No, they're pointing guns at protestors. People who are not threatening anyone.
Not that it would matter to you anyway.
I'm defending citizens and their constitutional rights.
I hate what is being done to this country by people who don't understand what makes it great. I don't think authoritarian, violent, and unaccountable law enforcement is an American ideal.
No they are not. They are pointing guns at threatening rioters. Why shouldn’t DECENT Americans be able to protect their lives against deranged traitors?
There is no constitutional right to obstruct law enforcement and drive your car toward police.
You’re brainwashed and gullible. (The two are related.)
I hate that leftists are on the side of illegal aliens and against law enforcement, on the side of Islamists and against Jews, on the side of lazy welfare recipients and against the working class, and on the side of criminals and against law-abiders.

What murder?The FBI will now take sole authority in the investigation of the ICE murder in Minnesota. Minnesota state authorities will not be alowed access to any of the evidence about the killing. So here we see another fascist move by this government.
Minneapolis ICE shooting: FBI will lead investigation; BCA won't have access to case material
The FBI will lead the investigation into the fatal shooting by an ICE official in Minneapolis, and state officials are barred from helping in the investigation, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA).
The BCA says it was called to help investigate, but federal officials have "reversed course" and now the BCA will no longer have access to case materials.

And you know this how? You're totally clairvoyant and are aware of everything that tens of thousands of ICE agents have done in the last year?
Or you're just telling yourself these things because it feels better.
There's a constitutional right to not be harassed by law enforcement when engaging in protected activity. Law enforcement does not have the authority to arrest and detain people who are not doing anything wrong, but they do again and again. There have been no repercussions to their behavior. We can come up with many examples, none of which you care about whatsoever.
This administration, including you, don't respect the constitution and are happy to deprive people of their rights. That is criminal, but you're on the side of a criminal administration.
OK….I reached my “Mariner Moron” quotient and will be signing off.
[Plus. I’m due to interfere with a police operation and need to get going.)

The dead womans sexual preference isirrelevant. But if you want to get all moralistic, Babbitt was an irrational hothead who tried running a woman off a road because she was trying to take her man and was shot while with a mob trying to break into the speaker's chamber as she went through a window busted open by that same mob.

Renee Good was a trained activist who spent her life interfering with ICE operations. She thought there was no risk because democrat politicians encouraged her. She was wrong. She got exactly what she deserved.

On July 15, 2017, Justine Damond (née Ruszczyk),[3] a 40-year-old Australian-American woman,[4] was fatally shot by Minneapolis Police Department officer Mohamed Noor after she had called 9-1-1 to report the possible assault of a woman in an alley behind her house. Occurring weeks after a high-profile manslaughter trial acquittal in the 2016 police killing of Philando Castile, also in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, the shooting exacerbated existing tensions and attracted national and international press.[5]In April 2019, Noor was tried before a jury on charges of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. Noor claimed self defense. The jury convicted Noor of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, but he was acquitted on the charge of intentional second degree murder.[6] In June 2019, Noor was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison.[7] Noor's conviction on third-degree murder was overturned by the Minnesota Supreme Court on September 15, 2021.[8] In October 2021, his sentence was revised to 4.75 years in prison, with credit for time served.[2] Noor was released from custody on June 27, 2022, and was ordered to remain on supervised release until January 24, 2024.[9]
Damond's family brought a civil lawsuit against the City of Minneapolis alleging violation of Damond's civil rights, which the city settled for US$20 million in 2019.[10][7]
People involved
Justine Damond
Justine Maia Damond (April 4, 1977 – July 15, 2017) grew up in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, New South Wales, and attended Manly High School. She graduated in 2002 from the University of Sydney as a veterinarian, then worked as a spiritual healer and meditation coach. She met Don Damond, a U.S. citizen, while attending a neuroscience workshop.[11] The couple became engaged on December 29, 2014,[12] and planned to marry in August 2017. Damond stopped using her surname Ruszczyk and took the Damond family name ahead of their marriage.[13] Damond held dual Australian and United States citizenship, as her father, John Ruszczyk, holds US citizenship.[14]Mohamed Noor
Not to be confused with Minnesota politician Mohamud Noor.Mohamed Mohamed Noor[15] (born October 20, 1985, in Qoryoley, Somalia)[16] was the officer who shot Damond. Noor's partner, Matthew Harrity (then 25 years old), was the driver of their squad car.[17] Noor had been lauded in the past by Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges and the local Somali community as one of the first Somali-American police officers in the area.[18] At the time of the shooting, Noor had been with the Minneapolis Police Department for 21 months; Harrity had been on the force for one year.[17]
In two years as a police officer, Noor had three formal complaints against him, two of which, in September 2017, were pending resolution. In a separate case from May 2017, he was being sued for allegedly assaulting a woman while on duty.[19] In September 2018, it was reported that in 2015, two psychiatrists and other training officers had raised concerns about Noor's fitness for police duty. Two months before the shooting, Noor allegedly pointed a gun at the head of a driver he had pulled over for a minor traffic violation.[20]
Incident
On the night of the shooting, Damond called 9-1-1 at 11:27 p.m. and again at 11:35 p.m.[21] She reported that she thought she heard a woman either having sex or being raped.[22] Dispatchers categorized the call as "unknown trouble: female screaming"—a relatively low priority. Officers Noor and Harrity responded to the low-crime neighborhood of Fulton, in southwestern Minneapolis, drove their police Ford Explorer with lights off through the alley[23] and found no suspects or signs of the suspected rape that had prompted Damond's calls.[24]As the officers prepared to leave, Noor "entered 'Code Four' into the cruiser's computer, meaning the scene was safe".[23] Harrity would later indicate "that he was startled by a loud sound near the squad" and, just then, Damond approached the police car's driver-side window.[25] Harrity drew his weapon, but pointed it downward and did not fire.[26] Noor, however, fired once through the open window, fatally striking an unarmed and barefoot Damond in the abdomen.[23][25] The officers attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation to no avail; Damond died 20 minutes later.[27] Harrity later told a supervisor "We both got spooked."[23]
At Noor's trial, Harrity testified of hearing "something hit the car and I also hear some sort of murmur" and that he feared an "ambush" but deemed it "premature" to use deadly force.[26] Noor testified that he did not see Damond's hand or any object in it, but nonetheless believed that his partner "feared for his life" and "there was a threat".[28] The prosecutors presented evidence that Damond's fingerprints were not on the police car, suggesting she had never made contact with it, and called two expert witnesses on police use of force, who testified that Noor's decision to shoot was unreasonable.[29]
Both officers had their police body cameras switched off.[30] Minneapolis introduced police body cameras in 2016, but their activation was not mandatory in all situations.[31] No audio or video recordings captured the killing,[23] although a 16-year-old bicyclist took cell-phone video of the scene after the shooting.[32]
Reactions
In the United States
The day after the killing, a vigil in Damond's memory was held at the site of her death in the alleyway entrance located on the north side of West 51st Street between Xerxes Avenue South and Washburn Avenue South in Minneapolis.[33] Several days after the killing, hundreds marched to Beard's Plaisance Park in Minneapolis, in memory of Damond.[34] A memorial service for Damond was held on 11 August 2017, on the shore of Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. The service was at the bandshell and there was a silent walk around the lake afterwards. It was attended by Damond's family and fiancé, and about 1,000 mourners.[35]The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) issued a statement calling the non-use of body cameras "unacceptable". The Minneapolis Police Conduct Oversight Commission concurred with the ACLU opinion that "body cameras should be on at all times."[36]
Former U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann from Minnesota alleged in a speech on July 19, 2017, that Noor was an "affirmative-action hire". Speaking to World Net Daily, Bachmann said, "Noor comes from the mandated cover-up women culture. That's why I'm wondering if they'll ask whether his cultural views led him to shoot her. That's something, if true, I can't imagine the progressives would allow to get out."[37]
In Australia
Malcolm Turnbull, the prime minister of Australia, said that the Australian government wanted answers:[38]Damond's family and friends held a sunrise vigil for her at Freshwater Beach on July 19, 2017.[39] A further sunrise vigil was conducted at the same beach on July 15, 2018.[40]
Attorney statements
Harrity's attorney Fred Bruno told the Star Tribune that "it's certainly reasonable" to assume any officer would be concerned about an ambush. He referred to the recent death of a New York City officer killed in her squad car.[41] Damond's family retained attorney Robert Bennett, the same lawyer who represented the family of Philando Castile. In a televised interview, he dismissed the claims of Harrity's attorney (that it was reasonable for the officers to fear ambush) as "disinformation".[42]Criminal case
Investigation
An application for a search warrant to search the alley where the shooting occurred, referring to the shooting incident, stated "Upon police arrival, a female 'slaps' the back of the patrol squad. After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley."[43] Among items collected were fingerprints from the rear cargo door window of the squad car.[44]Hours after the shooting, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators controversially obtained a second search warrant and carried out a search of Damond's home for evidence, including "'bodily fluids, controlled substances, and writings". They did not take anything from the property.[45] Noor refused to speak with investigators, invoking his right against self-incrimination.[46] Noor and Harrity were then on paid administrative leave.[47]
Minneapolis Chief of Police Janeé Harteau was on vacation leave at the time of Damond's killing and returned to Minneapolis four days later.[48] At a press conference after her return, Harteau said, "Justine didn't have to die...The death of Justine should not have happened." Regarding Noor's refusal to speak to investigators, Harteau said, "I would prefer Officer Noor would speak."[49]
In February 2018, a grand jury was convened to investigate Damond's death.[50] On February 15, 2018, Harrity appeared before the grand jury.[51]
Trial
.jpg)
News media at the announcement of Noor's verdict, April 30, 2019
On March 20, 2018, a warrant was issued for third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter charges, and Noor turned himself in to police. He also resigned from the Minneapolis Police Department.[52] Bail was set at $400,000, and Noor was released from jail on March 22.[53] With the approval of the court, prosecutors later upgraded the charges against Noor to second-degree intentional murder.[54]
On April 30, 2019, following a jury trial, Noor was convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.[55][56] Under Minnesota law, third-degree murder is defined as "a person causing the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and without regard for human life, but without intent to cause the death of any person"; second-degree manslaughter is defined as "whoever by culpable negligence, whereby he creates an unreasonable risk and consciously takes the chance of causing death or great bodily harm to another person, causes the death of another is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree".[57] After the verdict, his bail was revoked and he was taken to jail to await sentencing.
The Somali-American Police Association issued a statement after the verdict claiming that racial bias contributed to Noor's conviction.[58]
On June 7, 2019, Noor was sentenced to 12½ years in prison.[7] He was initially incarcerated at Oak Park Heights prison, but was transferred out of state to North Dakota State Penitentiary in Bismarck in July 2019 for his safety.[59]
Appeal
On February 1, 2021, the Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed Noor's conviction of third-degree murder.[60] Noor then appealed to the Minnesota Supreme Court,[61] arguing that the facts did not support a conviction on that charge. On September 15, 2021, the Minnesota Supreme Court reversed Noor's third-degree murder conviction on the basis that the state failed to prove that he committed murder with a "depraved mind" which is a "generalized indifference to human life" as required for the offense of third-degree murder. As the conduct in this case did not meet that standard, the Supreme Court directed the trial court to vacate the conviction of third-degree murder and sentence Noor for the lesser offense of second-degree manslaughter.[8]

I know about the case.
So you can stop with the white whataboutism. That cop got prison.
A whole ot of white cops are walking the streets after killing us and have been doing so for over 100 years.
Are you white racists ever going to grow up and take the responsibility you demand others to take?

You shouldn’t be in this thread.
The number of white cops who have killed unarmed black men is negligible. Out of 50 million police encounters per year, many with drunk, belligerent criminals, perhaps 2 or 3 end in unjustifiable homicide.
How about you try to get the black crime rate down to the level of whites? Take responsibility for the fact that half the violent crime is committed by 14% of the population.

Time to haul her butch in. Essentially those two have effectively orphaned their children due to their selfish and dangerous behavior.
One is dead because the other told her to "drive, baby, drive."
This isn't f**king Thelma and Louise.
