NAACP Scolds Lenient Sentencing of Kim Potter

The NAACP stands with Wright's family in collective outrage as we witness yet another injustice in Minnesota. 16 months in prison and 8 months on probation is a slap on the wrist. As scores of Black men sit in prison for the rest of their lives for committing non-violent crimes, Kim Potter will be a free woman in one year despite the fact that Daunte Wright's daughter will live the rest of her life without her father. This only magnifies what we already know - the system is broken. Our hearts and minds are with the Wright family today as they suffer another injustice.
