Daisha Smalls says her 1-year-old son, Legend, is still recovering in a pediatric ICU after he was hit by police gunfire as officers confronted an armed robbery suspect at a Houston gas station earlier this month.

Mother Of 1-Year-Old Hit By Police Gunfire: ‘My Son Didn’t Deserve This’ | NBC Nightly News
No update no outrage?
The fact that the cop hit anything other than the suspect is proof he should not have been shooting. Even if he didn't see the child, which he should have assumed might be there, he could have just as easily killed the mother. You have to wonder if he would have been this reckless with a white woman's life.
How did they sleep thus baby killer's
This is no accident police officers are criminals with badges, they don't care if somebody is there, cause they have qualified immunity nothing happen to police.
This is the definition of being at the wrong place at the wrong time
Fauci predicted this outbreak virus four years ago
Fauci predicted this https://youtu.be/puqaaeLnEww
Legend is a fighter he will come thru it ðŸ™ÂÂ
What a shame. God bless
OMG hope he’s doing fine and hope that police officer to be in the JAIL by now
I'm just going to say it, people have to be thinking it too. Ben Crump seems like a money chasing opportunist. Seems like wherever he can find a camera to get in front of, you'll find him there pulling his pocket full race cards despite the fact black kids are getting hit by gang banger gun fire in this country EVERY day but we never see him there or any camera from any national media if you haven't noticed. That truly bothers me and I know I'm not alone in that. It's almost like it's just swepped under the rug in favor of anti-police ongoing narrative that is infecting brains in the same way Donald Trump fueled extremists. Only these extremists seem to be more deadly. Look at what is going on in American cities right now. Crime is out of control but the media isn't going to go there…. Interesting.
If you’re an adult male would you like to be shot! Robbing someone does not deserve the judgement of death.
The officer is Not a judge. That’s what courts are for, death penalty has been banned in Western countries like Canada.
The officer is illegally acting out of his training, he is not a judge. If someone gets away with a robbery so be it, let detectives investigate and get the robber at a future date and time
He looks so cute
I hope that beautiful baby recovers.
Ahh… the lovely Ben Crump! 🙄
Say "I'm going to get paid 3 times and he appears ðŸ˜ÂÂ
Prayers to this family and this little one. I also pray for understanding on everyone. I am sure the officer did not intend to hurt this little life.
Smh poor baby prayers sweet heart
Shes probably suing for millions of dollars which the baby is probably worth the bad part is money wont fix what happenednor prevent it from happening again.
There is no words that address this. Any parent would rather give up their life for their child. The suspect didnt shoot the child, an officer did and opps my had isnt cutting this. It should not happen
Why are the cops faces blurred out???? Name them all, fire them all, arrest them all!!! JUSTICE FOR LEGEND!!!! 🚫👮ðŸÂ¼🚫
Mo Money gonna be dished out$, but at 'what cost?'
I hope the baby is fine
Do t waste a minute file in for that money we know that fixes everything
Oh she will be fine when she gets the check
Know your target and what lies beyond doesn’t matter.
I publish an extract from the journal "Il Giorno" of February 7, 2021, concerning the anticovid therapeutic initiative developed by some doctors in Milan, whom I only vaguely knew and discovered only after a comment on my post:
“Milan – A therapeutic scheme for home care. The goal is to fight the coronavirus, save lives and relieve hospitals. The protocol was developed by the doctors of the “Covid 19 Home Care Committeeâ€ÂÂ, made up of general practitioners and specialists. Since last March they have created a real network for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, which has helped hundreds of people, starting from a chat of Lombard doctors. The professionals have developed a home therapeutic scheme for the treatment of the virus, which has allowed them to treat thousands of people, avoiding (if not in rare cases) hospitalization and deaths … ".
I also renew the report of the "Ippocrate.org" site, which gathers several family doctors who have formed an association for anticovid home care, I don't know if in perfect harmony with the drugs used by Lombard doctors, but certainly with the same important recommendation on the timeliness of treatment.
I believe that getting to know these two associations, which can also be contacted remotely, could be of help to many people, even in other countries.
After the change of management of AIFA, the reports of these doctors, as I highlighted in a previous comment on Dr. Palù, were finally heard and communicated to the public also from that Bureau.
I wonder if that officer going to jail like the two officers in Louisiana
How else would it end? Man drives off into sunset with new son? Tosses child out at first chance? Who knows…
The suspect was trying to carjack a car in a gas station the police must of known the car had occupants because that was not a self driving car…
She went to buy scratch tickets and just hit the lottery. Already lawyered up to get that city check. White people don't do this.
The suspect it of ran track
This is so sad…god speed to that little angel ♥ï¸ÂÂ♥ï¸ÂÂ♥ï¸ÂÂ♥ï¸ÂÂ♥ï¸ÂÂ
Get up ledgen stay here on earth
This is not ok on any level!
These clowns actually believe down to the core that they are allowed to do anything they choose… 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Wtf?? Of course they didn’t see the baby, this is why they shouldn’t of been shooting their weapons! B/C THEY don’t know
Blame your people for your baby getting shot
That police should be in jail, it shows u how fast they are to recklessly fire there weapon with no regard for anyone who's around, at the very least he has no bizness being a cop and no one can say he feared for the citizens, because he shot so fast that he didn't know or care who was in the line of fire, these are the things that happen when u shoot people because there getting away
