Last night, the mayor of Minneapolis, Betsy Hodges, announced that police chief, Janee Harteau, had tendered her resignation after this week’s fatal shooting of an unarmed white woman, Justine Damond, by a Minneapolis police officer. Fox News carried the press conference live. Only a few minutes into reading a statement, Hodges was interrupted by protestors calling for her resignation. Hodges tried to quell the voices for a few minutes but quickly gave up leaving the room to the varied voices of protestors of all colors.

The protestors aired grievances that the police department had been waging a war on the citizens and that the problem was not with the individual, it was with the institution. They wanted all of Hodges’ staff to go with her. They said, “bye, bye, Betsy,” “this is the people’s house,” and that they would run the city now. They were a motley crew, but they were well behaved, except for the talking over and refusing to shut up.
