Minneapolis: Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman to plead self-defense
Self-defense? She was an unarmed woman in pajamas who approached the squad car window because she had called the police for help. This is a familiar pattern: Islamic supremacists always claim that whatever they did was someone else’s fault. Muzzammil Hassan, the Buffalo, New York moderate Muslim leader who beheaded his wife, claimed she beat him, and he was just defending himself. Turkan Lowmani, who stabbed his wife 21 times, claimed that his wife “had grabbed the knife first and he had taken it from her before a struggle ensued.” 68-old-year Komar Uddin, accused of raping a teenage girl, claimed she made all the advances upon him.
And now this. Mohamed Noor may get away with this, because in Minneapolis today, to doubt his word might be “Islamophobic.” But he still stands as a monument to the error, still uncorrected, of hiring police officers based on their race and religion rather than on their competence.

Prosecutors say Noor fatally shot Ruszczyk through the open driver’s side window after she approached the squad car from behind.Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said when he announced charges that there was “no evidence that Officer Noor encountered a threat, appreciated a threat, investigated a threat or confirmed a threat that justified his decision to use deadly force.”The document filed Wednesday is called a rule nine disclosure. It states that Noor intends to rely on defenses at trial that include arguing that he’s not guilty, that it was self-defense and that it was a reasonable use of force….Minneapolis police announced shortly after the charges that Noor was no longer with the department. He is currently free on bail….
