This is going to be unpopular, I’m going to get downvoted into oblivion, I don’t care. All the facts aren’t out yet, a one minute video doesn’t really say a whole lot. There were multiple failures made by the officers on scene, doing a piss poor job to effect an arrest, Wright picked up on this ineptitude and pulled the officer’s card, making an attempt to flee. A folly of errors made by the cops and the criminal.
Now, for my armchair quarterback 2 cents, I don’t think less lethal tools to effect an arrest, should be trigger actuated, training scars, muscle memory, etc., when the SHTF, tunnel vision kicks in and depending of your level of stress inoculation, depends how you address the threat in front of you, survival mode kicks in, people get tunnel vision.
Was she some diversity hire retard? Possibly. Did she intend to use her taser? Man, I was a 100% convinced. Should she have even used the taser even in that situation? Probably not, someone getting taser behind the wheel could have just as easily got someone killed.
But here is where this is where it gets murky. Was she afraid for her life at that time? Was she afraid for the life of the officers there? It doesn’t matter what she meant to use, the use of deadly force can be justified. A 5,000 pound vehicle is quite a lethal implement. Just ask that now deceased Uber Eats guy that went for a ride after being car jacked. Could the lethal for be justified? Absolutely. Could everyone there be culpable and negligent. Absolutely. Everyone had a part to play, and it went to shit. This cop had a sympathetic response to the threat in front of her and acted. Could this split second decision been handled better? Sure. It’s real hard to gauge these things after the fact.
I am not saying what was done was right or wrong, but a 1 minute video and a media description of what too place before and after isn’t very helpful to make any definitive decisions.
A thing I don't get is the other two male officers just heard a gunshot, A Gunshot. Neither of them have drawn their weapon? They are just standing there with stupid faces... Has any of them ANY training?

I’m gonna write you a ticket! bang bang bang
Blue liners: “there were training scars and we haven’t seen 8 hours of footage yet...”
