Court Documents: Prosecutors Say Noor Showed a Reckless Disregard For Human Life (Damond murder)

Hennepin County prosecutors say a now-former Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed Justine Damond in July 2017 showed a reckless disregard for human life, citing his response to previous police calls and his training records.

Prosecutors filed documents Wednesday detailing Mohamed Noor's psychological evaluation prior to becoming an officer and his actions during a call hours before he killed Damond.

Those training records are contained in the new filings. They offer the first glimpse of Noor's behavior and personal insights while he was preparing to become an officer.

During Noor's 2015 psychological evaluation, he self-reported that "... he disliked people, disliked being around people, and was disinterested in interacting with people," according to department documents cited by prosecutors.

Prosecutors argue the evaluation "illustrates his indifference for human life."

Noor is charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in last summer's shooting of Damond in an alley behind her home near Washburn and 50th Street.

Damond had called 911 to report a possible sexual assault.

Less than two hours earlier, Noor and his partner, officer Matthew Harrity, had responded to the same area after multiple calls about a woman possibly suffering from dementia, a review of police records showed.

But nearly four minutes after arriving at the scene, officers cleared the call to go to dinner.

When questioned after the shooting, Harrity said he did not draw any connection between the calls about the woman in distress and the report about a possible sex assault.

"This lack of investigative curiosity and indifference to the woman or women who were the subject of these calls shows a disregard for humans and public safety," prosecutors stated.

Months before Damond was killed, Noor pulled over a driver who failed to use his turn signal and "the first thing he did was point his gun at the driver's head," prosecutors said, citing police records they reviewed. Noor appears on squad and body-camera video drawing his gun during that incident. Prosecutors argue Noor escalated the situation and that case "... shows his indifference to human life and dangerous recklessness as a police officer."

John Ruszczyk, Damond's father from Australia, has filed a civil lawsuit against Noor and the police department. In a statement to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, Ruszczyk's attorney, Bob Bennett, said in part: "The state's entire response underscores the fact that Noor was unfit for duty as a Minneapolis police officer."

Last month, Noor's attorney, Tom Plunkett, filed a motion to dismiss the case based on lack of probable cause. He argued Noor "did not act in a wanton manner, but in reaction to a perceived threat of danger," when he fired his gun.

Plunkett was unavailable for comment Wednesday. Attorney Fred Bruno represents officer Harrity. He said: "Everybody knows Harrity did everything right and nothing wrong that night."

More bad news for Crazy Mo and Minneapolis Government and Police.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

More Justine Damond news ping.

Looks like justice is coming for Justine.

If you would like to be on or off this ping list, give me a shout.

During Noor's 2015 psychological evaluation, he self-reported that "... he disliked people, disliked being around people, and was disinterested in interacting with people," according to department documents cited by prosecutors.

So why didn't they make him a Department of Motor Vehicles Clerk, a Tax Collector, or a computer help desk technician?

[Fungi]

I hope the police department, the city, and every responsible individual involved in his hiring takes monumental monetary hit. This is what diversity looks like.

[from occupied ga]

I still say he walks on the criminal charges. He’s a cop. Cops can kill anyone they want. It’s in the job description under “perks”. The city might settle on the civil suit meaning that the taxpayers get the shaft, but the woman is still dead and the sociopath who murdered her is still alive

[AnthonySoprano]

.
He wanted to shoot someone for not using a Turn Signal!

We got us a problem here, boys.

.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Because the Mayor, City Council and Police Chief wanted to be seen as in favor of diversity and wanted a Somali cop, no matter the outcome.

[doorgunner69]

He wanted to shoot someone for not using a Turn Signal!

Well, hold on, who knows what sort of bumper sticker the driver may have had on his car. Probable cause for sudden jihad?

Muzz always seem to be just an inch away from islamic Rage Boy mode.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Noor saw an Infidel female who had exited her house alone at night. His inner Islamist thought “how dare a woman go outside by herself at night”, so he pulled the trigger and shot her dead.

[DeweyCA]

That is exactly it. The Dem female Mayor of Minneapolis at that time wanted to have a Somali police officer, so that she could look like a good progressive. So Noor was rushed through, even though he was unqualified. Another Affirmative Action case in which the politician can feel good about herself, while somebody else in the general public has to pay the price.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Let’s not forget the mostly female city council and the lesbian police chief.

[BenLurkin]

Excellent

[Ikeon]

This really isn't anything to joke about. There is a serious overpopulation of do gooders infesting minneapolis and most major metropolitan areas in this country. The do gooders found the best Somali they could and gave him a badge despite overwhelming evidence he was a typical Somali muslum ass hat with an inherent indifference to human life.

These peoples hearts are in the right place but their heads are up their keester. Jez, the guy drew his gun for a no turn signal traffic stop! And they let him keep his badge and gun? You can't fix stupid- really you can't

[Secret Agent Man]

He thought he was the police of vice and virtue.

Honor his heritage and behead him in the public square.

[Eagles6]

They needed a black and a muslim cop. With him they got a twofer

[Dagnabitt]

I don’t think the hearts of leftists are in the right place. They are immensely selfish and act largely out of their need to signal their own virtue to others and to boost their own self-esteem.

IMHO, that’s what appointing this completely unsuitable product of a savage garbage un-culture like Somalia’s was about. The liberal whites got to show others that they were better, that they had the most virtue. “Look at us. We appointed a Somali Muslim.” They never cared for a second about the consequences.

[joma89]

He had better be convicted.

JoMa

[Ikeon]

IMHO Do gooders hearts are in right place. its their motivation thats wrong and therefor crosses out any good intentions they have. They don't mind stepping over dead bodies ( abortion clinics) because they are supporting womens rights. They prop up a POS like Noor because they want the somalis to feel like they are part of minneapolis. and once again they are stepping over bodies to feel good about themselves. they are do gooders, the worse type of nice people to be around.

SOMALIS STEAL $300 MILLION TAX DOLLARS——The Worst Scandal In Minnesota History?
Center of the American Experiment ^ | May 14, 2018 | John Hinderaker
FR Posted on 5/15/2018, 9:24:53 AM by 2ndDivisionVet

Fox 9 television uncovers a far-reaching scandal: last year, more than $100 million in cash left the Twin Cities airport in carry-on luggage, bound for the Middle East and Africa: This story begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where mysterious suitcases filled with cash have become a common carry-on. On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms. Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.

Where does the money come from, and where is it going? It was coming from Hawalas, businesses used to courier money to countries that have no official banking system. Some immigrant communities rely on Hawalas to send funds to help impoverished relatives back home. [Former Seattle police detective Glen] Kerns discovered some of the money was being funneled to a Hawala in the region of Somalia that is controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist group.

But the real scandal is where the money came from in the first place–welfare fraud:As Kerns dug deeper, he found that some of the individuals who were sending out tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of remittance payments happened to be on government assistance in this country. How could they possibly come up with such big bucks to transfer back home? “We had sources that told us, ‘It’s welfare fraud, it’s all about the daycare,’” said Kerns. *** Five years ago the Fox 9 Investigators were first to report that daycare fraud was on the rise in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with their childcare expenses.

“It’s a great way to make some money,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said In order for the scheme to work, the daycare centers falsely signed up low income Somali Muslim families that qualify for child care assistance funding.Surveillance videos from a case prosecuted by Hennepin County show parents checking their kids into a center, only to leave with them a few minutes later. Sometimes, no children would show up.

Either way, the center would bill the state for a full day of childcare.Video from that same case shows a man handing out envelopes of what are believed to be kickback payments to parents who are in on the fraud. Evidently welfare fraud in various forms is widespread in Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community. This is, I think, generally known, but the scale of fraud disclosed here is astonishing:

“We believe that there’s a scope of fraud out there that we really need to get our arms around and ensure that those dollars are going to kids that really need them,” Acting Commissioner for the Department of Human Services Chuck Johnson said.

He told the Fox 9 Investigators his agency has 10 daycares currently under active investigation for fraud. Fox 9 has learned dozens more are considered suspicious. Search warrants obtained by the Fox 9 Investigators show each one of the suspect centers has received several million dollars in childcare assistance funds.

According to public records and government sources, most are owned by Somali immigrants. *** Sources in the Somali community told Fox 9 it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money.

The fraud is so widespread they said, that people buy shares of daycare businesses to get a cut of the huge public subsidies that are pouring in. Government insiders believe this scam is costing the state at least a hundred million dollars a year, half of all child care subsidies.

A friend who saw this news story wrote: This has me more angry than I’ve been since the 2011 tax increase on the “rich” aka, working families. I can’t put into words how utterly incompetent you must be to not have a checks and balances in place for tax payer funded programs, the tax payer dollars that people like myself and millions others diligently pay quarterly, leaving our children in childcare to work and provide for our families, pay taxes, only to have this hard work fund bogus programs that somehow are funding the same terrorist activities meant to harm our country?!!! Unbelievable. The commissioner and employees responsible for overseeing this mess should pay, every single one of them – they should be fired – they didn’t do their job.

Her outrage is appropriate, but perhaps misguided. I suspect that many of Minnesota’s liberals think that our bureaucrats performed their jobs very well: they siphoned off hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to finance liberal constituencies—the principal purpose of government, according to our lib friends.

So, how dumb are we? Honestly, I think it is impossible to plumb the depths of our stupidity. We need to totally revamp both our immigration policies and our welfare system to guard against these Somali migrant crooks.

Tax-cheater Somalis in Minnesota----Somali councilman at podium.
United to defend Somali policeman who killed Janine Damond. Saying he was an "American......
But when he joined the police dept--the killer was hailed as a Somali. They cant have it both ways.

Nice how they assimilate, isnt it?

Somali Police Association in Minnesota---getting dental work, I hope.
One of their Somalis colleagues killed a girl without provocation.

They come to the great melting pot of America then proceed to set themselves apart.
United they stand AGAINST America sucking up tax dollars.
The arrogance is palbable....lookit the smirky one with the thingy on her head.
