No problem with the verdict but how can you be found guilty of first and second degree? Shouldn’t it be either or? Same thing I wondered about in the George Floyd verdict.

If I had to guess it would be that the law there allows them in the alternative so that if an appellate court says the evidence did not support first degree then the second degree may remain intact.

EXCLUSIVE: 'He was either going to be imprisoned, kill someone, or be killed.' How Daunte Wright Led a Life of Crime and Violence before his death and Shot his own friend in the head, Broke into a neighbor's home, and Robbed a woman at gunpoint

  • Jennifer LeMay said Wright shot her son, Caleb Livingston, 18, in the head and at a gas station and left him to die in an incident in Minneapolis in May 2019
  • Caleb now suffers from a traumatic brain injury and respiratory arrest, and is bound to a wheelchair. He cannot speak and requires 24/7 care
Before Daunte Wright was shot and killed by Minnesota police officer Kim Potter, he terrorized his local neighborhood for several years, leaving victims and their families with a lifetime's worth of trauma and suffering.

Through court records and interviews with the victims, DailyMail.com can exclusively report that Wright had led a life of crime and violence before his death, having been involved in the shooting of two of his school friends, a home burglary, and had previously assaulted and robbed a young woman at gunpoint.

Daunte Wright had led a life of crime and violence in the years before his death, DailyMail.com can reveal

But for some, Wright's death is a reminder that he will now never be brought to justice for the pain and suffering he caused his victims.

You did this with George Floyd as well. It seems like you want to make the case for Wright being a career criminal and public menace, as though it is a mitigating circumstance in a law enforcement officer's misdeed. It's the "he had it coming" defense.

I understand feeling some degree of sympathy for Kim Potter, but Wright's character and criminal history shouldn't be a factor when considering her guilt or innocence of the charges brought forth in this case.

I love that the only specific burn on Humphrey by the union is a 75-officer deficit. You want more police so you can collect more dues. I know that's the end of the world for unions, but that number isn't inherently bad to the outside observer. LOL

I don’t care about the Union as most officers in the country actually don’t belong to one, but officer position deficit is a serious issue and one of the reason why the crime in large cities is like it is

So it's a common problem and not unique to Humphrey.

It’s hard to find quality candidates in the medium sized places because they haven’t lowered their standards for applicants like the big cities have (i.e. taking former drug addicts or those with criminal backgrounds for diversity purposes)
