Kim-Potters-Sentencing

 Kim Potter Has been Given Favoritism By The Crooked Justice System We Have Today In America

Kim Potter, a former police officer at Brooklyn Park police station in MN who yelled "Taser" before fatally shooting Dante Wright who was only 20 years old in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, Potter was sentenced on Feb. 18, 2022, at 10 a.m. ET (9 a.m. local time), according to Judge Regina Chu. Defense attorneys and prosecutors agreed on the date after a brief back and forth.

Kimberly A. Potter was a 26-year veteran of the force in a Minneapolis suburb and president of a police union. According to the community newsletter, Potter was an instructor in the department, training officers in the use of force, Taser use & crowd control.

EX Officer Potter graduated from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, a small Catholic school, in 1994 with a criminal justice major.

She submitted a resignation letter

Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott Potter submitted a letter of resignation.

In a letter to Elliott, acting City Manager Reggie Edwards and then Gannon, Potter wrote that she “loved every minute of being a police officer and serving this community to the best of my ability.”

Elliott said Potter decided on her own to resign. “We did not ask her to resign. That was a decision she made,” he said.

At a news conference by Elliott, people in the room voiced concerns that Potter resigned and was not fired. The mayor said he has “not accepted her resignation” and that his office is continuing to review the matter.

“We’re doing our internal process to make sure that we are being accountable to the steps that we need to take,” Elliott told reporters.

Potter is still entitled to benefits following her resignation, though it is not clear what those benefits are, Edwards said Wednesday.

These are the charges Kim Potter was convicted of at first

Kim Potter was found guilty today of first-degree manslaughter and second-degree manslaughter charges for fatally shooting Daunte Wright during a traffic-stop-turned-arrest on April 11, 2021. In body camera footage of the incident, Potter can be heard yelling “Taser” repeatedly before she shoots Wright.

Potter was originally charged with second-degree manslaughter in April. Prosecutors added a first-degree manslaughter charge in early September.

Here's a look at the charges and maximum sentences:

Count 1: First-Degree Manslaughter Predicated on Reckless Use/Handling of a Firearm

Maximum penalty: 15 years and/or $30,000 fine

Count 2: Second-Degree Manslaughter

Maximum penalty: 10 years and/or $20,000 fine

 While the maximum penalty for first-degree manslaughter is 15 years in prison, since Potter has no criminal history, Minnesota sentencing guidelines recommended a sentence roughly between 6 to 8.5 years in prison. For the second-degree manslaughter charge, the guidelines recommend between 3.5 to nearly 5 years in prison.

The thing is when I was watching the video repeatedly before she shoots Wright. Why was she holding that piece of paper the whole time? and never let it go and she was saying at the END I SHOT HIM. Why was she still holding that piece of paper at the end and never letting it go. Why did the jurors not bring this up during the trial of this piece of paper potter was holding in the shooting of Dante wright is my Question?

Here is some picture's of here holding that piece of paper

Picture-two of bodycam footage

Here is Potter 1:19 into the video of the bodycam footage at the end when she said I shot him potter was still holding that dam piece of paper why?

Police say deadly officer-involved shooting in Minnesota appears to be an accident.

EX-Officer Kim potter was on the Brooklyn Park police force for 26-Years with training on how to use a "taser" the thing is how do you get a gun and a taser mixed up?

To me, there is no excuse for her getting it mixed up when you have 26 years of being an officer and all the training that you have had. Plus an instructor in the department, training in the use of force Taser use & crowd control.

a sentence lower than recommended in state guidelines is bullshit & unacceptable.

She’s expected to spend about two-thirds of her sentence behind bars. With time already served, that leaves about 14 or 15 months remaining. A jury in December convicted Potter of first- and second-degree manslaughter in Wright’s shooting.

“This is a cop who made a tragic mistake & it was not a mistake she knew better,” Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu said as she sentenced Potter. “She drew her firearm thinking it was a Taser/Taser is lighter than a gun and ended up killing a young man.” she dam well knew what she was doing there are no excuses here when you've been on the force for 26 years.

Under Minnesota law, someone convicted of several crimes is sentenced based on the most serious charge. In Potter’s case, that was first-degree manslaughter, where state guidelines call for a sentence of 74 to 103 months or about six to 8 1/2 years.

In sentencing Potter, though, Chu said the trial evidence showed Potter never intended to use her firearm and that the scene was “chaotic, tense and rapidly evolving … officer Potter was required to make a split-second judgment,” a mitigating factor in her lower sentence, along with the fact that Potter had no prior criminal history.

Here is a video of potter crying?

here is Potter smiling in the mugshot of her smiling

I'm talking there letting cops get less time than a normal citizen if anyone outside of law enforcement would have gotten a longer sentencing 

I'm just sickened by the mugshot above of a cop smiling after killing someone so young I just don't know what to think today we need to fix the loopholes in our justice system NOW.
