The Somali-American council member who represents Minneapolis' 6th Ward is calling for change within the police department while proclaiming the shooting of Justine Damond "is not a Somali issue" but a policing issue.
Council Member Abdi Warsame took aim at the media and Facebook users who are calling Officer Mohamed Noor a Somali killer cop.
Warsame referred to those statements, along with the statement issued last week by former Congressman Michele Bachmann, in which Bachmann said Noor was "an affirmative-action hire by the hijab-wearing mayor of Minneapolis," as trash.
Warsame told reporters at a news conference Sunday that he has never met or even spoken to Noor. He did say he spoke recently to Noors family.
The councilman also took issue with the statement last week by then Chief Janee Harteau when she said this should not have happened.
I think everyone should have been given an opportunity," he said. "I mean we are a nation of laws. And I think without having the facts in front of us, we shouldn't have jumped the gun.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS found the majority on the City Council support a change in leadership at the police department. Some think that change extends to the mayor, who got an earful on Friday while announcing Harteaus resignation.
Warsame would not comment on the outgoing chief, and stopped short of supporting the incoming acting Chief Medaria Arradondo until he can prove hes an agent of change.
What I'm looking for is change -- is fundamental change, because we keep dealing with this over and over again, he said.
Nine of the 13 City Council members have responded to requests for statements.
All of them support a change in leadership at the department, but their responses vary on who should replace Harteau.
Some council members voiced their support for Arrandondo, while others feel the city needs an outside voice to lead the force.
Is he an American citizen?
It doesn’t matter, in Minnesota.
You’re screwed, Minneapolis. You can thank your progressive virtue signaling taken to its fatal extreme.......
Is too a Somali Mo’ issue. Is too, is too.
“while proclaiming the shooting of Justine Damond “is not a Somali issue””
That’s right. The issue is with the vile, muslim-ass-kissing, self-hating mayor and so called “police chief” that gave the position to an unqualified, affirmative action candidate.
The next Detroit
Letting these people in was a BIG mistake.
.
Minneapolis is lost.
More taqiyya.
“More islamist lies.”
Exactly! The mayor DID wear a hijab, and the killer cop WAS an affirmative action hire! Since when is telling the TRUTH, “trash”???
No, it’s a Somali issue.
Council Member Abdi WarsameAm I the only one reading that name as war same? Unintentional irony?
With that name, I'd rather know who he's an agent of. Mexico? Indonesia? Maybe Russia.
We know who Noor was working for: ISIS.
It’s a moslem issue. They cannot be trusted with a badge and a gun in America.
That's a rather strange choice of words coming from this fellow. Foot in mouth much?
Minneapolis native. On the job since ‘89.
The little arrogant impostors plan of planting groups of illegal muslims in middle America in the dead of night are producing fruit. Just for this he should be tried for treason

Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said they are unable to compel the officer to make a statement.
Why should he? He answers to a high authority, and he knows the media and left will have his back. The enemedia is already scripting the narrative.
They are defending a police officer.
Islam trumps all. Black Lives Matter, LGBT, feminism nothing beats Islam. Nothing.
I wonder how many meetings Noor has taken with terror-tied CAIR since the murder.
Why did Mayor Betsy Hodges laud Mohamed Noor, the Muslim police officer who shot dead Justine Damond in cold blood?
Because he was Muslim, and because he was from Somalia.
Why did the Washington Post report on the non-event of his joining the force? Because he was Muslim and because he was from Somalia.
Betsy Hodges ✔ @MayorHodges
I stand with our Somali community. We can't compound the tragedy of Justine Damond's death by turning to racism.

Washington Post warns of islamophobic backlash after Somali-Muslim cop guns down yoga instructor who called 911 for help
With body cameras off, Minneapolis Muslim police officer SHOT pajama-clad woman MULTIPLE TIMES and had 3 COMPLAINTS against him
The Somali-born Minnesota police officer alleged to have shot and killed an unarmed Australian woman on Saturday had been lauded by Minneapolis mayor and feted by the local community when he joined the force in 2015.
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 when Noor began serving the city. 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.
In fact, The Washington Post reported that community threw a party for Noor the first Somali-American officer to serve in the precinct. Minneapolis is home to one of the nations largest Somali communities.
He came to the United States at a young age and is thankful to have had so many opportunities, Thomas Plunkett, Noors attorney, said Monday.
For him, being a police officer is a calling.
