By Bryant Hevesi and Sam Duncan For Daily Mail Australia and Valerie Edwards For Dailymail.com, 22 July 2017:
The family of Justine Damond are outraged at claims she may have been on drugs at the time she was killed.
Their comments come as a mystery cyclist who witnessed a Minneapolis police officer shoot the Australian woman dead has been interviewed by authorities.
Bride-to-be Ms Damond was gunned down by police officer Mohamed Noor as she stood in her pyjamas outside her home in the US city on July 15.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension released a statement after speaking to the cyclist which said: ‘The individual has been cooperative and provided an interview [Friday, local time]’.
‘This individual was seen bicycling eastbound on West 51st Street immediately before the shooting and stopped at the scene and watched as the officers provided medical assistance to Justine Ruszczyk,’ the statement also said
The cyclist may also have vital video evidence of the fatal shooting which left Ms Damond dead.
A source in possession of direct knowledge of the investigation confirms the witness caught part of the fatal encounter on video, the Star Tribune reported.
Officer Noor, the police officer who fired the fatal shots, is yet to break his silence.
‘Officer Noor’s attorney has not provided any update about when, if ever, an interview would be possible,’ the BCA said.
‘Under the law, the BCA cannot compel the testimony of the officer.’
The lawyer for officer Mohamed Noor, Tom Plunkett, caused controversy for reportedly asking for a review into Justine Damond’s autopsy report to see if she had taken sleeping pills.
Ms Damond’s devastated family has slammed the move and declared the 40-year-old bride-to-be would never have taken drugs, News Corp reported.
‘It was absolutely sickening, and that’s the game these lawyers play, to try to attack the victim,’ family spokesman Tom Hyder said.
someone who only ate organic, she watched everything she ever put into her body.’
On Thursday, Mr Plunkett told CBS he would like a second lab to examine the results of the autopsy on Ms Damond because ‘it would be nice to know if there were some Ambien in her system’ but he later told AAP ‘It was a total misquote’.
Ambien is a sedative often prescribed to people who have difficulty sleeping.
A toxicology report has yet to be completed.

You bet it would have. And even the known/publicized circumstances given out so far sure don’t sound like the killed lady was any sort of criminal which would make you ask the obvious question. It sounds like this Muslim cop just killed an innocent white infidel when he had the opportunity.
He was responding to a call of a possible sexual assault, arrives on the scene, sees a white lady in her PJs’ and shoots her. Did he think SHE was doing the assault?? Did she even flee the scene? How much could the officer know at that point? WTH was on his mind?
Can’t wait to hear the course of THIS investigation.

Yes, and I really enjoy the info at the 10th Amendment Center. We have two “plagues”: The Islamic treachery and viciousness AND the brain-dead, lazy, and parasitic Congress.
This election (and Pres. Trump) certainly brought everything to a head and out in the open, where it should have been all along. Political correctness is actually a globalist ruse. We, the People, are being attacked on every front. We HAVE TO FIGHT BACK and be prepared for that fight….however that “unwinds”. We need to re-take our Republic from these deadly enemies.

“(You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind) (3:110).
Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Hurayrah commented on this Ayah, “(You, Muslims, are) the best nation of people for the people, you bring them tied in chains on their necks (capture them in war) and they later embrace Islam”.
muslims believe they are the best of all people, the rest of the world is here to serve them, rape, murder and theft from non muslims is completely acceptable to islam.

Agreed. It turns out the cyclist was eyewitness to the cops administering CPR after Noor had made the 911 call. That means they knew it was a “bad shoot” the instant it happened.

Your comment makes no sense at all. Cops do CPR on perps they shoot in good shootings, too. The victim called 911. Cops don’t call 911, they were there as the result of being called through 911.

They’ll use it to deflect responsibility of the cop. A known side effect of Ambien can be aggression.
His lawyer is drawing this right from the Dem playbook chapter called ‘Obfuscation, deflection and de-legitimizing’.

Considering the cop closest to the victim was not the shooter, it is not likely that the victim was being aggressive/ The fact that the murderer was furthest away, would indicate that this was a premeditated killing.

The bastard Somali shot the woman because she was not all veiled up, and was beautiful. That’s what they do in Somalia, murder women for nothing. The cop should be drug-tested for the favored Somali drugs – hashish and qat.

This video evidence will be unacceptable due to low quality, or disappear from the evidence storage room, Considering the legal gymnastics the city is going through, they know they are in for a multi million dollar lawsuit. They are already grasping at straws trying to find some way to blame the victim. The plain and simple facts are murder, very likely premeditated by noor, his actions alone caused the death of an innocent person, he will be accounting for it, as will his employer, the city administration.

It’s likely that the city administration will fork over a huge settlement. And whose money is that? Oh yes, that’s right, it’s the taxpayers’ money. So the taxpayers who are outraged over this homicide will have to pay the eventual settlement. The killer won’t, and he will not wind up in prison for the rest of his life as he ought to. Sad.

So what if the poor woman was on Ambien? I don’t see how that in any way mitigates the situation. Even if she was acting a little strange when she allegedly approached the police car, that’s no excuse to shoot her.

The shooter has two thing working in his favor. He’s black and he’s a Muslim, both reasons for the authorities to cover up the truth. Saying the victim was on drugs is just the first step. How would the driver of the squad car know is she was on drugs? Did he perform blood tests before his partner killed her? They are trying to get this case to the point that it really doesn’t pass the smell test. They are very close.

Glad to see the lawyers and the law have this under control. Beware, if you take ambien then a side-affect may be death by Muslim cop. No need to grill the cop though since he is part of the animal law of the jungle over there. An amalgamation of American law and sharia law is underway in this country and now is a terrible time in history to be an officer of the law. This pathetic excuse of a cop gives all good cops a bad name and further destroys the trust the population has with the peace-keepers. No way should someone with an anti-American thought process be allowed to police anywhere in the country much less live here. Here’s a thought, if you don’t like it here and you don’t like the women and their pajamas then get the hell out of this country. We don’t need you and we don’t want you or your filth here. If Islam and the Middle East are so damn good then why the hell do you want to come here to a supposedly inferior system. Oh, right…. Your primitive system has failed miserably and left your lands undesirable. It’s left your population behind in barbarism while the people starve to death and the religion is so good that you have to threaten death to anyone who leaves it. Guess you need us more than we will ever need you.

So officer Noor shot her because she was on Ambien? The cause of death was ruled a bullet to the gut not drug overdose. They are trying to say she was a druggie and that it is OK to shoot druggies.

I’m confused about this statement in Pamela’s article:
““This individual was seen bicycling eastbound on West 51st Street immediately before the shooting and stopped at the scene and watched as the officers provided medical assistance to Justine Ruszczyk,” the statement also said. The cyclist may also have vital video evidence of the fatal shooting which left Ms. Damond dead.”
Was the woman’s last name Ruszczyk or Damond? Were there 2 women in this story named Justine, or just one?
The name Ruszczyk appears more than once in the article above, so if it should be Damond, then make sure all of them are changed.

My take on this is that being a muslim, Noor would have seen Ms. Damond was dressed provocatively, and if she stirred his libido at all it had to be her fault. Thus she was not worthy to live. As a retired police officer, if my partner had fired on an unarmed woman, or even fired across me at anyone, there would not have to be an investigation into anything except why I killed the SOB.
