Brooklyn Center police chief says a cop shot and killed Daunte Wright by accident https://twitter.com/rljourno/status/1381655535955685378
Brooklyn Center chief Tim Gannon: "As I watch the video & listen to the officer's commands, it is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser but instead shot [Daunte] Wright with a single bullet. This appears to me... that this was an accidental discharge"
Brooklyn Center police also played the body cam video of Wright's shooting during this press conference. I am not going to post it, but it does show an officer repeatedly yelling "taser!" before shooting Daunte Wright.
"You have talked about [the officer] having due process, although Daunte Wright did not get due process in that situation. She needs to be fired immediately."
