Daunte Wright death: Moment Minnesota officer 'accidentally' shoots and kills black man

That's an unnecessarily inflammatory headline from Sky News in my opinion.

Why do you find it inflammatory?

I agree. But so many headlines are lately. MOO

Why?

A curfew that starts in a few minutes but a vigil still planned. I am worried how that is going to turn out.

Aren't reports usually signed by the examiner?

Let's hope the Boogaloo Boys stay far away from the vigils, then.

White supremacists, extremists may use Chauvin trial to further their agendas: DHS

Minnesota Officer Who Shot Daunte Wright Meant to Fire Taser, Chief Says

@mayor_elliott

Moments ago the council passed a motion 3-2 to give command authority over our Police Department to my office. At such a tough time, this will streamline things and establish a chain of command and leadership. I appreciate the other councilmembers who voted to approve this motion

An interesting comment indicating this happened because the CM indicated the officer should receive due process like any other American. Hopefully there’s more to it than that. We don’t need Salem Witch Trials v.2.

That is clearly labelled a press release report.

I watched it again. What would she have been reaching for? The situation looked manageable until she grabs at him, which gives him an opening, or maybe scared him into thinking she was planting something on him.

Allegory:

If we look at a surgeon, and he accidentally uses a scalpel instead of a laser, causing a death, would it be malpractice? I do think so.

I think that when the male officer goes to put the cuffs on Wright is what makes him break away. You can see the cuffs in his hand. Wright maybe was thinking that he had to make his move before the cuffs went on or he would have no chance.
