FULL TITLE: Minnesota cop gets 12 years in prison for shooting dead innocent Australian yoga instructor who called 911 about a disturbance outside her home
A former Minneapolis police officer was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison this morning for the fatal shooting of an unarmed Australian-American yoga teacher after she had called police to report a possible sexual assault.
Mohamed Noor, 33, was convicted on April 30 of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for the 2017 killing 40-year-old Justine Ruszczyk Damond outside her home near Minneapolis.
Noor was acquitted of a more serious charge of second-degree intentional murder.
Although Noor's lawyers had requested that his sentence be no longer than a year and a day in prison, Minnesota District Judge Kathryn Quaintance imposed a sentence that was in line with what prosecutors had requested.

Why should cops get a pass?
You shoot someone when you shouldn’t, your ass should go to jail. Don’t like getting second-guessed? Don’t take the job.
If you carry a firearm, particularly under the authority of the State, you have forfeited the right to screw-up.
So sad.
Should have gotten the electric chair.
Get a freekin rope!
Who forced his hiring and promotion? That person should be in jail to.
I remember reading about that, that some schmuck politician wanted to gain points by hiring this guy and moving him quickly into the ranks of armed and dangerous police officers.
Editor’s day off apparently.
I prefer shooting them after they’re dead, the sentence is lighter.
I don't see this as "cold blood" at all. If anything it was "hot blood". He was overly excited and panicked because he was not police material in the first place.
I would like to think the inmate in prison will exact the proper punishment for this slime, but I don’t know any more.
Glad someone else noticed that. It confused me almost as much as “reporting a possible sexual assault”. Either it is or it isn’t.
Did you hear this low IQ tard fake sobbing at sentencing?
Filthy bastard.
As a side note, didn’t he reached across in front of his partner and pull the trigger in the car.
His hearing is Fkd.
Enjoy prison MOlly.
He’ll be passed around; traded for cigarettes.
[How is it illegal to shoot someone who is already dead?]
Let’s say you’re already dead and I shoot you. /Jerry to George
You can’t over-die. You can’t over-dry.
Good thing he wasn’t a civilian. He would have gotten 45-to-life.
“Did this guy have a history or was it a one time screw up?”

During training there were 2 recommendations by separate professionals that said there were issues with his ‘thinking.’
Anyway, should have gotten 25 years, it was an intentional murder.
Yes, ex-police officers usually do so well in a prison general population.
More importantly , the killing led to the resignation of the citys police chief, Janeé Harteau, a lesbian diverity pick, stepped down in July 2017 at the request of the mayor.
No wonder it took so long for Damand's famil to get justice---lookit these pitiful dumbed-down diversity
morons-----the lesbian police chief and her successor----brown, of course.
Travesty of Justice. It should have been LIFE at a minimum.
The appeals haven’t started.
Would have made a good defense....except they would have had to admit to gross incompetence
for putting the mental defective Somali on the police force.
Why shoot the dead ones? -- "Man shoots dead robber" - South African headline
Crash blossoms -- "Violinist linked to JAL crash blossoms"
AND, it's a WORLDWIDE phenomena...
