A Black cop's murder conviction was overturned. For Minneapolis' Somali community, justice is complicated.

Almost a year before outrage over George Floyd's death under the knee of police officer Derek Chauvin rocked Minneapolis, hundreds gathered in front of the downtown courthouse in support of another former officer: Mohamed Noor.

Hours before Noor was sentenced in the death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, speakers led the crowd — some of whom were Somali-American, like Noor — in prayer and spoke out against what they called a double standard for people of color in the criminal justice system.

Noor fatally shot Damond, who was white, in July 2017 after she called 911 to report a possible crime and approached his squad car in an alley behind her home. He was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, and sentenced to 12 ½ years.
