Officer Sara Khalil, born in Iraq and raised in Pakistan, reported an incident of excessive force by a white male officer against a homeless Black man, leading to the officer’s dismissal. Subsequently, Khalil faced sexual and racial harassment within the department. She joined a sex discrimination lawsuit alongside other female officers. In September 2021, after taking unpaid leave due to a knee injury, Khalil was terminated for allegedly fraudulently claiming an injury, a charge she disputes as retaliatory.
