John Pope Jr. was just 14 in September 2017 when he says Chauvin subjected him to gratuitous force while responding to a domestic assault report. The other case alleges Chauvin used excessive force against Zoya Code in June 2017 after she allegedly tried to strangle her mother with an extension cord. Both lawsuits claim racism; Pope and Code are Black and Chauvin is white. They allege the city knew he had a record of misconduct but didn't stop him and let him stay on the job long enough to kill Floyd on May 25, 2020, a case that led to a national reckoning on racial injustice. Both lawsuits seek unspecified damages and name other officers involved. The Minneapolis City Attorney's Office indicated it is considering settlements. Criminal charges against Pope and Code were eventually dropped. The incidents involving John Pope and Zoya Code are disturbing, Interim City Attorney Peter Ginder said in a statement. “We intend to move forward in negotiations with the Plaintiffs on these two matters and hope we can reach a reasonable settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached on one or both lawsuits, the disputes will have to be resolved through the normal course of litigation.”,Chauvin’s attorneys have not responded to requests for comment. Also read | Isimemen Etute acquitted of charges in murder of gay man posing as a woman,Pope and Code are represented by Minneapolis civil rights attorney Robert Bennett, who negotiated a $20 million settlement for the family of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, an Australian woman who was fatally shot by a Minneapolis police officer in 2017. Bennett also negotiated a nearly $3 million settlement for the family of Philando Castile, a Black motorist killed by a suburban officer in 2016. The city paid out $27 million to the family of George Floyd. Bennett was not involved in that settlement. Chauvin admitted to many of Pope’s allegations when he pleaded guilty in December to federal civil rights charges in Floyd’s death, a deal that also included a guilty plea for his actions against Pope. Chauvin is awaiting sentencing on the federal charges. He was sentenced to 22 1/2 years in state court last year for murdering Floyd by pressing his knee to the Black man's neck for 9 1/2 minutes as he pleaded that he couldn't breathe. According to Pope's complaint, his mother was drunk when she called police because she was upset with him and his 16-year-old sister for leaving their cellphone chargers plugged in when not in use, leading to a physical confrontation. It alleges Chauvin struck Pope in the head with a large metal flashlight at least four times as a scuffle ensued, then put Pope in a chokehold. “Defendant Chauvin then executed his signature move: he pinned John to the floor with his body weight, pressing his left knee into John’s upper back and neck. ... Chauvin would proceed to hold John in this prone position for more than fifteen minutes, all while John was completely subdued and not resisting, the complaint alleges. Over those minutes, John repeatedly cried out that he could not breathe.”,The complaint alleges that at least eight other officers did nothing to intervene. It says Chauvin did not mention in his report that he had hit Pope with his flashlight, nor did he mention pinning Pope for so long. Chauvin's sergeant reviewed and approved his report and use of force, “despite having firsthand knowledge that the report was false and misleading,” it alleges. Also read | How US schools reacted to the Uvalde shooting,The lawsuit alleges that in addition to physical injuries, Pope suffered significant emotional distress and continues to attend counseling and therapy. Code's lawsuit alleges Chauvin and another officer were investigating her mother's assault report when they handcuffed her on the ground after a brief struggle. When she refused to stand up, the officers carried her outside. “Outside the residence, Defendant Chauvin gratuitously slammed Zoya’s unprotected head on the ground. Then he immediately took his signature pose, kneeing on the back of Zoya’s neck,” the complaint alleges. It says, his knee was on her neck for 4 minutes and 41 seconds. Code's complaint alleges that Chauvin's partner that day did nothing to intervene, and that his sergeant that shift later reviewed and approved the use of force. Code acknowledges having a history of mental illness and homelessness, and alleges Chauvin's actions made her condition worse. Both lawsuits claim if the department had disciplined Chauvin back then, “history could have been stopped from repeating itself with George Floyd.”","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"44.9778","longitude":"-93.265","name":"Minneapolis, MN, USA","city":"Minneapolis"},"keywords":"Minneapolis,George Floyd,Floyd,Bennett,John,Minnesotans,Derek Chauvin,John Pope Jr.,Minneapolis City,John Pope,Peter Ginder,Robert Bennett,Australian,Philando Castile,Pope","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-01T16:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"gj9DVeljp1gD","slug":"english/federal-judge-sentences-derek-chauvin-to-20-25-years-in-prison-over-george-floyds-death","slugV2":"usa/federal-judge-sentences-derek-chauvin-to-20-25-years-in-prison-over-george-floyds-death-314876/","title":"Federal judge sentences Derek Chauvin to 20-25 years in prison over George Floyd's death","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_nX12yyPF6k5.jpg","coverCaption":"Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin.

Prosecutor Manda Sertich singled out each former officer — Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane — as the government wrapped up its case in the monthlong trial. Kueng knelt on Floyd’s back, Thomas Lane held his legs and Tou Thao kept bystanders back. Also read: Officer charged in George Floyd's killing says his role was crowd control,Thao stared directly at Officer Derek Chauvin as Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for 9 1/2 minutes, Sertich said, noting that Thao also ignored bystanders’ pleas to help a man who was dying “right before their eyes. She said Kueng casually picked gravel from a police SUV’s tire as Chauvin “mocked George Floyd’s pleas by saying it took a heck of a lot of oxygen to keep talking.” And Lane’s remarks showed that he knew Floyd was in distress but “did nothing to give Mr. Floyd the medical aid he knew Mr. Floyd so desperately needed,” the prosecutor said. All three are charged with depriving Floyd of his right to medical care as Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for 9 1/2 minutes. Lane held the 46-year-old Black man’s feet, Kueng knelt on his back and Thao held back bystanders. Also read: 2 cops plan to testify about George Floyd killing; prosecutors rest,Kueng and Thao are also charged with failing to intervene to stop Chauvin during the May 25, 2020, killing that triggered protests worldwide and a reexamination of racism and policing. Prosecutors have argued that the officers violated their training by not rolling Floyd onto his side or giving him CPR, and by not intervening to stop Chauvin. Sertich discounted Lane’s attempt to perform CPR after the ambulance arrived, saying the officers chose to do nothing for 2 1/2 “precious minutes” after Floyd became unresponsive and before the ambulance arrived. “They chose to do nothing, and their choice resulted in Mr. Floyd’s death,” she said. ,Also read: Trial to resume for cops accused of violating Floyd's rights,Defense attorneys argued that the Minneapolis Police Department’s training was inadequate. They also attacked a police culture that they said teaches officers to defer to their seniors, saying that Chauvin called all the shots at the scene. Lane and Kueng, who were both rookies, argued that they deferred to Chauvin. But Sertich rejected those arguments: “Officer Chauvin isn’t ordering these defendants around, he’s barely talking to them,” she said. “The officers knew George Floyd couldn’t breathe, and was dying.”,The prosecutor ran through the elements necessary to prove that Thou and Kueng failed to intervene, saying they did nothing, “not one statement, not one gesture, not one physical intervention,” to stop Chauvin. She also highlighted Thou’s status as a veteran officer: “He certainly had the means to save Chauvin from himself.”,Both counts include language that the officers “willfully” deprived Floyd of his constitutional rights. Sertich told jurors the government doesn't have to prove the officers acted with ill will toward Floyd or intended to hurt him. On the intervention charge, she said, prosecutors merely had to prove that the officers knew the force Chauvin was using was unreasonable and that they had a duty to stop it but didn't. And on the charge that Floyd was denied medical care, the fact that the officers knew Floyd was in distress but did nothing is proof of willfulness, she said. Also read: 3 officers at George Floyd killing didn't follow training, defense says,Sertich contrasted the officers’ inaction with the desperate cries of bystanders pleading with them to get off Floyd and to check for a pulse: “Even though they had no power, no authority, no obligation, they knew they had to do something. Those bystanders, Sertich said, gave Thao and Kueng “play by play commentary” that should have raised their awareness that Floyd was in trouble — shouting that Floyd could not breathe, that he wasn’t responsive and urging the officers to look at him. “Anyone ... can recognize that someone with a knee on their neck, who has slowly lost their ability to speak, stopped moving and has gone unconscious has a serious medical need,” Sertich said, urging jurors to review videos of what happened, including a widely seen bystander video, that she said show more than what any witness could describe. During the trial, Lane testified that he asked twice if Floyd should be rolled over but was rebuffed, and that he held his position because an ambulance was on the way. Kueng testified that Chauvin was his former training officer and that he had considerable sway over his career. He said he trusted Chauvin’s advice. Thao testified that he was watching the bystanders and he trusted that the officers behind him were caring for Floyd. Chauvin pleaded guilty in the federal case in December, months after he was convicted of state murder and manslaughter charges. Closing arguments in the current trial were expected to take most of Tuesday before the case goes to the jury. At the start of the trial, U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson selected 18 jurors, including six alternates. Fourteen remain — 12 who will deliberate and two alternates. The court did not release demographic information, but the jury appeared largely white. Lane, who is white, Kueng, who is Black, and Thao, who is Hmong American, also face a separate trial in June on state charges alleging that they aided and abetted murder and manslaughter. The trial was wrapping up just as another major civil rights trial in Georgia resulted in the conviction of three white men on hate crimes charges in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man who was chased and shot in February 2020.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"44.9778","longitude":"-93.265","name":"Minneapolis, MN, USA","city":"Minneapolis"},"keywords":null,"originalPublishedOn":"2022-02-22T23:48:53+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"GE5YELHRX2vP","slug":"english/portland-protest-against-police-violence-turns-deadly-1-killed-5-hurt","slugV2":"world/portland-protest-against-police-violence-turns-deadly-1-killed-5-hurt-311866/","title":"Portland protest against police violence turns deadly, 1 killed 5 hurt","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_svNA_e5Wfz9l.jpg","coverCaption":"Portland police violence protest turned deadly due to shooting.

And for that I’ll never be able to forgive you. And I’ll never be able to forgive you for what you’ve stolen from us,” a tearful Wright said. Also read: What was former Minneapolis cop Kim Potter charged with in Daunte Wright death?,“A police officer who was supposed to serve and protect so much took so much away from us ... My life and my world will never ever be the same again,” she said, adding later: “Daunte Demetrius Wright, I will continue to fight in your name until driving while black is no longer a death sentence.”,Wright was killed after Brooklyn Center officers pulled him over for having expired license tags and an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror. The shooting, which came in the midst of Derek Chauvin’s trial on murder charges in George Floyd’s killing, sparked several days of demonstrations outside the Brooklyn Center police station marked by tear gas and clashes between protesters and police. Potter was convicted in December of first- and second-degree manslaughter in the April 11 killing. She'll be sentenced only on the most serious charge of first-degree manslaughter, which carries a presumptive penalty of just over seven years in prison. Prosecutor Matt Frank said Friday that he believes the presumptive sentence is appropriate, given the loss of life and Potter's culpable negligence. “His life mattered, and that life was taken,” Frank said. “His name is Daunte Wright. We have to say his name. He was not just a driver. He was a living human being. A life.”,Also read: Explained: What will judge weigh in sentencing Kim Potter?,The defense has asked for a lesser sentence, including one of probation only, but Frank said: “We are not agreeing to that your honor, but we have recognize this is a unique case. This is a very difficult case.”,Defense attorney Paul Engh told Judge Regina Chu that Wright's death was beyond tragic for everybody involved. But, he added: “This was an unintentional crime. It was an accident. It was a mistake.”,Engh held up a box displaying what he said were among “thousands” of letters and cards of support for Potter. “People took the time to write her, Engh said. This is unheard of for a defendant. I dare say no one in this room has ever seen anything like this.”,He urged the judge to sentence Potter to probation, saying sentencing guidelines are often not followed because they are too high for many defendants, including first-time offenders. He said Potter would be willing to meet with Wright's family and to speak to police officers about Taser mixups. If Potter is not sentenced to probation, then she should get a lower-than-usual sentence because Wright was the aggressor, Engh said. The testimony of other officers on the scene showed it was a dangerous situation because Wright was attempting to drive away, he said. Also read: Kim Potter made mistake but was still responsible, says juror,“This was an aggressive act. I don’t know how it couldn’t be an aggressive act,” said Engh, who also said Potter had the right to defend other officers and that she never should have been charged with first-degree manslaughter. Evidence at Potter’s trial showed officers learned he had an outstanding warrant for a weapons possession charge and they tried to arrest him when he pulled away. Video showed Potter shouted several times that she was going to use her Taser on Wright, but she had her gun in her hand and fired one shot into his chest. Potter has been at the state’s women’s prison in Shakopee since the guilty verdict. Her attorney said Friday that her mental and physical health has declined because she is isolated for her safety. “If you send her to prison, you will harm her,” Engh said. “We are not in the business of harming defendants.”,Potter was also expected to make a statement. Wright’s father and siblings earlier addressed the court to speak of their loss. The mother of Wright's son, Chyna Whitaker, said Friday that Wright would never have a chance to play ball with his son, or see him go to school. “My son shouldn’t have to wear a ‘rest in peace’ shirt of his dad,” Whitaker said. For someone with no criminal history, such as Potter, the state sentencing guidelines for first-degree manslaughter call for a penalty ranging from slightly more than six years to about 8 1/2 years in prison, with the presumptive sentence being just over seven years. In Minnesota, it’s presumed that inmates who show good behavior will serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison and the rest on supervised release, commonly known as parole. That means if Potter gets the roughly seven-year presumptive sentence, she would serve about four years and nine months in custody, with the rest on parole.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"44.9778","longitude":"-93.265","name":"Minneapolis, MN, USA","city":"Minneapolis"},"keywords":"['kim potter', 'duante wright', 'the defendant', 'the driver']","originalPublishedOn":"2022-02-18T23:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"ZmWNKFeLuCCW","slug":"explained-what-will-judge-weigh-in-sentencing-kim-potter","slugV2":"world/explained-what-will-judge-weigh-in-sentencing-kim-potter-671832/","title":"Explained: What will judge weigh in sentencing Kim Potter?","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_S_r1nnEqw.jpg","coverCaption":"In this screen grab from video, former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter center, with defense attorney Earl Gray, left, and Paul Engh sit at the defense table after the verdict is read.

Here's a look at the charges and potential penalties:,THE CHARGES,First-degree manslaughter in this case means prosecutors alleged that Potter caused Wright's death while committing a misdemeanor — the reckless handling or use of a firearm so as to endanger the safety of another with such force and violence that death or great bodily harm to any person was reasonably foreseeable. The second-degree manslaughter charge alleged that she caused his death by her culpable negligence, meaning that Potter caused an unreasonable risk and consciously took a chance of causing death or great bodily harm to Wright, while using or possessing a firearm. Neither charge required prosecutors to prove Potter intended to kill Wright, and they pointed that out to the jury during opening statements. Also Read: Also Read: Policing experts: Series of errors preceded Daunte Wright shooting,Defense attorney Paul Engh seemed to push against that during his opening, telling the jury that Potter didn't know she was holding a gun when she fired, adding: It's not just shooting somebody, that's not the crime. It's being consciously aware of some kind of fact. The attorney general's office added the first-degree manslaughter charge after it took over the case, though it fell short of the murder charge that Wright's family and activists wanted. Also Read: Kim Potter trial: Witness says stress can cause weapons mix-ups,POTENTIAL PENALTIES,The maximum for first-degree manslaughter is 15 years; for second-degree, it's 10 years. But Minnesota judges follow sentencing guidelines that normally call for less — just over seven years for first-degree, and four years for second-degree. Under Minnesota law, defendants are sentenced only on the most serious conviction if multiple counts involve the same act and the same victim. Prosecutors have said they will seek a longer sentence due to aggravating factors, which is what they did in former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin's murder trial for killing George Floyd. The longest sentences that could conceivably stick on appeal are double the top of the guidelines range. But that's more than the statutory maximum of 15 years for first-degree manslaughter, so 15 years would be the cap for Potter if she's convicted. The realistic maximum on the lesser charge would be 9 1/2 years. Presuming good behavior, Minnesota offenders typically serve two-thirds of their time in prison and one-third on supervised release. ,RECENT PRECEDENTS,The judge in Chauvin's case sentenced him to 22 1/2 years for second-degree unintentional murder. The presumptive sentence was 12 1/2 years. But Judge Peter Cahill found several aggravating factors, including that Chauvin abused his position of authority and treated Floyd with particular cruelty, and that several children witnessed the crime live. He also said Chauvin knew that kneeling on Floyd's neck was dangerous. More recently, Judge Kathryn Quaintance resentenced former Minneapolis Officer Mohamed Noor to four years and nine months in prison for second-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of Justine Damond Ruszczyk, which was at the top of the guidelines' range. She said she did so because Noor shot across the nose of his partner and endangered others. She couldn't sentence him to more because prosecutors did not request an upward departure from the sentencing guidelines. Quaintance originally sentenced Noor to 12 1/2 years for third-degree murder, which was what the guidelines called for, but the Minnesota Supreme Court later clarified the definition of third-degree murder and sent the case back for resentencing only on the manslaughter charge.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"44.9778","longitude":"-93.265","name":"Minneapolis, MN, USA","city":"Minneapolis"},"keywords":"Kim Potter, Kim Potter found guilty, Daunte Wright, Kim Potter charges,","originalPublishedOn":"2021-12-24T02:20:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"6M4Mv40kr8bw","slug":"english/2-cops-plan-to-testify-about-george-floyd-killing-prosecutors-rest","slugV2":"usa/2-cops-plan-to-testify-about-george-floyd-killing-prosecutors-rest-161408/","title":"2 cops plan to testify about George Floyd killing; prosecutors rest","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://images.opoyi.net/opoyi_k1qsjC8N5.jpg","coverCaption":"Federal prosecutors rested their case Monday against three former Minneapolis police officers charged with violating George Floyd’s civil rights.

The run of testifying defendants raises the question of whether a shift in thinking is occurring among lawyers, many of whom have long regarded putting clients on the stand as a desperate, last-resort option. ARE MORE DEFENDANTS TESTIFYING? ,Anecdotally, there may be some indication of that. ,“There has been a spate of defendants taking the stand — and that is a break from tradition,” said Chicago-based jury consultant Alan Tuerkheimer.

Potter, 49, who is white, faces about seven years in prison under the state's sentencing guidelines, but prosecutors said they would seek a longer term. Also Read: What was former Minneapolis cop Kim Potter charged with in Daunte Wright death?,It has been rare to charge police with crimes in civilian deaths, and rarer still for them to be convicted. Here's a look at other high-profile killings by police and the outcome of the cases: ,ERIC GARNER,Eric Garner, 43, died in July 2014 in New York City after a white officer placed him in a chokehold when Garner, who was Black, refused to be handcuffed for allegedly selling loose, untaxed cigarettes. A Staten Island grand jury declined to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo in December of that year. The Justice Department said in 2019 that it wouldn't file civil rights charges after a yearslong investigation. Also Read: Ex-Minnesota cop Kim Potter guilty of manslaughter in Daunte Wright death,MICHAEL BROWN ,Michael Brown, 18, was fatally shot by a white officer, Darren Wilson, in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri, touching off weeks of sometimes violent protests. A St. Louis County grand jury declined later that year to indict Wilson in the unarmed Black teen's death, and the U.S. Department of Justice later also declined to charge him. Wesley Bell, the current St. Louis County prosecuting attorney, conducted a five-month review of witness statements, forensic reports and other evidence and announced in July that he would not charge Wilson. Also Read: White DC cop caught on camera repeatedly punching black man,LAQUAN MCDONALD ,Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke shot 16 times at Laquan McDonald, killing the Black 17-year-old as he walked away from officers in October 2014. Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder the same day the city released the shocking dashcam video of the shooting. Van Dyke was found guilty of second-degree murder in 2018 and sentenced to nearly seven years in prison. ,TAMIR RICE,Tamir Rice, 12, was fatally shot by a white Cleveland police officer in November 2014 after officers responded to a 911 call from a man drinking beer and waiting for a bus who said a guy was pointing a gun at people. Tamir, who was Black, had a pellet gun tucked in his waistband and was shot after the officers' cruiser skidded to a stop just feet away. A grand jury in December 2015 declined to indict patrolman Timothy Loehmann, who fired the fatal shot, and training officer Frank Garmback. The U.S. Justice Department announced last year that it would not bring federal criminal charges, saying the quality of video of the shooting was too poor for prosecutors to establish what had happened. WALTER SCOTT ,Michael Slager, a white South Carolina police officer, shot Walter Scott in the back as the unarmed 50-year-old Black man fled following a 2015 traffic stop. In 2016, a mistrial was declared after the jury deadlocked over a verdict in Slager's murder trial. The next year, Slager pleaded guilty in federal court to violating Scott's civil rights and prosecutors dropped state murder charges.

They said Potter, an experienced officer with extensive training in Taser use and use of deadly force, acted recklessly and betrayed the badge. For first-degree manslaughter, prosecutors had to prove that Potter caused Wright's death while committing a misdemeanor — in this case, the reckless handling or use of a firearm so as to endanger the safety of another with such force and violence that death or great bodily harm to any person was reasonably foreseeable. The second-degree manslaughter charge required prosecutors to prove that Potter caused Wright's death by her culpable negligence, meaning she caused an unreasonable risk and consciously took a chance of causing death or great bodily harm to Wright while using or possessing a firearm. Under Minnesota law, defendants are sentenced only on the most serious conviction if multiple counts involve the same act and the same victim. Prosecutors had said they would seek to prove aggravating factors that merit what's called an upward departure from sentencing guidelines. In Potter's case, they alleged that her actions were a danger to others, including her fellow officers, to Wright's passenger and to the couple whose car was struck by Wright's after the shooting. They also alleged she abused her authority as a police officer. The maximum for 1st-degree manslaughter is 15 years.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Kim Potter, Kim Potter guilty, Kim Potter manslaughter,","originalPublishedOn":"2021-12-24T01:20:42+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"zq80g6hgrQbl","slug":"jury-in-kim-potter-trial-ends-another-day-without-verdict","slugV2":"world/jury-in-kim-potter-trial-ends-another-day-without-verdict-673765/","title":"Jury in Kim Potter trial ends another day without verdict","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_0MhVzqkKy.jpg","coverCaption":"In this image taken from video, the prosecution, left, and the defense, right, stand, as the jury enters the courtroom to deliver a question to Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu, during former police officer Kim Potter's trial.

Laurence Miller, a psychologist who teaches at Florida Atlantic University, said Friday that the more someone repeats the same act, the less they have to think about it and there can be circumstances during a stressful situation in which someone's normal reactions may be hijacked.

Jurors will be presented starkly different views of officer Kim Potter, who pulled her handgun instead of her Taser in what the defense will claim was an innocent mistake. The prosecution opened its case by portraying her as a veteran cop who had undergone extensive training that warned about such a mix-up. Also Read: Shadow of George Floyd, Derek Chauvin case hangs over Kim Potter's trial,Prosecutor Erin Eldridge told the jury that the fundamental duty of a police officer is to protect the sanctity of life. She said officers promise to safeguard lives, preserve and protect, and maintain calm. They promise never to employ unnecessary force or abuse. said Eldridge, who also read out loud the oath that Brooklyn Center police officers take. Potter, 49, is charged with first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in Wright's April 11 death in Brooklyn Center. The white former officer — she resigned two days after the shooting — has said she meant to use her Taser on the 20-year-old Wright after he tried to drive away from a traffic stop as officers tried to arrest him, but that she grabbed her handgun instead. Her body camera recorded the shooting. Also Read: Calls for US police reform at fresh protest over Daunte Wright killing,A mostly white jury was seated last week, setting the stage for testimony to begin in a case that sparked angry demonstrations outside the Brooklyn Center police station last spring. Those demonstrations, with protesters frequently clashing with police in riot gear, happened as former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin was on trial just 10 miles (16 kilometers) away for killing George Floyd. Potter was training a new officer when they pulled Wright over for having expired license plate tags and an air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror, according to a criminal complaint. When they found that Wright had an outstanding arrest warrant, they tried to arrest him but he got back into his car instead of cooperating. Potter's body-camera video recorded her shouting Taser, Taser, Taser and I'll tase you before she fired once with her handgun. Afterward, she is heard saying, I grabbed the wrong (expletive) gun. To bolster their claim that it was an accident, defense attorneys have highlighted Potter's immediate reaction and later body-camera footage that hasn't been seen by the public in which Potter is said to have repeatedly expressed remorse. But they have also asserted that Potter was within her rights to use deadly force if she had consciously chosen to do so because Wright's actions endangered other officers at the scene. She believed the use of a Taser was appropriate when she saw Mr. Wright's abject denial of his lawful arrest coupled with his attempted flight, defense attorney Paul Engh wrote in a pretrial filing seeking to dismiss one of the charges. She could have shot him. Prosecutors have countered that Potter had been trained on Taser use several times during her 26-year police career, including twice in the six months that preceded the shooting. In one of their own pretrial filings, they cited training that explicitly warns officers about confusing a handgun with a Taser and directs them to learn the differences between their Taser and firearm to avoid such confusion. Potter, they argued in their filing, consciously and intentionally acted in choosing to use force on Daunte Wright and in reaching for, drawing, pointing, and manipulating a weapon. A jury of 14 people, including two white alternates, will hear the case. Nine of the 12 jurors likely to deliberate are white, one is Black and two are Asian. The jury's racial makeup is roughly in line with the demographics of Hennepin County, which is about 74% white. But the jury is notably less diverse than the one that convicted Chauvin in Floyd's killing. Potter has told the court she will testify. ,The most serious charge against Potter requires prosecutors to prove recklessness, while the lesser requires them to prove culpable negligence. Minnesota's sentencing guidelines call for a prison term of just over seven years on the first-degree manslaughter count and four years on the second-degree one. Prosecutors have said they will seek a longer sentence.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"44.9778","longitude":"-93.265","name":"Minneapolis, MN, USA","city":"Minneapolis"},"keywords":"Kim Potter, Kim Potter trial, Daunte Wright, Daunte Wright killing,","originalPublishedOn":"2021-12-08T22:35:37+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"6OCTnCy2MgoW","slug":"shadow-of-george-floyd-derek-chauvin-case-hangs-over-kim-potters-trial","slugV2":"usa/shadow-of-george-floyd-derek-chauvin-case-hangs-over-kim-potters-trial-162046/","title":"Shadow of George Floyd, Derek Chauvin case hangs over Kim Potter's trial","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_kXbs1LxqdQr.jpg","coverCaption":"Opening statements are set for Wednesday.

However, at the time the spokesperson had reported that the individual ran out of ammunition and was thus forced to surrender to the authorities.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"-1.2921","longitude":"36.8219","name":"Nairobi, Kenya","city":"Nairobi"},"keywords":"Kenya rampage, Kenya police shooting, Kenya police brutality, Kenya shooting, Kenya cop murder","originalPublishedOn":"2021-12-07T17:55:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"Szs8gtU33nP6","slug":"i-cant-breathe-george-floyds-last-words-feature-in-delhi-hc-order","slugV2":"india/i-cant-breathe-george-floyds-last-words-feature-in-delhi-hc-order-548740/","title":"I can't breathe: George Floyd's last words feature in Delhi HC order","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_03o1sy6YxIX.jpg","coverCaption":"A protestor holds up a sign with George Floyd's last words in the US.

The panel's first meeting is expected to be held in December in which the committee will hear from the State Police and the public with an eye toward developing recommendations for tightened laws regarding use of force that legislators can consider. ,The review will focus more on overall policies, rather than specific allegations of improper force, Foil said. The Senate Select Committee on State Police Oversight will go over what kind of oversight the State Police has when there are reports of excessive force that may have been used inappropriately and what mechanisms they have as far as safeguards, said Foil, a lawyer, and Navy officer who has worked as a military judge. The deadline for the panel to submit its recommendations to the full Senate is October 31, 2022. The committee is set to examine the Louisiana State Police's use-of-force policies as federal prosecutors are scrutinizing a series of beatings by troopers and whether top police brass obstructed justice to protect troopers involved in the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene. The investigation began as a civil rights probe into Greene's death, which police initially blamed on a car crash at the end of a chase near Monroe.
