Former Minneapolis police officer, Kim Potter, goes on trial this week for mistakenly using her service firearm on Daunte Wright rather than the taser she thought she was holding.

You'll recall Wright feigned compliance, then resisted and attempted evasion when Officer Potter was arresting him for illegal firearms warrants. She warned Wright he'd be tased, but drew her firearm instead before calling out, "taser, taser, taser!"
