Cortez Rice’s defense tried blaming ‘White supremacist’ groups for sharing clips of livestream outside judge’s presumed home
of course
Quote:
The criminal complaint from Hennepin County details how Rice participated in a protest outside a Minneapolis apartment building to demand Chu reverse her order banning Potter’s trial from being broadcast. Rice allegedly took a step farther by live-streaming himself on YouTube and climbing to the 12th floor. He spurted threatening language outside the unit believed to be where Chu lived, the complaint obtained by Fox News Digital says.
"We on her heels," he shouted, adding that he was "waiting for the gang to get up here." Continuing to use profanity once back outside, Rice addressed Chu by name, saying, "We demand transparency. We’d hate you to get kicked out of your apartment.
A young Illinois man is permanently disabled after running afoul of Daunte Wright, the Minnesota 20-year-old shot and killed by former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter, whose trial on manslaughter charges is underway.
At around 9:19 p.m. CT on May 14, 2019, Caleb Livingston, then 16, suffered a single gunshot wound to the head outside the Full Stop gas station on Lowry Avenue North in Minneapolis, according to court documents. The gun was allegedly shot by Wright, who was fatally shot roughly two years later.
Doctors initially told Livingston's family he wouldn’t survive.
She did the world a favor. Again, why was this thug even free?

Struggling with loss, she moved out on her own at 18, got a job and did her best to make ends meet – until Daunte Wright showed up in her Minnesota living room with a handgun and tried to steal from her.
"Everybody feels so horrible for this man, but no one takes the time to see how horrible of a person he was," says a Minnesota woman who police allege Wright choked and robbed at gunpoint. https://www.foxnews.com/us/kim-potte...ctim-interview

I don't hear anyone saying she purposely shot the man. The debate seems to be, should she have been more aware that she had a gun and not a taser, and does that rise to criminal negligence.
There's a book called "What Happened to You", written in part by a neuroscientists and much of it deals with the panicked brain, or the traumatized person. The lowest part of your brain - that part that recognizes danger and reacts with flight, fight or freeze - actually is in control of the higher parts of your brain that write poetry and do algebra. The lower part can actually take control of the higher thinking brain, and turn it off during the time of danger. So the person is left with ALL their mental capabilities keeping them safe in this emergency, leaving them less able to process information and think critically, until the lower part cedes control back to the higher thinking part when the danger or panic has passed.
It appears Potter was doing everything she should have - her taser was on the left, gun on the right, etc.
Maybe something ELSE needs to be done to make a taser feel different than a gun? Maybe a taser could operate in a different way than a trigger? I don't know how, but if the taser was a push button instead of a gun-like trigger, maybe this wouldn't have happened?

My sentiments exactly. Unfortunately, he left behind a kid who will probably cash in big time due to his father's criminal activities and death.
Had the dummy not resisted, he would probably be alive to have his day in court. Instead, we've got this circus to contend with.

Any money should go to the kid he shot in the head....who now needs around the clock care.

Sad for her.
those are ideas worth considering. something to clearly differentiate tasers from guns by hand-feel and appearance.
Read both laws they charged her with can't really find how she broke the law both man slaughter charges require some kind of negligence they claim she was negligent because she spent 27 years as a police officer. That is like saying since you have been driving a car for 30 years you didn't see a motorcycle and turned lift into a motorcycle causing death your criminally negligent because you should have known due to the fact been driving for 30 years. Prosecutors have way too much power with little oversight, and little risk for charging since conviction is 85% in this country juries are just as dumb and convict.
If a grand jury had been called she would have not even been charged. This is pure political charge in fact Daunte Wright tried to drive off with an officer hanging out the door he would have been killed. Potter could have shot him and it would be justified. The prosecutor left out the fact that Wright had a warrant for a gun charge. Prosecutor said he was pulled over for an expired license plate tab and was shot for it. I can understand why crime on the rise police departments no longer have the backing of political district attorney's. Soros spent millions getting liberal DA's elected now we are seeing the damage that has been done. Getting a DA elected doesn't cost much few 100k to get the person he wanted in the office.
