The Masses reported on a recent case of Yankee imperialist “law & order” – the murder of a one year old baby from a black family by the police, and how the butchers were declared “innocent.” In June, the baby in question was sitting on the lap of his mother, whose car was stopped on the suspicion of her having shoplifted a pack of diapers. The baby’s mother was holding him up for the police to see when one cop started shooting the car from the side, murdering the baby and wounding another passenger.

During the court process the police made various attempts to twist the facts, such as claiming without any evidence that the mother was speeding towards the cops. In the end, US “justice” – embodied in this case by Attorney General Lynn Fitch – maintains that the cops were “afraid” and thus “justified” to shoot. This happened amidst the ongoing ICE attacks and murders, with yet another brutal and arbitrary case of murder and mockery of justice by the US State.
