As some are speculating, I will also guess that Officer Mohamed Noor, after hearing what might have sounded like a shot, may have believed Justine Damon had a gun in her hand as she leaned toward the squad car in her pajamas. If that was the case, his allegedly firing the shots that killed the unarmed Australian woman was simply the worst of judgments in the presence of panic. In saying all that, I'm straining - times 10 - to give him some benefit of the doubt though obviously none is deserved.
Since this whole nightmare has transpired I have noticed that Minneapolis' politically correct mayor - who had formerly been so vocal about her "equal opportunity" police force - is now not quite so instant in donning her hijab to do press interviews. And I have to agree with the recent words of the chief of police she scapegoated when she rightly noted that Justine's death simply, "should not have happened." In the meantime the Somalian Muslim officer who apparently fired the shots across the chest of his partner/driver, through the driver's window (a move that counters every bit of training a police officer receives) is not saying a word to a world that is demanding some explanation.
