BREAKING: Former Minnesota police officer Kim Potter to be charged with 2nd-degree manslaughter in shooting death of Daunte Wright, county attorney says.
quote:
609.205 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
A person who causes the death of another by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both:
(1) by the person's culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another; or
(2) by shooting another with a firearm or other dangerous weapon as a result of negligently believing the other to be a deer or other animal; or
(3) by setting a spring gun, pit fall, deadfall, snare, or other like dangerous weapon or device; or
(4) by negligently or intentionally permitting any animal, known by the person to have vicious propensities or to have caused great or substantial bodily harm in the past, to run uncontrolled off the owner's premises, or negligently failing to keep it properly confined; or
(5) by committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.378 (neglect or endangerment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.
If proven by a preponderance of the evidence, it shall be an affirmative defense to criminal liability under clause (4) that the victim provoked the animal to cause the victim's death.

It’s a step below 1st degree if I’m reading the statute correctly.

Giving cops two similar weapons is stupid and needs to end.

Basically if you accidentally kill someone.
Like if someone kills someone accidentally with manslaughter, they are charged with 2nd degree.

That’s not going to satisfy the savages
Posted on 4/14/21 at 11:33 am to OysterPoBoy
How's that even possible?
Posted on 4/14/21 at 11:33 am to GEAUXmedic
This one seems ripe for a plea deal. She definitely fricked up and deserves some jail time.

No kidding. When crap hits the fan, like it did, you better be paying well a highly trained individual to make decisions. We are not doing that.

No doubt she was a dumb bitch but resisting arrest is what sparked it. Both are in the wrong. Duante is as much to blame as the dumb bitch who shot him.

Why would you jump to this conclusion? Because of a very small amount of poor outcomes? It’s been used tens thousands of times successfully and may have saved hundreds of lives of cops and criminals.

they will find something to bitch about and probably riot regardless

Is this what they'd charge a civilian with if they accidentally discharged a firearm and killed someone? (And it can be proven it was an accident)
Because that would be fair if so.
ETA:
Just read above. It's negligence. That is a fair charge. This was outrageously stupid of that police officer and someone died as a result.
She might not get any jail time. It appears there is no minimum or requirement in that regard.

Reasonable charge given the circumstances. Will probably plea.
