Daunte Wright

Yet another name. In Minnesota. During Derek Chauvin's trial. A young man lost so unnecessarily.

How the fuck can you confuse your taser with your gun. A traffic stop should never result in a death. The police response last night was abhorrent, violent, aggressive, dangerous, and the police chief promised the same response tonight. We'll be there tonight.

Headlines say more than I can.

Sickening and heartbreaking and infuriating. I just...there are no words.

It's so sad and infuriating that shit like this just keeps on happening. I call BS on her mistaking her gun for a taser....

if he's confusing his taser for his gun he should not be a cop, he shouldn't even have a gun licence and he probably shouldn't be allowed out on his own.

She not only is a 26-year-veteran, but she was actively training in a new officer when she killed Daunte.

Cops don't even need guns. Jfc.

That is just wrong and frightening. No-one who has been in the profession that long would confuse a gun with a taser. I don't believe cops need guns either and the world should have major gun control.

Cops now patrol in threes with assault rifles here. Nothing has happened, they just decided to do it and we have no bill of rights, so we're stuck with it. Trust the govt? Hell no.
