How could a cop mistake a gun for a Taser? Cause they look similar. Why are Tasers shaped like guns? Cause that's what police wanted. Fascinating thread by my colleague Curtis Gilbert on the evolution of the Taser.

The Minnesota police officer charged today with killing Daunte Wright isn’t the first cop to mistake a gun for a Taser. It happens every year or two. Departments have tweaked policies to reduce the confusion, but one thing hasn’t changed: Tasers are still shaped like guns. https://t.co/MAUBxVkBI1
