Kim Potter, the former Brooklyn Center, Minn., police officer who shot Daunte Wright, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter, according to Minnesota authorities.
The Washington County Attorney s Office announced the charges Wednesday. Certain occupations carry an immense responsibility and none more so than a sworn police officer, said Imran Ali, an assistant county attorney and head of the county s major crimes unit. We will vigorously prosecute this case and intend to prove that Officer Potter abrogated her responsibility to protect the public when she used her firearm rather than her Taser.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension announced Potter s arrest earlier Wednesday. She has been released after posting a $100,000 bond.
