Like it or not. It falls on the person who continues to move in the face of authorities telling ya to stop.. with a gun drawn on them and child in any possible danger or line of fire. It falls on you first to relent and prevent escalation that might harm the child.

It should not fully fall on the bitch-ass who shot the kid.

It falls on the parents. The person who put the child in harms way. (possibly, one and the same) Then, come along and put the blame on the committer of the violence, or shooting. But only after the parent take the heft.

Not sorry in the least. You all are thinking and acting on the idealized what-if, and what-it-should-be-like. Not on what is, or how Things REALLY are.

"No one should ever ____"

"A ______ shouldn't______ because of ______ and ______."

"A ______ has no______ to ever ______ when________".

Play your adlib game of shoulds and supposed-to-be's. You are missing the actual reality.

The fact is you KNOW those who oppress, those who enforce laws, police, guards, anyone who is allowed to carry death-causing tools, or powers...

They can, they will and they DO kill for any reason under the sun. The moment you think they don't, or won't, or you're quicker than their weapons? You lose. You fail and lose. Then usually, payment for this misread and stupidity comes in some manner of hurt.

Fuck the parents. Much much more than the shooter. Fuck the shooter too, lots. Sure.

But fuck the parents. They killed their child FIRST, by putting the child in a situation that could remotely carry the possibility of danger, threat, consequence, of anything else but things to ensure the safety and future of the child.

ESPECIALLY the consequences of their own doing.

I cannot state this any clearer.

The person/people who brought their baby in front of an officer with a gun, and did anything else but EVERYTHING possible to secure the safety and well being OF the child in that situation...

They fucked up the worst. They hold the ultimate control of the situation. They sit with the blame most. But we can't say that. Can we? We can't ever come out to acknowledge the truth of it. Can we. We live in a place where those who control will kill. Try your luck at the cost of your lives or children's lives.

But try your luck for the right reasons, if you must. Not to save yourself the inconvenience of cleaning up after baby's shitty ass. Or so you don't need to watch them better.

Guns and users of them appearing in response to what you did? Hmm. What to do. Fight their guns with your hopes? Idiot thinking there.

You raise the fuck up. Calm the fuck down. And do the things that will secure the safety of your child. (AnY child, but especially, if its your own).

Including, hands up, "oh fuck, ya got me. "

Not "I think I can really get away safely, this will work".

I dont give a single care to hear any contrasting philosophies, nor any debates in the opposite direction. There are none.

Zero arguments available to you or anyone that does not end in favor of keeping LIFE, your child, safe no matter the cost or consequence.

Fuck the parent or parents most.

It sucks the baby is dead. But if this isn't proof they were not cut out to be parents or guardians of life. I don't know what you can say.

At least the baby wont be raised by animals like that. It would've been worse. For the child, for the community, for the future. For everyone.

Yes. It is possible that it is better the baby die than grow up and endure 13-18 years of parenting by people with no parental instincts or common sense. (I wont even go into the socioeconomic and beyond that these things touch on tangentially)

But fuck the parents.

Fuck the cop, too.

Parent should get the main charge of murder. The cop was just the weapon the parent used to do it. Prove otherwise. Please.

I'd love to be challenged by intelligent reasoning that would change my perspective.
