Kim Potter Found Guilty

A jury of twelve has found Kim Potter, the former Brooklyn Center police officer who shot and killed Daunte Wright, guilty on counts of both first- and second-degree manslaughter.

For those playing along at home, she was the the cop who shot Daunte Wright because she couldn't tell the difference between her gun and her taser.

This is a good thing.

I agree with the decision.

At the same time, I don't put all the blame on her. She clearly was out of her depth. She was in a sheer state of panic.

Blame all around, tragic all around.

I'm not sure if those are good examples, as two of them the police officers were convicted and went to jail. A third the police officer was charged but found not guilty by a Klan jury...

It would seem the lesson that should be learned is, "Make sure what you are shooting at."

More importantly, comply with all orders from law enforcement. Cop your attitude later.

The ultimate blame is on her, but this department obviously has a substandard training program.

The divorce rate with white families isn't because of the welfare state.

Welfare in its early state incentivised fathers to leave the home. I don't know how anyone could argue that generations of welfare did not destroy the black family structure

Um, I just posted the facts and figures for you on divorce, single parenthood and the percentage of Americans on assistance...

No, welfare didn't incentivize fathers to leave the home. They were leaving anyway, as 40% of Americans are born out of wedlock today. People just don't need to get married anymore to have kids. Very little to do with welfare and a lot more to do with the fact that marriage just isn't seen as a big deal.

Again, not really. Two of the four cases you listed, the cop went to jail. Cops are going to jail if they shoot unarmed people now.

They better learn to live with "attitude".

She's the one who fired the gun, so all the blame is on her. She's the one who decided to pull this man over for frivilous reasons.

I suspect most suburban police departments do... They just don't deal with a lot of crime.

What we need is standardized training across all police departments.

We don't need standardized training programs across the country. One size fits all solutions don't work.

Sure we do. I'd go one further, I would require all Police Officers to be licensed, just like Nurses are. that way the bad apples who get fired from one department don't end up on someone else's department (like the guy who shot Tamir Rice for playing with a toy.)

A federal standard would not help. Police in Los Angeles have different requirements than police officers in Oshkosh Wisconsin. States, counties and cities should be in charge of creating standards for their law enforcement agencies.


Police officers essentially are licensed. They get licensed through a law enforcement officers academy. These academy's are operated by the individual state's. That's the way it should be.


Why is it that the liberal mind-set is always more federal control?

What do police officers in LA do different than police officers in Oskosh, WI?

Do you really need an answer for that? LA has a lot of issues which don't exist in Oshkosh. One size fits all is a dumb idea.

 

[tahuyaman]

Local government needs to emphasize officer training and ensure that the agencies training programs are conducting quality training.

When counties and cities cut police budgets, the first area which absorbs those cuts it training.

Creating training standards on a federal level won’t fix that.

The fact we have so many of these incidents tells me we need a federal standard.

We also need police reform, and we need to get the unions out of the disciplinary process.

These incidents are not common. They are rare.

Federal intrusion on state responsibilities is not an effective solution.

Why do liberals think everything can be solved by the federal government?

You have no knowledge of the history of the welfare issue. It absolutely incentivized fathers leaving the home. Originally welfare benefits would not be paid to a family with both parents in the home

A federal standard for the police! Hell man the federal government fucks up everything it touches you might as well not have any cops at all!

Untill we get rid of BLM we will never know if cases like this are judged fairly otr does becasue of feer of sistruction and terrorium of a city.

If you have to ask you wouldn’t understand the answer.

Anyone who’s not stupid knows the differences in a being a police officer in Los Angeles vs Oshkosh Wisconsin.

Tragic mistake. Why isn't Baldwin in jail?
