quote:

The Minneapolis police officer who mistakenly shot and killed an Australian woman in July was behind bars Tuesday and charged with third-degree murder.

Officer Mohamed Noor was also charged with second-degree manslaughter in connection with the death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, according to records from the Hennepin County Jail. It was not clear whether Noor turned himself in or was arrested on a warrant, but Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman was expected to reveal more details later Tuesday. Freeman had previously said they did not have probable cause to charge Noor for fatally shooting the 40-year-old expat after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home.

"I have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, the moment he shot the gun he feared for his life, and he used force because he thought he was gonna be killed,� Freeman told activists in a videotaped exchange. �But he won�t answer my questions, because he doesn't have to, OK? We all have Fifth Amendment rights, and I respect that." "And let me just say, it's not my fault," Freeman said in the video. "If it isn't my fault, who didn't do their jobs? ... Investigators � and they don't work for me. And they haven't done their job." The county attorney's office said in a statement to NBC News at the time: "We are working diligently on the case to complete the investigation as soon as possible. Beyond that, we cannot comment at this time."

But on Dec. 18, Freeman apologized for his comments, calling them �ill-advised� and said he was not aware he was being recorded. Noor has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting. His fate was left to prosecutors rather than to a grand jury after several high-profile police shootings in the area � and after the grand jury process was criticized as unfair because it rarely results in police officers being charged with crimes.

Damond�s maiden name was Ruszczyk but she had already started using her fianc� Don Damond�s last name. A life coach and motivational speaker who hailed from Sydney, Damond�s deadly encounter with Noor happened on July 15 when she approached the SUV that Noor and his partner Officer Matthew Harrity were driving in. Harrity, who was at the wheel, said he was startled by a loud noise just before Damond approached the open driver�s side window and that Noor fired from the passenger seat, striking the woman. Both officers were wearing body cameras, but they were turned off. So were the headlights of their vehicle. In the aftermath, Freeman said the shooting of Damond �didn�t have to happen, it shouldn�t have happened,� the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported.

Don Damond said he hoped Freeman would �act swiftly to review the findings and determine the charges.� Meanwhile, Michele Bachmann, a former Republican congresswoman who represented the Minneapolis exurbs, called Noor � one of the first Somali-American police officers on the force � an �affirmative action hire by the hijab-wearing mayor of Minneapolis.� Bachmann�s remark was criticized as racist by local Somali community leaders and Minneapolis city leaders. Also, Minneapolis police officers removed a memorial created by a white nationalist group for Damond that was placed outside the police headquarters.

So, like, good a cop finially being held accountable for killing a person. But at the same time :smith:

of course America, this is the one we make a stand on. explicitly making it a race issue. Where the gently caress is blue lives matter? The darkest timeline.

the cop that was sitting in the passenger seat and pointed his gun across the driving cops face to kill the lady opening the door to her house?
"I have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, the moment he shot the gun he feared for his life, and he used force because he thought he was gonna be killed,�

good he should burn

the only thing controversial about any of this (other than the incident itself) was how many people and groups defended him

Any cop who kills anyone for anything other than life threatening danger should be in prison for murder or put to death as a jury sees fit. Blue lives matter rarely pops up in situations where the cop is doubtlessly a murderer.

Also it's really obvious that Michele Bachmann is a racist. Half the poo poo she says makes anyone who leans even slightly to the right look insane by association.

Same thing happened with Peter Liang, not to say the guy shouldn't suffer any penalties but it's naive to think when there are so many obvious unpunished incidents of police abuse that coincidentally the not white dudes are ones to actually suffer consequences. You'd think they could throw a skinhead under the bus or something if they wanna show that they're cracking down.

its such a strange murder that i feel like the cop might seriously just be really really really stupid. in which case police hiring policies pick up whatever blame doesnt go to him

like it wasnt a tense moment that required a spur of the moment response at all. just "hmmmm what i do in this situation? ...i know!" *shoots in direction of noise*

If only the OP knew how to use hyphens.

To be fair, though, very few people know how to use hyphens.

gently caress the police comin' straight from the underground
A young nigga got it bad 'cause I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority

Oh wait, the other guy is brown too? Problematic
