BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (AP) A white Minnesota police officer who fatally shot a Black man during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb resigned Tuesday.
Kim Potter resigned two days after the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center. Potter, a 26-year veteran, had been on administrative leave following Sundays shooting.
The citys police chief has said he believes Potter mistakenly grabbed her gun when she was going for her Taser. She can be heard on her body camera video shouting Taser! Taser!
Whenever, through the line of duty, someone kills another human being, there must be accountability, Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott told the Today show earlier Tuesday.

and the police departments let them, as well as the cities.............
and trust me, all you people just scraping by, living off just your social security, you don't want to see some of these pensions of the Police & Fire.....
