Did he have multiple open warrants os is robbing and choking someone at gunpoint a misdemeanor?

It doesn’t matter what the warrant was for, cops are not supposed to murder guilty people OR innocent people. Those cops had only the information that the warrant was for gross misdemeanor failure to appear. They didn’t have all the information in that article you posted.

The police had no reason to suspect he was armed, and protocol was violated in multiple ways. She was not even supposed to be tasing him, that was also a violation of protocol against tasing people in vehicles.

Finally, our entire criminal justice system is supposed to be built on the concept of REHABILITATION. The notion that people can change over time. As someone who worked in the system for a quarter century, I’ve seen far more stories of redemption than I’ve seen recidivism, especially in younger people whose frontal lobes that govern impulsivity are still developing. So this young man once did a very shitty thing - that’s not great, to be sure. But it is going on four years later and he is now a father and his life is on a different trajectory. And he’s murdered over expired tags (when the Minnesota DMV is many months behind processing renewal registrations) and a warrant for a misdemeanor failure to appear? That is F’d up. Period.[/quote]

So we should rehabilitate criminals by allowing them to flee and continue committing crimes? How much time has the guy served or how much restitution did he make for the crimes he committed?[/quote]
