    If it was a white baby it’d be a different story,

    But, if it was a white shoplifter, it wouldn’t have resulted in gunfire in the first place

      I don’t know about the white baby. ICE killed white people in broad daylight before and people didn’t care, the ice thugs weren’t charged and everyone just carried on with their day.

        There was well more uproar over those two white people than there was over all the POC ice killed before and after them. There was well more uproar than there will be for this baby.

        We’re not anywhere near “killing a white baby as the mother holds it aloft” levels in America.

        They can just kill a white person in broad daylight, I can’t believe that we’ve come to this, I can’t imagine what that’s like, I can’t fucking imagine it, nobody’s been killing people in broad daylight before, and nobody cared, I can’t fucking imagine it!

      At first I thought the article said the shoplifting suspect was white, but it turns out the officer under investigation is white.
