Rawlings-Blake: Daunte Wright Wouldn’t Resist Arrest If Kim Potter Didn’t Stop Him over Air Freshener

EXCERPT:

RAWLINGS-BLAKE: "I think there definitely needs to be more training on implicit bias. Whether she may saw a taser, saw a gun, the fact is she shouldn’t have had to see anything. She had a trainee who was making a stop for, a stop that she said she would not make, but for the fact that the trainee stopped Daunte for that air freshener. The defense attorney said but for Daunte’s resisting arrest this wouldn’t have happened. But honestly, but for her — she could have said no, we do not stop people for air fresheners in this jurisdiction and she didn’t. And that’s where the bias comes in, I believe."
