"Washington Post Warns Of “Islamophobic” “backlash” After Somali-Muslim Cop Guns Down Yoga Instructor Who Called 911 For Help"

It’s a win/win for the Muslim world every time there is jihad carnage. Jihad terror results in more sharia enforcement.

After every heinous Muslim attack (including Septemenr 11th), the knee-jerk response by media and cultural elites is a nonexistent “fear of reprisal” and cries of “islamophobic” tweets that offend Muslim hair-trigger sensibilities. Never does the Muslim world self-reflect. Never do Muslim leaders say, we have a problem, this is evil and we have to be good. We must expunge Islamic texts that exhort to holy war and hate.

No, always, it’s the same thing. Blame the victims.

“Already, hateful posts criticizing Islam and sharia law are filling social media in response to the police shooting.”

Tell it to the dead in the cause of Islam.

"After Minneapolis Officer In Police Shooting Is Named, Somali Community Braces For Backlash"

By Katie Mettler, Washington Post

When Mohamed Noor joined the Minneapolis police force and was assigned to patrol the city’s southwest corner, the Somali community there — the nation’s largest — threw a party for him to celebrate.

He was the first Somali American officer to serve in Minneapolis’s fifth precinct and one of fewer than a dozen Somali American officers in the department. His presence on the squad brought Somali activists some pride and reassurance at a time of Islamophobia in America and nationwide racial tension stoked in part by shootings of black people by white police officers.

Now that same Somali community is bracing for a backlash against Noor that has already begun.

On Monday, multiple media outlets named Noor as the officer who fatally shot an unarmed Australian woman in the city’s popular Fulton neighborhood over the weekend, an incident that has grabbed global attention and thrust Minneapolis into yet another uproar over police violence.

Officials have not publicly confirmed the officer’s name.

Tom Plunkett, an attorney who said he to represent Noor, said in a statement that the officer “extends his condolences” to those mourning 40-year-old Justine Damond’s death and “takes their loss seriously.”

“We would like to say more, and will in the future,” Plunkett said. “At this time, however, there are several investigations ongoing and Officer Noor wants to respect the privacy to the family and asks the same in return during this difficult period.”

Although Plunkett did not respond to requests to explicitly confirm that Noor fired the shot that killed Damond, several Somali leaders in Minneapolis said in interviews with The Washington Post that they were aware of the officer’s involvement.

“There is no question that he is the officer,” Somali activist Omar Jamal told The Post. “We knew this right after the shooting, but we didn’t want to release the name.”

The Minneapolis Police Federation declined to comment and referred questions to Noor’s attorney. A spokesman for the Minneapolis Police Department directed inquiries to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the agency investigating the shooting, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday morning.

Noor has only to say he felt threatened, and perhaps he did, however unjustifiably. But that has become the standard for whether a shooting/killing by a cop is justified.

someone here said that he failed the entrance test to be a policeman FOUR times ...

I’ve read where he used TWO guns and/or he fired several times...

Now Ive read that his partner who was driving was startled by a noise so HE fired his gun...HUH ???

Ive read the gun went off accidently...(Rolls eyes)

and off course the po boy wants people to leave him alone “his privacy”

About the cameras on the policemen...BOTH were off at the time..

is it possible that they were on and the policemen deleted the video ??? can they do that with those cameras...

the Islamic because he wanted to hide his crime ...the white American because he felt obligated and manipulated to help the po wee immigrant boy...

since the policies covering the new cameras are so defined why would they one or both have their cameras on before they got to the alley...they were going on a call for a possible dangerous incident ..according to the mayor and the (three star general) police chief they had been thoroughly schooled to use the cameras...

Moslums are murdering each other all over the middle east. They are also murdering non moslums wherever they can. But it's the moslum people who are the victims according to the morons at the post. Those poor moslums just can't stop killing people.

Headline in today’s Daily Telegraph

Family of US cop Mohamed Noor say officer mistakenly shot Justine Damond

“THE family of Justine Damond’s killer have declared his innocence, saying Mohamed Noor had mistakenly shot her dead.

“We feel so bad about this, we are traumatised ourselves. It’s so unfortunate,” a family member said.

“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.”

It's rare to see a discussion about IQ. Given the present PC culture, this should be a flashing light indicating truth is in danger of being revealed.

Anyway, you can further analyze IQ along with impulse control and propensity towards violent behavior to construct a two-dimensional matrix:

Intelligence - high / low

Sociability - high/low

If you evenly divided the global population into these 4 quadrants (big assumption, but useful for a preliminary examination), it would leave you with around 25% in the low IQ, high violence sector.

Another point to consider is that the nake ape still competes over scarce resources, including favorable weather & environment. That means the nicest, best zones (ie Europe, N America, Japan, AU, SA, etc) are controlled by the highly intelligent who developed the most effective weaponry and claimed the areas for themselves.

The flip side, of course, is that the world's very worst areas to live are inhabited by low IQ, highly violent animals. Now, when you combine those with both a low IQ and a high degree of violence, you get a culture that is both depressing and savage. If you found yourself in one of those places without possible recourse, to which avenue would you gravitate?

Why, wouldn't it be a violent, thug based theology promising the world's losers a huge payoff - both here and an afterlife? This is Islam; nothing more than a manifestation of a promise to those who are both stupid and dangerous.

The mayor is Betsy Hodges. She’s been praising Mohammad since he joined the force. She can’t be very bright. Read her “insane” statement about Muslims:

Mohammad is still walking around free and on full pay ! ! Why? I think we should call and ask her.

So far there’s nothing that would lead to a conviction or even charges for that matter.

People on FR are calling for an execution without trial or even a complete investigation and you’re defending them.

In India, you have the exact same problem with Muslims in the police. Where this road ends is totally corrupt police who themselves rape non-muslim women.

African Somalis are being brought into the USA as “refugees”. This is the worst mistake a country can make. I have already personally observed their criminal culture just two weeks ago here in California where there is a huge coverup going on. Real, real trouble, and things becoming much more dangerous. We are told of Somalis brought in and “settled” in certain areas of the United States, but it was much more wide-spread than reported under Obama and they are here in California as well, not just Minnesota et all.

I will NOT be surprised if the real story here is, the Somali “officer” himself either alone or with the help of some other Somali “officer” was the one raping someone in that alley/street, the Australian gal then comes down and he or with the help of the other shoots her.

Their cameras were off. On purpose.

The MSM, like the washington post, executes endless information warfare against the people of the United States just like this article. They truly are an enemy of the nation.

As they reached West 51st Street, Officer Harrity indicated that he was startled by a loud sound near the squad. Immediately afterward Ruszczyk approached the driver’s side window of the squad. Harrity indicated that Officer Noor discharged his weapon, striking Ruszczyk through the open driver’s side window.

Now he shot thru the window? It was thru the door earlier. Where did the other bullets go? All thru the window?

I am beginning to wonder if the police were even in the car at all. What exactly is officer Harrity's nationality?

Yeah, it’s just to setup the following narrative if any backlash happens -> “far right extremism is the real problem”. It’s all about undermining anything Judeo-Christian, minimize any problem with Islam and distort everything about our traditional values.

Dear Washington Post,

You'd better stop worrying about Islamic Backlash, and start worrying about News Propaganda organ FRONTlash.

Love,

Laz
