according to Surprise police.
I know it's the city name, but damn it.
If they don't yell "surprise police!" every time they knock on a door, they're wasting their lives.
Baby shot in, surprise, Arizona
NO ONE expects . . .
The key to victory is the element of surprise.
SURPRISE!
Mother fucker!
Thrift store's Spanish inquisition.
Their captain? Jack Aubrey.
SurpriiiiBLAM BLAM BLAM!
....
He resisted!
Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Our TWO chief weapons...
What about their fanatical devotion to the pope?
Shit is gonna get a TV show now
Already had one.
the man shot his kid, not the cops? Big if true.
I'm sitting in the pediatric ICU with my 1-month old child. Yesterday, she went into respiratory arrest and they called a code blue on her. I thought she was dying in my arms, and I'm still shaking with fear, although she's doing better. I CANNOT FATHOM any father putting their child into such harm. I hope, with all my heart, the child recovers fully, and the father died (or dies) slowly, screaming.
my friend, having been in the PICU when our child had a luckily fairly mild issue, the people that work there are heroes. Lean on those you love. I wish you the best.
It remains unclear how the fire started or what condition the father is in. According to police, an investigation remains under way and the father is not in custody.
Seriously?
I'm assuming he's not in custody because he's in the hospital. There's no way they're letting this guy get away; in an increasingly polarized society, few things bring everyone together more than being anti-shooting-a-fucking-baby
Dogs and babies. That's about peak FAFO territory.
Well, people still tie dogs to trees for their entire lifetimes in the area i live in. Though, it's not uncommon for these fucks to also have another dog that lives inside the house. I'm not sure they care that much about their children, either...
The surprise police are still trying to figure out what story to tell.
“Once the [tactical units] get the clearance to go into that residence, we might have an update on him,” Hernandez said.
Sounds like they don't think he left the burning house with the collapsed roof. If that's the case, there's a good chance that he's dead.
Must have been one wild escape attempt then
How in the hell is that baby still alive after being shot multiple times? That's amazing enough for an adult but a baby is so compact and fragile comparatively. That's pretty incredible from a physiological perspective.
Small caliber low power bullets can be deadly or cause minor wounds depending on whether they hit anything important.
I'm still surprised a baby survived multiple, since they have a lot less important parts like major muscles.
With how they are small I can't imagine landing two shots without dealing a lethal damage. In a flat 2d projection, like a target on a shooting range, an adult have, say, an area for 300 shots total, while a baby has like 50. They are very lucky.
Babies are both very fragile and very resilient. For example, bones don't start hardening and fusing for several years, so they can take a lot of bumps and such. I haven't read the article, but it's possible that the wounds were just grazing.
The uh..... The headline, man.
What a fucking title. I guess that's the best we can expect from the guardian.
People wouldn't click on it if it didn't infer the police did the shooting, right?
The term police or cops wasnt even mentioned in the title, it was our own biases that brought them into it.
Yeah. But they knew. This kind of implication is an art form these days.
Or maybe the thumbnail showing yellow tape with the word police had something to do with it.
*imply
Yeah, my words aren't always the best.
What the hell was this bastard's endgame here? Was he deranged, on drugs, mentally ill, or irrationally angry at the woman? What a fucking disaster.
First off all, don't blame the guns okay? The make new children every day
and surely none of this would have happened if the baby had been properly armed
I assume the baby survived by potentially being permanently disarmed and dislegged.
And this is why it’s:
ACAB + Mental Healthcare For all
EDIT: didn’t read the article, just started screaming. Embarrassing.
Try reading the article.
The article titled is honestly terrible and implies the police shot the baby multiple times. There are enough bad things cops do without making it look like they did things they didn't do.
I knew it was the father from the headline (due to my own bias). We should all be aware of our biases and take these misunderstandings as a learning opportunity.
How embarrassing
... Surprise!!
Gut-wrenching, the craziness is getting too close
