Get the popcorn ready.

The Minneapolis Chief of Police, now formerly chief apparently due to political insensitivity regarding especially favored minorities, is an openly gay woman. Culture wars to ensue.

I love cheap drama.

I was proud of the people who were at this press conference last night. They showed that this isn't a black or white matter, and were furious when it's a white victim and black police officer. They were loud but never violent. No shouts or chants advocating violence or diving into the gutter.

The ACLU, BLM, and others should take note.

I wonder what the mayor has done with the other cop who witnessed the shooting? Is he now persona non grata?

This one is more distressing than most. You actually call the police because you think/hear a crime taking place, run out to meet them in your PJs, and somehow get shot and killed? On top of it all, it was a woman (who are less threatening both physically and due to the fairer sex rarely being violent, particularly to the point of shoot or be shot). So now we can't even feel safe to call the police for help? This is a bad one.

The shooter, Noor is refusing to cooperate and is walking free
It must be too PC to arrest him for murder, they are giving him the chance to flee back to Somalia. He should be under house arrest at least.

The Muslim shooter Noor's lawyer is asking for an independent autopsy to see if the drug Ambien was in the victims system.
So in Al Franken's great State of Minnesota shooting someone on Ambien is somehow legal.?

The Mayor is also asking all Muslims to report any hate crimes to the police.

Does that include people who hate the mayor?

He was a cop on the job, but interesting that you went with "Muslim shooter" as your description despite the fact that his religion has nothing to do with anything

At this point none of us have any idea whether or not the cops religious beliefs had anything to do with the shooting.

Right, cuz if the cop was white and his name was Goldstein, he would be the "Jew shooter" and we'd all be wondering if his religious beliefs had something to do with what happened
