   An activist in Minneapolis has been arrested and charged with   
   attempting to intimidate a judge handling the trial of an ex-   
   police officer who killed a Black man in April.   
      
   According to KARE 11, 32-year-old Minneapolis activist Cortez   
   Rice is charged in Hennepin County with one count of harassment   
   involving retaliation against a judicial officer. Rice and his   
   colleagues were at the condo of the judge protesting the   
   decision that Judge Regina Chu isn’t allowing cameras and audio   
   devices in the courtroom for the Kim Potter trial.   
      
   Potter is facing manslaughter charges for the shooting and   
   killing of Daunte Wright after a car chase.   
      
   Chu previously had an order that would not allow cameras in the   
   courtroom. Right after the protest, the judge altered the order   
   and allowed the trial to be televised, as she stated the reason   
   was COVID-related, not due to the protest.   
      
   Prosecutors observed a video of the protest that Rice   
   livestreamed. They allege he stood outside the door of a condo   
   and said, “We on her heels. What she think (inaudible) we want   
   cameras. The people deserve to know.”   
      
   Reports say that Rice was heard on the live stream shouting, “we   
   demand transparency. We’d hate you to get kicked out of your   
   apartment.” Another protestor was heard saying the incident was   
   a “trial run” and that they would be back.   
      
   According to the papers filed, Chu told investigators, “it was   
   her belief the intention was to intimidate her and to interfere   
   with the judicial process.”   
      
   In April, according to the Star Tribune, former Minnesota police   
   officer Kim Potter, who resigned after she killed Daunte Wright,   
   had been arrested on a charge of second-degree manslaughter. The   
   charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a   
   $20,000 fine.   
      
   The arrest took place a day after Potter resigned from the   
   Brooklyn Center Police Department after claiming that she   
   mistakenly fired her service weapon, thinking it was her taser   
   gun.   
      
   Potter, a 26-year veteran and a former police union president,   
   pulled Wright and his girlfriend over due to an expired tag.   
   Wright had an outstanding warrant in his name, and police tried   
   to handcuff him outside of his car.
