On July 15, 2017, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old white woman, called 9-1-1 to report an assault happening in the alley near her house. When the police arrived, she approached the driver’s side of the squad car, and the officer, startled, shot her in the chest and killed her. The police chief, a woman named Janée Harteau, was on vacation when it happened. She did not immediately return, nor did she address the issue, for several days. Less than a week later, the mayor asked Harteau to resign. She did.
