Well they found Kim Potter guilty of 1st Degree Manslaughter. I haven't heard anyone on the news yet say, hey you dumbasses, when the cops have you in custody, IT'S OVER!
Here is the law in Minnesota for what constitutes 1st Degree Manslaughter. Please read this and tell me how she was charged with this offense other than to appease the people who are, evidently, unable to follow the laws of a civilized society. They wanted her charged with 1st Degree Murder
609.20 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
Whoever does any of the following is guilty of manslaughter in the first degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 15 years or to payment of a fine of not more than $30,000, or both:
(1) intentionally causes the death of another person in the heat of passion provoked by such words or acts of another as would provoke a person of ordinary self-control under like circumstances, provided that the crying of a child does not constitute provocation;
(2) violates section 609.224 and causes the death of another or causes the death of another in committing or attempting to commit a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offense with such force and violence that death of or great bodily harm to any person was reasonably foreseeable, and murder in the first or second degree was not committed thereby;
(3) intentionally causes the death of another person because the actor is coerced by threats made by someone other than the actor's coconspirator and which cause the actor reasonably to believe that the act performed by the actor is the only means of preventing imminent death to the actor or another;
(4) proximately causes the death of another, without intent to cause death by, directly or indirectly, unlawfully selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging, distributing, or administering a controlled substance classified in Schedule III, IV, or V; or
(5) causes the death of another in committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.377 (malicious punishment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.
As used in this section, a "person of ordinary self-control" does not include a person under the influence of intoxicants or a controlled substance.
Did she get the benefit of doubt? Was she innocent until proven guilty? We saw the video and we heard her say taser. If there is any doubt, and how could there not be, then she should have been found not guilty. Reasonable doubt has certainly kept much worse than Kim Potter on the streets over the years.
I don't see this as a left/right, black/white, rich/poor situation. If we allow the rule of law to be bastardized to serve the interests of the unlawful, then our society will be dead.
