Former Minneapolis cop's behavior before shooting death of Australian woman raised concerns, court filings say. (Full title).

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.

The revelations surfaced after defense attorneys filed a motion Wednesday seeking to dismiss murder and manslaughter charges against Mohamed Noor, who is accused of shooting Damond in July 2017 after she dialed 911 to report a possible assault.

In a response filed Wednesday, Hennepin County prosecutors said 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.

The psychiatric evaluation said Noor was more likely than other candidates to become impatient with others over minor infractions, have trouble getting along with others, to be more demanding and to have a limited social support network. The psychiatrists said he "reported disliking people and being around them."

...

Damond, from Sydney, Australia but living in Minneapolis, was shot July 15, 2017, minutes after calling 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home. The 40-year-old life coach’s death drew international attention, cost the police chief her job and

The officers did not turn on their body cameras until after the shooting, and there was no squad camera video of the incident.

Perfect qualifications for police these days.

So, my question would be, why was he doing regular police work? I have my own opinion.

He was Somali. He was hired to fill a quote. Nothing more, nothing less.

All these red flags but they do not overcome the perceived PC necessity of having a Negro and Moslem on the force. The fellow actually acted correctly according to his own Law- Shariah. The woman was speaking to an unrelated man, was improperly dressed and was an infidel.

Well, I said I had my opinion, and you said it for me. Unfortunately, the Twin Cities have changed a lot, since I used to come and watch the Twins at the old Met. 👎

Somalis in Minnesota----Somali councilman at podium.
United to defend Somali policeman who killed Janine Damond. Saying Noor as an "American......
But when he joined the police dept--Noor, the killer was hailed as a Somali. They can't 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.

You can’t fix stupid. and it runs hand in hand with people who think they know how to fix society with your tax dollars. Hire a low intelligence somoli , make him a cop dedpite his antisocial tendencies..Stupid is rampantin mpls. Ie: In Minneapolis public gardens are a great idea. everyone will pitch in and help and at the end of the year we’ll have a harvest celebration and an apple pie bake off with the apples from the garden. I kid you not. this was put out in a south minneapolis brochure over what to do with a public square in the area. really, Im not joking.. This is typical of a liberal.

I guess that really DOES define stupid. That’s about the dumbest idea I have ever heard of.

Because the Swedes of Minnesota are just as cucked, stupid and self-hating as the Swedes in Sweden.
