Police Shooting of 1-Year-Old Kohen Wiley ‘Was Justified,’ Mississippi Attorney General Says (www.mississippifreepress.org)

The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office announced on Monday.

“Today, the Office of the Attorney General announced it has completed the review of a June 14, 2026 incident in Senatobia involving one officer with the Senatobia Police Department,” the Republican attorney general’s statement said. “In this incident, the Attorney General’s Office found the use of force was justified. Pursuant to Section 45-1-6 of the Mississippi Code, the review followed an investigation by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.”

Officers were responding to a shoplifting call alleging that Wiley’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell had stolen a pack of diapers. The women exited the store with the child as officers arrived, entered their vehicle and began to leave the parking lot. Officers drew their weapons, and Vellesiya Wiley lifted her son up to show the officers that a child was in the car. One officer fired into the vehicle, killing the baby as she held him. A bullet also wounded Ferrell.

We can deviate a little from the conversation as other comments here have and others across Lemmy typically do without question.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have many comments here, you could've replied directly to them instead. Of course I'm going to think that you're looking for a place to bash women if you reply directly to that comment asking.

You're more than welcome to continue to ignore context throughout the Fediverse, I don't really care what you do.

I didn't take the time to read all of your comments, I apologize for that. It's still an open question of if there should be a location for emotional outbursts, not specific to what you're saying or what you're saying I'm saying. Of course people will have emotional outbursts and it's a real aspect of the human condition so it may be useful to have a location for that.

That's why I suggested !offmychest@lemmy.world or somewhere similar.

What're you doing here? Why are you talking about emotional outbursts on this post?

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works -2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Because it was the general topic of the comment I responded to. Thanks for the link btw.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Consider this a warning: We can speak about the horrors of this case without leaning into misogyny and attacking this woman for how she looks.

Comments attacking anyone for how they look will be subject to removal.

This is the comment you responded to, by the way.

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, emotional outbursts tend not to be amazing, or logical.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Now I know you're trolling. Shoo.

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not really but you're free to think I am. There's not much I can do about that.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I saw how you conducted yourself in the womensstuff community and I see what you're doing here.

A mod warning isn't an emotional outburst no matter what you think of women.

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works -2 points 4 days ago

I didn't say the mod warning was the emotional outburst. It's very appropriate for the location and circumstance here. I believe we may have a misunderstanding.
