US police officers have shot dead an Australian woman who reportedly called 911 after hearing a noise near her home in Minneapolis.
Minnesota’s public safety department said a woman was shot in Minneapolis after two officers responded to a callout about a possible assault on Saturday at 11.30pm local time. The police officers did not have their body cameras turned on.
The woman has been named as Justine Damond, who ran meditation workshops at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community. Damond, originally Justine Ruszczyk, used the name of the man she was due to marry in August, Don Damond, the local Star Tribune reported.
Minneapolis police are investigating, but their work has been hampered because the officers’ body cameras were switched off. The police department said the squad car's camera also failed to capture the incident.
According to police sources, Noor shot across his partner and out the window of the squad car, striking Damond. When Noor opened fire, his partner was "stunned," according to the source.

Yeah, well, it's not just BLM(started for awareness of African Americans being killed by police BTW, at least they took a stand for themselves unlike Whites) but by White Americans ignoring their own being killed. I've seen many excuses while covering these stories over time. It's disgusting.

Well the cop that killed the white woman was black. Since blacks are eager to point that out all the time i think i'll just do the same because everybody is equal and such. Strangely MSM is ignoring the story because they can't fuel the hate of blacks for cops. Yeah they have no agenda at all.
I hope they solve the case and justice is served.

Yeah great idea. If you point out that a black cop shot a white you're a racist and vice versa. End of discussion. You can't win with these people.

Suspiciously few details from the police on why they opened fire and why ALL the cameras were either off or didn't capture what happened.
Holy F**k

See, this is where everyone goes way off the rails.
'Blacks' don't care if it's white cops or purple cops - they just want to stop getting killed by cops.
Why haven't 'whites' stepped up to decry the shootings of innocent 'whites' by cops?
We have a severe problem with police killings and it crosses skin color.

The officer did apologize(not that it will quell questions much, etc, investigation should ensue), but with such an action, shouldn't they have guidelines for them to not shoot from their vehicle? Sounds like intentional skirting of the law.

Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges praised Officer Noor in May 2016 in a Facebook post where she called his joining the force a “wonderful sign of building trust and community policing at work.”
He is the first Somali officer to work in the 5th Precinct, according to a Minneapolis newsletter.
