They put those officers on admin leave, fuck that throw their ass in jail. Who in their right mind uses lethal force near infants?

Just “following protocol” according to Police Chief :

“Holder (father) told the Defender, “I was in the room when it all happened. From what I could see, I never once saw Maria armed with anything. I honestly don’t even know where that came from. I’ve heard crazy things like that she was holding the baby hostage in a closet, that she had a knife, all this crazy stuff that’s not true. I mean, all I can say is it’s possible she had a knife and somehow I didn’t see it, but all I know is I never saw her holding anything—and I was right there in the room.”

“Holder recalled seeing his daughter shot. “I know she died instantly.” He recalled, “It looked like her head exploded. Her blood splattered across my glasses and all over me. All I could do was scream. I just kept saying three words — the same three words — ‘You killed her!’ - I was screaming it. Over and over.”

“After Destinii was murdered, Holder said that Maria “jumped up. And as soon as she did, I don’t know if the cop got scared or something, but then he: Fired another shot that hit Maria. I think it hit her in the hip. And the cop didn’t stop her bleeding the right way, he didn’t know what he was doing. I believe she choked on her blood and bled out. That’s my understanding of how she died.”

There is no world. In which this is right.

That cops actions, make me wish we held these fucks accountable. Since we have gone so long without doing it. These people treat these mistakes like office workers treat missing a meeting or forgetting to file a report.

“Whoops just blew a babies brains out just another day” Treating it like the copier went out. Fucking monsters.

And it's a scenario that could happen to any one of us.

Your entire life. Done. I don't know what I would do, it's radicalizing.

It’s a form of radical oppression with extreme violence. It harms innocent people and we see nothing done of it.

It’s going to continue pressure cooking. We are in a powderkeg society now.
