ADDING INJURY ON TOP OF INJURY

$100,000 bond set for Kimberly Potter ... That's pure punishment!

Kimberly Potter made a monumental mistake in shooting Duante Wright when she only intended to use her Taser.  That mistake will haunt her the rest of her life.

Not only did Potter make a monumental mistake, but she was another white cop killing another unarmed black man.

Potter had an exemplary record, but because violent BLM protests broke out all over the country, she was arrested and charged with manslaughter.  If Wright had been white, there would have been no protests and Potter would not have been arrested and charged.  But the authorities felt an urgent need to placate the BLM mobs.

Potter was charged with manslaughter in the second degree for her 'culpable negligence' - whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another.

Consciously?  Potter consciously in tended to tase Wright, but she mistakenly drew her gun during a struggle.  She did not consciously use deadly force against Wright

Adding injury on top of injury, Potter's bond was set at $100,000.  My God, did they think she was going to flee to some country that, like Mongolia, does not have an extradition treat with the US?  That $100,000 bond is pure punishment.  

Blacks want their pound of flesh.  Benjamin Crump, the Wright family's lawyer, said: "This [shooting] was no accident. This was an intentional, deliberate and unlawful use of force.  Driving while Black continues to result in a death sentence. A 26-year veteran of the force knows the difference between a Taser and a firearm."

Intentional and deliberate?  That's a terrible lie, and Crump damn well knows it.

Potter was struggling with Wright who was attempting to flee.  In the heat of the struggle, she grabbed her gun instead of the Taser.  She had intended to tase Wright, not shoot him.  The shooting was an accident, pure and simple. 

Instead of $100,000 bail, Potter should have been released on her  own recognizanc, but that would have further infuriated the BLM mobs.
