Whether a Black man dies under the knee of a sneering white cop or from a gun of a white cop who said she thought she was firing a Taser, the Black man is still dead.

The Mo'Kelly Show Presents - The Sentencing of Kim Potter, Investigation of Trump & Whistleblowing by Naomi Seligman

In the aftermath of former police officer Kim Potter being sentenced to just two years for accidentally shooting black motorist Daunte Wright during a traffic stop, two MSNBC shows have stretched to claim a racial double standard while one frequent guest also provocatively claimed that America "hates black people."

Former Minnesota police officer Kimberly Potter was sentenced to two years, 16 months in prison and 8 months under supervision, for killing a black motorist Daunte Wright on April 11, 2021, for resisting arrest.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The issue of race was barely brought up during the trial of Kim Potter, a former suburban Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of manslaughter for killing Daunte Wright after she said she confused her handgun for her Taser.

The Rev. Al Sharpton told the hundreds gathered Thursday for Amir Lockes funeral that the 22-year-old Black man would still be alive if Minneapolis had banned no-knock warrants. Sharpton was among several speakers who paid tribute to Locke and other Black people who have died in encounters with police. Along with song and prayer, the service at Shiloh Temple International Ministries included strong condemnations of racism in policing and emphatic demands for change.

Every Saturday during the month of February, NAACP Rochester Minnesota Branch hosts live speaker series on its Facebook page to discuss various topics that impact the black community.

The shooting reportedly happened at the same time as a planned march for Amir Locke, a Black man who was shot dead by police earlier this month in Minneapolis.
