A federal judge ruled Monday that Minneapolis Police Officer Mohamed Noor will not have to answer questions about the shooting death of Justine Damond in a separate court battle that also involves allegations of police misconduct.
Noor is one of three Minneapolis police officers accused of forcing their way into a woman's home two months before the Damond incident. The woman, Teresa Graham, claims the officers violated her constitutional rights by sending her to the hospital against her will while alleging she was in the throes of a mental health crisis.
Graham's attorney, Jordan Kushner, argued the two incidents could be related, and that therefore he should be able to ask Noor questions about both.
Attorneys for the city of Minneapolis disagreed, saying Noor should not have to answer questions about the Damond incident for a few reasons, including, that it's not relevant, it could impact Noor's rights concerning a possible criminal prosecution, it could interfere in the ongoing investigation, and it would risk creating a media circus.
Ultimately Judge Steven Rau agreed with the city, saying of the Graham incident, "Mr. Noor was a bit player in this incident. He was not the decision maker."
Noor will still be deposed in the Graham case, likely in the next few weeks. He will not, however, have to answer any questions related to the Damond incident.
Justine Damond Ping.
They’ll send Somalis to take you in for mental evaluation and get your guns.
Well, they ARE skinnier and harder to hit when you shoot back
Yeah but one shot and they go down.
islamic police officer. A gross contradiction of terms.
Is Noor married? have her call the police and wait for them in an alley at night.
BATTA BING BATTA BOOM.
Good question. Don’t know if that has ever been revealed.
Gotta go dig around.
Here you go...
“Divorce documents filed in December and obtained by the Star Tribune describe Noor as a caring, involved father who was at times struggled with the demands of his job. His mother often watched Noor’s son while he worked, the paper reports. The family spoke Somali at home, but Noor reportedly insisted his son’s first language be English.
Noor also battled for custody of his son, born in 2010. According to family court records, Noor and his son’s mother met in college and never legally married. They split up when the boy was 3, but the two continued to share responsibilities and — as best they could — time.”
Smart woman, she bailed knowing Noor has an itchy trigger finger.
He’s likely been humping camels ever since.
The man needs jail time for murder.
“caring, involved father” = Beat the kids, but it was for their own good?
“who was at times struggled with the demands of his job” = Was an incompetent loser who should never have been hired in the first place?.
I smell issues...

My pleasure.
Divorce documents....never legally married...which is it?
Probably not actually divorce papers, but a custody case.
He need that a long time ago. What is taking them so long?

Why is he still alive?
