Former Minnesota-area police officer Kim Potter, who’s on trial for the capturing loss of life of Daunte Wright, broke down in tears a number of instances as she testified in her personal defence on Friday and at one level mentioned she “did not need to damage anyone” as prosecution pressed her over the incident.
Throughout the defence’s questioning about particulars involving the capturing, Potter mentioned the visitors cease that led to the incident “simply went chaotic” after Wright tried to get again into his automotive and depart.
“I keep in mind yelling, ‘Taser, Taser, Taser,’ and nothing occurred, after which he informed me I shot him,” she mentioned in tears.
Prosecutor Erin Eldridge additionally had Potter watch bodycam footage through which it reveals the then-officer pointing her firearm at Wright. Potter then broke down in tears once more, prompting a break request by the defence.
The defence rested their case on Friday on the finish of the second week of testimony, with Potter as their ultimate witness. It is anticipated closing arguments will start Monday.

Not one tear
Police should be given an easy to deploy wheel lock to disable the vehicle until the end of the traffic stop. I also would not like them to have a gun — but the reality is that in a country where guns are freely available, anyone could be at risk of being shot at, especially police officers. (I am not justifying this lady, as I don't know all details. I am 100% opposed to the racial inequalities that overwhelmingly victimize the blacks, the poor whites, other poor people, and the downtrodden, like the homeless. )
The dry-eyed "hysteria" wears thin early on. If anyone can spot a tear, please provide the time stamp. The prosecutor can hardly disguise her disdain for this performance.
Police should probably know which side their taser is on. Dropout minimum wage losers should probably not drive around in cars with expired registrations when they have open warrants for possessing illegal firearms and a history of running from the police THEN once again run from the police.
One is dead and has his face on posters for a movement that has become a parody of itself. The other is probably going to jail. What a mess of a country.
She needs to be convicted. Officers of the law pledged to serve and protect; mag dumping someone because you "thought it was a teaser" doesn't cut it. Accountability for people like this should be firing squads, crocodile tears shouldn't spare you.
fakest crying ever!
Blm is a domestic terrorist organization.
Criminals are stupid. So I don't care, I would let her go with a warning, paid vacation then reassign her to a different precinct and give her two guns
Shes traumatized and made a mistake and has true remorse. MAY THE SAME JUDGEMENT BE BROUGHT TO THE SERIOUS EVIL MURDERERS PUSHING THE JAB-o-CIDE. This women is innocent. BRING THE TRUE TYRANTS TO JUSTICE.
Maybe should look for a different profession
The is womans mistake is being exploited and used as a distraction from OUR NAZI LEADERS FACING HIGH TREASON AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
I look forward to seeing the actual trials and tribunals of the ROYALS and MANEVOLANT FORCES abusing the people of our great nation for ELITES TO PROFIT.
What about all the police officers who willingly helped the elites traffic children? Removing innocent children from their beds and putting them into harms way. How they are betrating this poor woman is discusting!
fake white woman privilege tears
Fine display of why affirmative action is a complete failure. Two wrongs never make a right.
I believe her, but she screwed up so bad she need to answer to killing a person. A 26 year veteran should, must know how to handle her sidearm.
TASER TASER TASER *bang *bang *bang
He resisted arrest. He was trying to escape. He would've gone on a high speed chase, endangering countless lives. When he pulled away when they were trying to handcuff him, they had no idea whether or not he was reaching for a gun in his car (happens alot). And bottom line is, don't resist arrest. Do not fight the police in the roadside, fight them jn court you dummy. Dude played a stupid game and now his family doesn't get to see him come home.
This is a plain example of someone who should never have been allowed to be a police officer and it sadly has resulted in someones death. She has no excuse for anything, nothing makes sense except for two options, she intentionally murdered him or she simply was not trained well enough and did not have the proper capacity to make the decisions that a police officer needs to be able to make in a short amount of time. Either way she is 100% guilty and deserves to be in prison for a very long time.
A criminal, with multiple priors, committing more crimes, and fleeing/fighting police. The scumbag did it to himself. It was obviously an accident anyway. People care about scumbag criminals for some reason.
Being confused between a taser and a gun, shouldn`t give her a free pass, that`s what training is for.
We leave in a world were women can get away by crying.
I just watched the body cam footage. It was clearly an accident on her part and Cleary purposeful on the criminals part. Perhaps all of you rather have seen the male officer dragged to his death by these dangerous thugs but this time I think it was right to not only taser but shoot as well. Have any of you out here in zombie land even bothered to watch the body cam footage??? I’m not a fan of her and her snivelling, even after the shooting she broke down immediately and it’s not an act. She doesn’t deserve jail time but she should be discharged.
She still shot him, yes?
What tears?
She has the Rittenhouse cry.
HE HAD A GUN INSIDE THE CAR AND WAS A CRIMINAL WITH A WARRANT HE RESISTED ARREST
I LIKE THE OUTFIT SHE IS WEARING MAKES HER LOOK MORE INNOCENT
Getting shot by police is easy to avoid
Put her away, omnipresent
Put her away, total Incomprehensible incompetence.
WHY IS NOBODY SHOWING THE TRIAL OF THE WORST DEVIL OF THE WORLD “GHISLAINE MAXWELL PRISON DATE” GHISLAINE TORTURES CHILDREN AND ZERO MEDIA COVERAGE 😂😂😂😂 corporate media are the new comedy skits of the world
HOW CAN WE REMOVE THESE MAINSTREAM NEWS TO BE PERMANENTLY REMOVED FROM ANY SMARTPHONES????
The pain of this recount isn't enough to serve justice for this murder.
Poor lady. I saw finance executives, scientists, transportations professionals, politicians and pharma companies ruining the lives of millions of people due to professional mistakes. Why police officers would face jail for one professional error that caused only one life. And these heartless lawyers pretending to care about anything… what a world were living in
Just leave Brittany alone !
I am not sure she deserves jail time for this. She should never have been a cop in the first place. She was clearly not trained well or had any sort of psych evaluation. I do not believe she wanted to or intended to kill someone, She went into panic mode when she saw the other officer was losing the battle to control the car. Why do people have to resist the police in the first place. Especially in America, you know that could be a death sentence. Why resist? If you are guilty of nothing then why fight?
I feel for everybody who had the misfortune to be involved in this terrible event
So why can we see this but not the elite pedo ring court hearing? That is the most important hearing of our lifetimes.
Well, you did. And the mob needs blood.
So this media shows pictures of the guy with his kid and pictures of potter in jail scrubs
I don’t see any tears.
So many idiots in the comments acting the part of lawyer/judge. She got manslaughter charges, not murder charges. There’s a huge difference, cope harder.
She is nothing more than a lier like every other cop. She's only upset because she got caught and held accountable then had her blue privilege denied. Added stop your crying woman, you thought you could just get away with it.
Don't put guns on the hands of those who are not capable of handling panic and hignh stress situations.
One thing here that stands out is that Potter does not speak Duante's name … she calls him "the driver." Even in death, he's an anonymous entity. I find that troubling. Americans, in general, have become impersonal and detached.
She didn't cry. Lol
Just arrest
Brutally police need stop …and stop killing people for nothing
Killing …that a solution you stupid police….you guys are 5 police armed ..and you killing unarmed …are you crazy…learn working….policeman from Germany from higher educadet countries
