He was being arrested because there was more than one open warrant for the violent criminal. All she knew at the time was that there was a violent criminal on the run who was desperate to get away and potentially could have had a weapon in his vehicle. She intended to stop him with her taser, but made a mistake and pulled her gun instead.
Her intentions are not really in question here. We just have people crying about a violent criminal being accidentally killed while attempting to escape police. The only reason these people are upset is due to the color of his skin, they hope to use this to push a false narrative....which is why those types seemingly always get upset when bad things happen to career criminals.
That is incorrect. He was stopped due to a minor traffic violation. They didn’t know who was driving. Daunte Wright wasn’t followed or under police surveillance. The reason: an expired vehicle's registration tag.
As for the “criminal” accusation, I see many times the rationale “the suspect had a criminal past or a bad character”. As such there was legitimate reason to kill him!
But in this country people aren’t executed because they are not nice, or have criminal past. (Although you probably advocate that), there is no capital punishment for stealing, using drugs or similar offenses. If there was, millions would have to be executed!
Actions have consequences; and mob action by a group composed of a greater proportion of deadbeats, failures and criminals is likely to bring about more violent and irrational actions.
I try hard not to feel a sense of justification when some germ from the lower strata of society brings and I've seen firsthand the consequences of a sixteen-year-old trying to instill discipline and respect (if they have any themselves) on a two-year-old,
This is, simply put, a cheap shot. Not everyone who takes satisfaction from a low-life getting what they largely brought upon themselves is a potential serial killer,
Not all sociopaths are serial killers. But one of the hallmarks is a lack of empathy, an inherent inability to relate to another's pain. Referring to human beings as "mindless animals" or as "germs from the lower strata" indicate this kind of thinking.
You are. Had he complied or not been a criminal to begin with, none of it would’ve happened.
Not apparently, he was a criminal.
Not surprised either. Shouldn’t be more than that.
No, I'm not.
His criminal past has no bearing on the question of use of force in this scenario. Full stop.
Had Officer Potter called in sick that morning, or been on vacation that week, this wouldn't have happened. That hypothetical is just as irrelevant as yours.

but wouldn't the police have already known who he was by seeing (running it thru the computer??) his license plate number before they even got out of the car?
so, if they did, they already knew his history.
I do agree with others though, had he not of resisted he would not be dead.

His criminal past certainly does as he had a warrant for a past crime.
Had he not been a criminal, none of this would’ve happened. You continue to blame the cop, but the fact is if he wasn’t a criminal no cops would’ve been involved with him.
How is it that all these black guys are either druggies or felons? It is looking very bad for blacks today as we look at the background of these guys in the news. And the image of them in the beginning is they are angels.
Very simple, only druggies and felons with warrants resist police.
Let Ben Carson or Colin Powell get arrested: they would simply comply, make bail, and fight the charge in court like a normal person.
https://nypost.com/2021/04/13/daunte...killed-by-cop/ Now we know why he attempted to flee the police. He should have not lost his life. However his actions all the way up until the point that the officer made a fatal mistake were all on him. Daunte was wanted for a felony. He obviously knew that and tried to escape.
Did the warrant note that he was wanted dead or alive?

His actions where what determined that. Had he not attempted to rob someone, then skipped out on the court hearing , none of this would have happened. Did he deserve to die for being an F up in society, no, although his led is own path that ended up in that situation.
