Minneapolis To Reduce Police Psych Testing After Screening Out Too Many Minorities


Minneapolis To Reduce Police Psych Testing After Screening Out Too Many Minorities
Posted By Anders Hagstrom On 1:53 PM 12/15/2017 In | No Comments

The city of Minneapolis may fire its police psychology evaluator because his tests screened out too many minority candidates, despite already lowering psych evaluations far below the national standard.
The July police shooting of Justine Damond triggered the city to scrutinize its psychological standards for police, with many claiming they’d become lax. Psychiatrist Thomas Gratzer has run psych testing for the Minneapolis police for the past five years, and in that time, he has eliminated four of the five tests used to determine whether a candidate is fit to be an officer, APM reported Thursday. Now, Gratzer is facing firing not for gutting his standard, but for screening out too many minorities.
Mohamed Noor, the officer who shot Damond, is Somali and was one of 200 cops approved by Gratzer’s standards over the past five years, which were already far below the national standard. (RELATED: 150 Minnesota Cops Are Convicted Criminals)
Minneapolis used a more standard five-test procedure up until 2012, and according to a 2004 federal study, those tests worked. The study found that the officers flagged as concerning by the tests were three times more likely to engage in misconduct, APM reported.


There’s no way to verify whether Noor shot Damond due to mental unfitness, but many are calling for him to be charged due to the circumstances of the encounter. Noor and his partner were responding to Damond’s call when she exited her home and approached the police car. Noor claims to have then heard a loud banging noise as someone–presumably Damond–slapped the car.
Seconds later, Noor opened fire and Damond was killed.
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges took to Facebook following the shooting, immediately coming to the defense of Minnesota’s Somali community.
“To the Somali community: I want you to know that you are a valued and appreciated part of Minneapolis,” she wrote. “I stand with you and support you. The strength and beauty of the Somali and East African communities are a vital part of what makes Minneapolis so strong and beautiful. I am grateful to be your neighbor.”

Noor has not faced any charges.

Noor should face the death penalty...no more BS.

Thomas Gratzer should be held as an accessory to this murder, and any and all other crimes incurred that have been as a result of Noor and any other unsuitable police candidates - since he directly enabled them to gain their positions of authority.

JUSTINE DAMOND SHOOTING: POLICE OFFICER MOHAMED NOOR CHARGED WITH MURDER

Published: March 20, 2018
Damond’s family said in a written statement the charges were “one step toward justice”, and said they were pleased the Hennepin county attorney "Mike Freeman had decided to bring charges. They said they hoped a strong case would be presented and Noor would be convicted." Quote from Blacklisted News:

The strength and beauty of the Somali and East African communities are a vital part of what makes Minneapolis so strong and beautiful.

Are there new definitions for the the words strength and beauty  in MN that differ from the rest of the planet?

Justine Damond was certainly enriched by Mohamed Noor's strength and it was such a beautiful outcome, that I'm sure all native Minnesotans are proud of.
