    Daunte Wright's mom relives 'worst day of my life' at manslaughter trial of ex-Minnesota officer Kim Potter.
    USA Today (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 79% • 7 min read

    Kim Potter is charged with first and second-degree manslaughter in Wright's death during a traffic stop. Prosecutors say Potter, 49, recklessly handled her firearm and caused Wright's death by her "culpable negligence" – a conscious disregard of an unjustifiable risk.
    ...
    Defense attorneys say Potter intended to fire her Taser at Wright to prevent him from driving away and potentially injuring another officer in the process. Attorney Paul Engh said Wright should have surrendered to the warrant. He later added, "Over the course of 26 years, [Potter] never fired a gun. [...] She never fired her Taser."
    ...
    Jurors heard testimony from police officer in training Anthony Luckey, who attempted to arrest Wright before the shooting. Luckey agreed with prosecutors that Wright was respectful and did not give him any reason to believe he was armed. Luckey agreed with an attorney for the defense that, if Wright had been able to drive away, he and the other officer could have been injured or killed.

Should religious schools be eligible for public funds?

598 votes, 117 comments

Context: Supreme Court hears case on Maine program that provides funds for families without nearby public high schools.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ No - I know this seems like a good thing on the surface, but people are not thinking about the big picture. Opening this door for Catholics also opens the door for any religious cult to also get public funding. Are you ready to fund religious indoctrination by the organizations like the Church of Scientology? This policy will not just feed the religion you want. It will feed them all. Taxpayer dollars should not be used in this way.”


“ Yes - “Separation of church and state” was established to prevent the government from est...”



“ Unsure - I don't think the religious part of this is the real issue at hand. If a public school is not available in a rural area it makes sense it assist ru...”
