Everyone has heard about Justine Ruszczyk getting murdered by a policeman, but now we know what startled the terrified office. She slapped the side of the police car. Yes. A slap on the side of a car will get you murdered.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/25/us/minneapolis-police-shooting-slap/index.html

In an interview with investigators last week, one of the two Minneapolis police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk said he was startled by a "loud sound" near the squad car.

Immediately after that loud sound, Ruszczyk approached the driver's side window of the car and was fatally shot by Officer Mohamed Noor, according to investigators.
A recently revealed search warrant may explain the source of that startling sound: a slap.

[Waddle Dee]

That "easily startled" sign is even more accurate than I thought. Holy shit.

 

[howdyjacker]

Welp, there you go gif.

 

[ponpo]

Immediately after that loud sound, Ruszczyk approached the driver's side window of the car and was fatally shot by Officer Mohamed Noor, according to investigators.

Officer Mohamed? So which side are the people who usually back police taking in this scenar-

Oh ok.

 

[How About No]

Jesus Fucking Christ

I'd like to take back my previous objection. Having the Punisher logo on police car hoods is entirely appropriate, and should actually probably be mandatory.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

Didn't the shooter fire across the driver and through the driver side window? Seems incredibly stupid and reckless.

The Punisher at least makes sure to usually kill deplorable villains tho.

 

[Seesaw15]

Usually that's enough to get the officer off. Lets see how this plays out.

 

[How About No]

Also allegedly had the gun laying in his lap before the shooting

The coverage on this has been night and day of pass shootings despite mirroring them

"Upon police arrival, a female 'slaps' the back of the patrol squad," the search warrant states, according to Minneapolis Public Radio. "After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley."

So, they don't know, but let's pretend like we do know?

 

[RRockman]

Disgusting. I hate US cops. I don't ever feel safe with them around.

 

[Waddle Dee]

So, they don't know, but let's pretend like we do know?

It's a cop shooting an unarmed civilian. What on earth could excuse this?

 

[Stinkles]

Officer Mohamed? So which side are the people who usually back police taking in this scenar-

Oh ok.

WHAT THE FUDGE?

Is she saying Somalis are defacto murderers? I can't even.

 

[polyh3dron]

yep, shouldn't slap police cars, you'll make the cops fear for their lives.

she should've known better.

she sounds like a thug tbh, i bet the autopsy will show weed in her system too

 

[GoldenEye 007]

WHAT THE FUDGE?

It's Ann Coulter. Of course she's saying that.

Yep. The pictures they show of this woman, pretty and happy with her fiance, are totally different than what they show of innocent black Americans (including children!!) who are gunned down by cops. The language in the press, totally different. And on right-leaning websites and forums that celebrated when Philando Castile's murderer went free, or when Trayvon Martin's murderer went free, there is outrage at this woman's death.

This is why we need Black Lives Matter. Because right now, to many Americans, our lives don't matter.

 

[Waddle Dee]

Disgusting. I hate US cops. I don't ever feel safe with them around.

I'm white as fuck but even I feel the same way. Not much better than a terrorist group that gets to walk around in public.

 

[How About No]

Ann Coulter comments need a NSFL warning on them

 

[Acorn]

That car was one day away from retirement man.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Officer Mohamed? So which side are the people who usually back police taking in this scenar-

Oh ok.

I don't understand what the point is she's making. There are 65,000 Somalis in London alone, does that mean that Londoners are likely to be shot be a Somali policeman?

 

[Kinitari]

Officer Mohamed? So which side are the people who usually back police taking in this scenar-

Oh ok.

So she's not even dancing around it a little bit.

 

[jellies_two]

It's Ann Coulter. Of course she's saying that.

She is also wrong mathematically since based on her numbers the per capita Somali killer ratio is the same.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

So I guess this thread is about Ann Coulter now?

 

[Sir Abacus]

Rule of thumb for Ann Coulter is she always means things in the most offensive and racist way. She's saying somalis are defacto murderers because hurr durr I'm controversial.

What a racist piece of trash, that Ann Coulter.

Man Ann Coulter can fuck right off. What an evil malicious bitch.

which past shooting mirrors a scenario where the person calling for police help is shot by the responding police?

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Oh ok.

I can't respect a country that cultivates, celebrates and coddles this shit.

I really don't like America as a country.

I hope you ar ent an American asking a question like this.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

The car was an autobot.

 

[diablos991]

Maybe we need to put the sticker on the police cars to ensure people don't startle them.

I don't think the "something slapped the car and scared me so badly I unholstered my sidearm and shot the source of the noise" defense will work so well for this officer.

If somebody is that jumpy they shouldn't be carrying a loaded firearm and be tasked with protecting civilians.

 

[shira]

And the cameras were off. How convenient that this guy that nobody wants around straight up murders a civilian.

 

[mugen812]

Oh ok.

Wow.

 

[jellies_two]

Wow.

It's worth reporting to twitter because it so obviously falls under their target a group rules. Whether mathematicians or Somalis. I did anyway.

 

[andythinkpad]

Well the officer was feared for his life.

 

[FStubbs]

What a racist piece of trash, that Ann Coulter.

Why are we talking about Coultergeist? Let's get back on topic.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Cops are racist, cowardly pieces of fecal matter.

 

[innervision961]

Officer Mohamed? So which side are the people who usually back police taking in this scenar-

Oh ok.

Australia also doesn't have any Ann Coulters and we have 1 so maybe that's the difference.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Once again, a cop pulling the "I was sc-sc-scared!" excuse. If your mentality to loud noises is automatically pulling out your gun and shooting the first person you see, you're an idiot and you don't deserve to be a cop.

Fuck all of these dumbass pigs.

The gun was already out.

 

[Finalizer]

this really needed to be the first post

 

[Christhor]

WHAT THE FUDGE?

Is she saying Somalis are defacto murderers? I can't even.

If she was, then how would this "never happen" in Australia?

 

[Malvolio]

Dehumanizing slap.

 

[Mahonay]

Yup.

 

[F34R]

It's a cop shooting an unarmed civilian. What on earth could excuse this?

I didn't say anything excused anything. I'm saying they are trying to lead into something they don't even know at this point. That's all. It's even quoted in the main post, and everyone automatically jumps on it like it's a known fact, without question, that she slapped the car, and the cop shot her. smh The main post even says "may explain", and that's ridiculous to even suggest that it explains it at all.

 

[kswiston]

If she was, then how would this "never happen" in Australia?

Plus 10k in Australia is a bigger proportion than 100k in the US.

Nothing in that tweet is logical. Even if you take it as a precursor that she is a racist. It even fails racist logic.
