    Re: Another Black Shooting In Minneapolis

    The Officer in the Daunte Wright shooting made a terrible mistake, you can tell that by watching the bodycam video, she even shouts a warning to her fellow officer she is about to tazer him, then her reaction after it is plain to see it was just a terrible mistake

    When i return to the US ( i go to disney dont you know ) if i ever get stopped by the police, i sure as hell am not going to run off / resist arrest / try and dive back in my car, the police are so on edge

    The police carry a tazer and a gun, normally the gun is on the prominent side, yes the gun will be heavier than the tazer, but in the heat of the moment with adrenaline pumping and you have just stopped a known fellon who failed to tun up to court, you can see how she made the mistake

    Daunte Wright had an outstanding warrant for a pistol misdemeanour, also refused to stop re-entering his car when warned, if he'd obeyed the law, he'd still be alive. However, whilst the female officer seems genuinely shocked, that's an inexcusable mistake for someone 26 years on the force. African-Americans make up 13.4% of the population, yet are responsible for over 50% of the homicides, (the large majority of murders being intraracial), that astonishing statistic probably does put the police on edge.

    Anyone see the one last week where an army lieutenant in his uniform was pulled over and gassed by some mental copper, he kept his hands in display the whole time despite being asked to produce something, he knew what could potentially happen if his hands slipped out of sight. He’s going to sue them which is good news. They’ve got a massive problem over there which looks like it’s only going to get worse.

    Yep thing your para above makes a valid point I don't get why they run the risk and behave or resist knowing it could go wrong by the many awful incidents that are so well publicised , I'd just get out slowly hand in the air or kneel down when asked which seems to be a standard procedures based on body cam discussions in the USA ?

    Wasn’t it last week when there was a report of a serving soldier being flashed to stop and he made sure he stopped in a well lit area and he stayed in the car because he thought if he got out he’d be shot. The policemen then pepper sprayed him through the open window. The officer was sacked but the thing is if the soldier had been shot and killed there would have only been one story heard.
