MN - Justine Damond, 40, fatally shot by Minneapolis LE, 15 July 2017 #2

If Justine was at the back of the vehicle they wouldn't have seen her. She was only seen when at the window on Harrity's side.

That's what Harrity says. We don't know when the cop who shot her first saw her. Somebody claims she slapped the back of the car so presumably somebody saw her do it?

Not necessarily. If they were in her line of vision from inside her home she could of gone out after them as they drove by, and approached from the back, hence the slapping on the vehicle to get their attention.

Earlier on, much was made of the account that she was killed 100 metres from her home.

Well yes i gather someone saw her do that, otherwise how would they know?

They drove past her home so she could have wanted to talk to them and followed the car.

We don't really know exactly because there are some conflicting msm articles as is what happens a lot when following cases here.

that is what has been reported they drove past her home..per her call the activity was near her home in the alley...I believe she saw them go by and thought they were leaving and came up from behind. It is really not hard to visualize...I think this case is so simple that people just feel they have to make to complicated...but rest assured the attorneys will do an excellent job of bringing in every theory possible if this goes to court. Have to wonder what both officers are doing...again given the simple nature of this it seems like BCA should have what they need...people keeping talking about months to wait...maybe they just do that to lessen the impact to public if no charges filed?

Very possibly because i can't imagine the police car would of been going very fast at all when scoping out the situation.

What is so sad here is that Justine thought she hears a crime being committed in the alley and was distressed by it enough to call 911. What did she actually hear though? No one else seems to have heard or been distressed by anything, and nothing of any type of crime had been reported the next day in msm, but Justine was shot and killed by a police officer that night, and she was the only victim reported in the media the following day.

Most of the people I know do not get involved and off no they are not shady characters. They have just learned to not get involved. My hubby is like that. A Man that would give you the shirt off of his back will Not get involved.

I don't believe this slapping of the vehicle. This was not reported in the beginning.... this came out days later after some round tabling was done in my opinion.

 

[jjenny]

Slapping the vehicle was in the search warrant obtained hours after the shooting. Not reported right away doesn't mean it wasn't alleged right away (which it was).

I thought "giving the shirt off one's back" is a metaphor for getting involved.

Well unless there were witnesses from start to end, the LE that night are the only ones to tell the story and would have had an incident report to relay.
I imagine Noor & Harrity were questioned separately as to why Justine was killed that night, but i don't know?

Justine will never be able to give her account of what went on that night. That kind of skews it a bit, don't you think? She is dead, silenced forever.

Not necessarily. Giving the shirt off ones back is giving someone help. I'd give my last dollar to help someone in need is a similar metaphor. It doesn't necessarily mean I'd jump in front of a bullet for someone.

 

[Karinna]

Obviously. But it is still an ongoing investigation. What else can be done in this situation? It's horrible and should never of happened, but seems to happen a lot to other innocent people as well. It needs to be fixed for sure.

Has Noor been questioned yet?

 

[Karinna]

Has Noor been questioned yet?

I would imagine he had to give his account of what happened to the BCA?

Sadly she didn't realize the potential dangers of living in America, because even though she was a dual citizen she spent most of her life living in Australia.
As i said when living in another country there are differences in cultures, and she was probably naive about that to an extent seeing as she hadn't lived in the States for very long.

We still don't know what she was thinking or doing in the moments leading up to her death. We will probably never know. So how can we say she didn't realize the potential dangers of living in America? A lot of Americans might have done exactly what she did. She wasn't breaking any laws and as far as we know she had no reason to think the police would find her threatening.

Well of course we don't know and won't know why she did what she did to go out there. But as some posters here have mentioned there is no way they would approach a LE vehicle, and i personally wouldn't either. And if others do, then that is their decision too and i don't have any problem with that. Just depends on the person i guess.

just don't get what is so hard to believe about it....I assume when Noor tells his story and eventually he will have to he will confirm it...probably exactly what I would do if a car is leaving and I need desperately to get their attention.
