Minn. cop blames ‘muscle memory’ after dashcam video shows him shooting unarmed driver:

After pulling over Hovland-Knase, Soppeland can be heard yelling for the suspect to “get your hands where I can see them.”

Almost immediately, the sound of a gunshot is heard.

“Sh*t! F*ck! F*ck!” Soppeland curses.

“Please help me!” Hovland-Knase begs as the officer approaches, holstering his gun to help the injured man steady the motorcycle.

“Oh, sh*t!” the suspect moans. “What the f*ck, man?”

Soppeland begins administering first aid after returning from his cruiser with medical supplies.

“You actually shot me, didn’t you?” Hovland-Knase says.

The suspect was later found guilty of fleeing a police officer..

The officer in question said the muscle memory of pulling a trigger from a training exercise 20 days prior was the reason he performed the action of shooting the suspect..

Lawsuits galore on this..
