How Could a Veteran Cop Mistake Their Gun for a Taser?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2021
- 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
So she was training a rookie? Yet was improperly trained herself.
Doing something for 26 years doesn't mean you were doing it right for 26 years.
Noone has anything to say you said it all yourself 💯
BINGO!!!! COMMENT OF THE YEAR... THIS NEEDS TO BE PINNED
That makes sense👍
Couldn't have said it better myself
Know something called adrenaline,maybe try looking it up.Why is no one with a brain calling out that the victim resisted arrest. He was okay until he tried driving away.
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!
Exactly! Make it make sense. That sure was a big, yellow, taser she didn't SEE.
it was quick thinking so it was human error, not training error
She probably panicked and grab the wrong weapon. Probably hasn't got much field experience using a taser.
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!
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.

@Fable Svitavsky T.O is even worse
I’m talking about the situation in the video. I know what T.O is and what F.T.O is. I was talking in the context of the vid, like the fact that she is an F.T.O and actually shot someone by mistake.
*"Accidentally"*
I don’t know about racially motivated but it is certainly an act of stupidity. Theres no room for mistakes in some jobs this being one of them.
The only mistake here was the idiot who resisted
Yeah this most definitely wasn't racially motivated.
In some careers, there is no room for mistakes.
Well if you’ve been in a job for 20+ years and haven’t made a single mistake then your job is probably too easy
Cops can make mistakes, just not shoot and kill unarmed kid mistakes...
Yeah thats why they got qualified immunity but they use it to kill people
Yes and this is one of them
Doesn't matter what job you have people make mistakes
It's called being humans

She shouldn’t even have inserted herself into the situation, it wasn’t her traffic stop.
Hi, so as a military vet of 12 years, and current EMT, I have seen senior members in the military and EMS make worse mistakes than you would see from a rookie. It’s called complacency. Also, you can go 26 years never being in a situation like that, especially with those smaller agencies.
@WhatThe Fook Amen. Time means nothing when it comes to any career.
@WhatThe Fook like your spelling?
@@Tyronebigggums where were his spelling mistakes? I don't see any lol
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.
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.
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.
That's a very good point. There should be a change in build for those things.
This right here! In the heat of the moment a Taser should not be shaped like a firearm, you're only asking for mistakes.
They should bring back the baton. A few whacks to the leg should stop a criminal from running.

My Guys A Savage.
I can't believe what I'm hearing. You can't even work at a fast food restaurant without being properly trained yet you can brandish a gun without even knowing what it looks like? or at least holster it by your dominant hand. And I like it when people talk about being calm with a gun in your face. smh prayers go out to the family
Have you ever worked fast food? Or hell any no skill jobs really, most companies do not train they just hire who ever applies and throws them out to sink or swim. And when you de-fund the police you get just that as they don't have the money to actually train anyone or hire competent officers. You get what you pay for after all...
I work in a restaurant and they barely train the new hires.
@@lauren3010 me too . I wasn’t trained at all . I had to learn everything as I go and ask my coworkers for help !
She clearly was negligent and should face consequences, that being said your statement on how it's easier to work fast food and it requirin more trainin than that of a cop is stupid. Yo doin everyone a disservice...
@@taliawtf6944 I mean America was spending millions on the police and they were still pulling this kind of stupid stuff, so I don't think taking a little money away is changing anything as training for longer and doing a basic IQ test is what they need.

He said not properly trained, this lady was the person training. Twenty six years, and was currently training someone at the time she shot that young man. The trainer was not properly trained; yet she was training someone at the time of the shooting.
They already slipped up
They have to do a lot of training that is not actually ón the job'- to avoid this sort of thing. If she has been in the force for 26 years she should have had her 'muscle memory'of drawing across the body well in check and automatric. As for her rookie. he would or should have had to have gone through in house regular training on the same thing - as well as other protocol like not using deadly force when not required. Very odd times...No wonder Daunte was panicked - 20 years old. 6 years less than she was on the force.
Anyone who thought this woman mistook the gun for a taser must have been in coma for the last 200 years . This woman was well aware she was carrying a gun . I have never hold a gun in my life but looking at the video I can see she knew it's the gun because if you stretch your hand in front of you, your eye's gaze will capture at least 180° of the images around you in all the angles ie, down , right , left, and top but the most obvious will be the images right in front of you and with the yellow colour of the taser I can conclude that she mearnt to shoot this young man and plan to shout "taser, taser, taser just to disguise her well planned intention and premeditated murder. She did plan this perhaps to sow a confusion in the Derick Chauvin case. She killed Mr Wright on purpose. This is another criminal, a crook, bigot, dodgy twisted minded person in a criminal enterprise. THIS IS NO MISTAKE, THIS A MURDER.
The jokes write themselves
@@Koloviv48i Not at all. She was paying attention to what the guy was doing because he was making a lot of movements and you have to keep an eye on their hands, especially because they knew he had a weapon. You're not going to feel the slight weight difference unless you're paying attention to souly the gun and nothing else. She has muscle memory of where to grab the gun and tazer, so she possibly was showing the trainee them and how to use them, what to use them for, etc, and then put them in the wrong spots. You're an idiot if you think she'd do this with a bodycam on ON PURPOSE. Please get a brain
Idk about this, but maybe it was adrenaline, when your panic it’s hard to properly think
26 years on the job, and coincidentally when she came across a black man, she “accidentally” pulls for her taser? LMFAO, adrenaline doesn’t make you lose 26+ years of experience.
they're not always black, he was probably very scared, and remember that its really scary in USA cause people and cops die since everyone can have a gun
@Cedric LAI buddy don't give the police more money they have more than enough to train people how to pull a taser instead of a gun. This was racially charged murder.
how is she panicked while arresting a criminal . thats like me being panicked flipping burgers at mcdonalds when ive been doing it for 20 years bruh its not like the guy had a gun on him or anything
@@cass6449 26 years doesn't mean you did it right.

@@ShiaDaGr8 Agreed. Unfortunately, this mistake killed someone.

@London Martins You can. It's just, very bad when someone's life is taken by said mistake. Very unfortunate.
@London Martins you would be surprised.
She had proper training and the benefit of muscle memory due to not only her years of training but also her insight as a rookie cop trainer.
Maybe she hasn't fired a Taser in the field before. Have cops always carried both weapons? Maybe she has undertaken the training but never actually used it in the field. Someone said a similar thing happened in another city so this isn't the first case of mixing up a taser and a gun.

The number that matters is 26 years in law enforcement and she still doesn't have adequate training to tell the difference between a pistol and a tazer.

Wait hold on the chief is saying that she was improperly trained but earlier said that she was a police officer for 26 years tf.
yes... her being and officer for 26 years doesn't mean she is trained.
She could be rusty on her skills. We shouldn't defund the police for this exact reason. We need cops that know the difference between a taser and gun, and can defuse situations better.
Edit: defund not refund
It’s pretty much the same as when an old man tells you they’ve been doing there job for 40 years and they know what they’re doing. Problem may be that they’ve been doing their job wrong for 40 years and we’re never properly trained and or refused to learn the new ways either intentionally or unintentionally
Dude they got a new police chief I think we can all agree definitely agree that the police system needs reforms I mean 26 years ago that would’ve been overlooked but now look for the past 10 to 20 years police were mainly trained to shoot to kill now they’re starting to change that around the country say what you want rather if it was negligent discharge accidental or just plane intentional but If I’m being honest I can definitely see how she could’ve confused the taser with a gun considering a tasers cops use look like futuristic guns
@@thesheepm2181 Buddy she was training a rookie cop how could she be a rookie if she’s training one?
It’s crazy to think that this kid was only twenty. He’s only a year younger than me and....gosh. This shows a lot of the problems within the system of training. You should be able to tell the difference between a gun and a taser, especially if you’ve been on the job for 26 years. I understand tensions were high, but like that one cop at the end said, “You should be trained to tell the difference.”
Right!
If he wasn’t restraining then this wouldn’t have happened. 🤡🤡🤡
he was only 20 with an arrest warrant and wasn't complying lol

lol ikr she was like tazer tazer tazer when the murder happend lol
the only excuse that is plausible to me is that it could just be muscle memory. sometimes you train so much that one mistake and you could use the wrong system, it doesn't excuse the fact a death occured.
I think that when pulling for a weapon your body would instinctively pull for the handgun because it is easier to access rather than the taser which must be drawn from across the body, I also believe that this could definitely be fixed with more training that we should give to police officers. This is such a sad situation for everyone involved and I really don’t think that a mother of two would purposely shoot a man to death.
So true, people dont really understand that sometimes your muscles memory can fail you when put in such a situation as hers
"I think they could [grab the wrong weapon] if they're not properly trained."

_“You don’t understand, she wasn’t properly trained”_
Yeah people still trying to excuse her lame
26 years but yes exactly makes no sense and do you press a trigger on the taser gun continuously like a real gun or just hold it down ? I don’t believe she mistaken the gun for a taser she needs to be locked up
Most cops never even have to pull their guns throughout their career.
@@mxc99 Its actually easy. many police stations do simulations. When in HS I was fortunate enough to participate in one. and Its very easy to do the wrong thing during a stressful situation such as pulling the trigger or dropping the weapon. She was in the wrong tho and should at least be charged with negligence and some other things, but life I personally believe shouldn't be considered if its found to be a genuine error. I also URGE you to go to your local station and ask about simulation drills and to see if you can partake in one it's easier to understand once you do it.
she needed training in stressful situations...

I thought it was a mistake too but she waved the gun for 3 secs before shooting more than enough time to notice a "Bright Yellow Taser"
Also a taser goes off once she pulled the trigger on her gun multiple times, I don’t really like the stuff about cops being racist and all that but I mean like this one doesn’t really have an excuse, maybe it wasn’t about race but it shouldn’t of happened
I thought it would probably be a quick motion in the moment but you're right she had in front of her for a while
Have you ever seen anything bright yellow on a Police Officer ? I know not ! So if you All can be watching this video sitting in front of the internet and believe that Police carry a bright yellow weapon to advertise oh hey here is the taser grab it and use it on me , then I bet All of you would have grabbed the gun and not the taser !

@@james-ug5el it magically happens, defunding the police causes this garbage
Don’t defund the police then, underfunded cops, underfunded training
@@james-ug5el Defunding the police doesn’t mean don’t give them adequate training. It means spending money on training and on other things like domestic prevention programs, juvenile delinquent prevention programs and other things like that so it can prevent the amount of police calls have to be made so the police don’t have to be stretched out. It also prevents police from wearing to many hats and making them feel like they can do whatever the heck they want to people like George Floyd. Lessening their funding if they’re not using it properly and hiring managers to oversee the funds properly is what we really need.
Ikr
things can go very wrong under stress even after 26 years
its a decision you have to make in less than a second and you cannot think twice so i get the point of calling it an accident totally
One is big, bright yellow and makes electricity sounds...the other is small, black and makes a bang. Not to mention she is seen shooting multiple shots, now I've never used a taser before but I'm pretty sure you don't have to spam the trigger to get it to work.
@@specklefixcabbagebum168 i see ur argument,
0:44 she just made it sound like he was bad.
She was a 26-year veteran, no way she wasn't trained enough, in fact, she is an instructor for rookie officers
probably had the desk for about 25 of those years
Like someone else said, just because you have been doing it for 26 years, doesn’t mean it was done right. Either that or she can’t control her emotions and therefore shouldn’t be an officer anyway, the whole point is to be able to think under stress and bring down suspects
She was probably training them wrong.
Veteran just means they've been doing it for a long time... not that they're any good at actually doing it.
She panicked! All the training in the world does not negate a panic situation.
I do not believe she was racially motivated, but I do think she was not well prepared under stress and she probably tried to show off under the new trainee. Hopefully, the truth comes out!

0:57 she clearly carried her taser gun on her left hip. Muscle memory knowing well her fire arm was on her right . She panicked in a situation that didn’t call for her to take out her gun.
Just hearing her yell taser taser this is from the training. She clearly ended up getting the wrong weapon in that split second situation. I think both of the officers were afraid of what the individual could have grabbed from the vehicle or the vehicle itself that could be used as a weapon. That's why my best advice is never to fight and resist. Better off fighting everything in court.
