“Noor, no longer a police officer, is scheduled to face a jury on April 1 in Minneapolis.”
Betsy Hodges, the former Mayor of Minneapolis, should also face a jury for this, for this tragic incident is ultimately her responsibility. But she won’t.
Identity politics kills. If there is any lesson to be drawn from the killing of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, that is it. The city of Minneapolis was so eager to have a Somali Muslim police officer on the force that it hired a man who had been found incompetent to hold the job. Even worse, Minneapolis officials did not fire him even when he proved that he was indeed unfit to be a cop.
Fox News has reported that “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.”
Not only that, but “[Mohamed] 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 psychiatrists added: “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 he was hired anyway. The foolishness of that decision became clear almost immediately.
“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.”
The Minneapolis Police Department and city officials wanted Mohamed Noor to succeed so badly, he was placed on and graduated from a fast-track program to get onto the force in the first place. He was the first Somali Muslim on the Minneapolis police force; in 2016, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges expressed her excitement about that fact: “I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department. 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.”
Hodges wasn’t excited because Mohamed Noor had the skills necessary to become a fine police officer. She was only excited because he represented a religious and ethnic group that she was anxious to court.
His competence as a police officer was always secondary to his ethnicity and religion.
Thus he remained on the force even though 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 the indications of Mohamed Noor’s unfitness to a police officer mattered to Minneapolis officials. They had too much invested in his success to acknowledge that their exercise in diversity and multiculturalism was a miserable failure. Noor was a symbol of our glorious multicultural mosaic. He was a rebuke to “Islamophobes” and proof that what they say is false. He was, for Minneapolis authorities, nothing less than the triumph of their worldview.
Apparently there was nothing whatsoever he could have done to be removed from the police force — until he killed Justine Damond. But even then, he remained on the force for months after the shooting. Hodges and other Minneapolis officials should be held responsible for this. But they won’t be.
“‘He fired with tragic accuracy’: U.S. cop who shot dead Australian woman in her pyjamas after she called for help ‘intended’ to murder her, lawyers say,” Australian Associated Press, December 1, 2018:
Prosecutors are trying to bolster the murder charge against the former Minneapolis police officer accused of using ‘tragic accuracy’ to shoot dead Australian life coach Justine Damond Ruszczyk.
Mohamed Noor initially was charged with third degree murder and manslaughter in the second degree, but prosecutors have asked a judge in Minneapolis to add a more serious second degree murder count.
Damond, 40, formerly of Sydney, was shot dead as she approached Noor’s police vehicle in an alley behind her Minneapolis home just before midnight on July 15 last year….
Prosecutors alleged Noor ‘knew exactly what he was doing and that he intended to do it’ when he shot from the passenger seat of his police vehicle, across his partner in the driver’s seat and out the car window hitting Damond in the stomach.
‘That is probable cause for second degree murder,’ prosecutors wrote.
‘The circumstances surrounding the crime show that the defendant acted with the intent to kill….
‘He fired with tragic accuracy, managing to send a 9 millimetre bullet across his partner’s body and through the narrow space of the open driver’s side window….
‘As a trained police officer, the defendant was fully aware that such a shot would kill Ms Ruszczyk, a result he clearly intended.’
Noor, no longer a police officer, is scheduled to face a jury on April 1 in Minneapolis.

He needs to be under the jail..Murder is Murder..He didn’t need to be a Police officer or citizen here in the first place. I hope they THROW the book at him!! We need to Deport All Solmali here..

A SUPREMACIST SHOULD NOT HAVE A GUN or a BADGE. A TOXIC NARCISSIST SHOULD NOT BE IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE.
Islam is a SUPREMACIST IDEOLOGY and Islam promotes GROUP NARCISSISM: ”
“Diversity” hiring often leads to disastrous results: unprepared candidates, bigoted candidates, candidates with poor judgement, bad people skills, narcissistic leadership style (you can’t fire me, because I’ll call you a racist), seriously BAD DECISIONS, harassment of the employees by someone with a toxic narcissistic attitude, etc.
Jon says
Well said ..thanks..JK.Brisbane Australia.. The victim was an Australian ..
gseattle says
Agreed.
And it’s likely the rape Justine was reporting was known by Mohamed Noor to be at the house of a fellow Muslim. Treating women like dogs is very important in Islam. Or else he shot her dead simply for not wearing a hijab.
But there is a deeper truth, and perhaps it is time we stop ignoring it?
The hair-trigger temper reported in Noor is classic toxoplasma gondii infestation in the brain.
Every Arab from S.Arabia etc could be infected and they spread it to Africa etc.
It could help explain how such a stark raving insane “religion” could exist in the first place.
gravenimage says
gseattle, there is no reason to suppose that the violence one finds in those from Dar-al-Islam mas a medical basis. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is Somalian, just like Noor–and she is not violent. The difference is that she has left Islam.
And one finds the same in reverse–converts to Islam, including those in the West, are just as violent as their coreligionists who have been Muslim for generations.
While it is true that much of the third world suffers from endemic health issues, the main problem with Muslims is Islam and its teaching of violence.
Two other problems with the toxoplasma gondii theory–this is common worldwide, and does not appear to be more prevalent in Muslim countries.
And while it has been linked to some behavioral changes, violence is not specifically among them. Those infected seem less cautious, and less aware of danger. They would over all be more apt to wind up the victims of violence than to propagate it themselves.
Lichen says
I think that’s a stretch – as a former veterinary professional, I can tell you that toxoplasmosis is rare in humans and is not easily spread. It also excuses what is a fundamental flaw in Islamic culture. They are not “ill”… they are simply people who tolerate violence and consider violent temperaments in males a virtue. It’s that ugly and that simple.

Has anybody dared to check the IQ level of the misfiring RoboCop from Somalia?
Of course not: This would be islamophobic (besides revealing).
Very mysterious – nobody may talk about the average IQ level of non-caucasian peoples, even if easily looked up on the internet.
b.a. freeman says
IQ is a bogus measurement indicative of almost nothing, and is not under discussion here because IQ does not kill people, but pious muslims *do*. race is not a good reason to hire and fire people, and never has been. how about we just let people live their lives as they see fit, worshiping (or not) as they choose, regardless of their skin color, height, weight, sexual preferences, or any other physical characteristics or beliefs, and let the chips fall where they may? the founding fathers were *definitely* not perfect, but they got the part about the government right. the only thing that needs to be prevented is dangerous ideologies (like islam) that make people want to get rid of our freedom so that *they* can tell everybody what to do.
Brett_McS says
IQ is correlated with a lot of traits, not just solving puzzles. It’s a good indicator of success, generally. Also, low IQ is correlated with tendency to violence.
smorris says
Well, the problem here is that while most of us are content to live and let live, Muslims cannot. Muslims are commanded by their “faith” to convert, enslave or murder non-Muslims. The only reason we don’t see more of this is because not all Muslims are as devout as others. Those who are practicing and devout are the ones who will kill. They do it all the time This is why numbers are important. The smaller the percentage, the “weaker” and less likely to strike. Your theory would probably work for all the other religions on the planet, but when Islam comes into play it will never work. Too bad.
I have o doubt Noor will appeal if convicted of anything, and in all likelihood the new Attorney General will do all in his power to help him.

IQ is a ration of “mental age” to chronological age, and sounds like a reasonable mesurement. the problem is determining the “mental age,” because there isn’t a physical law that determines such a thing, nor is there even a guarantee that such a thing exists. i can make up fake characteristics and measure them all day long, but unless i can show some connection of the characteristics to reality, it’s just juggling numbers.
if, OTOH, U are looking at something that is both definable and measurable, like birth defects due to some genetic mutation that spreads because of consanguineous marriages, then U’re on to something. otherwise, the best U can do is bayesian statistics, and U’re not likely to get definitive predictions or answers to any real-world questions.
let’s stick to discussing prevention of the mind disease (as opposed to brain disease) of islam.
smorris says
You have a problem there. While I don’t take IQ scores that seriously, there is actually a problem within the Muslim culture, stemming from consanguinity. Muslims are encouraged in many Islamic countries to marry close relatives, first cousins being common. This also extends wherever these cultures are encouraged and coddled, such as in Britain, Sweden or Minnesota. The result of repeated consanguine mating is birth defects, mental illness and low IQ. We might not like it, it might sound “racist” but it is science. You can go back thousands of years to look at the knowledge of these factors in animal husbandry. The science of genetics will work the same in general among humans as it does in the rest of creation.
gravenimage says
It is true that IQ is not an exact measure–but there *are* intelligence differences between individuals.
Although, certainly, not every person of low intelligence is at all violent.
Henry Mansfield says
The circumstances of this case seemed bizarre from the very first report, fitting the trial begins on April Fool’s Day.
Hopefully it won’t be a jury composed of Somalis.

It doesn’t need to be all Somalis in the jury. Just one will do.

We need more Muslim cops to further the shining example this officer has set for all communities Big problem it is not just Muslims cops that pull this crap.

show me one other case where a killing of a person calling for help got killed like this? I am betting u cant!
Renate says
You would think that incidents like this would destabilize society. How could the people trust the “authorities” , (police, politicians), again? Someone like Noor should NEVER has been allowed to be in a position of authority over anyone.
Undaunted says
Your community has officers just like Noor … and there are firefighters and paramedics who are just as bent on killing the infidel as he. Oh, and medical doctors and nurses.
Your community. Yes.

The mayor and others who hired him and kept him on the force after complaints were lodged, can be sued by the family of the woman. Since they knew about the problems with this creep…and didn’t do anything to stop him…they are liable for what he did in killing this lady. Her Constitutional rights were violated by this creep and they had the obligation to stop him before it got to that point.
According to https://politicalcult.com/mohamed-noor-partner-breaks-silence/, his partner was actually speaking with the victim, did not feel any threat from her, and was “stunned” when noor reached across him and shot her.
Of course he did it on purpose. In other situations, he could be charged with first degree…if there was even a minute of premeditation that could be proved against him.
Hopefully, the prosecutor is good at jury selection and will use a lot of discernment to get twelve citizens who won’t be afraid to say “guilty” on all counts.
b.a. freeman says
yowie! that’s one prosecutor who didn’t receive the islam memo; looks like he’ll have to be terminated with extreme islamic prejudice.
Gabe says
As I recall, the lady police Chief resigned soon after the murder. I suspect she had spent a lot of personal energy virtue signaling her approval of the worthless POS. She needs to be locked up, he needs to be euthanized.
PC, especially the rabid variety currently popular with the idiot US media will always create horror and death. IMHO
Fedup says
Low IQ or not, did he know right from wrong and he did but who else knew right from wrong are those that hired him. I see first and second degree murder here.

Muslims should also not serve in U.S. government positions that have access to classified military information or at any types of law enforcement.
Vicky says
Very reminiscent of American-born muslim Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. An Army psychiatrist, who murdered 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu akbar!”, in the 2009 carefully planned shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas. The worst mass murder at a military installation in U.S. history.
One of his victims was 21 year old pvt Francheska Velez from Chicago. Another, was her unborn baby. Francheska was savagely shot while pleading for the life of her baby.
In this instance also, fellow employees, other Army psychiatrists, issued warnings of Nidal’s growing expression of loyalty for the enemy, ‘islam’, and animosity for America’s killing of this enemy. He readily stated this in court.
Islamists are still being dumped into our neighborhoods even though attacks by them keep happening, The numbers of ambushed American victims continue to rise.
Yet treacherous U.S. military leaders, federal and state government officials, useful idiot law enforcement agencies, hospitals and judges bend over backwards to accommodate islamic cultists and their sharia law. All in the vile names of diversity and tolerance and multiculturalism.
Our government is at war with it’s own people.
somehistory says
This creep and his supervisor, who allowed him to stay, should have been sued by the families of all of the victims, including the unborn baby.
Even after he committed all of these murders, he was still getting paid. He should have had to pay that money to the victims and their families…the ones injured and the ones killed. He was an employee of the government and on a military base when he shot and killed them. He should have had to pay money for each one.
Carolyne says
IMO Somalis are the worst of the worst. They are not far removed from early forms of African bipeds. Having never developed with most other humans, they are unable to perform simple tasks, much less be trusted with a gun. Under no circumstances should we import more of these wild animals to roam our streets. Adding Islam to the mix only produces even lower forms of life. Have Somalis ever produced anything worthwhile? They should be deported.

Minneapolis prosecutors: Muslim cop who shot unarmed woman “knew exactly what he was doing” and had “intent to kill”

Lichen Craig says
This is the whole problem with wholesale mass Muslim immigration: cultural differences make them unable to assimilate and unwilling to play by our rules. The easy and quick temper, especially of males, is a Muslim cultural trait – hot tempers are masculine, not childish. Disdain for women is masculine. Hatred of white culture and Christian Western culture is admirable amongst the Minnesota Somali community. Minnesota, long a hotbed of radical Left ideas, is going to increasingly feel the pain of its idiotic hearts flowers and rainbows view of immigration. The Left in Minnesota – centered in urban areas – is going to have to answer to the people of that state eventually. I lived in Minnesota until 2003: the Somali and greater Muslim situation was just becoming more critical. I’m glad I had to the sense to leave.
Crystal says
Sure, I believe it. He reached across his partner and shot her. Did the police ever find the victim of the rape Justine called to report.
