Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

So, back on topic...
The Hennepin County medical examiner on Monday evening ruled his manner of death was homicide and said the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest.
During a tense press conference, Gannon released the bodycam footage of the incident that showed three officers approaching Wright's car after he had been pulled over for the traffic stop.
The footage showed one officer trying to handcuff Wright as a second officer told him he was being arrested on a warrant. Wright immediately jumped back into his car in an apparent attempt to flee.
A struggle then broke out between the officers and Wright, who was still sitting inside his car.
The female officer could be heard shouting 'Taser!' several times in the moments before she fired her gun. Immediately after, the female officer can be heard saying: 'Holy sh*t. I shot him'. It appears she dropped her gun in the aftermath.
It appears that the police were aware there was an outstanding warrant prior to handcuffing, and the knowledge of the warrant was what initiated the arrest and attempted handcuffing.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Although, if he was sitting in his car then he didn't attempt to go back to it, so that part was incorrect.

Police pursuits are incredibly dangerous, and best never to allow one to start.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

She will be charged with manslaughter -- sad, but actually, not much other choice. I don't think anybody can realistically believe she meant to kill him -- it's so clear that she was stunned by the fact that she shot him, after yelling "taser".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Gondwanaland View PostThat's what I figured it would be. 2nd degree manslaughter, which applies to negligence in that state. At least they didnt overcharge like they did Chauvin. Likely she'll be found guilty and get the minimum.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
