Bad timing on her part what with the location and all, which sort of confirms my suspicion that she shouldn't be charged with murder. She would normally be able to plead the fact that she's a woman and should have had no business being a cop with a gun. case dismissed, lol. but they are going to hang her out to dry on this one. It would be ironic if Chauvin gets away with his murder and she gets convicted for just being unfortunately scatterbrained and clumsy.

Mistaking a gun for a taser is not simply scatterbrained... she should be held accountable. Not rocket science.

Neither is being a policeman. But they shoot dozens every year and get away with it. I sometimes pick up the wrong broom when I'm sweeping the streets. Nobody holds me accountable. I get confused. OK?

What I am trying to wrap my brain around is how do you not know the difference between a gun and a taser. Usually the gun is on one side and your instinct is to draw your gun, but to say I thought I was getting my taser is totally unbelievable. Now, are the weapons on the same side of your body when you draw? is the gun on one side and the taser on the other side. I just cannot understand how you cannot tell the difference. Again, I am no cop or have the pressures of being one, I am just trying understand how you cannot tell the difference.

I think it comes under the heading of "shit happens" . I don't think she meant to shoot him. The fact the yelled "shit" right after the shot kind of indicates a gut reaction of a mistake. Happened in a split second. I sometimes misplace my car keys, glasses. Why did I put them on top of the fridge? It's not like she knelt on his neck for 9 and a half minutes.

Excellent point and that I can understand, as we have had that happen to us at one point or another. Unfortunately my 'shit happens' not in a law enforcement environment and in my home. I do feel bad for her though, can't imagine the stress that she might be going through.

Her trial should be held in a neutral site. I suggest Missoula, Montana. They are real down to earth people there.
 
Did you go through special training to sweep? Did you also happen to kill someone because you choose the wrong broom? What a stupid comparison.
