Better yet, how about just disarm the cops who, like Mohamed Noor, are only on the force to demonstrate Minneapolis’ commitment to “diversity,” rather than because they’re competent to be police officers? Even better still, how about hire and fire cops based on merit, rather than for their value as trophy Muslims or Somalis on […]
Legal loophole means Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman may never face criminal charges
This is indeed likely, since Mohamed Noor was a golden boy, a showcased trophy: a Somali Muslim on the police force. He was kept on the force despite his manifest incompetence, and now it is likely that the Minneapolis political establishment, as committed as ever to playing identity politics with the force rather than hiring […]
Minneapolis: After Muslim cop shoots unarmed woman, investigators search her home
Were they looking for something they could use to exculpate Mohamed Noor, the “diversity” hire who shot her? After all, the shooting has cast into sharp relief the consequences of keeping incompetent cops on the police force for their symbolic value. Are Minnesota authorities trying to save face by finding a way to blame the […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The Islamophobia Industry Killed Justine Damond
The incompetent Noor was hired to fight nonexistent Islamophobia. My latest in PJ Media: Islamophobia kills. We just saw this again in Minneapolis, when a 40-year-old Australian woman, Justine Ruszczyk Damond, was killed by a rogue cop. It is a cherished fiction on the Left that there exists an “Islamophobia Industry,” a well-funded group of […]
Street signs after Muslim cop kills unarmed woman: “Warning: Twin Cities Police Easily Startled”
“The signs refer to a statement from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), which said police officer Mohamed Noor’s partner Matthew Harrity heard a loud noise before she was shot dead.” Noor also told friends that he was “startled” just before he killed Justine Damond. These signs are good, but a more accurate satirical sign […]
Minneapolis: Muslim pol denounces “Islamophobic” response to Muslim cop’s shooting of unarmed woman
“When other officers committed such acts it wasn’t ‘Norwegian’ or ‘German’ or ‘white’ or ‘Protestant’ or ‘Catholic’. All of a sudden it is a Muslim problem. I think it is racist, it is unacceptable.” “Unacceptable”? Really? People expressing their opinions is not to be allowed, Mr. Warsame? The unpleasant fact is that Mohamed Noor was […]
Minneapolis: Muslim cop who shot unarmed woman was fast-tracked onto police force
Mohamed Noor was a symbol of everything that Minneapolis officials valued most. They could point to him and say: See? We are not “Islamophobic.” We celebrate diversity. We love our Somali Muslim community, and when they see how they are loved, they will end all jihad activity, because violent jihad is just a reaction to […]
Lawyers for Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman call for autopsy to see if victim was on Ambien
Like so many Muslims before him, it looks as if Mohamed Noor has opted to defend himself by blaming the victim. According to Drugs.com, “Ambien (zolpidem) is a sedative, also called a hypnotic. Zolpidem affects chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with sleep problems insomnia). Ambien is used to treat insomnia….Ambien […]
Minneapolis: Witness may have caught Muslim cop’s shooting of unarmed woman on camera
Meanwhile, in her statement saying she asked Police Chief Janee Harteau to resign, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said: “For us to continue to transform policing — and community trust in policing — we need new leadership at MPD.” We need more than that. We need an apology from Betsy Hodges (and her resignation as well) […]
Protestors shut down Minneapolis mayor’s press conference, demand her resignation
Hodges should resign, but even that isn’t enough. Minneapolis, and other cities, need to discard their policies of hiring people such as Mohamed Noor not because they’re competent, but because they’re of a desired ethnicity or religion. Mohamed Noor was only on the police force because he was a Somali Muslim, and thus buttressed Minneapolis’ […]
