Brooklyn Center Police Chief and Officer Who Shot Daunte Wright Resign WorldViralMedia 29 Views • 5 years ago

A white Minnesota police officer who fatally shot a Black man during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb and the city's chief of police resigned Tuesday, moves that the mayor said he hoped would help heal the community and lead to reconciliation after two nights of protests and unrest.

Officer Kim Potter and Police Chief Tim Gannon both resigned two days after the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center. Potter, a 26-year veteran, had been on administrative leave following Sunday’s shooting, which happened as the Minneapolis area was already on edge over the trial of the first of four police officers in George Floyd’s death.

Gannon has said he believed Potter mistakenly grabbed her gun when she was going for her Taser. She can be heard on her body camera video shouting “Taser! Taser!”

Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott said he was “appreciative” that Potter submitted her resignation but that he had not asked for it. Elliott said he was not sure if it was because she had heard that she would soon be fired. He said he hoped her resignation would “bring some calm to the community,” but that he would keep working towards “full accountability under the law.”

“That's what we're going to continue to work for,” Elliott said. “We have to make sure that justice is served, justice is done. Daunte Wright deserves that, his family deserves that.”

The mayor said the new police leadership was committed to working with community leaders and protesters, who say Wright was racially profiled.

“We're hoping that we're turning over a new leaf now,” he said. “I'm confident of that now.”

Wright was shot as police were trying to arrest him on an outstanding warrant.

“I’ll Tase you! I’ll Tase you! Taser! Taser! Taser!” the officer is heard shouting on her body cam footage released Monday. She draws her weapon after the man breaks free from police outside his car and gets back behind the wheel.

After firing a single shot from her handgun, the car speeds away, and the officer is heard saying, “Holy (expletive)! I shot him.”

Potter, a 26-year veteran, sent a one-paragraph letter of resignation.

“I have loved every minute of being a police officer and serving this community to the best of my ability, but I believe it is in the best interest of the community, the department, and my fellow officers if I resign immediately,” Potter wrote.

Ali Zafar | MELA LOOT LIYA | Cricket Anthem 2020 | Official Music Video WorldViralMedia 24 Views • 6 years ago

PRESENTING: MELA LOOT LIYA ?

For Audio Streaming: https://orcd.co/melalootliya

A song for the fans, by the fans.

If you like it, then none of this should be credited to me, but to my fans and all the passionate people who came together to make this magic happen.

Normally, a task like this that involves producing a song and a music video requires weeks if not months of planning, a highly professional crew and equipment, lots of cash or a big cooperate sponsorship. All we had were 6-7 days, a shoe string budget and no time to pre plan anything.

As the campaign grew bigger ORGANICALLY, we were approached by many sponsors to become a part of this, but I wanted its spirit, it's soul, to remain absolutely pure with no commercial gain attached to it. The sole objective of this was to showcase my love for the fans, the game of cricket, my beloved country Pakistan and its people.

Our Gmail crashed multiple times as we kept receiving hundreds of videos daily from all over the world. People from all walks of life making the effort to get together and record their synchronised dance steps to a Dhol beat and voluntarily become a part of what would eventually become an unprecedented phenomenon - a case study rather.

If anyone would ever ask me how I managed it. My answer would simply be that it was not “I”. For it is LOVE that makes the impossible - possible. Things which the human mind cannot comprehend. Things which can’t be explained, only felt.

I hope you feel it too.

This is my ode to all my fans.
