If there's justice, and the jury does their job Kim Potter is not convicted.

She should catch the 2nd degree charge, based on the video alone.
Not according to the law.
Based on the video.
No surprise you misread the law.
Based on your posts.
No surprise that you're ignoring the facts of the case, based on your documented bias towards police officers.
She was the training officer on that shift and they used the air freshener as pretext to run the plates. During the stop he was cooperating until they announced he had a warrant for failure to appear on a misdemeanor weapons charge and he then panicked.
She then drew her weapon and thought she had her taser and fired the fatal shot.
Bottom line she was training new cops how to over police the community and she fucked up.
She gotta go...

He panicked?
No, he tried to get away using a car with two police officer in danger of being injured by that vehicle.She clearly says, "I'm gonna tase you. Taser! Taser! Taser!" and he kept on being stupid. The Brooklyn Center police chief labeled it correctly from the beginning as an "Accidental discharge."
But tof course, this isn't about justice, it's about politics, as Imran Ali, the assistant county attorney and head of the county's major crimes unit said.
We will vigorously prosecute this case and intend to prove that Officer Potter abrogated her responsibility to protect the public when she used her firearm rather than her Taser. Vigorously prosecute the cop, and the guy who skipped out on his obligation to show in court is now a victim.
Oh, okay.
Had HE followed the law and shown up in court, he'd be alive.
So once again, when a perp decides to break the law, exacerbating such idiocy with his own actions, and puts himself in a situation the police are then put in a situation in which they have to respond.
Tragic? Perhaps. But unnecessary because HE made the wrong choices.
But go ahead and nominate him for sainthood. And crucify another cop who is out there trying to do their job to protect dopes like you.
