With regards to the most most recent police shooting of Daunte Wright in US, was it justified or not in the overall set of circumstances?

Could they have handled it in a different way from the outset or aimed at a non lethal part of the body?

    The intent was to taser him, so shooting at the center of the body of a moving target is the proper way to go.  The death of any person is typically regrettable, but this cause situation does not fully belong on the police.  The dude had an arrest warrant against him, and he was trying to flee.  He partially set himself up.

    If you're talking about the most recent one involving that Sissy

    Daunte Wright that was an accident the officer mistook her gun for her taser it was a big screw up and she will be charged she will have to take accountability for her mistake it's really a shame that she did not get her taser and tased a little thug Sissy he probably would have screamed like a little girl when the taser hit him

    You have two basic types of arrest procedures in this country.

    1. Active warrant on a administrative bench issue. 2. A active

    warrant on a felony actionable cause. Each procedure when

    apprehension is implemented should have different responses.

    First of all both should always deal with officer and Subject safety

    involved. One should never assume 1 type of arrest is different 

    then the other. Safety first. Always.

    No one can place themselves in the moment. When they were

    not there. And directly involved with the issue at hand. 

    So second guessing is easy. It is just meaningless.

    Training and better training continuing is the answer,

    I don't think it's for us to judge - we weren't there so we cannot make these judgements either way.

    Given that there was no lethal threat to the officer there was no valid ground for the shooting.  A mistake isn't good enough.  If you have a lethal device you must be far better than this.  So fault lies in training, and equipping the force as much as with the individual. They were threatening to use a torture device ( taser) to force compliance which is a crime against humanity and ended up killing someone which is simply a crime full stop.  At least the keystone cops were funny while incompetent.  Ours are not funny.

    was he standing still?  nope, so the answer is, you aim at the center.
