That's a lot of word to repeat what I said.

He had a court date.
The letter was never sent.
They erroneously put a warrant out for his arrest on a minor misdemeanor charge that was < $500 fine. That was the only thing the cops were arresting for.

It was a misdemeanor. ... it's against policy to chase a fleeing misdemeanor, they broke protocol to chase, they broke protocol to taser, they broke protocol to have the taser on the dominant side of the body....

because of their neglect a very young man is dead.

There’s no evidence a letter was never sent with respect to the April hearing, that the warrant was “erroneous,” or outside of protocol. We don’t know why he failed to appear. We do know a judge reviewed some elements of the case and probably spoke to other people involved with the case who appeared, and then decided to sign a warrant asking for Wright to be apprehended and compelled to appear before the court. If the judge broke protocol in issuing the warrant, then I would absolutely support a comprehensive review of how that happened and accountability for those involved. But I haven’t seen any evidence of an “erroneous” warrant yet.

Taser was on non-dominant side according to charging docs.

I do think there are good points about the taser use in this scenario. As well as obviously no justification for why he was fatally shot in a negligent discharge.
