How Could a Veteran Cop Mistake Their Gun for a Taser?

The Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon has been identified as Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department. "Taser! Taser!" officer Potter could be heard yelling on the body-worn camera footage released by police Monday, which included the moment Wright was shot. Potter is then seen grabbing her handgun and firing a bullet. So how could a veteran cop mistake their gun for a much lighter taser? #InsideEdition

[@Jennacascade]

She’s not properly trained BUT this happened WHILE she was training another officer! How is someone who’s in charge of training other officers not properly trained themselves AND after 26 years!

[@m.holmes4915]

Exactly! Make it make sense. That sure was a big, yellow, taser she didn't SEE.

[@serbiancountryballs]

it was quick thinking so it was human error, not training error

[@almac9203]

She probably panicked and grab the wrong weapon. Probably hasn't got much field experience using a taser.

[@djcherchezlafemme]

Its actually true the American police system has the least training and requirements to become and officer. the whole system needs to be dismantled. In America you can become an officer with a GED, and a total of 6 months training... In Canada most officers have university degrees in criminology and take on going de-escalation training and mental evaluations. Everyone needs to come together to demand the entire American policing system be changed. and hold your politicians accountable! to make these changes!

[@nealdutta4069]

She probably sucks with the hands on street work. But she got promotions sucking up internally because she posses good interpersonal communication. But when it comes to executing responsibilities on the field she actually sucks. She displays this by publically resigning. That there shows that she isn't qualified to perform her duties in law enforcement.

I have been a firearms instructor for more than 2 decades. I have always complained that tasers should not feel, function, or look like a firearm. Negligent behavior which should require punishment. I feel terrible for the family.

[@codykirchner9606]

I've always wondered why they don't use a taser with a button instead of a trigger, so you don't even use the same finger. I also think this is a side product of so many police forces focusing on the ease of the striker fired glock, instead of the safety of something with an external safety instead of a trigger safety. A 1911 or an hk with an external would have never gone ouf in this scenario. Both functions, a button taser and an external safety would go a long way toward addressing these problems; at least that's how I see it. But I'm not an expert. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

[@AbelSorin]

Interesting way to describe it, and I agree. It makes more sense to have to use the taser differently. You can even use the same finger, but if you have to press a sideway button, you wouldn't be able to discharge a firearm if you actually pressed that spot.

@@awokenajin6620 That's why she was yelling "taser, taser, taser!" all the while holding the gun? It seems contradictory, true, but from this evidence hard to conclude intentional murder.

[@awokenajin6620]

@@crrhoades4 she yelled "taser taser taser" because she intended to kill that man and needed a cover up story. Everybody does this. We all sometimes intend to cause harm on purpose maybe as revenge then play it off as a mistake, happens in sports especially. But we never go as far as to take someone's life. She intended to do it, point blank period.

@@awokenajin6620 You do realize how wackadoodle and convoluted your "reasoning" is, right? You just "know" she was faking that bec "it happens all the time"! You're projecting. Like all those white militia Trump-banner waving insurrectionists were really deepstate antifa agitators -- right? I am not excusing rhe murder she just perpetrated - I'm just saying it's a huge leap from that to saying she's a racist psycho who did it on purpose, which u r jumping to with no proof whatsoever.

Prolly wasn’t paying attention to which it was because she was focused at him. When you shoot or tase somebody you don’t look at the gun, you look at the target. She was probably in the heat of the moment and just got things confused. Rip Daunte Wright.
