The Star Tribune reported Monday that “relatives of a Minneapolis woman who was fatally shot by a police officer responding to her 911 call have filed a federal lawsuit claiming the officer who fired and his partner conspired to cover up evidence by not turning on their body-worn cameras and later hiding behind a ‘blue wall of silence.’”
There is ample reason to support the claims in this suit, which is seeking more than $50 million in damages.
Justine Ruszczyk Damond called 911 in Minneapolis in July 2017 to report what she thought might be a rape; when police arrived, she approached the police car, and Muslim Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor shot her dead. After that, Noor refused for months to be interviewed by investigators.... The more Noor and those who know him spoke, the more it became clear: he didn’t act in self-defense, as he has implausibly claimed.
Mohamed Noor is a Somali Muslim. He was the first Somali Muslim on the Minneapolis police force. In 2016, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges expressed her excitement about that fact: “I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department. Officer Noor has been assigned to the 5th Precinct, where his arrival has been highly celebrated, particularly by the Somali community in and around Karmel Mall.”
Hodges wasn’t excited because Mohamed Noor had the skills necessary to become a fine police officer. She was only excited because he represented a religious and ethnic [group] that she was anxious to court. ...
So why was he on the force at all? Because he was the first Somali Muslim on the Minneapolis police force. He was a symbol of our glorious multicultural mosaic. He was a rebuke to “Islamophobes” and proof that what they say is false....
Mohamed Noor is clearly a trigger-happy, panicky, reckless individual who held his job not because he was fit for it, but because of what he symbolized. And in the wake of his failure, Minneapolis multiculturalists made no effort to reconsider the errors of judgment that led to Noor being hired as a policeman in the first place....
