If I see the new officer, can I make a citizen’s arrest?

There are lots of ethnic Somalis on the Minneapolis police force. But they are naturalized citizens of the USA.

This woman is the first non-citizen.

Because the real point is eliminating citizenship privilege.

"Minneapolis Swears In First Non-U.S. Citizen as Police Officer"

This was the purpose of the "defund the police" movement and Barry's "civilian national security force;" to replace legacy US citizens as LEOs with foreigners who would have no problem exterminating legacy US citizens when the order came down.

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. --Barack Obama

I am not seeing the outrage. I am OUTRAGED. This needs to be National News on every Talk show Monday. understand. I bet that she is a nice person, probably far better and more qualified than the other somalis on the force because she is the kamels nose under our tent. (yes I know the traditional way to spell camel, whatever potatoe peeps. Dan was a brain surgeon compared to some our recent leader people)

Ex-Minneapolis police officer Somali Mohamed Noor
released from prison in fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk

Noor showed up to a 911 call and fatally shot the unarmed woman who called 911 to report a possible sexual assault

Noor was initially convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter, but the top charge was dismissed and he was resentenced.

MINNEAPOLIS — A former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an unarmed woman who called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home was released from prison on parole Monday, months after his murder conviction was overturned and he was resentenced on a lesser charge.

The Minnesota Department of Corrections website said Mohamed Noor, 36, was placed under the supervision of Hennepin County Community Corrections. He was freed 18 days shy of the fifth anniversary of the July 15, 2017, fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old dual U.S.-Australian citizen and yoga teacher who was engaged to be married.

Corrections Department spokesman Nicholas Kimball confirmed that Noor was released Monday morning. He said he couldn’t confirm where Noor will be living, but that released offenders are generally supervised by the county where they live. He said Noor was held in North Dakota for most of his sentence and had no disciplinary issues in prison.

2021: Ex-Minneapolis police officer Noor resentenced to 57 months in prison

Noor’s attorney, Thomas Plunkett, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. On Friday, he said he wanted to respect Noor’s privacy.

Noor was initially convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter, but last year the Minnesota Supreme Court tossed out his murder conviction and 12 1/2-year sentence, saying that charge didn’t apply to the case. He was re-sentenced to four years and nine months on the manslaughter charge.

In Minnesota, it’s presumed that a defendant with good behavior will serve two-thirds of a sentence in prison and the rest on parole. Noor will be on supervised release until Jan. 24, 2024.

1. So she can't even make a "citizen's arrest."

2. How long until we have our first "illegal alien police officer?"

I will never comply with a cop that I know to be a foreigner/alien. I don’t care if it’s just for a speeding ticket.

FTA-——Minneapolis was rocked in 2017 when police officer and Somali-native Mohamed Noor shot and killed an Australian woman while responding to a 911 call.

Somali Officer Noor was eventually convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter, though the state Supreme court later vacated the third-degree conviction. Ultimately, Noor was sentenced to 57 months for murdering the woman.

The city received widespread criticism over the move on social media. X chief Elon Musk, for one, was disturbed by the news that a non-citizen was given powers to detain, arrest, and jail American citizens.

Musk likened the situation to the fall of the Roman Empire, adding that “the Roman Army also increasingly relied on non-citizens.”
