Disagreed but I'd like to read your reasoning first, please.

Those type of women will pinch your dick and pull out with their hoo hahs.

Women are physically weaker, on average, than most men. They are not capable of apprehending 250 lb criminal men. Women tend to be much more emotional than men and frequently make decisions based on emotion. All in all, it's just not a good fit for a cop, soldier, etc. There are exceptions to the rule but.....
 
She will receive some kind of punishment. Though the manslaughter charge is reaching it. If I were her I'd agree to a plea bargain.
Did she want one or was the prosecutor not offering? I know the prosecutors aren't offering the most violent Insurrectionists deals. They plan to take the assholes down in court and send them to jail for the max.

Same for the planners and financiers.

Any wonder if some of our JPP members wrote a donation check for the Insurrection? :laugh:
 
Disagreed. Obviously you're the type to just stood, look pretty and waiting to be noticed, in the parking lot watching guys and their cars.
Were you a cheer leader or just a "bad girl"?

OTOH, I've met a lot of great, sexy and very feminine women who are as capable as men in similar circumstances. This was a situation Potter should have easily been able to handle. 26 years or not, proficiency and reactions in a deadly situation need to be trained and practiced.

While I sympathize with Potter, the fact remains she fucked up and an innocent person is dead. That requires atonement by both Potter and the City who funds the police.

^^ This is where you can segue into a discussion on the price paid by the public for defunding the police. ;)

Great Grandmother of computer programming. Respect.

Thanks!

On average for strength. I have no problem with a physical fitness test to determine qualification.

Most 170 lb 25 year olds would have a problem taking down a 250lb criminal man too.

Agreed on emotions, but part of that is training. Reactions are trained and don't require emotions or logic to execute. She reacted badly. In fact, it strikes me as an emotional response, a panic, which shows one of two things: She was undertrained (including proficiency) or she was unqualified to be in that position.

Both of those fall both on her and the city itself since they are the ones who put a gun in her hand. Again, this is a middle class suburb police force of 26 officers on patrol....when fully staffed. IMO, they are one step above Mall Cops.

Now an innocent man is dead, a woman ridden with guilt and a city that needs to both fix the problem (fund the police) and rethink their annual requalifying of Patrol officers.

IMO, Potter's problem wasn't her gender. It was largely a small police force not having better qualified and trained people.

Women can handle the job. Example: Captain Mimi Thompkins https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/360709

Sometimes a compassionate cop is what is necessary. I'd rather have seen a female supervisor arrive at the George Floyd scene.
 
I would think crying would not be beneficial, you are suppose to be a police person with 25 years of experience, making rational, not emotional decisions, but that is just me. I imagine she feels very sad about the death, but a police person can not make mistakes like using a gun thinking it was a taser. A 25 year veteran should not make those mistakes.

because it wasnt a mistake..............

You're the Kim Potter of JPP.

Looks like Potter fucked up to me. In the heat of moment, when she really needed to be on top of the situation, she fucked it up.

I wonder if this was the first time she'd ever drawn her gun or taser on the street?

Agreed. OTOH, it was a podunk suburban police force of 26 patrol officers at most. One step above Mall Cop.

In her 25 years, did they say how many times she's been forced to draw a weapon or a taser on a suspect? She reacted like someone who's never been battle tested.

I've seen experienced pilots freeze in the middle of an inflight emergency. When "kickstarted" with a command such as "Squawk 7700, please" they start reacting to training.

My understanding is that Potter was the senior officer there and then blew it. My guess is lack of adequate training and qualification.
 
She'll probably get off on that charge but the question still lingers. How in the world would a police veteran confuse a taser with a real gun?
It happens . Remember the two transit cops in California that were subduing a guy and on pulled his tazer and discharged it right next to his partner. The problem was it was his gun not his tazer,.


When Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, police officer Kim Potter allegedly mistook her service weapon for a stun gun and fatally shot an unarmed Black motorist Sunday, it was at least the 16th such “weapons confusion” incident in the United States since 2001.
