MN - Daunte Wright, 20, fatally shot by police during traffic stop, Brooklyn Center, 11 April 2021

I must agree. I honestly wish he did care about this poor family, and the victim, but I honestly don't believe he sincerely cares one iota. I've even seen him at times get the victim's name mixed up.

He shows up in his $5,000 to $10,000 suit, and he can easily afford such lavish lifestyle because of the millions he's made from the pain, and suffering of others.

In cases like this he knows he doesn't even have to show up in a courtroom to try these kind of cases.

BC knows all too well the city will offer a huge settlement without him ever stepping foot in a courtroom to earn it.

Jmho

BBM, As they should, IMO.

Yup, not an angel, as few in his situation are. Still didn't deserve to be killed in the streets. That's what custody is - keeping him alive long enough to face justice. Professional standards should be that the officer keeps themselves and the suspect alive.

I never ever insinuated he deserved to be killed in the streets or otherwise. Several previous posts were questioning the validity of said warrants and if DW was even aware of them. I was just providing some clarification on those points.

I was under the impression that yelling "taser" was part of the training - that officers announce it.

Not that I am justifying what she did. It was clearly botched police work, at the expense of a man's life.

jmo

I always thought it was to warn other officers who are there to get out of the way because a taser was going to be deployed, so they don't accidentally get hit.

"Wow: Daunte Wright’s aunt says George Floyd’s girlfriend was Daunte’s former teacher."

 

[margarita25]

Yes most certainly, and I'm sure he or she would be sued in civil court.

However, imo, they wouldn't have charges brought forth in criminal court for the death of the patients. Unless it was discovered they purposefully were killing patients.

I've read that there are over 70,000 deaths every year due to malpractice of doctors, and nurses. Etc.

I don't think many if any ever face criminal charges though when they accidently kill patients.

Medical Malpractice: Civil Cases vs. Criminal Cases | WKW

I learned a new word today (BBM) :

“The difference is in a concept called mens rea. This term refers to intent—what the person involved in the criminal act was thinking at the time. In most civil medical malpractice or wrongful death lawsuits, defendants may have been negligent and failed to live up to the standard of care that their patients deserved and required, but they weren’t necessarily intending to injure a patient. Criminal cases require that the defendant made a bad judgment call that went beyond negligence and put themselves in a position where they committed manslaughter or homicide.“

mens re·a
/menz ˈrēə/

noun
LAW

1. the intention or knowledge of wrongdoing that constitutes part of a crime, as opposed to the action or conduct of the accused.
   "a mistaken belief in consent meant that the defendant lacked mens rea"

After #2 you could list---- 3.)victim complied and got out of the car-- 4.) victim complied and put his hands behind his back--- 5.) officer was in the process of handcuffing him 6.) female officer steps into the scene and places her hands on the victim and THEN he tries to leave and is shot by her.

Thanks. I had just watched the video, and it wasn't exactly clear on what occurred.

Why did this female officer put her hands on the victim?
Why did the victim try to leave at that point in time?

And you have to take into account that the person more often than not, has contributing factors such as illness.

No, you did not insinuate that, and I hear you. I'm not sure I trust the Daily Mail not to do it, though.

Apparently the DM was just reporting facts, popular or otherwise.

The Mail article is anything but clear though.
No surprises there.

Authorities have not confirmed the nature of the warrant but court records show Wright was being sought after failing to appear in court last month on misdemeanor charges that he fled from officers and possessed a gun without a permit during an encounter with Minneapolis police last June.
Daunte Wright had warrant for his arrest for attempted aggravated robbery charges, say court papers | Daily Mail Online

And that is exactly what Mary Moriarty discussed in her tweets last night

The court sent a summons to Mr. Wright. This means that the prosecutor had already determined that bail was not needed. Otherwise the prosecutor would have asked for a complaint warrant with bail.


The court sent the summons to an address from which mail had already been returned. This means that Mr. Wright never received the summons. He missed the court date he didn’t know about and the court issued a warrant. The police stopped him for expired tabs, a misdemeanor.

hey discovered the gross misdemeanor warrant Mr. Wright probably didn’t know he had, and they tried to arrest him. When he wrestled free of the cop and sat in the front seat of his car, an officer apparently intended to tase him. She shot him point-blank instead.

An additional issue here is that Mr. Wright may not have received the summons for his first appearance. The court issued a warrant when he did not appear. But, the charge was issued as a summons, with no bail required.

"I have loved every minute of being a police officer and serving this community to the best of my ability, but I believe it is in the best interest of the community, the department and my fellow officers if I resign immediately," Potter said in a statement released by the union that represents her.

Shortly after Potter stepped down, Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott said the city's police chief had also resigned. "I'm hoping that this will help bring some calm to the community, although, I think people want justice — they want full accountability," Elliott said in a news conference.

"Wow: Daunte Wright’s aunt says George Floyd’s girlfriend was Daunte’s former teacher."

The two families met today.

This is where I have problems with Crump...
Daunte's mom is so weak and shocked, yet she is put through this public ordeal when she probably needs to be in a quiet place resting and grieving as the full details of the loss of her child sinks in.

Still, her grandchild will need financial support for his lifetime.
Double edged sword.

Every minute?
I notice her letter did not contain a message of sympathy for her victim's family who was shot and killed, by her during the course of her many minutes.

 

[Ray_of_hope]

Yeah. If ya don't like him, keep him out of work by holding those with power accountable for protecting and serving like they are paid to. If our institutions functioned like they should, with internal accountability and professionalism, he would need to find something else to do.

Couldn't have said it better.
