The woman, Talisa Coombs, told Delaney she’d just gotten into what she alleged was a physical altercation with her granddaughter’s mother, Maria Pike, and called 911. Independence police’s response to that 911 call ended with the shooting death of Pike, 34, and her two month old daughter, Destinii Hope — who were identified Tuesday by authorities from the Police Involved Investigative Team, or PIIT, a team of eastern Jackson County detectives called in to investigate police shootings and use-of-force incidents.

The officer who fired his weapon was “a long-tenured veteran of law enforcement,” Dustman said. That officer and another two who were at the scene are on administrative leave.

    My dad used to use this technique to settle disputes: “if you are gonna fight over it, neither of you can have it!”

    Though I don’t recall him ever shooting a baby in the face so maybe these cops need more training.

    Or some fucking lead to their own foreheads.

    Is that too far? No. No I don’t think it is.

        They wouldn’t stop. They’ll double down on the violence. And the government will be on their side.
