You don’t hear the right complaining about the justice system for criminals on this one 😂
Good behavior are you kidding me they need to do away with that
Thank you Lord. She did us all a favor and saved us a lifetime of welfare by eliminating throwaways 😊
And I'm sure they are throwing her a welcome back party at the police department 🎉
She should have never went to prison
If he didn’t have a warrant (upstanding citizen) AND didn’t run (obstruction) he wouldn’t be dead.
Kim should not have served any time for making a mistake that would never have happened if the person had simply followed orders. Admirable lady and I wish her the best.
And this is why we hate cops
less than a year and a half for killing someone. must be nice to be part of the government class
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
As per her parol stipulations, saying she isn't allowed to own a firarm or even be in the presence of a firearm: …. does she even know what a firearm is? …… (serious question)
Kim Potter’s 2 year prison system is yet another blight on our injustice system. It is my opinion that anyone trained as an officer of the law should be held to a much higher standard, and when they violate the law their sentences should reflect that higher standard. Potter “accidentally “ murdered another human being and 2 years isn’t anywhere near long enough of a sentence!!
I personally know people who served more time in prison for possession of 2 marijuana joints under the Rockefeller drug laws
Whats crazy is I’ve seen videos of black men robbing places with weapons and if they get shot people cheer. So I guess if this dude died during his robbery no one would care? Weird world.
Run from the cops expect to get shot. STUPID games get stupid prizes. HE CHOSE to run, he got the gun.
Donte's Mom and Dad failed him as parents.
I'm a huge advocate for backing the blue…. That said, there are bad cops. Potter was a bad cop in the worst way. Super incompetent. She should still be in the clink.
Wait… he had a warrant and ran from the cops?
So don’t run, and this doesn’t happen.
Whatever whatever wow 🤬🤬🤬🤬😊
🙏✝️🙌👍👏❣️
That’s a no go time for country justice eye for eye and tooth for a tooth!!!
Can’t remember the guys name who she killed, I do know he’s not terrorizing anyone else so that’s good.
File a wrongful death lawsuit against her
This news coverage trash… his warrant was a traffic ticket & A trash Judge went against the jury & gave her 2yrs … I hope someone off her azz
Must be nice to be a cop
BLK motorist….
Race baiting as usual
This woman was a hero, she saved lives, theses type of criminals don't stop tell their stopped!!! 👍❤😍😉✔✔✔✔
She messed up but homeboy should of followed the rules 🤔
That dead guy got what he deserved. I’m glad the cop was released.
It’s a coincidence! I just thought about her and searched her name. Kudos!!! Have a good rest, Kim!
Such a shame she killed that young man
Cops are supposed to be the city's finest. Looks like they're the finest at screwing up. They're suppose to have Moral Turpitude – knowing right from wrong yet this one does fit either quality. Good luck as she's out on her own now a convicted criminal. As the question as ing fast and furious the difference between a cop and a criminal is one wrong decision.
Good. It was a tragic story but she didn't murder anyone
Yea white people don’t get much time in this system.
Injustice is a understatement. Y’all need to wake up.
Hand it to mainstream media bringing up old wounds to incite riots. Same news that supports defund the police, and DA's who require no bond for real criminals. She made a mistake and paid her debt to society. Leave it alone.
So I get 3 years for making moonshine and she literally kills a guy and is out in 6 months how does that make sense
She'll get hired at another police station.
wth?
How is she going to defend her self against the thugs if she “can’t have a gun”
Good, she deserves to be home.
Daunte caused all of this. Sad story but he was the one with the warrant. He was the one who ran and fought the police.
Wow. 16 whole months.
