SENATOBIA, Miss.—People scattered in a Walmart parking lot on Tuesday as law enforcement officers, who were wearing gas masks and lined up under the store’s grocery-side entrance, unleashed tear gas on the crowd that had gathered to protest the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.
Two days earlier on June 14, the young Black child died after a Senatobia police officer fired into a moving car, killing him and injuring the driver. Officers, who had been responding to a call alleging that someone had tried to steal a box of diapers, claimed that the car was driving toward the officer when he fired—a claim that some witnesses have disputed.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
By the cops own logic we should be shooting cops on sight to make the streets safer.

Same here. My wife gets jury duty almost annually, and has served on a murder trial. It’s been like a decade since I had to show up
At this point I’d consider it a valid self-defense argument.
