Police just released bodycam footage of the Daunte Wright shooting. The cop thought she was firing her Taser, not her gun.

Police have released bodycam footage of the shooting of Daunte Wright -- AKA the young man who was killed by police and who protesters are currently using the latest excuse to riot and loot.

The officer thought she had pulled her Taser. Not her gun. She thought she was tasing him, not shooting him. Watch for yourself [Warning: Graphic]:

WARNING GRAPHIC

Brooklyn Center, MN police release bodycam footage of the moments leading to the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright pic.twitter.com/Ig9CKQaBN0— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) April 12, 2021

She clearly yelled "I'll tase you!" and "Taser! Taser! Taser!" and was clearly shocked when she realized she just shot the guy.

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon calls the shooting of Daunte Wright an "accidental discharge":

“It is my belief that the officer had the intention to employ their taser, but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet.” pic.twitter.com/TM2mn3VXZv— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) April 12, 2021

CHIEF GANNON: "I was front and center at the protest, at the riot."

QUESTIONERS: "Don't do that... There was no riot."

CHIEF GANNON: "There was... The officers were being pelted with frozen cans of pop, pelted with concrete blocks... an officer was hit in the head with a brick" pic.twitter.com/MxjPoQqMiE— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) April 12, 2021

QUESTIONER: "Will you commit to protecting protesters and the people of this city."

CHIEF GANNON: "I am committed to protecting the peaceful protesters of this city every day."

QUESTIONER: "Not yesterday."

A classic example of “buck fever”.

A grand jury will indict the police officer.

Wouldn’t be the first time a cop has shot and killed someone by mistaking their gun for a taser. I think that happened somewhere on the west coast several years ago.

Put her on suicide watch. Protect her family. There will be a murder over this.

A manslaughter charge is warranted.

I watched the video and the black cop had the suspect with his hands behind his back, but he kept fumbling with the handcuffs for so long that the suspect just twisted away from him and jumped back into his car.

In the end, the person most responsible for the death is the dead guy. It was his decision to resist arrest by attempting to run away that led to the deadly encounter. A fool making a foolish choice paid the ultimate price.

Clearly a mistake. I feel for her, but she unjustly took a life, and will probably be convicted for that mistake.

Shot while fleeing. I’d be more lenient if that was standard for anyone fleeing the cops and an arrest, but she knew the protocol and that wasn’t it.

At the least manslaughter, likely in the second degree seems correct to me.

But I could be wrong here, if this guy had a history of violence... some questions have to be asked, and we need a clear investigation.

Based on what we know now, sure looks like the LEO is up the creek, to say the least.

Terrible. All the way around.

What a horrible mistake
I can’t even imagine her pain or the oain if the family Police have long asked for tasers to NOT be made to look like guns

Why would anyone work for a local police force? That job requires you work with the lowest parts of society

Work for one of the dozens of Fed.gov law enforcement agencies. After all, there is zero chance they will be defunded, or even investigated.

Isn’t that the Holder-Obama plan anyway? Eliminate any local control and local cops?

What chaos...Instead of hiring street savvy men who can physically take care of themselves and are trainable, they put women in these positions to deal with seasoned criminals who are stronger and faster than they are. As long as they have some college credits, they’re good to go!

I find this quite insane.
