#1051. Potter's Gun Is Why

Minnesota police officer Kim Potter was just sentenced for her role in the death of motorist Daunte Wright.

She got 2 years in prison.  16 months with the remainder on supervised release.  

I watched portions of the trial and 7 years seemed pretty steep.  I mean, it's not like she tested positive for marijuana or kneeled for the national anthem or was a lesbian atheist or whatever.  Just sayin'.

 

 

Potter’s Gun Is Why
sonofsaf

Bullet fired into you
Taser choice had gone askew
Blue warriors do what they do

Different colors no knock raids
Gunshots how they serenade
Pistol whipped Glock twenty two

Duty calls to stop them all
Fuzzy dice and turn signals
Duante Wright deserved to die

Bullet fired into you
Taser choice had gone askew
Body cams they do not lie

Duante Wright deserved to die
And Kim Potter’s gun is why

 

Water In The Sky
Phish

Listen as she speaks to you
Hear the voices flutter through
The barriers arranged by you

Close the shutters draw the shades
Filter out the everglades
Glistening with evening dew

Thunder calls through waterfalls
Rising tides and ocean walls
I can hear you when you sigh

Listen as she speaks to you
Hear the voices flutter through
Watch them fall and let them lie

I can hear you when you sigh
Through the water in the sky

 

Have I ever heard Phish play this song live?  Good question.  

The answer is yes.  But I had to look it up.
