Police are usually tried according to “reasonable police behavior in that situation”
It’s reasonable to expect police to differentiate between lethal and non lethal weapons 100% of the time. It’s a low-tier homicide crime and she needs to be fired, lose her retirement and do a little bit of time.
A person is dead because of her accident. And yeah, daunte should have listened, should have paid his warrant and not been a low level criminal. All true.
But what he deserved was a lightning bolt up his ass from a taser and a few new charges, not a death sentence. She still has to be held accountable.
This is refreshing. Someone who did the right thing. Due process is what everyone deserves.
EVERYONE.
That shooting was clearly an accident.
What's really fucking weird is one year ago, a female officer did the same exact thing, and literally said :
"Taser! Taser! Oh shit! I shot him!".
She literally did and said the SAME EXACT THING as what just happened!
I'll post a link if I can find it.
