Please resist the urge to armchair quarterback. Watch the police body cam footage. The police had a matter of seconds to act.

Confusing a taser with a pistol is not difficult when you are pumping adrenaline and rushed. They are both shaped the same with a pistol grip and a trigger and live on the police's utility belts along side each other.

Who is the moron that designed a stun gun to look/feel like a pistol and then place it near the actual pistol? That is an accident waiting to happen.

OR they realized this was a good shoot; felon with a gun resisting. Chauvin jury is not sequestered, start the burning early, they wont factor that in their decision. Just my theory..

He should not have resisted.

She should not be a cop and she should be held criminally liable.

Inability to handle the stress of the situation and not enough practice/training to create the proper muscle memory. I’ve seen videos of LE under stress just rack rounds in a shotgun over and over until it is empty and not fire a single shot.

Didn't seem that stressful, 3 officers, 1 perp, after cooperating he resisted, should have been like any other day for the officers..

I think the shoot was good (felon resisting with gun in proximity) and she did it to get the burning started, jury will not factor that in the Chauvin trial decision..

Or she could have just fucked up, I cannot find any stats on officers mistaking their weapon for a taser, hard to tell.

Same way you choke trying to operate handcuffs.

Yeah, wtf is up with that.. Needed him to resist for the shoot to be good.. now the city is burning, jury can give Chauvin a fair verdict, removes this factor from their decision..
