title is misleading, she was not being raped


.
On the night of the shooting, Damond called 9-1-1 at 11:27 pm and again at 11:35 pm.[22] She reported that she thought she heard a woman either having sex or being raped.[23] Dispatchers categorized the call as "unknown trouble: female screaming"—a relatively low priority. Officers Noor and Harrity responded to the low-crime neighborhood of Fulton, in southwestern Minneapolis, drove their police Ford Explorer with lights off through the alley[24] and found no suspects or signs of the suspected rape that had prompted Damond's calls.[25]

As the officers prepared to leave, Noor "entered 'Code Four' into the cruiser's computer, meaning the scene was safe".[24] Harrity would later indicate "that he was startled by a loud sound near the squad" and, just then, Damond approached the police car's driver-side window.[26] Harrity drew his weapon, but pointed it downward and did not fire.[27] Noor, however, fired once through the open window, fatally striking an unarmed and barefoot Damond in the abdomen.[24][26] The officers attempted CPR to no avail; Damond died 20 minutes later.[28] Harrity later told a supervisor "We both got spooked."[24]

At Noor's trial, Harrity testified of hearing "something hit the car and I also hear some sort of murmur" and that he feared an "ambush" but deemed it "premature" to use deadly force.[27] Noor testified that he did not see Damond's hand or any object in it, but nonetheless believed that his partner "feared for his life" and "there was a threat".[29] The prosecutors presented evidence that Damond's fingerprints were not on the police car, suggesting she had never made contact with it, and called two expert witnesses on police use of force, who testified that Noor's decision to shoot was unreasonable.[30]

Both officers had their body cameras switched off.[31] Minneapolis introduced police body cameras in 2016, but their activation was not mandatory in all situations.[32] No audio or video recordings captured the killing,[24] although a 16-year-old bicyclist took cell-phone video of the scene after the shooting.[33]

People have been championing for police to be held more accountable for their actions, so :yeshrug:

57 months is a trash sentence though and definitely deserved more.

Black Cops always get their accountability when they do something fukked up. You're acting deliberately ignorant to what kind of Cops get away crime and who the victims are.

Dude got that sentence because he was black and she was white.

Above the fray.
Somali community in MN has been on both ends of this type of story in the past five years.

There have been a number of Somali Americans injured or killed at the hands of police in that state.
