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 […]
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.

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 […]
