Maybe since this was a white, blonde, woman this one will finally turn the tide in this police corruption:

Minneapolis Police Kill Australian Woman—After She Called for Their Help

An Australian woman is dead after being fatally shot in her Minnesota home by police, according to the Star Tribune local newspaper.

Forty-year-old Justine Damond, a meditation guide and coach who had been living in the U.S. for about three years, had called the police regarding a possible assault she heard near her home in Minneapolis, the Star Tribune reported. After two officers arrived at Damond's home around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, one officer shot her.

Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) was unable to determine why Damond was shot because the responding officers did not have their body cameras turned on. However, sources told the Star Tribune that Damond met the officers outside of her home and was speaking with the officer in the driver's seat when the officer in the passenger's seat shot her through the door...

...Justine Damond is the 524th person to be shot and killed by police officers in 2017, according to the Washington Post's Fatal Force database, which tracks the number of people who have been killed by police throughout the year in gun-related incidents. Of those killed so far this year, 23 have been women.

That's almost three persons a day dead to police shootings across our country.

Shouldn't this be a real concern to the entire American populace...

...or is this just another symptom of our racist culture - especially under the Trump regime.

  America has become a police state.  Cops can kill a person for no reason, "I was afraid for my safety" and they will not be prosecute  by the prosecutor or there is a hung jury by some dumb ass on the jury saying cops can't be wrong.   :rant:

  Over in Noblesville I seen a car pulled over with one man in it.  There were 4 police cars at the scene, three backing up the first cop.  It seem the cops are yellow to the marrow of their bones.  Shoot first and then lie to get out of it.

  I wonder the cost of all the cops here in America.  I think there are to many cops and too many stupid cops.  One city lowered the requirements to be a cop, because there were not enough intelligent people to fill the roster.   :mad: :rant:

So far, nothing.

They're being really hush hush about the whole thing.  I think the woman's family and fiancé deserve transparency and some answers.  Pretty damn quick too.
