That doesn't mean he deserved to die like that in cold blood. He was only 20 years old and had a 2 year old son. He will now have to grow up knowing his father died by a cop who got a taser and gun confused.
Instead, the child should have grown up in poverty knowing that his father was a scumbag who was rotting in prison for being a violent criminal. Instead, racists will turn his father into some kind of martyr which will likely make his family fairly rich, plus what they'll get from the city when they sue for wrongful death.....and the scumbag father isn't around to be a negative influence on the kid.
The cop mistakenly shooting the violent criminal with a gun instead of a taser was by far the best thing that could have ever happened for Daunte Wright's son.
His criminal record is not the issue. It's about the officer mistaking her gun for a taser. How would you feel if this was your son.
I’d be embarrassed that my son was a criminal....although I’d have certainly taught him better, to comply, respect the police, and take responsibility for his actions, same as I was taught at a very young age.

I would prefer my son die than to have him continue to violently victimize others, yes.
Of course, I would never raise someone who would do that to others, so it's just a hypothetical. You have to be an especially terrible parent to raise a violent criminal.
Hell, you have to be pretty terrible at being a parent if you raise a kid who is dumb enough to resist arrest.
Honestly though, if my kid was an armed robber, he'd have more to fear from me than from the police.
I'd feel awful long before that night at his criminal record, knowing his life, just due to it, would end badly.
Wright was a ticking time bomb. Most like him end up dead due to their criminal occupational choices, even w/o pd intervention.
Says who. You can defend the officer all you want but she killed someone for no reason.
