In light of the recent death of Daunte Wright, who was shot and killed by Minneapolis police officer Kim Potter, who claims she meant to grab her taser instead of her gun, an officer is speaking out about how it's difficult to mistake the two weapons.
The officer in the video starts off by showing the "huge weight difference" in the two weapons, and he then adds, "I don't see how we can mistake a taser for a gun, or a gun for a taser." He then adds that "if you're doing something like that in the heat of the moment, you shouldn't be doing this job." The officer then states that "99% of our job is communication," and he adds that "not everybody's a threat."
