Without Mother Daunte buying him a car, it would not have happened either. Without Karl Benz inventing the horseless carriage, it would not have happened either.
There is a (nigh) infinite number of "but for" reasons something might have happened. Doesn't mean that it's a relevant reason.
Daunte's decision to resist arrest prompted the shooting. Not the act of the car being pulled over.
You are the one failing basic reasoning.
And I am not trying to exonerate police. We do not know whether the shooting was justified. Apparently, there is body camera footage, so we will find out eventually.
What we already know, however, is that the shooting was not because he had an "air freshner[sic]" and Toni needs to stop repeating that.
That fact has not been established, but hey, you are not bound by the standards you wish to impose on others.
Actually those facts were among the very first that
were established, even before the identity of the shootee.
