Mohamed Noor to be resentenced in death of 911 caller (Justine Damond)

A former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an unarmed woman after she called 911 to report hearing a possible rape happening behind her home will be sentenced on a lesser charge Thursday after his murder conviction was overturned in a case that drew global attention and was fraught with the issue of race.

Mohamed Noor was initially convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter in the July 2017 fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old dual U.S.-Australian citizen and yoga teacher who was engaged to be married.

Noor testified at his 2019 trial that he and his partner were driving slowly in an alley when a loud bang on his police SUV made him fear for their lives. He said he saw a woman appear at the partner's window and raise her right arm before he fired a shot from the passenger seat to stop what he thought was a threat.

He was sentenced to 12 1/2 years on the murder count and had been serving most of his time at an out-of-state facility. But last month, the Minnesota Supreme Court tossed out Noor's murder conviction and sentence, saying the third-degree murder statute didn't fit the facts of the case.

#15: "He was fast tracked through that program. He never should have been a cop."

The murderer checked all the hiring boxes: Somalian. Check. Negro. Check.

I wonder what his IQ is? I was just reading about another convicted murderer named Willie Smith who has an IQ of 70. He is supposed to be executed in Alabama this week.

All the liberals are saying he shouldn't be executed because of his IQ. Heck, that IQ is higher than the standard IQ of sub-Saharan Africa [Science Direct].

Too bad Killer Noor doesn't get put down too.

Yet another Somali killer, this time from the police force itself.

In 1959 the IQ threshold for mental retardation was lowered from 85 to 70 because more than half of all blacks fell below it.

Think Chauvin will get another bite at the apple?

No. If memory serves the court ruled that his actions didn't meet the 'depraved indifference' requirement for third degree murder. Chauvin's actions are on tape.

I am confused. Was the conviction overturned? I thought the conviction stands but the court was ordered to re-sentance.

I believe the third degree murder conviction was tossed. The manslaughter conviction still stands. His sentence will be reduced as a result.

WIKI.......The funding of lucrative Somali piracy operations is now structured in a stock exchange, with investors buying and selling shares in upcoming attacks in a bourse in Harardhere.

Pirates say ransom money is paid in large-denomination US dollar bills.

It is delivered to them in burlap sacks which are either dropped from helicopters or cased in waterproof suitcases loaded onto tiny skiffs.

To authenticate the banknotes, pirates use currency-counting machines, the same technology used at foreign exchange bureaus worldwide. According to one pirate, these machines are, in turn, purchased from business connections in Dubai, Djibouti, and other areas.

Hostages seized by the pirates usually have to wait 45 days or more for the ships’ owners to pay the ransom and secure their release.[78]

In 2008, there were also allegations that the pirates received assistance from some members of the Somali diaspora. Somali expatriates, including some members of the Somali community in Canada, reputedly offered funds, equipment and information.[79]

According to the head of the UN’s counter-piracy division, Colonel John Steed, the Al-Shabaab group in 2011 increasingly sought to cooperate with the pirate gangs in the face of dwindling funds and resources for their own activities.[80] Steed, however, acknowledged that he had no definite proof of operational ties between the pirates and the Islamist militants.

Detained pirates also indicated to UNODC officials that some measure of cooperation with Al-Shabaab militants was necessary, as they have increasingly launched maritime raids from areas in southern Somalia controlled by the insurgent outfit. Al-Shabaab members have also extorted the pirates, demanding protection money from them and forcing seized pirate gang leaders in Harardhere to hand over 20% of future ransom proceeds.[81] It has been suggested that al-Qaeda have received funding from pirate operations.

A maritime intelligence source told CBS News that it was “’inconceivable’ to Western intelligence agencies that al Qaeda would not be getting some financial reward from the successful hijackings”.

They go on to express concern about this funding link being able to keep the group satisfied as piracy gains more publicity and higher ransoms.[82]

If He’s released, someone should drop him as soon as he walks free.

Black cops can do no wrong now. Even partially black, like this twisted, woman-hating pervert.

Unless they shoot a “Minority” then cops have always been able to get away with murder by claiming they feared for their lives.

But last month, the Minnesota Supreme Court tossed out Noor's murder conviction and sentence, saying the third-degree murder statute didn't fit the facts of the case.

I don't know... the facts of the case are very straightforward. He should have gotten second degree murder.
