Anti-Racism Protesters Hold Rally at Minnesota State Capitol against Police Brutality

Potter was sentenced to two years in jail by a Minnesota court on Friday, after being found guilty of first and second degree manslaughter earlier in December, for the death of the 20-year-old Duante Wright.

The former police officer killed Wright after mistakenly using a gun instead of a taser during a traffic stop operation in April 2021.

The 22-year old Locke was shot dead by police in Minneapolis on February 2, after a SWAT team raided his home without notice.

Police had been searching for Locke’s cousin, who was later arrested.
