I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion....
Bad weapon discipline and bad trigger discipline is a jailable offense more often than not.
As a civilian I'd absolutely go to jail for this.
It's tragic and maybe the judge will consider the fact that it's clearly an accident in sentencing, but when you screw up this bad, the responsible gun owners don't have to pretend this is cool.
Well you wouldn't be trying to apprehend a resisting person with a warrant for violent crimes?
Trigger discipline has nothing to do with it. Poor training does, she thought she was firing a tazer at the douchebag, her trigger discipline seems fine as she pulled the trigger as intended. Her poor training and inability to tell the difference between her loaded firearm and a taser is the only thing she is guilty of.
You know how it would not have happened in the first place? If he didn't resist arrest.
Well, it's only costly because of the riots allowed by our pussy politicians.
The loss of the criminal who thought it was a good idea to choke a woman while robbing her at gunpoint, and then flee an arrest? That's not very costly at all. In fact, I'd say his coffin employing the people who make it is about as productive as he's ever been.
i wont downvote you. but i will say that as a citizen you are not required to approach criminals muliple times on a daily basis.... and something like this is bound to happen she just got flipper hands.
If she would have just tried to steal his car, wreck it killing him in the process, then she would have just gotten probation like those to dindu cunts.
Civilians will never find themselves in this predicament. Minnesota statute on manslaughter says “...and consciously causes the death or great bodily harm.” Did she consciously fire her pistol? Should we charge health professionals with manslaughter if they accidentally administer the wrong drugs and cause the death of a patient?
I'm curious, they say she is a 20+ year veteran of the department, but was she a patrol/street/arresting officer or was she one of the background/admin officers they likely dragged into active policing because they lost so many officers?
If the latter, that's a pretty fucked up situation to put someone in and then throw them under the bus when the inevitable happens.
I expect this is highly likely, as I find it hard to believe that a 20 year vet would mistake taser for firearm. They also should not have to make that call. I get less than lethal arms when you are going into a crowd control situation, but street cops on duty are putting their lives at increased risk and I am fine with them carrying only lethal force.
With the gutting of police forces and officers quitting for not wanting to be the next youtube star, I expect there are a lot of cops on the street now that are not trained for the job they are doing. Also with the lowering of standards to allow for 'muh diversity' shit like this will happen more often.
Actually she was the training officer. The problem started with the new black officer she had doing the actual arrest. He was clumsy and inept trying to put the cuffs on. Should have close the car door after removing the suspect. Then before the 1st officer still hadn't got the cuffs on. The second male officer walked up, and stupidly told Wright that he also had a warrant ! That when Wright broke away from an officer twice as big as him. A new officer that didn't have him under control. With two officers trying now get him out of the car she went to back them up, and apparently got tunnel vision. I know I'm Monday morning quarterbacking, but that's what happens when a department has 150 officers leave in a year, and your department has inexperienced new hires.
You wouldn't believe how lame most police training is, and you wouldn't believe how much even that low quality of training has been compromised in the last 15 years during the effort to shoehorn women and minorities onto municipal PDs.
Wasn't a bad shoot at all if she would have kept shut her mouth, her life is ruined over a useless felon thug, warrants, known to be armed, resisting. fucking tragic..
Actually using a handgun, and then remaining silent wouldn't have made it right. He hadn't used the car as a weapon, a gun wasn't seen, and the officer's had no reason to fear a life threatening situation. The second officer should have been assisting the inexperienced new officer, but they likely wanted to see how he could manage himself. So it was a training exercise. Clearly that first officer failed badly.
In the 1960's a IQ test was done nationally. It hasn't change much, and still stands. Whites tested out at about 105 at average, and blacks at about 85. Of course there are those in both groups much lower then average. The same results are also in that range in cognitive scores. The testers also said that they don't "believe" the scores are related to DNA. But then almost all blacks in the US have some degree of white DNA, and the average IQ in African Countries is in the 68 range with a couple in the low 70's. There has to be a reason why when faced with traffic violation someone's brain tells them the smart response is to fight, and run (or kill) as a resolution to their problem ?
Don’t care if you’re a cop who has dealt with scum on the daily or a veteran who’s seen some shit, if you fuck up as bad as she did you serve the time. Equal justice under the law.
the way the riots are. i doubt shes even at her house. resigned or not she was tasked with a job where she is mandated to insert herself in to high risk high stress situations. And she seems to truly feel like shit. She resigned and apprently will be facing the charges against her. It will go from 2nd degree to involuntary .

I'm not arguing that. But firing a pistol after calling tazer is a major screw up.
We can't pretend that's not a screw up.
We should insist that it was a screw up and not malicious. The media is lying when they say it was intentional. But it's clearly a screw up.
I agree and that's why she will get convicted on manslaughter most likely.
A screw up for sure, a costly one no doubt.
Well, it's only costly because of the riots allowed by our pussy politicians.

Costly for the woman who will lose several years of her life for a screw up.

Its amazing the sympathy being blue gets you

anecdotally this seems likely.
i think she was an old street cop vet that was doing TO jobs for recruits.... which makes it even more sad...

This woman did nothing wrong !
She opened her mouth when she should have remained silent. It was not necessarily a bad shoot given the circumstances.
Wasn't a bad shoot at all if she would have kept shut her mouth, her life is ruined over a useless felon thug, warrants, known to be armed, resisting. fucking tragic..

Yall remember that Somali cop that shot that white woman who called the police. ... wasnt that also in Minnesota?
Yes.
something needs to be done about these violent noncompliant blacks. how can we have a society with millions of these people walking around

We cant
She did more to clean up her community, on accident, then every single pig that's been on BLM and antifa riot duty.
yeah they are. and it looks like much better weather than last couple nights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojxxF5KRhSs
Don’t care if you’re a cop who has dealt with scum on the daily or a veteran who’s seen some shit, if you fuck up as bad as she did you serve the time. Equal justice under the law.
she seems to be willing to do that....... she resigned and will face charges .. 2nd degree manslaughter i believe.
Which is fair. It SUCKS and I feel for her, but damn... what a huge mistake to make.
Would she have received more protection legally if she didn’t resign? Just curious
the way the riots are. i doubt shes even at her house. resigned or not she was tasked with a job where she is mandated to insert herself in to high risk high stress situations. And she seems to truly feel like shit. She resigned and apprently will be facing the charges against her. It will go from 2nd degree to involuntary .
I'm sure the NRA will stand up and defend her. Right?
Why would they? She’s the idiot who didn’t know which side her taser was on.
It was sarcasm.
And who was so redlined by panic in a stressful situation that she couldn't tell the difference in weight and balance between a taser and a semiauto.
