Prosecutors rest their case against a former Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed an unarmed woman who approached his squad car, and it appeared the ex-officer would soon take the stand to testify.
A former Minneapolis police officer on trial in the fatal shooting of an unarmed woman who had called 911 to report a possible sexual assault near her home testified Thursday about his training for possible ambushes, saying he learned that reacting too late"means ... you die."
Noor described"counter-ambush" training that included scenarios such as two officers in a squad car, doing routine tasks, and an instructor yelling"Threat!" The officers had to make a quick decision about whether to shoot, Noor said. "So the point is if you don't do your job correctly, you'll get killed," his attorney Thomas Plunkett said.The death of Damond, a 40-year-old life coach who was engaged to be married a month after her death, sparked anger and disbelief in both the U.S. and Australia, cost the city's police chief her job and contributed to the mayor's electoral defeat a few months later.
