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.

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”.

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… Read more »
