So You're Celebrating The Kim Potter Verdict?

Original Article

Posted By: AmericaFirstAlways, 12/27/2021 10:45:54 AM

The American justice system failed former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter. From the initial release of body camera footage, it was clear she made a tragic and deadly mistake. End of story. Full stop. Nothing was criminal about what happened, unless you consider the fact that Daunte Wright was a thugging animal who was pulled over for legitimate reasons and later attempted to be detained lawfully because of outstanding warrants for violence against women. As the trial played out, my own beliefs surrounding the charges were only inured. Officers knew of his violent and extensive criminal background at the time of, and indeed were the reason for, his arrest.

Comments:

This verdict wasn't justice, this was a witch hunt.

No, I decry the loss of justice in Minnesota. What a horrible place it has become. Why would anyone work as a police officer in that place?

Let's remember that the US government has determined that the covid jab pharmaceutical companies cannot be prosecuted or sued for the tens of thousands of deaths they are causing on a daily basis, and they're doing it right before our eyes. We live in a lawless society, and it's being done just so a few people can own all the stuff and have all the power. It's evil and comes straight from the pit of Hell where the majority of them end up, but they only care about the here and now, even if they die before they fully realize their evil dreams. When do we collectively get to the place where we've had enough?

You have to hope that the Appeals Court Judges use common sense when they review the Potter case. Obviously the trail jury did not want to take any responsibility for the violent riots that had a good chance of being perpetrated in the area if they had found Potter not guilty. Chances are that Minnesota is going to find it difficult in the future to recruit future quality police officer trainees as the prospective trainees will certainly recognize that over a police career of 25 or more years, that they are bound to be involved in one or more violent encounter situations with noncompliant criminals where an honest mistake could end up with them being sentenced to prison while the criminal walks free on the streets.

Th jury did what they were asked to do. That did not make the prosecution a just prosecution. Kim Fox was only prosecuted for Duante's death because it was the politically expedient thing to do. Keep the BLM/ANTIFA mobs calm and give the appearance of some sort of racial justice and payback against the racist police. Of course all of this ignores the fact that Duante had outstanding warrants, a long criminal record, resisted arrest, tried to flee the scene, and had an officer half in the felling vehicle. All of this is on video but it does not matter. THe criminal can be wrong 100% of the time but the police must be right 100 % of the time or they become the criminal under the current system. Kim Fox is a victim of the current system. Yes, she messed up and Duante died. However, he died because his actions set up a series of unfortunate event which led to his death. If you look at the entire picture, then Kim Fox's conviction is nothing to celebrate. It should leave you questioning who was really responsible for Duante's death. That answer depends depends on how you look at how the world works and sense of right and wrong.

FTA: "From the initial release of body camera footage, it was clear she made a tragic and deadly mistake. End of story." It appears we "real conservatives" are getting a bit cavalier about the taking of life by the police or vigilantes. There's no oops clause in the law. Launch a bullet and there's no bringing it back. There's no recovery from death. Killing someone ought to be serious business to society. Suppose that oops had hit a bystander instead of a thug...a child, maybe. Oops. The city can write a check and send a card. "Real conservatives" would blame the thug. If he hadn't resisted... The essential facts are that an ill-considered pullover was made. Potter herself said the purpose was to allow her trainee a chance to interact with the public. So, she had him pull over a black guy for violation of an air freshener hanging from a mirror - which she testified she would not have done herself. They were joined by a sergeant. Once established there was a warrant the trainee violated protocol, which went uncorrected, and hilarity ensued. The 23-year veteran officer (Potter) pulls her firearm out of apparent panic. (Her taser was on the opposite hip. The taser requires a different process to fire than a sidearm.) And so after five seconds to realize her error, she fires her gun and kills a human being. Oops...sorry about that, Chief. Back the badge...remember that the next FBI outrage.

For the better part of a year now, Democrats have vehemently opposed the Senate’s filibuster rule. From the moment Joe Biden took office, there have been rumblings about abolishing it to do a number of things, from forcing through trillions in spending to rigging the 2022 election to stacking the Supreme Court. You know, to save democracy and such. That push culminated in a visit to Capitol Hill yesterday by Joe Biden. The president was there to push for the abolishment of the filibuster yet again as part of a plan by Chuck Schumer to pass a “voting rights” bill making voter ID illegal,

Democrats can dish it out, but they can’t take it. This reality was on full display in a recent op-ed written by author Jill Filipovic for CNN, in which she clutched her pearls over comments made by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The author took issue with McCarthy’s recent threat to strip Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Eric Swalwell (D-CA), and Adam Schiff (D-CA) of their committee assignments as retaliation for Democrats doing the same to Reps. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) last year. During an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, he said:

As detailed here a few days ago, musician John Ondrasik, who usually records under the Five for Fighting moniker, released a video earlier this month of him performing his song “Blood on My Hands” while standing within sight of the White House. He placed the video on Twitter and YouTube. Given how the song excoriates the Biden Administration for its utterly incompetent handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, one expected pushback. On Friday, the expectation was met when YouTube briefly pulled the video, returning it to the site only after Ondrasik made a pointed complaint to YouTube.

Not only wasn’t DeSantis missing, but he was working and in the office over the week , as well as taking his wife to cancer treatments. So, the left was attacking a family that was having to deal with a serious medical illness. How slimy can you possibly be? You would hope they would learn a lesson but they wouldn’t.

This morning, the administration released a document that included a lot of the same. Nothing listed here strikes me as making a difference, nor does the data support the need to battle Omicron in this way. The entire thing reads like a weird mix of stolen credit and humble-bragging.

Burhan Chowdhury of Hamtramck, a community about six miles north of Detroit, admittedly fell behind in yard maintenance after he was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes in 2019. His overgrown property prompted local officials to subpoena Chowdhury. In now-viral footage of the Zoom court hearing on Jan. 10, Chowdhury’s breathing appeared labored as Judge Alexis G.
