Excerpt:
When Mohamed Noor joined the Minneapolis police force and was assigned to patrol the city's southwest corner, the Somali community there — the nation's largest — threw a party for him to celebrate.
He was the first Somali American officer to serve in Minneapolis's fifth precinct and one of fewer than a dozen Somali American officers in the department. His presence on the squad brought Somali activists some pride and reassurance at a time of Islamophobia in America and nationwide racial tension stoked in part by shootings of black people by white police officers.
Now that same Somali community is bracing for a backlash against Noor that has already begun.
