Father of woman killed by Minneapolis Muslim cop: “investigation was not done properly”

Dec 21, 2017 5:55 pm By Robert Spencer

“We are deeply concerned about the possibility that the initial investigation was not done properly.”

That seems likely. Everyone wanted Mohamed Noor on the police force. He was a symbol, and so he was elevated beyond his competence. He is now a symbol of the fact that Minneapolis put political correctness and the rejection of “Islamophobia” over the safety of the people the police were supposed to be protecting. And now the investigation of Noor is not being pursued properly because investigators are no doubt paralyzed by the fear of doing something “Islamophobic” and enraging Minneapolis-area Muslims.

“Australian man slams Minnesota investigation of his daughter’s killing by police,” by Karma Allen, ABC News, December 21, 2017:

The father of an Australian woman who was fatally shot by a Minnesota police officer this year said he was “deeply concerned” about the state’s investigation into her death.

“We are apprehensive that perhaps the BCA [Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension] has not fulfilled its promise,” John Ruszczyk, the father of Justine Damond, said at a news conference in Sydney this morning.

“We are deeply concerned about the possibility that the initial investigation was not done properly,” he added.

Damond, 40, was fatally shot by Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor on July 15 after she called 911 to report a possible assault near her home.

Authorities said Noor and fellow officer Matthew Harrity responded to Damond’s 911 call but never found a suspect. They were startled by a loud noise before Damond approached the driver’s side of their vehicle 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.

Damond, a meditation and yoga instructor, lived in Minneapolis’ Fulton neighborhood with her fiance, Don Damond. The two had planned to marry in August.

Ruszczyk’s comments came just days after Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman was recorded on video last week telling activists that he didn’t have enough evidence to charge Noor because investigators “haven’t done their job.”

Freeman later issued an apology to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, a division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, saying, “I was wrong to discuss both the agency’s work and what discussions we are having internally.”

Ruszczyk said today, “At the least, Mr. Freeman’s comments cast doubt on the description of how Justine’s death occurred as it was initially put out by the BCA and the attorney for the officer driving the squad car.”

“We continue to implore Mr. Freeman and the prosecutor’s office to continue to pursue a rigorous investigation and examination of evidence in the events leading to Justine’s death,” he added. “We expect them to fill in any gaps in the BCA’s work honestly and fairly but completely.”…

Noor, who has not been charged, has refused to speak to investigators….

    Minneapolis police seem have to put this case into the “too hard’ basket. Further daelays add to the suspicion that they wish to whitewash Islam.

      Suspicion? The hiring and the investigation of Mohamed Noor is 100% about whitewashing Islam.

    And again, a criminal Muslim gets a free pass.

      They put political correctness and ‘optics’ ahead of public safety and now this lovely, precious woman is dead. To add insult to injury, the police force and politicians are trying to cover it up.

      Allah Akbar.

    Why didn’t they bring the case before a grand jury or let a special prosecutor handle thee case. That is what is usually done in cases like that. Can that guy return to the force and serve? Can he be trusted? He has several civil cases pending against him.

    This S.O.B should’ve at the very least been prosecuted for manslaughter and jailed for a maximum penalty…

      My exact thoughts, to the word. This is one of those times when you wish you would be proven wrong.

        I recall that immediately after Ms.Damond’s murder, her fiancee said something to the effect that if this case furthered Islamic immigration,, she would have been happy to give her life.”
        Those are not his exact words, but the meaning is the same. Apparently her father doesn’t feel the same. In the case of clock boy’s detaining, the DOJ was there immediate to investigate not the Muslim boy, but the teacher who reported his bomb-like device and the police department.

        IMO this was a clear case of murder by a Muslim for not reason whatsoever. Perhaps Minneapolis don’t like their citizens to make a loud noise. There has been no evidence that there was even a noise and certainly none that Ms. Damon made it. She was shot through an open window on the driver’s side by the cop in the passenger seat. What kind of noise could she have made which would warrant her death if she were standing by an open window. It is also suspicious to me that she was shot in the abdomen. It would have been odd if she were crouched over to speak through the officers through the window for her abdomen to have been exposed through a window. Either she was shot through the door of the police car, which was the first report, or she was shot standing upright.

        Whatever the case, this woman was shot by a Muslim while she was seeking help, likely because the cop didn’t like blondes in their pajamas running around in front of him.

    he should at least be brought before a grand jury for manslaughter. If he had been a white cop shooting a black guy that’s what would have happened

    Muslim privilege strikes again.

  8. Bodega says

    Investigate, prosecute and find him guilty and send him to the Muslim country he chooses. I no longer care.

    This is what you get when you hire people based on feelings and not qualifications. I guess they won’t be satisfied until a fire truck driven by a Muslim woman who weighs 90 pounds shows up needing to rescue four people inside.

    I hope someone contacts this father and tells him we are just as angry as he is. Well, admittedly that’s not possible. He lost his daughter. But the way things work in politically correct stupid America we’re going to get more incompetent Muslim cops because the administrators are going to have to double down and try to prove they were right all along.

    Lessons to be learned
    Do not allow these types of people into the U.S.
    Refrain when possiable calling the police

    The goverment lies to us all the time
    “not enough evidence”

    What kind of bullsh!t is that?
    Too bad the father does not have Chicago mob connection

    Some specail person could be fish food for 2018

      From what I read, the Somalis are the worst of the worst. They have taken over large sections of Nashville with their barbaric ways. The Obama administration sneaked them in to Middle TN without anyone noticing until it was too late and they had overrun parts of TN.

    Father of woman killed by Minneapolis Muslim cop: “investigation was not done properly”
    …………………..

    Deeply disturbing. This poor woman has been sacrificed on the altar of “political correctness”. Good for her father for speaking out.

    There is, of course, also the question of who this Muslim police officer might kill in the future.

  16. WESTPAC Spy says

    Dec 21, 2017 at 11:46 pm

    “What kind of bullsh!t is that?”

    I have a name for it. But I doubt it can be printed.

    Actually it takes several words. Which can’t be printed, Not on a family web site,

    • Carolyne says

      Dec 22, 2017 at 11:02 am

      Suffice it to say that this kind of bullshit is called “Political Correctness.” Let the poor Muslims run rampant in our country. They suffered enough in their own so they are entitled.

      Once cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. One cannot make a civilized human out of a Somali.

  17. Kasey says

    Dec 22, 2017 at 5:35 am

    It’s rather obvious that the Minnesota authorities and police are more concerned with appeasing the Somalian Islamic community there, rather than giving proper justice to the victim and her family and friends.

    What price Justice????????????

    Murder, Islamic terrorism and whitewash. It works for Minnesota Democrats because they keep getting re-elected by Minnesota Democrats.

    Get used to it MN. You live in a hotbed of liberal stupidity–you might be living under Sharia soon if that buffoon in the mansion has his way. Like he said, move out of you don’t like mass immigration. You are asking for whatever is coming your way. Do something or just keep quiet and accept your fate.

    Hey American police, not really a good way to enhance your reputations and get people on your side when islamic psychopaths are out there and dead set on killing you. Just sayin.
