JUSTICE:
Mohamed Noor, a Somalia-born Minneapolis police officer, has been found guilty of murdering Justine Damond.
Justine was an unarmed, white woman, who called 911 to report a possible sexual assault.
I never thought this day would happen.
#JustineDamond
A Minnesota jury has found a former Minneapolis police officer guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the July 2017 shooting death of an unarmed woman, CBS Minnesota reported. Mohamed Noor stood trial in the fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a dual U.S.-Australian citizen who approached his squad car minutes after calling 911 to report a possible rape behind her home.
Noor was acquitted of second-degree murder, the station reported.

Can't wait to see all those racist ant-police morons come along to justify this killing and call this verdict wrong and racist.
In a statement, the Somali-American Police Association (SAPA) criticized the jury's decision.
"Officer Noor is the first police officer in Minnesota's history to be convicted of murder while in the line of duty," the statement read. "SAPA believes the institutional prejudices against people of color, including officers of color, have heavily influenced the verdict of this case. The aggressive manner in which the Hennepin County Attorney's Office went after Officer Noor reveals that there were other motives at play other than serving justice."
"SAPA fears the outcome of this case will have a devastating effect on police morale and make the recruitment of minority officers all the more difficult."

You don't have to wait. They've already been there and done that.

To be fair..it is hard to recruit psychopaths with control issues when they are not allowed to kill people for no f---ing reason.
As a sidenote I do think there is a disproportionate amount of white officers murdering black civillians.

As a sidenote I do think there is a disproportionate amount of white officers murdering black civillians. Does not excuse the maniacal hypocrisy in this case.
according to the Post’s own tally only 2 percent of those who died as a result of police shootings were unarmed black men and boys.
According to the FBI’s “Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted” data collection, in 2016 law enforcement agencies that filed reports tallied 57,180 officers assaulted in the line of duty.
That number only represents data from 12,421 law enforcement agencies – about 70 percent of the 18,000 agencies in the country. So a more realistic estimate of assaults on police last year would be roughly 75,000.
