I had bookmarked this story a few days ago, but passed on publishing a post about it. That changed, though, when I saw that Rep. Rashida Tlaib had decided to jump in and crow about the murder of a 1-year-old by police. So, we're going to politicize this tragedy? OK, let's do it. Black Lives Matter demanded body-worn cameras on police officers back in 2020, and for the most part, they got their wish. The only thing is, bodycams kind of backfired on them, repeatedly showing cops defending themselves from people who decided to rush them, often with weapons drawn.
Let me start with a post that breaks the story down to its essence, as the Left sees it: Police at Walmart shot a 1-year-old and got away with it. This was posted on Saturday.

Now, let's flash back a week to Tlaib's version of events:
I am outraged and heartbroken. Precious one-year-old Kohen Wiley was murdered by police. I am holding the family and community in my prayers, and I stand with those demanding justice and accountability. The police violence terrorizing our communities must end. https://t.co/QhbrHsR3wm

"The police violence terrorizing our communities must end."
This was from yesterday:
There is no justification for murdering a one-year-old baby. Kohen Wiley should still be alive today, but a police officer stole his future. It’s outrageous that the Mississippi AG refused to prosecute him. There must be justice for Kohen & his family. End police violence. https://t.co/YEWFSJBIzn

Why would the Mississippi attorney general refuse to prosecute a cop who shot a 1-year-old? Let's go to the bodycam footage … maybe that will provide a clue.
@RepRashida Here is the body-camera footage. The woman driving the car not only HIT one police officer while trying to run away, but also attempted to MURDER another one while trying run away a SECOND time. If you don't try to MURDER police officers, they won't shoot at you. https://t.co/Dh3xGIZZC9

🚨 NOW: Ben Crump demanded the bodycam footage in the Senatobia Walmart shooting. Now it's out, and it does NOT match the story the family has told for four months. The women were being chased over stolen diapers and baby clothes, with a 1-year-old in the car. Officers SURROUNDED the car, yelling "Stop!" over and over. The driver slammed into a parked SUV and then drove FORWARD toward officers with their guns drawn. Darkhorse Press, which first published the footage, says at least TWO officers were hit. The attorney general has already declined to charge the officer. Little Kohen Wiley should be alive today. The person behind the wheel made that choice, not the police.

Huh. That complicates matters. Maybe the driver should have learned from that Venezuelan national not to try to ram your way out of a law enforcement stop with your 5-year-old in the backseat.
Here's another angle from a security camera.
@RepRashida Or don’t go on a shoplifting spree with your baby, try to run down officers and use your baby as a human shield. Just saying. Stupid bitch. https://t.co/afeFS16yup

@RepRashida Let’s blame everybody but this trifling bitch. Typical liberal fucktard. https://t.co/yLZXyGlV4e

Is that her?
@RepRashida I agree his mother should go to jail for putting her child in harm’s way. Glad to see you on the correct side of personal accountability
— AZPittsburghFan (@AzPittsburgh) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida You really are a nasty, nasty woman, you know damn well that bitch drove at police with her child in her lap ( not in a car seat) and forced the police to shoot. You will burn in hell for your nasty lies some day. Absolutely disgusting!

@RepRashida Maybe don’t try to commit a crime with your baby in your arms then try to run down a police officer with your car. The bullet missed its target, the officer has a right to defend himself and not be run down by a criminal.
— Proud Son of a US Marine (@SunsetInVenice) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida Actually, the mother should be charged with manslaughter. She lost her baby during a crime. These horrific choices led her to today.
— Dave Wilson 🇺🇸 (@Ickypik) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida He wasn't murdered. He was endangered with grave consequences by the driver of the car.
— Bill Isaacs (@BillIsaacs7) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida Kohen Wiley would still be alive if his mother didn’t value diapers over his life
— El Blanco (@ElBlanco3006) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida Pro tip. Don't have your baby in the car if you are going to try and run from police.
— 🇺🇸 Howard Taft's Friendly Ghost (@BamaForever13) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida 🥱 His mom stole his future you pos. If “mom” wouldn’t have used him as a shield thinking police wouldn’t shoot her when she tried to run them down with her car over a minor shoplifting offense, he would still be here.
— Visage (@Visagepro) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida It’s outrageous a mother would go on a crime spree with their one year old baby, put the baby in her lap and attempt to run over police officers while fleeing the scene of her crime.
— 🇺🇸El Greco (Ο Γραικός)🇬🇷 (@GrecoAmerican1) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida I agree. There is no justification for that mother endangering that childs life. She should be charged to the fullest. What kind of mother would do that? Sad.
— Mike Mossey (@Mikemossey) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida I guess not shoplifting, not using your baby in your lap in the driver's seat as a human shield, and not trying to run over cops is just to hard for Mother of the Year, here.
— Amalie Laurent (@AmalieLaurent) October 24, 2026
@RepRashida Your selective morality is pathetic.
— TheKnowsNose (@cyranosgazette) October 24, 2026
I completely agree that there needs to be accountability in this case. I just disagree with Tlaib on who should be held accountable. Criminals, stop trying to run down law enforcement with your vehicles, and Democrats, stop siding with the criminals who try to run down law enforcement with their vehicles.
Just last month, Tlaib claimed ICE had killed another man. "ICE pursued him in an unmarked car, causing a fatal car crash," she posted. Actually, ICE called off the pursuit of illegal alien Mario David Coronado Juarez in the interest of public safety. They estimated Juarez was traveling at about 100 mph when he wrapped his car around a tree and it caught on fire. Tlaib's reaction? "These killings have to stop. #AbolishICE."
I trust body cameras over anything Tlaib posts.
