[DigitalDrifter]

This was a tragic mistake. The idea that she meant to shoot Wright seems ridiculous when you review the evidence.
Wright's own behavior brought this tragedy on to himself.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A former suburban Minneapolis police officer who has said she meant to use a Taser instead of a handgun when she shot and killed Daunte Wright in April is laying out her potential defenses ahead of her November trial.

I didn't mean to hit that car when I drove home drunk and besides, a 16 year old should be home in bed at 1 in the morning so it's partially his fault he died.

Split tails should not be cops.

Terrible analogy.

More like protester illegal blocking traffic and you accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.

This was a tragic accident...and if old what's his name would have complied with police directives...he'd still be alive.

How does the public get access to a pending criminal defense?

She wasnt drunk. Plenty of people are killed in car accidents every day, but no one goes to jail for it if its an accident.

How is it not justified regardless of if she intended to use the taser or the gun? The thug was fleeing in a 2000 lb weapon. The original contact was completely legal.
