I'm genuinely surprised this isn't a topic yet. Granted, it may be in some other part of GT - but I rarely venture beyond CT. At any rate, it's a CT issue, for sure.
So a Somali immigrant, black PO, on the job for 18 months or so; shoots and kills an unarmed white female, who by all accounts was the reporting party in a noise complaint and was approaching the police car to tell the officers what she saw/ heard that prompted her to call police in the first place.
I'll let the investigation play out before I judge other cops but this sounds highly ****ed up.
But two thoughts come to mind regardless of the outcome of the investigation: A Somali immigrant is a Minneapolis cop? I'm no xenophobe but all examples I've seen thus far (like the Somali Atlanta cop that apparently can't shoot, or drive, or make a ****ing decision) are that hiring 3rd world immigrants as cops is a dismal idea.
Second thought, why are whites not rioting in the streets? Or, more significantly, why is the media not blowing up with headlines of "black officer kills unarmed white woman"? Race is apparently only allowed to be a card in one direction? In fact, if you look at the first link below, it's an article about this Somali cop shooting the white woman BUT THE VIDEO at the top of the article that auto plays is the Castille shooting.

"The police officer who fatally shot an Australian woman in Minnesota on Saturday has been identified as Mohamed Noor. Noor, who was celebrated as the first Somali American to join the Minneapolis Police Department’s 5th Precinct back in 2015...
"Damond called the police Saturday to report a possible assault she heard taking place in an alley behind her home in the middle-class suburb of Fulton, which local media described as a generally safe neighborhood. Noor and fellow officer Matthew Harrity responded to the call. Damond reportedly approached the police car when the officers arrived, after which Noor shot across his partner from the passenger’s seat and fatally struck Damond in the abdomen."
