Minneapolis Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman seeks to overturn guilty verdict

May 16, 2019 9:10 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Former Minneapolis Muslim police officer Mohamed Noor, “found guilty of murdering Australian life coach Justine Ruszczyk Damond claims he should be acquitted because he did not act “with a depraved heart” when he shot her dead.”

Noor appears to be acting with a “depraved heart” now. He has shown no remorse for murdering Damond and prosecutors already established that he “knew exactly what he was doing” and had “intent to kill”.

Robert Spencer previously noted about Noor:

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.’”

Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges, despite Noor shooting an unarmed woman, pulled the “Islamophobia” canard….

Mayor Hodges is reassuring Muslims and warning against “Islamophobia,” as if a non-Muslim police officer had shot an unarmed Muslim woman. But that’s not what happened. And in issuing this warning, Hodges is only reinforcing the false premises that led to the killing of Justine Damond in the first place: the idea that Muslims are a victimized, persecuted community that needs special consideration, such that an incompetent Muslim police officer had to be hired. This just ensures that in the future, there will be more Justine Damonds.

Entitlement is a feature with Islamic supremacists, and so, the brazenness of Noor in seeking to overturn his guilty verdict is nothing brow-raising.

“Mohamed Noor seeks to overturn guilty verdict over Australian Justine Damond’s killing”, The Guardian, May 14, 2019:

The former Minneapolis police officer found guilty of murdering Australian life coach Justine Ruszczyk Damond claims he should be acquitted because he did not act “with a depraved heart” when he shot her dead.

Mohamed Noor’s lawyers filed a motion for judgment of acquittal in the district court in Minnesota on Tuesday.

A jury found Noor was guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter after a three-week trial in Minneapolis last month.

“The evidence at trial failed to support finding that Mr Noor acted with a depraved heart,” Noor’s lawyers wrote in the filing.

“When officer Noor fired that night he was not acting with depraved mind seething with wanton passion to cause mischief.”

Damond, 40, formerly of Sydney, was home alone in Minneapolis just before midnight on 15 July 2017 when she heard a woman’s screams.

She called 911 and when Noor’s police squad car arrived in the alley at the rear of her home she approached the vehicle….

    There is no retribution allowed against a Muslim in Sharia law for the accidental or deliberate killing of a kafir. If a charge is even brought in a Sharia court, the Muslim killer may be fined per a schedule of indemnities chargeable in manslaughter. The ‘blood money’ for a non-Muslim man is half that of Muslim. The ‘blood money’ for a non-Muslim woman is half that again. Who said that Islam is egalitarian? Its double standards are seen clearly in the ‘blood money’ schedule.

    After Mohammed commanded a contract killing, he commented about the woman’s murder: “Two goats will not butt their heads over her.” – The Sira (p. 676) Muslim take the heartless example of Mohammed as their model. Mohamed Noor is acting heartless like Mohammed.

      Well put, Mortimer. I urge everyone to look again at his insistence that he did not act “with a depraved heart”. In other words, “I am not an infidel.”

      • mortimer says

        May 16, 2019 at 11:40 am

        Yes, Anjuli, but what does a ‘depraved heart’ actually mean?

        No one believes he would have shot a Somali woman approaching him covered in the Islamic veil. We see in this nothing more that RACISM and KAFIR-O-PHOBIC PREJUDICE.

        • Anjuli Pandavar says

          May 16, 2019 at 5:55 pm

          What I meant was that an infidel killing a Muslim is someone with a depraved heart and deserves to be put to death. A Muslim killing an infidel is not someone with a depraved heart, but a noble one, and does not deserve death. Instead, to put such a Muslim to death would be depraved. These starry-eyed, naive, self-righteous, ultra-virtue-signalling, useful idiots are paying for their delusions with other people’s lives. They do not begin to comprehend what a Muslim is, or what they’ve brought into their house.

          I was agreeing with you.

      mortimer says,

      “There is no retribution allowed against a Muslim in Sharia law for the accidental or deliberate killing of a kafir.”

      That is absolutely true. In some respects, this appeal will be a test case to see how far sharia law has crept into the US judicial system.

    Police and military recruiters have been told to ‘bump up’ diversity candidates whose test scores are failures or below the average. They are artificially ‘handicapped’ 13% extra points in order to push them over the average scores of candidates. This allows recruiters to fill diversity quotas.

    The result of ‘diversity hiring’ is massive incompetence over 40 years by substandard, less intelligent diversity candidates. A further result is that intelligent, competent people quit, causing massive, costly rehiring every year, because intelligent, competent people cannot work with incompetent, handicapped diversity hires.

    Please remember that if the defense lawyers even arguably fail to “zealously represent” the convicted defendant he will have grounds for a new lawyer to argue against his trial lawyers “ineffective assistance of counsel” on appeal. The most glaring example of this groundless appeal that I know of is Nix v. Whiteside, a US Supreme Court case that is available online, Wait and see how the court rules before getting too upset.

    the Minnesota law allowing 3rd degree murder is an unusual one but the judicial decision will turn on whether the perpatrator’s negative regard for life is or is not evidence of a depraved mind

    • gravenimage says

      May 22, 2019 at 1:21 am

      The concept of 3rd degree murder is common, martin–it is also known as “manslaughter”.

    The individuals who hired Noor should be charged with criminal negligence causing death, as all involved, knew that he did not cut it, yet contravened protocol that was in place to ensure checks and balances.

    The people who accepted him as an officer of the law should be imprisoned. They broke the rules and went against the advice of his psychiatric findings to make him a cop and even after he did other bizarre and unacceptable behavior they kept him on the force. This is what society is doing in regard to Islam, insisting on keeping them in special status above the law, until they start murdering people in the streets

    I hope that they keep the Loony in jail and increase his sentence as a mark of respect.

    How do we prove that Mohamed Noor did kill “with a depraved heart”?

    Is arguing with women in the police station, whilst on patrol and when off duty evidence of having an evil heart? Attacking women? Comments he made about women?

    He may not have killed her in hot blood but cold blooded killing is worse.

  12. A_M_Swallow says

    May 16, 2019 at 2:02 pm

    If Mohamed Noor gets away this this excuse every Muslim in the West will use the same excuse. It needs to be eliminated and prosecutors informed of any information needed.

      The police HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE FINED FOR HIRING INCOMPETENTS in the first place.

      If the HR departments got FINED when things go wrong, they would work INTELLIGENTLY to FIND THE BEST POSSIBLE CANDIDATES for every position and forget completely the BUNKUM of DIVERSITY HIRING.

    Retry, throw him in jail for x years then deport him back to Somalia.

    Noor considers white females too threatening, then he needs to stay away from the United States as much as possible.

    I usually don’t look at too many comments, but I do have to say that a lot of you need to put your tinfoil hats back on and stop listening to the voices. Oh, and yes, do the world a favor and do not telephone the police for any reason. I’m sure they would rather receive their pay than have to deal with you, oh and because they will take down what you say and then continually harass you because they have nothing else better to do, Yeah, that’s it.
