    Ex-police officer Kim Potter sentenced to two years for fatally shooting Daunte Wright.
    NBC News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 76% • 5 min read

    Potter, 49, has been in custody since just before Christmas last year, when jurors convicted her of first-degree manslaughter for the April 2021 slaying of 20-year-old Wright in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center. Wright was pulled over and police tried to arrest him on an outstanding weapons charge when he tried to get back into his car.
    ...
    Judge Regina Chu ordered Potter to spend two-thirds of her sentence behind bars and one-third of it on supervised release. She's already served 58 days behind bars, which will go to her credit. Chu said Potter deserved less than the 86-month sentence sought by prosecutors because the officer was trying to use her Taser and not her gun.
    ...
    “I recognize there will be those who disagree with the sentence; that I granted a significant downward departure, does not in any way diminish Daunte Wright’s life,” Chu said. "This is one of the saddest cases that I’ve had in my 20 years on the bench," she said. The victim’s mother, Katie Wright, said "the justice system murdered him all over again."

Could U.S. excess deaths have been much lower with different pandemic policies?

Context: U.S. hits 1 million excess deaths tied to pandemic.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - It may not be fair but clearly denying access to medical care leads to an increase in death rate. Mobilizing additional Covid related triage at an earlier point would have prevented the lack of medical access the leads to an increase in the death rate.


No - Lower, maybe, but not much lower. The underlying poor health of Americans, primari...



Unsure - Both sides claim an easy answer, but everything is a trade-off. Strict lockdowns and mandates may have prevented Covid deaths, but also left many vulnerable people without work,...
