Use-of-force expert: None needed in Noor's fatal encounter with Damond

The Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Justine Ruszczyk Damond two summers ago had no reason to use deadly force and violated department policy and national standards by doing so, two use-of-force experts said Wednesday.

Even if former officer Mohamed Noor had been startled by a loud noise that night, as defense attorneys claim, he would not have been justified in using a Taser or pepper spray — much less his gun, the prosecution witnesses testified.
