Minnesota Mayor: Cops Don’t “Necessarily” Need To Be Armed All The Time

Brooklyn Center, Minnesota is the town where Daunte Wright was shot & killed during a traffic stop on Sunday.

The now former police chief says he believes the shooting was an accident as the cop mistook her handgun for her taser.

During a press conference yesterday, Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott was asked by an activist, “Can we count on you to immediately and unequivocally end traffic enforcement by armed police officers, and to halt the practice of allowing officers to make custodial arrests and use of force for misdemeanor offenses, and instead issue citations and summons?”

Elliott told the activist that he’d like to see the full text of what he wants proposed but added that “I don’t believe that officers need to necessarily have weapons every time they’re making a traffic stop or engaged in situations that don’t necessarily call for weapons.We know that there are many other jurisdictions, even around the world, where that is not necessarily the case. It’s not needed.”

So bottom line he wants to make officers sitting ducks.

Just this week, New Mexico State Police released the dash cam video showing Officer Darian Jarrott being murdered during a traffic stop.

On February 4th, Officer Jarrott pulled over Omar Felix Cueva just outside of Las Cruces. Jarrott told Cueva he was being stopped because his window tint was too dark. Cueva was initially cooperative, but the stop took an ugly turn when Jarrott asked Cueva if he had any firearms.Cueva exited the vehicle and began firing at Officer Jarrott.

You hear Jarrott yell, "Oh, s**t!" as the bullets started flying. Cops say Jarrott went down immediately, and Cueva ran over to him and fired several more rounds at point-blank range before fleeing the scene.
