US-Somali Cop Who Shot Dead An Australian Woman Faces Another Charge
2019-03-03
I find it fascinating that in such faraway countries they keep such careful track of what happens to their emigrants.
[RadioShabelle] The US-Somali cop accused of fatally shooting an Australian woman outside her home had brandished his gun on a driver during a traffic stop months earlier, it has been revealed.

Dashcam footage has emerged showing former Minneapolis police officer Mohammed Noor, 33, pointing his weapon at a driver after he had stopped him for allegedly not using his turn signal in May 2017.
It’s odd that Mr. Noor chose this particular line of work. According to his neighbours, he is by nature ill tempered and jumpy, and dislikes women, children at play, and African-Americans.
Noor has been charged with second-degree intentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for allegedly gunning down life coach Justine Ruszczyk Damond, 40, after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault behind her home in July 2017. Ms Damond, who was originally from Sydney, rushed outside in her pyjamas to meet officers when Noor opened fire.

#2  "Noor had a history of ’unnecessarily escalating force"

wonder why he wasn't dumped beforehand. Gee, I wonder why? What could it be?

Local boy makes good, and all that. Otherwise, the news is just a depressing bunch of people were killed, a bomb or two went off and a touch of disease/famine.

Back when Officer Twitchy joined the force, Mrs Mayor made quite a big deal out it - enough whoop-de-doo that one could be reasonably suspicious of Yet Another Affirmative Action hire. It was also regarded as a sign that the Somali community was successfully integrating. A lot of warning signs that would have disqualified a normal candidate were ignored. Viva Diversity!
