Somali Muslim Cop Who Shot Woman Was Hired AFTER Being Found ‘Unable to Handle Stress' of Job
2018-09-14
h/t Instapundit
[PJMedia] Identity politics kills. If there is any lesson to be drawn from the killing of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, that is it. The city of Minneapolis was so eager to have a Somali Muslim police officer on the force that it hired a man who had been found incompetent to hold the job. Further, it did not fire him even when he proved that he was indeed unfit to be a cop.

Fox News has reported that "the former Minneapolis police officer charged in the shooting death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond once put a gun to a driver’s head during a traffic stop and sometimes ignored calls, according to court filings indicating that psychiatrists and training officers voiced concerns about his fitness for duty."

Not only that, but "Mohamed Noor was flagged by two psychiatrists during a pre-hiring evaluation in early 2015. The psychiatrists said he seemed unable to handle the stress of regular police work and exhibited an unwillingness to deal with people."
One more piece of evidence - as if we needed more, which shows you who's the real enemy are.

#9  I'm guessing the city has insurance against such judgments and/or will argue some sort of immunity for cops in performance of their duties.

They will also drop the psychological screening for the same reasons that physical fitness tests are dropped because they screen out unqualified applicants for physically demanding jobs.

#8  The only thing surprising to me is that they administered a stress analysis.

50/50 that part of the application gets shitcanned.

#7   the city will mortgage every last dime of its property to come up with a settlement big enough to get the family to back off...and sign the mother of all gag orders.

Something like the MGM/LV model.

#6  Rambler,

I would be willing to bet at this point that the city will mortgage every last dime of its property to come up with a settlement big enough to get the family to back off...and sign the mother of all gag orders.

#2  Mike, no kidding. And, from what I understand, in a civil trial, the defendant cannot plead the Fifth.
