Ex-cop sentenced to 12.5 years for killing of Australian woman

A former Minneapolis police officer was sentenced Friday to 12 years and six months in prison for the fatal shooting of an unarmed Australian woman who had been trying to report a crime.

Mohamed Noor, 33, was convicted in April of second-degree manslaughter and third-degree murder in the 2017 death of Justine Damond, in a case that shocked the Midwestern city and sparked outrage in the victim’s home country.

Noor was responding to her report of a possible sexual assault in an alley in Minneapolis.

At sentencing Noor told the judge of his horror over learning he had shot an innocent woman.

a teenager in Chicago 16 times pausing to reload while the kid is motionless on the pavement and he gets less than five years. Did I forget to mention the kid was a person of color?

Or that the Minneapolis cop was a person of color?

I'm glad police are starting to e charged in these events. But there still seems to be a blanket of white male privilege involved.
