Didn’t this happen with the BART cop in San Fran? Luckily he was caught by a bystander camera. Oops.

Why was she shooting him anyway? Stopping him for an air freshener hanging from mirror, as an early report suggests, seems ridiculous. The video shows her in the guy’s face, hyped on anger or a power-trip. She’s now killed a guy on camera and should face justice.

It’s a good thing this just came out.

Now BLMers won’t Burn Loot and Murder.

As I always say - a community deserves the police they have.

And Minneapolistan certainly deserves this idiot she/cop

I'm not clicking through on a CNN link (frankly I don't think CNN should ever get posted here), so hopefully somebody can explain the full context of this incident and how a taser came to be involved in the first place.

I've been involved in a few traffic stops over the years and tasers have never been part of them!

Put her in the same cell as that muzzie cop who killed Justine Damond.

I do think that Minneapolis has some hiring issues and it is getting people killed.
