The Minneapolis area seems to have a problem with trigger-happy and unqualified police officers. Most people agree that despite the verdict, there was no justification for the shooting of Philando Castile. And now a woman is dead after being shot by a Minneapolis police officer.
And while the local community is protesting and wanting answers, the social justice wheels may have just ground to a halt.
The officer who shot Damond was identified by his attorney as Mohamed Noor, a Somali-American. A city newsletter said he joined the police department in March 2015.
The attorney, Tom Plunkett, released a statement saying Noor offered his condolences to the family “and keeps them in his daily thoughts and prayers.”
Noor “is a caring person with a family he loves, and he empathizes with the loss others are experiencing,” the statement said.
