Mohamed Noor, who joined the department in March 2015, reached over and shot Justine Damond, 40, multiple times from the passenger seat of his squad car while she spoke to his colleague on the drivers side in a back alley.
Noor, 31, who is the first Somali-American police officer in his precinct, has in the past been personally praised by Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges.
I dont like to use my phone for this , but a quick search turned up less than 16000 total murders in 2015, and 45 million African Americans living in the US. Do you realize how irrelevant your percentages are? You want to discriminate against 44.992 million black people because 8 thousand are murderers? (probably less because some are likely repeat offenders)

Oh and I seem to recall you dismissing rape claims, 6 times more of a problem than murder, the most recent non ong stat I could find says 71% committed by whites, despite 63% of population, should I assume all whites have rapist tendencies?

New details emerge in death of suspect killed by Bexar County sheriff’s deputies
two Bexar County sheriff’s deputies decided they would not let the incident drag on and
that they would follow a supervisor’s commands to “do whatever you have to do,” according to court do ents.
Just as Flores had seemed to stop his erratic behavior — who earlier had tried to stab the deputies, took away a police Taser and came close to getting a deputy’s AR-15 rifle — and
raised his hands above his head in what appeared to be surrender,
the deputies agreed on “ending this” and opened fire, one after the other,

Feds Crack Trump Protesters’ Phones to Charge Them With Felony Rioting
Officials have cracked the locked phones seized from protesters at the inauguration—and may be planning to use browsing data and texts against them.
Officials seized Trump protesters’ cell phones, cracked their passwords, and are now attempting to use the contents to convict them of conspiracy to riot at the presidential inauguration.
Prosecutors have indicted over 200 people on felony riot charges for protests in Washington, D.C. on January 20 that broke windows and damaged vehicles.
Some defendants face up to 75 years in prison, despite little evidence against them.
But a new court filing reveals that investigators have been able to crack into at least eight defendants’ locked cell phones.
Now prosecutors want to use the internet history, communications, and pictures they extracted from the phones as evidence against the defendants in court.

‘We’ll never be the same’: How a hydroponic tomato garden inspired cops to raid a family’s home
Bob found himself flat on floor, hands behind his head, his eyes locked on the boots of the officer standing over him with an AR-15 assault rifle.
“Are there kids?” the officers were yelling. “Where are the kids?”
“And I’m laying there staring at this guy’s boots fearing for my kids’ lives, trying to tell them where my children are,” Harte recalled later in a deposition on July 9, 2015.
“They are sending these guys with their guns drawn running upstairs to bust into my children’s house, bedroom, wake them out of bed.”
Harte’s wife, Addie, bolted downstairs with the children. Their son put his hands up when he saw the guns. The family of four were eventually placed on a couch as police continued to search the property. The officers would only say they were searching for narcotics.
Addie had a thought: It’s because of the hydroponic garden, she told her husband, they are looking for pot. No way, Harte said, correctly reasoning marijuana wasn’t a narcotic. And all this for pot?
But after two hours of fruitless search, the officers showed the Hartes a warrant.
Indeed, the hunt was for marijuana. Addie and Bob were flabbergasted — all this for pot?
“You take the Cons ution, the Bill of Rights, all the rights you expect to have —
when they come in like that, the only right you have is not to get shot if you cooperate,”
Harte told The Washington Post this week.
“They open that door, your life is on the line.”
Not only were the Hartes upstanding citizens with clean records, they were also both former Central Intelligence Agency officers.
And they were not marijuana growers.
Rather, the quick-trigger su ion of law enforcement had snagged on — it would later turn out — tea leaves and a struggling tomato plant.

The Police Dept. Trump Told To Be More Violent Just Had A Cop Arrested For Raping A Prisoner
it was revealed that a policeman of this very police department had been arrested literally the day before Trump’s speech for raping a woman who had been brought in on traffic charges.
Not for any kind of any real crime. Nothing that hurt anyone, not any kind of morally reprehensible act – traffic charges. The simple violation of arbitrarily defined civil regulations for vehicle operation specifically designed to produce revenue.
The FBI report states that Officer Christopher McCoy of the Suffolk County Police was arrested for the following heinous act:“Her attorney Brian Egan said she was taken into custody then searched in a way that
“involved the grabbing of her chest area.where?
Jane Doe was transported to the First Precinct in Wyandanch [Suffolk County]. During arrest processing, while McCoy and Jane Doe were alone in the precinct’s juvenile room,
McCoy forced Jane Doe to perform oral sex.”McCoy, a ten-year-veteran, admitted to the crime. The FBI is now trying to determine who else he might have raped over the years.

After President Trump asked cops to rough up arrestees in their custody, he wrote in yesterday …
I’m ing furious.
This two-bit gangster, would-be dictator just set police-community relations back by a quarter of a century.http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/...+%28TPMNews%29
“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over,” he mimicked an officer putting a handcuffed person in the back of a squad car, the officer’s hand over the suspect’s head.
“Like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody? Don’t hit their head?”
“I said, you can take the hand away, OK?” he concluded, to laughter, and then loud applause.”
The reaction of officers in the room to the President’s words as described is troubling and embarrassing.
Any officer who causes injury to a person in custody is open to
internal disciplinary charges,
criminal Assault charges,
Official Misconduct, and
Federal civil rights violations,
as well as civil liability.
This is NOT the Wild West, as POTUS seems to imagine.
Police Officers are not judge and jury. We do not meet out punishment. Every person has the cons utional right to a presumption of innocence.
We are authorized to use minimum force necessary to take a person into custody.
Once in custody, police are responsible for the health and well-being of the arrestee.
I would direct the POTUS to the definition of the word “custody”
This anonymous cop makes reasonable, THEORETICAL points, but he must know cops are almost always totally immune from abuse and murder of arrestees, prisoners.
5 magic words: "I feared for my life"
Although I get your point, what percentage of the population are murders in general?

Trump says mystery biker can fix Chicago crime in a ‘couple of days’
CHICAGO — President Donald Trump on Friday repeated his claim that he last year identified a mystery Chicago cop to Mayor Rahm Emanuel who could solve the city's crime problem in "a couple of days."
But the president told an audience of cops on Long Island, N.Y., that he never heard back from Emanuel —
a claim disputed by the mayor's spokesman Adam Collins, who said Emanuel never received the name.

Sessions cites mysterious 'task force' as justification for his racist, anti-immigrant policies
, Sessions is far more focused on accomplishing his ends and he's created a so-called Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety that he is crediting for many of his policy changes at the Justice Department. But who exactly is on that task force and
what supposed expertise they're employing to reach their conclusions is pretty much a total mystery,
writes Mother Jones' Pema Levy.
The Justice Department has declined to disclose the task force’s
membership,
its meeting agendas, or
its recommendations to the attorney general.
The task force was slated to deliver
a report to Sessions last week, but it has not been made public.
Instead, the group supposedly behind some of the Trump administration’s most consequential policy moves
remains an almost complete mystery.
The involvement of Cook, a proponent of harsh sentencing and a foe of criminal justice reform, was a signal that the group would take a hardline stance on law enforcement.
Here's a glimpse of the reforms Sessions has implemented at the direction of his mystery task force:
- Sessions sent a memo instructing US attorneys to pursue federal gun charges that carry mandatory minimum sentences whenever possible;
- heannounced a policy to force local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials;
- he announced the department would increase its use of civil asset forfeiture, which allows police to seize private property and cash from suspects without even bringing criminal charges against them.

Trump’s Attorney General Just Threatened To Arrest Reporters If They Don’t Give Up Their Sources
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that there were “limits” on press freedoms and that he would be “reviewing” the Justice Department’s policies on subpoenaing reporters – essentially forcing the brave journalists leading the resistance to give up their sources or face prison.
The notorious racist went on to say that more resources would be spent fighting the leakers
and that he “will not hesitate to bring lawful and
appropriate criminal charges against those who abuse the public trust.”

Oligarchy, prison-for-profit division, extorting longer, more prison terms.
Private prison demands New Mexico and feds find 300 more prisoners in 60 days or it will close
Core Civic isn't making enough money after sentencing reforms
The nation’s second-largest private prison corporation is holding New Mexico politicians hostage by threatening to close unless the state or federal authorities find 300 more prisoners to be warehoused there,
it will close the Torrance County Detention Facility and lay off more than 200 employees unless it can find 300 state or federal inmates to fill empty beds within the next 60 days,”
a privatized prison by an operator that has been sued many times for sexual harassment, sexual assault, deaths, use of force, physical assaults, medical care, injuries and civil rights violations.
This is a perfect snapshot of what’s upside-down with privatization: the lack of economic opportunities and politicians who genuflect at providing jobs, regardless of the larger social implications, pushing law enforcement into the dirty business of ramping up arrests and convictions so private firms and shareholders can make more money.
The statement by county officials said that most of the 700-bed facility’s prisoners were federal inmates. Company officials in local meetings said federal sentencing reforms has led to a shrinking prisoner population.

no worries, racist J-Beau is on the case, more prisoners, maximum sentences coming up soon.
