Brooklyn Dodgers: Police chief and officer who fired the shot resign.
If the punk didn't try to escape from the police, which happens so often in these cases, there would have been no problem.
Moral of the story:
If you comply, you don't die.

Actually, shooting at a fleeing suspect is not "standard procedure"...
From the attached article...
Tom Nolan, a 27-year veteran of the Boston Police Department who’s now an associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at Merrimack College, said, “Certainly it’s not in compliance with standard police training and protocol to shoot at individuals who are fleeing the police. The police are not trained to do that unless there is a threat to an officer or innocent bystander or an imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death. Absent that there’s no justification.”
BTW, I have immense respect and appreciation for what our police forces do for us...at considerable risk to their own safety. I took the time not too long ago to email my thanks and praise to the Commander of a Highway Patrol officer who went 'above and beyond' to help my wife and I in a tough situation.

Not since Tennessee v. Garner in 1985. Before then cops could shoot and kill fleeing felons almost
at will.
She clearly screwed up but she had no intention to shoot the fleeing criminal with other than Taser

I hear what you and T3K are saying...my comment was directed solely at "Irishize" for his judgement
and 'admonition' to all others who choose to flee a traffic stop.
When black parents have " The Talk " with their sons about what to do when they are pulled over,
the first thing that should be emphasized is DON'T RESIST the police! Things go south real fast when you do. It happens again and again. If Duante Wright didn't break loose from the black cop who was trying to cuff him, nothing would have happened.
What did you learn from the linked article?

Let's make it real easy: Don't resist the cops. Comply.

You either didn't read the article, or choose not to acknowledge it, so I'll repeat it for you...
“Certainly it’s not in compliance with standard police training and protocol to shoot at individuals who are fleeing the police. The police are not trained to do that unless there is a threat to an officer or innocent bystander or an imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death. Absent that there’s no justification.”
Has nothing to do with the reality of the street,get off your pedestal

You are not dealing with rational people.
His initial post is disgraceful.
You know, I had that talk with my daughter while she was learning to drive.
Made sure she knew her hands were to be visible at all times, no sudden movements, ask permission to reach into glove compartment and always be respectful. Lots of "yes sirs or ma'ams". It's not really that hard.
Same. And my kid is nine...
It's was last year when all the shit was kicking off. More of out of curiosity. "Hey little dude, what happens if..." kid passed with flying colors. I'm not too worried about him when the time comes.
At no time did "fuck you motherfucking pig! I know my mother fucking rights. Gimme my phone imma record this shit up in here! No I won't get outta the car!" ever come out of his mouth.
Her story is that she had no intention to shoot the fleeing suspect.

No. That woman and her family will need to go into hiding.

Still his fault he died?
Two at fault- him for being a criminal and her for thinking she was using a Taser
(no message)
Correct, if he complies he doesn’t need to worry about the cop making a mistake.
The cop not knowing the difference between the taser and her duty weapon though is an inexcusable mistake.
This is the truth of the situation...but it will be used to further larger agendas that have nothing
... to do with what actually happened.
Count on it. Guy had a violent felony past and an outstanding warrant. There was zero racial about
what occurred in the incident. She intended to tase him after he resisted the arrest and got back in the vehicle to flee. She announced her intention. It was all textbook and proper until she made that leetle error. Not that any of this matters which is the problem with peeps like BLM.
Very true

I hear what you are saying but I don't think race played into this.
I think this was an accident. I don't know enough about the equipment an officer carries and why it's positioned where it is on their belts. Obviously, this officer panicked and pulled the wrong weapon. It's a bad situation all around but it wasn't because he was black. It's better she resigned but not sure why the Chief went with her. Was it his fault, no, she shot him but when does accountability come into play. Why resist the arrest and not just go with it?
Also a sidenote: this should give concealed carry vigilantes some pause.
If a trained police officer can make this kind of mistake...
Did the officer ask to see ID?
If so, racist.
the money is the same, give or take. as far as whoes fault it is
it's the officers fault. She said she could do job. But she couldn't.
Without a doubt she is at fault. Needs to be investigated and charged if that is
what comes out of it. I

It was not "accidental" it was negligent homicide.

Tasers are on the other side of the body and a often bright yellow in color.
She had time to select the right weapon.
This seems correct based on the information available.
Accidental: happening by chance, unintentionally, or unexpectedly.
Negligent: failing to take proper care in doing something.
If that is what comes out of the investigation, charge her. It won't be
enough but it's the justice system we have.
It didn’t, but it does in how we think about it and the dumbass comments that we make.
