Ex-Minnesota officer who fatally shot Daunte Wright to be released from prison.

Former Minnesota police officer Kim Potter, who fatally shot Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in April 2021, is set to be released from prison after serving 16 months of a two-year sentence for manslaughter. Potter claimed she mistook her gun for a Taser. Wright's family criticized the sentence as a "slap on the wrist." Some cities have since passed measures directing police to end traffic stops for low-level offenses in the wake of more traffic stops that turned deadly, particularly of Black people.
