How can a handgun be mistaken for a Taser? – Good question, but the real question should be: What forces police to draw a weapon at all? ?

The linked article is chock full of relevant technical and training data showing authorities knew and made efforts to prevent exactly what happened. This error was foreseen by those persons understanding human behavior during life and death conflict. What isn’t in this article and is never mentioned by press and public protesting excessive force is that weapons aren’t drawn without the existence of an imminent threat.

That’s right, criminal behavior initiates the use of force. Violent resistance to arrest is the cause of every single case of shooting death by law enforcement. The Daunte Wright case is no exception, but absolutely no mention that he resisted arrest has been made since the video was made public. Why is media and public opinion not forcing CRIMINALS to shoulder the responsibility for their own deaths?

Police have wrongly initiated the use of force causing death many times over the years and have frequently been given the benefit of the doubt, thereby, avoiding prosecution. That is wrong and needs correction. Public safety cannot be based only on those events. Calls to abolish or defund police without also acknowledging criminal responsibility is illegitimate. The public should question why media is ostensibly favoring criminals over public safety.
