  1. That she didn't get out of the car and approach the child is amassive red flag - even in "current year", I'd rather be falsely accused than risk a toddler straying into the road. But maybe that's just me? 🤷

  2. Indeed, to break the record by such a margin! A real vindication of all the hard work, training and sacrifice.

  3. The fact that a trans athlete is upset a man broke their record is hilarious!

  4. In the UK, 'Perverting the Course of Justice' can get you life.

  5. The wording of the statute is specific about whether deadly force is permissible. The insane thing is, if she'd just shot him, it would have been legal. It was a justified shoot, it just looked bad. The prosecution went way outside the law in their "evidence". Just awful.

  6. It could have been a "moment of madness" / cry for help - and I hope it was - which means she can be helped... But given where we are, I wouldn't be betting on it, sadly; she's probably a narcissist and that's almost certainly incurable in someone over 25 🤷

  7. I'm going to just say it: Wright deserved to die. It wasn't Potter's fault. Given the context, for Wright NOT to be operating under the assumption that "cops are looking for any excuse to shoot black people", yet he still tried to flee. Suicide by cop. If I knowingly drink bleach, I deserve to die. If I run blindfolded across a busy motorway, I deserve to get hit. I have no sympathy for Wright or his parents - if they'd done a better job, maybe he wouldn't have toured out to be a thug who has warrants hot his arrest. This isn't about "back the blue, no matter who" - this is about justice, right and wrong. If she was corrupt, I'd be calling for the book to be thrown, but she was the model of what a cop is supposed to be.

  8.  @mikelee7318  🤣 That's the crazy think. The ONLY person responsible for the death of Daunte Wright, is Daunte Wright.

  9. Vote with you wallet and your eyes. Use alternatives like Daily Wire or Timcast. If you're in the UK, stop paying the TV licence and just use streaming services instead. Yes, you lose access to live sports, but it's a small sacrifice to put these liars out of a job.

  10. The kid wasn't sat on it, he was next to it. I bet he was some distance away and came up to her as she got on the bike.

  11. The claim of weed, but never stating they smell weed is a red flag for me. The teen was totally chill and accepted he wrongdoing, they then get him out of the car into the rain and dicked him around for however long and when he called "bullshit", they arrest him? Yeah, these cops are a problem.

  12. If it weren't for the inevitable unintended consequences, there's a part of me that wants this to be treated, summarily, as Contempt. It's absolute madness.

  13.  @GingeRenee  Honestly, I don't know, but faith compels me to believe it's possible. I know psychopathy/sociopathy is not, as this has a physical element (brain structures). Narcissism, at its heart, is driven by belief and lack of taking responsibility. In my late teens, I think I was on the path to full-blown narcissism (vulnerable, not grandiose), but I got help and support that began correcting my thought patterns. It's only the past 2 years or so that I'm finally purging the last really narcissistic thoughts. I'm now 43. Coincidentally, my life is also much better - the more I took responsibility for what was going on, the happier and more successful I became. We all have ego and a little narcissism, of course, but pathological narcissism is destructive to yourself and everyone around you - only really good looking people can ever get away with it (Amber Heard, Justin Trudeau...) So, is it curable? If it's caught young enough or the treatment is extreme enough, maybe it is? But does society have the stomach to treat narcissists the way they need to be to be cured? Almost certainly not.

  14. Plus, she was in FTO mode. This adds additional factor outside the normal day-to-day. It could well be simply the additional cognitive load of this that tipped the scales... Again, this is all backed by research from the airline industry, as the defence expert talked about.

  15. Precisely.

  16.  @alandavis6429  What are you talking about? The arrest was lawful. Did you even watch the trial?

  17.  @angelbast3rd133  Yeah, it's called "consequences of your actions". I know your parents didn't introduce this concept to you, but the majority of us - especially those of us who saw Tyson box at his prime - are familiar with this idea.

  19.  @darkpill  1. The model she had is black on the top and rear, so is MUCH easier to confuse with a firearm. 2. Under stress, that kid of detail perception goes out of the window, because you focus on the threat. 3. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

  20.  @theincantrix1144  Yeah, I know. In the UK, they're classed as a firearm. Unfortunately for Potter, that's not the case in MN.

  21.  @Doxymeister  How many cops will just stop carrying Tasers? How many will contract COVID - or have been in contact with someone, so need to self-isolate - over the next couple of days?

  22.  @edward2516  I refer you to the testimony of the former chief of police, who was dragged by a car driven by a fleeing suspect. She had the grounds to use deadly force BECAUSE OF HIS ACTIONS, not hers or anyone else's.

  27. The fact that he "got what he deserved" makes it legal. You poke a bear, you can't complain when the bear bites your hand off... If I were the magistrate, I'd be telling the stupid child to apologise to Mr Tyson and thing about what he's done...

  29.  @CatGamer-wc2ij  If there's ever a case for someone receiving the maximum sentence... Yes, you can get Life for Perverting the Course of Justice. Given she has shown no remorse, there's a good chance she'll do it again.

  30.  @milktobo7418  You clearly don't actually know anything about Mike Tyson... He could have beaten that kid to death with his bare hands. So yeah, he showed restraint. He gave the kid a spanking for misbehaving in public... Something his parents clearly failed to do.

  31.  @TransRoofKorean  LOL, was thinking "he'll only tell it a few times before he realises how embarrassing it is"... ... but then I remembered what brought us here in the first place 🤣

  33. You're confusing "Munchausen" and "Munchausen by proxy". This would be 'classic' Munchausen. Of she's mentally ill, why prison? To plead 'Diminished Responsibility' (insanity), you have to admit to the underlying offence. She's unrepentant, so will likely do this again when she comes out. She's bad, not mad.

  37. Legal context: In the UK "life sentence" means "life on licence", that is, when you are given a life sentence, you will be given a custodial term, after which, you will be released, but you are only "out" because we want to see if you've been rehabilitated. If you are "out on licence" and break almost any law, you can be "recalled", which could mean ending up serving the rest of your sentance behind bars. The "whole life term" was introduced around the turn of the millennium, due to public outcry that was basically a result of us no longer having the death penalty. Some people are saying that she'll be released or that it will be reduced on appeal. I can assure you that anyone saying this is flat-out wrong. If there is one thing that you can be sure of, it's that the British public have no mercy for baby murderers ESPECIALLY when they are women. Ian Bradey and Myra Hindley died behind bars. Beverly Allitt is still behind bars (and is almost certain never to be released, even though, formally, she doesn't have a full-life term IIRC). This hateful witch will die behind bars or politicians will hang from lamp posts.

  38.  @wolfie54321  Precisely. How anyone could listen to the defence expert who studied this and NOT have reasonable doubt leads me to concur with the assessment that "no cop can receive a fair trial in the twin cities".

  39. For me and my brother, it's the executions that cross the line. If he'd "just shot them" and called the police, even if he'd "setup an ambush", we are of the view that "castle doctrine exists, or it doesn't". Obviously, if he'd actively induced them, that would be murder, but moving his car, no matter the motive, isn't enough to undermine Castle Doctrine - the precedent it would set is "if you believe people are coming, you lose your right to defend yourself", which would be absurd and thoroughly undermine self-defence. We'd probably have gone for 2nd degree or diminished responsibility, as he was clearly unhinged, but it was clearly murder. Either way, this case is a damning indictment of the authorities - we have no doubt they went for 1st degree for this reason; to take the focus away from them and their failings.

  48. ​ @itbesilly4544  No, it won't. Hindley never got released. Beverly Allitt is still behind bars. One thing NO government is dumb enough to do is release baby murderers. They know they would be literally lynched.
