What's her defence?
Daunte heard her say, "Tazer" misleading use of force. Surprised her coworkers

Kimberly Potter Found Guilty On 1st and 2nd Degree Manslaughter (Max 15 Years in Prison… this will never happen to a Blue Line Gang member)
I wonder what the Verdict would have been if the Cops Investigated themselves? No Wrongdoing & all according to Policy! 2 week paid Vacation to Hawaii!
I am tired of Cops Killing Citizens & Dogs and getting away with it! It is standard practice for the cops to Lie & Kill!
Sentencing Friday February 18, 2022
Trying to run over the cops is punishable by death. Dante "wrong" played stupid games and he WON a stupid prize. Say hello to satan for me mr. Dubmte wrong.
Once your children be come young adults, the decision that they make we as parents have to pray that they make the right choice. Yes .D.W made a few bad choices but he didn't have to die for it, he would have to face the consequences of his behavior not like this. Kim potter didn't mean to kill him but she did so she needs to be charged. What would you think would happened if someone accidentally shoot and killed a police officer, they would be going through this same as Kim potter……
Ain't no way bruh!!! She said what she said on video which was I just shot him i grabbed the wrong f***ING gun meaning taser!!!! Enough said… Tasers DON'T KILL!!!
Alex Baldwin. Accidentally Shoots innocent mom now on talk shows. Cop accidentally shoots a criminal facing life in prison. What's wrong with this picture?
People support retrying her if we get a hung trial. The body cam videos show the reality of the incompetence of the death. The Police Union lawyers got a lot of nerve blaming the victim for his own death. There was no reason to use deadly force on that young guy. Body cam footage proved that. Guilty.
Key takeaway number 1: Daute Wright was a loser, a violent felon, and a menace to society. Translation: a left wing martyr, hero, and icon. Murals and statues forthcoming.
They should prosecute the dead guy. If he had not been an idiot she would be fine.
No driving the narrative here 👀 " Blaming the victim?" Pop culture term? Really? This is journalism?
Lock her up. The world has enough incompetent female cops!
Having That "Piece Of Paper"In Her Left Hand During The "KAOS" Was"WRECKLESS NEGLIGENCE!!"PERIOD!!! ⚖️Kim Potter GUILTY⚖️😡😤
Her Biggest Mistake She Made "Calling" Taser Taser Taser. She should have yelled ""He grabs a Gun GunGun. And then have to shoot. He did this to himself. Heavy resistance, back in the car to possibly "" grab a gun. and flee. Kim Poten is Innocent. She was just doing her job. Now she must pay. And be nailed to the cross. because the state is afraid of black lives matter protests
I just farted 💨
It's the law of the land she must be punished
She's guilty it's should have been decided by now
Key take away, sue murder a man because she is part of a trigger happy culture that for way too long didn’t suffer any consequences for their crimes, but there is cameras all over the place thugs in blue.
Jury been out too long she will walk
It wasn’t a mistake loll sorry I wasn’t born yesterday
If she had shot him on purpose,
it still would have been justified!
Thanks for working his race into the headline, though. 👌🏻
INCOMPETENCE is no excuse…. simple.
Hmmm maybe an acquittal would be a good thing … 🤔
Because it would say that authorities can now shoot people willy nilly by just yelling taser .
And it's probably a good thing considering all the people out there resisting the covid vaccinations.
Officer > Can I see your vaccine card
You > Screw you , I'm never getting vaccinated .
Officer > Taser Taser Taser … B@m
You > Dead and not able to infect people anymore.
Society > Give that officer a medal 😛
Oh I totally saw Daunte pull Kims gun out of her holster , and shoot himself .
Anybody else see that key piece of evidence ?
Sheesh , why oh why is photo shop not allowed in court proceedings … things would be so much easier 😛
But…she wasnt trying to use deadly force IF she was trying to grab her taser and fire it…That's out of her own mouth.
She held that gun directly in front of her, for a full eight seconds before pulling the trigger. She knew exactly what was in her hand because she could see it. Her taser is yellow and plastic. Her gun is black and metal. She's guilty as sin.
Set me free, "I'm white."
Shooting Daunte was a mistake or her behalf, we can see that clearly but because intention doesn’t matter in manslaughter cases it can go one way or another. Guilty verdict returns if the jury believes her use of force was unjustified and she negligently fired her gun resulting in Daunte’s death. Acquittal if the jury find her use of force justified in that moment, even if Kim’s intention was not to shoot him with a gun maybe an reasonable officer would have. The jury has a big decision to make.
In as much as this could have been a mistake, my issue here is why are US police so quick to try and use force else where in the world police would have let the driver go and apprehended him at his home or later not to resort to deadly force for a routine stop.
The state attorney is a fool
I think one of the keys to winning this case is to show that there could have been some other element or factor that lead Potter to mistakenly pull her gun rather than her taser other than "Human Error". That being the case, I would have done a complete medical history and physiological work up on Potter looking for any and all medical or physical factors that could account for her actions. Some of the following I would have investigated would have been:
Did Potter have Covid?
Give Potter and MRI – Brain cancer? Concussion? Did Potter hit her head recently no matter how slight? – Any head injury of defect could effect judgement.
Was Potter taking any drugs or medication and if so, what….side effects from any and all drugs and medications?
Nerve Conductor tests – Any nerve defect in the hands or arms or the brain could have resulted in Potter reaching for the wrong weapon.
What food did Potter eat that day? Any side effects from the food she ate.
Heart Testing – Any heart condition could have lead to the mistake.
Any alcohol consumption?
After looking into all the medical reasons, I would focus all the nonmedical factors like environmental. Could have cooler weather have affected tactile sense in hands resulting the mistake?
Gee, all the white on black trials as a result of an election year are coming to a close. What will people complain about until 2024, when Black vs white hits the media again, and BLM resurfaces? Pay attention long enough, and there is a clear pattern.
Um but we can tell who took the idiot vaccine and who did not. For you follow the crowd Moronic Omnicron Virus Spreaders. Solution was simple. She is training an officer. Um do cops not tell you…"Turn the ignition off and place your keys on the roof of your car? Um when it doubt watch Gabby Petitos cop cam video. Had they followed protocol and precedure Dante would not be dead. That's FACTUAL. So Guilty on all charges. Total Gross Negligence. All they had to do was order him to turn his own car off. A duh. Place the keys on the roof.
Why Prosecution did not bring this up Idk. Maybe they want the jurors to remember something. Use common sense was repeated. If the cops felt he would evade after finding his warrant or even not…must cops at traffic stops tell you TURN it off place keys on roof. Ask Rittenhouse lawyer. Oh my bad. He innocent too. Guns kill. When will you people learn?
i think she should get life but made to serve ten
Crybabys attack, you sjw cancel freaks make Idiocrazy real, oh it is.
I bet in the US is a kindergarden named buttfxxxrs, what a messed up society, mental enfeeblement through prosperity and ignorance
Go make another chopchitschow
Oh
Rittenhouse tears.
Another Americas Got Talent hard luck story for votes.
Pink sobbing for pink sympathy.
Guilty
This is 2021, she's going to spend the rest of her life in prison.
Key take away?
Don't be a criminal and fight women cops and you won't win deserved prizes.
She screwed up and must suffer the consequences.
This is tragic for everyone. I feel for the family of Daunte Wright. Daunte is one of many young kids in our society troubled with the law at a young age. What are the states and the local level doing to help our youth like Duante. I know parents play a big role and need to take responsibly but also have personal struggles. As a Mexican American my community struggles along with the African American community in rough neighborhoods across the country. From drugs and crime these issues impact many communities across the country. If feel for Kim Potter a 25 year veteran and Duante a trouble youth that needed.
The jury will decide on two factors, neither related to the deceased: Recklessness and/or culpable negligence. The culpable negligence means that she caused "unreasonable risk" and "consciously" took a chance of causing death to Wright while using a firearm. The jury is going to have a hard time with this charge because Potter did not intend to use her firearm. However, she had not done the required daily testing of her taser and that may have left her with little knowledge of its whereabouts in the heat of stress. If you check your taser everyday you consciously become aware that it is close to your non-dominant hand. The learning becomes automatic. I doubt she ever checked her taser much. She got sloppy after all her years in the force.
WHAT IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND,, BLACK 18 YEAR OLD SHOOTS A WHITE POLICE WOMAN BY ACCIDENT,, TASER, TASER, GETS HIS GUN AND SHOOTS.
18 YEARS OLD,, AND NO 25 YEARS OF TRAINING, WOULD HE GO FREE… 3 POLICE CANT STOP A SKINY BOY, BUT THEY CAN SHOOT HIM.
Not Guilty.
Daunte Wright did cause his own death. Had he not driven a car illegally, resisted arrest and tried to flee he would be alive. So he caused his own death!
Does anyone know how cold it was outside that day?? It was April in Minnesota. They jury will be allowed to handle the taser and the gun. However, they will handle the items in a WARM environment, not a COLD environment like Potter was exposed to. The difference in the temperature might lead to a difference in tactile contact with a taser and gun possible resulting a misgrab.
