Baby Girl Killed By NYPD Cop After Illegally Ordering Mom To Stop Breastfeeding [HOAX]
Political Ears ^ | Aug 8 2014

Posted on 08/13/2014 8:22:47 AM PDT by Lazamataz

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.”

Problem is, cops have gotten so bad, that satire is hard to recognize any more.

Therefore, I hereby award the Dan Rather "Fake But Accurate" award on this article.

Yep, it was supposed to be some sort of sick satire, and the site's owner is completely unrepentant. What a loser!

let’s not let this stop railing against a bad cop that doesn’t exist.

Bad cops that do not exist are the very worst kind.

They are impossible to fire or prosecute.

“...Believe this is satire ..”

And that, right there, is the WHOLE problem right now.

We’re at a point where it’s utterly believable in our time.

Poor, poor satire, since the described scenario is entirely believable with all the loose cannon, dog shooting, home invading LEOs running around these days.

Yeah, it's gotten to the point that perfectly believable stories must be checked for satirical roots.

Pretty soon, there will be a satire story titled, "Obama decides to go around congress."

it is legal in NYS for women to proceed in public top free. Rochester was the root of this battle in the late 80's from a group called the "top free 7"

I had hoped in my youth this would be a boon to the bar scene - disappointingly is turned out to be utilized by fat women at the local festivals....I was crestfallen

This story though enrages me he should be charged with criminally negligent homicide

No wiping needed. This is too believable in today’s Hobnail Boot society, so this isn’t your fault. This is simply bad satire. Good satire must be unlikely to occur; this is likely to occur in today’s Police State world.

This is a completely invented story.

Satire is supposed to provide some new way of looking at an issue and is often comical.

This isn't satire. It's just a lie.
