MINNEAPOLIS — Supporters and family of Daunte Wright decried the two-year prison sentence handed down Friday to Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kimberly Potter for Wright's killing.
The sentence was far too lenient, they said, and signaled a lack of reverence for Wright, 20, who died after Potter shot him in April during a traffic stop.
Tension erupted briefly inside the courthouse atrium following the sentencing, resulting in law enforcement handcuffing two people just before noon. The circumstances of their arrests were unclear.
