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

KP was sure not under attack in this situation.I don't see what other cases have to do with this situation.

True, I do agree Tara that all the violent attacks our police officers have been going through doesn't have anything to do with what happened to Mr. Wright.

However, in this particular killing of this young man it was not done with any purposeful intent to kill him. That should be noted too. It's the very reason the AG charged KP with a lesser degree of culpabilty for he knows he must have proof of evidence in order to prove his case BARD.

I know you will say he didnt deserve to die, and you are right, and every post since the beginning has been in 100 percent agreement with you. Not one has said he deserved this.

Yet many posters who've been for years or over a decade knows there are degrees of culpabilty even in heartbreaking cases like this one.

The circumstances surrounding this case is far different than in DCs case concerning George Floyd.

You're right all of the police officers being ambushed winding up being shot, stabbed or run over just in recent weeks alone doesn't have any direct correlation with this case. But it is a painful reminder to all of us LEOs are also being murdered or have sustained life altering injuries at an alarming rate from suspects with the intent to murder them. They also have families, friends, and commuities who mourn their loss.

There isn't anything wrong with anyone having great sympathy for ALL who have been murdered or killed by a horrible shocking accident due to gross criminal negligence on KPs part.

Some seem to have a problem when the media reports on things they've learned about the person killed no matter who it happens to be. I don't quite understand that since it's been that way here everytime someone is killed just like it is if the media finds any new information on the background of defendants.

I think we are here to learn as many facts as we can, whatever they may be surrounding every case, and we always discuss any prior history for either the victim or the defendant if the media reports on it or its found in public court documents.

In fact it's the reason we are lucky to have MEDIA threads to keep all who are interested in the cases up to date.

No victim is expected to be perfect because all human beings are imperfect in some way.

Take care.

Just to clarify....I absolutely do not think he should have been shot.
Question for those who think it was more than a massive human mistake..... would you have been ok with him being tasered at that point?

No I honestly don't feel it was needed.I thought the young male officer was doing a good job and had things under control and I still don't understand why she felt the need to intervene.

I understand what you are saying but taking the situation as it was, would you have been ok with him being tasered? . ( once he tried to get in the vehicle)

You cannot separate the two acts. One led to the other.

Favorable Info about a Victim?

I haven't seen any of that published about Daunte.

I have not seen much of that either re Daunte Wright. I'm not claiming to have read/heard/watched all MSM on these tragic events, so I could have missed it.

Or it could mean MSM had not dug in far enough to find.

I do not know what there is to find about him - negative or positive- aside from what has I've seen/heard thru MSM.

No.

She repeated tell him, "i will taze you." Then yells "Taser, taser, taser" which is procedure when about to deploy the taser. when the gun fires she is clearly instantly shocked. That is pretty good evidence.

She's just been charged which is better evidence IMO

 

[PrairieWind]

What evidence? That she said 'Oh expletive, I shot him'? I dont think that that is evidence. I think she panicked and drew her gun and shot him. IMO, there is more evidence for that than she mistook a gun for a tazer.

Yes. Charged with manslaughter, not murder. Because it was accidental.

Questions...

In regards to notices being sent to a wrong address - DW was out on bail waiting to appear in court in August, is that correct? If so, wouldn't he have had to be meeting with a parole officer regularly? Was he? If he was, why wasn't he informed at one of those meetings?

Also, does anyone know if the officer's hearing today at 1:30 will be televised?

It isn’t

I'm not Tara of course, but yes I would be.

Simple traffic stops are dangerous times for our police officers, and answering domestic violence calls.

Commonly when it goes sideways for LE fast in simple traffic stops is when the person is resisting or attempting to get back in their vehicle or refuses to come out resulting in them trying to flee or fleeing.

Did you see the New Mexico police officer last week who was doing a simple traffic stop when the man got out of his vehicle, and shot him in the head killing him? It was all caught on his dashcam. The officer was blindsided without any warning. He thought the man was complying. He was dead before he could even draw his weapon. That's how quickly traffic stops can go from a simple stop to the last watch an officer will ever make in the line of duty.

I don't know, perhaps she thought he was going for a weapon. But honestly, I would have let him drive away. Add fleeing while in custody to his list. He would have been caught, pretty quickly.

But, I am not a police officer, so what do I know?

 

[kittythehare]

This has already been debunked. The returned envelope is out of the other case and not related to the case where the warrant was issued. I'm not sure its even the same court. This needs to stop being posted.

There were three links in that post that you want debunked
The one outstanding warrant for Wright's arrest, Hennepin County authorities confirmed, was issued after the young man failed to appear for a hearing on April 2. The court date was to deal with a gross misdemeanor charge dating to last summer, when Wright allegedly got caught carrying a pistol without a permit and fled from a peace officer.

Arthur Martinez, a public defender who represented Wright, said he believed his client had never received notice of the scheduled appearance—and said that the court had not informed him either.

“He obviously didn’t get it, and no one notified me, and a date came up for April 2nd for 2:30 in the afternoon, and him not knowing about it, didn’t show up, and there was a warrant issued for his arrest,” said Martinez, who shared an image of the warrant with The Daily Beast that shows that the judge set bail at a $3,000 bond or $500 in cash.

He was shot by a convicted drug dealer with a violent criminal history on his way to a drug deal. Totally different scenario.

[lonetraveler]

I cannot think how a 26 year veteran of LE could make that mistake. And then say 'Oh ****, I shot him' I expected an lol after that oh dear moment. That is the response after you shoot someone? 'Oh ****'?

I've heard the comment several times now and I feel that she said 'Oh ****, I shot him' out of shock, not amusement.
