Mohammad Noor shot a bride-to-be in Minneapolis after arriving on scene where she wanted to report a crime.

His identity has been known for hours. CNN and other mainstream news outlets are not identifying the police officer or showing his picture. Why is this?

I vividly remember the officers who were involved in civilian shooters being identified and posted on their website.

The officer involved in the shooting, Mohammed Noor, extended his condolences to the family in a statement through his attorney. Noor came to the United States at a young age and is thankful to have had so many opportunities, attorney Thomas Plunkett said.
"He takes these events very seriously because, for him, being a police officer is a calling," the lawyer said in a statement. "He joined the police force to serve the community and to protect the people he serves. Officer Noor is a caring person with a family he loves and he empathizes with the loss others are experiencing."
"The current environment for police is difficult, but Officer Noor accepts this as part of his calling. We would like to say more, and will in the future," the statement said. "At this time, however, there are several investigations ongoing and Officer Noor wants to respect the privacy to the family and asks the same in return during this difficult period."

The officer who fired the shot was identified Monday afternoon as Mohammed Noor, multiple police sources told KARE. The police department has not released the identity of the officer as their investigation continues.

Noor, who joined the force in 2015, was celebrated as the Fifth Precinct's first Somali officer, and he was recognized in May 2016 by Mayor Betsy Hodges, who called his assignment a "wonderful sign of building trust and community policing at work."

Noor%u2019s lawyer, Tom Plunkett, said in a statement to KARE that Noor %u201Cextends his condolences to the family and anyone else who has been touched by this event. He takes their loss seriously and keeps them in his daily thoughts and prayers.%u201D

You are right about his name. I did a Ctrl+F for his name and it didn't initially come up for some reason. My mistake.

How come they are not displaying his picture? It's standard routine for them to display other officer's pictures. His identity (and picture) have been out for the better part of the day. I can't find his picture on CNN or other big mainstream sources.

Noor respects the privacy of the victim, and expects the same in return.

I haven't mentioned one thing about the case yet, except a sarcastic parody of leftists when a white officer kills a black person.

I'm just here pointing out inconsistencies and wondering why his picture isn't all over the front pages like other officers pictures were before. Everyone knows what Darren Wilson looks like. Why can't people know what this officer looks like?

That's due to police/lawyer not identifying him... not the press. The moment he was identified, his name and picture were everywhere.

Their headline gives a description of the officer and within the article links to the website of where they received this information from. Within that website, it lists the officer's name and contains the officer's picture.

They should probably have reported this story better, but I'm not that concerned with them about covering up and hiding information such as CNN and the other big networks routinely do.

No, on their website before you click the link.

Why is CNN and other mainstream news outlets not posting this officer's picture? Doesn't it seem odd to you? Will they ever post his picture? How long will it take and why aren't they doing it?

Never.

Because they are propaganda for those who want white genocide to happen.

It's not. I realize it's on several sites, but not any major mainstream network sites, including CNN.

Truth is, I have no idea how to explain the editorial decisions made by CNN; I'm not privy to those conversations. Generally, they're a subpar news network that leans towards sensationalism in the quest for ratings (as is inevitable), and I'm not here to defend them.

Must have just been a convenient mistake all (or at least most from what I see) major mainstream networks made today. CNN loves pictures. They're really good at it too, seems like a weird thing to forget when reporting a story.

Most people will just read the headline, in fact. Pictures are often important in reporting during our modern times. CNN usually does a side by side (victim - officer) placed right below their headline. Then, once you click the article, there is another picture of the officer. Sometimes more.

Not this time.

Why? His post didn't address my entire grievance. No one has been able to show me otherwise.

We all know the mainstream media has no issue posting other police officer's pictures. It's not a secret. I don't understand why people in this topic are just dismissing my questions. "They forgot" or "they don't have the picture" isn't a good reason--and it's about all anyone ITT can come up with, too.
