The Daunte Wright shooting


 

From a Washington Post story:


“This is going to be an unpopular statement,” Brian Peters, executive director of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, said Wednesday in an interview with WCCO news radio.

“Daunte Wright, if he would have just complied. He was told he was under arrest. They were arresting him on a warrant for weapons. He set off a chain of events that unfortunately led to his death,” Peters said.

“I’m not excusing it,” Peters continued, “but what we’re seeing in policing these days is that noncompliance by the public.”

 

     Here's my question: why don't the Taser manufacturers design them so they do NOT have the same shape as officers' weapons? Make them square with a push button (i.e. NOT  trigger) shape).
