A suburban Minneapolis city has agreed to pay $3.2 million to the family of Daunte Wright, a Black man who was fatally shot by a police officer who said she confused her gun for her Taser.

Lawyers said the settlement is not final because they have yet to agree on "non-monetary relief" from the city, including police training.

A Michigan police officer has been charged with second-degree murder for fatally shooting Patrick Lyoya in the back of the head as the Black man was on the ground.

Police officers in some cities are being told not to stop drivers for minor infractions.

Daunte Wright was fatally shot last year by a suburban Minneapolis police officer. Katie Wright says she was injured while she was briefly detained this week by one of the same department's officers.

The officer told Wright he would send her a ticket in the mail and both returned to their vehicles. Wright's death sparked several nights of protests in Brooklyn Center and revived painful memories of the sometimes violent unrest that erupted after Floyd's death in May 2020.

Few Americans believe there has been significant progress over the last 50 years in achieving equal treatment for Black people in dealings with police and the criminal justice system.

George Floyd’s death after his arrest by police officers in Minneapolis in May 2020 sparked widespread anger after millions of people saw video of the event.

Daunte Wright Officer Trial Attorney Ben Crump reacts after former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter was sentenced to two years in prison, Friday, Feb. 18, 2022 in Minneapolis. Potter was convicted in December of both first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in the April 11 killing of Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist. “What we see today is the legal system in America in Black and white,” Ben Crump, an attorney for Wright’s family, said after Friday’s sentencing. Family members and activists applauded in December when a mostly white jury convicted Potter of both first- and second-degree manslaughter. But the conduct was similar, and the reality is the Black officer received a harsher sentence.

The issue of race was barely brought up during the trial of Kim Potter.

They pointed out that a Black former officer convicted of shooting a white woman in 2017 in a different Minnesota case got no such mercy despite his expressions of remorse. And I thought my white woman tears would be good enough because they're true and genuine.”She joined a small group of protesters later Friday evening chanting and shouting outside a downtown building they believed included Chu's home. The phrase “white woman tears” has gained currency amid the national reckoning on race, suggesting that white people weaponize their emotions against people of color to protect their privileged positions. “In this case, a young man was killed because Officer Potter was reckless," she said. Officer Potter made a mistake that ended tragically.

The judge who sentenced white former Officer Kim Potter to two years in prison for killing Black motorist Daunte Wright cited the difficult job that police face — and Potter’s remorse — as justification for giving her a light sentence.

Katie Wright brought up the mug shot as she addressed the court, saying it showed Potter wasn't genuinely sorry for his her son's death.

The judge said Potter — who shot and killed Wright in April 2021 — was "trying to do the right thing" and "never intended to hurt anyone."

The former Minnesota officer was convicted of manslaughter after she apparently mistook her gun for her Taser when she fatally shot the 20-year-old Black man. Prosecutors say she should serve time.

Kim Potter, the former suburban Minneapolis police officer who said she confused her handgun for her Taser when she fatally shot Daunte Wright, has been sentenced to two years in prison.

The suburban Minneapolis police officer who said she confused her handgun for her Taser when she killed Daunte Wright is set to be sentenced for her first-degree manslaughter conviction.

Kim Potter, 49, is scheduled to be sentenced Friday following her December conviction of first-degree manslaughter. In a court filing this week, prosecutors said a sentence of slightly more than seven years — which is the presumed penalty under the state's guidelines -- would be proper.

MINNEAPOLIS — (AP) — The state of Minnesota has agreed to pay $825,000 and change several policies to settle a lawsuit brought by journalists who said they were hurt or harassed while covering protests over the police killings of George Floyd and Daunte Wright. It prohibits the Minnesota State Patrol from attacking journalists, arresting or threatening to arrest them, ordering them to disperse, seizing their equipment and more. It also calls for an independent review of all complaints alleging mistreatment of the media covering those protests, and issuing body-worn cameras to all troopers by June. Several journalists reported being struck by less-lethal munitions, herded and detained while covering protests. The ACLU said other portions of the settlement require that the State Patrol be trained on treatment of the media and First Amendment rights.

The former suburban Minneapolis police officer who said she confused her handgun for her Taser when she killed Daunte Wright should face a sentence above the state’s guidelines because she abused her authority as a police officer and endangered others when she fired her weapon, prosecutors said in a court filing Monday. “She expressed remorse and apologized to Mr. Wright’s family from the stand, and will again at sentencing," her attorneys wrote.

George Floyd’s death after his arrest by police officers in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, sparked widespread anger after millions of people saw video of the event.

Three recent convictions of police officers, all in the Minneapolis area, raise the question: Has there been a shift in jurors' historic unwillingness to convict cops in on-duty killings? “What we’re seeing are, the officers are convicted in cases where their conduct cannot be rationally explained,” Stinson said. The fired Minneapolis officers are charged with violating Floyd's civil rights; Chauvin pleaded guilty in the federal case in December. In all three of the recent Minnesota cases where officers were convicted, the victims were unarmed. A jury convicted Noor of murder and manslaughter, but the murder conviction was overturned on appeal.

Trials Explainer Defendants Testifying FILE - Kyle Rittenhouse testifies during his trial at the Kenosha County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wis., on Nov. 10, 2021. ARE MORE DEFENDANTS TESTIFYING? AT WHAT OTHER RECENT TRIALS HAVE DEFENDANTS TESTIFED? The biggest risk is that, by testifying, defendants open themselves up to a potentially devastating cross-examination. During cross at his trial, Rittenhouse made no obvious blunders.

Defendants spoke directly to jurors in a series of recent high-profile trials, defying conventional wisdom that the risks of a client taking the stand usually outweigh the benefits.

The most serious charge against Kim Potter — first-degree manslaughter — carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Under Minnesota statutes, Potter, who is white, will be sentenced only on the most serious charge of first-degree manslaughter. But state sentencing guidelines call for much less. In determining a final sentence, Chu will consider the arguments made by both sides, as well as victim impact statements. Halberg said it's unlikely Chu would sentence Potter below the guideline range, saying: “We live in such a politicized climate now for decisions."

Neither charge required prosecutors to prove Potter intended to kill Wright, and they pointed that out to the jury during opening statements. POTENTIAL PENALTIESThe maximum for first-degree manslaughter is 15 years; for second-degree, it's 10 years. But that's more than the statutory maximum of 15 years for first-degree manslaughter, so 15 years would be the cap for Potter if she's convicted.
