Tuesday in the wake of Wright's death, which occurred just 14 miles north of where George Floyd was killed last year.Gannon told reporters that he believed the officer meant to draw a Taser

The same female voice could later be heard saying,"Holy s--- I just shot him," as the car pulled away, police said. "Daunte asks, 'For what?' The police officer said, 'I'll explain to you when you get out of the car.' He said, 'Am I in trouble?' He said, 'We'll explain all of that when you step out of the car,'" Katie Wright said.

She should have been charged with 2nd Degree Murder then have her plea down to Manslaughter.

I'm wondering if she takes sleeping pills or drinks at night. She had to be impaired in some way. She's no rookie.

Who would want to be a cop when it's a fine line of making errors in a rushed situation. One boo boo and you'll end up in the slammer for eternity. Give all the people guns and let them shoot it out like the Wild Wild West. Problem solved. YeeeeHaa! 🤠

A good officer could end up in prison for an accident. An idiot who did everything possible to cause that accident is dead. Just the facts.

MN law has extended provisions for officer involved shootings with Man-2 charges. Here's the full legal standards provided from similar charges in the Jamal Clark case from the prosecutor's office.

How it started vs how it’s going. Why did msm use a very old photo of this officer 🤔

shannonrwatts That's a good start. But nothing's going to stem the tide of wrongful actions by police until the ones perpetrating these acts are actually HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

shannonrwatts DOJ needs to investigate all of her bank activities thoroughly before settling on just '2nd-degree manslaughter'. The timing and location of this crime were just too convenient.

Officer faces probation-10 years max.Arrest warrant for failure to appear. What was the original charge? He had a previous arrest and was out on bond then. Why was he 1st arrested

Now let the charges stick this time. Give her life, she 2took alife. Stiffer punishment needed not just a slap on thehand. Hopefully her resignation was not accepted. She should be terminated, all benefits taken away. All Her property/anything she owns should go 2this mans family

GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE EVERY DAY..WE THE PEOPLE ARE BEHIND YOU

WHY WAS HE PULLED OVER? WHEN A COPTELLSYOU TO DO SOMETHING YOU DO IT, YOU DON'T TRY TO GET AWAY? STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES...YOU TRY WALKING IN A COPS SHOES FOR A DAY

Gotta love the photo they use in the stories.....what is he like 12 in the photo they show?

Well,mistaken a Taser for a Gun ! Like a surgeon mistaken the kidney for the appendix!

It's a shame he died and everything but can we all agree that he looks creepy as fuck here with this 50 meter rape stare

2nd degree manslaughter...great. Good luck with that consciously disregards part. Great, another high profile overcharge and riots at acquittal.

Why don’t you show his prior mugshot photos? Drug charges, unlawful possession of firearm... How many victims did he create?

Manslaughter Girl murdered him.

Murder is murder is murder....2nd degree manslaughter my ass!

As it should be. I can believe the shooting was unintentional but, when you are given the power over life and death, you must be held to a higher standard.

Good!

wbaltv11 If the mob doesn't agree, they will be out destroying other peoples property.

Female Privilege

2 wrongs do not make a right!

Not guilty.

She killed a young father. ACAB

I mean I saw somewhere he 'accidentally' grabbed his gun vs his taser...how is that even possible!?

Great

It’s a start.

She better go to prison

Ex-officer Kim Potter charged with second-degree manslaughter in Daunte Wright caseFormer Minnesota police officer Kim Potter has been charged with 2nd-degree manslaughter in shooting death of Daunte Wright, authorities says. Stop the race baiting. This was a terrible tragedy. But let’s not forget he was stopped for driving a vehicle with expired tag. It was determined he had a outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court on a weapon’s charge. He resisted arrest & struggled with the officers. The culture that exists across law enforcement appears to embrace the notion that 'the only good person of color is a dead person of color'. Clearly, not every police officer represents this 'toxic culture' BUT far too many actually do. Inhumanity in every sense of the word.

Kim Potter, officer who shot Daunte Wright, could face 10 years in prison for manslaughterThe veteran officer, who had been placed on administrative leave after the shooting, submitted her resignation on Tuesday and will be charged with second-degree manslaughter on Wednesday. Good. People with a gun and the ability to MURDER people should be held to a higher standard than citizens. 10 years should be the sentence for starting a police chase. The DOJ will make sure she does not goes to jail, wing African Americans or other minorities in the USA makes you vulnerable to law enforcement officers. It is unacceptable

Former officer Kim Potter charged with second-degree manslaughter in Daunte Wright caseEx-officer Kim Potter, 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter after the shooting death of Daunte Wright. NBC’s Morgan Chesky reports. 2nd degree seems a little light. Keep blaming the individual officers, don't pay attention to the institutionalized schizophrenia and militarism in American police forces. No ! It should be negligent homicide! Because she is a trained and through her negligence she killed him!
