Can you imagine that someone this BAD at her job was considered competent enough to train SOMEONE ELSE!! Honestly the police needs to undergo incredibly in-depth changes cause THIS level of stupidity and incompetence should not be allowed to arrest people.
I think part of the issue is if you had more cops that were not white, they would be able to let them know that they feel comfortable around their own and be the bridge to why whites should be more comfortable. I could not see her thinking to shoot a white kid like this because she would see them as it could be a family member to her. Just my thoughts.
I was thinking the same thing this monster was training other cops to kill and act like you don’t know what your doing afterwards! She could be a actor though but cop nooooo
Now that I think about it .. she has been on for 26 years. This is way before cell phones were common. She has probably been getting away with things like this (but obviously not murder) way before this. She probably even learned from the people before her that you can get away with misconduct. Now we are in an age where even the cops have cameras on them and the people are awake now to this stuff. These ways do not fly anymore but I am sure at one time she was violating on a daily basis.
She said she did not remember anything after she shot him. Then she started to remember once her husband got there. But she started crying saying she was going to prison after she shot him?
"She said she did not remember anything after she shot him." And you think she dont remember anything after it till today, or maybe only next traumatic 20-40mins? :/
The guy was going to die by the looks of his trajectory; how is his early demise any different than Late Term Abortion? ill name one way; he had a chance, an aborted baby does not.
Even if there were no criminal charges Potter would still be held accountable. That’s what the civil side of the justice system is supposed to do. Potter is no longer working as a police officer, she has lost her home and life savings due to this incident and she and her city will still get sued. That’s how the system is supposed to work. But now we prosecute officers criminally for mistakes made in the line of duty. It is the only profession I am aware of in the country where this happens regularly now.
That officer made a mistake. Now let's take a look at the 3 lawsuits Wright's estate is facing: Wright is accused of shooting a former friend in the head, putting him in a vegetative state and effectively ending his life, shooting a man in the leg during a carjacking (hitting an artery and almost killing him), and violently assualting a woman - strangling her and threatening her with a gun - while trying to steal her rent money. The woman and her roommate had allowed Wright and his friend to spend the night when they were unable to get a ride after a party. The two male victims are both black. The female is identified only as "CV" in court documents. The world is better off without Daunte Wright in it.

You're 100% right Little House on the prairie, Ms. Goodie two shoes, white women tears They're making her look like a soccer mom who ran over a cat by mistake.
I'm sure she feels real bad, but there are consequences for your actions. Imagine a doctor using that kind of excuse if they screwed up, sorry I mixed the medication up I had a bad day
@@lucymcjimsey9872 exactly. My grandma died from a medical mess up accident back in the 90s. I disagree tho... this situation wasn't a accident at all. Ever watch e v e n t 2 0 1? Watch the highlight reel. Look at the date
Being a cop for 26 years, she BETTER know where her gun is and where the taser is!!!!! She may have made a mistake but she still KILLED a human being!!!! Jail time I hope for her!!!!!!!
Yeh right bc in a situation where she actually needed to fire her gun but mistakenly grabbed her taser... She might as well be throwing balled up paper wads. Could cause her or her partner's life.

Daunte Wright should have been in prison or at least in jail awaiting trial. The man was a menace (and had a warrant out for his arrest). His estate is facing 3 lawsuits from victims of his violent crimes.
They slowed down the body cam video to show the paper she took from him when they were cuffing him, ended up in her right hand. Then the paper went to her left hand, when he got back in the car. Then she grabbed her firearm in her right hand pointing it a Daunte. Isn't the taser on her left side holster?
He drove off and crashed, and then a whole group of cops surrounded the car. Do you normally rush into a situation where the guy could have a gun with bandaids and lollipops? He's being arrested for a gun charge, just took off with 3 cops in his driver side door, and clearly doesn't give a sh** about anyone else's life but his own. He can still start shooting even after being shot, and crashing. I know you weirdos like to think once someone's shot they magically give up, but that's not reality. And no, HE escalated by trying to drive off when he was under arrest.

Second-degree manslaughter in MN is causing someone’s death through culpable negligence, by creating an unreasonable risk and consciously taking chances of causing death or great bodily harm. How can she possibly deny that she’s guilty of this? Mistaking a gun for a taser is obviously negligent.
But confusing a taser for a gun while a suspect is getting in their car and driving away isn't a conscious decision to kill. That is the point that is going to decide this case
@@Lawlzinator Making a conscious decision to kill is not an element of manslaughter, but consciously taking a chance to kill is. She is trying to downplay her years of training so that she can claim that she was not aware of the risk of death.

She should be held accountable, she's a well trained cop who should know the difference between a gun and a tazer, she had someone's life in her hands and she flagrantly ended it.
Lmao It’s funny how all these police officers are scared for their life when they do something wrong. Every police officer that pull me over for a ticket seems to feel overindulge in power.
@patrick collins "but at the time wasn't a threat to the general public." Nooo, driving without licence, smoked like hell, and with warrant... Trying to fle from police... Perfect gentelman! Are you delusional?
You leave the part out where he was a criminal and he tried to run away from cops. I have been stopped by cops many times I am also black never one bad experience.
This is not an oops. A man is dead because of her actions. As a law enforcement officer you need to be able to tell the difference between your gun and a taser. I fear if she is able to get away with this it opens the door to these so called “incidents” happening more. I will also like to say that the Little House on the Prairie look isn’t fooling anyone.
@Carl Jacobs yes he is a man. A hero?? I think not. She made a fatal “mistake” if that’s what you want to call it. She needs to be held accountable. Shooting someone and tasing someone yields very different results. She’s not fit to be a cop. As a cop you have to make quick decisions and protect the public. She failed. How do you not distinguish between a gun and a taser??
You murdered that young man!!! You can recollect so much except the fact that your taser is always on the left hand side and your gun is on your right. All those years of experience down the drain. You were pissed because he was taking off and you shot him and killed him!
@@kluneberg8952 What about the police being trained to deal with everybody? It should’ve been muscle memory where her taser was. This should’ve never happened.
As a former crime fighter I have always believed in training, training , training. When it hits the fan , your training becomes instinctive. Muscle memory takes over and tools are placed in motion..There is no effin way you could screw this up unless you have not had continuous training..no excuse when lives are in your hands
I would submit this commenter has no significant street cop experience if he ever had any at all. If he did he would realize that no matter how much training you receive, mistakes can still happen. People, even cops, are still human. Especially when officers have to make split second life/death decision in fluid situations. A poor analogy perhaps but they train NFL quarterbacks every day for months on end. They look at film, they practice, they do drills, they throw the football hundreds of times to receivers. Yet NFL quarterbacks still throw interceptions. Why?
she remembers holding a piece of paper in her left hand but cant remember breaking down and saying I'm going to prison !! BS !!!! Even if this was true, the whole situation just shows how quick cops are trained to go for their weapons to resolve the situation !!! and citizens are quite aware of that !!!!!
Yeah, but she at least did us the favor of removing that garbage of a human from this earth. Don’t forget this man was a scumbag who paralyzed another person.
@@DirtyDawg-xy5cp No one should die due to expired tags. And air freshner should never be acted on. Another BS reason to mess with people. His prior situations are not revelant. Yes he was wrong for resisting and trying to get away. But killing him is wrong. She deserves prison.
The weight of a taser is different than a gun. Also with so many years on the job this officer couldn't tell the difference, they are bright yellow I believe and for that split second she should have seen/ felt the difference. I guess the jury will sort it out. Just my opinion.
@@robertbutts9835 yeah noone just pulls out a tazer instead of a gun, would you pull out a pepper spray on a bear instead of the real spray.... lol thats your life right there... So the fact she said she thought of a tazer and pulled out a gun makes no sense, tazers are yellow striped
@@robertbutts9835 she should kno the difference that’s why I says she need to be held accountable but I don’t think she was intentionally trying to take that young man’s life
It might have been an accident, but she is a female officer and she will be the one paying for what happened, male officers don't get any consequences in similar situations
She's supposed to be sobbing uncontrollably, but she still somehow managed to throw out those cop escape phrases: Chaos... fear for my life. Give her an Oscar for effort.
Lawyers used to tell witnesses (mainly, women) NOT to cry on the stand because the jury (mostly, men) saw it as just a tactic to gain sympathy. Now, when it comes to these people killing people of color, this is their preferred tactic.
She absolutely did as most of them gang members with a badge do but times ah changN and they gonna start being held accountable or the whole thing getting burnt down, and they know it.

Dramatic question, tension builds, emotional breakdown, and cue tears, cue sudden clarity of suspect, deflect and deny everything and scene. Worst courtroom drama ever. Lock her up and throw away the key. 15 years no parole,
Murder is murder. If a cop does it it’s worse. Why? Cause they took an oath and they betrayed the public confidence in the system when they betray that oath. Cops, unfortunately, have a huge responsibility to uphold. But then again they are given a license to kill so it’s a fair trade off. A police officer that can’t meet those high standards should not be given a badge.
She's not crying cause she got caught. She's crying cause she knew right then and there she had a gun in her hand and she as soon as she pulled the trigger she immediately said "omg I'm going to prison I just killed him." Funny how she remembered everything up to the hard questions. I'm sorry can't and won't keep you outta prison and I'm sorry won't bring that child back. 😢😢😡😡
“I yelled taser taser taser, then nothing happened then they told me I shot him” She takes no responsibility for her actions. She had the gun already in her hand as she was as saying that, how could she have thought it was the taser if she was already holding back. Truth is more simple then they make it, she’s a racist who was pissed that this black kid wasn’t listening to her and rather than let him get away and catch the kid later her pride said “No l’ll just shoot you and win in court later playing the pitiful white woman”
Now the defense is trying to pretend that this was justified even with the screw up. These cops lean on the I was afraid for my fellow officers safety far to much as an excuse.
As much as she practiced & tried to cry 😢 the fact that deep down she really has 0% remorse is the very reason her body won’t even let her squeeze one tear drop out 📖
I don't think she's faking it, I think she's guilty as much as anyone but I'm not gonna always pretend everyone I hate have some hidden conspiracy bla bla bla
I Have VERY little Compassion for this Lady. She ended a life, Plain and Simple. Mr. Wright should've and could've been charged for his crimes, not killed for them, that why we have the system we do. Cops ALWAYS expect people to take accountability for the mistakes, Well here it is, OWN up to it. Hmmmm, it sure is Odd how Cops remember exactly what happened and what they thought, when it supports their Point of View or Narrative, yet, "Don't Recall", when it doesn't. That being said, She stated, that she "Saw a fear in her fellow Cops eyes that she had Never seen B4". So, in 26 yrs. she had Never seen a Cop Fear for his Life? Yep, sounds about right. They Just ALWAYS state as Much. Oh, I accidentally shot someone, But, But, I didn't mean to. Am I Free to Go? Nope. Cops Sure do have a Vastly Different Viewpoint, and Outlook, or Understanding, when it is Themselves, or One of their Coworkers, as Opposed to Any other member of Society.
Her story won't stick. Tasers are built with multiple laser sights and also enforcement is taught to back for effective and safe deployment. A seasoned cop would never taser a person in a car while with their foot behind the gas. She wasn't calling for taser she was telling the rookie in training. A seasoned cop has enough muscle memory to go to non-dominant arms. How on earth does she get the soul to say these levels of accidents are acceptable? Amazing!
Just by the look if her she already convinced herself she is innocent ...shot him and starting crying because she thinks she's going to jail not because she may have killed someone's loved one smdh
My father, being a retired cop, said, and I quote, “Sure, crap happens in the heat of the moment BUT, mistaking a gun for a taser just isn’t one of them”. He said, “It was a warrant, he’s probably been running around with it for a minute or two, I would have “probably” (he said “probably” because he wasn’t there, and its pure speculation) let him drive away for the safety of my fellow officers, as long as he didn’t have a weapon showing, and we would have gotten him on the flip-flop”. I felt her crying was completely fake, I didn’t even see a misty eye. She panicked over a warrant not “the driver” (she couldn’t even say his name) displaying a weapon and to think it all started from a little tree hanging from a mirror of a car. Illegal? Sure, but, it all feels so wrong. That’s just my 2 cents. I just don’t understand how she didn’t know the different weight and feel from taser to gun and all over a tree in the mirror and a warrant. Her lawyer should have had her practice her fake crying because that was some bad acting. She certainly seemed very freaked out at the scene, as seen on the body cam. I am not a cop, I couldn’t be a cop, so it feels wrong even giving my 2 cents but, something just doesn’t feel right. I do believe that accidents happen but, again, something doesn’t feel right. Furthermore, I’m glad I’m not on that jury. God bless them and all involved.
@@rubenrichrodriguez1146 I was just curious on what he’d say. Cops tend to side with cops. I honestly love conversations involving situations like this. All peoples views matter.
@@pattyjo7191 Yes its OK, I just disagree with your opinion on this case. Wright would still be alive if he wasn't a serial violent criminal and didn't resist arrest. Yes, Potter made a career ending mistake, and yes she killed an unarmed man. She also had 28 YEARS of scandal/complaint-free public service. She panicked and made a split-second decision wrongly... does she deserve to spend her life in prison? Does Daunte Wright deserve to be venerated by politicians/race vulture lawyers like Ben Crump? We can agree to disagree
Wow. Crocodile 🐊 tears! Anyone else think it's strange how she resigned right away after she murdered Daunte Wright? She thought she would avoid charges or something, NOPE. Guilty as charged!
he has been held accountable🙏🏽He paid the ultimate price for his choice and now she has to be held accountable for her so called mistake.. unfortunately we have to pay for those as well 🙏🏽
Don't put this on officer Lucky..this was all on you! They weren't apprehending a mass murderer, he had a simple warrant! That young man had enough sense to know he was in danger and tried to get the hell out of there! That's called human nature folks!
She can’t even bother to acknowledge the man that she murdered by his name. And he’s dead and gone. The blatant disregard and disrespect for Black Human Life is unbelievable! Then she’ll hand over some white tears and she’ll go back home to her family. Because that’s the way of this country they want us to take pride in. A place that has NEVER had any regard for US. So sick of this narrative. Doing anything while Black is illegal. Exhausted…
My son was tased because officers mistook him for the bandit they were chasing at midnight. My son was crouched down looking at the brakes on his car in his driveway. The officer thought the beer in my son's hand was a gun. The officers were breathless having just ran uphill, it was dark, their eyes were out of focus so they could not tell the difference between a can of beer and a gun so they tased my son and took him to jail saying my son failed to "drop it" when they yelled at him. What an excuse. But if they would have used a gun on my son I would feel like sh*ting all over the city. What would you have felt like if it were your son?
@@zoobrizz No Dave, they first sent a barking & snarling right to his face. He dared not move due to those dogs! He could not hear what the officers were yelling with barking, growling dogs! You don't know the whole story. You want to hear it? It will make you sick (unless you are a joke of a cop yourself.)
If she's such a stand up individual who has so much remorse, she would've plead guilty and taken responsibility for her actions and saved the taxpayers money instead of going to trial 😈
All these thumbnails of her crying face vs the video version of her crying are completely different. Truly shows how much context matters and how much we ignore it nowadays
So she grabbed the wrong weapon ..... why didn't the police let him drive away and with video evidence go arrest him later with more officers and FBI agents
It’s funny how she claims she can’t remember. For the rest of her life she will be haunted by this recklessness. This is just the start to the road of hell. Manslaughter 😂pure murder.

It’s called a mistake. People make the all the time. Except when cops make one it can be fatal. All these people being killed on accident are criminals. They could stop.
If the driver would just comply none Of this would have happened. Cop definitely made a mistake but, If kid successfully escaped After just being told he was under arrest then lead police on car chase he probably would have still ended up dead and also injured someone else. Good cop made a mistake 😞because driver made a mistake.
