It makes sense to have diversity hiring for community policing, but not if you are jumping over more qualified candidates for less qualified diversity hires. Noor came to policing in his thirties, which is unusual. Still I could see how Minnesota would want a Somali on the force just for reaching out to that community. Noor had some complaints against him, but that is common for a lot of cops (complaints get made, most do not have a lot of merit). This shooting makes no sense, less even than the Castile shooting. Was it a matter of Noor's temperment, lack of training, or just a tragic mistake of the moment? We don't know yet. You may be right. Evi L.

Most police semi automatics are not prone to accidental discharge. I do not know what happened and the investigation is just starting, but with what little we do know, the likely explanation (at least now) is it was a mistake (he saw a cell phone in her hand and thought it was a weapon). <br />Evi L.
