“When other officers committed such acts it wasn’t ‘Norwegian’ or ‘German’ or ‘white’ or ‘Protestant’ or ‘Catholic’. All of a sudden it is a Muslim problem. I think it is racist, it is unacceptable.” “Unacceptable”? Really? People expressing their opinions is not to be allowed, Mr. Warsame? The unpleasant fact is that Mohamed Noor was […]
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 […]
Muslim cop tells friends, not investigators, he was “startled” by unarmed woman he killed
Now he feels as if his colleagues have thrown him under the bus. But it isn’t hard to understand their reluctance to stand behind him. Officers ought to be able to stand being “startled” without opening fire. This revelation only makes it more likely that Noor was only on the force to head off “Islamophobia” […]
Minneapolis: Muslim cop who shot unarmed woman refuses to be interviewed by investigators
And so the questions just grow more intense. There is still no evidence that Noor is a jihadi or that this was a jihad attack. But this does seem to be yet another manifestation of the fear of “Islamophobia” charges resulting in a Muslim being placed in a position for which he was not qualified […]
Washington Post: After Muslim cop shoots unarmed woman, Muslims “brace for backlash”
“Already, hateful posts criticizing Islam and sharia law are filling social media in response to the police shooting.” That there needs to be a public discussion about Islam and Sharia law doesn’t enter into the Post’s mind. As I said yesterday, “We don’t have any indication at this point of why Mohamed Noor killed Justine […]
Minneapolis: Muslim cop who shot woman in cold blood had three complaints against him
We don’t have any indication at this point of why Mohamed Noor killed Justine Damond. There is no evidence now that he is a jihadi or that this was a jihad attack. But with three complaints against him in two years, he seems at very least to be dangerously reckless and/or incompetent. His presence on […]
