“I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department,” Mayor Betsy Hodges wrote in a Facebook post last year. “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.”
Noor, 31, joined the police department two years ago

These Somali folks are just the latest wave of immigrants. The others were trouble too. I recall stories of my grandparents being the subject of numerous police raids as new immigrants to Minneapolis.
“No officer - the neighbors complain all the time that we have dead bodies in our basement. Its just the lutefisk.”
