One read, “You ain’t safe. We finna change your pronouns soon. Was/were.” Another said that Silva’s “AR will track y’all down.” And yet another read, “The only power you’ll see is the one from a barrel and a 9mm,” according to investigative documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silva is one of the 148 California law enforcement officers who engaged in explicitly biased conduct between 2014 and 2024, according to an investigation by The California Newsroom and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program. Records show the officers used racist, sexist and homophobic slurs; mocked transgender people; made violent comments about Black people; and demeaned members of the public, co-workers and incarcerated people, records show. Yet only about 12% were fired because of their conduct. Silva was not one of them. After leaving Delano, he went on to work for police departments in Avenal and Wasco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news organizations reviewed thousands of pages of internal affairs investigations, disciplinary records and court filings obtained from nearly 500 law enforcement and oversight agencies. The records show that some officers accused of overtly biased behavior often faced limited consequences, such as a letter of reprimand or training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or POST, \u003ca href=\"https://post.ca.gov/Decertification-Process\">determines whether to decertify officers\u003c/a>, barring them from working in law enforcement in the state. However, the responsibility to investigate misconduct and impose discipline generally falls to individual agencies and local oversight boards, according to POST.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that system, more than 40% of officers identified by the news organizations still work in California law enforcement, excluding corrections officers. Silva did not respond to requests for comment. The Delano Police Department confirmed that Silva worked there until 2023, but declined further comment. Attorneys, law enforcement officials and academics said the behavior erodes public trust, raises questions about officers’ credibility in court and undermines efforts to recruit and retain diverse police forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Trump administration greenlights new oil and gas developments in California\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Trump Administration is taking another step toward restarting \u003ca href=\"https://www.blm.gov/announcement/blm-approves-oil-and-gas-management-updates-south-central-california\">oil and gas development\u003c/a> on federal lands in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plans cover federal lands in 18 counties, including parts of the Central Coast, Central Valley and Southern California. Gabe Garcia with the Bureau of Land Management said the plans support the administration’s goal of increasing domestic energy production. “There’s oil that we use in California that is imported from a lot of different different countries,” he said. “And so I think the administration is driving to give people the opportunity to produce more oil here in California on federal land so that we can help with the need for our state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BLM decision does not authorize new drilling. Instead, companies must first place a bid to lease a parcel of land. Then, each proposal would go through its own environmental review and public comment process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, environmental groups said they’re preparing a legal challenge.

One office — the Madera County District Attorney’s Office — said it does not maintain such a list. Several district attorneys said they could not locate Brady material on the officers in question, while most declined to say whether the officers appeared on their lists.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bias extended beyond the public to incarcerated people and fellow officers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The investigation also revealed dozens of instances of biased behavior against Black people, including 23 officers who were disciplined for using the n-word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our profession, there’s no room for us to be able to do that,” said Sheryl Victorian, the chief of police in Waco, Texas, who advocates for strong relationships between police and the communities they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cases include a number of officers who made comments or shared images mocking George Floyd in the wake of his murder by Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin.

After a proposed bill that would have created an official state commission to address the issue was abandoned, two advocacy groups, the Wren Collective and UC Berkeley’s Criminal Law and Justice Center, decided to form an independent commission and began assembling participants who could develop and act on reforms.[aside postID=news_12088076 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/250418-SFPDFile-01-BL_qed.jpg']These types of commissions, which have facilitated significant improvements in other states’ public defender systems, are usually established by the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It became clear that this was an issue that was not a high priority for Sacramento, especially during a budget crisis,” said Chesa Boudin, the Berkeley center’s founding director and a former San Francisco district attorney. It also became clear, Boudin said, that “there was a tremendous gap between what experts understood to be the crisis and the public perception of California government as a kind of progressive leader in the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the decades since the U.S. Supreme Court established the right to an attorney in state court criminal proceedings, California has saddled its counties with the responsibility of providing lawyers to poor people accused of crimes. Many of those counties have opted for the cheapest path: paying private lawyers and firms a flat fee to represent indigent defendants, regardless of how many cases they handle or how much time they spend on each case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve got some offices that have an incredibly high caliber of representation that they can provide, and you have other offices that are doing these flat-fee contracts where the quality has been documented to be pretty bad,” said Eve Brensike Primus, a law professor at the University of Michigan. Primus is the only member of the new commission from outside of California. She was asked to join because of her extensive research and writing about the structure of indigent defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An indigent defense commission in Michigan, which was formed by the legislature in 2013, has led to significant reforms and a substantial influx in state funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11930102\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11930102\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696.jpg\" alt=\"A young white man with a beard stands in a blue suit outside a gray building\" width=\"1024\" height=\"705\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696-800x551.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696-1020x702.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696-160x110.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former District Attorney Chesa Boudin is seen outside the Hall of Justice in San Francisco on Dec. 30, 2020. \u003ccite>(Paul Chinn/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The California commission’s work, Primus said, can serve “as a catalyst for political actors to do the right thing and start to fund and improve indigent defense delivery, or as fodder for lawsuits that then can try to get the judiciary to push the political actors to do what is necessary to provide for effective representation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission is scheduled to hold its first in-person meeting, which will be open to the public, in Berkeley in October, with additional meetings planned for Los Angeles, the Central Valley and Northern California over the next 12 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commissioners say they will work in subcommittees in-between these quarterly sessions to develop a concrete fiscal plan for the state, draft legislative language, and establish minimum standards for how counties should structure their public defender offices, compensate their attorneys, provide access to experts, and report on their work.
