The mayor of Brooklyn Center, which is adjacent to Minnesota’s largest city, said the two tendered their resignations a day after the chief told a news briefing that the officer who shot Daunte Wright, 20, on Sunday appeared to have drawn her gun rather than her Taser by mistake.
The move followed two nights of protests and clashes between demonstrators and police in Brooklyn Center, part of a region already on edge over the ongoing trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis policeman charged with murdering George Floyd last May.
A young father who struggled with a learning disability and dropped out of high school a few years ago, Wright was remembered as a good-natured, loving individual who worked multiple jobs to support his 2-year-old son. An autopsy found Wright was struck once in the chest. Potter can be heard on police video that captured the confrontation shouting: “Holy shit, I just shot him.”The car then rolled away with Wright still in the driver’s until it struck another vehicle and came to a stop.The recollections of Wright’s mother and other relatives focused on his last moments from their perspective.
Does she get full retirement bennies after 26 years. Why is no one asking this question?
I don't get why they had to resign? Only the demoCRAP left are the ones having a problem with what happened. I don't blame how the officers reacted because the guy had a warrant. You just don't know about people like him these days!
Not enough
Won’t stick
The police are supposed to protect people, not kill them
Where's the killer?
Accidentally drew his pistol? What a Muppet. Just another trigger happy cop
