Political correctness put her in the way of a “nervous, jumpy” Muslim cop who took her life.
A forty-year-old Australian woman named Justine Damond called 911 in Minneapolis Saturday night to report what she thought might be a rape; when police arrived, she approached the police car, and a Minneapolis police officer named Mohamed Noor shot her dead. Since then, Noor has refused to be interviewed by investigators, but has spoken to friends about what happened and why. The more Noor and those who know him have spoken, the more it becomes clear: Justine Damond was a casualty of “Islamophobia.”
Mohamed Noor is a Somali Muslim. He was the first Somali Muslim on the Minneapolis police force. In 2016, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges expressed her excitement about that fact: “I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department. Officer Noor has been assigned to the 5th Precinct, where his arrival has been highly celebrated, particularly by the Somali community in and around Karmel Mall.”
Hodges wasn’t excited because Mohamed Noor had the skills necessary to become a fine police officer. She was only excited because he represented a religious and ethnic that she was anxious to court. And it is increasingly clear, as we learn about Mohamed Noor’s nervousness and jumpiness and lack of respect for women, and from his own account of events that he relayed to friends (that he was “startled” and reacted by opening fire), that Mohamed Noor was not cut out to be a policeman. He did not have the temperament for it, and if he hadn’t killed Justine Damond, he would likely have done something similar at some point.
So why was he on the force at all? Because he was the first Somali Muslim on the Minneapolis police force. He was a symbol of our glorious multicultural mosaic. He was a rebuke to “Islamophobes” and proof that what they say is false. Minneapolis authorities placed a great deal of faith in Mohamed Noor. He was for them the triumph of diversity, the victory of their worldview. But he has let them down.
Mohamed Noor is not a jihad terrorist. This was not a jihad attack. He is just a trigger-happy, panicky, reckless individual who held his job not because he was fit for it, but because of what he symbolized. And in the wake of his failure, Minneapolis multiculturalists aren’t about to reconsider their religion. On the contrary, they are doubling down. Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges has immediately recognized — as authorities do everywhere after jihad attacks — that the real victims are not those who were killed or wounded, but the Muslim community. She should have issued a statement saying that she recognized that Mohamed Noor was not hired because he was competent, but because he was a Somali Muslim, and that she sees now that Leftist social engineering on the police force costs lives. She should have promised that from now on, police officers will be hired based on their fitness for the job, not their religion or ethnicity.

To the Somali community: I want you to know that you are a valued and appreciated part of Minneapolis. I stand with you and support you. The strength and beauty of the Somali and East African communities are a vital part of what makes Minneapolis so strong and beautiful. I am grateful to be your neighbor.
This week a Somali police officer, Officer Mohamed Noor, shot and killed a woman under circumstances we don’t yet comprehend. Justine Damond’s death was tragic and awful for everyone. And I want to be very clear that Officer Noor, a fully trained officer in the Minneapolis Police Department, won’t be treated differently than any other officer.
Justine’s death is a tragedy for our city. We cannot compound that tragedy by turning to racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia. It is unjust and ridiculous to assert that an entire community be held responsible for the actions of one person. That will not be tolerated in Minneapolis. If you are experiencing discrimination, you can file a complaint at http://www.minneapolismn.gov/civil…/discrimination-complaint
Mayor Hodges is reassuring Muslims and warning against “Islamophobia,” as if a non-Muslim police officer had shot an unarmed Muslim woman. But that’s not what happened. And in issuing this warning, Hodges is only reinforcing the false premises that led to the killing of Justine Damond in the first place: the idea that Muslims are a victimized, persecuted community that needs special consideration, such that an incompetent Muslim police officer had to be hired. This just ensures that in the future, there will be more Justine Damonds.

Thats the point isn’t it? Can’t they tell the difference between the potential for threat from a rap music blacked out car and a pajama clad babe who had called for help? Apparently not in Minneapolis.
She is just as guilty.
Just about every day We the People learn of yet another reason to not allow Moslem immigrants to come to America!
INSANITY!
We, by continuing the insane practice of importing people who NEVER will consider America their home and NEVER will become Americans, have signed our own death warrants!
Round all of them up, I say, and send them back to the shithole countries they came FRom before they transform America into a shithole country!
And, while we are at it, we’d best NEVER! EVER! Elect another LIEberal to public office!
Minneapolis, the San Francisco of the Midwest.
Interesting...
A good analogy
Thats like rattlesnake phobia or democrat phobia. Not unreasonable at all...in fact prudent!
Maybe the leftists are relying on the Soviet fox experiment to domesticate the muslims over a few generations..
Only problem is that they are not weeding out the bad 99%...
Maybe she had her dog with her.
Is Noor a US citizen? or an illegal “immigrant”? If the latter, how in the H&LL does he qualify for police officer?
“
Here’s another interesting story that isn’t getting much ink. Youthful muzzies have been threatening neighborhood residents in Minneapolis.”
Utterly useless government and police. Hope the homeowners were democrats.
Come to my house and meet white man’s smokepole...heap bad medicine and a lot of hungry crows around here.
He came here from Somalia “when he was young” supposedly 14...
but theres no mention of when he or his parents ever became citizens...hes the oldest of 10 children...
So why was he on the force at all? Because he was the first Somali Muslim on the Minneapolis police force. He was a symbol of our glorious multicultural mosaic.
Each believes the other to be the subservient partner. Liberals are using muzzies, muzzies are using liberals. Each figures to end up on top once western civilization is erased.
But, but... there were these signs in their yards:
It will interesting to see the lawsuit that follows. It's possible Noor's test scores and background check will become public. That should shock everyone who has the idea that affirmative action is good for society.
They would need to do like the Russians did with foxes, and select the most docile wolves from successive generations, and then maybe a few decades down the line they would get a “wolf” that could be domesticated. However, they would also be introducing physical changes through that breeding process and they would basically end up with a dog instead of a wolf.
“Then why are you?”
100% of the blame belongs to Mohamed Noor. Bonus blame goes to the PC idiots who made him a police officer on armed patrol. Justine Damond has no share of “blame” whatsoever. Choices people make increase the odds for becoming a victim; that does not reduce the culpability of the victimizer. I would prefer for people to plan in advance on how to respond to emergencies so as to reduce the odds they will be harmed.
Ms. Damond had already conveyed her useful information over the phone. The police needed to proceed to the alley to look for the assault victim (who might need immediate medical aid) and assailant(s)without further delay, not stop for a chit-chat and take a report.
What TV programs, whose bread and butter is visual excitement, and police might “want” is not necessarily in your interest, or even useful. Ms. Damond seems to have followed the “LIVE PD” pattern you advocate, with the worst possible results.
Holy crap. You mean there’s nine more like him somewhere?
Betcha, there’s NO documentation on this creep - anywhere. Just like U NO WHO...
