A Minnesota judge handed down an extra lenient prison sentence of just 24 months to former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter for killing Daunte Wright after purportedly confusing a Taser for a gun in suburban Minneapolis last year.
Brooklyn Center authorities released information pertaining to Potter's service file, which could be viewed as an attempt to persuade the public's perception after Potter shot and killed Wright in the midst of a traffic stop on April 11.
The funeral for Daunte Wright, one of the most recent victims of preventable police violence against unarmed Black people, was set to take place Thursday in Minneapolis.
The family stated that there is no sufficient form of justice because they have to venture through life without their son, but urged for "accountability at the highest level."
Potter initially resigned from the police department on Tuesday (April 13), two days after the shooting death of Wright.
