The first Somali Muslim Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor, who “shot and killed Justine Ruszczyk Damond after she approached his squad car, was sentenced to more than twelve years in prison.”
Robert Spencer weighed in about the dire impact of identity politics at play in Noor’s hiring…
This proves the truth of what I have said all along about this case: Mohamed Noor was not competent to be a police officer. If he had not been a Somali and a Muslim, he never would have been on the force at all. 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.’”
Following the shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges in a grossly insensitive move toward Noor’s victim, jumped to the defense of the Muslim community “that the real victims are not those who were killed or wounded, but the Muslim community” and she warned against “Islamophobia”.
“Noor sentenced to 12.5 years for killing Justine Ruszczyk Damond”, KTTC, June 7, 2019:
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (KTTC) – A former Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed Justine Ruszczyk Damond after she approached his squad car was sentenced to more than twelve years in prison Friday morning.
Hennepin County Judge Kathryn Quaintance issued the sentence in a Minneapolis courtroom. Sentencing guidelines called for anywhere between 10.5 and 15 years in prison.
Mohamed Noor read a letter to the court minutes before he was sentenced.
“I’ve owed Ms. Ruszczyk’s family for a long time. I apologize…for taking the life of such a perfect person,” Noor said.
“I took great pride in wearing a uniform,” he added.
Members of Damond’s family read victim statements to the judge before the sentencing.
“The day of July 15, 2017, was the last time I felt a since of happiness ,a sense of trust…that everything could be okay,” said Don Damond, who was engaged to Justine.Part of his statement took the form of a letter addressed to his late fiancée.
“I miss you so much everyday,” he read, holding back tears.
A jury convicted Noor on third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter charges in April after a tense trial. The defense argued he used reasonable force and acted in self-defense….
RichardL says
She was killed by identity politics: 0bama importing his fellow America-haters and a mayor wanting to have inbred imbeciles on the police force. The guy didn’t mean to kill the woman; he is simply lacking the cultural intelligence to operate in civilisation.
I hope that his congressman says something about this and then gets thrown out of Congress the next election. She gets under my skin like very few people. Hating the country that gave her protection is like killing your loving mother.
RichardL says
Sorry: Congresswoman: ilhan disgusting omar.
revereridesagain says
The only downside to Betsy Hodges having lost her bid for re-election in 2017 is that her vicious remark came too late to have been a factor in her defeat. Not that we can assume that such would have been the case in Minne-Mogadishu anyway.
As for Noor, there is always the hope that he might be “Whitey Bulgered” in the slammer by some kafir who doesn’t appreciate his status as a put-upon paragon of Muslim virtue.
b.a. freeman says
unfortunately, revere, there are lots of males (not men) of the cult of pieces in prison, and they not only congregate, they convert others (what’s *not* to like about islam for a crook? it was designed by a crook to attract crooks!). most kaffir crooks are individualists, and congregate more for defense; if U don’t mess with their gangs (as they see aggression, not necessarily as a rational person would), they’ll leave U alone … which means that because 99% of them don’t care about ms. damond’s murder, they won’t do anything to noor.
Halal Bacon says
“like killing your loving mother.” what else would one expect from a death cult that puts civilians in front of their tanks?
Montanna Bannack says
Killing your loving mother is actually quite common in the cult of the baby raping bandit. It’s usually for the sake of “honor”
Montanna Bannack says
“killing your loving mother” is actually quite common in Muslim cesspools. Usually it is for the sake of honor.
Bob says
This moron should have been given a death sentence, there are no extenuating circumstances or other BS that be accepted. He will get his full punishment while in the clink.
Naildriver says
Islam is our enemy and Muslims are its foot soldiers, “Sorry I killed this perfect person” what an insulting smug and fake apology — he should rot in prison.
There is so much evidence for Islam’s status as a menace and enemy to this country beyond this guys ‘cultural’ stupidity — that it boggles my mind that we had a president that actually praised and promoted it just after 9/11 while still embroiled in Iraq and Afghanistan. Treason as Obama’s should garner many more years or actually the death sentence as suggested by the Constitution.
mortimer says
A rephrasing of Naildriver’s comment is preferable: MUSLIMS SEE THE DIRTY KUFAAR AS THE ENEMIES OF ALLAH and thus MUSLIMS SHOULD SHOW ENMITY and HOSTILITY towards the dirty kufaar.
Mohamed Noor followed the protocols of AL WALAA WAL BARAA when he showed ENMITY and HOSTILITY towards kafir Justine Ruszczyk Damond.
Muslims are required to hate kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’. That hatred directed towards kafirs is also required if a Muslim is a policeman.
No mullah would be able to deny that all Muslims should hate kafirs … including cops.

Yes–a fake and sneering “apology”. Just disgusting.
Ellena Patricia Pickerd says
Agree he should be facing death on death row!!!. It’s the only way these killers will face up to the fact that they should return to the 7th century hellholes they sprang out from!!!!! They do NOT belong in civilization not male, female or child kick them outta America.
BTW Did anyone else see their pathetic protest march in Dublin, Ireland today? Again they were screaming allahu akbar & screaming & threatening America!!!
Guess none of the 7th century slimeballs have ever met or heard of the fighting Irish not to worry they soon will cos the good old Irish folk too are all over the world! Especially in New York!!!!! ??
Raja says
Sentence of 12.5 years is too little. Should have been 125 years. Some solace though as Islam will play victim in this case. US should just make the laws work otherwise it will be counter productive and Sharia will creep in.
Savvy Kafir says
Sharia will creep in unless our laws are CHANGED, so that we can rid the U.S. of Muslims via mass deportations. Anything less than that will ultimately fail.
gravenimage says
I don’t think we should change our laws for Muslims.
We should be vigorously enforcing the laws we do have.
Abraham Fox says
We don’t yet have a law that allows us to monitor ALL mosques. In addition, any mosque that is found to preach hate or store weapons should be destroyed. We don’t have a law like that either.
Ellena Patricia Pickerd says
Well said, couldn’t have said it better!!!!
Rufolino says
“Deportation” of Moslems will never happen, whether a good idea or not.
The idea is perceived as “politically incorrect” and will never be mandated by the majority .
The word still resonates with sinister implications as a result of what happened under Nazi rule.
Without deportations, it seems that the inevitable result will be eventual civil war, certainly in Europe.
mortimer says
“Diversity hiring” is currently of epidemic proportions. It has infiltrated virtually all human resource departments. It means in effect ‘handicapping’ diversity candidates by giving them an average of 13% additional percentages on their test scores. That way, a candidate from the bottom of the class can rise to the management level. THIS IS LYING … the human resources are being told to LIE that diversity candidates are ready for PROMOTIONS when they are at the bottom of candidates available.
The long-term harm caused is 1) those working with the diversity candidate see he/she is incompetent and must pretend that they are not incompetent 2) when the diversity candidate is promoted to a management role, the more competent candidates who did not get the job will feel demoralized working under an incompetent and quit the company 3) the company will have a drop out rate of 20% or much higher, thus requiring expensive recruiting and training of new candidates.
The company will end up paying BIG money in lawsuits and in HR and stress-related illnesses caused by the incompetence of handicapped diversity promotions.
All that for a bit of window-dressing. Expensive window-dressing!

Westman says
Unfortunately, the Fat Lady hasn’t sung yet and the Skinny Congresswoman won’t stop singing dislike of America, off key. The whine of Identity Politics will be winding up like a jet engine now that the defense team’s expected, “community service sentence”, was rejected. Maybe the leftist Hollyweird crowd will chime in and blame POTUS with some convoluted non-logic. Linda Sarsour, too?
One should expect there will be appeals until the sentence is overturned or the appeals are exhausted.
somehistory says
He called her a “perfect person”…sarcasm?
He “took pride in wearing the uniform>’….How about a little in performing on the job, providing protection, help, etc. to the wider community…being more than a symbol for his moslim brothers and sisters
He says he “owed” the woman’s family, and appears in his statement to feel some responsibility for her death, but his photo just shows anger and a pouty face. His eyes show the dead condition of the soul brought upon him by islam. Most likely he just regrets not getting away with his crimes.
The 12.5 years translates to around 7 to serve,
revereridesagain says
Of course he feels no sense of guilt. He killed a kafir female out on a public street, at night no less, no hijab, speaking to unrelated males without the escort of a husband, brother, father, or male cousin. What could possibly be wrong?
I wonder what Muslim-@$$-kissing ex-mayor Betsy Hodges would have had to say had the victim been her sister, mother, friend?
A_M_Swallow says
“took pride in wearing the uniform>” and if he did any work he risked getting the uniform dirty.
somehistory says
“Noor’s lawyers said he was reacting to a loud noise, and feared an ambush. They argued for a very light sentence, claiming that being sent to prison would not allow him to make amends for killing Justine Damond, and would only worsen the tragedy. They suggested that Noor serve one week in a minimum-security prison each year to “honor” Justine Damond’s birthday, and one week a year to mark the day of her death. They wrote:
“This sentence honors the memory of Ms. Rusczcyk and allows Mr Noor to continue to serve the city. Just as importantly, it mandates that Mr Noor will continue to consider his action and the great loss they caused.””

gravenimage says
Just grotesque, Somehistory–thanks for the link. And how are his lawyers suggesting he “continue to serve the city”–surely not by handing him back his gun and letting him back onto the force?
somehistory says
Those were my same thoughts, g. Did they plan to keep him as an officer, carrying his gun, so he could continue “serving” as he had been?
Better that he “serve” as he has been sentenced to do.

This man is unfit for a civilized society. We are committing suicide just like Europe. We’re only a few steps behind them.

Only 12 years? That’s it?
That’s a smack in the face of Justine and her family.
Noor needs to be physically kicked out of the United States, all the way back to Somalia.
Michael S Hayes says
Thats all the prosecutor asked for.
underbed cat says
Imagine his surprise while in prison, he may be accommodated for his Islamic faith. He may have access to his Quran and his Iman and prayer time as a federal protected right. Will this make him a “better” Muslim most likely it will. Will it make, his release after he serves a term that could be less than 15 years, him less likely, if he again became a police officer a potential issue? It will serve diversity again and reinforce an ideology that may have been an unknown issue but may never get resolved. I don’t really know but it may have come out that he was too impulsive to shoot in which he thought he was in danger although she did not have a weapon. There may have been other cases similar for non Muslims. I wonder will this dispute be a protester revenge calling card. However it goes, the next candidate may be Muslim who is now perfect with no issues ahead of time, will it stop these “accidents” I guess it depends how he reacts or acts.
However his statement about a “perfect person” that he shot, may not be suspect, unless he follows his religion or he shot a muslim woman uncovered, but connection may not be considered. Unless he admits it, we will never know. It was a overreaction, so he was unqualified. However a tragedy occurred.
lisa says
How much time the person who made the decision to hire Noor get in prison? The person who made the decision to ignore the psychiatrists, the officers, the evaluations? It was not a “city” as the article states. It was a person. Who was it? Did that person get charged? Give us HIS OR HER name. Interview THAT person. If i was the victims family, I would want to know. Noor pulled the trigger. He was just a tool. He is being punished for his crime. Now lets see who that person is that gave him the gun.

They would have only been satisfied if the murdering scum had been given a medal and promotion. Any prison time was, to them, injustice as moslims can’t be held guilty when killing a non moslim.

Are American prison sentences like the UK in that he’ll probably only serve half of what he’s been sentenced to?

Minneapolis: first Somalian Muslim cop sentenced 12.5 years jail for killing innocent woman
……………………..
Better than I feared, less than he deserved.
Nelson W. Lentz says
Noor killed this unarmed woman in cold blood; there was absolutely no justification for this, except that it fits in perfectly with the vicious misogyny that Islam is notorious for.
His 12.5 year prison sentence is a joke in bad taste and a disgusting miscarriage of justice; he should have been sentenced to death and executed by the slowest, most painful method imaginable, the whole execution video taped and shown on prime time TV so his coreligionists could see what their fate will be if they were to try to pull a criminally insane stunt like this.
joydbrower says
When I first read this account of the muzzie cop gone berserk (“normal” for them, of course!), I was totally disgusted and knew that he was just acting and being Muslim! But it is some justification that at least he wasn’t let go with a slap on the wrist; his guilt was established in a court of law. Maybe now the City fathers (& Mothers) will examine VERY carefully the personnel records of all the other Muzzies on the Minneapolis police force!!
UNCLE VLADDI says
I was once *almost* arrested by a Somali muslim cop. When I asked him why he had pulled me over, he said “We got an anonymous tip that you were driving on a street.” Then after I was cuffed, his sergeant arrived and asked him what he thought he was doing, and I was released with no charges. Still, the incident left an impression.Would it make any sense for the Diversocrats to promote hiring mafiosi cops? No. Then why muslim ones? Both the Mafia and Islam are global crime-gangs, not races of poor oppressed victimals.

Were you supposed to be driving on the sidewalk You are right about the criminal organizations. And they should be prosecuted under RICO…just as the mafia and the AB have been.

He wants to serve his sentence for murdering an innocent woman by spending two weeks a year in prison. One week around her birthday and one week around her death day anniversary, so that he can honour her life. How selfless of him. You can’t make this stuff up.

12.5 years is not nearly enough. Not mentioned was the $20m the city paid her family. So much for diversity and inclusion.

https://www.aclu.org/blog/criminal-law-reform/reforming-police-practices/what-officer-noors-conviction-says-about-racism
“The racial aspect of this case speaks volumes about criminal justice and criminal injustice in America today. Noor, who is Black, Muslim, and a Somali immigrant, is believed to be the only police officer in Minnesota ever to have been convicted for killing someone while on duty.”
“Their “blonde hair, pink t-shirt” question is particularly inflammatory, as it depends on the assumption that Justine Damond’s blonde hair signified a lack of dangerousness. Indeed, Damond – blonde, blue eyed, white – is the ideal victim by which prosecutors could take advantage of racist tropes to secure a conviction of Noor. “

He should have been convicted of 2nd degree murder. Twelve and half years, he will be out in 8 years with good behavior. I guess muslim lives are worth more then all others huh. What is HAPPENING???????

ACLU position every white cop who shots a person of “color ” the cop is guilty till proven innocent no matter what that person of “color” or other ” protect groups” was doing before they were shot if they were armed or acting violently towards cops or and civilians does not fall into ACLU position of justifiable shootings .A black cop shots an unarmed lady in a night grown who called about someone being sexual assault ,because that cop was “scared or startled “by her presents ,must be given some kind of pass when he is found guilty in a court of law the sole reason for this is because that cop is black and the woman blond with blue eyes.. The cops history of pulling a gun on a motorist for a traffic violation, his failing the psychologic test for being hired to be a police officer, the cities hired psychiatrist who said he should not be hired because he a danger to his fellow officer and the public all in public record ( a shake box cop, quick to anger , easy to startle ,poor decision making abilities in the psychiatrist report ) . ACLU only position was the cop was “railroaded” because he was black and the woman killed was blond with blue eyes in a nightie? The cities elected official murder this women by pushing with political correctness by hiring this” police officer”.
