Brooklyn Center Shooting - RIP Daunte Wright

[maq25060]

Him resisting is what made her pull her gun out in the first place, if he don’t fight and jump back in his car there wouldn’t have been a mistake because she wouldn’t have pulled out

y’all making it seem like I’m defending the *****, both parties are at fault

My dude. I'm fairly big in personal accountability as well. In my eyes, the vast majority of life, you get what you earned/deserve.

And yes, what you state is factual to an extent. If mans doesnt resist, he doesn't give that lady cop the reason to shoot him in that moment for that reason.

3 issues here though with your overall tone on this thread.
1) I said your statement was true to an extent. If mans does not resist, who is to say they won't find another reason to mistake their taser for a gun? This is why you're being provided examples of people who do comply and still end up dead.

2) Not complying is no excuse for death. It simply doesn't equate. Even with as big on personal accountability as I am, that truth has to come before accountability. Life is too precious and shouldn't be taken away by someone because you did not follow orders. Police arent here to be judge juror and executioner. Yet far too often they take that responsibility in their hands. Guy gets away from you? Go back to your precinct and file a ******* report.

3) Your entire focus up until this post I am quoting is strictly about what the deceased did wrong. Folks ain't trying to hear ONLY that. Someone else has come in and spoke to how he resisted. Correcting others who said he was complying. The very next paragraph from the poster however went on to state the officer should be fired and jailed because such an outcome is not acceptable. You posted a whole lot of "personal accountability" before mentioning "both parties were at fault." Your focus, in my opinion, is placed in the wrong location. The decision to run from the police is far less egregious that the decision to kill someone. And the people are going to focus on the more egregious act. The one that continues to happen time and again during these interactions. The act that is never fully punished.

First thought I had was Oscar Grant with the taser and gun mix up.

 

[ksteezy]

And why you keep using slang when referencing him as if he didn’t have a name, least show the deceased some respect bro.

 

[blastercombo]

looks like a missed hearing on a previous gun charge

Oh than white people shouldn’t be mad then. They love the 2nd Amendment or is it different now for some reason?

 

[Magic33]

You do realize that the reason cops often use the excuse "I feared for my life" is because that's what it should take for them to be justified in shooting a suspect, right?

So, what did the victim do that threatened the officer's lives?

and nobody ever applies that same logic of the victim feared for his life. Look at Windsor Virginia.

The person being pulled over has every right to be just as afraid.

Over a air freshner and then misdemeanor marijuana.

You know the 2nd amendment only applies to those of Caucasian ancestry.

 

[ksteezy]

And with how hard it is to convict cops to nearly being impossible, is best we all accept the fact that this cop won’t even be fired, if there is even the slightest evidence that can be interpreted as “I thought he was gonna reach for something and feared for my life” can be shown, and I’m sorry but a lawyer can easily grab that cam footage and claim just that, shes walking off....look at how hard it is to even convict Chauvin WHOS on video, executing a civilian for 9 minutes who was cuffed and unable to move...that should give ya all a perspective on how far this is getting

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Saying “if he hadn’t resisted he wouldn’t be dead” sounds a lot like “if she hadn’t gotten drunk she wouldn’t have been raped”. Victim blaming is weird.

 

[tomdiginson]

The crazy thing about this is, even if she is fired, they will just hire her one county or city away to go and do the same thing all over again.

 

[ksteezy]

Btw she could have easily shot her partner too, she has no business holding a gun.

She had no business being a cop

I’m convinced some of y’all don’t want solutions, y’all just want to be victims time and time again. There seemed to be an easy solution in this situation. Let them *****es do their job and you live to tell your story.

There is always one.

 

[blastercombo]

You know the 2nd amendment only applies to those of Caucasian ancestry.

Of course

“everyone should vote”
Everyone votes
“Ok, not everyone should vote”

“Everyone has free speech”
People protest
“Ok, not everyone has free speech”

“everyone has the right to do what they want”
People want to not support certain things
“Ok, you can’t just do what you want”


so on and so forth.

 

[blastercombo]

There is always one.

What I say last thread? Discussions like these always expose somebody

 

[gry60]

Yall ****** asking irrelevant questions. The fact remains if dude with the warrant for his arrest is arrested without a fight he would be alive right now

If she knew how to identify her tools, she wouldn't be on the evening news.

And yes, what you state is factual to an extent. If mans doesnt resist, he doesn't give that lady cop the reason to shoot him in that moment for that reason.

I disagree. This is not factual. This is an attempt to make the victim responsible for the consequences of the officer's incompetence.

Saying “if he hadn’t resisted he wouldn’t be dead” sounds a lot like “if she hadn’t gotten drunk she wouldn’t have been raped”. Victim blaming is weird.

Civil engineer uses wrong tolerances to build bridge; bridge collapses; his family goes: "these people shouldn't have needed a new bridge, and he wouldn't have built it"

Surgeon kills patient on operating table because he confused scissors for scalpel; his family goes: "had patient not smoked, he wouldn't have needed the surgeon's services in the first place"

Cosmetologist burns customer's hair with relaxer; "if she had softer hair, I wouldn't have used relaxer."

And let’s be clear here too, there was no need to use a weapon on him either

Yeah this is what it boils down to, a cop shouldn’t be exempt from liabilities.....is literally the only career which covers up negligence to incredible lengths....and is not even the most dangerous job to have.

I just can’t comprehend if someone FLEES or gets away, WHY DO COPS TRY AND TASE OR SHOOT THEM! Let them run. You lost that battle.

S**** irks me. Do your job. If I get away, your job is not to shoot at me.

 

[ksteezy]

Apparently she’s the president of the police union?
Yeah bros, shes walking away with EASE....the most this young man’s family will see as far as justice goes is a monetary settlement

Ego.

Pride.

They basically feel as though they "lost" if someone got away, so shoot now, don't answer questions later.

Haven’t seen one of these since Tamir Rice was murdered and that was by accident, so I won’t watch this one either. Whatever the details, she’s at fault.
I have friends with multiple handguns and I’m certain that they can tell you which of their guns they are holding with their eyes closed. After 25 years of being a cop and in the middle of the day, she couldnt distinguish between her taser and gun? I’m not buying it. Yelling “taser” is the equivalent of saying “stop resisting.” It’s merely to cover an officer’s *** when they want to shoot someone.

Gonna be a wild summer if this lady skates.....not sure what has to change to prevent this from happening, but last summer’s protests obviously weren’t enough.

 

[Velvetgrizzly]

this young man died because of the incompetence and negligence of this police officer.
but, I fail to see why people who get into police confrontations refuse to come to the realization that any kind of resistance is going to end in an unfavorable situation.
We know the deal with police now more than ever.
they are incompetent and utterly useless for the most part.
but, they possess authorities that the average citizen can't exercise.
you are better off just taking the L, living to have your day in court and dealing with the consequences as opposed to losing your life.

So don’t resist = you’ll live? How’d that work for George Floyd or Mrs. Taylor?
