Because in a country with ever expanding, never redacting laws, everyone breaks the law to some degree all the time.

I don't see how charges won't be filed. The fact she meant to pull her taser shows she recognized that deadly force wasn't warranted at that point. That will be used against her. Had she meant to pull it thinking he was going to for a weapon, she would actually have a better argument I would think.
Plus, this is Minneapolis...while the Derek Chauvin trial is literally happening at the same time. Of course she will be charged.

Why?

He had a reason to fight with the cops he knew he had warrants and didn’t want to go to jail that’s why he tried to flee.
So instead of showing up to court for the 2 misdemeanors, he opted for a death sentence.

Not everyone breaks the law by illegally possessing a handgun and running from the police, which is what he was being arrested for doing.
There's a big grievance here, but you're not getting at it with that line of argument.

All I know is that you couldn’t pay me enough to be a street cop in most cities of this country.....

But he wasn’t pulled over for his current warrant. What was he actually pulled over for?

That's correct. I worded things the wrong way. Charges will absolutely be filed. However, I don't think she will be convicted of anything in the end imo.

No tag, or an expired tag.

Define “wrong”
If she meant to pull a taser and pulled the gun then thats a mistake, I’m not sure wrong is the right word.
We are always being told people are allowed to make a mistake.
Like the kid not having registration... just a mistake
The kid having a warrant for a firearm offense... just a mistake
The kid fighting the officers... just a mistake
As soon as the officer makes a mistake in a life or death fight STARTED BY the kid for no reason whatsoever.... then that’s not a mistake, that should be a murder conviction.
The left loves some double standards.

Then write to your congressmen. Its a law to have them. End of story.

Maybe try and aim for the distributor cap

99% of the time the taser is located on the opposite side of the belt from the duty weapon.
The chief said the taser is always on the non-dominant side and the gun is on the dominant side.

It’s possible her brain said “taser” but her wires got crossed and she pulled the pistol. If she really thought she had a taser, this tells me she didn’t aim it at all because it would have been very obvious it was a glock and not a taser had she actually attempted to aim.
I think that's exactly what happened and I agree that she didn't aim because if she did she would've seen she had her gun not her taser. She fricked up bigly and needs to be fired and probably charged with manslaughter.

What he was pulled over for is irrelevant.
If he was pulled over for something worse in your opinion would that change your thoughts on anything involving this case?
