Was she an Australian citizen?
I don't think she was in the US as a tourist if that's what you're asking. Aussie news outlets say she was living in Minneapolis with her fiance and his son.

The only way would if the other cop comes out as a witness against him. If not, then he might lose his job, but that's all the justice I would expect then.Well, he murdered the defenseless woman. Him getting away with it would be impossible... right?
911 is a last resort.
Police are no longer peace keepers

This is what i thought too. Because it makes no sense for someone to shoot through the door like this, possibly harming his partner as well. That's the kind of thing you see in movies, who does that in the real world?This story only makes sense if it was an accidental discharge. Otherwise it is bizarre that the pig would shoot through the door instead of the open window where his intended target was standing a few feet away.
It's definitely not routine. It's definitely terrible that it happens though.Such bullshit. I feel like there's nothing left to be said when it comes to police killing people. It's so routine in America, it's disgusting.
When we were on duty, we had to do an equipment check before going on patrol. Checked our cars for contraband, checked in-car and body cams, flashlights, etc. If anything wasn't working properly, it was documented on our check list sheets that we turn in after each shift. The supervisor (me) would be notified, and we also have to notify dispatch via radio call that "X" is not operational. That way it's logged on recorded radio transmission.honestly unless there's actual evidence that the camera had a legit malfunction, whenever a cop does something like this they should be arrested and put in protected custody, only to be released after a trial (and backpay if he/she is not guilty).
But I bet they'd even find ways around that. And there's also the fact that a trial would probably just end in the officer's acquittal anyway.
There's seriously something wrong with the training cops in the US get. I'm not sure how even other cops could defend this considering how freaking dangerous it must be to shoot past your partner.
You're not wrong with your first paragraph. Your prosecutor question wouldn't matter as the police can just stop working with the entire prosecutors' office.Shoot first, cover up later, rely on a populace who is full of hero worship and would never convictions a cop, and if things looks dicey hire for the defense that asshole who basically proves every shooting is justified based on tests run hundreds of times until he can record his desired outcome. And if someone questions you, threaten them with bogus but potentially irreparable damages (also do the same if called to an incident involving one of your own off duty or someone you know).
At least that is how it seems. I'm sure there are good cops, but its too bad they don't try to correct all this or that no one actions upon anything to fix this because of fear of retaliation. Here is a simple one: how about the prosecutor bring charges against a cop can't be the same prosecutor who works with the cop for all their cases?

Minneapolis is my city and this has me shook.
The only thing I can think right now is because this was a white woman in an upscale neighborhood that something might actually be done about it.
Sadly, there is truth to this. An analogy is the wave of drug decriminalization happening in municipalities across the country. Now that we see a ton of white people addicted to and overdosing on opiods and meth, suddenly there's interest in a public health approach to drug abuse. In the 80's and 90's when the face of drug abuse was urban Black and Brown folks, the response was overwhelmingly "Lock 'em up and throw away the key!" - an incredibly punitive, criminal justice approach (along with militarizing police, etc).seriously now America you need to demand your police force is trained to use firearms as a last resort now, because it seems you've become so lax in your oversight of Police they literally seem to be getting away with anything and everything
cynically it might take a white woman dying before something actually happens
This needs to be plastered on every news channel nationwide. That's not the typical face you see associated with victims of police brutality.Photo of victim. RIP.
From Minneapolis. Currently live in the suburbs. My wife and I are thinking of moving to this area of the city. We were looking at a home a few blocks from this shooting a week ago. It's definitely going to give us pause.

Don't hope. He'll get a job as a police officer in another town nearby. These killer officers aren't really fired. They're moved around like Catholic Church did with pedophile priests. New Yorker did an article on this sort of thing a while back, and found an officer with three negligent homicides who was still working as a police officer.

Well now...
How will Fox News spin this one?
She doesn't look like she has the dehumanising stare at all

I'm sure they can work some photoshop magic, or find some time she went out drinking and wasn't picture perfect, and she or a friend put the pictures on social media or some other manipulative bollocks that these types specialise in.

She's not american, Fox won't care. Even if she was, they'll just say something about family values or some other stupid shit.
Fuck cops. Fucking garbage.
Three sources with knowledge of the incident said Sunday that two officers in one squad car, responding to the 911 call, pulled into the alley. Damond, in her pajamas, went to the drivers side door and was talking to the driver. The officer in the passenger seat pulled his gun and shot Damond through the drivers side door, sources said. No weapon was found at the scene.
"No weapon was found at the scene."
I mean... is this purely stating that the woman wasn't armed, or does that include the cops gun involved in the actual murder?
I won't be waiting for any of the character assassination and "probably had it coming" we usually get along with these stories.
What if a toxicology test shows she partook in a chief session a couple hours before she was murdered?Well now...

s no footage present, then you get a warning or two and then you're out on your ass.
As for this murder, my crazy wild guess is that the partner was just fucking asleep or dozing off and woke up when the woman said something and he 'feared for his life' and shot her. Like I can't fathom what other motive the guy had to just shoot her if she had just been standing there normally talking with the driver.
Maybe he knew they had their cameras turned off and just wanted to shoot someone. It's not like there aren't people going into the police job so they can carry a gun and get away with shit they normally wouldn't.
