For those who have forgotten...
The Minneapolis Police were on high alert for “ambush” situations when this shooting occurred.
The location was a darkened alley or side street, the victim suddenly approached the police car from the rear, slapped her hand on the car trunk, then ran to the driver’s side window.
Guilty or Not Guilty?
I don’t know enough facts to speculate.
But this is not an open and shut case of murder.
This guy was a marginal cop, probably wouldn’t have been there if he hadn’t been Somali, and already had several complaints against him.
The problem is that the police departments feel they have to take on people like him and even keep them despite the fact that they are clearly unsuited to the job. That doesn’t mean that there are no Somalis that could make good cops, but simply that he wasn’t one of them and they couldn’t get rid of him for political reasons.

In everything I have read on this case, I NEVER heard any of the above. Why was I led to believe she just ran out of her home and he shot her. He may have made a bad shoot but reading that, if it is what happened, was not jihad.
Still, he should not have been in that patrol car, period. PC is killing us.
Thank you for your post
Fair enough, but then we only have the two officers account of what happened, don’t we? If there’s an independent witness to her behavior, that would carry more weight with me.

Yeah, that’s the story of the involved cops and they’re stickin’ to it. I’d like to see the driver (the non-shooting cop) agree to a polygraph exam to see if he sticks to that crap.
