Thank God her sentence was reduced! This woman was an exemplary police officer for 25+ YEARS! Never a single complaint against her. Zero criminal history. Showed IMMEDIATE remorse upon her accidental killing of the 20 yr. old male who was trying to flee (as F'ing usual!).

Her initial sentence was absurd and outrageous (8 years PLUS they wanted up to 15)! I lost the remaining faith in this country when she was first sentenced. It was my final straw after all the BS this country I love was being torn apart. I had seriously researched going to visit her in prison after that initial trial. It was so wrong on so many levels.

My faith is slowly being restored. Thank God justice has been served. This was an ACCIDENT by an exemplary woman. Similar to someone who accidentally backs over someone. She will spend almost 2 years in jail, is incredibly remorseful, and will have to live with the guilt the rest of her life. Justice served, finally!

funny how the cops don't seem to shoot white kids trying to flee,
america is a dumpster fire
only western nation that has live fire drills in their schools
and you can go broke if you get sick

sure they dont, just as black cops dont shoot black people either. for acting similarly.
everything could have been prevented by simply complying with the officer. most accidents happen when people are forced to react quickly to prevent other actions. my autistic nephew was shot by an officer because he had a realistic looking plastic knife. he did not comply, because he's mentally about 5 years old. and did not understand, he probably thought it was a game. point is, preventable bad things happen all the time.
if travis did not sneak out of the house, the neighbor would not have reported a man with a knife.
and if the young officer was properly trained or had an experienced officer with him, he may not have felt threatened.
and it the stated case abouve, if she had her pistol on the opposite hip, she may not have mistakenly grabbed her side arm, instead of her tazer pistol.

so Canada is problem free leaf?...or is it easier to trash your neighbors?

She should get a parade and free guns and ammo, maybe teach classes on how to take out trash

Just because the media DOESN'T report white kids getting shot doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If you actually look at the stats on police shootings more white people are shot.

If you get sick in the United States it is ILLEGAL for a person to NOT be treated and there are healthcare programs for poor, disable and seniors.

I was born in Canada and when I was 8 I get hit by a car. I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. They sent me home WITHOUT doing an extensive examination because I had not visible injuries due to the protocol put in place by bureaucrats. I bled internally for 2 1/2 days before getting an ex-ray showing I had a ruptured spleen. They had to get a rush Doctor from the University College Hospital in London to travel an hour for emergency surgery.

I have an uncle who lives in London, Ontario who would have HAD to wait 18 months to get an MRI.....UNLESS he wanted to go the PRIVATE sports medicine facility and PAY for it himself!!!!!

And then there was when Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams came to the United States for heart surgery..........yeah the Canadian healthcare system is so good that people who can afford to, even politicians, come to the United States for healthcare.

The Ontario healthcare system at one time was PAYING for people to travel to the Detroit Medical Center for treatment they COULDN'T get in Ontario.

And how about the dumpster fire Trudeau just started by taking away the right to protest, imprisoning and seizing the bank accounts of his political opponents in the MO of fascist dictators.

Somebody nutted up the libs...
Keep up the good work.

I went through the video frame-by-frame and 4 moments stand out.

1. What did Daunte overhear her say to the officer on his technique of handcuffing Why did Daunte, who had already submitted to being handcuffed by the black officer - wrest out when Kim approached them. Her body cam was not on then - it's from the car recorder. In my opinion she said something (not recorded) that triggered the boy to break free.

2. Cam trick She switched on her cam a frame after Daunte pulled out of the officer's grasp and had slipped back into his car.

3. She didn't have a filter: Even if all police officers may not recall where the taser is and where the gun; as a trainer she would have known in her sleep. Further, the gun was held in line of sight for few but significant seconds before shot was fired.

4. Daunte driving away Tell me guys, would any kid expect a woman to actually shoot; who is his Mama's age when he's not hurting anybody? See his expression.

I really don't care whether she's jailed for 2 years or 2 days. I'm glad she's no longer a cop; and all those who trained under her are disgusted.

A. The only thing in Potter's favor was that the kid was driving a car she couldn't afford - a good enough reason to taser, choke, vaporize any kid who is athetotic and black.

To compare this incident with that of a truck backing is height of beastiality

Sorry people,

It was not even a routine stop however much you may cite the Law on fresheners
.
IT was a training exercise!

Your analysis:

1: Speculation on what Daunte "overheard" and it's just your opinion she said something - with absolutely no evidence

2. What exactly is the trick? Was this all just an elaborate plan from the get go? The plan was to murder and they executed the plan with precision?

3. As a trainer she would have known which was which in her sleep? Have you every opened your fridge looking for something you never kept there? Have you every mistakenly turned your windshield wipers on trying to use your signal? These mundane things happen at a time where there is no pressure

4. What does his mama's age have anything to do with what he can expect from a police officer?

I'm not defending the officer, I'm just saying your analysis is without logic. Your playing of him being the victim because of his color is reprehensible. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there isn't a conspiracy among police looking to take lives of blacks

Does she deserve to lose her job... of course. Incompetence of that magnitude is not acceptable - but to create a bogus narrative when the police put their life on the line when we don't want to, or can't, is also unacceptable

The OP makes it seem like she was the victim here. How absurd.

One has to go Frame-by-frame - and some commonsense!



"You mean there are people like Potter who forget their wallet in the fridge?"

We can argue back & forth - in any case she's already got the benefit of doubt - so piontless

My argument was different:
It was on comparing Daunte's killing with that
of a backing truck with


Now since you post I raise the bar a little more.

Jailing her for incompetence by the Court makes no sense. It's Departmental matter.

If this is acceptable then Department should refuse her resignation and officially fire her.

Of course cops are humans and is the reason I suggested she get a minimum 2 day sentence

and that also only because of Daunte's Right to Life.

You see, the problem is not with being born black; it's being raised white.

This is because she IS THE VICTIM! Daunte Wright took the life of Kim Potter. She showed up for work to make the community a better place and this thug fights her and destroyed the life that she knew. If you fight or run from the cops there is a chance you will die, if you do not want to take that chance then don't commit crimes and when you get caught stand up and face the consequences. She had every right to shoot him, does not matter if it was an accident or not, she had the right to do what she did. That car will kill somebody just as fast as a gun will, and there was nothing saying he didn't have a weapon in the car. She will be out of jail in just over a year, but she will have to live with this the rest of her life, she can't just go home and go back to work and forget this all happened. This guy destroyed her life, how long did he really think it would have taken to catch him had he gotten away? If this thug was still out their how many others would have he caused harm too? Are you going to support people whom work for a living? Or support the low life freeloaders that harm others to take over the streets? Get a clue people, if they are locked up the can not commit a crime (outside of jail anyway) and they can not reproduce either! And yes the 4 cops that arrested George Floyd are also victims of Floyds selfish actions and disregard for others, and the court system is just as guilty of destroying those 4 officers lives because Floyd should have never been out on the streets, and the public officials never should have turned it into a witch hunt to convict them based on public opinion.

She killed someone, period. I get that she made an egregious mistake and is remorseful and her life is forever changed, but she killed someone. To use a taser to prevent him from leaving the scene is warranted. But, that’s not what happened and you can imagine all the scenarios you want for why this man being dead is okay. That’s on you. Mistakes can be costly, it cost him his life. He was the victim, period.

I actually kinda agree with this, but for a completely different reason. and this is from experience.

we are raised to treat everybody equally, martin luther king said judge not by the color of the skin, but by the character.
yet in their community they are taught by their parents and community, that they can never be as good.
because they are not white. while their peers that escape the bonds placed on them.
prove they can do just as well, and better. then anyone else, regardless. (labeled sellouts and uncle toms and worse. by those who choose to remain enslaved to their known community)
that is a cycle that has to be broken with in their community.
no out side influence will be able to change it.

Edited for disparaging remarks.

he is a victim of his own choices,
had he just complied with the officers and not tried to escape. he would still be alive.
we can play armchair quarter back to make excuses back and forth. but he still made a choice. that put the events that fallowed in motion.
could it have plaid out better, yes. but unfortunately, mistakes were made in haste, that can not be changed. it happened.
all we can do now is try to learn from them.
any one that has un intentionally taken a life, that is not a sociopath is also a victim of that mistake, and they will have to live with it for the rest of their lives.

Daunte's mother is white and I'm not going to pretend that white trash can do any better of a job of raising a child then a black person, or that color played a factor in any of what happened in this case. It's the black people playing the race card on these cases trying to push a social agenda on people. As far as black people being raised white is similar to the saying it's easy to take somebody out of the ghetto, but it's hard to take the ghetto out of somebody. Look what they did to the native Americans when they tried to take the Indian out of them in boarding schools. However at one time all nationalities had to adapt to assimilate, some did better then others. Most of what drives the current issues of black people is pop culture. Movies, music, peers, BLM, propaganda, poor parenting leading to future poor parenting, poor money management, disrespect. The black community has to address these problems, giving them hand outs to do so will only lead to more hand outs and abuse. Change the "black culture" what they see in movies, listen to in music, their image that they need to be gang bangers, then maybe they can fit into the American fabric. They say they want "equal rights" but to them that means the rights of whites+ special rights to fit them= black rights. To me that does not add up to "equal".

LOL.. I wonder if you take the time to understand what you write.. while I agree with a lot of what you wrote. the way you wrote can be viewed as offensive by those who actually lived it.

I said I speak from experience, because I shared a similar back ground, of being called white trash, white bread, gringo (no it is not just a term meaning a white person, it is a slur)( this H word for whites was blocked so I edited to remove it), red neck, hick ECT...
I could just as easily have been trapped by believing it was "THE MANS FAULT" that I had to live the way I did. because I was just like others that was raised not knowing better. it was not until I left the fields of california, and started working at a nursery, that I learned.. different.
yes, it is hard letting go of what you know to be true. when you find out that it was all a lie. it takes time to come to terms with it. and some people never fully make the adjustment.

I dont know his mother, she could be a verry decent person who did the best she could. I'm sure she probably did.
for all I know she came from a good home in a good neighbor hood. but was taught that women were inferior, and her job in life was to be a good wife and raise kids.
even people that meant well in the 60's and 70's . did not understand they were causing harm. Martin Luther King taught us to rise up and show our worth as equals regardless of skin color.
while others in the movement taught that we should hate back, and blame others for holding us back and to blame what we are, not who we are for our failings.
so that we could be trapped and be able to be controlled through that hatred and miss trust.
people that are not taught to recognize their victory's will never achive them, and people who dont study their history. are doomed to repeat it.

and if your not part of the solution, your part of the problem.

When Kim Potter was awaiting trial she didn't commit any crimes.

Kim Potter was sentenced, she will more likely than not serve her time without being disciplined for incidents of breaking rules.

When she is released there is little to no chance that she will turn to crimes as a career.

But there are people who think she should be imprisoned longer.

Then there is Assamad Nash who stabbed an Asian woman to death. Nash had reportedly been arrested at least a dozen times over the last decade, with the most recent arrest taking place a month before he murdered an woman for criminal mischief and reportedly escaping police custody. Public records on the New York State Unified Court System website list three open cases against Nash.
Unfortunately this isn't the first time something like this will happen and most it won't be the last time.

Potter could have spent zero days in jail and she would NEVER be the threat to society that Nash obviously was after being let back on the street numerous times before committing murder.

Is criminal justice reform needed???? Heck yes, start locking up career criminals before they murder someone.

Wright’s family denounced the sentence as too lenient and accused the judge of giving more consideration to the white officer than the Black victim.
