The partner of the Minneapolis cop who shot an Australian woman dead was “left stunned” when the woman was killed without provocation.
Officers Matthew Harrity and Mohamed Noor responded to a 911 call about a sexual assault in the alley outside Justine Damond’s home.
Both officers sat in their squad car as Harrity spoke to Damond, who was wearing pajamas.
Harrity was “stunned” when Noor reached across him and fired multiple shots through the car door. Damond died later from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.
A police source told KARE11 that Harrity did not view Damond as a threat.
Neither officer turned on their body cams when they arrived at the scene. Noor, 31, offered his condolences for killing the 40-year-old yoga instructor, but he demanded everyone respect his privacy.
Noor, who joined the force in March 2015, was celebrated by the city as the first Somali/Muslim officer in the 5th Precinct. He is a member of the Somali American Police Association.
Both Noor and Harrity are on paid administrative leave while an investigation into the shooting is completed.
Noor has 2 complaints against him from 2016 and 2017. He faces a lawsuit for assaulting another woman during an incident on May 25, 2017.
This whole situation makes absolutely no sense. Perhaps this guy has mental issues? Just wondering.
Because she’s a yt woman everyone is outraged. We have been saying the police are an issue for far too long.
So he just picked up his service weapon and discharged it through the door????? I hope there were some cameras in that alley. May her soul rest in peace
I cannot wait to see the development and outcome of this story!!! Omg. Y’all have no idea. I’m so tuned in. And I’m keeping my opinions to myself (for now)
Interesting how we do not know this woman’s criminal history. We always seem to find out after someone of color dies, from history of drug use to failure to pay child support. #ComplexionOfProtection
This is a sad story. Rest In Peace!
But Look how quick they posted the cop’s picture. Hell I still don’t know what some of these police officers that killed black men look like.
Funny how the police chief called for an independent investigation right away funny how all of his information and everything was released within 24 hours unlike some other officers we even know he has 2 other incidents none of which we knew in other cases until AFTER they got off. Funny how they posted pictures of him with Muslim people he is most likely Muslim they posted these pics that had nothing to do with the shooting funny how a lot of stuff is so different from other police shootings

Yeah leave people alone walking home from mosques
To reach over his partner from the passenger seat & shoot thru the door…yeah this ninja’s ill.
Well this police shooting is definitely on a different track. WHITE cop kills young Black male – case closed within 72 hours. BLACK cops kills WHITE WOMAN is on every news cycle, on every TV network. OUTCRY THROUGHOUT THE LAND. Not a city investigation but the GOVERNOR investigates; BLACK cop will probably get the death penalty.
It sounds like he is wrong. But because he is black they will convict him watch.
im still not understanding WHY he shot her
Why are they so tightlipped about this…was it an accident or intentional?
Not to make light of this incident, but every time I read an article about this shooting, I hear the opening lines to Sade’s song, “Pearls.”
“There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There’s a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive…”
This is weird. Is he a terrorist? Yeah, I said it.
They already know why he shot her. His partner witnessed the shooting. They are trying figure out how to contain this story. If his motive for shooting that white woman is made public, what will happen to the future of other foreign police officers? The mayor praised this man and held him up as a shining example of the American dream. Now, she has to face the reality that she gave a twisted psychopath a gun and a license to kill.
&&& HE NEEDS TO BE CONVICTED!!! I DONT CARE IF HE WAS PURPLE!
WELL I WONDER WHY DID HIS BLACK A$$ KILL THAT LADY!!?? SEE IDC ABOUT COLOR. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT ABOUT THIS WHOLE STORY.
SHE PROBABLY HAS NO HISTORY
Not true. Google the LaQuan McDonald shooting.
Uh huh! There’s a whole lot of things not right with this story.
He wouldn’t be the first radicalized Muslim we gave a gun to.
I DON’T KNOW WHY HIS BLACK ASS KILLED HER, JUST LIKE I DON’T KNOW WHY THEIR WHITE ASSES SHOOT YOUNG BLACK MEN ON A REGULAR BASIS! I WAS SIMPLY POINTING OUT THE INEQUITY IN MEDIA COVERAGE.
Something doesn’t smell right about this story. Of course, not only because he’s Black, but Muslim is the media going to go nuts over this story. I find it “ironic” that they don’t take this much interest when Black men, women, and children are shot dead. In fact, many of the news outlets ignore these unjust shootings, but we all know (or at least I do) that the media is the propaganda arm of White supremacy, so all this coverage isn’t surprising.
Anyway, I feel bad for this woman and family like I would anyone else unjustly mistreated by the demons in blue.
P.S. Officer Noor’s partner was stunned at what his partner did, yet we never hear that from the partners of the Black assassins. JS.
A white guy on a bike, may have witnessed the shooting. The cops are looking for him. Other cops from Somalia are complaining because the media is showing up at their homes. Apparently, the word “terrorist” is floating around.
So sad. She was a victim calling the police trying to get justice so I’m not understanding y she was shot.
White people be like…. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/86ae7a5469abdf82a5c8d7cc3c39669c3d86295413416f9bd5a6ddbc9fe96398.gif
Is he on administrative leave with pay? So sad , condolences to family and friends!
The partner of the Minneapolis cop who shot an Australian woman dead was “left stunned” when the woman was killed without provocation.
Et tu Auntie?
He is from Somalia. Not American Black. They don’t claim us and I’m not claiming him. I pray for her family and his spirit cause homeboy lost his damn mind that day.
Prev comment…wrong post … lol. Take back.
Blame it on the alcohol.
Something is adding up. Prayers for her. However, I’m more concerned about my African- American brothers and Sisters injustice than this white lady.
WELL EVERYONE BLACK HAS BEEN WANTING A POLICE OFFICER TO BE FOUND GUILTY OF SHOOTING AN UNARMED PERSON SO I GUESS WE’RE FINALLY GOING TO GET OUR WISH. I GUESS WE HAVE TO BE MORE SPECIFIC IN OUR PRAYERS SO FINALLY IT’LL BE A COP THAT KILLS AN UNARMED BLACK PERSON. SMH!!! HIS A$$ IS TOAST!!!………JENNY JONES!!!
Hate to say this but it’s NOT looking good for ol boy!
It seems law enforcement is distancing itself (as a whole) from this dude.
When—in all other cases of officer involved shootings—they stand firmly behind their “brothers in blue.”
Case in point—-when a yt officer murders an unarmed POC—it takes an act of Congress just to find out the officers name, let alone get their pic.
But it seems that we already know everything about THIS officer except his SS# and blood type.
I don’t know the whole story. And I am truly sorry a life was lost. I’m just pointing out the elephant in the room.
Why’d I hear Burn’s voice in my head?
Now why do you assume that?
Why are you yelling? No need for all caps.
Hey Vanna Bo Banna! *kiss*
Like I’m wondering, was it an accident..like was he pulling out his gun about to leave the car to go investigate?
I can’t see dude reaching across another officer and just gunning a woman down in cold blood.
There is a LOT missing from this story.
??
Continued prayers for her family…
Here’s the story coming down the pike: “He heard a loud noise. Thought it was gunfire. Fired upon an unarmed woman. It was all a big mistake.”
BewJu!!!
I pray for all involved. I can’t find the pic of my e-nephew. *sad*
The only black cop accused of killing a civilian and we already have incriminating history. Why am I not surprised ??
AJ!!!
May she rest in peace. A White woman killed by a policeman of color? Let’s see how the legal system will work now.
Whoa!!
And this is why black people won’t have progress. What an educated comment.
If you knew what black cops do to black civilians on a daily basis….
Wait for it. It’s coming.
You fool when the victim is white the narrative is always different. You should be concerned about that.
And….how come we don’t know about everything thing this woman has ever done wrong in her life like we most assuredly would if she were a POC?
(Again -no disrespect to the deceased) but—
If this woman were a minority–I’ll bet my last breath that we’d know every mis-step she’d made in life—from the time she stole her classmates scissors in 3rd grade—to the time she shop lifted lip gloss in 7th grade—to how much alcohol/drugs were in her system –to how many abortions she’d had—-to why her toe nail polish didn’t match her fanga-nails.
IJS.
Tell that to the black Chicago cop who got away with excessive force and never bothered to explain how a suspect’s DNA got on barrel of his gun.
I’m so glad I’m Canadian. Seeing Blacks blinding fall in line with the media while being discriminated themselves ?
Some people don’t have a police record.
Again youre focusing on the wrong things but why do I care I’m Canadian and we aren’t that naive or stupid.
LOL. Not all Black victims executed by the police have records either. THAT wasn’t my point. That’s why I specifically wrote “mis-step made” instead of “crime committed.”
What?? The frigin point is when the victim is white you won’t hear nothing negative. When the cop is white you don’t hear nothing negative.
I use to work with some that firmly believed that they weren’t black. They said they were Arab. I told them to wait until they got into some trouble, they’ll know for sure that they’re black.
i understood your point. Even a blind man can see what the media and police puts out there. I guess some people just don’t get it but your comment is completely accurate
I hope he don’t think blue lives matter going to step up and show him support.
LOL. Not all POC executed by the police have records either.
THAT wasn’t my point. That’s why I specifically wrote “mis-step made” instead of “crimes committed.”

Yup . He’s about to get a reality check. Like jay said Rich ni $$A poor ni $$A…still A ni$$A. NO MATTER WHAT Contribution to society you make you will still be treated like a slave.
LOL. Thank you!
He’ll just go to Page 1, Chapter 1 of the Police Officer’s Playbook:
“She made a sudden move” . “I feared for my life”.
Case closed. Acquittal.
We’ve all seen this movie before.
YT women don’t make “sudden moves” tho.
Only POC are genetically predisposed to do suspicious things like that.
Shame on you!!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fb8b59fcd0c052caf215d3c43f334c48c243757d42715eb8b61720eec0bd113e.gif
Well, that’s the argument his attorney will probably use… and some judge or jury will buy it.
After all, who’s to say it didn’t happen, since there were no cameras? The benefit of the doubt almost always goes to the police officer, so I fully expect he’ll get acquitted.
Just as it always does. The only difference is, there will be no riots, no looting and no marches.
Only ?
wow.
I feel ya.
And I know —that you know—that I was being facetious.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/39a190832f5de5dc94b7f0a6c913f51fd859609024d661237891bb37ecbe4d7f.gif
Right because it has ALREADY been ruled a homicide. And no the justice system doesn’t work as it should because it continues to fail blacks daily. You tried it though…
I’m only gonna say RIP and condolences.
*sits in corner and waits for another cop acquittal*
This is a Becky, so he will be charged. May she Rest In Peace. Prayers to her family, and friends.
So they are going to treat him as if he were a black victim of a police shooting.
Well then.
The ‘official’ excuse is that they heard a loud sound.
But since she was blonde becky they couldn’t use the ‘ I feared for my life’ excuse.
He better hope his partner remembers the Blue Wall of Silence and sticks with that story.
Tamir Rice didn’t have a police record so they dug up his parents’ and published it.
Exactly. They are talking about how she was about to get married and who she had a life and was successful.
Just like the white dude in Florida who stabbed three people two of them fatally and then ate the face off one of his victims.
The media made sure in each article to mention that he was a college student and even the sheriff referred to his as a ‘kid’ even though he was damn 20 y/o.
Because the cop will be convicted unlike the 40K other cases.
Tell it.
Let em know…
Put the t in front of ruth and waddaya got….?
So this will be one of the story lines that they use to convict the brother. I say we band together and help his cause. How bout a gofund me to help with his legal fees? God rest her soul tho im sure it was an accident.
????.. im sorry Im not laughing at this womens death. Im laughing at our anxiety to apologize for what happened. Sadly they never feel sorry when it happens to us. ?
Are you blind?? Hes black hello!
Exactly
Yes because we dont know the full story or the facts. She could have done something that mad him feel unsafe. We just dont know
@mzwhang he had no idea ?
Okay!
Speak on it please.
Oh please let him hang and be an example to other minorities who wrongly believe that wearing the blue uniform overrides their black or brown skin.
If they don’t believe then they need to ask that black cop who was off duty and tried to help his fellow officers and was shot by one of his white colleagues.
Police records dont matter.. usually they make stuff up about you.
Wake up call on aisle one.
Exactly like the that shot up the baseball republican game. We aint never seen his pic plastered on the news or anythinf about him.. now did we? ??
No arguments here sadly your right.. Im rooting for him tho
I wonder what happened to make him shoot her unprovoked… R.I.P. But unlike the many black people killed by cops she’ll get justice because she was a blonde white yoga instructor (that’s as white as you can get) and the powers that be are white and they would see it as the tables getting turned (presumed innocent whites being killed by black officers) and until the number of minorities officially outnumbers the number of whites in this country in a few years they will fight everything like cockroaches trying to stay alive.
Wow This is the first time that I’ve seen this…. all his business falling in the street….I thought the brotherhood bluecode was extended to everyone.
We all have an idea on how this will play out because the stage is being set as we speak.
He is a jackass…. but he will be convicted and #bluelivesmatter won’t support him
My theory is he was trying to shoot the person who was sexual assaulting the person in the alley but she got in the way.. sounds reasonable!!
Why?
She and her family will get justice unlike so many black victims.
Somalians are Arabs. Arabs are black African people. Not the french Montanans we’re use to seeing.
How Did the Black Arabs Become White?
How did Arabia and the Arabs, the home and people of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s), go from this:
To this?
In ways simlar to Algiers and North Africa in general did. Lucien Herault, writing about the white slave-trade into North Africa in the the 17th century, observes:
“In the first half of the sevententh century, the number of (white) captives held itself around a fluctuating population figure of around 20, 000, that, joined to the 20, 000 renegades (i.e. European converts to Islam) and to the numerous contingents of Albanians and Bulgarians serving in the militia, made of Algiers a white city, approaching closer [in terms of] blood and of race to the various European ports on the other bank [of the Mediterranean] than to all the other Moorish or Turkish cities.”
I’m in the twin cities now n they are already throwing him under the bus.
Why shouldn’t I have empathy for her family. I know we’re done hella wrong but so was this lady too.
Oh well. Not my fight. I respect my Africans in general but many Somalis throw BP under the bus – no loyalty.
Well, what say you now, white America? You bring in these Africans to sow division among Black Americans and guess what? They look to take your place, your women, your very lives! Because they were not raised under Jim Crow or White Jesus or the Bell curve or redlining. They look you square in the eye and shoot.
A blond, Australian (foreign) white middle aged woman.
What a sore spot for America’s global reputation.
The officer Noor is obviously a psychotic fundamentalist extremist muslim who executes his disdain for women by using his power as an offer to assault and murder them. He’s a new style of terrorist.
I wouldn’t call it a new style of terrorism. Police brutality against POC is part of racial domestic terrorism which has been alive and well in America for centuries
And let’s not forget:
former University of Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing is going to walk free after shooting and killing an unarmed black motorist…
Let’s see if any white jurors will let this Somali cop go free because like the case aforementioned, “they just cannot convict a police officer”
Thank you Sir…I do not see them as ‘one of us ‘ either. they’re real pieces of work. In London they have kids in rapid succession The husband doesn’t work the wife doesn’t work. They’re on benefits have free council housing and brand new cars because they claim disability. They have their own community and never integrate with black people (not that I would want to anyway) they are very filthy people and think nothing of spitting phlegm all over the place on a very busy pavement They are rude and are idiots too! Ooooo I could go on but will stop here.
He was probably high on khat
uh-huh. BTW, 11 blacks killed in Chicago last weekend. 50+ shootings. Where are you ?
I can only imagine……and the justification will be his record and how was watch!
I’m just curious, where are all of the #BlueLivesMatter post at now that the tables have turned?!?
Also, this has now got me thinking back to the first episode of Tales on BET!!
I was watching this story in CBS this morning. RIP to this woman however they did a whole expose’ on this lady but then turned around that did a 15 second clip on the Cincinnati officer that isn’t getting a 3rd trial for killing an unarmed black motorist. Im confused? The Prime Minister of Australia has come forward….really tho the Prime Fucking Minister. Now Im not saying this cop wasn’t an ass. And he has the nerve to not want to talk to authorities. He had two prior complaints and one investigation from women. But what about our brown brothers and sisters that are getting killed damn near weekly….once its a white woman everybody starts to panic….FOH
U sound pretty white.
Doesn’t matter to them. As sad as it is, our brown brothers and sisters are looked at as less than human. Hell, less than dogs for that matter (a family was awarded $ bcz their dog was killed by police)
What you witnessed was White supremacy. The media is the propaganda arm of White supremacy, so they did what they are “supposed” to do.
Yes I see that he’s black, but he’s still a cop. That uniform still gives him favorable treatment in the court system. We’ve seen that time and time again, or maybe you havent been paying attention.
There are obviously pieces missing from this story. It doesn’t make sense. I do not understand how people make comments judging when the whole story isn’t out there yet.
offered his condolences for killing the 40-year-old yoga instructor, but he demanded everyone respect his privacy.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A confession and a go to hell mind ya biz fomf….at the same damn time.
Your ass is grass sir. Hate to say it.
Hmmmmm, so NOW they want to bring up the cop’s “violent” history.
I agree if this lady were BROWN there would be a whole different outlook.
I wanna talk about Jennifer Freeman/Claire from My Wife and Kids popping up on Tales on BET with a WHOLE NEW FACE.
That is the narrative we were given as we watched innocent people MURDERED by the police.
We don’t know what happened… so we can’t draw a quick conclusion.
Yet now that the victim is a Caucasian woman we want to JUDGE quickly. smh
I’ve got nothing for this. Like literally nothing.
I GUESS BLUE LIVES DON’T MATTER.
From CNN:
“Harrity told investigators he was startled by a loud sound near the car, followed by Ruszczyk’s appearance at the driver’s side window.”
—–
That’s pretty different than the article above, which states:
“Both officers sat in their squad car as Harrity spoke to Damond, who was wearing pajamas.
Harrity was “stunned” when Noor reached across him and fired multiple shots through the car door. Damond died later from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.”
—-
Safe to say he’s going to use the “feared for my life” excuse
Except it wont work for him.
It being a white woman, they will burn his ass….had it been a Black one, just another day in trumperica.
Not likely, nobody is scared of a YT woman.
Dearest, weekly my ass…daily
The citizens and police departments all over this country will cry “foul” and demand justice – in one accord, in perfect harmony.
They will cry for her and make her the poster child for their argument that not only unarmed blacks get shot by cops. They gon ride this $–t till the wheels fall off.
Many of us don’t want to admit it, but WE. DO. NOT. MATTER. to them. When you strip their opinions of us down to the very core – we are inferior in EVERY respect. Some can play nice, but the opinion remains. The bothersome part is not that they feel like this, but that SOOO many of us can’t see past the veil they wear. Thinking that their “inclusion” and words affirming our equality are genuine.
ALWAYS ? a nigga ? ALWAYS
Over 300 opioid OD deaths in Ohio last month…and counting… they expect the toll to more than double by the end of the year. Where are you?
The same place GrapeCrush is…. living your/her life, whatever that may entail.
Your small mind really has you thinking that your even smaller argument is worth any type of consideration. That rebuttal is tired and played – not to mention irrelevant.
He’s gonna fry for this….
Not black and not blue, only white and blue when it applies.
Only to a Somali I guess…. U one?
Self inflicted. It isn’t murder. Wake the fk up.
He should. Murdered that lady in cold blood for NO reason.
Why are you “rooting” for a man who killed this innocent woman in cold blood? He’s Somali, and would never “root” for your dumb black ass.
He felt threatened but the cop closest to her did not? This guy is prone to violence. He failed the police test 4 times. Dumb ass should NOT have a gun.
That white lady was not innocent ..! So stfu. My balck ass along with many other black ass people have started a go fund me to help with his legal fees and anything else he wants or needs. Were going to make sure he gets off for killing that lady ??
Yes we have seen that.. just not in a case like this. Where a black cop kills a white women. This was frint page news in Australia, their calling for him to prosecuted asap. So we shall see
White privilege or Male privilege? We shall see.
?. They all ready bringing up past complaints
I knew it!!! Right on time
He will be convicted of murder. Which he should be and blue lives matter will use this to try and convince us that cops do get held accountable for murder
Exactly. Even the ‘black’ police chief came off vacation and threw him under the bus.
And Minneapolis does nothing,A Somalian terrorist murders an innocent woman, and the mayor and police chief do nothing. I feel sorry for the people of Minneapolis because their leaders are worthless
