Daunte Wright's family and attorneys angrily condemned Judge Regina Chu for cutting former Officer Kim Potter a break.
Ex-cop Kim Potter speaks before a judge sentenced her to two years in the killing of Daunte Wright.
The phrase"white woman tears" has gained currency amid the national reckoning on race, suggesting that white people weaponize their emotions against people of color to protect their privileged positions. But Chu said Potter's conduct over an otherwise exemplary 26-year career"cries out" for a shorter sentence.
