In a continuation of the ongoing police scandals rocking the New York City Police Department, three-month old infant Layla Smith has been pronounced dead following an August sixth incident. This closely follows the July seventeenth death of NYC resident Eric Garner after the use of a prohibited choke hold by officers against him. Garners death was ruled a homicide by the NYC medical examiners office.
Suzanne Smith, Layla’s mother, had been sitting on a bench in Queens waiting for the bus when Layla began to insistently cry. Knowing that her baby was hungry Ms. Smith began to breastfeed her daughter. Witnesses at the scene report that she was then approached by a NYPD Officer, later identified as Michael Fitzsimmons, who requested that she stop feeding the baby in public as it was “indecent”. Ms. Smith refused to comply with the directive and told Officer Fitzsimmons that she wasn’t doing anything illegal. Officer Fitzsimmons again insisted that she stop and threatened to arrest her for indecent exposure. Ms. Smith calmly responded to the Officer that he could not arrest her because breastfeeding in public wasn’t against the law.
“He got so mad at her”, said Tyrone Webb, who witnessed the unfortunate altercation. “He started yelling at her, saying that he was the police, and that she didn’t know s**t about what was against the law. He got all red in the face, pointing his finger right at her nose. She just sat there and kept feeding the baby calm as could be, being real polite and reasonable. Someone else tried to chime in and tell him he was wrong and he told the lady to shut up and mind her business.”

So the baby girl ordered mom to stop breastfeeding? Is that why the cop shot the baby?
Or does the headline writer mean to say something else?
“The NYC Police Department has issued a statement expressing their concern regarding this “unfortunate” event and states that all citizens must comply with orders to submit to arrest peacefully so that accidental injuries can be avoided. “
Um, no. FOAD thugs.
I suspect he will go away for a long time for that one.
At least, one hopes...
And the sleaze is on “paid leave”. And the residents of NY are not rioting. If ever a situation called for a riot...
What a sad, sad story. If only the mom and baby were black, so Eric Holder might care about the killing of the unarmed infant.
Fitzsimmons character is a real POS - I have no doubt the witness’s are correct as there are too many people power tripping like him out there. He should lose his career but likely won’t. These people are turning into the blue caps from the Soviet Union I read about in the Gulag Archipelago.
Believe this is satire Laz - has keywords at the bottom noting such, and found this -
Roid-rage.
Very sad.
If that’s true, then the cop is guilty of (at least) involuntary manslaughter.
No matter what, the cop needs to be in jail. For years.
FYI everyone, this story is a hoax, the website that initially published it is a “satirical” website.
Satire alert!
Satire website. You guys have been PWN3D!!!!!
If the story is accurate, this cop needs to be convicted of capital murder, and then executed.
I suspect the story is a hoax. Any real confirmation? I just refuse to believe a cop could be *that* egregiously stupid. I mean I know some of them are stupid, but that’s 1880’s deputized hillbilly stupid.
Hopefully, this is the worst story of police brutality in 2014. No one is safe from these mad dog cops. Viciously attacking a mother and her baby is as low a form of savagery as we see by the lawless Iraqi State thugs, who also kill women and babies. Why hasn’t this story made the news.... because the victims weren’t Black?
““He started yelling at her, saying that he was the police, and that she didn’t know s**t about what was against the law. He got all red in the face, pointing his finger right at her nose. She just sat there and kept feeding the baby calm as could be, being real polite and reasonable. Someone else tried to chime in and tell him he was wrong and he told the lady to shut up and mind her business.”
Really? In this day and age a cop is gonna behave that way?
And the witness states “She just sat there and kept feeding the baby calm as could be, being real polite and reasonable.”
I find that witnesses account to be a LITTLE hard to believe.
So how did the baby die — don’t leave us in suspense.
