There does seem to be a different reaction to this police killing.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/19/us/minneapolis-shooting-upended-outrage-trnd/index.html

"There's a predictable pattern to the aftermath of too many deadly police shootings: Neighbors and anti-police brutality groups take to the streets. Groups supporting the officers stand up for them. Social media lights up over whether the victim "did something" to provoke the officer.
But none of that holds true in the case of Justine Ruszczyk, a white Australian bride-to-be who was killed by Mohamed Noor, a Somali-American black police officer in Minneapolis.
And that, say experts, speaks volumes about the state of America today."

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/19/opinions/justine-ruszczyk-shooting-opinion-love/index.html

"The recent shooting death of Justine Ruszczyk by police officer Mohamed Noor in Minneapolis is a reminder of the problem of police violence and lethal force in that city and around the nation. This case comes only a month after a former police officer in a nearby suburb, Jeronimo Yanez, was found not guilty in the July 2016 fatal shooting of Philando Castile.

This most recent case, however, does not adhere to the typical pattern, in which the victim is black and the offending police officer is not."

The police department said the squad car's camera also failed to capture the incident.

Turned off body camera and staying outside the squad car's camera? Clear indication of criminal intent.

Unless their procedure is to turn on body cams when exiting the car. As for squad car camera: it hangs on the windshield and points forward. How the fuck could it capture a cop sitting inside and shooting through the driver's window?

That jumpy moron probably overreacted when that poor woman suddenly stepped out of darkness. Not a fucking excuse, of course, but "criminal intent"?

If the situation were reversed and a civilian avoided cameras and shot a cop, you'd call that criminal intent.

And what possible reason could justify lowering the window and shooting the person instead of shouting "police, freeze" or driving the car away from the situation?

Shoot first and ask questions later is criminal intent.

Also, get your story straight with your buddy Strategist. I can't be both unwilling to call this cop a criminal and too willing to do so.

Aaaaaand we lost him again.

That's a non-argument.

Yet another blessing of diversity. First Somali officer in his precinct.

Shot her multiple times from the passenger seat of the police car as she stood outside the driver's side.

multiple times?

Yes, apparently:

KTSP also reported some of the same details, adding that Damond was shot multiple times.

Whoodo thought? Isn't America great? Shitting bush babies in ditches is a major welfare fueled profit center. They used to be used as hyena bait in Somalia.

One hundred million a year to fund Al Shabab!

Remember this the next time a Democrat demands MOAR of our money with higher taxes.

It's never too late for a Kavanaugh GoFundMe! Soros will probably throw in 100k just to be safe.

California has this problem too with illegals.

Muslims are just the worst.
Everything.
If you combine African and Muslim you have a truly hellish brew of bad.

gosh, a bunch of black Africans get shipped to a lily-white country and it's stunning that they have problems integrating.
By the way, what does a normal Finn cost the country from day one? Where's that number? Probably similar for homegrown Finns from zero to death.
More racist bullshit wrapped up in cherry-picked numbers.
fuck off.

Yet when hundreds of thousands (millions?) of of brown Latin Americans with little education sneak into America, you all pretend there is no impact to integration, our welfare systems and our economy.

Which is it?

Explain the Nigerian success story in America then. Why are Nigerian immigrants (black as can be) such success stories on a super high percentage, even topping the average for Asian immigrants? How about Jamaican and Haitian immigrants? Still doing great. But Somalis have a problem, not just in finland but in the USA as well. Are the Nigerians any less black? So we come back to culture being the problem. As it always is. Not race. Culture. Not all cultures are equal. Some produce wonders. Others produce misery.

Agreed. Historically, the US legal immigration model has been a smashing success because we select for people who believe in Western democracy, the values of the Enlightenment, and individual responsibility and entrepreneurship. And the newcomers keep raising the bar. Europe does not get this for some reason.

Quigley says

Many Nigerian immigrants educated themselves back in Nigeria, which has a British Style Education System, and most apply through the usual immigration channels.

Most Somalians are barbarian 4th Worlders who come through via pressure groups using refugee/asylee programs. If they have any education at all, it was from an Islamist Salafi/Wahabi Madrassah.

The official language of Nigeria is English and, to some extent, Nigerians come through a merit-based immigration system. That's a great start right there and exactly what many (including Trump) propose for all immigrants.

This type of immigration will bankrupt Finland. At that point, quality of life with crash and immigration will stop, since Finland will be a worse place to live than wherever it is that immigrants are coming from. (At least people who stay in Somalia aren't freezing to death 6 months of the year.)

No, it's actually not stunning and could be seen from a thousand miles away if the policymakers were not wearing their pink-colored blinders. It was a mistake to bring them there, pure and simple.

Fake News, racism, Islamophobia, and something else...forgot the term

@Expat01 The number they gave in the article for a normal Finn was zero. Zero.

Which makes sense, because Finns produce what Finns consume, on average.

The Nigerian immigrants who do well in the US are almost entirely Igbo.

The Igbo are first of all Christians, so not about to murder anybody in the name of religion, and second of all, the overachievers of Africa. They are well known in Nigeria for their business skills and determination. They were massacred in large numbers by the Muslims during the Biafran War:

@Partrick
Finland is running a debt to GDP ratio of 61%. This cannot be caused by refugees alone so this means that Finns cost more than zero. The author does not say why or how native born Finns were set at zero but the interpretation given to these figures by the author and many of the readers would be that Finns use up exactly as much government resources as they pay in taxes over their lifetime. Bullshit. Finland runs a deficit which exceed the expenditures on refugees.
And since when is running a government a cost-benefit analysis? Should Finland, or any country, euthanize all handicapped because they are a net frain on society? This article is just racist xenophobia disguised as economic analysis.

Uber and Lyft need to add contract drive-by's to their business model.

Was that a vertical career move? Yusuf Abdi Ali is a highly rated Uber driver in the Washington, DC, area ......he's a people pleaser..

1)Why is a Somali in our country? Someone fucked up, probably Obama the traitor.
2)He only killed Somalis, and that’s doing the world a service. Might as well complain about killing pirates or wharf rats.

Anyone can drive for Uber/Lyft. Their driver screening is a joke. An Uber driver refusing to take 6 passengers when he only has 5 seatbelt positions in his vehicle will get kicked out the system before a rapist will. In most areas, actual cab drivers have fingerprint based background checks.

Just because he is a war criminal doesn't mean he is a bad driver.

If it were California, the jury would have given him an exception and a gold star and let him off with time served.

Pig:" we didn't break in, the door was open"

Same thing happened to me. I got caught out after curfew. Cops said if my Mom can pick us up soon, we don't have to goto jail. The pig went to her house and knocked, but she was asleep. Pig goes inside and scares my mom to death when she awoke to a flashlight in her eyes and a strange mans voice in her bedroom.

He said "the front door was wide open, so I had to enter to investigate for safety purposes"

Bull fucking shit, he was just hoping to see some kid's mom naked.

I have a hard time believing the front door was even unlocked. I think he went around the side of the house through a side door.
