| 1:28.4 | United States economy. All righty. So the news at this hour continues to be widespread unrest in |
| 1:36.1 | the city of Minneapolis, all following the shooting of Dante Wright. Donty Wright was pulled over |
| 1:41.7 | on the basis of a traffic violation, and then he died basically |
| 1:47.7 | because it seems that the cop in this particular incident drew a taser, this female cop, |
| 1:52.7 | she drew a taser as opposed to her gun, mistook her taser for the gun, and proceeded to shoot |
| 1:57.1 | the 20-year-old Dante Wright. This is very reminiscent of the situation back in 2015, |

| 2:09.1 | that he thought he was firing a taser at Oscar Grant and, in fact, shot a gun at him and killed |
| 2:13.3 | him. Dante Wright, it seems like the same sort of thing. And this seems like a pretty open and shut |
| 2:17.6 | case of involuntary manslaughter. The reason I say that is because there's body cam footage. |

| 2:37.0 | not murder. Here is what that body cam footage sounded like. |
| 2:47.5 | So, right is being handcuffed in this particular tape. And they go to a handcuff right and then Wright tries to break free, tries to get in the car, |
| 2:57.6 | is resisting arrest, but the punishment for resisting arrest is not being shot, obviously. |
| 3:02.6 | The officer withdraws a gun and proceeds to... |
| 3:17.4 | Okay, and you can hear the cop there shout, taser, taser, taser, taser. |
| 3:21.9 | Right? She says taser, taser, tas. She obviously thought that she was firing a taser at Dante Wright. |
