Daunte Wright Memorial at George Floyd Square in August 2024. Wright was killed by Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter in April 2021. Potter was found guilty of 1st and 2nd degree manslaughter and sentenced to 2 years in prison in December 2021.
Daunte Wright’s family joined activists and protesters outside the courthouse to respond to today’s sentencing. “…she’s gonna do a year and a half” “This is the epitome of corruption, the epitome of disrespect. The communities back is up against the wall, how much do you expect us to take?”
As the 1st juror is selected on day one of the Potter trial, a small group of community activists and protesters are outside the Hennepin County Government Center with large air fresheners in the grass. A prosecutor previously said officers noticed an air freshener hanging from mirror.
