“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 […]
Minneapolis: Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman to plead self-defense
Self-defense? She was an unarmed woman in pajamas who approached the squad car window because she had called the police for help. This is a familiar pattern: Islamic supremacists always claim that whatever they did was someone else’s fault. Muzzammil Hassan, the Buffalo, New York moderate Muslim leader who beheaded his wife, claimed she beat […]
Minneapolis: Muslim cop who shot unarmed woman charged with murder, turns himself in
Islamophobia kills. We saw this again in Minneapolis, when a 40-year-old Australian woman, Justine Ruszczyk Damond, was killed by a rogue cop, Mohamed Noor. It is a cherished fiction on the Left that there exists an “Islamophobia Industry,” a well-funded group of propagandists who spread hatred of Muslims solely to line their pockets. This is […]
Father of woman killed by Minneapolis Muslim cop: “investigation was not done properly”
“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 […]
Police chief ousted after Muslim cop shot unarmed woman named Woman Law Enforcement Executive of the Year
The shooting of Justine Damond by Mohamed Noor should have been the occasion for a wholesale nationwide reevaluation of the idea that police officers should be hired and kept on the force on the basis of their race and religion, not on the basis of merit. Not only has that not happened, but instead, Janee […]
Minneapolis mayoral candidate Raymond Dehn proposes disarming cops after Muslim cop kills unarmed woman
Better yet, how about just disarm the cops who, like Mohamed Noor, are only on the force to demonstrate Minneapolis’ commitment to “diversity,” rather than because they’re competent to be police officers? Even better still, how about hire and fire cops based on merit, rather than for their value as trophy Muslims or Somalis on […]
Legal loophole means Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman may never face criminal charges
This is indeed likely, since Mohamed Noor was a golden boy, a showcased trophy: a Somali Muslim on the police force. He was kept on the force despite his manifest incompetence, and now it is likely that the Minneapolis political establishment, as committed as ever to playing identity politics with the force rather than hiring […]
Minneapolis: After Muslim cop shoots unarmed woman, investigators search her home
Were they looking for something they could use to exculpate Mohamed Noor, the “diversity” hire who shot her? After all, the shooting has cast into sharp relief the consequences of keeping incompetent cops on the police force for their symbolic value. Are Minnesota authorities trying to save face by finding a way to blame the […]
Muslim cop shot unarmed woman to death after woman “slapped” back of his police car
Is slapping the back of a police car now a death penalty offense? Was Mohamed Noor that easily startled, that he heard this sound and apparently started shooting almost immediately? Did he think this unarmed woman in pajamas was shooting at him? This bizarre claim about someone slapping the police car right before his shooting […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The Islamophobia Industry Killed Justine Damond
The incompetent Noor was hired to fight nonexistent Islamophobia. My latest in PJ Media: Islamophobia kills. We just saw this again in Minneapolis, when a 40-year-old Australian woman, Justine Ruszczyk Damond, was killed by a rogue cop. It is a cherished fiction on the Left that there exists an “Islamophobia Industry,” a well-funded group of […]
Minneapolis: Muslim cop who shot unarmed woman was fast-tracked onto police force
Mohamed Noor was a symbol of everything that Minneapolis officials valued most. They could point to him and say: See? We are not “Islamophobic.” We celebrate diversity. We love our Somali Muslim community, and when they see how they are loved, they will end all jihad activity, because violent jihad is just a reaction to […]
Lawyers for Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman call for autopsy to see if victim was on Ambien
Like so many Muslims before him, it looks as if Mohamed Noor has opted to defend himself by blaming the victim. According to Drugs.com, “Ambien (zolpidem) is a sedative, also called a hypnotic. Zolpidem affects chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with sleep problems insomnia). Ambien is used to treat insomnia….Ambien […]
Minneapolis: Witness may have caught Muslim cop’s shooting of unarmed woman on camera
Meanwhile, in her statement saying she asked Police Chief Janee Harteau to resign, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said: “For us to continue to transform policing — and community trust in policing — we need new leadership at MPD.” We need more than that. We need an apology from Betsy Hodges (and her resignation as well) […]
Protestors shut down Minneapolis mayor’s press conference, demand her resignation
Hodges should resign, but even that isn’t enough. Minneapolis, and other cities, need to discard their policies of hiring people such as Mohamed Noor not because they’re competent, but because they’re of a desired ethnicity or religion. Mohamed Noor was only on the police force because he was a Somali Muslim, and thus buttressed Minneapolis’ […]
Minneapolis police chief resigns over Muslim cop’s shooting of unarmed woman
“The recent incidents do not reflect the training and procedures we’ve developed as a Department. Despite the MPD’s many accomplishments under my leadership over these years and my love for the City, I have to put the communities we serve first. I’ve decided I am willing to step aside to let a fresh set of […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Justine Damond: Killed by “Islamophobia”
Political correctness put her in the way of a “nervous, jumpy” Muslim cop who took her life. My latest in FrontPage: A forty-year-old Australian woman named Justine Damond called 911 in Minneapolis Saturday night to report what she thought might be a rape; when police arrived, she approached the police car, and a Minneapolis police […]
Minneapolis police chief: Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman “very suited to be on the street”
“This officer completed that training very well, he was very suited to be on the street,” said Minneapolis police chief Janee Harteau. But this doesn’t seem to be true. His neighbor, Chris Miller, says: “He is extremely nervous … he is a little jumpy … he doesn’t really respect women, the least thing you say […]
Muslim cop who shot unarmed woman says he was “startled” by loud noise, but no nearby residents heard it
Mohamed Noor was on the force because he was a Somali Muslim. He was in way over his head. The story he has concocted to explain his killing of Justine Damond is already unraveling. “Family of US cop Mohamed Noor say officer mistakenly shot Justine Damond,” by Sarah Blake, Daily Telegraph, July 20, 2017 (thanks […]
After Muslim cop kills unarmed woman, Minneapolis mayor reassures Muslims, warns against “Islamophobia”
It is increasingly clear, as we learn about Mohamed Noor’s nervousness and jumpiness and lack of respect for women, and from his own account of events that he relayed to friends (that he was “startled” and reacted by opening fire), that Mohamed Noor was not cut out to be a policeman. He did not have […]
Neighbor of Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman says killer is “nervous…jumpy…has little respect for women”
“It looks increasingly likely Noor’s defence will be that he panicked and believed his squad car was attack after a loud noise — described by some sources as a banging on the car — and seeing a figure rushing in the dark towards them.” Weak defense. Officers ought to be able to stand seeing someone […]
