Guilty of all counts...
There are two different counts... first degree manslaughter and second degree manslaughter. The difference is basically to the degree that the jury might find Potter "reckless" in her actions. The fact that the jury could not come to a consensus for so long suggests either that some were holding out for the first degree charge or that some were holding out for an acquittal or possibly some holding out on both sides.
Whenever a jury is out this long and there are issues with obvious disagreement and lack of consensus I might believe that some sort of compromise might have been met. The issue of Christmas coming up and the possibility of having to come back after the weekend, is a second reason to believe that circumstances pushed the jury to reach some sort of compromise.
I didn't watch any of the trial (sort of burned out on high profile political trials) - but there are arguments on both sides. Some argue that there is evidence to convict her of first degree manslaughter while others suggest that there is enough doubt to reach an acquittal. Use of force experts had suggested that even though she meant to use a taser, that a gun was not an inappropriate response under the circumstances.
Just over an hour from now, we will have the answers.

A Minneapolis jury reached an "outcome" on Thursday in the trial of Kim Potter, a former police officer charged with fatally shooting Daunte Wright, a Black motorist — accidentally, she's claimed, by grabbing her gun instead of a Taser.
Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu is expected to reveal the outcome — reached by a panel of two Asian Americans, one Black person and nine whites — between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. CST.
Potter, a former Brooklyn Center police officer, who is white, has pleaded not guilty to first- and second-degree manslaughter charges for the April 11 death of 20-year-old Wright.
While prosecutors and the defense agree that Potter didn't set out to kill Wright when he was pulled over earlier this year, they disagree about her potential criminal culpability.
A conviction on first-degree manslaughter would mean Potter improperly used "such force and violence that death of or great bodily harm to any person was reasonably foreseeable."
I got the information 2 minutes ago
The second-degree manslaughter charge alleges that Potter's "culpable negligence" created "unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another."
The charges carry a maximum sentence of 15 years and 10 years, respectively.
Wright's fatal shooting happened about 10 miles from the courthouse where former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was on trial for the slaying of George Floyd.
Days later, Chauvin, who is white, was convicted of second- and third-degree murder, as well as second-degree manslaughter, in the May 25, 2020, killing of Floyd, a Black man, whose death touched off a summer of national protests calling for an end to institutional racism.
Potter's trial was held in the same courtroom where Chauvin's trial was carried out.
A tearful Potter testified in her own defense last week and described a "chaotic" scene that required her to make a split-second decision.
Wright was being arrested on an outstanding weapons charge when he tried getting back into his car. Potter testified that she feared for the safety of another officer, Sgt. Mychal Johnson, who was struggling with Wright from the passenger side.
Potter holstered her Glock on her right, dominant side and her Taser on the left.
The prosecution played footage from Potter's body camera for jurors, showing how the officer had the Glock in her hand for at least five seconds before firing the deadly round.
The Glock used to kill Wright weighed 2.11 pounds, compared to the .94-pound Taser that emanates light and needed a safety switch to be pulled before use, prosecutors said.
We will know in 90 minutes or less.
If they convict her
The second-degree manslaughter charge alleges that Potter's "culpable negligence" created "unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another."
I didn't watch it either
Thank you captain repeat everything coldheartedtruth just said.
Why do you keep doing that?
Thank you captain repeat everything coldheartedtruth just said.
It took him 10,000 words to say what I stated in a sentence. It is all about the degree of recklessness or negligence she used.
All I can say is that very few people coming out of school will want to be cops anymore. Say what you will about police protecting each other, but without that protection it's open season on any cop who makes a mistake or any cop involved with anyone black who gets harmed.
Even worse news.
Consumer Prices Up 5.7% Over Past Year

“U.S. consumer prices rose 5.7% over the past year, the fastest pace in 39 years, as a surge in inflation confronts Americans with the holiday shopping season under way,” the AP reports.
Okay Scott Trump news from Karl Rove
President Trump has formally endorsed 85 Republican candidates so far this year, probably far more than any other president so soon after leaving office. He’s backed incumbents, primary challengers and candidates in open races for everything from the Senate and House down to state representatives and even a small-town mayor’s office, often with statements offering his “Complete and Total Endorsement!”
Mr. Trump is likely doing this to maintain his hold over the GOP and keep open the possibility of a 2024 White House run. He also gets to enjoy a steady stream of supplicants arriving at his Mar-a-Lago estate or Bedminster, N.J., golf course to seek his backing.
Some recipients of his endorsements are Trump populists. Others are more-traditional Republicans, a few of whom didn’t seek his affirmation and learned about it from Twitter. Many are in strong GOP districts or states and lack serious Democratic opposition, leaving the impression that Mr. Trump wants to pad his win-loss record.
Settling scores is a high priority for the former president. Ohio Rep. Anthony Gonzalez supported Mr. Trump’s impeachment following the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol. Mr. Trump endorsed his primary opponent, a Trump White House staffer named Max Miller, and Mr. Gonzalez subsequently announced he wouldn’t run in 2022. The Ohio Legislature then cut up the seat in redistricting, putting Mr. Miller in a Democratic-leaning district. Mr. Trump is backing primary opponents to other Republican House members who supported his impeachment, but that hasn’t led to any other withdrawals so far.
That may be because Mr. Trump’s endorsement is hardly a guarantee of an election victory for his chosen candidate. Take two cases earlier this year. The former president endorsed a Republican in a Texas special congressional election, Susan Wright, who lost in July to another Republican, state Rep. Jake Ellzey. In the Pennsylvania Senate GOP primary, Mr. Trump’s endorsed candidate, Sean Parnell, ended his campaign in November after losing a child-custody case in which his former wife alleged he abused her and their children.
Where many politicians are parsimonious about endorsements, carefully weighing the risks and rewards of tying their brand to the fortunes of lesser-known candidates, Mr. Trump has defied convention. His endorsement seems often to depend on how vocally a candidate is willing to support his claim that the 2020 election was stolen through widespread fraud, and not so much on a candidate’s viability. This leaves Mr. Trump backing candidates who will likely falter in the general election.
In his business career, Mr. Trump put his name on everything from steaks to menswear to vodka, with mixed results. Now he risks more than diluting his personal brand. Mr. Trump could help some Democrats hang on in an otherwise devastating election cycle in 2022 by forcing their opponents to harangue voters about an unpopular topic. If the GOP can’t learn to shake the Trump obsession with alleged election fraud, the former president could even hand Democrats the White House—again.
Alleged election fraud.
Will you say that?????
Mr. Rove helped organize the political-action committee American Crossroads and is author of “The Triumph of William McKinley” (Simon & Schuster, 2015).
Hopefully she walks.

The judge has the verdict but the jury is not in the room now
Manslaughter guilty both charges
A Minneapolis jury on Thursday convicted former police officer Kim Potter on all charges she faced for fatally shooting Black motorist Daunte Wright earlier this year.
The Hennepin County panel found Potter guilty of first-degree manslaughter, meaning she improperly used “such force and violence that death of or great bodily harm to any person was reasonably foreseeable.”
She was not emotional when the verdict was read.

In your mind he is just another dead black man
What a shame. She helped scrape some more scum off the streets and Ellison crucifies her.
Swearing another dead black man is not wrong again and again and again and like you
Contrary to the media’s black victimhood narrative, there’s a very good reason Wright was in a position to be confronted by the police and in a way that most people are not.
In addition to allegedly committing a slew of gun crimes before the age of 20 (based on only one year and six months of public records), Wright was stopped for driving with expired license plate tags. He didn’t have car insurance. He also didn’t have a driver’s license. (And yes, white people are busted for these infractions all the time.)
When the officers ran his name, they discovered that Wright was driving on a suspended license, there was a restraining order against him, and a bench warrant for his arrest on a weapons charge. They had no choice: They had to arrest him. But as one officer began to handcuff him, Wright resisted, jumped back in his car and was about to flee — along with an officer trapped in the passenger window, trying to get control of the gears.
That’s when Wright got shot.
In other words, this case isn’t exactly a primo example of “Driving While Black.” That’s why The New York Times hides all the pertinent facts.
For example, last week, the Times finally — glancingly — mentioned Wright’s lack of a driver’s license and insurance. (That’s if you don’t count a recent article about how Minnesota laws adversely affect minorities — “even regulations about driver’s licenses and renewal of tags.”)
On the other hand, the Times has run 16 articles about Wright’s … air freshener! (E.g.: “How a Common Air Freshener Can Result in a High-Stakes Traffic Stop”). That’s 16 more than all its articles on Hunter Biden’s laptop!
What is the Times talking about? It seems that, immediately after the shooting, Wright’s mother told the media that he’d been stopped merely for having an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror — AND NOW HE WAS DEAD!
That’s completely untrue, but it’s the story the Times is going with. No new information will be allowed to penetrate the paper’s BLM cocoon.
Times reporters must have heard about the armed robbery/choking incident, because they’ve repeatedly quoted Wright’s accomplice in the crime, Emajay Driver. On April 13, Nov. 30, Dec. 8 and Dec. 17 the Times ran some version of this quote:
“‘He loved to make people laugh,’ said Emajay Driver, a friend of Mr. Wright. ‘He was just great to be around. There was never a dull moment.'”
And that’s all we get from Mr. Driver.
New York Times: Say, we saw that police report about you and Daunte nearly choking a woman to death while committing an armed robbery. So naturally, we have to ask: Do you by any chance have any heartwarming stories about him?
Somewhat more important than Daunte’s love of laughter are the details of that incident, given at length in America’s Greatest Newspaper, the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
On Dec. 1, 2019, Wright and Driver crashed at the apartment of a 20-year-old woman they’d been partying with. The next morning, the woman’s roommate went out to get $820 in rent money, handed it to her, then left for work.
Just before the attack, Wright locked himself in the victim’s bathroom for a noticeably long time in order to make videos of himself with a gun, and to empty a bottle of hand sanitizer onto his gun. (Daunte, with his simple, trusting nature, apparently believed an urban legend that sanitizer “blocks” fingerprints.)
Minutes later, as the three of them were exiting the apartment, Wright suddenly blocked the door, pointed the gun at the woman’s head, saying, “Give me the f-ing money. I know you have it.” (Me to The New York Times: Give us the f-ing facts. We know you have them.)
She refused, asking “Are you serious?” Wright barked, “We’re not playing around,” and grabbed her by the neck, choking her, as she dropped to her knees, with the gun in his other hand still pointed at her head. “You look into his eyes,” the victim later said, “and it’s so evil.”
Next, he tried ripping her shirt open to get the money, perhaps having seen her hiding it in her bra earlier. She screamed, and Wright began choking her again. (As Wright’s accomplice so poignantly said, there was never a dull moment with this guy.)
Finally, Wright and Driver ran off, hopping into a white Cadillac that was waiting for them.
They were arrested five days later. Driver pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated robbery, his second felony conviction. He was facing 20 years in prison, but only got probation, leading some to speculate that he’d made a deal to testify against Wright.
Again: The Times hasn’t printed a single detail of Wright’s give-me-the-f-ing-money robbery attempt. Or the lawsuit about the carjacking. In more than 100 articles, there were two brief mentions of his shooting a guy in the head.
As for the trial of Kim Potter, the officer who shot Wright, neither the prosecution nor defense disputes that it was a mistake, that she thought she was holding her Taser. Several officers, and the defense’s use-of-force expert, testified that Potter would have been fully justified in shooting Wright in order to protect the other officer from being dragged by the car.
But Wright “loved to make people laugh.” That’s all the Times wants you to know.

Just another dead n*****r
Potter deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Daunte Demetrius Wright was a 20-year-old living in Minneapolis, having recently moved there from Chicago.[25][26][27] He was the son of a Black father and a White mother.[28][4][29] Wright's father said that Wright had dropped out of high school about two years earlier due to a learning disability,[
People with learning disabilities should not be dead because they are not white enough
because they he was not white enough for you
I will show Roger what Trump is up to in another post later today!
The party of Body Bag Biden only seeks to divide us on race.
I stand against that .
Wright was a lifelong criminal who beat up women...
Of course Roger would side with him over a police officer.
He has way more in common with the women-beater than someone trying to uphold the law!
The party of Body Bag Biden have declared the China Virus over, just like that, well, they will milk it a bit more, then they will declare victory.
Gov. Whitless in Michigan showed to much leg on this issue.
Wright's father said that Wright had dropped out of high school about two years earlier due to a learning disability,
She refused, asking “Are you serious?” Wright barked, “We’re not playing around,” and grabbed her by the neck, choking her, as she dropped to her knees, with the gun in his other hand still pointed at her head. “You look into his eyes,” the victim later said, “and it’s so evil.”
Next, he tried ripping her shirt open to get the money, perhaps having seen her hiding it in her bra earlier. She screamed, and Wright began choking her again. (As Wright’s accomplice so poignantly said, there was never a dull moment with this guy.)
Well alky, he sure was a quick study when it came to "learning" how to become a violent felon.
The piece of shit is exactly where he belongs.
Speaking of violent criminal blacks, where's the Waukesha scumbag who murdered six? Memory holed.
How about that little scumbag school shooter from Texas who was bailed out the next fucking day? Memory holed.
Or all those blacks who attacked and beat up Asians like it's their fucking JOB? Memory holed.
For every Daun-tay who get's what's coming to them, there are thousands more who will murder, rape and steal their way to infamy.
And have you seen the Chicago crimes stats year to date?
It sure ain't the Mormon Tabernacle Choir stacking that body count.
Potter's a hero.
I will show Roger what Trump is up to in another post later today!
We know. Stoking every kind of hatred and racial resentment.
Kim Potter Looks on as She's Convicted of Manslaughter
Kim Potter, the former Minnesota police officer who shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop, showed very little outward emotion Thursday as she was convicted of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter.
Potter, 49, stood between her attorneys, who placed their hands on her shoulders, as Judge Regina Chu read the verdict at around 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time. When the first verdict was read, Potter blinked her eyes, pursed her lips, and looked down. She had the appearance of someone who perhaps wasn’t surprised by the verdict; she did not seem defiant, but instead appeared resigned to the result.
“In the matter of State of Minnesota versus Kimberly Potter … we the jury on the charge of manslaughter in the first degree, while committing a misdemeanor on or about April 11, 2021, in Hennepin County, state of Minnesota, find the defendant guilty,
Redundant Roger.
Off meds
Roger cheers the verdict...
Because men beating up on women is good thing!
I actually feel sorry for the cop......she screwed up royally, admitted such and now has to pay the price.....Too bad she is only one of far too many cops who killed without justification and were not caught....This verdict goes to those who have lost loved ones and are still waiting for justice. Unlike the goat fucker who is just plain stupid in his relentless idiocy of everything anti America, justice is finally served!!!!

Absolutely. Every one of these scumbags who got to take the big dirt nap was a violent and repeat felon, and someone who reveled in beating the shit out of women, and the alky mourns their loss like they were family.
