im not lieing cop said muscle memory.
because it was blm fear. read about muscle memroy,Notice that this poster makes it about race and NOTHING about a cop being professional enough to tell the difference between a gun and a taser.
not if your adrenaline is pumping.Yes, muscle memory would keep you from making this mistake.
Hell, I can tell the difference between a 9mm and .45 just by feel
how abnout onwe who ran and drove away and faught the cops. had he not done that he would still be here.So let's shoot everyone who has an outstanding warrant for their arrest?
Lord knows the left would NEVER (cough kavanaugh) do something like that.The Right had fun with character assassinating him anyways.
No sympathy for the man she shot and killed, eh?My deepest sympathies to the former officer and her family.
I hope that she can afford the best attorneys when it comes to sentencing and the appeal.
Cops should learn from this case: Just let perps flee.
They are not worth losing one's job over.
Besides, those perps often cross another perp, and POW!
What a joke. That thug wasn’t obeying cops and she had every right to plug him full of lead. Her mistake was saying using the gun was a mistake.
Are you saying that someone who got a spot on the United States Supreme Court is a victim equivalent to someone who was wrongfully shot and killed by the police?Lord knows the left would NEVER (cough kavanaugh) do something like that.
the left does it to ANYONE who tells them no.
Little boredtoseeya compulsiveky notes its “disagreement.” Dopey stalker.The legal definition of recklessness doesn’t appear to embrace or even consider the mistaking of a gun for a taser. In fact: The converse appears to be true.
There is literally no question that she made the tragic horrifying mistake. The question is whether that particular mistake comports with the legal definition of recklessness. I believe it does not.
If a dolt is playing with a loaded gun (especially knowing that it’s loaded and operable) and stupidly and carelessly fires off some rounds while being unconcerned with the prospect that some living people might be hurt in the process, that’s reckless.
By contrast, here, she had to have both a gun and a taser. She didn’t act recklessly. She made a simple mistake. A tragic one for sure. But just a mistake. By pulling the trigger on the gun (under the mistaken Assumption that she was holding her taser), she didn’t have any reason to believe that anyone was being put at risk of grave injury or death. It wasn’t, in that legal sense, “recklessness” as it is defined in Minnesota’s law.
Because we know that in such thorny legal analyses even judges can make mistakes, there are layers of appellate review. Here, I believe the definition of “recklessness” was either given incorrectly OR the jury failed to apply the actual evidence to the law in a legally acceptable fashion.
I don’t get a vote on their appellate bench. So, we will have to wait and see.
Sounds like a Stormfronter jealous that someone else gets to shoot black people.Based on this verdict, Alec Baldwin should go to jail.
However, since Baldwin shot two White people he will be OK.
Kim Potter shot a filthy ass Negro Thug so it is a crime in Libtard Twin Cities.
no. I'm simply saying you are a hypocritical idiot.Are you saying that someone who got a spot on the United States Supreme Court is a victim equivalent to someone who was wrongfully shot and killed by the police?
