Daunte Wright's Killer Out Soon!

Ex-cop who killed Daunte Wright on her way out.

Kim Potter, the former Brooklyn Center Police officer who shot Daunte Wright after she thought she reached for a Taser is out of the iron college after spending nearly 16 months of the two year sentence. A routine traffic stop led to a confrontation and a firearm being fired into Daunte and a car crash. 

A cop crying trying to get her story right. A man lying in a pool of blood and no aid rendered. Reckless on the cop and the city of Brooklyn Center.

Potter got off a charge that many others would have served at least 10 years or longer.

The city of Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis had to pay nearly $4 million to Daunte's family.

He leaves behind a four year old son. Katie Wright, Daunte's mother is vowing to make sure Potter never gets a job as a cop ever again. She also wants the dirty ex-cop to face federal charges which is still being discussed. 

Alayna Albrecht-Payton, the passenger and girlfriend of Daunte is also suing Potter.

Potter shot Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist, during a traffic stop on April 11, 2021. She said she meant to use her Taser, not her gun, but shot him once in the chest. She was found guilty of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter on Dec. 23, after roughly four days of jury deliberation.

During her trial, the prosecution argued Wright's death was caused by Potter's recklessness, and said Potter put her police partners in danger by shooting into a vehicle. The defense insisted that Wright caused a chaotic struggle that led to his own death.

White tears spared ex-cop a 10 year bid for killing Daunte Wright.

The death of another Black man at the hands of a white officer reignited the call for police accountability and racial justice in Minnesota and across the country at a time when, just miles away, Derek Chauvin was on trial for the murder of George Floyd.

In the days following Wright's death, dozens were arrested as protesters clashed with police in Brooklyn Center, and the city passed a sweeping public safety resolution, though parts of the proposal have yet to be implemented.

By Minnesota law, Potter was sentenced only on the higher charge of first-degree manslaughter. The maximum charge is 15 years, but for someone with no criminal history like Potter, guidelines range from between six and eight-and-a-half years.

Prosecutors initially outlined aggravating factors in Blakely filings, which would have allowed Potter to serve a higher sentence, but said in court Friday that the presumptive sentence would be appropriate.
