child out shoplifting?
Is this the walmart parking lot shooting of the toddler?
Yeah, the blue haired crowd will never be satisfied, but then, they have never faced a speeding car coming AT them with the intent to run them over.
And like it has been reported, ALL because of some pampers, except, the driver was trying to flee ALL because of some pampers.
@1:26 this situation aside, just speaking to that one point you had, no you do not have to get seriously injured. You have to have reasonable belief that imminent harm will come to you or others. In other words, if your pointing a 357 at Mrs. Johnson at the grocery store and you are shaking screaming, the law green lit your ass for removal from society. This situation specifically, I don't think he met the criteria for use of deadly force because seemingly all he had to do was step to the side, but that is Monday morning quarterbacking on my part.
Too little, too late Lynn.
We wont ever voting for you again.
No wonder people don’t trust law enforcement anymore
Why hasn’t the police body cam video been released? Why was no one ever charged with shoplifting? If they were shoplifting why did the cops not handcuff them before they drove off? They were detained on suspicion of shoplifting then allowed to get in their car and leave. There’s a lot of missing information here.
Don’t you know when you have a gun and a badge your above the law
Of course it was justified. The mouth breathers will never be satisfied unless it fits their predetermined outcome.
Detained at Walmart simply means a Walmart loss prevention employee asked the individual or individuals to stop and step into their office. The individuals DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLY with walmart... Walmart then calls law enforcement. If someone wants to take off they do and by rules of Walmart they cant chase after them.... last time I checked Walmart employees dont have handcuffs or arrest power, therefore they can walk away without cuffs
From what I understand, MBI has the whole investigation and they usually take longer than locals.
And if you dont have a gun and a badge all u do is sit behind ur desk an bitch.... get your scared ass up and look the devil in his eyes... make sure to bring your baby wipes for your sensitive ass
So that brings us back to why was nobody ever charged or arrested? And a 1 yo ends up dead!
Call the that Walmart location and ask them, they are the ones that sign the charges.. im sure they will explain everything
I doubt Walmart wanted to press charges after the dimwits managed to get the baby killed by involving him/her in their crime.

Why don't you ask Ben Crump? Or has he moved on to greener pastures?
The bigger piece of shit is the one that used her baby as a meat shield.
I know 1 year children are scary! I would be afraid of a baby in diapers too!!!!!
It takes a REAL man to kill a one year old child!
The decision was based on evidence, not emotion. That is what determined the result. However, Walmart will still get sued, a settlement will get paid, and everyone will talk about the victim with no one holding the driver accountable. Same shit, different day, more bad behavior gets rewarded.
But the baby was coming right for him. You make that split second choice of either taking a step to the right or shooting a baby and see how you’d react. This cop heroically shot that baby.
Everyone agrees that it was tragic for the child to die, but this is all about where one assigns blame. If you're the kind of person who is willing to engage in a criminal act with your young child in tow, then you will think blame is always best placed elsewhere. But if you are among those who understand that your child depends on you not just for the necessities of life but also for good decisions that will keep them safe, then this decision came down where it should.
Mississippi Today states that the MBI turned over the entire investigation to Lynn Fitch who then chose not to prosecute. This is a done deal. Final score is Baby killing cops 1 - dead babies 0. It’s a clean sweep for the baby killing crowd.
What kind of human shoots a baby?
Where are you getting this info? Speeding right at them? Intent to run them over? Do you have the bodycam video? It appears Lynn Fitch doesn’t want that video released for some peculiar reason since it obviously exonerates the baby killer.
Clearly the silence from Ben Crump on this case means he saw the video from they body cameras and thought there was no case. He'll hem and haw again if this hits national press, but considering how much he has shown he will lie, that must be really damning video to keep Crump silent.
The police officer went to work that day to protect the citizens of Senatobia, but he has a duty, too, to go home to his family, safe and sound. When he woke up that morning, he certainly did not set out to take the life of a child. The mother wasn't driving the car, but the mother most certainly knew her driver did not pay for those diapers and was shop lifting, and she right then and there could have not gone along with putting her child in harms way. This entire situation is so incredibly sad and I pray for the child's family, no one should lose a baby under any circumstances. But I pray for the officer and his family, too. If anyone is to blame for this, it is the MOTHER!
10/19 at 3:39 PM - Well said.
The police should be sued not Walmart. Walmart didn’t tell them to murder that baby!
I agree one standard for law enforcement another for everyone else
