Another police traffic stop gone wrong
-
Austin has about 60 vacancies right now, with more coming. Even though musicians are now able to play some live gigs, security is becoming a horrible problem.
Cops are not responding to calls in a timely manner, either through too few officers or too much don't -give-a- damn. Nowdays, they mostly call the ambulances and write up the report.

I am sure Ax has thought through his trolling and is deeply concerned about the dead black people that will result from the pop culture ideas he throws around.

The city's police chief says the officer who shot Wright meant to fire her taser but mistakenly fired her service weapon instead.

I am still reserving judgment, waiting for more investigation and more information to come to light.

I absolutely believe that. Watch the video. She announces she has a taser when she pulls her gun, then she's yelling a warning "TASER! TASER! TASER" to her partner when she fires.

That's what it sounds like, as soon as she shot she said "holy s***"
Then I think she said "I just shot him"

Yeah that's as clear as day. She says taser taser taser! Then realizes...shit, that wasn't a taser. CLEARLY an accident, but I doubt the mob will start to listen to reason now.

You could convince some people that the bad guy asked for it.

Let's say that the officer meant to fire her taser but mistakenly fired her gun instead. Now what?
Imagine for a moment the person thus killed was your brother or your son, are you going to look at this one fact that "the officer mistook up her gun for her taser" and tell yourself "well that's life" and let it be the end of it all?
Change that perspective again and try to imagine yourself as the police captain or the police chief, you learnt that an officer on your force mistook her gun for a taser and unintentionally killed a person as a result. Are you going to tell yourself "well that's life" and let it be the end of it all?
One last one, imagine yourself to be the person who mistook your gun for a taser and you killed another person with it. Would you expect to just say "oops" and that will be end of it all?

I don’t think anyone said that.

That already played out near me, they even made a movie about it. Fruitvale Station. The officer did prison time of course. I assume the victim’s family got millions.

It’s too bad there isn’t something in between Murder 2 and “Oops, well that’s life”. Apparently there isn’t. Too bad. Let’s send the video to America’s Funniest Videos!

Shit happens.
Even with people's lives.
For whatever reason, the guy was resisting arrest. That's probably because he was a wannabe gangsta (money and gun waving pictures). Or maybe it's just the current culture in the black community.
Did he deserve to die? No. Did the officer make a tragic mistake in the heat and confusion of the moment? Yes. Will she do time? Yes, probably for manslaughter.

That is the question - what was the proximate cause of this incident? It cannot be the stop. Police were doing what we hire police to do. So the question then becomes, would this have happened if the deceased had complied with the officers? Obviously not.
Honestly, if it were my family member I would put at least equal blame on them.
