[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 74018775, member: 302807"] I'm at a loss here....people felt 12.5 years was too much? Or not enough? This is one of those rare shootings that was without even an official explanation for how it happened. The victim had called 911 to report what she thought was a sexual assault, approached the police car that responded, and was shot by officer Noor. The police weren't responding to a report of an armed subject, to my knowledge, and the victim wasn't carrying anything gun-like which could have been mistaken for a weapon (unless one counts her glittery cellphone) not that officer Noor claimed to have seen a weapon anyway. It seems like it's rather commonplace when responding to a residential area to be approached by the person who called 911. That's what made this an unusual case....even a very imaginative person would struggle to come up with a valid reason for the shooting. I also recall reading an article about officer Noor regarding his substandard performance as an officer. Perhaps the story should be about the importance of diversity. I understand some may want this to be a discussion about how he got a more severe sentence because of his race or religion....but if such importance wasn't placed upon these things, and complaints about lack of diversity in police departments so prevalent, perhaps he wouldn't have been a cop at all.
