They really are going through the motions. See you in a few months for the inevitable acquittal that gets her off but gets his family a pay off from the city.
I knew they'd have to. In the face of evidence of negligence/incompetence, their insurance provider would compel them behind the scenes to bring charges.
I've worked at a gun range that also provides training to LEO agencies such as shoot houses, cs chamber for certification, etc.. One of the things we offered training on was deployment of tasers and the departments we worked with all had the policy to treat tasers as a lethal weapon and they should only be deployed under the same justified use of force conditions as you would use with your sidearm.
The flip side of that was that any situation in which a taser was used also would have been considered justified in the use of a firearm as well. Part of the rationale behind that logic was in case something like this did happen. Even if the officer thought they were deploying the taser, but pulled out the gun they'd be justified under the law in our state.
I find that madness. Just because a taser can potentially be lethal, does not mean that it is equivalent to something that is intended to be lethal. What is the point of having a taser at all, if no distinction is to be made?
The law ends where liability begins. Everyone thinks the banks are a secret cabal that runs the world but I assure you it's actually the insurance companies that pull the strings behind the scenes.
Qualified immunity be damned, I guarantee you the city leaders of Brooklyn Center got a call from a very senior person at whoever insures their police telling them to either give them charges or find another provider.
All departments I've ever worked with are self-insured with the tax payer on the hook ultimately. That's the one difference between governments and businesses is that governments can ultimately pass the buck literally back to the people...
Well that and that charge is accurate. 2nd degree manslaughter - due to sheer incompetence/negligence on her part. She fucked up.
No, it's not murder. She literally fucked up. Daunte wasn't an angel of course (dindunuffin, of course) but this is very cut and dry compared to Chauvin.

It was just one day ago that you confidently predicted and bet that her name and picture would not be spread.
Then, just one hour ago, you bet that she would not be charged.
This is now the fourth bet you are making about this case alone.
I'm surprised they charged her, but it's just an appeasement strategy. No way she'll actually go down.
Man, you really are the personification of the proverb "often wrong, but never in doubt".
Will you re-evaluate any of your assumptions if she does go down?
I'm usually right, I just differ on the extent of the treatment. I usually go too sadistic for their plans and too lenient when it's against them.
I'm not even willing to consider that possibility. She will not go down. Women have gotten away with far more obvious killings.
I called it days ago.

Because people complained when cops brained people with batons, so a new tool needed to be found.
Because it's about the laws in our state that govern justified use of force, not the tool used.
And I've worked in insurance for two decades.
