Watched the #KimPotter sentencing hearing today. And the devastation of #DaunteWright’s family. And can’t help remembering the Somali-American police officer in Minnesota who also made a “mistake” shooting a white Australian tourist in an alley at night. Sentenced to 12.5 years.

One year later. #DaunteWright should be alive. Policing must be abolished.
“Until the killing of black men, black mother’s sons, becomes as important to the rest of the country as the killing of a white mother’s son. We who believe in freedom cannot rest" - Ella Baker

The Black Minnesota cop who got scared & killed a white woman got 57 months in prison.
The white Minnesota cop who got scared & killed a Black man got 16 months in prison.
Even behind the "thin blue line," systemic racism is as clear as black & white.

#DaunteWright is gone.
His child will never know him.
The veteran cop who killed an unarmed man will serve maybe 16 months.
This is not justice.

Let us be clear that the verdict delivered by #JudgeChu in the murder of #DaunteWright by #KimPotter was no *mistake*. It's a reaffirmation of what we should already understand! The protection of white women & disregard for Black (male) life are foundational to U.S. social order.

Kim Potter’s two-year sentence, although mild in view of what she was convicted of doing, is excessive considering what she actually did. This was a purely accidental shooting. It was careless, it was horrific, it was tragic, but it wasn’t a crime! #KimPotter #DaunteWright

Today marks 1 year since the senseless killing of Daunte Wright. Killer cop Kimmy Potter "mistakenly" fired a gun when she meant to use her taser. She was sentenced to only two years in prison, which is significantly below state guidelines. (1/2) #TCAC #DaunteWright

Former police officer Kim Potter fatally shot Daunte Wright during a traffic stop and was sentenced to 2 yrs in prison. I see if you have an accident you get a harsh sentence but if you shoot,a judge is understanding and u get a few yrs

The murder of #DaunteWright is rooted in white supremacy and results from the intentional criminalization of Black and Brown communities.
This system can’t be reformed.
It must be dismantled and a real system of public safety rebuilt from the ground up.

On the anniversary of #DaunteWright's death, I pray that his family - and all families who have lost loved ones to injustice and police brutality - are able to find strength and peace. Together, we can commit to fighting for peace and justice everywhere.
