Why would there be words of comfort to the family. This was a resignation letter to her employer, not an apology or sympathy letter to the family. It would have been inappropriate (and likely legally unadvisable) to express any remorse.

This kind of attitude is a big problem in our society. Interestingly studies have been done of the litigiousness of victims of medical malpractice. It’s been clearly established that a forthright and sincere apology from the negligent medical provider would forestall legal action in a great many cases.

Lawyers are a scourge. (I am a lawyer, for the record.)

As a lawyer, would you have advised Daunte Wright to write a forthright and sincere apology before any legal proceedings when he robbed that young woman at gun point?

A 26-year-old veteran of the police department shot Daunte Wright. Either she is completely inept or she meant to shoot him. We can all see from the video she claimed to have a taser in their hand. Well, given she had 26 years of experience she must be inept. Meant it or not she pulled that trigger. She was not a rookie, or new, or even untrained. She clearly should not have been patroling and in such a stressful job.

She worked on the streets for 26 years and we haven’t heard anything about her having any prior complaints or problems. To the contrary, it says that even a competent and experienced officer can make a mistake in the heat of the moment.

In those previous 26 years, she didn't kill someone without cause. Now she has, thus the charges.

There has to be a way that this killer cop never sees a dime of her pension or that she has to give it to the victim’s family.

She deserves her day in court. I’d like to hear all the evidence.

The video is public, all that gets added is excuses crafted by defense attorneys

To be fair, I would think the rule is that the gun should be on your non-dominant side and the taser on your dominant. Non-lethal should be your automatic instinct, whereas lethal should require more forethought. In the heat of a moment where you are acting on instinct, you are going to be much more automatically drawn to use your dominant hand without thinking. These are split second actions based on muscle memory and instinct.

Reading through this whole thread is making me wonder if justice actually means vengeance.

Agree. We have lost sight of justice in its original form.

Full disclosure: I’ve only read one article and watched the video.

Questions:

-Did she and the other officers know they were arresting someone with an outstanding bench warrant?

-Did she know what the warrant was for?

-Doesn’t the fact that he was not only resisting arrest but actively fleeing warrant use of force such as a taser?

-Assuming that drawing the gun instead of the taser was a terrible mistake rather than her intended choice of weapon, why is this incident being labeled as fueled by racism? What would a black officer have done in that situation where someone resists and attempts to flee an arrest for an outstanding warrant (not a warrant for unpaid tickets, but for something serious as was the case here)? Taser him, correct?

That works in this scenario.

But how does that work when a police officer encounters someone holding a gun or attacking him?

That’s the way the us system works, we have sentences banned in the rest of the developed world and treat prisoners in ways other developed nations bee as human rights violations

-Assuming that drawing the gun instead of the taser was a terrible mistake rather than her intended choice of weapon, why is this incident being labeled as fueled by racism? Because that's how it's done now.

Here’s what you do if you get pulled over: Turn the engine off. Roll all the windows down. Put the interior lights on. Put your hands on top of the steering wheel. Follow instructions.

You will live to see tomorrow and the police officer will likely let you go without a ticket because you thought about their safety. It’s not rocket science.

Automatic license plate readers are extremely common on Police cruisers across the USA.

They scan EVERY license plate the cruiser passes (yes - your car too. Every time).

Registrations linked to outstanding criminal warrants appear automatically on the laptop present in every cruiser (yes, they have those too. Have for years).
