For the first time since the early 1900's my state, a police officer was convicted of murder for a shooting while of duty.
What is so different about this case? The woman was a white woman ( Australian national) and the cop was Somali.
The government here apologized to the people of Australia
So is this man a murderer because he is a Muslim, Somali, or Black? Maybe it was the combination of the three that did it. First Somali in his precinct.
"The case made international headlines, sparked protests and led to the ouster of the Minneapolis police chief. The city settled a lawsuit with her family for $20 million, among the largest ever for a police shooting in the United States."
Somali-American Police Officer Sentenced to 12.5 Years in Death of Minneapolis Woman
Are we ready to admit there is a problem yet? Why does one family get a murder conviction and 20 million for their trouble and another gets not even a free burial? Still want to deny a double standard?
