MPD Officer Who Shot Woman Identified As Mohamed Noor
Strange how all the groups that usually throw complete hissy fits about this sort of thing are now completely silent.
Wonder if that's because there's no way they can turn this into a racial issue.

this sounds like an accidental shooting, not sure if that would entail "taking one for the team" but he certainly shouldnt skate in the incident either. (still waiting for more information before making an opinion though)@C.M. Funk said:

Officer Body Cams 'Not Turned On' During Fatal Minneapolis Shooting - Guest - 07-19-2017
Officer heard ‘loud sound’ before partner shot Minneapolis woman, BCA says; cop who shot her ‘declined’ to talk to investigatorsThe partner of the Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Justine Damond Saturday night told investigators that he heard a loud noise near their squad vehicle before the shooting, according to a news release issued Tuesday by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.Officer Matthew Harrity, who was driving the squad vehicle at the time of the shooting, told BCA interviewers on Tuesday that he and his partner, Officer Mohamed Noor, responded about 11:30 p.m. to a 911 report of an assault in the alley between Washburn and Xerxes avenues in south Minneapolis.
As they were driving down the alley in search of a suspect with their squad lights off, Harrity was “startled by a loud sound” near their vehicle, according to the BCA news release.
“Immediately afterward (Damond) approached the driver’s side window of the squad,” the news release said. “Harrity indicated that Officer Noor discharged his weapon, striking (Damond) through the open driver’s side window.”
Noor declined to be interviewed by BCA investigators, according to the news release. “Officer Noor’s attorney did not provide clarification on when, if ever, an interview would be possible,” the release said.
After the shooting, the officers exited their vehicle and provided first aid to Damond, who died at the scene of a single gunshot wound to her abdomen, according to the release. No weapons were recovered at the scene.
Harrity told investigators that he saw a white male aged 18-25 bicycling past the scene at the time of the shooting, who stopped and watched while the officers provided first aid to Damond. BCA agents would like to speak with this man, and anyone else who witnessed the shooting. They are asked to call 651-793-7000.
Both officers’ body cameras and their squad vehicle camera were off during the shooting.
The BCA noted in its news release that, while it is investigating the shooting at the request of the Minneapolis Police Department, it is not investigating whether the officers violated department policy with regard to these cameras.
This review will be conducted by the Minneapolis Police Department’s internal affairs unit, the news release said.
Noor has been with the department for 21 months, while Harrity has been with the department for 12. Both officers are both on standard administrative leave.
It was Damond, a 40-year-old yoga instructor from Australia, who had placed the 911 call that summoned the officers to her neighborhood after hearing what she believed was an assault near her home on the 5000 Block of Washburn Avenue South.
Damond’s family and Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges have expressed frustration with the pace at which information about the shooting has been released.
Hodges is scheduled to address the media about the shooting Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. during a press conference at Minneapolis City Hall.

I'm glad she's gone, should have been gone before this imo.
Hopefully Hodges is next. I can see lack of real leadership all over that women.
Would like to see RT back center stage on the MN political scene.
