“Depraved” Somali Cop ‘Mistakenly’ Kills Innocent Woman, So Prosecutor KNOCKS HIS ASS OUT Out With A Murder Charge

He’s in some deep shit, and rightly so.

While responding to a report of possible sexual assault last July in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a Somali cop who had reportedly graduated from a “quicker, nontraditional” fast-track training program discharged his weapon, killing an Australian white woman by the name of Justine Damond, according to the Star Tribune:

The shot came after [Somali cop Mohamed] Noor and his partner, Matthew Harrity, had driven through the alley behind Damond’s home, saw no suspicious activity and were preparing to leave when they were surprised by someone outside the police car. Harrity, the driver, told investigators he was “spooked,” feared for his life, and took his gun from its holster before Noor reached across and fired his weapon out the driver’s side window.

Harrity looked out his window and saw Damond clutching her abdomen with both hands. He recalled her saying, “I’m dying,” or “I’m dead.”

Following the fatal shooting, Noor’s family released a statement claiming his decision to reach across his partner and discharge his weapon at Damond had been nothing but a simple ol’ mistake.

“We feel so bad about this, we are traumatized ourselves. It’s so unfortunate. If you wait for the investigation you’ll know it was an honest and sincere event that transpired. Until then we can’t really say anything,” his family said.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman disagreed. On Tuesday he reportedly indicted Noor on third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, citing the Somali cop’s “depraved mind” as evidence:

“A person sitting in a passenger seat of a squad car takes a gun, hears a noise, maybe sees some object … he reaches across in front of his partner, shoots a gun at an object that he can’t see. That’s evidence of a depraved mind in my view,” he said.

“There is no evidence that … Officer Noor encountered, appreciated, investigated or confirmed a threat that justified the decision to use deadly force. Instead, Officer Noor recklessly and intentionally fired his handgun from the passenger seat, a location at which he would have been less able than Officer Harrity to see and hear events on the other side of the squad car.”

However, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest Noor should never have been hired. Though he’d been on the force for only two years, he already “had three complaints on file,” including two that still remained under investigation, as reported last year by Saint Paul station KSTP.

Moreover, The Australian confirmed that he graduated “after being placed in an ­accelerated program and spent just eight months in the classroom, because he already had a business degree.”

While it’s unclear whether racial quotas played a role in Noor being hired, the Star Tribune pointed out that “[s]ome law enforcement professionals” support the accelerated program because it’s “a way to attract more diverse people with broader life experiences.”

In other words, they support it because it promotes so-called diversity …

Question: How’s that “diversity” working out for ya’ll?
