A lady called 911 over what she thought was a domestic disturbance in the back alley of her home.
Apparently Cop #1 took her to the side to talk to her...
Cop #2 (the one who took the shot, and apparently had only been on the force a year (year and a half maybe?)) at some point, while Cop #1 was talking with her, said she made an aggressive movement, reacted and shot her instantly, killing her, even with his partner standing right there.

She made an aggressive movement, missed that part.

According to police sources, Noor shot across his partner and out the window of the squad car, striking Damond. When Noor opened fire, his partner was "stunned," according to the source.

It was in one of the stories, swag... but we don't know. (she was the one who called 911, so why would she be aggressive?)
What I didn't get is (and I had them backwards). Noor was on the force for just under 3 years, his partner less than 2. is it normally to pair up two officers who are that 'inexperienced' together?

Quote:The Minneapolis police chief resigned on Friday in the wake of the fatal shooting of an Australian woman by a police officer on July 15.
Chief Janee Harteau resigned a day after making her initial remarks on the death of 40-year-old Justine Damond.
Harteau quit her position at the request of Mayor Betsy Hodges, according to a statement from the city.
Quote:On Thursday Harteau said that Damond “did not have to die,” adding that the actions of Officer Noor “go against who we are in the department” and against how officers are trained.
Noor has still not agreed to be interviewed about the incident.

If the policeman refuses to talk, he is not helping his ability to defend his actions, nor his motives. He is a Somali Muslim, just like you are a progressive antagonist. Is what it is.
Quote:The Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Justine Damond was put on an accelerated police cadet program that required only seven months of training, a nontraditional route that aims to help those who have a college degree enter law enforcement.
Quote:The Minnesota Police Department has been under fire since the July 15 shooting. Many have questioned Noor’s experience and training after only graduating in 2015. However, former Police Chief Janeé Harteau, who resigned last week, stood by Noor’s training.
“We have a very robust training and hiring process,” Harteau told reporters at a news conference last Thursday. “This officer completed that training very well, just like every officer. He was very suited to be on the street."
But others believe the fast-track program could leave officers ill prepared handle real-world police scenarios.
“The cadet program is rigorous, no doubt,” James Densley, a criminal justice associate professor at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, told the Star Tribune, “but it is also an immersive paramilitary experience, taught by practitioner faculty without advanced degrees, and I suspect it leaves students with a limited view of the profession.”
