The Hennepin County Medical Examiner called Wright’s death a homicide in the autopsy report released Monday evening.
Brian Landers, a law enforcement veteran, consultant and longtime educator and trainer called the footage “disturbing.”
“First off, as a human being you don’t like to see law enforcement use deadly force,” Landers said. “There’s no evidence right now to believe this officer acted maliciously, but it definitely appears to be a grave issue in training.”
Landers spent 19 years in law enforcement himself, and now owns Landers CRT (Consulting, Research, Testimony).
Police clashed with protesters for a second night in the Minneapolis suburb where an officer who authorities say apparently intended to fire a Taser, not a handgun, fatally shot a Black man during a traffic stop.
