Kim Potter, the former Minneapolis police officer who killed Daunte Wright, was sentenced on Friday to two years in prison. That was far less than the standard manslaughter sentence of around seven years. Potter fatally shot Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist, during a routine traffic stop last April. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro has our story. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
