Bodycam footage has been released on the police shooting last night in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Three police officers, one black man, one white man and one woman, stopped a vehicle being driven by 20-year-old Daunte Wright. Wright was wanted on an arrest warrant.

 

Initially Wright got out of his car, but then apparently changed his mind, fought with police officers, climbed back into his car and drove away. As the officers were struggling with Wright, the police woman attempted to tase him. Evidently she accidentally pulled out her gun rather than her taser and shot Wright with it.

 

It doesn’t appear that there was any racial angle in last night’s fatal encounter at all.

 

But that doesn't matter to the 'protesters', who need no real reason to break the law.

 

THAT is why last summer mattered.

 

 

 

I assume you're not defending the cops negligence but it somewhat reads that way.  I guess you're just pointing out that there wasn't a racial element to it but they protested/looted anyways.  We need more funding for training as it's pretty screwed up that a cop can't distinguish between a taser and a gun in the heat of a confrontation.

I agree with this...I would also suggest that the urban community also requires more training on how to act when pulled over...I have no doubt that 90% of police abuse or shootings could be avoided if they simply complied...unfortunate for the young man, but I never would have acted as he did...

 

“Its not about race...it’s about culture”

 

And right now, urban communities around the country embrace a criminal culture against each other, and disrespect for authority...

You should protest his behavior. 
 

Maybe get 50-100 of your friends, go to the city where he lives, burn down the local dunkin, toss some m80s at some locals, loot the local Walmart, target, flip some cars, stomp some others, and throw bricks and chunks of concrete at a couple elderly ladies if you can find some.  If you can, destroy the small businesses some industrious individuals started.  You know, keep it peaceful-ish. 

 

Just please, mask up, stop the spread because together we can do this.

As the new Summer collections and fashions are in the stores its a great time for looting.  Why not look you're best this Summer?

 

Sarcasm aside, the loud and clear message in the aftermath of these incidents is the government refuses to perform the most basic function of the social contract between its citizens and the government. And that is to maintain civilized order.  

 

I'll bet gun purchase and background check stats go through the roof during the second half of April when they're reported next month along with membership increases for militia groups.  Simple cause and effect.  People see these responses as a potential threat to their safety and respond to it.  And on another issue these rioting mobs provide gratuitous examples for the need of automatic weapons.    

 

As local, state, and federal officials everywhere have demonstrated they have no desire or will to maintain some semblance of social order the message is clear to businesses and residents of these communities along with the rest of the country.  You're on your own and they are not fit to govern.

Very well said. The contract between the governing and the governed is breaking down all over the place. You know this to be true when BOTH sides are equally outraged by a single incident.

This does not make any sense. Used her fire arm thinking it was her taser? Ok 

That’s why it’s a mistake. An unacceptable one, but errors do occur. Did you watch the video and listen to the audio? It’s pretty clear what happened. Do you think she’s lying about what happened?

What incident are both sides outraged about?

Due process is no more in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

by Andrea Widburg

 

 

On Sunday, a Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, police officer, while trying to taser Daunte Wright, who was violently resisting arrest, shot him instead. Within hours, the Minneapolis suburb, which is almost 30% black was threatening the police, rioting, and looting. That’s barely a headline nowadays. What was more interesting and, to born-and-raised American citizens, more disturbing, was the fact that, when Brooklyn Center’s city manager insisted that the police officer still gets the benefit of due process, the City Council promptly fired him.

This was the single most disturbing thing to me about the whole incident, after the obligatory rioting and the media activism during the police presser.

I obviously disagree with the rioting but this cop must be held liable with jail time based on the info I have seen. It might be manslaughter but her actions are why that guy is dead and her mistake is unacceptable, as a law enforcement you can't make a mistake of which weapon you are pulling.

So you mean she must receive due process? 
 

  Let’s not forget the individual decided to resist arrest while he was being cuffed. His actions led to her taking action. Did you watch the video with audio. Seems pretty clear her intent was to tase the suspect. Of course she should not continue as a Police officer and will probably be liable in a civil sense, but I don’t think she should be charged criminally.

Yes, it needs to go through the process but I am hoping this does not qualify for immunity. I am willing to change my mind if new info comes out but it seems straight forward.

Immunity from what? I don’t see criminal intent here but I don’t think she would be indemnified from civil penalty.
