Do you actually believe that Noor intentionally shot Damand, but Chauvin didn't intentionally asphyxiate Floyd?
As I stated earlier, when the cop is non-white and/or the deceased is white, their intention is not presumed by the press and amplified in order to outrage a mob, such as in the case of Chauvin, where it was, whereas in the case of Noor it was not.
Noor intentionally killed someone he had not even identified, but incorrectly thought was a threat. It's a very different scenario from Chauvin.
If I'm not mistaken, Chauvin was convicted of having intent, so that's the decision. I think this is the distinction in MN between murder 2 and murder 3, but I could be wrong; anyway, Chauvin was convicted of both. Personally, I just can't see why Chauvin would intentionally have done it, as opposed to negligently. Am I just too naïve? Chauvin had been on the force like 18 years and knew he had cameras on him, so why?
I do know of one case in Florida 2016 where a cop killed a woman during a public relations drill the PD was doing with the public in front of their HQ. It was the old, "Gee these were supposed to be blanks," excuse. I think it's likely that cop is a psycho and intentionally murdered a woman while being photographed, so I think intentional murders by police are possible and I could list many others from just the past 10 years. Chauvin doesn't fit; I could be wrong.
I asked earlier. Who did you expect to protest the Damand killing? Well, the Somalia-American community did.
Did they protest the killing of Damand or the firing and prosecution of Noor?
I think you're making my point for me. There is a presumption of racial bias in these cases of white cop & non-white victim that always makes the non-white the victim regardless of the facts of the particular case, or the overall statistical trends. And you're also now showing how there were racial tensions in the Noor case when before you said there weren't. Noor's action was beyond outrageous and resulted in the death of the innocent person who called the police. It's a disgrace that Somalis protested and claimed his prosecution was racially motivated.
So, are you saying that, in his case, "justice" was not served?
Because justice is not an abstract concept that can be conveniently re-defined ad hoc, it's very easy for me to say justice was served by the courts in the Noor case.
