Daunte Wright Killed by Minnesota Officer Following Traffic Stop

[SWP's back]

This is clearly worth a separate discussion/thread IMO.

But everything that is being said, has already been said.

The gun is on your dominent side , the tasar is on your weaker side so you dont make a mistake , training , also arent tasars yellow in places and has a different trigger, experienced officer

Unforgivable mistake and rightly ruled a homocide

Any incident where a person kills another person is considered a homicide. Whether it is a murder, or not, I'll leave that for a judge or jury to decide.

And I think you did mean "homicide" not "homocide". I don't see you being the anti-gay type. Nor do we indeed know if he was a gay man. :)

Apparently there was a warrant out for his arrest, as indicated above.
It was for attempted aggravated robbery, choking and holding a woman at
gunpoint for $820 in 2019, which, if true, is armed robbery with violence.
The online speculation that he didn't know there was a warrant out for his address is false.
Found this just, a Mail exclusive, I put it in the BLM thread.

Do you have a point? It’s absolutely immaterial to his murder.

In a separate thread, about "black lives matter" in general - and not about this particular incident - with incident-specific, unique talking points, and moreover, completely focused and clearly accessible under a separate topic.

Although hyperbolic - your claim that this is covered under the "Black Lives Matter Thread" and hence isn't worthy of a separate topic - is somewhat akin to a hypothetical thread under the topic, "Hey, what's up guys?" - along with the claim that everything whatsoever discussed under that umbrella thread isn't worthy of separate discussion.

I am merely reposting an article, which appears to consider it a point by printing it.

When you look at where the article appeared it's fairly clear what they're doing, and it's working unfortunately. Not that most Mail readers need any encouragement.

Of course you are. What is their point, do you think?

I don't know what there point is. Their point on the other hand...

Banged to rights and believe me, I’m self flagellating as I type.

As per the reply of a poster above, I'd have thought. If nobody could fathom why the bloke would tear off, I'd have thought being pulled for avoiding a charge for armed robbery, with a good chance of a very long stretch ahead,
may be some incentive. Perhaps that's why the article was published, to confirm this.
