“The recent incidents do not reflect the training and procedures we’ve developed as a Department. Despite the MPD’s many accomplishments under my leadership over these years and my love for the City, I have to put the communities we serve first. I’ve decided I am willing to step aside to let a fresh set of leadership eyes see what more can be done for the MPD to be the very best it can be.”
Good, but unless the “fresh set of leadership eyes” discards the whole idea of “Islamophobia” that assumes Muslims are victims of widespread harassment and discrimination, and in need of special consideration that leads to “nervous,” “jumpy” Muslim police officers being hired and kept on the force despite complaints against them, the new boss will be the same as the old boss. Justine Damond was killed by the culture of “Islamophobia.” But no one, in Minneapolis or anywhere else, is reexamining that.
“Minneapolis police chief resigns in wake of fatal shooting of bride-to-be,” by Tara Fowler, Catherine Thorbecke, and Julia Jacobo, ABC News, July 21, 2017:
Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau announced that she is resigning in the wake of the officer-involved shooting of an Australian bride-to-be.
“[L]ast Saturday’s tragedy, as well as some other recent incidents, have caused me to engage in deep reflection,” Harteau said in part in a statement posted on the police department’s Facebook page.
She continued: “The recent incidents do not reflect the training and procedures we’ve developed as a Department. Despite the MPD’s many accomplishments under my leadership over these years and my love for the City, I have to put the communities we serve first. I’ve decided I am willing to step aside to let a fresh set of leadership eyes see what more can be done for the MPD to be the very best it can be.”
Justine Ruszczyk, 40, who went by her fiancé Don Damond’s last name, was killed by a police officer on July 15 after she called 911 to report what she believed was a sexual assault occurring near her home.
Authorities said officers Matthew Harrity and Mohammed Noor responded to Ruszczyk’s 911 call, but never found a suspect. They were startled by a loud noise and then Ruszczyk approached the driver’s side of the car and Noor, who was on the passenger side, fired his gun through the open driver’s side window, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Harrity’s attorney, Fred Bruno, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that it was “certainly reasonable” for the police officers to assume they could be the target of an ambush.
Noor has not made any statements to investigators and has declined to be interviewed, according to Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Both officers have been placed on standard paid administrative leave pending the investigation. Ruszczyk’s death has been ruled a homicide.
Police have launched an internal affairs review of the officers’ use of force….

Premium activities include attending the mosque of your choice, wrapping yourself in a burkha, and hugging the women there, emulating Justin Trudeau, who is paying out tens millions to muslim terrorists who had their rights violated after they killed US soldiers!
Setting up an islamophobia number too. Excellent mayor, if you have a personal death wish.

As an retired LEO for over 44 years, I totally agree with you. The noise is just an excuse for their jumpy nervous state of mind. Noise does not justify the shooting of any person. They’re in trouble and the officer knows it, so he has explain it away in anyway he can. It’s not gonna fly. He may not be charged but the City will end up paying at least 3 million in damages, mark my words.

We all have seen that DIVERSITY CANDIDATES are given a ‘handicap’ of many points on their qualifying tests. Such handicaps allow them to JUMP or LEAP over other more qualified candidates and give the IMPRESSION that the DIVERSITY CANDIDATES have competed FAIRLY with MORE COMPETENT, PREPARED and MORE INTELLIGENT candidates.
So there it is…it’s called preferential hiring or whatever. Minnealpolis is obviously in on this foolish, ill-advised method of candidate selection.
PREFERENTIAL HIRING puts the public at risk and should be stopped.

Speaking of which, I just ran across a disingenuous ad meant to fight Islamophobia and raise awareness: https://youtu.be/85EDXJ7eIdY
This ad is particularly odious in the way it works overtime to associate islamophobia with racism…
The scene opens with a kid telling off-colour jokes, and he turns toward the black kid in class as he starts into the next one, “What do you call a Muslim flying a plane?” Thinking fast, a straight faced kid jumps in before the joker can fire off the punchline. “A pilot”, he says. With that, the black kid slaps his hand with relief and says “Thank you”. A voice narrates “Racism stops when we break the behaviour”.
What I find so insidious about the ad is the use of a black kid to confuse the situation. Of course he could be the target of racism – in other circumstances anyhow. And racism is particularly vile, because a person has no choice over the colour of their skin. However, in this vignette the black kid is supposedly a Muslim, and Muslim is a religion, not a skin colour. People who would never commit a racist act may very well make jokes about Muslims. That is not racism. That is somebody who doesn’t think much of the religion Muslims practise.
The video has a link to a web page chock full of similar BS. Little video shorts distancing Muslims from the acts of Muslims who commit terrorism. Also showing clips of things in the media the site considers islamophobic, like for example the Muslim Reform Movement. Huh? The page also invites you to “take the pledge”. http://breakthebehaviour.ca/
I pledge to be an advocate for the values of Break the Behaviour, and to uphold its vision for a more inclusive, and racism-free Ontario.
I will reject Islamophobia and racism in all its forms, and pledge to help take a stand wherever and whenever I encounter it.
I understand that Ontario is a place where everybody deserves to feel at home, and will never undermine the dignity of my fellow Ontarians. Instead, I will commit myself to working to overcome inequality and achieving shared prosperity.
Unfortunately, neither the video mentioned above nor the web site allow comments or I would have set them straight.

According to AP, the mayor asked her to resign as chief, because she appointed someone somewhere without telling the mayor first. “An inspector in a critical precinct.” Whatever that means. “Hodges was angry over the lack of notice about the appointment.”
Glad, so glad, not to be living there.
Dwayne Austin says
Mayor Betsy Hodges said Saturday she strongly believes Lt. John Delmonico is the wrong person to lead the North Side’s Fourth Precinct, and insisted that Chief Janeé Harteau deliberately failed to give her more notice on the controversial appointment.
John Delmonico is the central figure in ‘Pointergate’, which was an incident in which Delmonico, then the head of the police union, accused the mayor of flashing gang signs in a photograph with a man named Navell Gordon. The episode attracted widespread derision and angered many black North Siders.

Billy says
It is not a matter of white or black, it’s the problem with Muslims and particularly African Muslims.
African Muslims seem to be even more violent and likely to rape western women than middle eastern Muslims, although there isn’t a lot of difference.
It’s about time we ignored the Muslim race card, as Islamism is not a race/nationality it’s an archaic murder and rape machine that doesn’t respect women and children.It is just about the worst religion in the world, which tends to be followed by uneducated retards and paedophiles.
By following the Muslim faith, you are automatically a paedophile by definition, as the religion preaches that a man can marry an 8yr old girl or have sex with any child (boy or girl) of any age, even if it’s their own children/grand children.
To conclude, the religion should be banned from all of western society and if you class this as racist you are another one of the PC brigade that has their head in the clouds.
Jedothek says
I agree with Robert’s comment, of course, and add: the situation is maddening: when I first saw the item in my inbox I thought it meant that the chief was resigning in protest over the politically correct policy that resulted in the hiring and retention of the incompetent officer Noor
– But now I see that it more likely means that the mayor is scapegoating Harteau in order to prevent a public examination of bad policy and Noor’s incompetence.

Any thinking person – or should I say *clearly* thinking person – knows that race is no indicator of likely behaviour.

From this article: http://www.womenspress.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=4428
When Janeé Harteau became Chief Harteau in 2012, she achieved three milestones: first female, first lesbian and first Native American to lead the Minneapolis police force.
She is quoted as saying: “I feel like people who have generally had minority class status identify with me and feel this helps them, even if we are not in the same ethnicity [or gender]. That helps build public trust and build diversity. It’s opened the door, and now we have to have mechanisms in place for people to walk through.”
Sven Oljaski says
You see, when the Wanka factory closed down, because the productivity of the workers went to 0 as they only wanted to sing and dance and get paid for the day, they didn’t have any place to go. So they went to MSP and decided to take positions away from qualified and hard working people. They handed the keys to the city over to this Oompa Loompa lady and she in turn hired some Skinny Pirate as a “look at me and how diverse and wonderful I am” publicity stunt. This infection of human culture only serves one end: the NWO population control measure.

These criticisms are all well and good. But while everyone here is lamenting that no one will acknowledge the reality that political correctness and affirmative action gives us these Muslim officers, we’re also now acknowledging reality.

Ah–another tool claiming that the problem is allowing female police. Why don’t you just convert to Islam now–pious Muslims everywhere agree with you that no woman should be allowed in uniform–or out on the street without a Mehram, in fact.
If a woman–or anyone else–is hired purely as a sop to “political correctness”, this is suicidal madness.
But there are also female officers who have saved victims from Jihad. Not that “Truth 101” cares about such things.
Truth 101 says
Sorry, Graven, but you don’t get it. First, it’s as clear as day that this stupid woman is an affirmative-action hire. Second, do you know that standards were lowered — based on “disparate impact” theory and court rulings — to get women on police forces?
Third, it makes no difference if there are female officers who’ve saved people from terrorists. There are also MUSLIMS who’ve saved people from terrorists.
Fourth, there’s a heck of a lot of daylight between being a Muslim and being a modernist egalitarian with flowers in his hair. People in the Christian world had no trouble understanding why women shouldn’t be cops until relatively recently in history. In fact, people such as Winston Churchill and the Founding Fathers embraced this grasp of sex roles. But I suppose you’d tell them to join the Taliban, too.

The idea that Churchill had the same view of women as do Muslims is *quite* false. As a young man, he wrote:
“The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.”
As for his opposing women in uniform, Winston Churchill was the first to authorize women manning (pun intended) searchlights targeting Nazi planes in WWII.
He also authorized female secret agents.
In his support of women in the armed services, he wrote:
“I fear there is a complex against women being connected with lethal work,” he wrote his secretary of war privately in December 1941. “We must get rid of this.”
http://www.historynet.com/why-not-send-women-to-war.htm
My mother and aunt both served in the army in Britain as young women, and Winston Churchill was very supportive.
In fact, his *own daughter* Mary served as a “gunner girl.”
Here’s a picture of the great man and his daughter in uniform:

It’s amazing how people’s biases can prevent them from interpreting correctly what’s being related. I’m talking about you, of course.
I never said Churchill had the same position on women that Muslims do. So let’s not be stupid. I said he had the same view, essentially THAT I DO.
You do know that Churchill opposed women being granted voting rights, don’t you? As for his statement relating to the military, he never said women should fill the same roles as men. He only meant that they could serve in some capacity.
You accuse me of being akin to Muslims, but the reality is that you are part of the problem. You think we can defeat one lie with another (modernism). You will find out the hard way (if you’re capable of growing and learning) that you are wrong.
roger woodhouse says
Yes .Its one thing to quote the great Winston Churchill for comments made when Britain was desperate for all the labour it could get(including women) whilst ignoring his hatred of Islam .Im sure Winston was as aware of any female ‘weaknesses’ in certain occupations as anyone but to try and pretend he would deny their value is rediculous.Comparing him with Islamic attitudes to women is also fallacious.
Truth 101 says
Roger,
You weren’t entirely clear on who you were disagreeing with most, but I never equated Churchill’s views on women with those of Muslims. Graven did that, falsely attributing the position to me.
I also never denied women’s value or implied that Churchill did. I stated a fact: Like virtually everyone in the history of the West, he had more traditional views on sex roles. This included the belief that voting should be reserved to men.
It’s sad that, as with leftists, stating the facts here is controversial and inspires personal attacks. If people here want to buy into the radical egalitarianism that is destroying the West, that’s their prerogative. But don’t kid yourself into thinking it accords with the Western ideal. It doesn’t.

Monty says
Police training includes investigation, determining facts, interviewing witnesses and drawing conclusions. I was not aware that shoot to kill was required before the investigation begins. Of course if there is no initial investigation, there is no case. Islam needs to be put on trial, but there is a conspiracy of silence regarding anything to do with Islam. The political masters in Australia have determined Islam to be safe on the basis of Ahmadiyya Muslim teaching. That’s a bit like asking German Jews if they support Hitler and then saying that no Germans are Nazis.

demonstrators took over the news conf. and brought up the cops body cameras were not on. The chief should have enforced that policy along with quality control of the personnel they hire.

Sorry the woman getting shot was the breaking point. alot of hearts are broken now and it has been fairly predictable given the willful ignorance of the leftist mentality. Stay tuned, there will be more.
warmac9999 says
First of all, this is outright cowardice in the face of criticism. Second, individuals from Somalia have been shown to be among the most ardent supporters of ISIS terrorism so putting any one from that community on the police force just about guarantees trouble. Second, a thorough examination of the nature of Islam is needed.
This idea that you don’t blame a community is idiotic. The Somalis come to this country from the most violent of muslim communities in the world – the blame is not only Noors to bear but the entire Somali community. This idea that you can excuse bad behavior by yelling “Islamophobia” is stupid and insulting.

Let me guess…
She’s a member of Three Minority Groups(TM) and was hired as police chief for only that reason.

Even more interesting is her use of the plural in “the communities we serve”. Could we please have a list of these communities? Does the Minneapolis Police Department provide police services in nearby suburban communities too, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edina%2C_Minnesota ?
ItsReallyQuiteClear says
Mark,
Interesting question.
According to the Minneapolis Police Department’s website, their vision statement is:
Be a recognized and respected law enforcement leader in public safety strategies and service to our *community*.
But if you consider the context (code for ideology) of her statement, I think she’s referring to the two communities that she considers the MPD to serve…you know, believers and kufars.
ItsReallyQuiteClear says
Maybe Noor will offer to not sue the city in exchange for being appointed the new police chief? Maybe he’ll be rewarded, for the faithful “execution” of his obligations, with a $10 million payout from Canada — wouldn’t be hard to believe that the next step for Canada would be to adopt the Palestinian “incentive” plan.
And what’s up with the mayor asserting that Noor was a fully trained officer and the police chief asserting that Noor’s actions don’t reflect departmental training or procedures? Unless the mayor’s statements were more about setting up the axing of the chief than they were about setting up a legal defense for Noor?
gravenimage says
I think this was just standard CYA.
ItsReallyQuiteClear says
I would agree about the police chief’s statement, but the only CYA I see in the mayor’s statement would be to help a potential legal defense for Noor, to say that he was acting completely in accord with the training provided to him by the MPD.
I could also see the mayor knowingly making her statement for that reason, but I could also see the mayor making her statement as an indictment of the police chief’s leadership. But it doesn’t make sense to me, that a politician of the level of a mayor of a city the size of MSP, would needlessly increase the city’s potential liability in that way.
Unless you’re suggesting that the mayor is so hellbent on pointing responsibility at the police chief, that she’d risk exposing the the city to increased liability in order to try to deflect maximum blame onto the police chief? That, I would buy.
Mark A says
“The recent incidents do not reflect the training and procedures we’ve developed as a Department. Despite the MPD’s many accomplishments under my leadership over these years and my love for the City, I have to put the communities we serve first.

Not a scrap of humility or contrition in that statement.
“I’ve decided I am willing to step aside…”?

Do you think that Noor is in the Running for NEW POLICE CHIEF? Just an idea, because right away, Noor’s DRIVER, Harrity, told his lawyer that it was “Reasonable” to think that He & Noor might be targeted for an ambush!
Supporting the Muslim is a way for both to get promoted, but Noor appears to be headed for A BIG PROMOTION! SICK MINNEAPOLIS!
gravenimage says
This is silly. Noor has been complaining that he is not getting enough support from his fellow officers. The idea that he is poised to be appointed the new chief makes no sense.
And Matthew Harrity was not Noor’s “driver”, but his partner. The idea that Muslims on the police force have their own drivers is also silly.
Ted Tyler says
I don’t see this as mainly a Muslim problem. I see it as an affirmative action problem in which there is pressure to higher unqualified people. Most cops are not qualified to handle high-stress situations and inappropriately resort to deadly force. There should be a virtual reality stress trainer in use so that weak cop-links can be eliminated.
As far as women go, yes, they actually are different. In WW2, women proved more effective as code-breakers than did men. In a test between smart men and smart women on solving mathematical problems, both groups performed equally well, but brain scans showed that the men and women were using different parts of the brain to solve the problems. In basic military training, the women did not respond well to intense verbal abuse while the men had a positive response to verbal abuse. A female suicide bomber failed in her mission because “I just did not want to kill all those people”. It is unlikely that a male suicide bomber would have that concern.

billybob says
In spite of the compelling logic of that video, I persist in the belief that women and men need to listen to each other in all important human endeavours. Each sex has something unique to offer. Anybody who is married must realize that upon occasion, the other side turned out to have had the better idea. The best marriages are partnerships, where each individual has come to know his or her own strengths and weaknesses and those of the partner, and decision making becomes based on the best of the abilities of both. Governing a nation can’t be any different.
Truth 101 says
Of course husband and wife should communicate and be open to good ideas the other may have. As C.S. Lewis pointed out, however, you can’t have a democracy of two because the votes cancel each other out. Someone has to cast the deciding vote. That should be the man.
Women certainly have much to offer — just not in the civic realm. Men create the civic order. Women create the domestic order (i.e., making a house a home).
Susan B says
How nice, so women can park their brains outside the home and become servants for you. Why did God bother to give female brains when all they need to know is to cook and clean for you their lord and master. Funny how this really works well for men but not for the now enslaved female. I feel sorry for you as you seem to think you are superior to females and all you are is an insecure female hating egomaniac. A real man is not afraid to share love and responsibility with his partner. How is your point of view any different from the female subjugation and abuse practiced in islam? You need to grow up and become a man and I pity any female that gets involved with you.

I posted the video in the hopes of sparking a conversation around some of the puzzling behavior of both men and women in regard to the existential threat of Islam to Western Civilization. The video certainly presents a unique and controversial viewpoint.
One item worthy of contemplation is the fact that women have never been the ones to create or maintain a civil society – it is men that do that. This begs the question as to why aren’t more men responding, in warrior like fashion, to the very real and immediate threat that Islam presents to human freedom?

Who said that women had no say in the creation of civilizations. Just because they were denied education and a voice does not mean they did not contribute. I find it interesting that men claim they are the only ones who create and never mention that they had to hold females down in order to be the only ones. So your solution is to put women back under the control of men and to hell with their happiness or freedom. Yes I am sure that works for many men like you. Unfortunately it is hell on wheels for women.

This woman’s face has a greenish hue; that alone should preclude someone form a position of authority.

She looks like agent orange in some pictures and exhumes a similar toxicity

Question: How many people have to die before people get it through their thick, IGNORANT, skulls that ISLAM is a cult of death, murder, illness, rape, slavery and misogyny!?
Answer: ALL OF THEM.
This leftist communist/hate the west/cultural masochism that has spread to the indignant little twerps that provide nothing yet take everything, skating upon the foundation as if their very existence is deserved rather than a constant process of earning one’s way needs to stop subscribing to revisionist history, safe spaces and affirmative action. It is no wonder why the people that produce everything from the food to the oil have an overwhelmingly conservative view, and that the subhuman filth that thinks they are above these truly foundational real men and women swing left and far left. They exist as those that want to get but never give. When they give it is for vanity and feelings rather than morality. And the woman that died looks like she was a lefty as well. However, she didn’t deserve to die before her natural time at the hands of one of those Al Shabab “skinnies.” These bastards are vile creatures that abuse all that are around them, and he was no different. He abused the power of the shield and when the weight of responsibility came down he trembles and cowardly puts on a show of a -poor me victim! It is bull, complete rancid Jihadist, taqiyya and tawriya spewing asshat has murdered a “kafir” and is probably going to get away with it.
There is some merit in the original Starship Troopers idea in that a person must earn citizenship and the rights and privileges thereof. Sure they can be civilians and such and go about their lives and whatever, but anything with a decision that bears the burden of larger society must be earned. Then instead of getting high and wanting everything done for them but remaining unwilling to do anything they might actually have a hand in building something and not have time to get high and buy welfare pizzas.
As someone that has served, I am disgusted at “diversity” hires and promotions. These are the corrosive breaks in the chain that render the thin blue and red lines a sieve.

Ya think?

What an abortion of affirmative backwards action! Appalling that a young women was murdered by a flinchy creeped out Muslim off the refugee boat and turned loosed in the People of Minneapolis. Why they are electing these Edge Left incompetent “PC” people as mayor etc is appalling. They signed their city over to Muslims and look what happens.where are the outraged rioters for this poor women? Oh – she was white.
Now the cover up. I hope the police “chief” at least took their badges and weapons. And that idiot Muhammed worshipper is charged with murder. Just seeing photos of his family all nijabbed up probably gave him the idea to a shoot pajama clad woman.
demuslim says
resignation ? No, let’s lodge a police report against Minneapolis police chief and we should ask DOJ to prosecute those who has done terrible mistake as a civil servant.
no forgiveness and no impunity to those politicians , civil servants and Islamic jihadis.
John A. Marre says
Let me guess. This woman’s incompetence was welcomed so as to fill affirmative action quotas.
Innocent people pay the price for the abomination of putting unqualified people in responsible positions so as to appease the great god of multiculturalism.
Valkyrie Ziege says
; The Muhammadan law enforcement officer that did the actual shooting should resign, not the person who didn’t do the actual shooting.
Truth 101 says
Here’s a clue: the department has slugs like him on it partially because of the stupid, affirmative-action woman masquerading as a police chief. Or did you think that this lesbian got her position based on merit?
birchstick says
Check out CNN on this piece. They do not make mention that Noor is Muslim anywhere but later in the article they make mention of another cop shooting and make sure the reader knows the cop was white.
What a bunch of dirtbags.
O.G says
I think spray-tanning yourself is going to become a new trend so you don’t look so white and offend muslims by your whiteness.
Richard says
We don’t want the police chief to resign, we want the killer cop to be prosecuted for murder and executed.
Jeff Pearce says
The main underlying problem this govt that hired this cop has is this; if they choose to prosecute they hold themselves responsible for a crime. Placing the blame squarely on themselves and their pc policies. They cannot tolerate this prospect.
Mark A says
That’s quite the suntan the now former police chief of Minneapolis has.
It makes me wonder how much time she spends on vacation in sunnier climates than Minneapolis or under sunlamps in Minneapolis.

@Susan B
“Who said that women had no say in the creation of civilizations. Just because they were denied education and a voice does not mean they did not contribute.”
My goodness Suzy B, you’ve certainly got your panties all in a twist over this!
No one is suggesting that women do not contribute to civilizations, not even the creator of the video. It’s just that very generally speaking, men and women contribute in different ways.
When hordes of women are convinced that their “happiness and freedom” depends on having leaders with female genitalia to the exclusion of all other qualifications, it is destructive to society. We saw this phenomenon in the last election and we see the disastrous results of this type of “thinking” with this Lesbian Police Chief.
Men and women are different Suzy B and to suggest that they perform equally well in all areas of endeavor is to deny reality. The reason our present society is in such trouble is that it has largely abandoned meritocracy and common sense and has embarked on a campaign of extreme forced egalitarianism – regardless of the consequences.
As an example, many women would make excellent nurses and doctors, but generally, they are not suited to be in the front line infantry, and to place them there is to seek disaster.
