City manager who called for due process in shooting FIRED by mayor

[rayg]

Before I comment on this I would like to know if the firing of the manager was the city attorney's recommendation and/or approval and not just the mayors decision.

Brooklyn Center city manager is FIRED by the mayor after the city manager had called for 'due process' for the cop who 'accidentally' killed Daunte Wright

The mayor then quickly took the police department under his control and the Brooklyn Center City Council voted to fire Boganey, a longtime city employee, during an emergency meeting.
Brooklyn Center Manager, Curt Boganey, the city manager has been fired after he said the police officer who killed a 20-year-old man should receive 'due process'

Brooklyn Center Mayor, Mike Elliott, fired manager Boganey right away and took the police department under his control. He had taken office in 2019, and is the first person of color to serve as mayor

Kimberly A. Potter has been confirmed as the officer who killed Daunte Wright
Wright, 20, was shot dead on Sunday afternoon at a traffic stop, as Potter was training a new officer and drew what the police force said she believed was her taser.

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said it was 'an accidental discharge'

Everyone knows the score. The chances are slightly higher the lady cop will get thrown under the bus to serve the other agenda, that women have no biz being LEOs. But mostly they'll say, honest mistake, coulda happened to anybody. Irony is she's a solid veteran of the job, was a training officer. Chauvin was breaking in a new guy too on the shift where George Floyd died.

I'm having this idea where there needs to be a max time in the job. Say 12 years. Long enough to become proficient, get some good years of prime service, then return to civilian status before getting sloppy/lazy/jaded. Make an exception for the top performers who get promoted to senior positions.

take a deep breathe,


maybe a drink of water,


then re read what you posted above,


there is a fundamental problem with what you posted, and it is a common theme in a lot of bad cop/ good cop/ whatever comments and news articles, (not just you, btw,, but in general, )


think about it ,

I'll be back,

If you disagree with a post then by all means explain the disagreement.

Alternatively I'll invite you to self-reflect on your call for self-reflection, and see how that goes over (probably not well).

The lady resigned, probably a decent human being, honest mistake, but the authorization for deadly force ought to carry consequences for fatalities like this. We can't keep blaming the civilians every time a mistake like this happens.

strike one,, you missed the point,


so repeat,

read what you posted,

pretend it was not you typing, just read, carefully, what it in type,


again, it's not a slam against you, lots of folks make the same mistake or rather forget something important,
and it is quite obvious

Something that seems to be missing in all this is that the man who was shot, had a warrant out for his arrest and then tried to flee the site. To some exent he contributed to his own death. Had he not resisted arrest, there would have been no need to try to use a taser. That reality however does not fit the political agenda and wil not really surface unless (or more likely, until) the Defence raises it during a trial.

BINGO!!! A mistake happened and it was recorded on the audio. No, there should not have been a shooting. There would have been no accident if he wasn't resisting and trying to flee from police custody.
