Police released bodycam video in July of officers responding to a domestic dispute. It shows Miller moving towards officers with a knife.

Police said the 64-year-old refused to drop the knife and the officer opened fire, killing her.

Monday night her family demanded change in policing policies.

The group disrupted Monday night’s village meeting, chanting calls for justice for Madeline Miller.

There was a recess called and then the agenda went as planned.
