[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is horrible we all know this.

The officer involved is a 26 year veteran. One would think she would know the difference between her taser and her gun. A gun weighs more. It would have felt very different to her even in the heat of the moment.

I highly doubt the officer woke up this morning deciding to kill someone. She needed better training and this is negligent manslaughter.  A "senior" member of the department should know the difference between a gun and a taser.

Whatever this man did prior to getting killed is not the issue. Anyone who thinks so is wrong.  [/quote]

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.  Second degree manslaughter in Minnesota still requires a conscious decision to take an unreasonable risk.  What was that conscious decision?  You seem to agree that the video suggests she thought she pulled out her taser.

I'm sure the officer can tell the difference between a taser and a gun.  But any time you're put in a stressful and potentially dangerous situation, there's going to be a risk of making a mistake.  That's what seemed to happen here.  That doesn't make it OK.  But it doesn't necessarily make her criminally responsible for a homicide, either.[/quote]

There is enough for you probable cause. I’d like to see her arrested and forced to go through the process at the very least. [/quote]
