“This was the female officer that yelled she was pulling a Taser, pulled a Glock pistol instead and shot the guy, fatally. Broad daylight.
Oh, and she waved around her gun, endangered the officer next to her and almost shot the officer on the other side of the car.”
Really? Can you please provide the video clearly demonstrating your claim? Many of us would be very interested in seeing this video evidence backing up your statement. Thanks.
You can go to Youtube and find the original if you don’t believe this one, but I’ll go with this version from a generally pro-police former officer who is now a YouTuber:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm5SMurcZtM
1:02 - Driver out of vehicle, officer visible on other side of car.
1:10 - Officer on other side of car appears to be opening door and/or looking inside the window.
1:22 - “I’ll Tase ya!”
1:23 - Glock comes into frame, finger clearly visible inside trigger guard.
1:24 - Glock is in frame. Officer’s finger is clearly on the trigger.
1:25 - “I’ll Tase you!” Also at 1:25, she has already muzzle swept the closer officer’s arm once.
1:26 - She muzzle sweeps the closer officer’s leg.
1:28 - She shoots the driver without checking where the offside officer is at all. She’s also *very* close to the closer officer’s head.
1:31-1:32 - Car drives off and you can see that the other officer was directly across from her when she fired.
If you would like stills of the video at any point, please let me know.
This was primarily a training failure, then a leadership failure, but the officer herself bears much responsibility herself. You can see the other two officers are carrying crossdraw Tasers as is her department’s policy. Her hand never goes for crossdraw, it only goes for her Glock.
Left this out: 1:19 - the offside officer is IN THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT.
Here’s three stills, though you didn’t ask for them
Officer in other side of car:

Glock coming out of holster, finger already in guard, probably (but cannot say from video alone) has already flagged the other officer on this side.

Glock still coming up, finger clearly on trigger even though she’s not ready to shoot. *You can still see the other officer behind Wright in the line of fire!!!*
