[Officer Mohamed Noor, who shot Ms Damond in the abdomen in an upmarket neighbourhood of the city, has refused to be interviewed by investigators, as is his legal right.]
His CAIR attorney is en route.
“lawyer for the family of an Australian woman shot dead by police in Minneapolis says suggestions officers feared an ambush were “ludicrous”.”
Those ambushes happen all the time.
Lawyer us a lib, clearly.
Well if you thought there was a gun, but there wasn’t a gun, then you committed murder.
Hook ‘em and book ‘em.
She was in her pajamas and ergo a sexual threat to the Muslim ergo she had to face Sharia justice
Oh right. The cops suspected an ambush so they turned their body cameras off. Got it.
Minneapolis PD is the most unprofessional that I have dealt with. They make the Keystone Cops and Barney Fife look good.
IIRC, the shooter was in the passenger seat and shot across the car through the open window on the driver’s side. Police cars not being all that large these days, that would suggest that the muzzle was right in front of the face of the driver. I wonder if his (or her) hearing has returned. Had to be a rude surprise.
If it was an upmarket neighborhood then that makes it more likely the scene of the shooting was reasonably well lit. At least enough to recognize a woman in her pajamas. As I recall the initial call to the police was for a possible sexual assault so this could have easily been the victim rather than the caller, as far as the cops knew. They should have been on the lookout for a possible sexual assault victim. A woman running toward them in pajamas would certainly fit that description.
I don’t believe for a second that the Noor guy thought it was an ambush.
Obviously the left is going to do all they can to blame the dead woman and to charge her with threatening the life of an armed cop seated in a car with another cop.
So the other cop is covering for his partner. Great.
Bttt.

If the town chose a Somali applicant over an otherwise better qualified applicant, then they chose a political solution over public safety, and that action likely led to the death of this citizen.
Ludicrous, but could be true?
Interesting that none of the headlines in this particular police-involved shooting mention the race of the cop or the citizen that was shot. Perhaps I missed it, but I haven’t seen any “black cop shoots unarmed white woman” headlines from any of the mainstream media outlets. Doesn’t fit the narrative.
He added: “She obviously wasn’t armed, was not a threat to anyone, and nor could she have reasonably been perceived to be.”

It’s obvious in hindsight, but probably not in the actual conditions. But he’s doing what a lawyer does.
The question is whether his partner will talk or if the Blue veil of silence has fallen over him already.
The driver copy Harrity now has a lawyer too. Why?
Sharia in action. More to come...
Somalis in Minneapolis; what a great idea !
