MINNEAPOLIS – A former Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed an unarmed woman who had called 911 said Friday he “knew in an instant I was wrong” and apologized to her family, just moments before a judge brushed off a defense request for leniency and ordered him to prison for 12½ years.
Mohamed Noor was convicted in April of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the July 2017 death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old dual citizen of the U.S. and Australia. Noor shot Damond when she approached his squad car in the alley behind her home.
Noor’s lawyers had argued for a light sentence, saying sending him to prison would only compound the tragedy and keep him from doing service to make amends.
But Judge Kathryn Quaintance sentenced Noor, 33, to a term identical to the recommendation under state guidelines.

A light sentence, in the proverbial pig’s eye.
A Convicted Police Officer Only Serves HARD Time in Prison . . . if he even so much as survives it !!!
I hope he gets what he deserves and that’s to know each of the convicts on a personal level!
The DemonRat Cheif of Police & Mayor wanted diversity (Radical Muslims added to the police force) It cost the taxpayers Millions. The COP & the the Mayor should be doing time.
I am a Minnesotan and have followed this case closely the scumbag should have gotten LIFE! But if your a cop the police union gets you out of it. In this case the lightest prison sentence possible. Fascism
His victim was an Infidel. The holey koran tells good Muslims how to treat Infidels.
Ahhh, another Muslim run amok, poor police man. Sorry no feelings, should have got life, like the life he took.
Next: James Comey, John Brennan, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, Hillary Clinton, and others!
He should’ve been put to death like he did the innocent woman no one will ever learn anything with the leniency of these morons judges and Democrats
