The police made a tragic mistake in MN, but the primary responsibility for what happened should be placed on the "victim" who resisted arrest and tried to escape. He had an outstanding arrest warrant for armed robbery. He jumped in his car, which itself could be a weapon during any ensuing chase. And he could have had a weapon in the car. IMO a case could be made for using lethal force.
Why is the police officer being charged for involuntary manslaughter while the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt gets off scot-free? We don't even know his name. The MN police officer has had to move out of her house, which is being vandalized by the mob. I am more concerned about the politicization of the justice system than a few isolated incidents of alleged police misconduct.
We are asking the police to deal with societal problems created and fueled by politicians. People like Maxine Waters pour gasoline on to the fire legitimizing attacks on the police, looting, etc. There are over 50 million police interactions with the police annually. Less than 10 unarmed blacks were shot by the police in 2019. How many police are shot and killed annually? Just not buying into the narrative that the police are out of control.
We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
Sorry Cousin Mike, but I diagree that the PRIMARY responsibility for what happened should be placed on Daunte.
50% of the responsibility perhaps because he shouldn’t have run off....nobody should run when the police are telling them to stay.
That stun gun, had she used the right gun, would have stopped the guy.
It is NOT his PRIMARY fault.
As for Ashli Babbitt.....don’t we have Republican congress people that could approach the Justice Department for answers? Yes, we should know what the story is but can’t Jim Jordan, even Mitch McConnell....hold a news conference or something to make some noise about this?
Yes police are asked to handle entirely too many things that are not their baliwick.
Remember, I was married to a cop. Got hit by a car and the driver drove off and left him laying aside the road to die. I’ve learned a thing or two by the experience.
She used her gun instead of her stun gun. After 26 years on the job she shoots a guy with the wrong gun.
That just looks bad. Can’t blame it all on the suspect as I argue.
Just some minor pickadilos with this comment

It appears that in Minnesota the rough men appears to be the SS NAZI storm troopers.
Perhaps some of these rough men should be de-funded and/or getting shot would not be a cause for concern by anyone.
