Mpls cop shoots, kills Australian woman

Prosecutors in Minnesota have asked the judge in the Mohamed Noor case to add a charge of Second Degree Intentional Murder against Noor, the fired Somali ex-Minneapolis police who shot and killed Justine Damond on July 15, 2017.
“Interestingly, the assertions made by the defendant in his probable cause brief that the defendant saw, observed, pointed at, aimed at and fired a single shot at Ms. Ruszczyk with the knowledge of what he was doing and who he was doing it to do also support the theory that the defendant committed an intentional homicide,” the court documents say.

The Hennepin County Attorneys Office declined to comment as there is a gag order in the case.

Noor’s trial is scheduled to begin on April 1.

An ex-Minnesota policeman on trial for murder said on Thursday that he opened fire on an Australian woman who approached his car to protect his partner who was struggling to get his gun.Mohamed Noor, 33, is charged in the murder of 40-year-old Justine Ruszczyk Damond, whom he shot through his patrol car window during the night of July 15, 2017 in a dark alley while responding to her 911 call to report a possible sexual assault near her Minneapolis home.
Noor testified in a Minneapolis courtroom that he shot Damond after he and his partner Matthew Harrity, who was in the driver's seat, heard a loud noise. Harrity had trouble removing his gun from its holster and "he turned to me with fear in his eyes," Noor said during his five-hour testimony.
At that moment Noor spotted a blonde-haired woman with a pink shirt near the driver's side window raise her arm, he said. Noor put his left arm across Harrity's chest to protect him from his own weapon before he extended his gun past the steering wheel and fired one shot, he added.
"My intent was to stop the threat and save my partner's life," he said, noting that it was a "split-second decision" based on his officer training.
Noor's defense attorneys called him to testify as their first witness after the prosecution rested their case on Thursday.
Noor pleaded not guilty to charges of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, which carry respective penalties of up to 25 and 10 years in prison.
Damond's family filed a civil lawsuit against the city and several police officers last month seeking $50 million in damages.
During the trial that began two weeks ago, Noor's attorneys have tried to show the Hennepin County District Court jury that Noor followed his training and had good reason to be on guard when he responded to Damond's 911 call that night.
He described his 29 weeks of cadet academy training in 2015, telling the court about the counter-ambush training he went through during officer survival week in the academy.
"The most important take for me is action is better than reaction," Noor said. "If you don't act, it's too late."

[FONT=&quot]Ex-MPD Officer Noor Guilty On 2 Counts In Justine Ruszczyk Damond’s Death[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — After about a day of deliberation, a jury has found Mohamed Noor, the former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Justine Ruszczyk Damond in 2017, guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in her death.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A day after attorneys made closing arguments, a jury of 10 men and two women declared their verdict for the 33-year-old officer Tuesday afternoon.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Damond, a 40-year-old dual citizen of the U.S. and Australia, called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home minutes before she was shot.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]On Monday morning, Attorney Amy Sweasy delivered closing arguments for the prosecution.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In part, she said no recovering or healing can be done because Damond is dead. She said mistakes were made and that Noor acted recklessly with intent to kill. The attorney added that Noor’s inexperience led to Damond’s death.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]On the other hand, the defense attorney’s closing arguments were dramatic. Defense attorney Thomas Plunkett yelled and slammed his hands on the desk, saying that’s how fast Noor had to react.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He asked the jury to judge Noor only by his actions in that moment because that’s all that matters.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Throughout the trial, the defense has argued that Noor and his partner, Matthew Harrity, were spooked by a thump or noise on their squad car — possibly Damond hitting the squad as she walked up.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]During his testimony, Noor explained how he heard his partner yell “oh Jesus” and reach for his gun.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“My partner feared for his life. He turned with fear in his eyes, he looked toward me and his gun was caught in his holster,” Noor said. “My intent was to stop the threat and save my partner’s life.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Following the shooting, Noor said he felt his “whole world come tumbling down.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“I couldn’t breathe. It’s like paralysis,” Noor said. “If I had known this was going to happen, I would never have been a cop.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Prosecutors have questioned the supposed noise, noting investigators didn’t find forensic evidence of Damond’s fingerprints on the car.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Marsh Halberg, a former prosecutor and well-known defense attorney, sat through much of the testimony. He says Minnesota law allows for the use of deadly force if an officer perceives a threat.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“You don’t have to perceive an actual danger, it’s an apparent danger,” Halberg said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In Noor’s partner’s testimony, Harrity explained to the jury how he thought the thump could be a possible ambush. He admitted he thought of his safety first.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Harrity then said he heard a “very mellow pop and saw a flash.” He said it sounded like a light bulb being dropped to the ground. Harrity said he didn’t know if he was shot but determined he was OK.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Harrity’s body camera footage was shown during the testimony. Damond can be heard in the video saying, “I’m dead, I’m dying.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Harrity told Noor to holster his gun and began giving Damond CPR. At one point in the video, Noor gives CPR as Harrity instructs him. Harrity is heard saying, “Keep fighting, ma’am. Stay with us.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Harrity testified their body cameras were not initially turned on the night of the shooting because Harrity said he didn’t think policy warranted it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo testified that both Harrity and Noor should have turned on their body cameras when responding to the call for help.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The trial began on April 1.[/FONT]

Good, you only get to shoot what you are sure you have a right to kill, you don't get to kill anything that startles you.

Guy couldn't get out his weapon to shoot so partner did it. Hmm why not just move the vehicle? I always thought walk away was supposed to be a good option. Fearing for safety or ones life should not automatically mean assassinating another individual. I thought automatic weapons were banned in the US. Cops are the automatic weapon.

I don't know. Every time I see a friend put their hand on a gun, I shoot the first woman that I see. It's a very natural reaction.

Sentenced to 12.5 years today -- his defense team had been asking that he serve one week a year centered around the victim's birthday

So , at least he'll serve a few years, in protective custody, with special treatment and benefits that the JustUs system will see to it that he gets

A veritable profit in post #18 stated this:

I'm cutting my emotional losses now by playing the odds.

Odds are that this foreigner (the woman) was an anti-gun, pro big government leftist who's first, and only, thoughts are to turn to government to solve or assist in every aspect of her life. Plus, she chose to live in the People's Republic of Minneapolis.

Therefore, I declare that we can put this in the enemy body count tally.

I could be all wrong.

But the odds are with me

A useless gash who is more dangerous dead than alive.
 
A former Minneapolis police officer was sentenced Friday to 12 years and six months in prison for the fatal shooting of an unarmed Australian woman who had been trying to report a crime.

Under Minnesota sentencing guidelines, second-degree manslaughter carries a penalty of 120-180 months, with the presumptive sentence of 150 months.
The judge noted that third-degree murder calls for a 150-month sentence, but given it is a lesser offense, she did not impose a sentence for that crime.
In addition to his imprisonment, Noor is now banned from using or possessing guns or explosives. He must pay a $6,000 fine and restitution yet to be determined, and provide a DNA sample.

Lord knows I've tried, oh, how I have tried...tried to embrace the concept that my fellow man, regardless of who he is where he came from, all he wants is freedom and liberty and to live life in peace.

I've come to understand that this is infantile nonsense.

20 generations of my family have created, in the face of enormous hostility and incredible odds and unspeakable hardship, a culture of enlightenment and individual liberty and prosperity the likes of which the world has never seen before.

I will do what I can to prevent that from being handed over to hostile, alien cultures of sloth, of ignorance, of dependency and of servitude.

(And yes, I am well aware of the fact that, this work begins in my own backyard. Half a dozen "People of Wal Mart" pictures proves that point.)
