Chief of Police Tim Gannon has released footage of the officer involved shooting in Brooklyn Center, MN, where Daunte Wright was fatally shot. They admit this was an "accidental" discharge, as the officer meant to draw their taser, but used gun.

You can clearly hear her say “Taser, taser, taser”, then “oh shit... I just shot him”

4 takeaways:

  1. don’t resist arrest

  2. don’t resist especially if a female cop is on the scene

  3. @ all the “if she can’t tell the difference between a taser and a Glock” comments ... how about the fact cops typically run tasers in cross draw?

No matter what she intended to draw, she drew from her pistol-side hip, not the cross draw taser location.

Which leads me to:

  1. friendly reminder that official statements can be total BS

Wasn't there a study done that showed Female Cops more likely to shoot a suspect or make deadly force mistakes, than a male one?

per capita and per event its overwhelming that women officers will turn to deadly force ASAP, they are incapable in their roles and a gun is the equalizer. No woman should be in the police, fire, military, or even garbage pickup. They're fucking useless in physical capacity.
