Quote:What the report calls “the most tragic manifestation of the failure to protect public safety” was the death of Heather D. Heyer, a counterprotester who the police say was killed by a white supremacist who drove into a street that was closed to traffic, and thick with pedestrians. An officer assigned to keep cars off the street had felt threatened, so the police had withdrawn her.
