As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

He says his wife and three young sons began experiencing shortness of breath and headaches soon after a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/porter-ranch\">massive methane gas leak\u003c/a> began near their home in Porter Ranch, an affluent community in the San Fernando Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, when the news story first broke, we immediately went on high alert because the youngest of our boys wasn’t even a year old. He just turned 1 a couple weeks ago. And so you immediately think, ‘Am I putting my kids in any danger?’ ” says Padilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his wife decided not to take any chances. “It’s not the easiest thing to be out of your own home.

He says that although he’s frustrated by his personal situation, as a state official charged with ensuring transparency in voting and civic participation, he’s happy to see state lawmakers starting to take action to prevent something like this from happening at other gas storage facilities around the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some members of the Assembly are \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/03/lawmakers-propose-stripping-power-from-cpuc\">calling for the dismantling\u003c/a> of the California Public Utilities Commission because of the agency’s failure to respond quickly to the gas leak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think there needs to be a new day for the PUC. Have they done a good enough job of overseeing the utilities in different parts of California?” Padilla says, citing the 2010 \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/san-bruno\">explosion in San Bruno\u003c/a> near San Francisco and the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/san-onofre\">closure of the San Onofre nuclear power plant \u003c/a>north of San Diego because of its history of safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"QpMpEMljYzzgzPkpX8b4AQhUvb10ppMS\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big reminder that our oversight of utilities needs to be reformed, and we can’t ignore our aging infrastructure. A lot of times in the Capitol, investment in infrastructure is discussed. It’s usually highways and bridges, and that’s important, but we can’t forget the infrastructure that we don’t see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas leak may be sealed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/05/official-porter-ranch-gas-leak-might-be-sealed-as-early-as-next-week\">as early as next week\u003c/a>. But Padilla says he’s not going to move his family back until he’s totally reassured. “I’ll tell you as a father and as a husband, I appreciate when I hear from the gas company the gas leak has been fixed, but I’m going to want a third-party validator here. Whether it’s the air quality management district or a state agency to confirm that’s indeed the case,” says Padilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla says that even though his family spent Christmas day in the Burbank hotel, he’s grateful. “I remember huddling the kids and reminding them, ‘Look we’re together, we have our health, we have a roof over our head.’ There’s a lot of people in the world, there’s a lot of people in California that can’t say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, they can’t wait to return home. “Our youngest just celebrated one year, and seems like his first steps are going to be in a hotel room, not in our living room. Maybe that’s just the story he’ll have to tell the rest of his life.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He says his wife and three young sons began experiencing shortness of breath and headaches soon after a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/porter-ranch\">massive methane gas leak\u003c/a> began near their home in Porter Ranch, an affluent community in the San Fernando Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, when the news story first broke, we immediately went on high alert because the youngest of our boys wasn’t even a year old. He just turned 1 a couple weeks ago. And so you immediately think, ‘Am I putting my kids in any danger?’ ” says Padilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his wife decided not to take any chances. “It’s not the easiest thing to be out of your own home. But with my wife and our three boys feeling a lot better since we moved out, I know it was the right decision,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/245679543&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/245679543'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Explaining this to young children hasn’t been easy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He says that although he’s frustrated by his personal situation, as a state official charged with ensuring transparency in voting and civic participation, he’s happy to see state lawmakers starting to take action to prevent something like this from happening at other gas storage facilities around the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some members of the Assembly are \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/03/lawmakers-propose-stripping-power-from-cpuc\">calling for the dismantling\u003c/a> of the California Public Utilities Commission because of the agency’s failure to respond quickly to the gas leak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think there needs to be a new day for the PUC. Have they done a good enough job of overseeing the utilities in different parts of California?” Padilla says, citing the 2010 \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/san-bruno\">explosion in San Bruno\u003c/a> near San Francisco and the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/san-onofre\">closure of the San Onofre nuclear power plant \u003c/a>north of San Diego because of its history of safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big reminder that our oversight of utilities needs to be reformed, and we can’t ignore our aging infrastructure. A lot of times in the Capitol, investment in infrastructure is discussed. It’s usually highways and bridges, and that’s important, but we can’t forget the infrastructure that we don’t see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas leak may be sealed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/05/official-porter-ranch-gas-leak-might-be-sealed-as-early-as-next-week\">as early as next week\u003c/a>. But Padilla says he’s not going to move his family back until he’s totally reassured. “I’ll tell you as a father and as a husband, I appreciate when I hear from the gas company the gas leak has been fixed, but I’m going to want a third-party validator here. Whether it’s the air quality management district or a state agency to confirm that’s indeed the case,” says Padilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla says that even though his family spent Christmas day in the Burbank hotel, he’s grateful. “I remember huddling the kids and reminding them, ‘Look we’re together, we have our health, we have a roof over our head.’ There’s a lot of people in the world, there’s a lot of people in California that can’t say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, they can’t wait to return home. “Our youngest just celebrated one year, and seems like his first steps are going to be in a hotel room, not in our living room. Maybe that’s just the story he’ll have to tell the rest of his life.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It's a tale of two cities. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Super Bowl City, recently erected on San Francisco's waterfront, was built to entertain visitors from around the world as they flock to the Bay Area for football's biggest event.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another, much less glamorous community, is made of tents, tarps and even welcome mats and an American flag: the tent cities and homeless encampments lining many San Francisco thoroughfares. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the runup to the Super Bowl, there's been speculation that these homeless encampments would be forcibly cleared out. The question no one seems able to answer, however, is where would all the homeless people go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We followed along on a recent morning as a cleanup crew from San Francisco Public Works went to various homeless encampments to sweep up garbage and scrub sidewalks.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Darryl McMath is an environmental service worker with Public Works. Dressed in a light-blue Tyvek suit and wearing heavy protective gloves, he approached a homeless man camped on Shotwell Street.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My friend, are there any other things you would like to get rid of?” McMath asked gently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">McMath threw out a few cardboard boxes, but didn’t disturb the man’s tent or the belongings piled around it — including about two dozen bicycle wheels, a wooden pallet and clothing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every day, an average of a ton of trash, human waste and hypodermic needles is hauled off by McMath and other crews across the city. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Public Works spokeswoman Rachel Gordon said the crews don’t take personal property or force anyone to move. Instead, they clean around the tents, she said, and try to keep the sidewalks as clean and sanitary as possible.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But at a different encampment, under Highway 101 at San Bruno Avenue, David Tompkins said things are different when the media aren’t around. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They don’t ask you to move, they tell you to move,” Tompkins said, indicating the Public Works crew. “I woke up to these guys throwing my things in the garbage.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every homeless person seems to have a different story. Rebecca Padilla lives in a tent under the freeway on Division Street, where tents often line both sides of the street and fill the median strip. She said she’s been homeless for about a year, and is now worried that the Super Bowl means more trouble from the police. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We were told that we had to move from the area because of the Super Bowl,” Padilla said. “The mayor doesn’t want all this to be seen by the public eye.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mayor Ed Lee made headlines last August when he was widely quoted as saying that the city’s homeless “must leave the streets” before the Super Bowl. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sam Dodge, the mayor’s point man on homelessness, said the mayor’s remarks were blown out of proportion. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There's no formal city policy and no instructions given to cops to move people for the Super Bowl,” Dodge said. “The real things that we're concerned with right now are El Niño and people's health.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dodge said outreach workers have been trying to connect homeless people with alternatives, including services and shelter beds. The city operates about 1,200 shelter beds year-round and has been constructing temporary rain shelters for the winter months. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But many of the homeless people we spoke to complained that shelters are dirty, dangerous and, ultimately, only a short-term solution.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They just let you stay in their shelter for a week or two, and then they throw you back out on the street,” said Marin Santi. At 38, Santi says she’s been homeless since she was 11.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it’s like, why put yourself through that, get comfortable in a bed, just to go back out on the streets?\" she said. \"That’s just a torture of another torture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shortly before Christmas, Santi moved into the city’s new pilot project, the Navigation Center. Unlike other shelters, the Navigation Center is designed for long-term stays. Homeless people can move in as a group and bring their pets -- and they can stay as long as it takes to find permanent housing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dodge, whose title is director of the Mayor's Office of Housing Opportunity, Partnership & Engagement (HOPE), knows many of the clients at the Navigation Center. On a recent visit, he congratulated one man on finding housing and gave Santi a hug to welcome her. “Get warm and rest up,” he told Santi. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I’ve been in and out of group homes,” Santi said. “I never stayed long because I was always paranoid. I have bad paranoia schizophrenia.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Santi hopes the Navigation Center, which has 75 beds, will give her the safe haven she needs to get her life in order. Dodge says it takes an average of 70 days to place people with long-term housing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">About half of San Francisco's estimated 6,700 homeless people live on the streets -- an existence that makes it hard to avoid breaking the law. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, San Francisco police handed out about 2,300 citations a month — or 77 a day — for offenses such as sleeping in the park, blocking a sidewalk or drinking in public, according to city statistics. When the citations pile up, offenders can be taken to jail.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santi said she’d been jailed three times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They take my tent, they’ve put my dog in jail,” she said. “I have no clothes, no tent, they’ve taken everything I own.” Including, Santi said, her medications for HIV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dodge and others recognize the futility of arresting homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My police colleagues tell me all the time that they want more real solutions, that people need housing, they need a place to go,” Dodge said. But housing in the Bay Area is already in short supply and building affordable housing can take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Ending homelessness is a matter of both resources and political will and public support,” said Dodge.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The annual homeless count has stayed relatively stable in recent years and suggests only a small growth in actual numbers. Gordon, with the DPW, thinks that widespread development is pushing homeless people into more central areas. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Our crews certainly have seen that they’re more visible,” Gordon said. And that means more friction and more calls to the city’s 311 information and service request phone line.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s often a 311 call that Public Works crews are responding to on their morning routes. Until a long-term solution to homelessness is found, they’ll continue their daily visits to homeless encampments, morning after morning, from 4 a.m. until midday, sweeping, scrubbing and hauling away trash.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you could offer a way out, most people here would grab it with both hands,” said David Tompkins, who shelters in a tiny wooden box on wheels that he constructed himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, Tompkins takes a pretty cynical view of city leadership.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Who wants to tackle a problem in public office when there is no fix?” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The question no one seems able to answer, however, is where would all the homeless people go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We followed along on a recent morning as a cleanup crew from San Francisco Public Works went to various homeless encampments to sweep up garbage and scrub sidewalks.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Darryl McMath is an environmental service worker with Public Works. Dressed in a light-blue Tyvek suit and wearing heavy protective gloves, he approached a homeless man camped on Shotwell Street.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My friend, are there any other things you would like to get rid of?” McMath asked gently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">McMath threw out a few cardboard boxes, but didn’t disturb the man’s tent or the belongings piled around it — including about two dozen bicycle wheels, a wooden pallet and clothing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every day, an average of a ton of trash, human waste and hypodermic needles is hauled off by McMath and other crews across the city. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Public Works spokeswoman Rachel Gordon said the crews don’t take personal property or force anyone to move. Instead, they clean around the tents, she said, and try to keep the sidewalks as clean and sanitary as possible.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But at a different encampment, under Highway 101 at San Bruno Avenue, David Tompkins said things are different when the media aren’t around. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They don’t ask you to move, they tell you to move,” Tompkins said, indicating the Public Works crew. “I woke up to these guys throwing my things in the garbage.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every homeless person seems to have a different story. Rebecca Padilla lives in a tent under the freeway on Division Street, where tents often line both sides of the street and fill the median strip. She said she’s been homeless for about a year, and is now worried that the Super Bowl means more trouble from the police. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We were told that we had to move from the area because of the Super Bowl,” Padilla said. “The mayor doesn’t want all this to be seen by the public eye.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mayor Ed Lee made headlines last August when he was widely quoted as saying that the city’s homeless “must leave the streets” before the Super Bowl. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sam Dodge, the mayor’s point man on homelessness, said the mayor’s remarks were blown out of proportion. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There's no formal city policy and no instructions given to cops to move people for the Super Bowl,” Dodge said. “The real things that we're concerned with right now are El Niño and people's health.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dodge said outreach workers have been trying to connect homeless people with alternatives, including services and shelter beds. The city operates about 1,200 shelter beds year-round and has been constructing temporary rain shelters for the winter months. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But many of the homeless people we spoke to complained that shelters are dirty, dangerous and, ultimately, only a short-term solution.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They just let you stay in their shelter for a week or two, and then they throw you back out on the street,” said Marin Santi. At 38, Santi says she’s been homeless since she was 11.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it’s like, why put yourself through that, get comfortable in a bed, just to go back out on the streets?\" she said. \"That’s just a torture of another torture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shortly before Christmas, Santi moved into the city’s new pilot project, the Navigation Center. Unlike other shelters, the Navigation Center is designed for long-term stays. Homeless people can move in as a group and bring their pets -- and they can stay as long as it takes to find permanent housing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dodge, whose title is director of the Mayor's Office of Housing Opportunity, Partnership & Engagement (HOPE), knows many of the clients at the Navigation Center. On a recent visit, he congratulated one man on finding housing and gave Santi a hug to welcome her. “Get warm and rest up,” he told Santi. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I’ve been in and out of group homes,” Santi said. “I never stayed long because I was always paranoid. I have bad paranoia schizophrenia.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Santi hopes the Navigation Center, which has 75 beds, will give her the safe haven she needs to get her life in order. Dodge says it takes an average of 70 days to place people with long-term housing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">About half of San Francisco's estimated 6,700 homeless people live on the streets -- an existence that makes it hard to avoid breaking the law. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, San Francisco police handed out about 2,300 citations a month — or 77 a day — for offenses such as sleeping in the park, blocking a sidewalk or drinking in public, according to city statistics. When the citations pile up, offenders can be taken to jail.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santi said she’d been jailed three times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They take my tent, they’ve put my dog in jail,” she said. “I have no clothes, no tent, they’ve taken everything I own.” Including, Santi said, her medications for HIV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dodge and others recognize the futility of arresting homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My police colleagues tell me all the time that they want more real solutions, that people need housing, they need a place to go,” Dodge said. But housing in the Bay Area is already in short supply and building affordable housing can take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Ending homelessness is a matter of both resources and political will and public support,” said Dodge.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The annual homeless count has stayed relatively stable in recent years and suggests only a small growth in actual numbers. Gordon, with the DPW, thinks that widespread development is pushing homeless people into more central areas. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Our crews certainly have seen that they’re more visible,” Gordon said. And that means more friction and more calls to the city’s 311 information and service request phone line.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s often a 311 call that Public Works crews are responding to on their morning routes. Until a long-term solution to homelessness is found, they’ll continue their daily visits to homeless encampments, morning after morning, from 4 a.m. until midday, sweeping, scrubbing and hauling away trash.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you could offer a way out, most people here would grab it with both hands,” said David Tompkins, who shelters in a tiny wooden box on wheels that he constructed himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, Tompkins takes a pretty cynical view of city leadership.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And this was not just a friendly bunch of people promoting wine -- this was basically a \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Tangled-Vines-Obsession-Vineyards-California/dp/1250033225\">monopoly\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the earthquake destroyed storage and distribution centers in San Francisco, the growers built Winehaven in Richmond.

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
