What in the hell happened here?

Mohamed Noor, who joined the department in March 2015, shot Justine Diamond, 40, multiple times from the passenger seat of his squad car while she spoke to his colleague on the drivers side wearing her pajamas.

Yeah, I guess anyone can see why the cop was terrified.
 
It would be fitting that the one time a cop going to jail for shooting someone for no reason would be a Muslim killing a white yoga teacher.

And there it is. Expect to hear plenty more of that noise. Sadly, in terms of societal health, there is no suitable outcome here:

If he's acquited, it's spun as yet another example of a cop getting away with murder. Proof America is a corrupt police state.

If he's convicted, its spun as "when white cops kill blacks they go free, when black cops kill whites they go to jail." Proof of how racist America is.

Either way we end up an angrier place.

I'm guessing it was a case of cowardice, the cop saw her raise a cell phone and mistook it for a gun. In all similar cases the cop does not get convicted.

Sure, the spin makes people angry.

Not the action.
 
I meant about wanting the cop to be held accountable.
 
America loves cops and hates Muslims. Tough call.

That's what I thought, so I swung over to Breitbart to see how morons are taking this.

They're working through the nuance of this complicated situation and trying to decide what it all means in light of the ongoing national conversation about race, Islam, the thin blue line, body cams, police violence and criminal justice.

Just kidding!

WTF? If ever the cameras needed to be turned on.... Good luck selling the "I was in imminent fear for my life from the middle-aged white mom in her pajamas" defense.

When I saw the pic of the victim I'll admit I thought "well, at least this time it won't be used to stir up racial tension..." But, nooo, this time we get a black muslim cop, so it's still gonna be an ugly race thing. This country is so screwed.
Maybe they were hoodie pajamas.
 
Wouldn't it be a ***** if this woman turned out to be here illegally? Dip**** America's heads would explode.

"He's a cop!"

"True, but he's also a Mooslim!"

"I know! But he killed a white woman."

"True. A white illegal alien woman."

"Goddamit!"
 
Yeah let's have a name blockage for whoever can be a police officer.

Using the same criteria, also eliminated:

Timothys (McVeigh);

Teds (Kacyniski);

Lees (Oswald);

Johns (Wilkes Booth).

Wait? Not acceptable? Oh, we ignore all other acts of terrorism in our history and apply special rule only for Muslims, got it.
