Second degree was lock IMO.
Her testimony alone was enough to be damming 15 times over.
She said the stop shouldn’t have been made. She said she wouldn’t have made the stop if she was driving and wasn’t field training. She said she wished she would have told the training officer to not pull him over.
He was pulled over for a scent tree on the mirror, the wrong blinker being on, and expired tags which they were under direct orders not to pull people over for, per her own testimony.
She admitted the training officer made several mistakes during the stop leading up to that moment.
Wright didn’t provide an ID so the “he had a warrant” goes out the window because they didn’t have confirmation of who it was - by her own words
They escalated because there was a female in the car, who they didn’t ask for ID for at all so they had no idea if he was breaking any protection orders by being around the wrong female. Basically it escalated because he isn’t allowed to be around 1 female so they assumed that out of the 4 billion women in the world it was that exact female in the car with him without asking for ID from her and without confirming which Daunte Wright they were speaking too. Multiple Daunte Wrights came back in the system. They just happened to guess the right one but had no proof it was the right one.
She drew a weapon, even if it would have been ataser, and used it on a person in the driver seat of a car that was on while he was unarmed and putting zero cops in harms away of potentially killing an LEO.
Also against protocols.
She was also very flippant about the training she went through regarding weapons. Her actions make that clear and even more so her testimony after made it clear she couldn’t have given a fuck less.
Oh and she spent 12 years as a crisis negotiator yet somehow “didn’t know how to handle things getting crazy” in this situation and is 12 years as a negotiator never dealt with a situation that was stressful, or at least that stressful.
She didn’t mean to kill him. I 100% believe that.
However, she did. No one’s lives were in danger if he isn’t shot or tased. She was out of control. She was out of he depth. It was clear she didn’t give a single fuck about any training she had gone through leading up to that point and even in a trial against her for illegal use of force she couldn’t have given a shit less about what she would have been trained on.
And in that she killed someone who, even with a warrant, wasn’t given a death penalty by the court and even if he was it’s not on the police to serve the killing moment to him.
Hell, within seconds of the trigger being pulled she is in video talking about how she is going to prison. She didn’t carry her job out - which requires her to report shots fired. She didn’t go provide aid, which is required by law. She didn’t brief any other officers as to what happened, as required by law. She had been a patrol officer for 26 years and didn’t know how to handle a traffic stop that didn’t go “perfectly smooth”. She moved from the passenger side of the car to the driver side, pulled a weapon and shot him.
She deserves to be held accountable for the killing of Daunte Wright. Period. Her badge doesn’t protect her from being reckless, out of control, and out of her depth. She killed him and it wasn’t self defense by any stretch of the word.
Also the motion for bail because “it’s Christmas and she’s catholic” was fucking laughable. She’s also a flight risk. They led the state within days of the incident happened. They moved to a different part of the country. You let her on bail and flies home until sentencing there is more reason to believe than not that she is leaving the country.
Those that can't, teach.
Those that can't teach, administrate.
To be fair, teaching how to handle a situation isn't nearly the same as being in the situation and under pressure.
