Correct me if I am wrong on this. Te Duante Wright shooting

[joetheman]

I listened to the audio of the tape that was played on various news outlets. It sounded to me like the once the cop shooter said "I shot him!" One of the other cops shouted "HOOYAAH!!" (the Marine shout) to which the cop who shot the victim yelled "YEAH!" It was like both were shouting some kind of victory yell.

Did anyone else hear the same thing?

[Delphinus]

1. Gosh,

if you're right, there should be firings all around.

[Tbear]

2. No I did not hear that.

[Mister Ed]

3. Best to watch the video with the audio.

It doesn't look to me as though the reactions of either the shooter or her fellow officer are celebratory.

[joetheman]

5. All but one time, I listened to only the audio.

Except for one time, I heard the audio out of view of the video. Watching the video diverted my attention from the audio. You have to listen to the audio from the longer version of the video. Sime outlets cut off right when the cop who shot the victim begins her yell.
Since last night I have been trying to find the clip with the audio but it seems to have disappeared. There are lots of still clips but now I can't the video.

16. This is the longest vid I can find atm. I notice she has the gun out for 5 full seconds

No way was she holding that up in front of her face that long and never noticed it's her gun, not the taser

[gldstwmn]

21. Agree. The taser thing was a cover.

Hubby has a thin blue line skull for his Facebook page cover. The police station flying that flag should be a tip off.

[radius777]

25. +1. They were probably pissed about the Chauvin case

and out to 'teach a n----r a lesson'. No way for a veteran officer to mistake a gun for a taser, especially having it out that long.

[jimfields33]

4. Definitely not

Sounds like they were very upset and horrified that this happened.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

6. I don't hear a battle cry, I hear "oh wow" or "oh no," and then she cries, "YES!"

They're clearly both flooded with adrenaline, which accelerated the situation. They came into the situation on edge and focused on making a Black man behave at all costs, and went from there.

[joetheman]

7. Every video I find now cuts off right after the cop yells taser, taser, taser.

Earlier, a much longer clip of the bodycam was played. Unless it was recorded by some viewers I bet the longer version will not be played again.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. If you're talking about a cut that plays the whole "yes," it's easily find-able on twitter.

[ms liberty]

11. I just saw the longer version played on MSNBC, not 5 minutes ago

And I've seen that clip numerous times this morning.

[joetheman]

9. You could be right. Still can't find the longer version of the video,

Each time I heard the audio of that I was some distance from the TV but it sent a chill down my spine. Especially the cop yelling what I thought was "YEa" or "YES!"

[greenjar_01]

10. Um, no

They both sound horrified.

[ms liberty]

12. No. The woman cop was panicked and horrified

And the other cops were horrified too.

This was not an intentional murder, it was a negligent homicide.

[Blues Heron]

13. I think it was intentional given that it's not possible to mistake a taser for a gun

Also, they now yell "taser taser taser" when they have a gun out- to protect themselves later, as we see in this case. They should only be issued tasers, no need for every last traffic cop to have a gun.

[2naSalit]

15. In much the same way that they...

Yell, "stop resisting" while they have the person on the ground in cuffs and kneeling on their neck.

[radius777]

24. +1. Like when Chauvin told Floyd to 'get in the car'

while kneeling on him... the cops are well versed in CYA tactics.

[2naSalit]

26. Which was why she...

Yelled "Taser" in order to cover whatever happened next. Sorry but 26 years on the force and she makes that mistake?

Doesn't even pass the initial smell test.

GONG!

[Arazi]

28. 100% agreed. I can NOT believe anyone is falling for the police dept lies

FIVE full seconds she had her gun out in front of her face.

Go ahead folks, pick up any item, aim it in front of you and count to five.

This cop had 26 fucking years on the force and didn't realize? Grabbed the WRONG side weapon after literally decades of experience?

No fucking way. They're pissed over the Chauvin trial and some black person had to die

[USALiberal]

18. Please provide proof this is a common tactic! nt

[Arazi]

19. Agreed. She has the gun out in front of her face for 5 full seconds

No way she missed it

[Thrill]

17. She should have never been a cop

[doc03]

14. NO

[gldstwmn]

20. I will have to listen again.

I'd like to hear what happened after he drove off.

[Greybnk48]

22. I didn't hear anything like that.

She sounded panicked and horrified to me, and the other male cop sounded shocked.

This is the result of militarized police, and a rightfully terrorized black kid who lives in a world where he could very well be murdered by the police...and he was.

This was not a rookie mistake. She's been on the force fo over a decade, and is so heavily armed she grabbed the wrong weapon handle. It's almost now cartoonish, except the young man/boy is dead. It makes me sick...again.

[sarisataka]

23. I don't want to say you are wrong

But I believe you are incorrect.

The verbal and physical reactions seemed genuine and I believe it was a terrible mistake. However mistakes have consequences, life and legal.

[Celerity]

27. no, you are mistaken IMHO nt
