Officer involved shooting in Brooklyn Center

Kim Potter is being charged with 2nd Degree Manslaughter. This appears to be the most appropriate charge with the facts that are known.

I've never used a taser or had training on a taser but my understanding is that if someone is tazed anyone touching them will feel the shock. Yelling "taser! Taser! Taser!" was a warning for the other LEO to get clear so they don't get shocked.

 

This, 100% of the time.

You take that job, you’re committing to being a paragon of virtue and patience. That’s why we need heavy background checks, deep psych evals and personality type profiling for every prospective police officer. All police should have a bachelor’s degree in CJ with a heavy emphasis on psychology. No more military members without the same requirements. Then you pay them more, stop prosecuting misdemeanors. Demilitarize the police completely. Make it a job to be proud of, not just scraping the dredges for repeat offenses to feed the police-prison industrial complex. Cops should be servant leaders of the community, not gestapo.

 

I was having a discussion with someone else in my field and it almost seems like as architects we are held to a higher professional standard than LE.

Not relevant. The victim shouldn't be on trial. Already discussed he had a warrant for a misdemeanor. So what? He was still wrongly killed by police.

 

I would guess that he would be in prison for the robbery if covid wasnt delaying his trial/plea for his 2019 crime.

 

You realize this changes absolutely nothing about the circumstances of the case, right?

Why is it so tempting for a small group of conservatives on this BBS to fall all over themselves posting irrelevant character assassination every single time this type of thing happens?

 

No way they would get a murder conviction.

 

Say his name! Postpone sports!

Are you really this dumb? Do you really think these 2 situations are similar?

 

Conaervative media sources are the ones doing it. We're just getting the trickle-down from the people who read them.

 

I agree this needs to publicized just as much it will only help further the cause of police reform.

 

Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Either way he'd still be alive.

 

Yes, but the synapses still have to fire in the poster's brain to share the nonsense.

 

It's basically the type of story that would cause a huge stir in the BLM community if the victim were black.

Of course this is just surface level cultural war stuff that doesn't really prove or disprove the underlying thesis that the police treat minorities unfairly.

 

This is a nice aspiration. I don't think there are enough candidates to fill those shoes.

 

I am curious how you would feel if this guy was a model citizen. Humor me please.

 

ehhh. Could be down on the brain stem by now, nearly an unconscious response to Black or FOX stimuli.
