Any relation to Amadou Diallo, gunned down in a doorway by cops while he reached for his wallet? Or was he the guy who got sodomized with a broom handle by cops. So many atrocities, it’s hard to keep them straight.

Diallou (I think with a U) was the wallet guy who got shot. Somebody else got the broom treatment.

I was thinking that immediately on seeing her surname.
I was just going to google it.
I will and report back.

Interesting, what I found....this is absolutely the FIRST time I have seen her name, but as soon as ONE WEEK after the alleged assault took place she was mentioned by name on a website called AFRICAN VIEWS, which also included a comprehensive run-down of everything that was known about the case, and ALL the players from the IMF, French politics and US Law Enforcement. Kind of surprising that her name has been out there that long. Some commentators have even written that she was the WIFE of Amadou Diallo, and they both have roots in Guinea. But Diallo happens to be a surname in that part of the world as common as “Kim” in Korea.

Diallo is the West African equivalent of Smith or Patel or Chang.

Extremely common surname over there, like Smith or Jones.
