  1. Oops (Kim Potter) Murdered a Pesky Citizen… Well it is OK… I have Immunity! I should have paid more attention in Cop School! The Gun weights about 3.5 pounds and goes bang… the taser weight less than 1 pound and goes zap! I got it now!
    Accident or not, her negligence killed someone and she MUST be held accountable for it… Manslaughter, A.K.A. Criminally Negligent Homicide
    Here is a little Clue… when they get out of the car… Close the GD Door!
    Let the Copsplain Cover-Up Begin!
    Quick… Mute the Body Cameras!

  2. It's tough being a cop. It's a risky profession. One mistake, and that could be the end for either the cop or the person of interest. Training produces muscle memory. Muscle memory is an automatic response. One quarter of a second could determine the outcome.

  3. there's not really much of an excuse for accidentally pulling a gun instead of a tazer, but ya know she wouldn't have even had to try to taze him if he didn't try to evade arrest…

  4. Whether accident or not, she’s not a civilian. She’s a trained and experienced officer, and she is responsible for her firearms at all time, even more so than a regular civilian.

  5. It was clearly an accident. Daunte wright is a victim of his own stupidity. There's consequences for breaking the law and trying to flee. Stop blaming the police instead of the criminal. Everyone of these cases stems from the behaviour of the criminal. So sick to death of violent, reoffending criminals being the victim.

  6. And why did he disobey orders and resist arrest? So sad a history criminal died because they had a warrant and resisted arrest instead of reaping what he sowd

  7. It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again:

    “Why the hell would anyone resist arrest from an armed officer?????”

  8. if i am under stress adrenaline and i accidently kill someone I'm still guilty of murder. just because you a police officer doesn't excuse this. It actually makes your argument for feigning ignorance weaker. ive walked this planet for along time and have had to use deadly weapons to defend myself…you know what..during all that time i never mistook which weapon was where on my body because it was muscle memory it was engraved in my brain from training with them regularly and carrying them for years just like it was in hers…she knew full well she pulled the lethal out. our lives are not as worthless as allowing this, our lives matter as much as those barn animals screaming for officer safety while pointing a loaded gun at your head… this will not be acceptable ever.

  9. How is this a question? Its manslaughter. Period. Using the wrong gun is pure negligence directly causing death. Manslaughter. Clear and simple.

  10. Seems like that officer was more concerned about going to prison than taking a precious life away from his loved ones. Too many families are destroyed here. 😭

  11. He was stupid which led to his death. She was negligent in his death. Taser gun needs to be ban if cops can’t tell the difference.

  12. Potter did not know the difference between a taser and a glock after 25 years of being a cop. She could not tell the difference in color nor weight nor left side or right side of hip. How is that possible?

  13. This is why we need to pay our cops more. It's too high risk and stressful. You'd have to be stupid to want to be one these days.
