The city manager of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota told Fox News Tuesday night that he still has integrity despite losing his job Monday after calling for due process for the police officer that shot Duante Wright. “I lost my job, but I still have my integrity,” former City Manager Curt Boganey told Fox News in a statement, Tucker Carlson revealed on his Tuesday night show. Carlson said that Fox News invited Boganey on air, but he was hesitant to make any media appearances. Boganey was fired from his job by the Brooklyn Center City Council after saying that the police officer who shot Duante Wright should have due process. Officer Kim Potter shot Wright while he was fleeing arrest after being pulled over for a traffic stop, and a video showed her shouting “taser!” before shooting Wright with her firearm.

The expense associated with a death sentence is so enormous, it has led even conservative lawmakers to consider abolition . The racist origins of the death penalty have become ever more apparent as the nation grapples with its sordid … [Read more...] about How to end the arbitrariness of capital punishment in America
