Travis Walker, the SWAT team commander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker says they’d decided to train on Wednesday in part to learn some lessons from the deadly shooting in Colorado Springs, Colo., last week. This response isn’t unique to San Bernardino; in the weeks since the terrorist attacks in Paris, local law enforcement agencies around the country have been preparing for the possibility of more challenging attacks. In San Bernardino on Wednesday morning, Walker was running his officers through scenarios with volunteers playing the role of shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d just finished a training scenario that involved multiple shooters at multiple locations within a small confined area,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then they were off — to the scene of a real-life multiple-shooter attack. They didn’t get there in time to stop it, but the suspects were killed in a shootout later in the day. Walker and his team were there for that, too, using armored vehicles to get close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That scene was meaningful because those were the very same kind of armored vehicles that for the past year or so have become a symbol of what some people call police militarization, something that’s gotten a bad rap since the Ferguson, Mo., protests last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker says now people can see why they have the heavy gear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Society has changed, weaponry has changed that individuals have access to,” he says. “And it’s not that we seek to militarize law enforcement. The goal is to try to make sure that we reduce the number of human casualties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with the attacks in Paris, the San Bernardino massacre is being seen as vindication of the idea that American police have no choice but to train and gear up for military-style confrontations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe the equipment is necessary,” says Mark Lomax, executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association. “Because we’re one of the few countries in the world where our military doesn’t have any legal authority inside the country,” and he says police are simply the first line of defense for increasingly sophisticated shooting attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most policing experts agree this kind of gear is needed, but some of the more reform-minded experts are also apprehensive. They’re watching for the fallout from attacks like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What went through my mind was the fear that people were going to jump to the conclusion that, oh, my gosh, we have to go back to just being warriors,” says Sue Rahr, who runs the police academy in Washington state. Rahr was part of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, where she argued strongly for police to think of themselves less as warriors and more as “guardians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Frankly, the most important thing we can do is figure out ways to prevent or predict when these are going to happen so we can stop them before they happen,” she says, “because there’s no way — with the best training and equipment in the world, we [only] have about two or three minutes before the worst of it is usually over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rahr says even with military-style training and gear, police should think like guardians. And San Bernardino may be a case in point. Walker recalls the active-shooter safety classes his officers have been teaching in the community. He says they taught one of those classes at the Inland Regional Center last year, and on Wednesday his men saw people there using those techniques, something he believes saved lives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2015 NPR.

In the end, he landed a job at the music streaming service Pandora, one of the first tech companies to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Office-Space-Pandora-perks-include-free-gadget-5940432.php\">set up shop in Oakland\u003c/a>.

It has changed a lot since the late 1980s, when plain beige towers called California Mart bustled with all things related to the garment industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Weitman grew up around the garment industry and remembers Cal Mart's heyday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was first-generation migrant workers working their butts off all day long on a sewing machine or cutting tables, and these buildings were just humming. And there were racks rolling in and out all day long.

Deputies' 'background, training and experience' with armed suspects triggers a self-protection response when a suspect's hands disappear, he said.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>American police have considerable leeway in these situations because of two Supreme Court rulings in the late 1980s. In essence, the court held that officers may use deadly force if they have a reasonable belief that the suspect poses imminent danger of bodily harm to them or someone else. In addition, officers may not be judged based on information they didn't have at the moment they employed deadly force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, on Monday, the Supreme Court bolstered the protections for officers, when it ruled that an officer in Texas could not be sued for shooting into a fleeing car from a highway overpass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say these standards are only fair, and without them they would live in constant fear of being second-guessed after the fact. They say if they had to worry about being prosecuted for honest mistakes or for misreading a threat, they wouldn't be able to do their job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side, groups such as Black Lives Matter say this benefit of the doubt has gone too far. They say prosecutors are too deferential to police, and overly aggressive use of force routinely gets a pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Growing Efforts To Collect Statistics\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Missing from this debate are good numbers. The federal government has tried — and failed — to get police agencies to report details about the use of deadly force. FBI Director James Comey often complains about how little data Americans have to work with, when debating policing and race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some police organizations say it's a problem; they say the current national discussion relies too much on anecdotes and high-profile incidents caught on video, and they say better statistics would create a more sympathetic view of how police use force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government isn't about to require police agencies to start reporting these numbers, but it is experimenting with the next best thing. The Bureau of Justice Statistics has a pilot program to gather detailed information about \"arrest-related deaths\" in America — and they're going to use \"open-source data\" as a basis for their statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, they'll draw on information that media organizations such as KPCC are collecting on police shootings. Equipped with these numbers, the BJS will then ask police agencies directly for more information on the cases that have been identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 Southern California Public Radio.

Of the people shot, about one in four was unarmed.

As \u003ca href=\"http://projects.scpr.org/officer-involved/stories/unarmed-and-dangerous/\">KPCC's reporting about those shootings\u003c/a> puts it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"[Michigan State University criminologist William Terrill] said he doesn't think missing hands alone are enough to justify self-defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>'If they were shooting all the suspects that reach or don't show their hands when the officer wants them to,' he said, 'I can't imagine the number of police shootings – if the public thinks there's a high number now – I can't imagine what there would be.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Commander Rod Kusch, whose homicide bureau investigates all deputy shootings, disagrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>'There is nothing that requires us to actually wait and see the gun or wait to see the knife,' he said. Deputies' 'background, training and experience' with armed suspects triggers a self-protection response when a suspect's hands disappear, he said.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>American police have considerable leeway in these situations because of two Supreme Court rulings in the late 1980s. In essence, the court held that officers may use deadly force if they have a reasonable belief that the suspect poses imminent danger of bodily harm to them or someone else. In addition, officers may not be judged based on information they didn't have at the moment they employed deadly force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, on Monday, the Supreme Court bolstered the protections for officers, when it ruled that an officer in Texas could not be sued for shooting into a fleeing car from a highway overpass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say these standards are only fair, and without them they would live in constant fear of being second-guessed after the fact. They say if they had to worry about being prosecuted for honest mistakes or for misreading a threat, they wouldn't be able to do their job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side, groups such as Black Lives Matter say this benefit of the doubt has gone too far. They say prosecutors are too deferential to police, and overly aggressive use of force routinely gets a pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Growing Efforts To Collect Statistics\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Missing from this debate are good numbers. The federal government has tried — and failed — to get police agencies to report details about the use of deadly force. FBI Director James Comey often complains about how little data Americans have to work with, when debating policing and race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some police organizations say it's a problem; they say the current national discussion relies too much on anecdotes and high-profile incidents caught on video, and they say better statistics would create a more sympathetic view of how police use force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government isn't about to require police agencies to start reporting these numbers, but it is experimenting with the next best thing. The Bureau of Justice Statistics has a pilot program to gather detailed information about \"arrest-related deaths\" in America — and they're going to use \"open-source data\" as a basis for their statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, they'll draw on information that media organizations such as KPCC are collecting on police shootings. Equipped with these numbers, the BJS will then ask police agencies directly for more information on the cases that have been identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 Southern California Public Radio.

These resource centers, often linked to religious organizations, provide low-cost or free services to pregnant women, while encouraging these women to not have abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new notice is mandated by the \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB775\">Reproductive FACT Act\u003c/a>, and would make it clear that abortion is legally available in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But several pregnancy centers are \u003ca href=\"http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/9776\">suing the state\u003c/a>, asking for the law to be struck down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the clinics engaged in the lawsuit is the \u003ca href=\"http://www.unplannedparenthood.net/\">East County Pregnancy Care Clinic\u003c/a> in El Cajon, Calif., just outside San Diego. The center \u003ca href=\"http://www.ecpcc.org/FlexPaper_1.4.0_flash/ltli.pdf\">describes itself\u003c/a> as \"a religious, nonprofit, pro-life, free medical clinic licensed by the State of California.\" It sits on the corner of a busy intersection, surrounded by strip malls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big sign out front says \"free pregnancy tests.\" That's one way they get women in the door, according to executive director Josh McClure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure is not a physician, though the clinic does have medical advisers who are doctors, he says. When we recently visited, he didn't permit NPR to talk to the staff at the clinic, who are all either registered nurses or volunteers. But he did offer to show us around, and walk us through the process of what happens to clients who come to the clinic thinking they may be pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of these women make appointments, he says, but the clinic also receives one or two walk-ins a day. The staff sees about 800 women a year, and that number is on the rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746419\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746419\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CrisisClinic-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"Roughly 800 women a year seek a free pregnancy test, counseling and other services at this center in El Cajon, Calif.

There the volunteer leads the client through a conversation about her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure says his volunteer will ask the client a series of questions to get at these issues: \"Why do they think they're pregnant? [Are] they living with somebody? Is it a husband, boyfriend? What are the circumstances going on in their life? And if the pregnancy does happen to be positive, what are they thinking about right then?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library has two shelves with books like \"What To Expect When You're Expecting,\" anatomy models that show the size of the fetus at four weeks gestation, eight weeks, and so on; and VHS tapes about abortion and abortion providers. McClure says the tapes are from the 1970s and are hardly ever used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a client speaks with the advocate and reviews the pamphlets, she is taken to an exam room to take a pregnancy test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"M4rOaJozAw7Lo3CWjUDiCwq31cHpMXLu\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exam room looks like any medical examining room, with clean linoleum floors, health pamphlets and a box of rubber gloves on the counter. In the center of the room is an exam table with a sheet of white tissue paper laid out over it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where a registered nurse would hand the patient a specimen cup to get a urine sample and do a pregnancy test, McClure says. It's the same test you might buy at a drugstore, he says, but here it's free, funded by donations. The RN signs off on the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the pregnancy test is positive, the nurse tells the client there are three options: parenting, adoption or abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to talk about the benefits, responsibilities and side effects of all three,\" McClure says. \"We would say, if it's an unplanned pregnancy, there really aren't any good solutions. They're all hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the discussion of parenting, the nurse talks about the responsibility of an 18-year commitment to another human life, and the resources in the client's life that may be helpful. The nurse asks whether the boyfriend or husband would be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In discussing adoption, the clinic goes over several different options: familial adoption to a family member, local or national adoptions and open or closed adoption. McClure says the clinic works with several adoption agencies and will refer clients to the one that best suits her preferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do let them know, that if there's drug abuse, the reality is if you're not going to straighten your life out by the time the baby is here, that [Child Protective Services] would be coming to take that child,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to abortion, the nurses do not tell clients where they can get an abortion or refer them to abortion providers, McClure told us. But they will talk about the clinic's view of the risks of an abortion and the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally,\" McClure says, \"the further along you go, the more expensive and more invasive and more risks there are. Risk of sterility is one. Perforated uterus is another. And then, of course, emotional side effects as well. All the information we're giving about the side effects is backed by research and referenced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure didn't mention during our tour that at least some claims in that pamphlet used to train the clinic's nurses and volunteers are disputed by leading research organizations. For example, the suggestion that there might be a link between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer has been studied and eventually dismissed by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/abortion-miscarriage-risk\">National Cancer Institute\u003c/a> and other medical groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clinic's pamphlet also states that abortion \"significantly increases the risk\" for conditions such as \"clinical depression and anxiety\" and \"suicidal thoughts and behavior.\" But an American Psychological Association task force on mental health and abortion had a different take in its recent review, recognizing that \"abortion encompasses a diversity of experiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the APA's \u003ca href=\"http://www.apa.org/pi/women/programs/abortion/\">task force report\u003c/a> in 2008, \"the best scientific evidence published indicates that, among adult women who have an unplanned pregnancy, the relative risk of mental health problems is no greater if they have a single, elective first-trimester abortion than if they deliver that pregnancy. The evidence regarding the relative mental health risks associated with multiple abortions is more equivocal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a pregnant woman at McClure's clinic has been briefed by the staff on how their organization views the risks of abortion, she is brought to a room where she can get an ultrasound scan, free of cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746427\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746427\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"In its "care closet," the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1440x1079.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-960x719.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In its 'care closet,' the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There, McClure tells us, the ultrasound image is enlarged and projected onto a big flat-screen TV.

If the law holds up, it could make way for measures like it in other cities and states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brad Dacus says that if the case has to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop the law, so be it. To him, the legal battle is all about upholding the right to religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people are not allowed to carry out their faith, and act and actually exercise their faith — not just have their private beliefs, but actually exercise their faith — then we really don't have religious freedom,\" Dacus says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits against the Reproductive FACT Act are now making their way through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristin Ford, representing the office of California Attorney General Kamala Harris, says, \"We will vigorously defend the state law in court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

When we recently visited, he didn't permit NPR to talk to the staff at the clinic, who are all either registered nurses or volunteers. But he did offer to show us around, and walk us through the process of what happens to clients who come to the clinic thinking they may be pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of these women make appointments, he says, but the clinic also receives one or two walk-ins a day.

The clinic encourages its clients to not get abortions, but a new law requires it to also prominently post information about where to find abortion services. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>First, clients fill out paperwork in the lobby, he explains, then are assigned to a volunteer that he describes as an \"advocate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These volunteer advocates, who are not medical professionals, take the client into a small room called the library. There the volunteer leads the client through a conversation about her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure says his volunteer will ask the client a series of questions to get at these issues: \"Why do they think they're pregnant? [Are] they living with somebody? Is it a husband, boyfriend? What are the circumstances going on in their life? And if the pregnancy does happen to be positive, what are they thinking about right then?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library has two shelves with books like \"What To Expect When You're Expecting,\" anatomy models that show the size of the fetus at four weeks gestation, eight weeks, and so on; and VHS tapes about abortion and abortion providers. McClure says the tapes are from the 1970s and are hardly ever used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a client speaks with the advocate and reviews the pamphlets, she is taken to an exam room to take a pregnancy test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exam room looks like any medical examining room, with clean linoleum floors, health pamphlets and a box of rubber gloves on the counter. In the center of the room is an exam table with a sheet of white tissue paper laid out over it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where a registered nurse would hand the patient a specimen cup to get a urine sample and do a pregnancy test, McClure says. It's the same test you might buy at a drugstore, he says, but here it's free, funded by donations. The RN signs off on the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the pregnancy test is positive, the nurse tells the client there are three options: parenting, adoption or abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to talk about the benefits, responsibilities and side effects of all three,\" McClure says. \"We would say, if it's an unplanned pregnancy, there really aren't any good solutions. They're all hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the discussion of parenting, the nurse talks about the responsibility of an 18-year commitment to another human life, and the resources in the client's life that may be helpful. The nurse asks whether the boyfriend or husband would be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In discussing adoption, the clinic goes over several different options: familial adoption to a family member, local or national adoptions and open or closed adoption. McClure says the clinic works with several adoption agencies and will refer clients to the one that best suits her preferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do let them know, that if there's drug abuse, the reality is if you're not going to straighten your life out by the time the baby is here, that [Child Protective Services] would be coming to take that child,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to abortion, the nurses do not tell clients where they can get an abortion or refer them to abortion providers, McClure told us. But they will talk about the clinic's view of the risks of an abortion and the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally,\" McClure says, \"the further along you go, the more expensive and more invasive and more risks there are. Risk of sterility is one. Perforated uterus is another. And then, of course, emotional side effects as well. All the information we're giving about the side effects is backed by research and referenced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure didn't mention during our tour that at least some claims in that pamphlet used to train the clinic's nurses and volunteers are disputed by leading research organizations. For example, the suggestion that there might be a link between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer has been studied and eventually dismissed by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/abortion-miscarriage-risk\">National Cancer Institute\u003c/a> and other medical groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clinic's pamphlet also states that abortion \"significantly increases the risk\" for conditions such as \"clinical depression and anxiety\" and \"suicidal thoughts and behavior.\" But an American Psychological Association task force on mental health and abortion had a different take in its recent review, recognizing that \"abortion encompasses a diversity of experiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the APA's \u003ca href=\"http://www.apa.org/pi/women/programs/abortion/\">task force report\u003c/a> in 2008, \"the best scientific evidence published indicates that, among adult women who have an unplanned pregnancy, the relative risk of mental health problems is no greater if they have a single, elective first-trimester abortion than if they deliver that pregnancy. The evidence regarding the relative mental health risks associated with multiple abortions is more equivocal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a pregnant woman at McClure's clinic has been briefed by the staff on how their organization views the risks of abortion, she is brought to a room where she can get an ultrasound scan, free of cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746427\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746427\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"In its "care closet," the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1440x1079.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-960x719.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In its 'care closet,' the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There, McClure tells us, the ultrasound image is enlarged and projected onto a big flat-screen TV.

If the law holds up, it could make way for measures like it in other cities and states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brad Dacus says that if the case has to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop the law, so be it.

He lost his left eye when he was 10 months old. And when he was 12, his family learned he would need another surgery to remove his right eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just the fear of knowing you have 80 more years ahead of you without sight ... that was scary to me,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before losing his sight, Olson had one wish: to watch as much USC football as possible.

He eventually earned a starting position as a long snapper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reid Budrovich, a backup punter for USC, played against Olson in high school. Budrovich says he never knew his opponent couldn't see; all he remembered was that the tall snapper had a perfect aim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's almost humbling just thinking about how much he's gone through to get where he is today,\" Budrovich says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Take Hits And Get Back Up'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before each play, a teammate leads Olson to the field.

It was amazing to see that smile on his face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olson says he has thought about whether he would be on the field today without the encouragement he received. He does know it's his turn to inspire others who have gone through adversity — especially kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That just because something happens, it doesn't mean it should stop you,\" Olson says. \"It's important to keep fighting and just take hits and get back up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just before he lost his sight, a 12-year-old Jake Olson stood on these sidelines.
