Kim Potter sentenced to a period of 24 months in the death of Daunte Wright.

The first-degree manslaughter charge carried a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and/or a $30,000 fine and a presumptive sentence of six to eight-and-a-half years. But Hennepin County District Court Judge Regina Chu opted to give Potter a lighter sentence than recommended by state sentencing guidelines.
Potter, who has already served 58 days, is expected to serve 16 months in prison and a third of her sentence on supervised release. Minnesota offenders typically serve two-thirds of their time in prison and one-third on supervised release, according to The Associated Press.

She got off easy and light asf smh guess that’s how it is when you’re a cop and you can grab your gun when you meant to grab your taser and say oops my bad 🤦🏾♂️
Please watch the whole sentencing again 💀
The “Injustice System” protects THUGS WITH BADGES and vice versa! It’s INEVITABLE that the people will walk over their crooked/corrupt faces sooner or later😁😆😂🤣

Wow 😮
What a slap In the face! 2 years she’ll only have to spend 12 months in prison the the rest will be on probation for 6 months or less then she’s back out before you know it. If it’s a black cop you best believe they get 20 years or more!
FACTS 👍
You mean like when the black Capitol police officer who murdered an unarmed ashley Babbitt was never charged.
@James Jones You mean like when a gang of white supremacist tried to overthrow the U.S. Government? Like when order had to be restored so yeah the black capitol officer defended our government unlike this troll scream ‘Taser, Taser , Taser’ but grabbed her pistol and shot Wright unjustly. She got what she deserved and so did Ashley Babbitt!
@James Jones hmm.. This guy is on to something. 🤔
Remember God loves you!!😊♥️

Please turn your life around and repent🙏
The clock is ticking…
The judges comments and tears for Mrs. Potter spoke volumes. That volume muted the words/pain of DW’s family and marginalized his life.
The judge crying for the defendant and Not the victim is atrocious.
Daunte was a criminal and fought with officers and given the chance I’m sure would’ve harmed them. As far as I’m concerned she should have no time

WTF!!!!!!!!!
What a tradegy
*tragedy
…wow..
for killing a cat or a dog, they give much more than that…
Needed more
The judge was defending the defendant during sentencing which Highly unethical because judges are suppose to be impartial.
She got teary eye quoting Obama and his words bafoooon. Did you even watch the sentencing? 💀🤣
Since when are they impartial? Women get less time than men, minorities get more time than majorities for the same crimes in the same districts, and lower class persons get more time than upper class persons.
What ever they do shouldn’t be surprising at this point
And yet the black Capitol police officer who murdered an unarmed ashley Babbitt was never charged in her death.
Ugh, what a miscarriage of justice, she should be given a medal
😲…. only 2 years… really?!

Expect me to care a second about some thug with a record? If it didn’t happen, it would a happen by now.
Kill some one now get sentence only 2 years.. Is this a new law?… 🤔🤔
The black Capitol police officer who murdered an unarmed ashley Babbitt was never charged in her death.
Robots replace judges now.. 2 years only if she said 40 years ill say hmm ok.
The judge should removed from the bench, all her past cases should be audited by the DOJ for possible conflicts of interests & bias Liening towards the police.
The sympathy that that judge showed that officer was completely disgusting and I think unethical but then again she is a Asian-American judge and that is a young black kid😒
