Kim Potter testified at her manslaughter trial about the 'chaotic' fatal shooting of Daunte Wright.
A former Minnesota police officer has tearfully recounted the "chaotic" moment she shot and killed a black motorist in April.
Footage of the incident shown in court last week shows Ms Potter repeatedly yelling "Taser" before firing a single shot from her pistol. She is later seen sitting on the pavement in tears. Ms Potter resigned from the police force two days after the incident. In court, she said that "she did not want anything bad to happen to the city" following the shooting, which had received widespread attention.
Ms Potter's attorneys have argued that the use of force - including deadly force - was justified, claiming that Mr Wright endangered the officers in an attempt to flee from the arrest.
