BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (AP) — A white Minnesota police officer who fatally shot a Black man during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb resigned Tuesday.

Kim Potter 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.

The city’s police chief has said he believes Potter mistakenly grabbed her gun when she was going for her Taser. She can be heard on her body camera video shouting “Taser! Taser!”

“Whenever, through the line of duty, someone kills another human being, there must be accountability,” Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott told the “Today” show earlier Tuesday.

1. A lot of times officers resign to protect their pensions

3. or to find another job

4. I Doubt She'll Find Another Job In Law Enforcement

She's tainted by what happened. It's funny, but you can work for 40 years and have your entire career defined by one minute...and you can't take it back.

6. Exactly

and the police departments let them, as well as the cities.............

and trust me, all you people just scraping by, living off just your social security, you don't want to see some of these pensions of the Police & Fire.....

2. I think that was the right thing to do

I wonder if it was her own idea.

5. Only to be hired...
