"I have loved every minute of being a police officer and serving this community to the best of my ability, but I believe it is in the best interest of the community, the department and my fellow officers if I resign immediately," she wrote.
Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott said the city didn't ask Potter, a 26-year veteran, to resign.
