Mother Of Daunte Wright: ‘I Never Imagined This Would Happen’ | NBC News NOW
Wait! You never imagined with the lack of upbringing duante had that this would happen? Did his mother not watch his channel? Did she forget about him smashing a gun against a FEMALE'S head to rob her that daunte did?
That boy was asking to be killed and it's truly sad his parents didn't raise him better or take more interest in his life to prevent this!
I gave no sympathy for this boy or his parents what so ever.
You knew stupid mom
Either way these police officers not gonna get away of what they did. IJS! This country is so messed up. I’m sorry but it’s so hard for me to put my trust in a police officer now. Especially a white police officer. IJS!
JUST REMEMBER: IT HAS BEEN DECLARED OPENNED SEASON ON RIOTERS. BE SAFE. STAY HOME. BEHAVE.
What was a 13 year old doing with a weapon?
Raising a little criminal thug like you did how would you not know something like this was eventually going to happen. Is a little George Floyd in the making.
The kid was a criminal
What an outstanding young man ! I think they need to start putting parents in jail if they neglect their kids. Thanks to 2 parents, 3 people lost their lives. The kid, the cop that shot him, and the police chief ! Good job parents !
The guy committed armed robbery, choked a woman over money, possessed unlicensed firearms, failed to turn up to court and ran away from police. And you never expected this to happen. REALLY?
I mean come on. You taught and raised the kid. You should know about all of this, what his personality is like and his criminal record. Yet somehow you didn't expect this to happen? That's nuts. What terrible parents. These parents should be held just as accountable for his death than the police officer that made a mistake.
“She’s (Rashida Tlaib) calling for ‘no more policing’ or ‘incarceration,’ the criminals will be on the honor system? I mean, I thought defund the police was a terrible slogan, but no police? This is always  I mean, I’ve done many editorials on this, the Democrats’ Achilles’ Heel, common sense, common sense. You strike people as not having any common sense when you say things [like this].â€ÂÂ
—Bill Maher on 'Real Time' 16 April 2021
So if a cop kills a black man that’s something to get millions for. But a black on black gang slaying is ok?. He was involved. He was in the streets. Gotta wonder if she tried to save him
Well I'm sorry ur son had a record and resisted, prayers
Their kid is the one to be held accountable, he was a damned thug.
THOSE POLICE OFFICERS MADE SO MANY MISTAKES…FIRST, YOU HAVE THEM STEP AROUND TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE FOR THEIR SAFETY. SECOND, YOU HAVE THEM EMPTY THEIR POCKETS AND DO A PAT DOWN AGAIN FOR SAFETY…THIRD, PUT THEM IN HANDCUFFS….YOUR NOT UNDER ARREST, WE ARE PLACING YOU IN HANDCUFFS FOR YOUR SAFETY AS WELL AS OURS. THEN YOU CONDUCT AN IDENTIFICATION SEARCH ETC…IF THEY HAD DONE THAT IT WOULD HAVE ELIMINATED THE NEED FOR LETHAL FORCE…SERIOUSLY, WHAT KIND OF TRAINING ARE POLICE OFFICERS RECEIVING IN THE ACADEMY…SHOOT FIRST AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT…WTF?
Daunte Wright 💀was no Angel wait ðŸ¤â€Âhe is now
at this juncture in our countries time of great challenge ,and crisis, maybe the police department can incorporate an ethical mandate to only employ officers who have a better record of dealing with the citizens/public. Officers that DO take the ethical standards of their department more seriously and adhere closely to them . To have all this heartache, especially for mom's released into our psyche is not conducive to our having to deal with an extra burden of stress. These are probably not rare instances of hostility from the police , but now that they are being recorded more often, maybe its time to look at how we as citizens have rights to be treated with respect and our lives are just as important as theirs. No one wants to ever tell the police what to do , no one ever wants to have to deal with an officer of the law , but when that HAPPENS as taxpayers we want to feel confident that we are cared for with the highest form of respect, not targets to get shot at.
It was an accident. Get over it.
No idea how it happened? Cmon lady, yes you do. Just look at his social media posts and you can instantly tell he would meet a violent end somehow. This is tragic, but to say this involves race somehow is asinine. Stop lying about what’s really happening.
Daunte Wright had open warrant for choking, threatening to shoot woman for $820. Fact check!!
Why is this Mr Crump dude show up at all these media interviews? Is the only one that can represent these people? You have to ask your self is there a agenda going on . The enemy is the war machine called the media they show us little clips of the situation then you go online and see all footage and think to yourself well how come the media didn’t cover that part. It we the people against the media and they need to be stopped. It’s time folks wake the F up.
This dysfunctional family won the lottery and will be treated like celebrities till their last days on earth. They'll do the talk shows and give emotional speeches at the Rev. Al Traveling Hate Show. Had the family shown an ounce of concern and love for this kid during the past 20 years, he may have been able to contribute to something apart from the ever-increasing racial divide in this country.
ðŸ™ÂÂ
He shouldn’t of jumped into the car to get away.
Mother did a bad job raising him
Why did he have an illegal 45? Why did he have a warrant for his arrest? Why did he not attend court? Why did he flee arrest? Why did he have a previous conviction for armed robbery? Stop acting like he was a pillar in the community.
He had a warrant for choking and threatening to shoot a woman. Stop making him out as some innocent kid. Maybe in pre school we need to teach these kids the word COMPLY !!!!!
He was almost not resisting arrest
This was not a black man.
Furthermore, I find it funny how black men are creating biracial children with the same women that are sitting up in comment sections all over social media defending the murder of a man that is half white. This is not a Black women’s fight
I DON'T KNOW WHEN HUMAN BEING ARE GOING TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO COLOR…HER MUM IS WHITE!! This boy was white and black…what is going on in human's mind???😤😤😤😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨rip little boyðŸ™ÂÂâ¤
Regardless of him being on the wrong path, him being gun down is totally senseless !! Period. No mother is perfect, after a certain age a mother only has so much control to dictate her child’s every move . Hence why we all live & learn #LIFE
He was stopped for EXPIRED TAGS and then was being ARRESTED for an OUTSTANDING WARRANT FOR AGGRAVATED BURGLARY. He wouldn't have been accidentally shot or tazed if he wasn't RESISTING ARREST.
Should have complied. It's not neuroscience. Why was he in trouble in the first place. PS it's spelt DANTE. 🤪ðŸÂ»🇦🇺
Where's the father…?
