This might not be the most popular take but...
Daunte Wright should be alive. He's dead because he was dumb and a cop was dumb and Minnesota law is dumb. Yes, he had an outstanding warrant. The warrant was bullshit. He was wanted for POSSESSING a firearm. That's it. Not committing a crime with a firearm, not recklessly using a firearm, just POSSESSING a firearm. It was a warrant for a misdemeanor.
He shouldn't have resisted. But he did.
The cop shouldn't have pulled the wrong weapon. But she did.
The officer in question, is guilty of negligent homicide.
That's clear nearly every damn time, doesn't matter. From some articles about it:
"This is murder. This is white supremacy. Who’s going to stand up for our ancestors who built this land but are still kept down?" said Jonathan Mason, a community activist.
I love the phrase, we built this land. Theres this magical middle ground where it's either "this land is 100% indian, all others fuck off" or "its 100% black and asian, all others fuck off". I wish we could exploit this dissonance somehow.
So did modern-day Native Americans.
Really good reply, you took my semi incoherent ramblings and gave it a great core.
Black people have benefitted more from American slavery than almost any other group (just look at most of Africa if you don't believe me.)
