Mpls cop shoots, kills Australian woman

[ChristianAnarchist]

This Minneapolis situation is beyond ridiculous. When the city forks out a truckload of money for body cams, it seems to me that the least the officers could do is turn them on when responding to a call. Sheesh.

Another couple of million for "training" ought to do it...

The Minneapolis mayor announces the police chief will be stepping down over this, before she is run off by angry riff-raff peasants protesting :

Meh. More of the same musical chairs game where nobody actually loses a chair.

I want to see a police chief that actually beat the living crap out of an officer for something like this.

Should be how it is -- instead chiefs and other supervisors are all "buddy-buddy" with subordinates. You kind of have to wonder why they even have a military-style ranking system, it sure as hell isn't for accountability .

They are saying that she 'slapped' the car before approaching the window. So you see...."She did it to herself."

A woman approached the back of a Minneapolis police car and "slapped" it shortly before an Australian woman was shot and killed by an officer, according to a search warrant filed by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

The search warrant obtained by Minnesota Public Radio doesn't specifically say that the woman was Justine Damond, but: "Upon police arrival, a female 'slaps' the back of the patrol squad ... After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley."

the female became deceased

Wow, that takes that "curious wording" skill to a whole new level.

Officer Noor has declined to be interviewed by BCA agents at this time.

You see? Even Especially cops know better than to talk to cops ...

The officers immediately exited the squad and provided medical attention until medical personnel arrived.

Heroes.

I saw on some gun board a deputy talking about how this sort of cop first aid for people they shoot is considered "PR compressions" -- something that looks good on video and probably does more harm than good.

Freeman to activists: No evidence to prosecute officer in Justine Damond shooting
Hennepin County attorney says investigators "haven't done their job"

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said Wednesday that he does not yet have the evidence to file charges against a Minneapolis police officer in the shooting death of Justine Damond, blaming a lack of evidence and investigators in the case that “haven’t done their job.”

Freeman made the candid comments during a union event after being confronted by activists, who recorded the interaction. They asked Freeman why it has taken so long for him to announce a charging decision on whether officer Mohamed Noor was justified in shooting and killing Damond on July 15.

“Fair question. I’ve got to have the evidence, and I don’t have it yet,” Freeman responded. “Let me just say it’s not my fault. So if it isn’t my fault, who didn’t do their job? Investigators. They don’t work for me. They haven’t done their job.”

Freeman said coming to a decision “is the big present I want under the Christmas tree.”

Damond’s family is “deeply distressed and unhappy” following Freeman’s remarks, said Bob Bennett, the attorney representing the family.

“We expected a quality investigation that would be fair, complete and accurate, and apparently that hasn’t happened,” Bennett said.

Oh well. Just another day, another statistic. Carry on.

There is a dead woman. We have a body. We have a murder weapon. We know who fired the gun and murdered her. What more evidence does this DA need?

 

[RJB]

In some ways you can understand why the prosecutor would hesitate.

During the dangerous course of a police officer's duty, such a conviction could make an officer hesitate for a moment before shooting an unarmed woman in the future. How safe would the streets be at that point?
