    They must have thought Roger Stone was inside.

    A headline you never see:

    "Man shot by police after cooperating"

    For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

    Always blaming the poor helpless victim!

Then you can hear, shocked saying something like "oh my god I shot him.

    when a suspect tries to escape, tasers are typically attempted to cease the fleeing.

    Wow, sounds like the cop was in the "zone" and not thinking about what she was actually doing. Of course she's going to have an uphill battle trying to convince anybody this really was an accident.

    Sad. Looks like bad choices on both sides. If he hadn't tried to flee when he realized he was getting arrested for his warrant there would be no need to deploy a taser.

    In a statement, the Brooklyn Center Police Department said officers had pulled a man over for a traffic violation on Sunday afternoon and determined that he had an outstanding arrest warrant.

    They said that when police tried to arrest him, he re-entered the vehicle.
    ...
    Police Chief Tim Gannon has told media the shooting was accidental.

    Apparently the police showed up to notify the deceased's family 16-strong and wearing riot gear.

    Sad. Looks like bad choices on both sides. If he hadn't tried to flee when he realized he was getting arrested for his warrant there would be no need to deploy a taser. And sadly this cop somehow grabbed their gun while trying to deploy a taser (and announcing they were going to deploy a taser out loud). Cop will probably (deservedly) be fired and face some sort of charge (manslaughter of some sort perhaps).

    Even more sadly, the usual thug suspects are out ruining countless more lives by destroying and looting businesses.

    I saw the press conference. The police chief showed the unedited video of what happened. The cop involved kept saying "taser, taser" according to police training to warn all in the vicinity of what she planned to do, but then pulled her gun instead. In this department, a right handed cop has the gun on the right and taser on the left, and in this case she went to the right. This is why they are claiming it was accidental.
    What an incredibly sad and costly mistake. One she never should have opportunity again to make.
