Don't spend nights thinking about what you're going to say, spend nights thinking about the mistakes you made raising the punk!!!
It had to be said
Wow ... smh
@@joro241 it had to be said
Such as her frequent arrests
Kim’s parents failed to raise her. She thought shedding some crocodile tears and make a whole scene rolling on the ground will be her green card out of jail.
How's the mom doing whose son was shot by Daunte and left to die?
Inconvenient.
and now Caleb Livingston is dead.
The judge looks uninterested..and when the mother said give her the max did u see the judges movement..like the mother request was the most horrific request. The judge already kw she wasn't giving her sh!t...
Her son wasn’t an angel. He left another kid paralyzed by his own actions.
The officer, mistakenly pulled out the gun. She clearly shouldn’t have been a patrol officer, however that’s the way it is sometimes.
I dnt think anyone is claiming he's an angel..I dnt kw him to say either way . Bt that still does not give her a pass on her killing him.. why was she just worried about herself .. and I hope u are never put in that mother's position
@@shellybelly01 I agree that she was more worried about going to prison than potentially have give the kid.
However, speaking from a a psychological standpoint, judging by the past two years with the public’s resentfulness of law enforcement, inevitably, she would be more scared for her sack. Humans are very selfish… it’s a proven fact.
I think judge knew about Dauntes previous actions and the fact he shot a young man into head and left him at vegetative state.
There is another video where the Judge issued sentencing. I won’t speak about my feelings on time served. But, she was definitely not uninterested and even cried, saying this was the saddest case she’s ever had in her court room. I thought she was the kindest and most sympathetic for both families that I had ever heard.
I pray for peace for all involved. A terrible tragedy. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Does she feel bad for the black young man her son left paralyzed ??? her son was a criminal ... she failed as a parent ..
They have prof that she yelled taser but failed to pull out the taser so technically it’s her fault for not recognizing the difference between a side arm and a taser like damm
The taser that she keeps on her left side that she draws with her left hand. I didn't see her shoot that Glock with her left hand looked like to me. It was in a right 26 years of experience. That's a fucking joke
She did it on purpose and she got away with for the most part.
@@cherryorchard5600 you’re delusional
@@cherryorchard5600 how do you know this? Where is your proof?
She held gun pointed for while before shooting him and could see it was black not bright yellow and weighed more than a taster after 27 years she doesn't notice whats in her hand discrace

Mother .
Yup, and look how skinny he was and how morbidly obese she and that father are, clearly they devoured all the food and left crumbs for young Daunte. These "parents" should be charged for terrible parenting.
@@bobbyheenan4061 Dude you've posted multiple comments and their all dumb and not funny. Go back to playing fortnite. You probably over 21 and never left your childhood room so stop making fun of people who lost their son.

His victims should sue his estate
He shot two of his childhood friends, robbed homes and committed an armed robbery of a woman for 820 dollars. These people should sue Wright’s family when they receive their settlement. Wright was a terrible person and you have to be an idiot not to realize this.

That’s not your business
@@Jojo-fc6br apparently, the absent father, felt the same way, by being nonexistent in his life. Lmao
Boo freakin hoo, dude was a career criminal, why are you weeping for a scumbag criminal?
Why can’t these criminals just listen to lawful orders, why is it so hard for these people, to accept the word NO?!?!
These career criminals, are raised by a “parent”who never tell them NO, so they grow up believing they’re special and don’t have to listen to ANYONE.
Did you know, you are promising to listen to a peace officer when getting pulled over, when you sign the agreement for your drivers license, remember that binding contact? Probably not, people like you never read the fine print.
But no, struggling, whining and straight up acting like a little temper tantrum baby, when these people get pulled over. How TF do you not notice this?
Good riddance, to another useless career criminal.
His father has been present this while time. Aubrey Wright. Look him up and shut up.
He's in jail?
His father did speak a quick google search will show you this and he was present the whole trial...

I hate to say this but he brought it on himself to react like this and cause this woman to make a mistake and pull her gun instead of the taser like she tried to...... blame is on the mom just as much as the police.... SHE should have taught him to NOT RUN from the police... he would still be alive if he had the right guidance.... sorry but not sorry....everything is avoidable.... FTW
I get that Mom is angry, but Daunte was running from an arrest warrant. Not caring who got in his way. But for his fighting arrest, none of this would have happened.
FKN EXACTLY IF ONE OF THOSE COPS GOT HUNG UP IN THAT CAR HE WOULDA DRAGGED THEM TO DEATH
None of this would have happened if that idiot potter wasn’t a police officer. Shut your racist mouth you bitch. If it was a white boy you would shame the officer.

Right
Sad, but don't think P.O.meant to kill him and he was resisting. Did mom know what he was doing, what he was into? Aren't they getting a payout from the city?
The judge is a disgrace. The sentencing is a disgrace.
The Mother and Father need to improve their parenting skills by handing down punishments when their teenager acted out.
What was the parents doing when son got in trouble with the law the first time?
Nothing, naturally.
Eating Twinkies
What difference does that make?
he’s an adult , don’t put it on the parents. still doesn’t justify what happened in this incident
smoking crack
The mother accepted millions in a settlement for the death of her son, yet refuses to use any of that money to help the victims of her son.
Officer Noor, another Minneapolis cop, who was reckless with his gun and deliberately shot an innocent person who did not have a criminal history, who called the police to get help for someone she thought was being raped. Noor murdered her, lied about his victim, was caught in his lie & was sentenced to 12 years, but will serve around 4 years. Two years is more than enough for Kim potter given the circumstances.
Strange, I tried googling something about the city paying out a settlement to the family but I got nothing
Imagine robbing a female at gun point and getting killed by a female at gun point. Karma a bitch y'all smoke too much crack. Learn to look at the whole situation from a bird's eye view.
She knows she's getting sued sonshes trying to get rid of that money.
This needs to be taken to the supreme court's

@@population-_-420 lol TDS victim trump owns your empty head. 😂😂😂🇺🇲👍👍👍🖕🖕🖕🖕. Cope more.

Mom forgot this part of her son's bio:
At the time of the shooting, Wright had an open warrant for his arrest related to an aggravated armed robbery, for failure to appear in court, and for charges that he fled from officers and possessed a gun without a permit during an encounter with Minneapolis police in June. Wright also had a restraining order that forbade contact with a woman. ~wiki.
Still no justification of a slain human life
Easy to Forget. Hard to Remember.
The police force is strong enough to bring out a group of guys that can just chase the car and they have technology nowadays where they can also stop criminal vehicles on speed chases
This comment is textbook definition of deflecting away from the crime that the defendant did. Dauntes's crimes don't equal death. That is why there is a trial being done and the defendant is being tried for murder.
And that’s a death sentence. Would you want the same thing done to you , are your love one. despicable
Kind of ironic that she mentioned Daunte Culpepper---Earl Gray(Kim Potter's attorney) defended Daunte years back!
What did culpepper do?
Why did he give the officers such a hard time? He was not compliant.
Doesn’t mean you can kill someone for being not compliant lol
This judge tricked the shyt outta me. I thought she would give smiley-faced Kim a heavier sentence. So much for justice. 👎🏾
Justice would have been no criminal charges to begin with. But you would need to understand the law to get that.
It was clearly a mistake. Even so, the consequences ended up with some jail time, as it should be. These are not mistakes that can be tolerated.
@@Angel0fTruth Many States (not sure about MN) define accidental killings as excusable when committed by accident or misfortune, or in doing any lawful act by lawful means, without unlawful intent.
@@avenue8822 I believe Kim is devastated and will gladly do this sentence. Nothing can change the death of him, but I think she needs this to heal her own heart as well.

Btw the 16 year old former bff of Daunte wright and his victim of a ruger .45 slug to the head, leaving him paralyzed for life..you probably only care about yourself and whatever garbage juice you happen to be calling your lives?? Curious? Does calebs family deserve your disrespect??
@@letsexchangecansandbadadvi4245 ah yes. The "he did something bad, so the shooting is justified" argument.
Curious how many skeletons come outta your closet when that happens.
It's truly ashame that Daunte died that way no one should ever be killed but let's not get things wrong here such a great mom and dad let her "baby boy" drive a car without license, Insurance, registration, having a warrant, and let's not gets this wrong he was not a good person. He stole from people, held people at gun point, and also tried to run from the police. Both parties were In the wrong . So stop making him Into some kind of morter. He was In a highly know bad drug area under the Influence. His actions could of caused a lot of problems injuries because he k ew he was gonna go to jail and was like no I won't go ill resist and fight the cops and try to drive away
This is very sad, but he was responsible for this because he did not comply with the officers. Had he complied we would not be here today. As sad as this situation is, we need to teach our kids accountability, and to obey police. She should had taught her son to listen and respect police. Unfortunately this entire situation could had been avoided if he just listened and complied with the officers orders. I know first hand what it’s like to lose a child, however, this could had all been avoided. Parents please please please teach your kids to respect and listen to police so situation like this can be avoided.
@Saba N 👍🏽👏🏾
i hope you’re a troll.. he didn’t deserve to die. you have not even an ounce of humanity..

And she's the one who has to live with the boys death on her shoulders. If anything, it's his fault that he placed his violence and death on her shoulders to carry. And that makes him a selfish SOB.
Well maybe if you hadn't raised a career felon you wouldn't have had to be in this position.
True.

Yup, hey, he son never did anything wrong. Going to jail for no reason.
What about the mothers of Dante's victims?
I realize a parent is sorrowful, but this mother's words give you a clue how her son ended up being such a mess. It seems he had no one to raise him or show him there were consequences for his crimes and the horrible things he did to others.

@@Diadeed Daunte's actions mattered. You can't erase his prior actions from what started the whole sequence of events that led to his death. HIS actions caused the warrant to exist for him. Both at the time of that crime (a violent crime against a person) and when he refused to appear in court as ordered. HIS criminal history created the state of mind for the police who had to respond to HIS violent and criminal actions at the scene at the time of the shooting. So unfortunately for him, Daunte's crime led to his death. The failure to face that reality will lead to more deaths of stupid young men.

I mean its messed up in both ways but the way i see it....Wright had no need to try to run if he wasn't guilty of something...one thing i see in common of all these police shootings is the criminal is always resisting...plain and simple...man up.
So what about philando Castile, travonne martin... just those 2 alone. Did they resist ?
@@blaketake3970 the fact that you are naming Martin who was not killed by police number 1. also number 2. who knows what happened with Martin...nobody does...opinion is not acceptable....as far as Philando...he had a pistol on him...he was also licensed to carry a pistol but he should also know his responsibilities and dangers when it comes to carrying a pistol. Just because you are licensed to carry a pistol doesn't mean you're not exempt from getting shot. Philando should have kept his hands on the dash and asked for a supervisor. The officer was acquitted of all charges so obviously the defense was able to prove the officer feared for his life. So all in all using these two subjects was a mistake on your part and once again you made my point. Usually especially a black person that dies of the hands of the police they are usually not cooperating and being suspicious...if you don't believe me then pull up videos. If you want a perfect example look up Daniel Shaver. Also i bet you never heard of the incident either...you know why...because people like you only believe police brutality is against only blacks.

Not always the case though.. Bothem Jean was what you mentioned but was killed in cold blood. Pick where you live wisely and live in areas where there is little gun usage. You are less likely to be shot.
Sorry for the mothers unforgiveness...the officer made a mistake.

The one thing she surely thought about 1000 times and how it would look and what would be the result, especially with all the stuff in the media, if she shot someone what would happen ... and when it did, the regret, the panick, everything took over. and she shouldn't make eye contact or talk to the family.
SHE CAUSED HIS DEATH. She could have saved him, even after she shot him in cold blood, but she was too focused on her own discomfort. You are an evil person if you cannot see that
Yeah no gtf. there no way she deserves any leniency. there’s not way in hell to accidentally grab a gun instead of a taser. 1. A gun is heavy & a taser is much lighter. regardless of race she deserves the max sentence because if Daunte was white she would’ve been been sentenced no question about it.
She knew what she was doing it was intentional !
Hold your children tightly tonight!! Tell them this STORY, and let them know there are much better ways to conduct yourselves because no matter which side your on..there are always consequences, regardless of what some may think
@Jo Kerr thats what I am talking about...this is something we need to tell our children, about consequences and actions..
@Jo Kerr Yes Jo and I will also include in that lesson how Some COPS are TRIGGER HAPPY and RACIST and will shoot to kill US BLACK and BROWN men and women even when WE DO NOT STRUGGLE with them...... You Savvy??????

It's a sad day when a bunch of comments are calling this injustice when it clearly isn't at all. And when they think justice is assuming Potter killed in cold blood when all the evidence points towards an accident. That says there are many stupid, ignorant, low IQ, heartless monsters in these comments. Victim impact statements are indeed useless when the defendant is Kim Potter, who was lawfully attempting to arrest a criminal who decided to resist and place everyone's lives, including his own, in mortal danger. Because of HIS actions, Potter made an error in the heat of the moment and he lost his life.
What evidence exactly? Did they have potter reenact that moment in court, or have her hold a gun and taser in the courtroom to test the differences of the weapons weight? Oh okay…
@@jasminjenee I'm guessing you've never made a mistake in your whole life. There was absolutely no reason whatsoever to reach the conclusion that this was NOT an accident. And what are you talking about weight of the gun and taser? I'm not saying she isn't guilty of anything. I think jail time is appropriate. If this makes officers just a little bit more aware so that mistakes like this are avoided in the future then her 2 year sentence did it's job because that would be the only reason to jail her to send a message and to punish her for her error. People seem to believe that because she was convicted, she is guilty of having killed Wright in cold blood. That is why I said there are a lot of low IQ monsters commenting on here. Low IQ for being irrational in their logic and literally assuming lies about Potter because it makes them feel better and monsters for turning a blind eye to Wright's role in his own death and placing all the blame on a noble officer of 26 years. Not only that but judging her for the color of her skin and making the far fetched and evil assumption she killed him due to racism. Enough with the low IQ bullshit. Most people making those arguments aren't even dumb they just lap up whatever the MSM tells them and that may not seem like such a big deal to onlookers like us but God forbid one of us is ever involved in a situation like this where you know you're being assumed to be something you're not because of people who lack empathy and seeking blind revenge and being criminal apologists.
Read that last sentence you just wrote, again.
@@rg9810 Didn't you follow the trial or read a recap?
Sad event the persons bad decisions lead to a fatal mistake which lead to a leaner sentencing which the judge explained and knew that comparing this to George Floyd is wrong
It sucks that she lost her son but Jesus, if he would've just not resisted, he'd still be here. If you create a tense situation with law enforcement, guess what? You're at least partly to blame.
Why do these people always say that their person is the best person including George floyd. I am not trying to be mean. I'm just trying to understand. I think if we learn to see the bad behaviors or mistakes of our children and help them correct them before tragedy hit them, then maybe that will cut down these sad situations. Just my thoughts.
Because they loved them. Are you saying that certain people are undeserving of love?
We as parents have to take accountability for the part that we play as parents. Most of us parents doesn't deserve to be parents, we brought these kids in the world most of them fatherless, and allow the streets to raise them, and when something like this happens we cry a river. I have kids too i am a parent and told my children every single day how important they are to me. I show them love and compassion and to respect each and every individual. I also informed them how important it is to respect the law and law enforcement officers, and if they don't they (my kids) deserve to get shot in the @## . I raised boys i don't raise men. I haven't had any complaints since.
It’s no different than our kids being taught to admire and respect the murderers, pillagers and genocidal racist because it’s our country was founded on it.
There will never be a time where bad people don’t exist
@@bryb2644 I think this person saying that we should not glorify our children. We should love them, of course, but try to teach them behavior that would keep them safe.
Oh yeah, what a bright future he had. Multiple people here are suffering the consequences of bad parenting and poor life choices.
Culture teaches these kids to be cool you need to be "full on gangster" not sure parent's can overcome such an obstacle. Just looking at this from both perspectives. Daunte was fighting with his dad alot, i'm sure they did try (hence the conflict). But it's just a guess...
Thug life
Oh yeah, what a bright future that old white, trailer trash Kim Potter had also. Multiple police officers will suffer the consequences of bad policing and the poor judgment from an old white lady who had no business on the street dealing with real life situations. They all have a target on their backs now, because of her and other cretins like her. Her parents and her parents parents are ALL responsible for bringing her lame ass into this world, to commit murder, if we follow your tortured logic. What about the judges parents? Are they responsible for the light sentence she gave the old bag? Or the other uniformed cretins on the scene. What part did their parents play in this murderous affair? And even YOU, my dum screed, what part did your facilitators play, when you decided to sit down to post and personify your abject stupidity?
@@majik_man Culture makes cheese and buttermilk. What the F are you talking about? Quit with the stereotypes. You only showcase your mental laziness when you do that.
Now that she is freed, she gets to move on but this young mans family was sentenced to a life sentence.
I don't care how bad she's hurt..but she's wrong..she made mistake..I can't sympathized with her due to her acting like she did it on purpose.
It’s hilarious how she says that the defendant can’t afford to make anymore mistakes. She and her family raised a career criminal. All I hear is blah blah blah coming out of her mouth. If she truly loved her son, she wouldn’t have raised him the way they did. I will never respect people like this as long as they continue to view themselves as innocent when truly they are a thorn on citizens side. They really are trash because they are able to immediately point the finger at someone for trying to protect the community from a thug but are blind to their own hypocrisy. Her son was a star alright. A natural born thug star. She blames herself for the phone call? She should blame herself for how he turned out. Her motherly instincts should have kicked in when he was younger. Not wait until the day he is bleeding out because he was running away from multiple charges against him that were his doing
A.M.E.N.
She only got two years, apparently it didnt matter what she or ANYONE said or thought anyways...Judge had her mind made up!! Its funny all I heard from dante wrights mom was " blah blah blah blah blah , feel sorry for us blah blah blah"
@@letsexchangecansandbadadvi4245 in my view, she should’ve received two years alright, but two years of additional pay on top of her regular salary!
@@rubenruiz2162 i totally agree
Damn she’s so selfish
She accuses her of killing intentionally when kim accidentally used the gun not the taser. Accidents happens and surely she gave her son that lesson in life but he didn’t listen to her when he decided to resist arrest
She should also see the officer made a mistake and not be a hypocrite.
You understand a tazer weighs 7 pounds less then a gun the cop made that up to get away with what she did
@@mr.nmtrue5059 hand guns don’t weigh 7 lbs
Yeah she’s a hypocrite because her son is black right? But if he was white it wouldn’t Be a mistake
@@selfmade8238 because her son resisted arrest and made a mistake. Had he been white and this happened the result would be the same. People are trying to use race to victimize criminals, forget what they did they are black that’s what matters right???
@Power Forever delusional
Potter should get as much time as a doctor whos patient dies based on an accident that they cause.
This is so sad for both side but forgiveness is NOT for her it’s for you and in time it will come unless u have been threw murder or loosing someone this way is very very hard to understand and it seems grief comes in stages but over time u will learn to forgive her as the lord does she will always have to live with what happen god bless both families and may peace and prayers be with you both in this time of need
So well said.
The Judge should've done an upward departure!
The judge should do what's right and let Potter go.
@@caracre hahaha so funny 🤣
The courage and composure of the mom was what a hero is. Wow mom your strength is second to none.😢
Lol..... right.
It’s pathetic that I could probably differentiate against a taser and a gun better than a police officer who was on the force for longer than I’ve been alive. This officer had PLENTY of time to put the gun away before firing. When I watched the video she was holding it for like 10 seconds.
So many Karens in these comments it’s really disgusting 🤮
Great statement even I could understand what she was asking and her view point was very clear.
Too bad the judge didnt care..😂😂😂
Was this mom this upset when her son was out committed horrible crimes?
He had a criminal history. If I have a criminal history can I get some money? He his a criminal! Why is he a hero now?
What piece of work!! WOW
Not trying to stick up for the next cop lady but sometimes people are in shock when something happens. I mean accidents happen things happen 26 years nobody's perfect I pray for that mother because I don't know what it feels like but it's got to be awful, I don't think she meant to do that it was an accident if people would just listen to the cops sometimes when you're in their position a good cop one flight move you're risking your life, it is very scary 🙏♥️🇺🇸 prayers
GOOD PARENTING MATTERS......................GOOD PARENTING MATTERS......
I think the problem is that there really is no perfect situation here. Kim messed up, whether on purpose or accident, and killed Daunte Wright. No matter what u thought of a person if they were "good" or "bad," a young person's death is a tragedy. But on the other side, it is how it is sometimes. He had a bad past, and a lot of his victims don't feel much remorse for his death. Everyone's placing blame on one specific person, but I don't see anyone blaming everyone... Kim messed up, Daunte messed up, and Katie messed up.
The Prosecutor even agreed that it was an accident.
No different than charging a 90 year old lady that hits the gas pedal thinking it was the brake pedal and killing someone. NOT criminal.
Let the civil courts deal with it.
@@avenue8822 that analogy is completely different considering this is a police officer with a loaded weapon lol, I can understand a civil case against a 90 yo, but I'd be concerned if my own mom didn't file a criminal case if I died like this, whether I was a criminal or not
@@hereforthefreedonuts Not so sure you are right my friend. Just consider what the law is, what an 'accidental killings' is defined as.
There must be criminal intent to support criminal charges. You dont need that in a civil lawsuit.
@@avenue8822 in this case tho, there was enough criminal intent to warrant a criminal case. Just depended if Katie wanted Kim jailed or not, in which she chose the former
@@hereforthefreedonuts I appreciate your opinion, but I disagree. Many States (not sure about MN) define accidental killings as excusable when committed by accident or misfortune, or in doing any lawful act by lawful means, without unlawful intent.
My god this is the most heartfelt statements... I will pray God continues to hold her until she is strong enough to stand on her own again!
Yeah tell that to the kid her son shot and paralyzed…🙄
My heart breaks for her. 2 years is not enough. God bless her
Its too much

Daunte's parents neglected to teach their angelic little career criminal not to resist arrest. But perhaps they intentionally omitted that in hopes of a future windfall lawsuit.
Sobbing 😭

@@gaetanomaximus8650 you’re miserable
We all knew it was going to be a slap on the hand. Must be nice to get away with murder 1 daily
I can't believe how the judge was almost in tears for Kim Potter.
Getting away with murder stop talking about Baldwin that way
So correct and should become a nation slogan because it’s so true "white women’s tears, trump justice." Said by, Katie Wright, Daunte Wright’s mother. It should be put on tweets, memes, bumper stickers, coffee cups, shirts and bill boards. That’s the reality of American injustice today. And it not only affects black men badly, it affects us all badly.
I think we need those things too. They should say, ""PRAY FOR DANTE WRIGHTS VICTIMS, WHO GOT NO JUSTICE".
Blooming Accents, it like you’re caught up in “Daunte was a scumbag, so cops can kill at will!” Potter knew none of this when she executed Daunte. That’s what bothers me. Just like it bothers me that in the year before George Floyd’s murder, Australian white woman Justine Damond, who was living in one of the best parts of town, was shot by a black cop, from Somalia, who was a diversity hire. She called for help on a prowler and lost her life for it, the officer got sentenced for third degree murder 12 1/2 years, then the biased Minnesota courts reversed that and gave him only 4.9 years, for manslaughter, so he got away with murder, as well. And this ridiculous 2 year verdict, sets a president, and ensures whomever is killed by police, next, police, when they commit crimes, even murder, won’t be held accountable for their crimes, and so these incidents of violence against all citizens will just increase, as they’ve been doing for decades. This idea of let’s dig up what we can on victims after we play judge, jury, and executioner, to justify whatever cops do wrong, is garbage. Because that’s not why the victims were murdered, and even when they can only find “white woman, not a criminal, calling for help on prowler,” the cop is still allowed to get away with murder, which proves that’s what happens regardless of the victim’s background.
Don't cry now....You should have raised a better kid.....you failed as well.....
I cried for this mother, I felt her pain so deep, I feel absolutely heartbroken for her. I cant imagine going thru this, losing a child, for no reason but a "mistake" by a cop. This is crazy. Like she said the cop was supposed to serve and protect but did the absolute opposite... And I just saw on another video that she was only sentenced to 24 months!?!?! Wtf? How is that right or fair? That will be even less with good time taken off.
Again.. she is absolutely wrong for taking this child's life, and should pay for it. BUT.. if this child would have simply complied with officers and stepped out to accept his arrest, due to a warrant mind you, that mother would not have to be in so much pain.
@@Billovesya i dont know all the details so I didn't know anything other than the video I saw with her yelling taser taser and instead shooting a gun and then crying about how she's going to go to jail laying on the ground. I do agree that if he did resist and that's what sparked the situation that if he just complied he would most probably be alive today. But when things didn't go as planned and the cops had trouble with the guy they had to do what they could to control the situation, like use of a taser. Although this lady cop shoulda known the difference between taser and gun, they look different, feel different, and I think are kept in different places on the belt. I mean she coulda looked at what she was grabbing for like half a second. But she didn't, it happened, I don't think she really meant to kill a kid, but the part that really got me is when she fell to the ground crying, at first I thought oh wow she must feel absolutely awful for that horrible mistake, until I heard what she was saying, about how SHE was in trouble, SHE was gonna go to jail, and to call her superior, just like the mother said, not once did she say anything about is HE ok, help HIM, or help him herself. That's kinda where it becomes that she is the one really wrong in the situation, and deserves severe punishment, cuz up until that point it was an accident, and then she turned it into an event where she really didn't care. I don't know, I think she Still got off too easy, and she coulda done more to prevent and help the whole situation as it was happening and even before she pulled the gun.
IT IS MORE THAN RIGHT AND FAIR. AMEN. You are living in your own Fantasy World. SNAP OUT OF IT.
Its called Karma, when you so carelessly try to take the lives of others and do not respect what we are given it gets taken away!! The lord giveth and taketh away

I wish she drew her taser or pepper spray instead of her fire arm . There is protocol. 🇺🇸
@@angelavila3261 let me be absolutely clear on this there should be no reason for me to repeat myself seeing how this should be etched in stone on the internet. Protocol goes both ways you are too at all times obey an officer's request when asked. Both hands on the wheel ID registration keep your hands visible the whole nine yards. Officer Potter did not instruct Dante the suspect to act erratically at any time during the stop. A stiff fine ,restitutions to the family ,off the force or sent back to the academy for rigorous retraining. jail time, way too far Dante wright aggravated the situation. I'm only saying these things for your benefit. You'll thank me for this later. 🇺🇲
The "mother" should have taught her boy not to play with guns.
That way her boy would still be alive, and another boy wouldn't be in a wheelchair.
You could say that this is ALL her fault!
Heart breaking listen to every one of that family i cried listening to them
Then for a cop 👮♂️
To get such a short time in jail is disgusting the judge had more sympathy for her
I laughed.
She'll get out in 4 months I'm sure. She's a fine decorated officer who made a good call. Given that Dante Wright started the whole thing.

@@gaetanomaximus8650 hope you laugh if it happens to your kid also
The cop shouldn’t be in jail at all. Don’t resist arrest
We have to educate our children to respect police officers. They often risk their lives for this society and we need to appreciate them. If they are not doing the right thing, we can fight in the court.
Did u see the video?? The male officer was in control..when she grabbed at daunte that's when it went wrong..AND as a long time police officer she knew the difference between her gun and her taser.. 2 yrs is not enough... Also do u think all police give respect to everyone they pull over .
Your country's insane obsession with the military and the police is a sad symptom of a country is losing more control by the day. Your insane patriotism blinds you to the fact that the US is a deeply hurt country, the brunt of which is carried by marginalised communities.
Being frightened of the police should NEVER be a thing. The way even security guards speak to you (shout at you really) at American airports when you arrive would be hilarious and cringe worthy if it wasn't people paying with their lives for your strange obsession with authoritative force.
