Interesting situation. Shows how its rolling the dice with police. Funny that its the hispanic officer that was hell bent on arresting the hispanic girl and even suggested a cavity search.

Officer Muhammed Noor convicted of murdering Justine Damond. This is the man who killed Australian woman Justine Damond. Things of note. 12 officers refused to testify until compelled by a grand jury. The supervisor on scene turns off their body cam multiple times while on scene and appears to suggest that the officers heard a loud bang before shooting Damond. Both the prosecutor accuse the intial investigators of "active resistance" towards the investigation. They were eventually replaced.
Moral of the story is if you are an African immigrant policeman, don't shoot a middle class white woman in the middle of the night. This is a tragedy, but when you think that a police officer less than ten miles away from this incident in a different municipality put a bevy of rounds into an African-American driver in broad daylight and was acquitted, it does make one wonder.
I actually know the Hennepin County District attorney when he was a state legislator in the 1980s and I was on legislative staff, and he has turned into a real pud. He's in our Minnesota "Sons of Famous Politicians" Club. His constant bloviating on multiple issues--most notably police matters--has become sickening. I'm not totally on the side of law enforcement, but this case looks like they made the police officer in question a sacrificial lamb to avoid a civil lawsuit that was threatening to be filed against the Hennepin County Attorney's office. Shameful. Just shameful.
I might have to move there and from facebook you would see I am African-American. Should I be worried? I am not into anything, just my job that is it. Looking at into the Banking or Healthcare. Just holding things back because my kids do not want to be with their mom all the time. She is boring as they said and I believe them and say when they are with me they have a lot of fun.
I am screwed. I can make six figures in the cities or take less here in town or be a college teacher which I would not like but with good bennies.
I had a job at University of Minnesota but someone at the last minute with the same skills got it for 25k less. I was not happy. We, the firm that sponsored me, said I had it, were livid.

How was the police officer made into a sacrificial lamb? 12 police officers refused to testify against him. The initial investigators had to be replaced for not doing their job either willfully or are just incompetent. Then there was the sketchy search of her house for drugs, bodily fluids, and writtings indicating motives. I dont know what more could have been done to protect this guy. His own defense lawyer cited the bad investigation by the police as reasonable doubt in his closing arguments. He got good lawyers at the unions expense. Most people have to go through this with a public defender or mortage their wntire lives to pay a decent lawyer which you dont get bacj just because your innocent. This officer is facing a max of only 15 years and I would be surprises if he gets 10. He will probably be out in 5 years or less with a decent job waitijg for him from an ex-cop. He also wont go into general population which is bullcrap.
People are right about one thing, if the officer was white and the victim black the verdict might be different. The most telling things to me are the officers refusal to answer questions and picking a jury trial. Cops dont take jury trials unless they know they are ****ed legally. A judge would have convicted him 100%. As far as he knew he was shooting the victim.
Wheres the first half of this story.
