Kim Potter trial...any predictions? No LL, not after the verdict.

[NoirMan]

Guilt on both counts.

If perps did as instructed by the Police. Things like this would have zero chance in happening. A clear mistake on her part. A month suspension w/o pay should be the only punishment!

If he had managed to hit the gas and take off, he would have at the least dragged the cop if not run over him therefore giving her the right to fire in his defense.


?

Which is why I think she should be acquitted.

You can't just fight the law.

She had no business being on the street other than to fill an equity quota?

If she wasn't competent enough to be out on the streets....than the Department should be held liable.

Not her criminally.

I think I read where that was the first time she'd ever used either in the line of duty.

She already quit....after that testimony....ain't no Police Department in the whole country would hire her. I'd rather have Scooby Do as my partner.

Maybe she shouldn’t have pulled him over for having an air freshener hanging on his rear view mirror.

Hey, they carted her ass straight to jail. Guilty as charged.

It is pretty obvious this woman should have never been a cop in the first place. Maybe a meter maid would have been a better career choice.

It’s too bad she had to meet Mr Dante Wright that day. By all accounts, he was a real piece of shit. But then, that is what cops have to deal with on a daily basis.

Too bad. Dante Wright is dead, she goes to jail. Her kids and husband loose a mother and wife.

Society looses Dante Wright.

I guess that is the silver lining.

But then it escalated when Wright had no drivers license, no proof of insurance, and did indeed have an outstanding felony warrant.

Just another day in the “Hood”.

Well what did LL predict?

And after her testimony as well as her reaction on the video, she proved she had no business being on patrol and armed.

The department fucked up by letting her do both. I agree they should be held liable. And I'm sure they will in the civil suits.

But she straight up killed that kid. Mistake or not, she fucking killed him with a gun. I hope she doesn't have to spend too much time behind bar, but the law is the law. She ticked all the boxes for the crimes for which she was convicted.

Was she convicted?

[WTF]

Well...I'll be damn.

The jury has spoken.

Gotta respect that.

Damn...she really stopped him because he had a air freshener on his windshield! Crazy.
