From https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2021/04/12/rioters-and-looters-ravage-city-near-minneapolis-after-duante-wright-shooting-n1439164 ,

Quote
Katie Wright, Duante Wright’s mother, said her son called her during the traffic stop. She claimed that police pulled him over because he had air fresheners in his car, but the police say there was a warrant out for his arrest.

“He called me at about 1:40, said he was getting pulled over by the police,” the mother told reporters at the scene in footage captured in a Facebook Live video. “He said they pulled him over because he had air fresheners hanging from his rearview mirror.”

“I said when the police officer comes back to the window, put him on the phone and I will give him the insurance information,” the mother added. “Then I heard the police officer come to the window and say, ‘Put the phone down and get out of the car.’ And Daunte said, ‘Why?’ He said, ‘We’ll explain to you when you get out of the car.'”

“All he did was had air fresheners in the car,” the mother said. “He got out of the car and his girlfriend said they shot him. He got back in the car and he drove away and crashed.”

The Brooklyn Center Police Department released a statement on the shooting, announcing that an investigation is underway. The department claimed cops pulled Wright over for a traffic violation, but “officers determined the driver of the vehicle had an outstanding warrant.”

“At one point as officers were attempting to take the driver into custody, the driver re-entered the vehicle,” the press release explained. “One officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver. The vehicle traveled several blocks before striking another vehicle.”

While commonly flaunted and seldom enforced, having something dangling from one's rear-view mirror is a traffic violation. For whatever reason, the officers did pull Wright over, apparently for the danglers (how many, how large, I wonder). Once pulled over and taking some #$%, the officers IDed him and found he had an outstanding warrant. When they tried to take him into custody he resisted, tried to escape, probably endangered the officer(s) and/or civilians, and got shot for so doing.

IOW, had he not had the danglers, he'd not have been pulled over and would be alive today. Had he not had a warrant - for not appearing in court, possibly - the officer wouldn't have tried to arrest him, and he'd have driven away alive and holding a minor traffic ticket (or even just had a verbal warning). Had he not resisted arrest he would be out on bail today. Similarly, had he not tried to flee he would be out on bail today.

That's what is "known" so far. The info being preliminary, it's probably incomplete and possibly partially incorrect.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I don’t agree with reflexively taking the cop side without knowing all the information yet but after being told “hands up don’t shoot,” Breonna Taylor shot by cops while in bed, Jussie Smollet, and this Derek Chauvin case amongst many others makes me a little jaded
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

An officer who can’t tell their firearm from their taser under pressure has no business being on the force

To every cop on the street: Get out now.  You're frazzled and unsupported.  Get out with your life and your freedom while there's still time.  And count yourself lucky.

Why is that cop still on the force if she can't tell her pistol from her taser in a stressful situation?
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

Ben Crump to represent family of Daunte Wright

Of Course..

I doubt there'll be a trial, since the cop confessed on camera. She'd be smart to go for a plea deal.

So, he's going for maximum face time and the big $$$.

God bless America.

Your question presumes the Minnesota police department trains and tests for this.   :smokin:

Putting a muzzle on what I think of women police officers and tasers. Lets just say neither is positive.
