Mississippi Attorney General Rules Police Shooting of 1-Year-Old Kohen Wiley as Justified

In a controversial ruling, the Mississippi Attorney General has determined that the police use of force resulting in the fatal shooting of one-year-old Kohen Wiley was justified. The incident occurred outside a Walmart in Senatobia during a response to an alleged shoplifting case. The AG stated that the officer acted within the law, and therefore, will not face any criminal charges. This decision has sparked public outcry, particularly from activists and family members who dispute the findings and demand accountability and transparency regarding the circumstances of the shooting.
