Somali-American Minneapolis cop who shot dead an unarmed yoga instructor, 40, is requesting no jail time despite being convicted of her murder
2019-06-01
[DailyMail]
  • Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor,
    ...also in our archives as Mohammed Noor, he was the first Somali-American on the Minneapolis police force. Despite being flagged by two psychiatrists as unable to handle the stress of the job, and described his neighbours as ill tempered and jumpy, and disliking women, children at play, and African-Americans, he was put through the fast track training for college grads. On the day of the shooting, with almost two years experience he was the senior man in the car...
    convicted of fatally shooting an unarmed woman in 2017, plans to ask a sentencing judge for no prison time

  • If that's not granted, his defense lawyers are seeking less prison time than state sentencing guidelines recommend which call for a prison term of 11 to 15 years

  • Noor's lawyers filed a motion Thursday, May 30 asking for a 'dispositional departure' when he is sentenced June 7

  • He was found guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the shooting of Justine Damond, 40, who called 911 to report a possible crime
    The events in question took place on 15 July 2017; the first article in our archives was published two days later.

#9  Could we permanently deport him to Somalia since he's so proud of his heritage? Or hang him, like others have said.

#8  Minneapolis taxpayers who elected the idiots that pushed the policies that put this unqualified murderer on the police force in spite of multiple red flags. Screw the Minneapolis taxpayers - their actions should have consequences. Vote for progressives, pay the price.

#7  I'm saying there are some city pols and pols in cop suits who need to be sentenced along with him.

I'd say sue their asses off but then the money would come from Minneapolis taxpayers. So, yeah, put them in jail because what they did was felony stupid and sometimes you have to make an example of people like that.

#5  No jail time. Fine, hang his ass.

#4  OK, taking a contrarian look at this... he has a point that as the first gloss indicates, he wasn't psychologically fit for for the job but was pushed into it by the City in furtherance of their "diversity" fetish. Be like the Vikings making me a left guard and then being surprised when Cousins gets creamed. No, I;m not saying he's blameless and should skate, I'm saying there are some city pols and pols in cop suits who need to be sentenced along with him.

#3  Well, convicted of a felony we can strip him of his citizenship and ship his ass back to Somali instead of jail time. I'm good with that.

#2  But the flamethrower has to be loaded with actual napalm.

And none of that cheap imported stuff!

#1  That's fine. How about 30 seconds of flamethrower time? That will work just fine for me. But the flamethrower has to be loaded with actual napalm.
