Yep. At least she took this one off the street.

No they shouldn’t.

The issue isn’t even that. The jury ignored the actual law.

Zero proof..in fact the exact opposite was clearly proved…that she consciously made the choice to shoot the criminal. She didn’t.

The jury knew she made a mistake and didn’t want her to get off without paying.

She did not break a law as they are written.

You’d have to be pretty stupid to confuse a Taser with a semiautomatic service pistol.

You misspelled expired registration... which would get anybody pulled over... esp with the mitigating circumstance of just having made a left turn with the right blinker flashing

Or pretty stupid to comment on deployment of a Taser vs duty weapon from someone who obviously has never carried both in the performance of their official duties…

So a camera dangling on her diaphragm can see what her eyes see?

Esp with her extended arms blocking a good portion of the camera's view
The camera captured the officer's head turned away. More importantly it captured him releasing Duante and clear of the car before she fired. That was the important part in her claim that she was defending the officer.

In any case, she had a better chance of getting just 2nd degree if she didn't testify. I hope the interview the jury to find out their reasoning.

Watching the mob celebrate outside the courtroom is sickening.

Too bad all of Minneapolis didn't burn in the summer of his holiness, George Floyd.

This is payback for Rittenhouse.
This is totally unwarranted and amoral.

Technically that decision was made by the other officer. She could have said no but didn’t.

Oh…expired tags, turn signal issue, no insurance, warrant, failure to appear, attempted assault and robbery of a women with a gun, drug sales…another fricking hero.

She made a dumb mistake that was contrary to her training and someone died because of it.

What do you think should have happened?
