In Minnesota, a jury has found former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter guilty of first- and second-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright during a minor traffic stop in April. Video from the killing showed Potter, who is white, pointing her 9-millimeter pistol at Wright, who was Black, repeatedly shouting “Taser!” before firing a single bullet into Wright’s chest. Potter claims she drew the pistol by mistake. Kimberly Potter will be sentenced in February; she faces up to 15 years in prison, although under Minnesota sentencing guidelines she could receive as little as six years in prison.
