Jury selection could be interesting. Even in Hennepin County, the Somali population is probably only a couple percent of the total. A huge number of the refugees are kids, so the pool of potential eligible Somali jurors is fairly small.

But the percent of liberals could be quite high.

With all of the liberal police hating for the last decade this will be interesting to watch. Im hoping he is convicted.

Well no poop Sherlock! A very strong example should be made of this guy. Somali, white, brown, Black, purple, I don’t care. If you’re that clueless and unaware of what is going on around you and your response is to just whip out ’ole Roscoe and start blasting away at the drop of a hat, you should be buried under the jail. Hopefully this will encourage others to be more engaged and do a better job.

Now, the political flacks that pushed this unqualified individual through the system should be made an example of too. It is a shame that public hangings have gone out of style...

Justine Damond died after being shot by Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor on 7/15/2017, one year ago today. Noor, a Somali immigrant, was charged with murder, entering no plea at his 5/8/2018 court appearance, over two months ago. Since then, not a single word of news. The wheels of justice turn very slowly in Hennepin County, when the case is a hot potato.

Well the city is still dealing with the civil lawsuit, trying to destroy or alter all his field training records showing he was a "no go" as a police officer. I think they want to time this criminal trial for deepest darkest winter to limit the corresponding protests. It is kind of ironic the group protesting police shootings will probably be protesting any type of guilty verdict in this case.

The timing of the civil trial will occur once everyone who signed off on him being a police officer are safely out of office and all their assets safely shielded and protected.

Mohamed Noor trial is scheduled to begin in late September

The family of Justine Damond is seeking $200 million in damages over the 40-year-old's death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer last year.

The lawsuit filed on Monday includes among the defendants the officer who shot her, Mohammed Noor, his partner Matthew Harrity, former Minneapolis police chief Janee Harteau, current chief Medaria Arradondo, the Minneapolis Police Department and the City of Minneapolis.

Damond's father, John Ruszczyk, claims they violated the 4th and 14th Amendments when his daughter was shot dead by Noor, as he and Harrity responded to a possible sexual assault she had reported outside her home on July 15, 2017.

The lawsuit alleges both Noor and Harrity were "inexperienced" officers, with Noor having come through an MPD police cadet program that fast-tracks trainees into the force.

Sounds like the attorney sees a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

“MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — New court documents show psychiatrists questioned Mohamed Noor’s fitness for duty years before he shot and killed a woman from Australia.

Prosecutors say the former Minneapolis police officer’s evaluations from 2015 showed his indifference for human life, which prosecutors say led to his actions. During the evaluation, Noor self-reported that he disliked people, disliked being around people and was disinterested in interacting with people.

Also, months before the shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, Noor pulled over a driver who failed to use a a turn signal and “the first thing he did was point his gun at the driver’s head,” court documents said, citing police records…”

Is there a red flag larger than this?

This comes close: "Noor self-reported that he disliked people, disliked being around people and was disinterested in interacting with people."

Well I guess it is a good thing he didn't take up brain surgery as a profession.

Wow! It was more important to have him serve as an example of a Somali “assimilating” than to protect the lives of those he would interact with. Your government at work.

According to prosecutors, Noor was flagged by two psychiatrists during the pre-hiring evaluation in early 2015 after he exhibited an inability to handle the stress of regular police work and unwillingness to deal with people, according to the records.

The report went on to say that Noor was more likely than other police candidates to become impatient with others over minor infractions, have trouble getting along with others, to be more demanding and have a limited social support network. They showed he “reported disliking people and being around them.” And yet, since Noor exhibited no signs of a major mental illness, chemical dependence or personality disorder, he was deemed “psychiatrically fit to work as a cadet police officer for the Minneapolis Police Department,” the filing said.

Given the inconsistencies in the report, a civilian human resources employee followed up with the psychiatrist two weeks later, seeking clarification. The psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas Gratzer, stood by his recommendation.

Elsewhere in the filings, one training officer noted in a report that on Noor’s third to last training shift in the spring of 2016, he at times didn’t want to take calls, instead driving in circles when he could have assigned himself to them. The calls were for simple matters, such as a road hazard or a suspicious vehicle where the caller was unsure of whether the car was occupied.

In another instance, an officer noted that Noor told a 911 caller that he would follow up on a report of a possible burglar, but never did. The field training officer later said that it bothered her that Noor never bothered to check the area, because police are bound to “do our due diligence on this job.”

The documents also outlined the events leading up to the shooting, saying that Noor had gone from his off-duty job of working seven hours of security at a Wells Fargo branch to his shift which went from 4:15 p.m. to 2:15 a.m. the following morning.

Prosecutors said the shift included a report of a woman with dementia wandering at the area of 50th and Xerxes. An hour and a half later Damond would call 911 from the same location to report a woman in distress. In both cases, multiple 911 calls were made in an effort to have police arrive more quickly, and in both, the officers cleared the call in minutes without investigating further.

After responding to Damond’s call, Noor and his partner, Matthew Harrity, rolled down the alley with their guns drawn. They stopped at the end of the alley, when Damond apparently approached the vehicle and Noor fired his weapon.

Prosecutors said “there is no evidence” that Noor saw Damond or tried to warn his partner that he’d drawn his gun and was preparing to fire. Nor, they continued, did he attempt to tell “anyone to stand back, show their hands, or identify themselves.”

“He made no attempt to identify a threatening situation, let alone de-escalate one,” the motion said. If the defendant had made an inquiry into the circumstances, he would have realized Ms. Ruszczyk was an unarmed woman who had called 911 twice to report a possible crime, and who wanted to speak to him and Officer Harrity before they drove away, having conducted only the most cursory, less-than-two-minute investigation into her calls.”

If this officer had been a white male, he would have never gotten past the psych eval. Since he dovetailed nicely into a demographic, all of his red flags could be ignored. I hope the family reaps a huge judgement for the slaughter of their daughter at the hands of this garbage.

The city of MSP should’ve settled long before this saw the light of a courtroom. This guy will almost certainly go to prison, and the city will pay huge. Everybody looses...except the attorneys, of course.

Except the windfall will come at the expense of the taxpayers-not those directly responsible.

And perhaps the taxpayers deserve it this time (not all of them of course). After all, they voted in the people who are responsible for making so many misguided decisions. Then again, it's likely a majority of those voting for these asshats aren't actually paying the taxes, so I don't know.

This is the civil trial. Has Noor been exonerated by the police department or the AG’s office?

^^^^^^^

It’s actually the preparation for the criminal trial

I’m not opposed to holding people above him accountable, but we all know that won’t happen. If my daughter had been killed in such a manner, I wouldn’t give a rats ass where the money came from. In fact, if I could settle up one on one with the pos personally, I’d be willing to call it even.
