If officer Noor is charged with a serious crime, such as manslaughter, the Somalis will riot. Maybe even if he merely faces police department discipline.

It's possible, but only if stoked by Soros/BLM.

It's going to be interesting how this plays out. If it was an American woman killed, the politicians would have no trouble sweeping it under the rug. But, it is an international incident, and I wonder if pressure from that might make it harder to bury this incident.

My gut feeling (whatever that's worth) is saying that Noor is going to be charged and very likely convicted. The political shenanigans will be focused on how to protect the mayor and her PC policies from the fallout of the investigation into his hiring/training.

I thought the left hated all police, but I can see that they have the capacity to make some rare exceptions, given the right combination of factors.

^^^^^^

Not entirely unlike how they hate the military unless there is a LGBTQ********** cause to be taken up with a particular soldier.

This episode has a eerie quiet about it. From both sides.

It seems you are not considering the context.

The Leftist Lame Stream Media is quiet because there is nothing here that supports their agenda. An apparent bad shoot by a minority who was perhaps pushed through the process and out onto the streets to fit the Mayor's diversity agenda. "Oh Hell no, there is nothing to see here!!!" You are as likely to get national coverage of that as you are of a CCW holder stopping a mass shooting. The Left is likely frantically working to figure out their spin as they wait for more information or the other shoe to drop.

On the other side, quite frankly all the facts are not in and anyone who jumps to conclusions (even though they are likely correct conclusions) stands a good chance of being publicly pilloried as a racist bastard. The safer (and realistically the right) course is to wait until the investigation produces more information and then respond to those FACTS rather than publicly trashing someone based on HYPOTHETICALS.

Do we trust that the Mayor is not twisting every arm possible in an effort to cover the Mayor's rump? Heck no, we assume this as fact. We hope that the BCA will do a thorough, professional, and unbiased job and that justice will be fairly served based on the true facts uncovered. We don't really want to wait, but we have to. The conspiracy theorist in each of us may fear that things won't go as we hope, but we must hope for the best and wait.

New info from the prosecutor, but for some reason I can't get it into the thread.

I get a message that the post has to be reviewed …

link?

That's a questionable site IMO. The link is the issue.

Here's some of the text:

"A prosecutor in Minnesota says he expects to decide by the end of the year whether to charge a Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot a woman who called 911 about a possible sexual assault in her neighborhood…"

The end of the year? That seems to be a ridiculously long time.

They hope some of the adrenaline will wear down by then.

There really hasn't been much. Remember, she was white.

Sadly, you make a good point.

Any local elections happening soon? Maybe a mayoral race?

Yep. The crazy liberal mayor of Minneapolis is up for election in November. Her opponents range from over the top crazy liberal to just kind of crazy liberal.

Kind of like voting for arsenic or strychnine.

A cynical view of the case:

"In any case, the time clock is running on the time lapsed since the Damond slaying. Time enough for public passions to cool and memories dim. Noor, and his attorney, have helped make sure that happens by remaining stone silent with the media and the public about the killing."

"The deafening silence from Minneapolis prosecutors, even though Noor is Black and Damond White, is also really no surprise. The same rules apply as if he were an accused White officer. If prosecutors decide to take him to trial, they will have to overcome the inherent skepticism of jurors that cops break the law, and recklessly and criminally use deadly force. The presumption is that they are much more likely to believe the testimony of police and police defense witnesses than witnesses, defendants, or even the victims. Meanwhile, defense attorneys will file motion after motion on everything from the demand for a change of venue to a bench trial, without jurors. Even when the motions are denied, the clock is still running pending the decisions.

That time lapse again serves to put yet more time and distance from the killing and the public’s awareness and concern about it.

The even more daunting problem is that there is no ironclad standard of what is or isn’t an acceptable use of force in police killings. It comes down to a judgment call by the officer. The time-tested standard that is virtually encoded in law is that “I feared for my life.” This will be stated, massaged and repeated in every conceivable way by defense attorneys during their presentation. Noor has said that he heard a noise and that would be construed as a gun shot and that justified the use of his gun. The message being that the use of deadly force was both necessary and justified."
