Sounds more like Daunte killed himself by creating the risk when he committed a crime and attempted to evade arrest, necessitating the officers to draw their weapons.
Duante creating an unsafe situation doesn't negate the cop pulling out and using a gun instead of a taser. It's tragic. Wright is not "in the right" here and he's not innocent. But his stupidity doesn't absolve the officer of the mistake she made. The mistake is obvious too as she is essentially narrating what she believes are her actions (to taze a suspect) before realizing she pulled the wrong tool from her belt.
A gun would have been justified. She meant to draw a taser, so what? The mistake achieved the same result of stopping a woman-abusing criminal from escaping to terrorize more women.
If I'm on that jury and then it's going to be a not-guilty from me.
