Slaying in Minneapolis: Justine Damond, shooting cultures and race : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 26/7/2017

Not so on this occasion. The individual who is said to have pulled the trigger was a black Somali-American, whose hiring by the police department supplied politically correct, multi-culti gold.

I don't believe race color or culture played any part in this highly emotive unfolding tragedy! But rather a highly flawed selection process, that selected a gun crazy individual and a murder going somewhere to happen!

And given that is so, his skin color or culture had no bearing.

There is only one race on one planet, planet earth, and given every race or culture can breed with any other. Proof that we are a single species separated only by six degrees of difference!

Plus a huge and largely confected, man made, cultural divide!

All the available evidence revealed thus far, points very strongly to quite deliberate and intentional, gun drawn, homicide, where the only possible defence is insanity!

The, in resting and ready hand, handgun must remain holstered and the trigger finger not in contact with the trigger, until the weapon is fully drawn!

And then only drawn if you intend to use it on an identified target! Which seems to have been the case here?
End of story.

Well here's what I think:
In regards to the issue of surveillance cameras turned off who is actually buying the bs that its 'some misforseen technicality'?
The truth is that the cameras are there to 'protect the police and city from circumstances of litigation' not 'help the victim prove the city or police were at fault or negligent.
They're 2 entirely different things and Binoy ruined another opportunity to do some real journalism and write a real story..

I'd like to point out that there's really only one political story that matters today, and if Binoy was any good at what he did he'd be on it.
The arrest of Imran Awan.

Alan,

Absolutely, the Sudanese are model immigrants and easily integrate into society, as we see in Melbourne.

There are two questions need to be urgently addressed.
How can Mohamed Noor abandon his duties as a police officer, fail to supply any report of his actions as a police officer, and adopt a course of action appropriate to a defendant in a criminal case, without being charged?
The Mayor said she could not force him to make a statement.
His supervising officer could require him to comply with his employment obligations to supply a report, and terminate him when he failed to do so. He should then be charged at least with manslaughter.
The other question is who enabled him to don a police uniform and carry a gun. He is a Somali, and no doubt a muslim. A little attention to his background would have disclosed ample reason for finding him unsuitable.
Someone should be brought to account for their actions in appointing him and charged with their dereliction of duty.

The actual crime is shooting an unarmed woman dead. That is not manslaughter, it's murder. The person who did it should be convicted of murder without all this stalling that outdoes even the stalling over Brexit. Once convicted the killer should get the appropriate sentence for murder. Hopefully the hot seat.
