The Brooklyn Center Minnesota police released the bodycam footage of the Daunte Wright shooting by a female police officer. It has been labeled an ‘accidental discharge.’
Briefly, the following is what took place. Police stopped his car for a traffic violation and then saw there was a warrant for his arrest. As they were handcuffing him outside his car, he resisted arrest and jumped back in the car. At that point, the female police officer came over, calling out ‘taser, taser.’ She then shot once, but it wasn’t with her taser as she thought. It was with her Glock.
He was wounded and took off but the car crashed almost immediately.
The officer said she thought she was shooting her taser.
An analysis by Officer Tatum can be found on this link.
Black Lives Matter has been rioting since the shooting and this footage won’t help calm the situation.
Watch:
Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon calls the shooting of Daunte Wright an “accidental discharge”:

He probably should have been in jail. Why are we passing gun laws when we let people who violate our gun laws right out of jail?
I have obtained a copy of the outstanding warrant for Daunte Wright. He failed to appear in court last week after being charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and fleeing a peace officer. pic.twitter.com/k1wnD0ICiJ

Sorry this happened, but he should’ve dealt with his priors.
Comply and you won’t d i e
It’s very simple – comply and you won’t die.
Perhaps he should have dealt with his priors.
Resist and bad things can happen. He knew he was going to jail and ran. F him.
Once again a model citizen meets his end because of police singling out and picking on an innocent law abiding community member out minding his own business. You can hear the hate in the officer’s voice as she yells out “Glock, Glock, Glock” and murders this obedient future engineer or doctor who is guilty of merely “Driving while Black”. Clearly more stores and businesses will require BLM looting and burning to bring this promising young man some belated justice.
This little angel had a warrant out after not appearing in court for possessing an illegal firearm and fleeing police and once again, he fled the police after wrestling free from police trying to cuff him.
Dante’s parents must be VERY PROUD!!!
They just hit the Ghetto Powerball….your damn right they`re proud.
Give the cops back their batons and flashlights and this might not of happened. Having two similar style weapons is a disaster waiting to happen. Get rid of the taser and reissue blackjacks.
you would think she should know the difference between her pistol and a taser gun heat of the moment I guess.The guy should not have tried to take off to late for that after he has been stopped.Just an excuse for more riots and they really don’t need an excuse kind of funny how these fools burn down their own neighbor hood.I think this is just the beginning aint seen nothing yet looks like its all organized all the shootings all the cops being demonized The old Fool Joe calling to take our guns right when we may need them the most this thing stinks to high heaven .This is way worse than the sixties and that was bad and it was backed by the communists just like now only difference we now have a communist government wonder how far they will let it go until they crack down and start shooting
We can all second guess these men sitting behind a computer but until your Life is in Danger you have no how you would react. All the training in the world can only go so far when faced with DEATH. If this Little Bastard would have complied he would still be alive. Conclusion No racism Cops Not Responsible
I believe it was unintentional, but not accidental, it’s not like the female officer had her weapon in her holster and bumped into something that managed to engage and pull the trigger.
The female officer was a complete interruption and hindrance to the male officer attempting to handcuff the suspect, and should be reprimanded for that.
But racist? NO.
Finger wasn’t straight and off the trigger either. She should only face charges for flagging the other officer
A safety on a Glock ???
I don’t think so.
That he ran and got shot disturbs me not. But, c’om on man, if an officer doesn’t know the difference between her weapon and a taser, there is a bigger problem than just the shooting. This is one of the most unbelievable excuses since Bill Clinton’s stating he smoked marijuana but didn’t inhale.
I have serious questions about how well the officers are trained — how the h*ll do you confuse a taser with a Glock? You sight either weapon by lining it up with your target — she didn’t notice she was holding the Glock? And she also had to disable the safety on it.
Was she an affirmative action hire???
The trigger is the safety on a Glock. As police make this mistake occasionally, my guess is this is more a lack of training issue.
Dr. Ed, simply for clarification, there is no manual safety on a GLOCK pistol. The safety, intended to prevent accidental discharge, is cleverly built into the trigger of the GLOCK. In fact, there are three mechanisms built into the GLOCK to prevent accidental discharge; it simply doesn’t happen.
There is no safety to disable on a Glock. It does not have a grip safety, a slide safety, etc. It is all built into the trigger. It is obvious you do not know anything about Glocks.
Glocks do not have a manual safety to disengage. The Glock has a trigger safety. You pull the trigger, the safety disengages, and the gun fires. Not defending the officer’s mistake, but just wanted to clarify your comment about having to disengage the safety before discharging the gun.
Not sure, but it’s possible that the ergonomics of the taser could be close to those of the Glock, so they would feel the same in her hand. It might be too that the taser was worn in a position on her duty belt close to that of her Glock, making a mistake like this easy to make. If both of these are true, then it would be down to the color of the Glock and the taser being different.
Zero point Zero racism
I believe it was an accident, but it’s still not good enough to not understand the difference between your handgun and a taser-gun.
Those “tools” are difficult to confuse with each other.
That said, the situation wouldn’t have come to this if he didn’t resist and tried to run.
Have you ever been in a situation where you are fighting a felon? I have and it happens in a split second and you react, not always as you wish you had! High stress and mistakes happen. This thug is dead and the world is a better place . Not the outcome the officer wanted but she just made a mistake. WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE AND SHE WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT!
Give his family 8 bucks and call it even!
Don’t resist and live!!
Does not matter shot while resisting arrest. We do not want this but heck it happens all the time.
Stop apologizing, and back our Police.
I guess the outstanding warrant is now Moot. This Man should have NEVER BEEN RELEASED from jail but some PANTYWAISTED Judge only saw the color of his skin and not the content of his Character, and decided “Ohh poor discriminated against baby we will let you go but you have to Pinkie Promise to come back for your hearing ok Pookie?” Now he is Dead.
Esteemed party member comrade kommissar Hunter would be in trouble if gun laws were enforced.
Maybe the police woman should have some backup (sexist!) and maybe have the taser somewhere
separate from the service weapon.
BTW-Hunter is the reason that the republic will be burned to the ground and it really is just that simple.
Some comrades are a little more equal than others.
