Kim Potter, the police officer who resigned after shooting Daunte Wright, is facing first and second-degree manslaughter charges.
RELATED: Funeral held for Daunte Wright, 20-year-old man killed by police near Minneapolis
Jury selection is set to begin Tuesday in the manslaughter trial of a former Minnesota police officer who fatally shot a Black man while yelling "Taser" during a traffic-stop-turned-arrest earlier this year.
Kim Potter is charged with first and second-degree manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright, 20, on April 11 in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center. Potter was a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department, and the police chief resigned two days later.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is prosecuting the case. Potter is being represented by attorneys Earl Gray and Paul Engh. Gray also represents a former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd and previously represented an officer who fatally shot Philando Castile during a traffic stop outside St. Paul.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is representing Wright's family.

Music is the moonlight in the gloomy night of life🔥😈
He could have took his medicine like a man. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. Can’t run forever? If he did the right thing he would still be alive we know the cops suck why would you play these games with them.
You must have a sad life
Incompetent to the max.
:stayhome: Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals life plan. In some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
@Michael Tortorete Thanks so much. I will message him immediately

@Michael Tortorete LMFAO all your accounts are made in the same day stupid 🤣🤣 report all these accounts 😂😂😂😂
She will get off because it was self defence , daunte was trying to drive off with police officer in front of car.
Why would Daunte want to flee in the first place? Did he expect a positive outcome out of it in the end?
No one was in front of the car.
@Zanman _>What about down the road? Or other innocent people when this nutcase would have sped away? He obviously was desperate and not wanted to be arrested. Maybe a high speed pursuit where a family may get killed? Or….let him go so he can produce more victims perhaps?
You guys are always on the side of the criminal….speaks volumes.
I hope justice is served
It was
That’s not disturbing that’s is distracting
@Zanman face mask
@Dandsw97 try washing it?
@Zanman good
@Dandsw97 Epstein & Maxwell trial is currently ongoing, many powerful men are about to be implicated.
@Lucas Jasche acting like hackers
She’s going to serve time on negligent manslaughter…. there’s no way she can claim it was an accident ‘.. these police officers have hours of training
she was the taser trainer
Grow up 🤡☝️
After she murders him ..she threw her gun away ..her hands were empty.. no proficient gun expert would do that…
She deserves jail time if citizens make a mistake shooting someone we go to jail too it’s only fair
The Waukesha Parade Massacre was racially motivated.
He ran over his ex high af on PCP, wtf you talking about bean bag 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Lucas Jasche All of his Facebook comments.
It was a psyop
Second degree manslaughter is a given. But i dont think she intended to kill the kid, so probably hard to convict her for first degree manslaughter.
With all the body cameras and she knowingly had one on too, the case is going to be weak at best.
🤡☝️
What is the difference between a warrior and a woman?
This.
No such thing as a mistake like Amber Guyger. SMH!Like the game of monopoly go to jail!👉
Simple minds have simple thoughts 🤡☝️
Clearly innocent and shouldn’t be a trial. Ridiculous
“Shouldn’t be a trial” calm down Himler das Fuhrer hasn’t returned yet 🤦🏻♂️
Let’s give all black people the keys to the country… Or ur car lol I didn’t fight for this country not this one I see today before me
If you don’t like it then you can get out
If the people convict this officer then we as a country are heading in the wrong direction and sending a very bad message.
Locking up a murderer is the wrong direction? Yeah randy go slither back under your rock.
bro its manslaughter easy, not murder, but she is gonna serve some time in jail no doubt
It was a mistake.
He was resisting.
Manslaughter is the correct charge.
I vote acquittal.
Easily. She didn’t want to kill him you can hear her immediately know she fucked up I hope she can atleast live a peaceful life after this
Consider this scenario. If a soldier is careless is in battle and ends up killing a family he thought was the terrorist group they were after. Are they automatically in the clear with nooo responsibility? Simply because they’re a soldier? Think..
Quit idolizing criminals, this is a law abiding country,
Dude should have complied and he would still be alive, some people have to learn the hard way! He was keeping it real per Dave C.
Are you for real? What if it where your relative?
@JR he is right he tried to get away it’s his own fault he died
