The sentence handed down by the presiding judge was about 3 1⁄2 times lower than the presumptive prison term and left Daunte Wrights family and activists angry.

Around 100 Black Lives Matter protesters gathered outside the Minneapolis home of Judge Regina Chu, who sentenced cop Kim Potter to 14 months yesterday for killing Daunte Wright, 20.

Former Brooklyn Center officer Kimberly Potter has been sentenced to two years (24 months) in prison in connection to the death of Daunte Wright. She will have to serve two-thirds of that in prison.
