    Accused of stealing 20 dollars worth of diapers? Death penalty without trial for you and the occupants of your vehicle.

    Also, you want the footage that your tax dollars paid for? Fuck you.

      That’s one thing, another question is, what kind of society we are living in where a mother is forced to steal diapers?

      I also see stores that put baby formulas behind lock.

      Those are not some luxurious items, those things people would only steal if they had no other choice.

      Technical correction: She’s accused of driving her vehicle towards officers, which they used to justify the shooting.

      Disclaimer: I am not saying the shooting was justified. I know nothing about where the officers were or how she was driving.
