IT: Ex-officer charged with manslaughter in shooting of Daunte Wright, and... Do you support lifting abortion-pill restrictions during COVID?
Join us and tell your reps how you feel!
Welcome to Thursday, April 15th, dine-ins and to-gos...
A white police officer who shot dead a Black motorist in Minnesota when she mistook her gun for a taser will be charged with second degree manslaughter, prosecutors have said.
Body camera footage shows Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter yelled "Taser!" but fired her service weapon, killing the 20-year-old Duante Wright during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon.
Potter had been placed on administrative leave but penned a resignation Tuesday, writing:
“I have loved every minute of being a police officer and serving this community to the best of my ability, but I believe it is the best interest of the community, the department, and my fellow officers if I resign immediately.”
Late Wednesday, law enforcement issued three dispersal orders to a crowd of protesters gathered for a fourth night outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department.

Biden FDA Lifts Abortion-Pill Restriction Amid Pandemic
The Biden administration has announced that individuals seeking an abortion pill will not be required to visit a doctor’s office in-person during the COVID-19 pandemic. The restrictions had been put in place under the Trump administration.
The FDA announced the policy change in a letter to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists on Tuesday. Citing four medical publications, acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock wrote:
"[T]hese studies do not appear to show increases in serious safety concerns… occurring with medical abortion as a result of modifying the in-person dispensing requirement during the COVID-19 pandemic."
Abortion opponents argue the move will jeopardize women’s health:
“With this action, the Biden administration has made it clear that they will prioritize abortion over women’s safety,” said Jeanne Mancini, president of the anti-abortion group March for Life.

September 11th Withdrawal Date From Afghanistan
President Biden has announced that the U.S. will begin the withdrawal of the 2,500 American troops who remain in Afghanistan on May 1st, with all expected to be withdrawn by September 11th.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks that were planned at Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban.
Biden’s announcement comes after the Trump administration initiated a drawdown to the current 2,500 troops before completing the withdrawal in May. Unlike the prior administration’s plan, Biden’s withdrawal is not conditions-based and he said it will go ahead regardless of events that transpire between now and September.
The U.S. halted offensive operations in Afghanistan in early 2020 amid negotiations with the Taliban, which renounced cooperation with Al Qaeda.
Do you support or oppose Biden’s unconditional withdrawal from Afghanistan by September 11th?

Yes!
I support lifting abortion pill restrictions all the time, not just during COVID.
I just got paid $6684 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $8k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do----> www.nifty2.com
The question is tough are we a country or laws or lawlessness.
I am an ex police officer. The officer here made an egregious mistake. She needs to own it and accept her punishment. An outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor offense should not be a death sentence, nor should minor resistance based on a legitimate fear of the police. It’s time to draw a line in the sand and stop letting rogue and/or irresponsible police off the hook.
She made a horrible mistake and she is owning it, resigned immediately, turned herself in, and is taking responsibility. What more do we want? Imagine if all LEO had this integrity.
She should not have been charged. Common sense just comply. Really.
We kill over 800 thousand children a year, The same people talk about controlling firearms, while killing 800 thousand Keeping there pants up prevents abortion
The same day Wright was shot, a white New Mexico officer was shot during a seemingly routine traffic stop. Where is his news segment? Or is the left picking and choosing their stories by the race of the people involved? Racist. I guess Demonrats will never stray far from their KKK roots.
Stop murdering babies
Answered all the questions mentioned here I want to know where the obnoxious venom spewing congresswoman is now She obliterated Al Franken’s career and forced him out of Congress He was a comedian Did something stupid Apologized Where is her venom now? Why is Matt Gaetz serving on the judicial committee? Why isn’t she ruining his career? Where are all the me too people? I backed and still back their cause but they better get their collective voices in gear
There should be no restrictions on abortion EVER. Abortion is between a woman and her doctor period. If men got pregnant abortion would be a sacrament
To all the dems who are saying to abolish the police...you do realize how crazy you sound? How about we get rid of AOC and Tlaib security guards first and the capital police and then maybe they’ll have credibility with their damaging mindless words.
Ex-Officer Kim potter is realizing that actions have consequences. I hope more police do. I support Biden’s plan to add more justices to the Supreme Court
He resisted arrest and what happened was an accident. Don’t resist the police.
A New Mexico officer was killed doing what some want police to do A officer who is awake, gets dirt on his pant leg walking up to the drivers side of the car He stops 2 feet from the door of the car, Instructs the driver what he wants him to do Driver keeps his hands in site, In New Mexico the Policeman is in the passenger side of the vehicle, he can’t see the hands of the driver as he gets out of the Vehicle, he paid for it with his life In Minneapolis, the man is standing out side the car, fights with the police, gets back in the car, No officer lets anyone do that, or he is asking for what took place in New Mexico Instead, the man fighting police got shot
Why aren’t the New Mexico Police burning Buildings, looting WalMart,,they had a officer killed, shouldn’t they do what people in Minneapolis- do ????
The officer made a terrible blunder and she owned it. May God give her the strength to face up to the consequences. | I oppose abortifacients on principle. Abortion kills an innocent human life. Denying the humanity of the unborn is an arbitrary exercise in semantics. Abortion dehumanizes both the unborn and the abortionist.
