This confirms what I have said all along about this case. The Minneapolis Police Department and city officials wanted Mohamed Noor to succeed. He graduated from a fast-track program to get onto the force in the first place. But his competence as a police officer was always secondary to his ethnicity and religion. Noor proved to be an incompetent police officer. There were three complaints against him in two years. A neighbor reported: “He is extremely nervous … he is a little jumpy … he doesn’t really respect women, the least thing you say to him can set him off.” When the neighbor heard that Noor was the cop who had shot an unarmed woman, he wasn’t surprised: “When they say a policeman shot an Australian lady I thought uh oh, but then when they said who it was, I was like, ‘OK.'”
None of this mattered. Noor could have marched into Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges’ office and announced that she would henceforth be his infidel sex slave, and he would have remained on the force.
If the Minneapolis Police Department hired and fired police officers based solely on their fitness for the job, and not on their usefulness as symbols of Minneapolis’ commitment to diversity and resolve to fight “Islamophobia,” Justine Damond would be alive today.
This case should put an end to the hiring of incompetent police officers because of their ethnicity and religion. But it won’t.
“Former Minneapolis cop’s behavior before shooting death of Australian woman raised concerns, court filings say,” by Greg Norman, Fox News, September 6, 2018:
The former Minneapolis police officer charged in the shooting death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond once put a gun to a driver’s head during a traffic stop and sometimes ignored calls, according to court filings indicating that psychiatrists and training officers voiced concerns about his fitness for duty.
The revelations surfaced after defense attorneys filed a motion Wednesday seeking to dismiss murder and manslaughter charges against Mohamed Noor, who is accused of shooting Damond in July 2017 after she dialed 911 to report a possible assault.
In a response filed Wednesday, Hennepin County prosecutors said Noor was flagged by two psychiatrists during a pre-hiring evaluation in early 2015. The psychiatrists said he seemed unable to handle the stress of regular police work and exhibited an unwillingness to deal with people.
The psychiatric evaluation said Noor was more likely than other candidates to become impatient with others over minor infractions, have trouble getting along with others, to be more demanding and to have a limited social support network. The psychiatrists said he “reported disliking people and being around them.”
But since Noor exhibited no signs of a major mental illness, chemical dependency or personality disorder, he was cleared to work, the filing said.
In one instance two months before the shooting, Noor reportedly pointed a gun at the head of a driver who was pulled over for giving the middle finger to a bicyclist and then passing a vehicle without signaling.
“When the defendant approached the driver’s side of the stopped car, the first thing he did was point his gun at the driver’s head,” the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported court documents, citing squad car video, as saying.
But the filing added that Noor and his fellow officer during that stop never “documented their display of force or any justification for it.” The driver ended up being ticketed for failing to signal, but the case was thrown out after Noor never showed up in court.
According to the filings, one training officer also reported that on Noor’s third-to-last training shift in 2016, he sometimes didn’t want to take calls, instead driving in circles when he could have accepted them. The calls were for simple matters, such as a road hazard or a suspicious vehicle.
In another instance, a training officer said Noor told a 911 caller he would follow up on a report of a possible burglar, but never did. The officer said that it bothered her that he never bothered to check the area, because police are bound to “do our due diligence on this job.”
Noor was fired in March, the same day he was charged. His lawyers have said he acted in self-defense, and his union is appealing his dismissal. A hearing on the motions is set for Sept. 27….
Walter Sieruk says
That Muslim man who was a member and officer of the Minneapolis police department is a disgrace to the police force. By his uncalled for shooting of the unarmed woman he was at the very best ,totally unfit and incompetence,as a police officer or at the worst he allowed his religion which is fill of misogyny and arrogant contempt and hate for non-Muslims to influence his actions of shooting that woman.
If the later answer in the is valid answer this shows that its is right and fair , and even more so fair to the American citizens who are not Muslims, in a city or town to not hire a man or woman if his or her religious convictions may be in strong conflict with the job that person was hired for . To such a good police hiring policy. Many Muslims at this safety idea idea or hiring would yell out he term “religious discrimination. ” For the safety and security of the public such “religious discrimination” is actually good discernment and good judgement There also the “race card” that some Muslims would have the gall to use the term ” racial profiling.” This would ,indeed, involve much gall. For as made very clear ,time and time again , “Islam is not a race, Islam is a religious,/ political / Sharia law based system of mind control and has much tyrannical power and influence of the thought sand actions of millions of people around the world.” So if a Muslim can’t override the power of the influence of his religion that effects the his actions of his job performance the he is very unfit to be an America police officer.
Stacy Girl says
The only reason this man was hired: his Islamic faith. And perhaps brown skin. Double prizes if stupidity and recklessness are awarded.

There is someone who hired,’fast tracked’ this person and turned him loose on an unsuspecting public – causing the loss of life (murder) of a totally innocent woman. How can they sleep at night?.
Frank Anderson says
D-spot, please allow me to suggest spending some time searching the word “sociopath”, the short description of which is a person who has no sense of legal, moral or ethical limitation. According to my reading when dealing with a sociopathic opponent, in any large population 1 person in 30 is a sociopath. The several people who put this monster in a uniform, gave him a badge and gun, and then put him on the street knowing of his mental condition are just as guilty of his crimes as he is. The woman’s federal civil rights were violated under color of state law, resulting in her death. Take a look at 18 United States Code Section 2. Who will prosecute the charges?
Giacomo Latta says
If this person you are referring to is successfully sued for their fatal mistake then he or she will be soon be sleeping on concrete. That is how they will be sleeping at night.
WildWelshWoman says
Had it not been for the sake of ‘diversity’ Justine Diamond would still be alive. The focus on hiring minorities to fulfill government ‘diversity’ mandates has to stop. Candidates should be hired on their merits, not on their skin color or on their nation of origin or religion. It should be the best person for the job. Clearly, in the case of the Minneapolis Police Department, Mohamed Noor was not that person.
It’s virtue signalling at its best, making it mandatory for large companies and corporations to hire a certain percentage of non-whites. Essentially, we are telling these individuals that they are being hired because they are ‘second best.’
Companies should be allowed to hire as they see fit and not be forced to hire someone based on their color, language or religion.
Mohamed Noor’s is probably the worst case scenario because he killed someone due to his incompetency, but I’m willing to bet that there are millions of similar or less dramatic cases across the Western world.
StellaSaidSo says
Well said.
How those who invented ‘diversity’ failed to see that to hire on any basis other than competence is to lower standards and to put lives at risk simply beggars belief.

Now, he has his Diapers Changed for Him & Quite Nice Quarters, Thrown In.
The Two GOV DEPTS that are a MUST for a Civilized Society, LE & Military, have failed us by refusing to hire on Merit, but worship Diversity, which is a LOSER.
Mateen Elass says
What a damning indictment of the application of PC thinking, placing racial and religious “quota” mentality above the safety and security of the public! Noor should be tried and convicted of manslaughter at least, but those who hired him in the face of disqualifying evidence should fact prosecution as well, imho.

‘Self defence’. Pfft.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry. The worst part is how depressingly unsurprising the revelations of the concerns raised about his character and behaviour are – and how sad it is that no-one took any action to strip him of his badge and gun before it was too late.
Let him rot in prison for murder.

Well, his defense is “self-defense”, which seems like a lot of baloney to me. A woman in pajamas with no visible weapon. Infidel, female, approaches this male without permission. That is what happened.

Self defence? Because Australian women in their bedtime attire are roolly roolly dangerous! I hope this scum feels the full force of the law he did such a lousy job of serving.

If the police union insists on supporting him, the members should walk out.
But… this is the Minneapolis PD. Author Joel Rosenberg was documenting their corruption when they fabricated charges to jail him — and “forgot” to give him his medications. He died shortly afterwards.

John Guandolo has quite an interesting article on his Understanding the Threat website from 2016 regarding the situation in Minneapolis-St. Paul. My opinion is that when, not if, we get some really serious civil unrest like we did in the 1960’s, a surprising number of cities will make those episodes look like Sunday School picnics. Prepare accordingly.
Read House to House by SSG David Bellavia. This is what kind of situation we will be looking at (think Fallujah and Ramadi).
James Lincoln says
I don’t believe that known or declared Muslims should be allowed to serve in any types of law enforcement.
They may initially be Muslims in name only, but that can change. If they are or become a devout Muslim and follow the Koran, Sura, and Hadith, they are commanded to ignore U.S. laws, and support Sharia.
Renate says
Maybe the jizyah is a good thing. Who really wants Muslims “working” anyway? Pay Muslims to keep out of the workforce and let people who care about what they’re doing have the jobs.

Muslims don’t belong here in the civilized West. And paying them not to work in many cases also gives them more time and money to plot violent Jihad against us.

Been There Got the Tee Shirt says
The Australian lady’s family should get the best attorneys money can buy and sue the pants off of both the Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges and her grossly incompetent police chief Janee Harteau. The fact that patrolman Noor 1) had a bad psychiatric evaluation, 2) several performance issues while on duty, and 3) treated women with intolerance, was a known fact, yet these “civil servants” did nothing except preen for the cameras and pick up their undeserved pay checks. They should both be fired and all pension benefits stripped. I hope Justine’s family and their attorneys can get judgements in both criminal and civil courts, and a jury gives the two jail time for their crimes, and in civil courts bankrupt these two incompetent stupid persons, and yes, make a really meaningful example of both of them. Then maybe the next time a “civil servant” considers hiring grossly incompetent individuals for their own capricious reasons will have second thoughts about giving the job to a psychotic misogynist unassimilated immigrant hired for the sole reason to make their organization appear to be inclusive so they can brag about their wonderful achievements.
As far as Noor goes, and those involved in the cover-up going on, he (and those accessories after the fact) should be tried for conspiracy and murder and if found guilty given the maximum sentence with no parole. And like his mentors (the mayor and police chief) he should be tried in civil court. I did see that Justine’s family is suing for a substantial amount of money. It would be a travesty of justice if the City of Minneapolis has to pay, and not the responsible individuals.
Ruth says
I believe Noor shot her because she was outside in her pajamas- she wasn’t covered properly!! If she had a hajab or burka on, he probably wouldn’t have shot her….. he should NEVER have been hired or given a gun!!!!!!!

As a diversity hire his prime job was to look good in photographs, particularly in public ceremonies. Additional duties include attend meeting in which the department briefs (boasts) about its diversity – sometimes as a member of the audience, sometimes as the lecture giver. Personally I prefer cheerleaders to be pretty girls in miniskirts but in this case the department had a Muslim man.
When the police force realised that he trouble they could have transferred him to a job away from the general public – for instance police HQ probably has an officer who patrols the outside to prevent theft of things like tires.

“an unwillingness to deal with people ….impatient with others”.

Chris Brownlow says
Can someone please explain to me why the Left is so enamored with Islam and Muslims? I dont understand the allure. Anyone have any insight?
Frank Anderson says
CB, I welcome other views and analysis. Mine is based on my reading about pre-WWII Germany and the surrounding influences that inspired evil there and elsewhere. Hitler and Himmler adored islam for its orientation to violence, death and slavery. At the same time Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels fought long before the war to distinguish National Socialism from International Socialism (Communism) which has the same objectives except for control from Moscow instead of Berlin. Both totalitarian groups wanted then and still want now to control every aspect of every person’s life so that the value of any individual is lost in favor of the collective. Where have you heard that word thrown around for the last decade? I suggest for a much better and more detailed discussion reading Jonah Goldberg’s book, Liberal Fascism. My summary of all totalitarian governments is that I (the person in charge) am a genius; You are a complete idiot who needs me to protect you from yourself and all the other hazards of life. But along the way, your life is worthless and can be sacrificed for the “greater good” anytime for any reason or purpose that I find appropriate. Islam being a criminal conspiracy that teaches no good and everything evil (murder, slavery, rape, theft,. . .), it is a totalitarian’s dream. And that is my opinion.
In the way of a footnote followers of Karl Marx have killed or enslaved about as many people as followers of Mo in 1/10th the time. Food for thought.
Guy Forester says
FA:
Very well written explanation of how these ideologies flourish. I have had some very interesting interactions with people from the middle east due to my former careers here and abroad. I can describe it this way: In these countries, the population basically expects a strong leader to tell them and everyone else what to believe and how to act.
In the west, we seem to think that the majority of the citizens would rather fight than allow such a person to rule over them. However, history has shown very clearly, that when personal safety, income, and hope are in serious jeopardy, people will flock to a leader that promises to fix this situation.This is a bit of an oversimplification, but helps explain how this happens.
I just finished reading “Spain in Our Hearts” by Adam Hochshild about the Spanish Civil War. There were a number of people on both sides of that war that could best be described as “true believers” that fought for an ideology. I suspect that when all is said and done most people that will support either a leftist/socialist domination or Islamic domination fall into the above two camps.
My opinion is that the left and Islam have a current love affair not so much because they love each other, but because they hate the West, our culture, our heritage, and the values we proclaim (or used to anyway). When we are out of the way, then they will turn on each other to see who rules the roost. They see each other as inferior and as useful idiots.
Sorry for the long diatribe, but these views are based upon what I have seen as well as studied.
Frank Anderson says
GF, I would not argue with a word you have written.
Frank Anderson says
GF, some people, including you, are capable of assembling, composing and writing more than a one word or sentence thought. My longest single document is probably the app 102 page Petition for Writ of Certiorari I wrote and assembled, printed in 70 copies in proper booklet form with help for the binding, stapling and cutting to size. Where it would have cost easily $10,000 (that I did not have) to hire the printing I did it for 300 plus 12 hours per day 7 days a week for 7 weeks. Like 98 percent of such petitions it was denied. But I showed arrogant, corrupt liars that I could do it and made a record of their corruption that can never be erased. Keep writing just as long and thoughtful as you wish. There can come a day when we will not be able to say or write our thoughts if we don’t win.
Frank Anderson says
GF, you know I have a story about this that I really would enjoy sharing.
The first time I stood in a courtroom as a legal intern before graduating and being licensed I was to plead a man guilty of DUI, 1 year, 11 months and 29 days after a previous conviction, which would cause him, a yard man, suspension of his license for months/years, a fine, and other costs he could ill afford. I asked the judge if there was any room in the law for “reason” to give the man a break. My mentor, an absolutely great public defender was not pleased with my effort. After court ended I apologized to the judge if I had spoken out of turn. The judge told me there was nothing for which apology was necessary: A defense attorney is the *only* person who stands between an accused and the entire power of the state.
We never know when we write here who or what we will inspire. But we know if we don’t write nobody will be inspired.
gravenimage says
Good analysis, Frank and Guy.
I think there is another factor in many cases, as well–willful naivite. I know a lot of people who have convinced themselves that *anyone*, even Muslims from Jihad states, will automatically settle in and be great citizens in Western societies–just like the locals, only cooler and with spicier cuisines.
Of course, this is absurd–but usually no amount of evidence to the contrary will budge most of these Kumbayah types.
Frank Anderson says
GI, your term is too polite, and really unclear. I urge you to recall the term “deliberate ignorance” from the case Wyle v. R.J.Reynolds, “Deliberate ignorance constitutes knowledge of the truth.”
Frank Anderson says
GI, do you recall the utterly deceptive language used by James Comey at the behest of Stzrok and others in calling HRC “extremely careless” instead of “grossly negligent” in order to keep her from being prosecuted for revealing *every email she sent or received to foreign powers hacking her server*? Words can make a difference. The correct term for the MN cabal is “deliberately ignorant” which should make them responsible for the shooting as much as the shooter. “The knowledge of one is the knowledge of all; The acts of one are the acts of all.” Basic US law on conspiracy, including conspiracy to violate civil rights under color of law.
Frank Anderson says
GI, sometimes thoughts take a while to “jell”. You might wish to ask whose civil rights were the target of the conspiracy that put this man on the street with a badge and a gun ready to kill? This is where “universal malice” becomes important. Universal malice can be illustrated by recent cases where large rocks were thrown off bridges into random oncoming cars to kill drivers or passengers. Other older cases involved shooting into passing railroad passenger cars or automobiles. The shooter/defendant didn’t know or care who would be injured or killed by this obviously dangerous conduct. The officials who put this man out to kill did not care who he killed or why, as long as he was in a position to kill. That should make them part of the conspiracy, aiding, abetting, counselling and acting in furtherance of one or more federal felonies. I don’t think this is any “new” law.
Susan B says
It’s called brainwashing. Look to the education system to the entertainment system and the MSM. This brainwashing that hides the evils of islam are fed trillions of $$$. The good news is when you have had your eyes opened you are no longer a victim. Just keep waking up the sleepwalkers.
Chris Brownlow says
Just their sheer obedience to the Quran which is counter to our Constitution should disqualify Muslims from running and holding public office. This not a First Amendment situation as Islam is not a religion as much as it is a roadmap for tyranny. How can we undo this stupid mistake and make it a Constitutional amendment?
Frank Anderson says
C.B., I am pretty sure that no new law, Constitutional or otherwise is needed. IRS has gone after many fraudulent claims for tax treatment by religious groups on the basis of “substance” over “form”. If you take the time and read the well-written case of United States v. Gary Greenough, 609 F.Supp 1090 (S.D. Ala. 1985), you can see how precisely islam fits the definition of a criminal conspiracy. The case is readily available online. The claim to be a “religion” exempt from all scrutiny is purely a matter of “form” when the “substance” of the activity conducted daily by its members is criminal. See for yourself.
Guy Forester says
Due to political (votes) and financial considerations (large donations to certain “charities”, endowments, stock ownerships, and most likely PAC’s) I would be surprised if any action is taken against these entities currently hiding under a “veil” of religion.
Currently, several fake veteran charities are being taken down precisely for the lack of actual charitable activities. Compare how many hospitals, schools, orphanages, and social support agencies (think Salvation Army) certain groups sponsor as opposed to others. I think it should be obvious that certain “charities” are not. We should not allow one group to go unchallenged in their lack of substance while others go to jail. Unfortunately, politics as they are means that little will be done.
Frank Anderson says
GF, I think what you write is true. Is there any reason to expect any new law to do any good where existing law is not enforced? I have a particular state “consumer protection” law in one state that removes every protection by making the remedy paltry and outlawing class actions for deceptive trade practices (search “tying agreements”). A second state law destroyed usury limitations in order to allow “new financial alternatives” in a special session of the legislature. “Nobody’s money, property or liberty is safe when the legislature is in session.” I don’t remember the source.
I also think of European law for “retaliatory discharge” for reporting criminal conduct that allows pitiful relief and prevents meaningful damages that would allow an employee who performs the duty to get away from a criminal organization, run and controlled by criminals, to move somewhere of safety and peace. *WHY* would anyone want reinstatement with backpay and little or nothing else when his life has been destroyed by the corruption and power for a former employer? I don’t think the proposed law at the lime of my research allowed for recovery of attorney fees or expenses. I lost my job for just such a reason, refusing to help steal money from some of the poorest people of a state, the reason for my research. Not only did I lose the job, they did everything they could to prevent me from working again. Having done it before to others, triggering their suicide in one way or another, they expected it to work again. It hasn’t yet. On the contrary it has produced a publicized plan that will defeat corruption without forcing the destruction of the person who will obey the law and resist.
If you have seen my comments in the last several days [I am having a nightmare with a keyboard] you will notice I have a suggested plan where we, those who oppose the ongoing invasion and conquest, can intervene to make “our” case. One of the first large cases where I was a minor participant fresh out of law school involved a huge group of municipal utilities that were far larger in every measure than the electric cooperatives which benefited by extremely low cost power and energy from US government dams and generators. The municipals sued the government, which really didn’t care who got the electricity as long as they got the paltry non-competitive price (Instead of selling the power on competitive bid it was sold at or below cost just to dispose of it). Had the cooperatives not intervened, possibly as many as a thousand of them, the municipals would have taken so much of the power by apportionment it would be worthless to all who received it. I was fired before the case was concluded. But I did learn why intervention can be worth considering in preference to Amicus briefs that leave the work of real advocacy to others. The best way to make sure something is not done is to leave it to someone else.
BTW I have a ruling where the state supreme court determined that *all* attorney-client privilege died because of the “client’s” conduct. Hence I still have my license and little else.
Brenda says
This is a good one “he acted in self-defense?” Against an unarmed woman in PJ’s? Oh, give me a break.

UNCLE VLADDI says
Willful negligence is criminal negligence.
Crimes which result in murder can lead to their perpetraitors (yes I spelled it that way on purpose) also being charged with murder, at least as accessories.
Frank Anderson says
Uncle, it would be amazing to me if any state charges are brought against anyone because of the corruption and indifference that permeates state government. Under federal law, and dual sovereignty, civil rights were violated under color of law by a conspiracy of state officials. Under 18 United Stat5es Code Section 2, anyone who “aids, abets, counsels or acts in furtherance” is equally guilty of the crime. There is no need under federal law to work through the accessory maze of before and after the fact or other qualifiers. Now find a prosecutor?
Gjallarhornet says
Morale to be learned from the Minnesota debacle is:
1) Minority quotas for office is a silly idea
2) Islam is an even more silly idea.
3) The Somalis have a long way to go and many, many steep learning curves ahead of them.
The conclusion for the authorities should be pretty easy to make. Somehow, I still fear that that they will err and conclude that what Minnesota needs is more armed, culturally illiterates rush-hired into police positions they are not even remotely competent to handle, in order to shoot more citizens while financed by the tax payer.
Carmelo Cordina says
Lets skip these comment and face the truth. This guy should have never been a police officer let alone carry a fire arm. He should now face our law for killing this woman. I hope he serves a lengthy prison sentence
PATRICIA KOENIG says
A nervous, jumpy new police officer who does not respect women. The police chief and mayor should have not hired that officer. He was obviously a crisis waiting to happen…and it did with the killing of the innocent Australian woman.
Frank Anderson says
P.K. in the past “intervening criminal conduct” might shield the people who hired and equipped him to commit the killing to escape being sued and found liable for damages under “respondeat superior” (sp?). But there are several cases in the last decade that indicate the ICC defense is very weak in wrongful death cases.
