“Kim Potter, the police officer in Brooklyn Center, Minn., who fatally shot Daunte Wright on Sunday, has resigned from the Police Department, her union said in a statement on Tuesday.
The city’s police chief, Tim Gannon, also announced that he was departing.
In a letter that Ms. Potter sent to city officials on Tuesday, she said she was resigning immediately, the union said.”
Policing in this nation needs a complete overhaul if we as a society hope to maintain a nation that feels equal and accepted. Currently there is a terrible disregard for the lives of Black and Brown people in every community from coast to coast. Complete police reform needs to be mandatory or a systematic breakdown of our society, which is based on law and order, could be on the horizon. Black lives need to matter more, pure and simple.
