The officer who killed Kohen Wiley and the attorney General

Don't you find it odd they did not charge the mother. A man and woman get in a fight in front of their child and one gets charged with 3rd degree cruelty to children for exposing the child to that. Here she takes her child on a shoplifting trip, tries to get away from the police, does not put the child in a car seat and holds the child up to be shot. She should be charged.

I don’t see how this was termed a justifiable shooting.

This was a misdemeanor shoplifting. The shoplifter wasn’t the child’s mother.

The mother lifted up her son to show that there was a baby in the car. The officer fired into the car, killing the child and wounding the other woman.

The officer claimed (almost certainly falsely) that the driver tried to hit him with the car—but the bullets entered through the side window; not the windshield.

The police department hasn’t released any body cam footage.

The officer should be suspended without pay and face trial.

If the officer is “innocent” then it should come out in a fair trial.

At the very least, the officer fired into a car that he knew had a child inside.

The only officer who fired his gun, Hunter Foster, has resigned.

Attorney Ben Crump who represents the family has called for a DOJ investigation and wants Foster decertified.

The videos that have leaked show inconsistencies in both Foster’s and the mother’s stories.
