First female Somali police liaison in city inspires criticism and praise
Pioneer Press ^ | 9-9-14 | John M. Glionna

At 22, Kadra Mohamed is a civilian employee of the police department, a community liaison officer making a courtesy call to a merchant, a time-tested neighborhood policing method. Still, this visit -- and many she makes -- breaks new ground.

In March, the St. Paul Police Department hired Mohamed, its first female Somali community liaison officer, a move designed to improve the sometimes tense relations with 80,000 Somali-Americans in the Twin Cities -- more than half of them in St. Paul -- the nation's largest Somali community.

Each time she wears her crisp blue police department uniform with its thick black leather belt and handcuffs, the 5-foot-1 Mohamed also dons her hijab, the traditional head scarf worn in public by many Muslim women. The department modified her hijab with metal snaps that allow it to come off in a scuffle.

I fear she will be targeted and murdered soon - by a misogynist Somali.

Wait.. These people CAME HERE, from shit hole country’s and it is our responsibility to accommodate them? NONSENSE. I they did not try to bring the shit hole country they left along with them, there would be no tension. You are here this is America, you came here for a reason, now accept it.......

Which would STILL be a violation of the religion. The death cult of islam IS NOT compatible with liberty and freedom.

I don’t really care and am not concerned with improving relations, tense or otherwise, Somalis or anyone else that comes over here. They adapt to us, not the other way. At least that was the way it was when I was younger, before political correctness ruled.

This will not end well for the infidels, but they will find this out for themselves soon enough.

She is 5’1” tall, almost as tall as the police car. If she comes up against a Michael Brown 6’4” 280 pounds. Do you think she is gonna use her nightstick on him?

Well as things heat up in Islamism's jihad against us..

That "officer" is one small step for an imam but it's one giant step toward internment for 'em.

Don't bring your Islamist sharia crap to America and expect to force us to accept it. Go home!

One can say he is following Muhammad’s example in killing unbelievers with the sword of men, but not that of the Lord Jesus.
