The former Brooklyn Center police officer was found guilty of first and second degree criminal manslaughter. The woman shot and killed Daunte Wright in April 2021. 

The murderer admitted that she profiled Wright during the traffic stop and didn't properly use de-escalation tactics to prevent the death of the young man.

Now she is facing up to 40 years in the iron college.

Justice for Daunte.

The former cop's words "I'm going to prison...." was the nail in the coffin. Due to the fact, she did not render aid, she didn't properly use her Taser and her trying to place the blame on the victim, it doomed her.

Yeah, it was an accident. But there's consequences. And the jury had to come to conclusion that the murderer had reasonable been negligent in killing Wright.

The father of one was pulled over for expired tags. As they ran his plates, they found out he was wanted on a bench warrant. When they were trying to arrest him, he struggled and tried to enter his vehicle.

The murderer would grab her firearm and yell, "Taser, Taser, Taser!" before shooting Wright in the chest.

The fatal encounter. The murderer mistaken her firearm as a Taser.

Wright along with his girlfriend would flee a block down the road and end up crashing into a vehicle and later a tree. The murderer would scream, "I killed him....I'm going to prison." 

Prosecutors filed a notice with the court in October stating their intention to seek a longer prison term than recommended by the guidelines. They did not specify how much time they would seek.

Prosecutors hope to prove two "aggravating factors" they believe would support a longer prison term.

Daunte's mother got justice.

"Defendant's conduct caused a greater-than-normal danger to the safety of other people, as she fired into a motor vehicle in which a passenger was present and two other officers were in close proximity while the vehicle was operational on a busy public street," prosecutors wrote in their filing.

The second factor, prosecutors wrote, was the murderer was abusing her position of authority as a police officer. Hennepin County District Judge Regina Chu, not jurors, will decide whether aggravating factors exist.

The jury was nearly deadlocked in the decision. The jurors mostly white had to figure out whether Wright's actions merrited use of force or did the murderer practice in reckless behavior.

The murderer showed little emotion with her gaze cast downward as Judge Regina Chu read the guilty verdicts for first- and second-degree manslaughter. Her attorneys placed their hands on either of her shoulders.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the murderer's $100,000 bail was revoked and she was taken into custody by deputies. As she was handcuffed, her attorneys hugged her. "Love you, Kim," a man's voice could be heard saying.

Daunte's father said that if his son was white, he wouldn't been dead.

The murderer's attorneys, Paul Engh and Earl Gray, argued that she remain free pending sentencing on Feb. 18, saying she was not a flight risk, was convicted of an accident, and citing the impending Christmas holiday.

"She's not going to run, she's obviously not going to commit any more crimes," Gray said. "She's been convicted of an accident, she's been convicted of being reckless."

Chu said that she must revoke the murderer's bail because the conviction entails a presumptive prison sentence.

"I recognize your arguments, Mr. Engh and Mr. Gray, but I cannot treat this case any differently than any other case," Chu said.

The jury of six women and six men reached their verdicts after receiving the case at 12:45 p.m. Monday. They convicted murderer of one count each of first- and second-degree manslaughter for killing Wright during an April 11 traffic stop.

The crocodile tears didn't sway the jury.

The murderer's defense argued that she had the legal right to use a Taser or deadly force in the form of a gun because Wright resisted arrest and put officers' lives at risk. They told jurors that the murderer, 49, meant to use her Taser when she fired her handgun once into Wright's chest, and that her mistake was not a crime. Wright contributed to his own death by using marijuana and resisting arrest, the murderer's defense argued.

Prosecutors argued that the murderer acted recklessly and negligently. They told jurors that she received copious training during her 26-year career and should have known better, and that even deploying a Taser was inappropriate for the situation due to the risks it posed to others. Prosecutors meticulously walked through the differences between the murderer's Taser and handgun at trial, and encouraged jurors in their closing arguments Monday to handle the deactivated weapons during deliberations.

Was justice served in the Kimberly Potter trial?
Yes
No

It never happens in your community....... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how this gun reform is taking away your rights. I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. I don't want hear folks say this is not white privilege. I don't want to hear folks say masks impede their freedoms. I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.

And I am getting fucking tired of white nationalists and their enablers of color complaining about the lack of Black fathers. The fathers are either killed by gun violence, police violence, COVID-19, heart diseases, diabetes, freak accidents and just being Black in America.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
