Nope. Trying to protect her pension/benefits.

You don’t know that to be true.

Do you really think her resignation shows remorse?

It is only a couple of sentences. One of them starts, “I have loved every minute of being a police officer and serving this community to the best of my ability” - yet four days ago in some of her last minutes as a police officer the best of her ability was drawing a Glock instead a taser and gunning down a 20 year old kid whose only crime was a probation violation.

For the record, even her use of the taser, if it had been a taser, would have been entirely improper. Officers are trained not to direct the taser at the upper body/chest area because they can and has in many instances caused fatal heart arrhythmia. Furthermore it is policy in most departments to not taser motor vehicle operators because of the great potential for harm with a running vehicle in the mix. Finally, is it not warranted to use potentially deadly force - which a taser aimed at the upper chest most certainly is - on someone who is merely wanted on a misdemeanor FTA warrant.

This whole situation, with her in charge as the field training officer, was a hot mess from the word go and it has resulted not only in the senseless death of one citizen, but in the devastation of the wider community she was meant to be SERVING and PROTECTING. That was the best of her ability? She loved every minute of it? She can’t even bring competence to the act of writing a resignation letter.

-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?

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).

Aren’t you smart? Clearly there either wasn’t a plate reader in the squad car in this situation, or the car was his mother’s. They didn’t learn he had an outstanding warrant until they took his ID back to the squad car and ran it there.

Regardless, the 3 police officers in the video were placing him under arrest due to an outstanding warrant for a rather serious reason. And, he resisted and was actively fleeing.

This doesn’t seem racially motivated at all.

Thank you for this point, which should be abundantly obvious to anyone capable of rational thought.

I should add that I very much hope she is convicted of manslaughter and serves every one of the ten years maximum term, but my quarter century in the system leaves me with the certainty that she is likely to not be convicted, and even if she is, to serve a piddling sentence just like Oscar Grant's killer did.

Will she also be sued by the victim’s family? Not only should she not benefit from her pension but it would be nice to keep her forever tied up in court, spending money on legal fees and not letting her “walk”.

Cops generally get to keep their pension unless they commit treason or some other crazy offense. I consider what she did to be law enforcement malpractice, not criminal behavior. We don’t arrest doctors for messing up a surgery that he has been trained to do if it results in death....

Rather serious? He failed to appear in court on a permit ... <$500 fine and the court never notified him so his warrant wasn’t his fault.

What’s your point? He knew he was arrested and resisted, creating a dangerous situation and an obvious need to use force. The only thing this officer seemed to do wrong was mistakenly use the wrong level of force.

I just don’t see the criminal intent or criminal behavior on the part of the police officer. A terrible and tragic mistake, yes. In no other profession would someone be held to these same standards. A infantryman accidentally shooting another soldier (it’s called friendly fire), a driver stepping on the gas instead of the brake and hitting a pedestrian (it’s called an unfortunate accident), a paramedic, doctor or EMT not doing something correctly (it’s called a mistake or malpractice), but with a cop, it’s automatically criminal...

It's obviously not true, for multiple reasons. In Minnesota, police officers do not lose their pension if they're fired for cause. And even if they did, resigning before being fired would not work to keep it.

He slept at a girls house and left with no money... some armed robbery.

No they don’t need to use any force for a <$500 fine and a warrant that was a court administrative mistake.

But wasn’t the $500 fine related to Daunte allegedly having an unlicensed firearm that was found in, wait for it......the floor of a car? That doesn’t resinate with you?
