What exactly did she think she was going to accomplish. I'm sorry, that was just DUMB!

I agree with you. This is in NO way saying she deserved what happened to her, but I too wonder what was she thinking. Earlier she thought a violent crime (maybe rape) was happening. She did the right thing and called the police. The police came. That was the time for her to let the police do their jobs and stay in her house.

Again, this line of thinking is not blaming the victim for getting shot and killed. If she wanted or needed an update from the police it would have been wiser to call back from the inside of her home.

Example: I decided to call the police on a wild party going on across the street from me (in a different town) some 15 years ago. Shortly after, a couple of squads arrived. I watched from my upstairs window (inside my house) as the police broke up the party. I did NOT, at any time, feel I should go outside and talk to the police. It would never occur to me that I (or anyone) should do that. Hey, that's why I called the police; to let them do their job.

Since I am on a c-d forum I feel the need to repeat: I AM NOT BLAMING HER FOR GETTING KILLED.

Lol. Please read post # 175 to correct the myth and clear up any possible confusion. Was fake outrage and a failed attempt to put words in my mouth by a poster that wants to deflect attention from his insulting the shooting victim.

That was EXACTLY my point. But the anti cop faction always has to have a good guy (Damond) to counter the bad guy (any cop). And did you see the video on the front page of the Star tribune website showing Damond saving a family of ducklings. I'm sorry, that is just asinine for what tries to pass as a serious newspaper.

Insulting the victim is in very poor taste IMO, whether it be rudely by minndavid with the word dumb in all caps or more tactfully by you. It works differently in her native Australia where people routinely walk up to police day and night for assistance. She had already called a second time. Believe she had only lived in Minneapolis for two years. Never thought I would be forced to defend an unarmed victim of gun violence that died so young on this thread.

Let's focus more on blaming the shooter that endangered his partner with a reckless shot and now is a coward that refuses to make a statement. Please don't anyone lecture me or anyone else about his rights (as we already know them anyways) when she suddenly lost EVERY one of her rights at age 40.

Agree to disagree.

(2nd paragraph )


Yes, refuses to take part in an investigation.


Maybe this " cowardice" is a " Muslim thing "


When that young Muslim man went on a stabbing rampage in a St Cloud mall, his parents immediately contacted a lawyer and refused to answer investigator's attempts to learn what triggered him to do it.


The parents certainly weren't suspects, but refused to give any info concerning recent behavior changes by their son.

If you think Cops " circle the wagon" defending fellow cops, you should see how Muslims circle the wagon defending a fellow Muslim.

Why is it asinine to share a good recent memory of her doing something positive when she was alive?

Anyone that thinks people seriously concerned about this shooting and critical of Noor are "anti-cop" is clearly wrong. Nothing could be more "pro-cop" than making sure Noor is no longer a police officer. Did you not read or hear former police chief Harteau's recent statement? The department rejects his actions as wrong and the two officers should have had the cameras on. I will be surprised if new police chief Arredondo does not agree.

I think the statements of the "anti-crime victim" faction are more offensive. Once again, she lost EVERY one of her rights at age 40.

Agree to disagree.

I will reserve judgement on that particular issue until I read articles about the reactions of Muslims in the region regarding this incident. I certainly agree that Noor is a coward. Am not ready to state an opinion of his neighbors and other Muslims yet.
