@magnolia.voices: Justice for Kohen Wiley. 💔 On June 14, 2026, 1-year-old Kohen Kartier Wiley was fatally shot by a police officer responding to a shoplifting call at a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi. Despite calls for justice and community outrage, state officials ruled the shooting “justified” following an MBI investigation. A young life lost far too soon. Cases like this remind us that executive decision-makers directly shape how legal accountability and law enforcement standards work in our communities. In Mississippi, the Attorney General is an elected position, meaning voters directly choose the chief legal officer who sets policies on state reviews and law enforcement investigations. This is why participating in elections matters now more than ever. Beyond state-level legal officers, Federal representatives—like members of the U.S. Senate—vote on federal judges, civil rights protections, and national justice system oversight. Endorsing leadership like Scott Colom for U.S. Senate brings prosecutors with hands-on legal experience into broader decision-making roles.
