Shooting of Justine Damond (Black on White shot and killed by Minneapolis Police Officer)
The Guardian ^ | July 2017 | Wikipedia

Posted on 06/08/2020 12:24:43 PM PDT by Hostage

On July 15, 2017, Justine Damond (née Ruszczyk) a 40-year-old Australian-American woman, was fatally shot by a 33-year-old Mohamed Noor, a Somali-American Minneapolis Police Department officer, after she had called 9-1-1 to report the possible assault of a woman in an alley behind her house. Occurring weeks after a high-profile manslaughter trial acquittal in the 2016 police shooting of Philando Castile, also in the Twin Cities metro area, the shooting exacerbated existing tensions and attracted national and international press.

Justine Maia Damond (April 4, 1977 – July 15, 2017) grew up in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and attended Manly High School. She graduated in 2002 from the University of Sydney as a veterinarian, then worked as a spiritual healer and meditation coach. She met Don Damond, a U.S. citizen, while attending a neuroscience workshop. The couple became engaged on December 29, 2014, and planned to marry in August 2017. Damond stopped using her surname Ruszczyk and took the Damond's family name ahead of their marriage. Damond held dual Australia and United States citizenship, as her father, John Ruszczyk, holds US citizenship.

I really loathe to engage in racist related events or happenings as they ALWAYS reveal to me ignorance, untruths or half-truths, unbalanced reasoning, and mostly fodder for stupid news groups that feed off and add to drama taking place real-time.

If you are scientifically minded, one of the furthest things you keep from your thought plane is the existence of scripts and plays involving racism unless there is a universal human lesson or story of redemption that emerges. Such stories are buried by news crews who sell sensationalism.

But this imbalance of Black Lives Matter (which many now see as a terrorist group having destroyed American livelihoods both black and white), this BLM imbalance of George Floyd and Justine Damond is noteworthy and instructive.

My view is I wouldn't expect BLM to react to the fatal senseless shooting of Justine Damond in the same manner as George Floyd. Their name alone reveals their bias.

And I wouldn't expect persons on the Justine Damond side of the spectrum to react to the killing of Justine Damond as BLM has for George Floyd.

Instead, the public reaction to Justine's murder was one of shock, anger, heartbreak but without the violence, Why is that? This is the question that reveals the distinction. And the answer has nothing to do with race. Let that last sentence sink in. It has to do with "never letting a crisis go to waste", it is a political arm of not only the democrat party but of worldwide socialist and communist groups. Enemies of America, foreign and domestic, fund and organize groups that cause mayhem when given the order.

The violence initiates with an order to Antifa and BLM, and others written into the script on occasion. The unprincipled inner city thugs chime in because they see an opportunity to get while the gettin's good, they loot and pillage because ain't no one in the way. But these inner city thugs don't plan, organize, fund and initiate the mayhem. They merely act in reaction.

The reason people did not create violence in reaction to the murder of Justine Damond by a black Somali immigrant badged as a Minneapolis police office is because such people are not a tool for destabilization, a tool of worldwide globalists and their US domestic surrogates who hate America. Justine's murder was not taken up in violence by the society at large because it was the wrong arrangement of triggers. It wasn't a script to further the false history of Anerica as a racist, facist society led by far right extremists following orders given by the second coming of Hitler with an orange face.

What is really needed here is to follow the money. For Americans to trust their government again, hearings, investigations, and prosecutions need to be executed against the ringleaders.

Can it be done against such ringleaders and high level participants?

Take Prince Andrew for example, he is going to be held accountable for his participation in crime. He's a Royal, someone most think is untouchable yet here he is under subpoena and apparently with an indictment to follow.

So it can be done.

Now where is the effort and order to out and hold accountable the money managers of Antifa, BLM? This is the story we need to be reading. We need to stop watching and reacting to the leftist corporate media and their story agenda and we need to follow the get-at-the-core prosecutions of those involved in this past week's enormous damage caused by violent riots, deliberately planned and funded.

Where is this story?

Arrests have been made of rioters and murderers. An arrest has been made in the murder of police captain David Dorn. Great! But where are the arrests of those ultimately responsible? Nowhere to be found.

Is our government incompetent?

Has anyone heard of FINCEN?

FINCEN can trace just about any money transaction in the world and connect all the dots. But do any of us have confidence that FINCEN will hunt down where the money came from? Even if they do, are any of us confident that our government will act on the evidence and bring justice?

Am surprised that a lar Left owebsite like the Guardian is raising this today. Would expect them to push it down the memory hole.

How is it that the Police Chief was fired after Damond was shot and killed but the current chief was not fired after Floyd was killed?

(Looking at pictures. She’s white. He’s black)

Ohh. Now I understand.

Justine would have been better off if the Minneapolis police department didn’t exist at the time.

It took eight months to charge the balck somalii cop for leaning over his partner to shoot a white woman who was reporting a crime.

It took them about eight minutes to charge the white cops even before any investigation took place.

It sounds like racism to this honky.

Actually, it took them several days to charge the cops.

Neither the eight months or the several days is acceptable, the latter especially due to the video evidence widely available.

In both cases, they should be treated the same as non-police - immediately arrested, charged and let the jury sort them out. There is no reason they should get any special treatment over anyone else.

The Guardian is relatively honest for leftists. So is The Intercept. The rest are completely dishonest.

What can be done? The subpoena is not enforceable.

“””””In both cases, they should be treated the same as non-police - immediately arrested, charged and let the jury sort them out. “””””””””

In most cases they would wait for the autopsy and tox report to come back before deciding that.

They just immediately decided it was murder and didn’t bother with anything else.

If cops came upon the scene shown in the video, with four citizens detaining a fifth in exactly the way shown in the video, they would NOT have waited for autopsy or tox, and you know it. All four of the citizens involved in detaining that person would have been instantly arrested, charged with something and thrown in jail pending bond.

You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Don’t pretend otherwise.

Attorneys representing Britain’s Prince Andrew say they’ve been assured by the U.S. Department of Justice that he is not a target in the investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein..

Not true at all and you know it.

It took them eight months to charge the somali cop with murder. Her leaned across his partner and shot her twice in the chest. That is a murder. He shot to kill and was in no danger.

Saint Floyd died of fentanyl overdose and a heart attack.
It will take quite a bit of work to get a conviction of murder form that.

It only takes on juror with some reasoning skills to stop it.

This racist muslim cop shot and killed this white women who posed no threat to him or his partner deserves the death penalty, but his jail sentence will probably be 1-2 years, or maybe less by commutation by the “WOKE” governor of the WOKE state of MN. If there was any rioting in the state of MN over this racist action by a muslim piece of garbage it never made the news on any station I watched. Time to wake up America, we are supposed to be governed by politician’s who take an oath to defend us against all enemies, “foreign or domestic”, and that means ANTIFA, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD and BLACK LIVES MATTER.

The arrest of the four cops was secondary in relation to the fact they were immediately fired. Immediately being the next day.

Why wait for facts? Officials were the judge, jury and executioner from the get go.
