On the heels of the shooting of Daunte Wright in Minneapolis, we decided to examine the issue of fatal mistakes made by officers who have used their gun on a suspect when they claim to have meant to use their taser. Join us as we explore three separate cases that have led to death due to this taser confusion. These are the stories of Daunte Wright, Oscar Grant, and Eric Harris, 3 unarmed men mistakenly shot by police. Learn what criminologists have said about these cases and the issues surrounding taser confusion.
