Letting him flee would have been the worst possible action the police could take.
I agree. Society isn’t going to miss this guy. Aggravated robbery at 19, revoked bail, active warrant, resisting arrest.

She saved taxpayers some money.

Yeah he was on his way to church.

Sometimes nature corrects a mistake. Like when someone climbs in the polar bear cage, or teases the tiger on stage or tries to pet a bull shark or does a Daunte Wright with cops.

In addition, the GoFundMe for the family plus the settlement the city will make, should make up for the future earnings they counted on from Daunte's crimes to come.

The family will clear more than their felon Offspring ever would have.

So sic a police dog to chow down on his genitals or Taze the stupid %$#@ and take a nightstick to his empty noggin. Mistaking a pistol for a Tazer is just bad police work. Same goes for what happened to George Floyd. Unless its a white guy that dies the MSM will be out for blood.

If the female officer would have grabbed her taser, as she obviously meant to do, none of this would have happened.

If your Aunt had three wheels, she'd be a tricycle. So what?

As to the criminal being someone's son, brother, or friend.....if they raised their son to not be a criminal, he wouldn't be dead. Their failure as a parent is at least partly to blame. If you were this criminal's friend, odds are, you are a fairly garbage person yourself.

When the lives of awful people come to an end, it's not a bad thing, despite their potential connections to others. Those people can be sad if they want, but their child, friend, or brother dying is still objectively a good thing for the world regardless of how they feel about it.
"When the lives of awful people come to an end, it's not a bad thing..."
You seem like an awful person, so I'm inclined to agree.

By your thinking, all criminals should be executed, regardless of crime. All parents of those criminals also should be executed, because it was their fault. Also, all disabled people, the elderly, mentally challenged individuals, should all be executed; they are a drain on our resources. Poor people, not contributing much to our GDP, need to be eliminated. All of the above is "objectively a good thing for the world."

It's not sad that a violent criminal will no longer be able to terrorize others, BUT it is sad that another youth and human being wasted his life. I'm sure he could have contributed in unique ways had his choices been different. Did his home life influence his life choices? I have little doubt, but that excuse only goes so far. To me the solution resides in what can be done to give more young people life guidance and a stable home to grow up in? Until we figure that out, this will be a recurring incident.

I will probably get hammered for saying this, but I believe Jesus could have made a difference in this man's life. Stop living for self and live for your creator. Strive everyday to be the man God wanted him to be. From the standpoint that he never reached that potential, it is sad.

If he wasn’t a criminal “none of this would have happened”.
