The family is not happy with the sentence! As tragic as this shooting was, it was not criminal. The criminal is the one who started resisting and trying to drive off as the cuffs were about to be slapped on him for a weapons charge. I do not believe former Officer Potter meant to shoot him. Its sad all around. she had a 26 year career with no prior incidents. If the man had just complied with the officers, he'd still be alive today.

As near as I can determine, Wright had not been convicted of any crime. He had a warrant after failing to appear in court on charges that he fled from officers and possessed a gun without a permit during an encounter with Minneapolis police in June.
I do not think that deserved a death sentence.
This was a tragedy but not uncommon.
As my son knows, any person of color must be careful how they react to police, especially a young man.

This trial wasn't about the personal history of Dante wright.. it was about who shot him.

MSG Stan Hutchison This is not an upstanding citizen. He could have complied and instead he decides to try and take off in his car while officers tried to arrest him. They could have been killed or seriously injured. Daunte Wright had led a life of crime and violence in the years before his death, DailyMail.com can reveal
The 20-year-old was involved in the shooting of two of his school friends, a home burglary, and previously assaulted and robbed a woman at gunpoint
Jennifer LeMay said Wright shot her son, Caleb Livingston, 18, in the head and at a gas station and left him to die in an incident in Minneapolis in May 2019
Caleb now suffers from a traumatic brain injury and respiratory arrest, and is bound to a wheelchair. He cannot speak and requires 24/7 care
LeMay said: 'I have mixed emotions about [Wright's] death, part of me is content knowing he'll never be able to hurt someone again'
'But then the other part is furious. When Kim Potter killed him, she took away any possibly for him to be held criminal accountable for what he did,' she added
Another woman, identified only as CV, told DailyMail.com Wright assaulted her and pointed a gun at her in an attempted robbery in December 2019
And in 2017, Wright was arrested and charged with felony 1st degree burglary of an occupied dwelling after breaking into his friend's parent's home

SFC William Farrell - Regardless of his past, the officer did not have the right to kill him.

I definitely believe she should've gotten more time. Whether he was a criminal or not is not the point. She is a 20 year veteran of the force and can't tell the difference between a taser and her duty weapon? Even if she did make a mistake she should have a real consequence. If you or I did this by accident we would be given more than 2 years.
