Former Brooklyn Center Police Department Officer Kim Potter, who shouted “taser” moments before fatally shooting a 20-year-old man who appeared to be resisting arrest according to video of the altercation, will stand trial for manslaughter at the end of this year, a Hennepin County judge said Monday. 

According to The Washington Post, Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu said that Potter will be scheduled for trial in December in connection with Daunte Wright’s death. Potter, who served on the police force for 26 years before resigning, was charged with second-degree manslaughter mere days after the fateful altercation with Wright.
