Before Daunte Wright was shot and killed by Minnesota police officer Kim Potter, he terrorized his local neighborhood for several years, leaving victims and their families with a lifetime's worth of trauma and suffering.
Through court records and interviews with the victims, DailyMail.com can exclusively report that Wright had led a life of crime and violence before his death, having been involved in the shooting of two of his school friends, a home burglary, and had previously assaulted and robbed a young woman at gunpoint.
Wright, 20, was shot dead on April 11 after officer Kim Potter reached for her gun instead of her taser during a botched traffic stop in Brooklyn Center. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10329753/Daunte-Wright-victims-tell-violent-past.html
Ms. Potter was a 26 year veteran of the police force with nary a black mark on her record. I was trying to put myself in her place just as I did with the young man in Colorado who received a 110 year jail sentence for causing a crash killing four even though it was just that--an accident. With a split second to make a decision how many of us would have made a choice that was the wrong one? My guess is around 100%
