Warrant: Woman slapped squad car before cop fatally shot Ruszczyk
MPR News ^ | 07/24/2017 | Riham Feshir

Before Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor shot Justine Ruszczyk through the open driver's side window of his squad, a woman had approached the back of the patrol car and "slapped" it, according to a court document filed Monday.

Authorities say Ruszczyk, who also used the surname Damond, called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her south Minneapolis home. She called again 10 minutes later to check on the status of the responding officer's arrival. Soon after, she was shot.

A search warrant was filed by Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators to look at the area where the shooting happened and gather evidence as part of the investigation.

"Upon police arrival, a female 'slaps' the back of the patrol squad," according to the search warrant. "After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley."

But the document doesn't explicitly say it was Ruszczyk who slapped the back of the police cruiser. It also doesn't say whether that was the loud noise that Noor's partner, Matthew Harrity, said he heard and was startled by before the shooting.

A BCA spokesperson declined to provide additional details, citing the ongoing investigation.

Noor has declined to speak with investigators. He remains on paid administrative leave.

The shooting has stirred controversy all around the country and internationally as news spread to Ruszczyk's home country of Australia.

Former Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau, before she resigned Friday, condemned Noor's actions and said "Justine didn't have to die." On Saturday, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges appointed Assistant Police Chief Medaria Arradondo as acting chief.

Stay alive.

Don’t talk to the police

Don’t snap police cars.

He was probably told he had to if he wanted to keep his job.

Yes. Street artist. One of the resident trolls was whining about it on another thread.

That’s how people outside a car get the attention of those inside.

Little woman slapping a patrol car is deadly force, of course, requiring a subdued corpse

“Now ,again tell me how many days did it take to make this story up ?”

Just like Whacko, Texas. The LEO “defense team” has to have time to put together the “plausible lie!”
So you rap on the cop car to get their attention, or cause them to stop, and you get killed for doing so. If I were this woman’s fiance, I’d make it my life’s work to figure out a way to successfully kill the cop.

the original thing out there was fireworks. You slap a car you get this hollow sound, nothing at all like an explosive going off.

also i guess they couldn’t find anyone to corroborate fireworks so it became more localized, a slap on the car.

It’s like a series of totally unconnected events once you start using the “passive voice”... a trigger was pulled, a firearm was discharged, a woman became deceased... and we have no idea why!

I don’t care if she blew on a horn.

You don’t pull your weapon and start firing when you have no idea what you’re shooting!

If it’s “INCREDIBLY STUPID” to thump a police car, how do you suggest getting the attention of two casuals sitting in a car facing away from you without startling them?

I have come to the conclusion that in almost all situations, it is incredibly stupid to interact with the police... They will kill you.

What I want to know is where is the outrage!?

If this had been a black man [or woman] shot for no apparent reason, there would be rioting in the streets and burning things.

Good thing a balloon didn’t pop at a carnival. We would have had a massacre on our hands.
