His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is part I of The Bay’s three-part podcast series on policing in Vallejo. Here is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11768675/going-against-the-polices-narrative\">part II\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11769266/the-long-storied-history-of-police-community-tension-in-vallejo\">part III\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Willie McCoy became the latest name behind a police accountability movement in Vallejo, he was a rising young rapper who made music that was, in part, about what it meant to him to be a young black man in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on Feb. 9, six officers fired 55 bullets at McCoy in a Taco Bell parking lot. McCoy appeared to be asleep in his car. He died just before his 21st birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His death is one of about 21 fatal shootings by Vallejo police since 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a reminder of soon as you get close to cracking the stratosphere for a little bit of success, there’s somebody right there to put you back in your place — this is where you belong boy,” said David Harrison, McCoy’s older cousin. “We want to unify the people to say: no more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he was killed, McCoy wanted to make music about police brutality, being pulled over by the police, the violence he saw in his community, but also the joy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The music that he made was just all about the struggle, and trying to identify himself with everyone that walked in the same footsteps as him,” said Damariee Cole, McCoy’s nephew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody has a skill, and his skill was music,” Cole said. “He wanted everybody to understand his background and where he came from; his struggle, and letting everybody know that, you know, you can come out of poverty and be something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCoy grew up in Sacramento and Vallejo. He was in Sacramento until his father died of mesothelioma when he was about 11 years old. He moved to Vallejo to live with his mom. About two months later, she died of breast cancer, said Harrison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had a good culture to him you know,” Harrison said. “Willie was raised by the village by all of the family and the whole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCoy’s family has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit for wrongful death against the city of Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve also joined a chorus of families of people shot by police in Vallejo who show up at City Hall demanding police officers be held accountable by city leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no one watching the watcher,” Harrison said. “There’s no policing the police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Shooting\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Vallejo police received a call at approximately 10:36 p.m. on Feb. 9 from a Taco Bell employee. He was calling about a person in a vehicle unresponsive to car horn honks in the drive thru.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo Police responded to check on the welfare of the driver. When police arrived, they said the driver was unresponsive — with a gun on his lap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768040\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 329px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11768040\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-1020x1813.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"329\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-1020x1813.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-160x284.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-800x1422.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-675x1200.jpg 675w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Harrison (left) with his cousin Willie McCoy (right) \u003ccite>(Courtesy of David Harrison)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Police would later explain that officers didn’t try to wake McCoy up when they arrived on scene. They requested backup and came up with a plan: One officer would open the door, while another grabbed the handgun. But police said the doors were locked, and the car was in drive. While they worked to block his car with two patrol cars, McCoy started to wake up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The driver looked at the officers, and the officers began to yell commands to include ‘keep your hands up, show me your hands,’ ” said Sgt. Jeff Tai in \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEeNg9kOjV0\">a video press release after the shooting\u003c/a>. “The driver suddenly reached down for the firearm, and at this point, six officers fire their duty weapons at the officer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 11:00 p.m. the night of the shooting, Harrison got a call from one of his cousins. Willie had been shot in Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison and his dad picked up family members in Oakland and Berkeley and headed for the Taco Bell on Admiral Callaghan Lane. There, they saw McCoy’s silver Mercedes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison said it took a while to learn whether McCoy was in the car or not. Police weren’t giving them much information and McCoy had a tendency to let people borrow his car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was cold and drizzling. Harrison said about eight officers lined up in front of police tape, blocking access to the scene. Harrison and his family faced them. One of his cousins approached an officer who said he could only share one thing with the family: “We can’t tell you anything,” Harrison recalled the officer saying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Vallejo Police Department has, so far, declined requests for a sit-down interview. City officials have said it is difficult to answer case-specific questions, in part because of the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison doesn’t remember how long the family waited before confirming it was McCoy — it felt like an eternity. They sat there until they saw a tow truck come in to pull McCoy’s car away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we seen all the bullets it was confirmed,” Harrison said. “They said the police shot him. And when he said that I looked at my cousin I said ‘Cuz, they executed him.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison’s family began a desperate search for answers: Why was McCoy shot? What happened?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least two of the officers involved in McCoy’s death have been involved in police shootings before. Among them was Ryan McMahon, who shot and killed an unarmed black man who was stopped for riding his bike without a light in 2018. Mark Thompson was involved in a police shooting in 2012. The other four officers involved in McCoy’s shooting are Collin Eaton, Bryan Glick, Jordan Patzer and Anthony Romero-Cano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All officers have since been deemed able to return to their regular duties, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofvallejo.net/cms/One.aspx?portalId=13506&pageId=15286049&portletInstanceId=349184\">according to the police department\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Search for Answers\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since the shooting, David Harrison and McCoy’s family have been at city council meetings, rallies and anywhere else to tell McCoy’s story and to get information about his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two months after the shooting, VPD released all six angles of the shooting from each officer in \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=589&v=i5aa_7fDvnE\">a single video\u003c/a>. The clearest view of the inside of the car came from the camera of an officer standing directly in front of the driver’s side window. VPD slowed down that video to show the moment McCoy was purported to have reached for a gun. The video is not clear enough to make out a gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768017\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 986px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11768017\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_6343-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"986\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_6343-1.jpg 986w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_6343-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_6343-1-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 986px) 100vw, 986px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Harrison, Willie McCoy’s cousin, speaking at a Vallejo City Council meeting June 25, 2019. \u003ccite>(Ericka Cruz Guevarra/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Harrison doesn’t believe the police’s version of events. If police say they shot his cousin because he reached for a gun, he wants proof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police narrative was that Willie had a gun on his lap and they feared for their lives, and he reached for the gun and so they had to initially shoot him,” Harrison said. “But after seeing the video, hey look, there’s no gun. I don’t see him pointing a gun at nobody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 27, 2019, Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris filed \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6174135-MCCOY-COMPLAINT.html\">a federal civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> against the city of Vallejo, its city manager, police chief and six officers involved in McCoy’s death. Burris is seeking a federal court to monitor VPD compliance with civil rights law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Vallejo Police Department’s unconstitutional policing has become so dire and widespread that the City’s residents live in terror of the police department,” the lawsuit states. “Despite being on notice of their well-documented history of violence and terror, the City of Vallejo refuses to acknowledge or remedy their failure to supervise, discipline or retrain their officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Happened to the Music\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, when Damariee Cole is driving in his car, he puts on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt7doj95ElY\">a song with McCoy on the track\u003c/a> and cries. He doesn’t always tell other family members, but it hurts. Since McCoy’s death, members of his rap groups have struggled to stay motivated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Willie was a leader,” he said. “Sometimes we didn’t want to do projects or go to the studio or write rhymes. Willie was always writing when there was no beat. He would be right in his car and he would have a full song already written out with no beat. So, when you lose a leader with somebody that’s given us that extra motivation, you know, it’s hard to continue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also hard to be around everyone else in the group. It’s a reminder of who’s not there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Willie was there, we always was one,” he said. “Now it’s like when we get together, it just reminds us so much of Willie that all of us just doing our own thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison believed McCoy was going to take their family to new heights — he was on a better path in life, studying music at Laney College in Oakland. Just as soon as things were on the up and up, he was killed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Harrison pulls from the strength of his ancestors:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768043\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 357px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11768043\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9-1020x1210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9-160x190.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9-800x949.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9-1012x1200.jpg 1012w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Willie McCoy \u003ccite>(Courtesy of David Harrison)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Harrison and McCoy and their fathers are descendants of slavery and Jim Crow — Mississippi natives — who joined the migration to Oakland and the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Harrison, this shooting, the police’s narrative, the city’s response to him and his family, or lack thereof, is the same systemic racism his family escaped, manifesting itself in a different form. He has every intention of fighting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No Justice, No Peace\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Harrison wants to see officers prosecuted in Vallejo. He wants a clear message sent to other officers: that there are consequences for killing people. Nationwide, that’s rare. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/18/us/police-involved-shooting-cases/index.html\">Rarely do officers face legal consequences for killing people on the job\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, McCoy’s family has continued to show up in protest at Vallejo City Hall, demanding city leaders hold its police force accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been an uphill battle; Harrison hasn’t been satisfied with the response from city leaders, including the mayor. Harrison came to protest a Council meeting on June 25, in which councilmembers were scheduled to honor outgoing Vallejo Police Chief Andrew Bidou, who retired in the middle of growing protest against the department. Mayor Bob Sampayan \u003ca href=\"https://www.timesheraldonline.com/2019/03/13/vallejo-police-chief-andrew-bidou-announces-retirement/\">told the Vallejo Times-Herald\u003c/a> that his retirement had nothing to do with growing criticism of the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Me and my family have come to these meetings time and time again,” Harrison told councilmembers in June. “But, I don’t think that it’s really fair that some of these constituents that come here, and they get congratulated on this side; you’ll speak after that and say something.

McCoy appeared to be asleep in his car. He died just before his 21st birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His death is one of about 21 fatal shootings by Vallejo police since 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a reminder of soon as you get close to cracking the stratosphere for a little bit of success, there’s somebody right there to put you back in your place — this is where you belong boy,” said David Harrison, McCoy’s older cousin. “We want to unify the people to say: no more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was in Sacramento until his father died of mesothelioma when he was about 11 years old. He moved to Vallejo to live with his mom. About two months later, she died of breast cancer, said Harrison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had a good culture to him you know,” Harrison said. “Willie was raised by the village by all of the family and the whole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCoy’s family has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit for wrongful death against the city of Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve also joined a chorus of families of people shot by police in Vallejo who show up at City Hall demanding police officers be held accountable by city leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no one watching the watcher,” Harrison said. “There’s no policing the police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Shooting\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Vallejo police received a call at approximately 10:36 p.m. on Feb. 9 from a Taco Bell employee. He was calling about a person in a vehicle unresponsive to car horn honks in the drive thru.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo Police responded to check on the welfare of the driver. When police arrived, they said the driver was unresponsive — with a gun on his lap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768040\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 329px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11768040\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-1020x1813.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"329\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-1020x1813.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-160x284.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-800x1422.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7-675x1200.jpg 675w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-7.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Harrison (left) with his cousin Willie McCoy (right) \u003ccite>(Courtesy of David Harrison)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Police would later explain that officers didn’t try to wake McCoy up when they arrived on scene. They requested backup and came up with a plan: One officer would open the door, while another grabbed the handgun. But police said the doors were locked, and the car was in drive. While they worked to block his car with two patrol cars, McCoy started to wake up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The driver looked at the officers, and the officers began to yell commands to include ‘keep your hands up, show me your hands,’ ” said Sgt. Jeff Tai in \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEeNg9kOjV0\">a video press release after the shooting\u003c/a>. “The driver suddenly reached down for the firearm, and at this point, six officers fire their duty weapons at the officer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 11:00 p.m. the night of the shooting, Harrison got a call from one of his cousins. Willie had been shot in Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison and his dad picked up family members in Oakland and Berkeley and headed for the Taco Bell on Admiral Callaghan Lane. There, they saw McCoy’s silver Mercedes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison said it took a while to learn whether McCoy was in the car or not. Police weren’t giving them much information and McCoy had a tendency to let people borrow his car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was cold and drizzling. Harrison said about eight officers lined up in front of police tape, blocking access to the scene. Harrison and his family faced them. One of his cousins approached an officer who said he could only share one thing with the family: “We can’t tell you anything,” Harrison recalled the officer saying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Vallejo Police Department has, so far, declined requests for a sit-down interview. City officials have said it is difficult to answer case-specific questions, in part because of the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison doesn’t remember how long the family waited before confirming it was McCoy — it felt like an eternity. They sat there until they saw a tow truck come in to pull McCoy’s car away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we seen all the bullets it was confirmed,” Harrison said. “They said the police shot him. And when he said that I looked at my cousin I said ‘Cuz, they executed him.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison’s family began a desperate search for answers: Why was McCoy shot? What happened?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least two of the officers involved in McCoy’s death have been involved in police shootings before. Among them was Ryan McMahon, who shot and killed an unarmed black man who was stopped for riding his bike without a light in 2018. Mark Thompson was involved in a police shooting in 2012. The other four officers involved in McCoy’s shooting are Collin Eaton, Bryan Glick, Jordan Patzer and Anthony Romero-Cano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All officers have since been deemed able to return to their regular duties, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofvallejo.net/cms/One.aspx?portalId=13506&pageId=15286049&portletInstanceId=349184\">according to the police department\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Search for Answers\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since the shooting, David Harrison and McCoy’s family have been at city council meetings, rallies and anywhere else to tell McCoy’s story and to get information about his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two months after the shooting, VPD released all six angles of the shooting from each officer in \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=589&v=i5aa_7fDvnE\">a single video\u003c/a>. The clearest view of the inside of the car came from the camera of an officer standing directly in front of the driver’s side window. VPD slowed down that video to show the moment McCoy was purported to have reached for a gun. The video is not clear enough to make out a gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768017\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 986px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11768017\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_6343-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"986\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_6343-1.jpg 986w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_6343-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_6343-1-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 986px) 100vw, 986px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Harrison, Willie McCoy’s cousin, speaking at a Vallejo City Council meeting June 25, 2019. \u003ccite>(Ericka Cruz Guevarra/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Harrison doesn’t believe the police’s version of events. If police say they shot his cousin because he reached for a gun, he wants proof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police narrative was that Willie had a gun on his lap and they feared for their lives, and he reached for the gun and so they had to initially shoot him,” Harrison said. “But after seeing the video, hey look, there’s no gun. I don’t see him pointing a gun at nobody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 27, 2019, Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris filed \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6174135-MCCOY-COMPLAINT.html\">a federal civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> against the city of Vallejo, its city manager, police chief and six officers involved in McCoy’s death. Burris is seeking a federal court to monitor VPD compliance with civil rights law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Vallejo Police Department’s unconstitutional policing has become so dire and widespread that the City’s residents live in terror of the police department,” the lawsuit states. “Despite being on notice of their well-documented history of violence and terror, the City of Vallejo refuses to acknowledge or remedy their failure to supervise, discipline or retrain their officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Happened to the Music\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, when Damariee Cole is driving in his car, he puts on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt7doj95ElY\">a song with McCoy on the track\u003c/a> and cries. He doesn’t always tell other family members, but it hurts. Since McCoy’s death, members of his rap groups have struggled to stay motivated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Willie was a leader,” he said. “Sometimes we didn’t want to do projects or go to the studio or write rhymes. Willie was always writing when there was no beat. He would be right in his car and he would have a full song already written out with no beat. So, when you lose a leader with somebody that’s given us that extra motivation, you know, it’s hard to continue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also hard to be around everyone else in the group. It’s a reminder of who’s not there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Willie was there, we always was one,” he said. “Now it’s like when we get together, it just reminds us so much of Willie that all of us just doing our own thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison believed McCoy was going to take their family to new heights — he was on a better path in life, studying music at Laney College in Oakland. Just as soon as things were on the up and up, he was killed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Harrison pulls from the strength of his ancestors:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768043\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 357px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11768043\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9-1020x1210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9-160x190.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9-800x949.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9-1012x1200.jpg 1012w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Image-from-iOS-9.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Willie McCoy \u003ccite>(Courtesy of David Harrison)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Harrison and McCoy and their fathers are descendants of slavery and Jim Crow — Mississippi natives — who joined the migration to Oakland and the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Harrison, this shooting, the police’s narrative, the city’s response to him and his family, or lack thereof, is the same systemic racism his family escaped, manifesting itself in a different form. He has every intention of fighting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No Justice, No Peace\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Harrison wants to see officers prosecuted in Vallejo. He wants a clear message sent to other officers: that there are consequences for killing people. Nationwide, that’s rare. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/18/us/police-involved-shooting-cases/index.html\">Rarely do officers face legal consequences for killing people on the job\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, McCoy’s family has continued to show up in protest at Vallejo City Hall, demanding city leaders hold its police force accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been an uphill battle; Harrison hasn’t been satisfied with the response from city leaders, including the mayor. Harrison came to protest a Council meeting on June 25, in which councilmembers were scheduled to honor outgoing Vallejo Police Chief Andrew Bidou, who retired in the middle of growing protest against the department. Mayor Bob Sampayan \u003ca href=\"https://www.timesheraldonline.com/2019/03/13/vallejo-police-chief-andrew-bidou-announces-retirement/\">told the Vallejo Times-Herald\u003c/a> that his retirement had nothing to do with growing criticism of the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Me and my family have come to these meetings time and time again,” Harrison told councilmembers in June. “But, I don’t think that it’s really fair that some of these constituents that come here, and they get congratulated on this side; you’ll speak after that and say something. And I was just waiting for one of you guys to say, ‘Hey, I seen what happened and it was horrible.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo councilmembers have declined or not responded to interview requests. City Manager Greg Nyoff did not want to sit for an interview, but responded to a set of questions via email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can only begin to imagine how difficult it is to lose a family member in this way,” Nyoff wrote. “Unfortunately, the communications between family members and the City thus far have primarily been during public comment at council meetings, which is not the best venue for productive interactions on an emotionally laden topic such as this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768275\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11768275\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/IMG_9704-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oscar Grant’s Uncle Bobby speaking at a picnic in Oakland honoring Willie McCoy on Aug. 17, 2019. \u003ccite>(Ericka Cruz Guevarra/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nyoff invited the families to attend community forums he said the city is planning with the help of the federal Department of Justice’s Community Relations Division.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day our police officers head out to serve this community with the goal of doing the right thing, doing right by the public and ensuring our residents and our police officers end their day safely,” Nyoff wrote in an email. “Fatal interactions are a tragedy for all involved — though most clearly for the deceased and their loved ones.

They also did it to attract women, especially at the local taxi-dance halls, where men could hire women to dance with them. The dance halls gave immigrants an outlet to socialize with one another and spend some of their hard-earned money — typically 10 cents per dance — in hopes of finding some companionship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women were usually white, and given racist attitudes and miscegenation laws, that dynamic would eventually spark violence against the Filipino community by white men enraged over the \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=_yD8ND6gMUsC&pg=PA21#v=onepage&q&f=false\">influx of migrant laborers in the area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most notorious incident happened in Watsonville, an agricultural community in Northern California. In 1930, a mob of about 500 white men and youth opened fire at a dance hall popular with the local Filipino community where white women were being employed. Over five days, roaming mobs assaulted Filipinos with pistols, clubs and whips. They dragged Filipinos from their homes and beat them. Filipinos were thrown off bridges. One man, Fermin Tobera, 22, was shot to death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was out to run the Filipinos out of the country,\" one participant told the \u003cem>Oakland Tribune\u003c/em>. \"We're going to get rid of them, that's what.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Murder \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next year, a woman would again be at the center of violence involving Filipinos. This time, it involved my Lolo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this day, no one in my family can say for certain what drove my grandfather to murder. But according to an Associated Press report dated Sept. 23, 1931, it all had to do with \"an American girl.\" The headline of the story read, \"Oriental Killed, One Shot in Love Feud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to my dad, Lolo was in a restaurant bathroom when two men cornered him and slit his neck, leaving Lolo bleeding and facedown on a toilet. Someone found Lolo and was able to get help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad doesn't know what prompted the attack, but he remembers the scar that it left on the back of Lolo's neck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his recovery, Lolo went looking for his attackers, and one day, while cruising the streets of a busy downtown corridor, Lolo spotted two men leaving a theater. He told a friend to get the car ready. Lolo had a gun and was set on revenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting took place close to a popular dance hall where Filipinos hung out, near city hall. His victims were John Lopez, shot in the leg, and Joseph Retotar, a Filipino, who died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Records for the two men are hard to come by. Based on what I could find, Retotar was about the same age as Lolo. And that love feud? While the article suggests it was over an American, no one in the family can say for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years I agonized. If only I had her name or the details of the others involved, then just maybe I could figure out what really happened. It had to be in the case file. I went to the Los Angeles County Hall of Records to look for it, but when the archivist took the decades-old microfilm out of its box, it fell apart.

It appears to read, \"repat Paroled 5/5/39.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Repat\" is a likely reference to the government's efforts to repatriate Filipinos under a 1935 law signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to anger among white workers about Filipino men taking U.S. jobs. The measure came a year after the Tydings-McDuffie Act — a law that set the Philippines on the path to independence but that also reclassified Filipinos already in the U.S. as \"aliens.\" Taken together, the two laws were blamed for separating Filipino families, given that Tydings-McDuffie capped Filipino immigration at 50 people per year, making it near impossible for anyone who was repatriated to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lolo was heading back to the Philippines in 1939, World War II was raging in Europe. In the Pacific, Japanese forces had taken over several Chinese cities. The U.S. was on guard — its interests in the Philippines could be next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lolo's niece, my Tita Letty Francisco, remembers that the war may be the reason for Lolo's parole. Back then, it was common for prisoners to be recruited to fight the Japanese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1941, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Within hours, it invaded the Philippines. Lolo became a second lieutenant in the guerrilla army fighting the Japanese alongside U.S. forces. He even got a new nickname.

So they keep hitting her,\" Dad said, his tone solemn like I imagine Lolo's must have been when recounting the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that, Lolo asked his boss to transfer him to another assignment. He couldn't take it anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I think back on this story, it makes me angry. How could he have killed someone so brutally? Even if it was in the service of his country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad takes me back to reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is war,\" he said. \"What did you expect?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Enforcer \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was about five years after our car ride that Dad and I went to where the murder took place in downtown LA. The street corner looks like a restored loft with some shops. It's loud, bustling. Traffic and construction noise fills the air. In one direction, I see homeless men. In another, a man on a dockless scooter riding by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's here, almost a century ago, that Lolo's life in America took a turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad's silent, taking it all in. My thoughts are elsewhere, and I wonder how Lolo's environment shaped his actions. Did life in America encourage the worst in him? Turn him more angry? More violent? What if he had never come to the U.S.? Would he have avoided all the bloodshed? Or was it all inevitable?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think about another influence in Lolo's life, Ted Lewin. He was an American who built one of the biggest gaming operations in Manila. In a 1959 profile, \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,865128,00.html\">\u003cem>Time\u003c/em> magazine described\u003c/a> Lewin, saying he had \"a taste for dark shirts, penthouses, air-conditioned Cadillacs and shadowy wheelings and dealings. In and out of Manila, in the past two decades, he has turned many a fast peso.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"filipino-americans\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lolo worked for Lewin as an enforcer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they see something or they found out something in the casino that you are cheating, they would beat the hell out of them,\" said Dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad said Lolo would tell him stories about taking a hammer and smashing each finger of a cheater's hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lolo became a top boss for Lewin. He was feared and respected. When Lewin was forced out of the trade by the Philippine government, Lolo took his experience and used it to establish his own businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had a fleet of taxis and operated distilleries. Ever the hustler, he at one point took a job at customs, where he accepted bribes for letting folks smuggle goods into the islands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This allowed him to give his kids the opportunity to attend college in the Philippines, drive nice cars and establish political and business connections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad used that to build his own business selling electronics in the Philippines. It did well at first but then fell into bankruptcy. He looked at America and saw a second chance. And thanks in part to Lolo's war service, Dad was eventually able to gain citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's retired now, after 40 years in manufacturing. He and my mom worked all the time, and because of that, my family enjoyed full bellies and college educations. The quintessential American Dream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>My family, my country \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Dad why his life in America was so different from Lolo's. He said it's because each generation will be better off than the one before it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Remember during [his] time, they are all illiterate. They didn't go to high school,\" Dad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You go to another country, especially an industrialized country like America, most of them turned out to be drivers, busboys or work as a maid because they don't have schooling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad never went back to the Philippines, even for Lolo's funeral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even when I die, I already bought our family plot, because most people when they die, they go home, but this is my home, so I will just stay here,\" Dad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My parents are already dead. My only brother is dead.

This time, it involved my Lolo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this day, no one in my family can say for certain what drove my grandfather to murder. But according to an Associated Press report dated Sept. 23, 1931, it all had to do with \"an American girl.\" The headline of the story read, \"Oriental Killed, One Shot in Love Feud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to my dad, Lolo was in a restaurant bathroom when two men cornered him and slit his neck, leaving Lolo bleeding and facedown on a toilet. Someone found Lolo and was able to get help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad doesn't know what prompted the attack, but he remembers the scar that it left on the back of Lolo's neck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his recovery, Lolo went looking for his attackers, and one day, while cruising the streets of a busy downtown corridor, Lolo spotted two men leaving a theater. He told a friend to get the car ready. Lolo had a gun and was set on revenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting took place close to a popular dance hall where Filipinos hung out, near city hall. His victims were John Lopez, shot in the leg, and Joseph Retotar, a Filipino, who died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Records for the two men are hard to come by. Based on what I could find, Retotar was about the same age as Lolo. And that love feud? While the article suggests it was over an American, no one in the family can say for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years I agonized. If only I had her name or the details of the others involved, then just maybe I could figure out what really happened. It had to be in the case file. I went to the Los Angeles County Hall of Records to look for it, but when the archivist took the decades-old microfilm out of its box, it fell apart. This mystery woman was now a ghost on decrepit microfilm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768307\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/npr_kat_kaye_mg_0455_custom-84a3de002f71d533d87bdc201dafbf8875775473-s800-c85.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11768307\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/npr_kat_kaye_mg_0455_custom-84a3de002f71d533d87bdc201dafbf8875775473-s800-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/npr_kat_kaye_mg_0455_custom-84a3de002f71d533d87bdc201dafbf8875775473-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/npr_kat_kaye_mg_0455_custom-84a3de002f71d533d87bdc201dafbf8875775473-s800-c85-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guerra and wife's house in the suburban community of Moreno Valley.

He was sentenced to five years to life at San Quentin State Prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was out in seven years. Dad said Lolo talked about marking his cell with chalk every year he spent there. When he was released, he took his hand, swiped the chalk marks off the wall and cried aloud, \"Goodbye!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear why Lolo was released from prison so early, but a handwritten note in his prison records offers a clue. It appears to read, \"repat Paroled 5/5/39.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Repat\" is a likely reference to the government's efforts to repatriate Filipinos under a 1935 law signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to anger among white workers about Filipino men taking U.S. jobs. The measure came a year after the Tydings-McDuffie Act — a law that set the Philippines on the path to independence but that also reclassified Filipinos already in the U.S. as \"aliens.\" Taken together, the two laws were blamed for separating Filipino families, given that Tydings-McDuffie capped Filipino immigration at 50 people per year, making it near impossible for anyone who was repatriated to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lolo was heading back to the Philippines in 1939, World War II was raging in Europe. In the Pacific, Japanese forces had taken over several Chinese cities. The U.S. was on guard — its interests in the Philippines could be next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lolo's niece, my Tita Letty Francisco, remembers that the war may be the reason for Lolo's parole. Back then, it was common for prisoners to be recruited to fight the Japanese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1941, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Within hours, it invaded the Philippines. Lolo became a second lieutenant in the guerrilla army fighting the Japanese alongside U.S. forces. He even got a new nickname.

She said he could be loving toward his family, but when it came to war, Lolo showed no remorse for killing the Japanese. She remembers Lolo's fury after the Japanese bombed the home he shared with the woman he ended up marrying in the Philippines, Lola Isabel. He'd even brag about how many lives he took, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to Dad, there was at least one death that troubled Lolo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the time he was tasked with killing a Filipina who had been accused of working as an informant for the Japanese. She was labeled a \"Makapili,\" the name Filipinos gave those who aided the Japanese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the war, the Japanese would take informants, place bags over their heads, cut two holes for their eyes and ask them to identify Filipinos. Once identified, the Japanese would shoot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lolo's secret mission to kill this woman meant he couldn't use a gun, because it would make noise, so he and others used a piece of wood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"' They keep hitting her and hitting her, and she won't die,'\" Dad remembered Lolo telling him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what they did, they just digged a hole. But when they put her there, she's still alive. So they keep hitting her,\" Dad said, his tone solemn like I imagine Lolo's must have been when recounting the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that, Lolo asked his boss to transfer him to another assignment. He couldn't take it anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I think back on this story, it makes me angry. How could he have killed someone so brutally? Even if it was in the service of his country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad takes me back to reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is war,\" he said. \"What did you expect?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Enforcer \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was about five years after our car ride that Dad and I went to where the murder took place in downtown LA. The street corner looks like a restored loft with some shops. It's loud, bustling. Traffic and construction noise fills the air. In one direction, I see homeless men. In another, a man on a dockless scooter riding by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's here, almost a century ago, that Lolo's life in America took a turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dad's silent, taking it all in. My thoughts are elsewhere, and I wonder how Lolo's environment shaped his actions. Did life in America encourage the worst in him? Turn him more angry? More violent? What if he had never come to the U.S.? Would he have avoided all the bloodshed? Or was it all inevitable?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think about another influence in Lolo's life, Ted Lewin. He was an American who built one of the biggest gaming operations in Manila.

"content": "\u003cp>The co-founder of a Silicon Valley venture capital firm sexually harassed and assaulted a female employee, giving her unwanted massages and engaging in other groping, secretly taking photos of her and sharing them with other men, the state’s fair employment agency alleged in court documents filed Friday in San Francisco federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee William McNutt of Dallas, Texas, made regular, unwelcome sexual advances and solicitations of the employee from about July 2017 through March 2018, the state Department of Fair Employment and Housing said in a \u003ca href=\"https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A557bca57-85f1-4bb9-9753-fb98cc6cbcd3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The employee, identified in the suit only as Jane Doe, worked for Silicon Valley Growth Syndicate, a firm McNutt co-founded in 2012 that was then based in Menlo Park, the complaint says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through a spokesman, McNutt denied all of the allegations in the complaint. Lawyers for his business partners, who were named as co-defendants for allegedly failing to prevent the harassment, did not respond immediately to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit says Doe attended McNutt’s alma mater — Southern Methodist University in Dallas — from 2013 to 2017. She worked as a babysitter for several families in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court filings say Doe was 21 and McNutt was in his 60s when he approached her at children’s soccer games, offering her work including modeling and dog sitting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McNutt gave Doe an internship at the Syndicate. She began working there in January 2017 and began full-time employment in June. Around September of that year, she was promoted to vice president, operations and communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state agency’s suit details several episodes of alleged sexual harassment, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>In August 2017, McNutt gave Doe an iPad to use for work. On it, she later found several close-up photos showing her in a bathing suit — images the complaint says were taken without her consent during a work trip to Florida. The suit says that during her employment, several photos of other young women — either in underwear or naked and taken from angles that suggested the images weren’t taken with permission — appeared on an iCloud stream on the device.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In an undated screenshot of a text message exchange, McNutt forwarded a video and photo of Doe in a bikini to another man, who responded, “She is hot. Need to work it with her. Is it OK if I fly her back out here for Labor Day weekend?” McNutt replied: “Yes … offer to fly her out to CA.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>During a late August 2017 work trip to La Jolla, McNutt took Doe to a nude beach without first telling her where they were going. He removed his bathing suit and walked within her field of vision. He also took her back to the Airbnb where they were staying, asked her to change into shorts and then to lie down so he could give her a massage. He placed his hands under her shorts and massaged her bottom, placing his fingers close to her genitals. When he said it was his turn for a massage, she went to her room, locked the door and pushed a night table in front of it.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Doe took steps to protect herself after the La Jolla trip, the suit says, and in January 2018 refused to travel with McNutt to Florida when he said she could stay with him in a one-bedroom condo or not come at all. She later sought legal help, and in June 2018, McNutt told her that her contract would not be renewed, according to the complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fair employment agency first filed the suit in San Francisco Superior Court in late June 2019. McNutt and his two co-defendants moved last month to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for Northern California.

Lawyers for his business partners, who were named as co-defendants for allegedly failing to prevent the harassment, did not respond immediately to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit says Doe attended McNutt’s alma mater — Southern Methodist University in Dallas — from 2013 to 2017. She worked as a babysitter for several families in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court filings say Doe was 21 and McNutt was in his 60s when he approached her at children’s soccer games, offering her work including modeling and dog sitting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McNutt gave Doe an internship at the Syndicate. She began working there in January 2017 and began full-time employment in June. Around September of that year, she was promoted to vice president, operations and communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state agency’s suit details several episodes of alleged sexual harassment, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>In August 2017, McNutt gave Doe an iPad to use for work. On it, she later found several close-up photos showing her in a bathing suit — images the complaint says were taken without her consent during a work trip to Florida. The suit says that during her employment, several photos of other young women — either in underwear or naked and taken from angles that suggested the images weren’t taken with permission — appeared on an iCloud stream on the device.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In an undated screenshot of a text message exchange, McNutt forwarded a video and photo of Doe in a bikini to another man, who responded, “She is hot. Need to work it with her. Is it OK if I fly her back out here for Labor Day weekend?” McNutt replied: “Yes … offer to fly her out to CA.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>During a late August 2017 work trip to La Jolla, McNutt took Doe to a nude beach without first telling her where they were going. He removed his bathing suit and walked within her field of vision. He also took her back to the Airbnb where they were staying, asked her to change into shorts and then to lie down so he could give her a massage. He placed his hands under her shorts and massaged her bottom, placing his fingers close to her genitals. When he said it was his turn for a massage, she went to her room, locked the door and pushed a night table in front of it.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Doe took steps to protect herself after the La Jolla trip, the suit says, and in January 2018 refused to travel with McNutt to Florida when he said she could stay with him in a one-bedroom condo or not come at all. She later sought legal help, and in June 2018, McNutt told her that her contract would not be renewed, according to the complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fair employment agency first filed the suit in San Francisco Superior Court in late June 2019. McNutt and his two co-defendants moved last month to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for Northern California. The state agency filed an amended complaint with the federal court on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for McNutt said the allegations were “baseless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The case is now properly being overseen by a federal judge, who we believe will correctly determine that the agency’s case has no valid basis for moving forward,” David Oates said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oates also described McNutt as a “dedicated family man who, through his charitable actions, is a strong supporter of veterans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McNutt is a co-founder and chairman of the nonprofit group State Funeral for World War II Veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite the negative impact on his family and friends, Mr. McNutt will vigorously work to have this case dismissed or resolved per the available civil law process,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., says she’s canceling her visit to Israel and the West Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel’s interior ministry announced Friday that it would allow Tlaib to enter the country as a private citizen to visit her aging grandmother, after it banned her and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from going on a political trip amid pressure from President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Friday morning, Tlaib said that she “decided to not travel to Palestine and Israel at this time. Visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions meant to humiliate me would break my grandmother’s heart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel’s shift regarding Tlaib, whose parents are Palestinian immigrants to the U.S. and who has close relatives in the West Bank, came hours after Israel banned her and fellow Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., apparently in response to pressure from Trump, who tweeted that the two hated “Israel & all Jewish people” and that Israel “would show great weakness” by letting them visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, however, Israel’s interior ministry said Minister Aryeh Deri had decided to allow Tlaib to conduct a “humanitarian visit” to her 90-year-old grandmother. According to the statement, Tlaib sent a letter to Deri accepting conditions and limits on her visit and promising not to advance boycotts against Israel while she is there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was no word on whether Israel had changed its position on Omar, a Somali-born American.

Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., saying it would be showing “weakness” if they were allowed to visit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit. They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds.

They are a disgrace!” Trump tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1162000480681287683\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Bay Area lawmakers were swift to condemn the bans and Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/81519/\">statement \u003c/a>she was “deeply saddened by the news” and “prays that the Government of Israel will reverse” its denial. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Israel’s denial of entry to Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar is a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel,” Pelosi wrote. “The President’s statements about the Congresswomen are a sign of ignorance and disrespect, and beneath the dignity of the Office of the President.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1162053316123275266\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Bay Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Fremont, said in a statement that “censoring disagreement to the point of barring visits by members of the United States Congress prevents lawmakers from conducting their oversight duties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are US tax dollars at work — Congress has a right to see where they are going,” Khanna wrote. “I urge the Israeli government to reconsider this decision in the name of democracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepRoKhanna/status/1162066837347192833\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley Democratic Rep.

Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., says she’s canceling her visit to Israel and the West Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel’s interior ministry announced Friday that it would allow Tlaib to enter the country as a private citizen to visit her aging grandmother, after it banned her and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from going on a political trip amid pressure from President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Friday morning, Tlaib said that she “decided to not travel to Palestine and Israel at this time. Visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions meant to humiliate me would break my grandmother’s heart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel’s shift regarding Tlaib, whose parents are Palestinian immigrants to the U.S. and who has close relatives in the West Bank, came hours after Israel banned her and fellow Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., apparently in response to pressure from Trump, who tweeted that the two hated “Israel & all Jewish people” and that Israel “would show great weakness” by letting them visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, however, Israel’s interior ministry said Minister Aryeh Deri had decided to allow Tlaib to conduct a “humanitarian visit” to her 90-year-old grandmother. According to the statement, Tlaib sent a letter to Deri accepting conditions and limits on her visit and promising not to advance boycotts against Israel while she is there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was no word on whether Israel had changed its position on Omar, a Somali-born American. She had been scheduled to arrive on Saturday in Israel, where she and Tlaib planned to tour the West Bank and visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post Aug. 15, 2019\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has banned two Democratic U.S. congresswomen from visiting the country and the Palestinian territories this weekend, according to a government official. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/deputy-fm-confirms-israel-will-bar-us-lawmakers-omar-tlaib-from-entering/\">Israeli radio reported\u003c/a> that in an interview, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said the country would bar entry to “those who reject our right to exist in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/netanyahu-considers-blocking-omar-tlaib-from-entering-israel-ahead-of-a-planned-weekend-visit/2019/08/15/d69983ce-d15b-4074-8590-c6f69bd4a084_story.html\">marks a reversal\u003c/a> for Netanyahu and his government, comes after President Trump publicly urged the Israeli leader on Twitter to block Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., saying it would be showing “weakness” if they were allowed to visit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit. They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!” Trump tweeted.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
