| Daunte Wright shooting by police in Minnesota 'accidental' |
as you can hear the officer while struggling with Mr wright shouts taser several times that is part of the officer's training before deploying a taser which is a less-lethal device that is done to make her partners aware as well as the subject that a taser deployment will be imminent during this encounter however the officer drew their handgun instead of their taser for informational purposes, we train with our handguns on our dominant side and our taser on our weak side so if you're right-handed you carry your firearm on your right side and you carry your taser on the left this is done purposefully and is trained as I watch the video and listen to the officer's commands I believe that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser but instead shot Mr right with a single bullet this appears to me from what I viewed and the officer's reaction in distress immediately after that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in a tragic death of Mr right
