More training isn't going to help rogue cops. The first thing they learn is you are hired to protect the citizens of your jurisdiction to safely protect the people. As a 26 year veteran, you know where your taser is – it's on the left side holster so you would need to know that you have to reach across your body with your right hand. The color of your taser is a different color from your gun & different weight. if she had analized the situation, this young man had a misdemeanor warrant. She knew where he lived & where they could find him. So she didn't have to kill him & she could have went directly to his place of residency & arrest him without murdering him. This young man was killed by a 26 year police officer who knows better, after all, she was training rookies that day. She resigned because she knew she had did wrong & wanted to protect her pension.
Murder. If we did this to these jackass cops we'll get slapped with murder. But when they do it to us. Manslaughter?? Bullshit.
The officer being trained will never forget this._Ever!_
GOOD
@0:44 Proof that not even the sales machine news media can't be bothered to get JUST the name of a National BLM Case of GEORGE FLOYD right.He got the CITY right! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING that he did not correct himself and APOLOGIZE. It's not 'JAME" Floyd. EVERY person who TRULY CARES about EQUALITY GET's HIS NAME RIGHT!!!!!!! MAKES me SICK you want to ACT like this is important to your news sales machine.. BUT YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO GET THE VICTIM OF A HORRENDOUS MURDEROUS TERRIFYING 9 minute STRANGULATION DEATH that has OUTRAGED Americans and Equal Rights believers around the world. APOLOGIZE! Proof yet again. I'm SO ashamed of these white people who do NOT care enough to even KNOW his name… being white, I have no way to show how vigorously I appose prejudice on this planet other than to say A) I am SO sorry, And B) When I witness it, I SPEAK UP to END it. That is EVERY person's JOB to correct, end or report prejudice unfolding before you EVEN IF A MINORITY IS NOWHERE IN SIGHT or EARSHOT. #ENDitNOW
This white racist is walking the streets free having fun in her new home.
How do you not know?
This news anchor needs to be fired.
Why ruin a murderer's life for a felon? Are you serious? Come out your privilege before you speak. White privileged people won't see anything wrong with this video.
Who is this news caster? How the hell can he come on t.v. and "state" that it was an accidental shooting? ABC is bullsh*t
I think she F'ed up. But at this point, why ruin a public servant's life for a felon?
Hey Robert.. shut the f*ck up you prick! She did it intentionally! Evil!
The taser should be put on a different part of the body maybe over the heart area where is easier to retrieve no mistakes then
She was training a junior officer. Just sickening. Murdered father of a baby son. DMVs across the country are still behind sending out registrations and stickers. That junior officer received all the wrong training.
Accidents happen, sucks but it happens ppl have to stop being stupid
That is wrong. She should not have been charged with anything. Man the system is not looking at the fact that he tried to run. Had he followed simple rules he would still be here. That’s where it starts at.
This is a bias reporting by ABC calling it 'accidental incident. They didn't like that the female commentator is too honest so they mute her microphone…that's a shame
Obviously this is 1st Degree Murder and These Officers Are Murdering Black People Across The Nation Daily And These Sentences Are A Mockery Of Justice. How is It The Initial Stop Isn't Even Determined With Body Camera and Dash Cam But She's Already Received Her Sentence? This City's Entire Department Should Be Held Responsible For This As Well? How Is This Officer Really Going To Feel Comfortable With This Type Of Incident Enough To Publicly Lie Like This Knowing It's Recorded? This Is A Sign That Entire Department Has A History.
She knew she had her gun. Period.
Smh I pray I was not the only one that notices he said James Floyd. How can anyone forget George Floyd this news reporter clearly does not care.
His name was George Floyd!!!!
We hope for justice
Now her children should pay if she kill my son without justification she will suffer like I will be
Training is not going to change the mind set of these so called racist officers, there is footage of white people being stopped and doing identical things if not more threatening and they're not gunned down!!!! Gtfoh
Taser is yellow gun is black and a 25yr vet looking down her arms can't tell the difference
Accidental really? An officer who does not know the difference. . . left/right; feel/color; weight; gun/ taser. Stop calling it accidental. Call it incompetence/ untrained . . .like it is.
She killed him on purpose
it's muder pure muder the gov allmites 😈👮👮 HK S hired killers OH wait you had the right to remain silent scary cuz da killers are still free to kill again gov allmite 😈🙄😡
She new what she was doing 😠😠😠ðŸ˜ÂÂ

It was accidental
The Boss who resigned said that the taser is on the opposite side of the arm that you officers are using (if the officer is right hand, the taser is on the left belt), she called taser using her right hand to pull the gun
Duh….
She really needs to go to jail to reflect on her actions
Accidental?!
How the hell does this reporter know it was "accidental". 26 yrs of training with that taser…it's like testing. Once you are accustom to the keyboard, you can text without looking/thinking. It just come natural.
She committed murder.
