Kim Potter, who killed Daunte Wright, sentenced to 24 months, fine on manslaughter convictions

Former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter was sentenced to 24 months and a fine of $1,000 on Friday, Feb. 18 following her conviction in the death of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man who was fatally shot during a traffic stop.

Potter will serve 16 months in prison and the remaining eight months on supervised release, a sentence far below what the prosecution sought. Judge Regina Chu said this case was “highly unsual”

“This is one of the saddest cases I have had in my 20 years on the bench,” Chu said when delivering the sentence. “Officer Potter made a mistake that ended tragically, but she never intended to hurt anyone.”

Blue State Blues: Justin Trudeau, Third World Authoritarian

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau showed this week that it’s not only African countries that need to worry about collapsing into authoritarianism.

His decision to invoke emergency powers simply to deal with protests that have been almost entirely peaceful was completely without justification, and was based partly in the fervent desire of an urbane cultural elite to assert its political power against a working-class, rural lumpenproletariat.

Trudeau’s Harsh Response To Peaceful Trucker Protest Is A Fool’s Move

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked Canada’s Emergencies Act to treat like terrorists the trucker protest in the capital city of Ottawa and at key Canada-U.S. border crossings. Citing a “public order emergency,” Trudeau can now deploy the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, forbid any public assembly, control private companies, cut off supplies, and seize bank accounts to stop the “emergency.”

“Without a court order, banks will be able freeze personal accounts of anyone linked to the protests,” noted Aaron Kheriaty.

3rd convoy organizer arrested

Large numbers of police officers are moving in on protesters in downtown Ottawa and making arrests — including high profile organizers Tamara Lich, Chris Barber and Pat King — during an intense clash with the demonstrators who have so far refused to leave the area.

Convoy organizer Pat King livestreamed his arrest on Facebook. He is seen in a vehicle with at least two other people as an officer asks him to step out. A second officer is seen on the passenger side of the vehicle.

King responds by saying he would like to call his lawyer right away.

Canada’s political earthquake

Take a walk around downtown Ottawa, and you’ll find nearly 400 trucks and RVs blocking the main roads of Canada’s capital city. You’ll see a hundred protesters or thousands of protesters, depending on the day.

There’s a sauna; there are games for children. You might come across the row of port-a-potties that was installed by one of the protesters. There’s a bouncy castle and a stage for live music.

You’ll likely see flags that say “F*** Trudeau,” referring to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and you may even see one of the swastika-stamped Canadian flags that were floating around in the early days of the protest.

Amazon suspends Black Lives Matter from its charity platform

The beleaguered Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has been kicked off Amazon’s charity platform for its failure to disclose where tens of millions in donations it received nearly two years ago have ended up.

AmazonSmile, which gives a portion of eligible purchases on the online shopping site to charities, said it “had to temporarily suspend” the group today, an Amazon spokesperson told The Post.

“States have rules for nonprofits, and organizations participating in AmazonSmile need to meet those rules,” the spokesperson said. “Unfortunately this organization fell out of compliance with the rules in several states, so we’ve had to temporarily suspend them from the program until they come into compliance.”

Canada’s Panicked Government Engages in Undemocratic Theft

Apparently the rule of law doesn’t matter if Justin Trudeau doesn’t like your peaceful protest.

Emergency powers, threats to freeze the finances of peaceful protesters, and smearing critics as terrorists—it has to be China, right? But no, it’s our neighbor to the north, under a leader with a bad case of China-envy. For all the world to see, a panicky Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is throwing a tantrum over protests against restrictive pandemic policy that warns us how quickly an established democracy can lose its mind. It’s an advertisement for the value of cryptocurrency and other means of escaping the reach of the financial police state.

Part of Canada’s problem is that the country has rarely seen large numbers of people take to the streets in opposition to government actions. As a consequence, officials and some members of the public are wigging out over what would cause people elsewhere to shrug.
