Police1 Editor at Large Doug Wyllie went on an Australian radio show to talk about the fatal Minneapolis officer-involved shooting of Justine Damond. Damond was fatally shot by Officer Mohamed Noor after she called 911 to report a possible assault behind her home on July 15, the Associated Press reported.

A police report said a woman “slapped” the back of the patrol car before Damond was shot. No body cameras or dash cameras recorded the incident. Since the shooting, Acting Police Chief Medaria Arradondo tightened the department’s body camera policy. Officers will be now be required to have their body cameras on when they respond to calls and make traffic stops, the Associated Press reported.
