In a matter of days, the white police officer who fatally shot a Black man in a Minneapolis suburb went from being a respected professional who trained less experienced colleagues and led the department's union, to a criminal defendant held up by community activists as a symbol of police aggression toward Black people.

Kim Potter: Five Things About The Officer Who Shot Daunte Wright


1. Questions have been raised about the 26-year police veteran for confusing a gun for a Taser.
Although Gannon said the shooting was "an accidental discharge," he said during a news conference Monday that officers with the department were trained to carry their handguns on their dominant side, with the Taser being holstered on the opposite side of the body.
"If you're right-handed, you carry your firearm on your right side and you carry your Taser on the left. This is done purposefully, and it's trained," he said.
A day after his remarks, Gannon announced he was resigning.
Ben Crump, an attorney who represents Wright's family as well as that of George Floyd, questioned on Twitter how Potter's mix-up was possible considering her years of experience. He claimed that she "knew exactly what she was doing" and her "actions were clearly intentional."
