Mohamed Noor was freed 18 days shy of the fifth anniversary of the fatal shooting of Damond,a dual US-Australian citizen.
Mohamed Noor was convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of Justine Ruszczyk Damond,a dual US-Australian citizen.
Noor's sentence for killing Australian Justine Ruszczyk Damond was a victory for white America because he had to pay for the sin of mistakenly killing a white person.
Noor,who is serving a 12.5 year prison sentence after a Minneapolis jury found him guilty of third-degree murder of the Australian,filed an appeal on Friday.
The former police officer has also been moved to a prison outside of Minnesota.
Mohamed Noor said he"knew in an instant I was wrong"and apologised to Damond's family,just moments before a judge sentenced him to prison.
Lawyers for Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor requested he be allowed to mark the anniversaries of Australian Justine Damond's birth and death.
Audio recordings of Damond's two calls to the police were made public on Thursday.
The family of a man shot dead by Minneapolis police are demanding a $US20 million payout equal to what the family of Justine Ruszczyk-Damond received.
The civil settlement comes comes just three days after a former Minneapolis police officer was convicted of Damond's murder.
Race was barely mentioned in court during the Justine Ruszczyk Damond murder trial. But it's what made this case so compelling,divisive and fraught.
