Actually the warrant was for a hearing he missed because the court sent the notice to the wrong address.
In any event, the warrant doesn't excuse a 26 year veteran police officer murdering him.
No one thinks it excuses her using a gun instead of a taser, but every sensible person knows that he would be alive if he had not resisted arrest. She screwed up, and we'll see what criminal charge fits the bill, but Wright was a criminal with a bad attitude who put her in the position to mess things up. It's his fault, too, and the protesters need to shut up and go home.
Why do some people find it soooo difficult to do what the police request? Yes, the officer made a mistake but had he complied he'd still be upright!
Doesn't it get boring regurgitating the same "he should have complied" trope all the time? Does a police officer getting paid by tax payers have no responsibility in their actions?
There is no other occupation on this planet that allows for so many fatal "mistakes".
Breanna Taylor was minding her business, inside of her home when the police effectuated a bogus search warrant....and murdered her.
Botham Jean, minding his business IN HIS HOME when a stupid cop "mistakenly" walked into the wrong apartment and murdered him. Then had the audacity, the unmitigated white privilege gall to argue that since she thought she was in her home...she had the right to stand her ground and kill him.....in his home.
This is not a matter of compliance. We have seen time and time and time again...it doesn't matter what a black person does. Since the founding of this country....when a white person wants to kill a black person....they will do it and likely get away with it. What we're seeing now in 2021 is no different than what was happening in 1921, except perhaps the weapon of choice. It used to be a noose and a tree....now its a badge and a gun.

Just because you want something to be white privilege doesn't make it white privilege. I swear people want to call everything they disagree with racist & everything they are jealous of WP.

And there you have it-THE PROBLEM! with our country!
The young man didn't have to die period. He wasn't in the act of committing a crime and Yes he should have been arrested but KILLED? and by ACCIDENT? No excuse for cops to do what they did.
It just goes to show the fact that some people should NEVER become cops!
No, the young man didn't have to die, but due to the kind of person he was, his death is objectively a good thing for the world.
I agree that the incompetent cop should be fired, but the fact that the criminal is dead rather than rotting in jail where he belongs isn't something worth crying about.
Also, when you resist arrest and attempt to flee....you are in the act of committing a crime.
Just because you want something to be white privilege doesn't make it white privilege. I swear people want to call everything they disagree with racist & everything they are jealous of WP.
But it’s the easiest card to play while blaming everyone else for their self inflicted problems and shortcomings.
What part of what happened is tragic? Tragedy implies an unhappy ending, Daunte Wright no longer being on the planet is not an unhappy ending.
If anything, the tragedy is going to be what simple minded animals do out in the streets as a result of this criminal getting themselves killed.
Someone's son, someone's brother, someone's friend is dead. That IS a tragedy. And no human beings are simple minded animals.
I don't know if you believe in God or Karma or nothing, but I do think someone with such a callous, immoral and superior attitude as yours will someday be called to account.
And there you have it-THE PROBLEM! with our country!

1. He *was* in the act of committing a crime -- resisting arrest.
2. The shooting wasn't an "accident". It was negligent, reckless, or intentional. We'll see what the evidence proves.
3. If you resist arrest, you are nuts.
4. That's right. Like Yanez and Noor, she may have been an unqualified diversity hire.
No not at all but a guy goes into nail salons kills 8 people and he's ALIVE. Another guy kills 10 people and at worst he's shot in the leg and still ALIVE. Kid panics and tries to run and cop pulls out a gun and bingo he's DEAD and all over air freshners in his rear view mirror.
SAD!
Actually, he had a warrant against him and tried to flee the scene. Had he complied he’d be alive like the other folks you described. In his case, crime didn’t pay.
SERIOUSLY? So he's to blame for the cops stupidity?
Yes. He had complete control over the situation. Had he not fled, no mistake would have been possible and he'd be rotting in jail as we speak. Instead, he chose to flee and a mistake was made that mercifully ended his life.
He could have also just not been a criminal in the first place, and he wouldn't have been getting arrested.
He made a series of bad decisions that made that accident possible, he's to blame for those decisions.
