Kim Potter breaks down while testifying in her own defense in the shooting death of Daunte Wright: 'I remember yelling 'Taser, Taser, Taser,' and nothing happened. And then he told me I shot him.'
Kim Potter was emotional on the witness stand as she described the fatal traffic stop. She shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who was being arrested by officers and attempted to flee.
"I remember a struggle with Officer [Anthony] Luckey and the driver at the door," Potter testified."The driver was trying to get back into the car … I went around Officer Luckey as they're trying to get back in the door."Former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter testifies in court in Minneapolis, Dec. 17, 2021.
She added,"They're still struggling and I can see Officer Johnson and the drivers struggling over the gearshifts because I can see Johnson's hand and then I can see his face.""He had a look of fear on his face -- nothing I'd seen before," she said."We're trying to keep him from driving away. It just went chaotic. And then I remember yelling, 'Taser, Taser, Taser,' and nothing happened and then [Wright] told me I shot him.
"An air freshener, to me, is not just an equipment violation," she testified."The COVID times, the high COVID times, the Department of Motor Vehicles was so offline that people weren't getting tabs and we were advised not to try to enforce a lot of those things because the tabs were just not in circulation.
