Two charges in Minneapolis that many Australians became aware of after the shooting death of unarmed Sydney woman Justine Ruszczyk Damond, in her pyjamas in a back alley, at the hands of a police officer in 2017.
The prosecutor said bringing charges in cases involving police officers normally take from nine months to one year.
“This is the same charges that we made when we charged former Minneapolis Police officer Mohamed Noor,” he said.
Noor, the officer who shot and killed Damond, was sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison after he was convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Jeronimo Yanez, the officer who killed Philando Castile, was acquitted on all charges.
In 2017 Ms Ruszczyk, a 40-year-old Australian life coach and yoga instructor, called 911 when she heard a woman’s screams from an alley behind her house.
She was fatally shot in the stomach by Noor from his squad car after approaching barefoot in the darkness. He testified he feared he was being ambushed.
Why are we all so excited over a BLACK man killed by a white cop BUT NOTHING of the equal NATIONAL riots, angst when a WHITE woman was killed by a black cop???
