Civil rights lawsuit against Noor, Minneapolis moves forward after conviction

The day after a jury found former officer Mohamed Noor guilty of murdering Justine Ruszczyk Damond, members of the Minneapolis City Council met for nearly two hours in a closed-door session to discuss what could become one of the city's largest police-misconduct payouts.

The Ruszczyk family last year filed a $50 million civil rights lawsuit against Noor, the police department and the city alleging unreasonable use of deadly force, improper training and a conspiracy to cover up the shooting on the part of Noor and his fellow officers.
