"content": "\u003cp>California Attorney General Kamala Harris continues to hold a big lead in the state’s open U.S. Senate race over congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">More than half of registered voters, 51 percent, say they would vote for Harris in a new poll commissioned by the California Counts public media collaboration. Just 19 percent favor Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“There’s no split where Sanchez is leading,” says Kim Nalder, the political director for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.csus.edu/isr/calspeaks/methods%20and%20technical%20details.html\" target=\"_blank\">CALSPEAKS Opinion Research Center\u003c/a> at Sacramento State, which conducted the poll. “She gets 29 percent from 29- to 34-year-olds. That’s one of her high numbers, whereas Harris is getting a majority in a lot of the subcategories.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[SenatePoll]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans were the most likely to not have their minds made up in the race. Thirty-six percent of GOP voters were undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Harris and Sanchez are Democrats. This is the first time two members of the same party have faced each other in a statewide runoff since California adopted the top-two primary. They are running to replace another Democrat, retiring U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll also asked registered voters' opinions of Proposition 64 -- the November ballot initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana. It found 71 percent in favor of legalization, with 26 percent opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg title=\"Cal Counts Poll -Social -02\" src=\"http://www.capradio.org/media/7424839/calcountspoll-social-02.png\" alt=\"Cal Counts Poll -Social -02\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But support for marijuana legalization could decrease somewhat as initiative campaigns begin in earnest. Nalder says a majority of Californians initially supported legalization in 2010, but voters turned against details in Proposition 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People thought it wasn’t prudent in a lot of ways. And so even though there were a number of voters who were generically in favor of legalizing marijuana, they voted against it,” says Nalder. “I suspect [this year] most voters haven’t gotten out their ballot guide yet and done their homework, and so it could change if they don’t like some of the details in this one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Prop64Poll]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View California Counts Survey_Part 1 on Scribd\" href=\"https://www.scribd.com/document/323194462/California-Counts-Survey-Part-1#from_embed\">California Counts Survey_Part 1\u003c/a> by \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Southern California Public Radio's profile on Scribd\" href=\"https://www.scribd.com/publisher/71308244/Southern-California-Public-Radio#from_embed\">Southern California Public Radio\u003c/a> on Scribd\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe id=\"doc_44862\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/323194462/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-i3GoaTS8tY8PQC0xszmI&show_recommendations=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.7729220222793488\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Correction\u003c/strong>: Our original story stated that the poll sought to capture the sentiments of all Californians rather than likely or registered voters.

While most of the poll's questions were asked of a representative sample of Californians, the poll's author later informed us that only the responses of registered voters were used for questions about the November election, including the U.S. Senate race and Proposition 64.

It yielded 915 completed surveys and 44 partially completed surveys. CALSPEAKS obtains a representative sample of Californians, stratified by the five major regions in the state. For information on the methodology, please visit: \u003ca href=\"http://www.csus.edu/isr/calspeaks/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.csus.edu/isr/calspeaks/\u003c/a>.

However, the margins of error are larger if focusing on smaller subgroups, especially racial or ethnic subgroups. These are equal or less than +/- 16 percentage points for African-Americans, and 10 percentage points for Latinos or those of \"other races/ethnicities\" (including Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and those of mixed race/ethnicity). The numbers, however, have been weighted to reflect California¹s population and are valid for comparisons across the sub-groups.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts is a collaboration with four public media organizations in California to cover the 2016 election.

However, the margins of error are larger if focusing on smaller subgroups, especially racial or ethnic subgroups. These are equal or less than +/- 16 percentage points for African-Americans, and 10 percentage points for Latinos or those of \"other races/ethnicities\" (including Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and those of mixed race/ethnicity).

I don't get to hug him or kiss him or touch him, so that's hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She disputes CDCR's characterization that the small population still serving indefinite SHU terms are repeat problem offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He wrote a letter against the excessive lockdowns,\" she said, \"and then he was validated on confidential informants,\" meaning he was identified as a gang member, but never learned who identified him.

Even if they were, that’s still not a violent crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDCR representatives interviewed for this report declined to discuss the use of confidential information to land inmates in the SHU because that part of the lawsuit is still being litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One key problem historically has been that they put people in the SHU not based on strong evidence that they do anything, but based on confidential information,\" said plaintiff's attorney Jules Lobel. \"'We have a confidential informant who says this about you,' and they start putting a lot of people back in the SHU for that reason.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maria Rodriguez didn't like the six months her son spent in the highly restrictive custody back in 2013.

"content": "\u003cp>She is known by the pseudonym of \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/article/read-stories-civil-asset-forfeiture-victims\">Elizabeth James\u003c/a> -- a retiree from the phone company who was contemplating a cross-country trip with her machinist husband. They had worked for decades raising two children and caring for her disabled sister, who lived in a home the couple had bought and remodeled in East Palo Alto. Then police raided the sister’s home and arrested the Jameses' son, who had been living in a back room, for drug-dealing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Elizabeth James was never charged with a crime -- she insisted she didn’t know what her son was doing -- city police worked with federal authorities who evicted her sister and seized the house under a process known as civil asset forfeiture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 220 California law enforcement agencies have partnered with federal prosecutors to instigate civil asset forfeiture, allowing them to seize and liquidate the assets of people who weren’t convicted or even charged with crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal: to deny drug dealers working capital and divert the value of their assets to crime-fighting efforts. But critics have condemned it as “policing for profit,” arguing that it strips citizens of their goods \u003ca href=\"https://www.drugpolicy.org/sites/default/files/Drug_Policy_Alliance_Above_the_Law_Civil_Asset_Forfeiture_in_California.pdf\">without due process\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After overcoming objections from some in law enforcement, a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB443\">bill\u003c/a> to curtail the practice cleared the Legislature by a wide margin and is awaiting Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SB 443 isn’t the platinum reform standard for civil asset forfeiture, but it’s still a very good bill,” said Lee McGrath, legislative counsel for the \u003ca href=\"http://ij.org/\">Institute for Justice\u003c/a>. “More to the point, this is a California bill. When California does something, everybody in the nation pays attention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law already prevents civil asset forfeiture in most state cases -- an exception being large bundles of cash -- unless the owner is convicted. But it allows state and local police to collaborate on drug cases with the federal government, which not only doesn’t require convictions for civil asset forfeiture, but rewards cooperating agencies with up to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ij.org/images/legislation/california/factsaboutequitablesharing.pdf\">80 percent\u003c/a> of the assets’ worth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result has been a big surge in the federal variety. A state Senate \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB443\">bill analysis\u003c/a> indicates that the amount California agencies collected under the federal program in 2014 was \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/afp/reports-congress/fy2014-california\">$77 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[SeizedProperty]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s biggest impact: It would ban local and state police from reaping the gains of federal civil asset forfeiture unless the owner of the assets is convicted of a crime. It also would bolster existing protections under state law by raising the threshold for the forfeiture of cash absent a conviction from $25,000 to $40,000, and requiring a conviction before the government can claim property such as boats and cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if SB 443 becomes law, it will be too late for Elizabeth James. Her lawyer recommended a deal: Their son pleaded guilty and the government would drop all claims to the house -- although it would not reimburse the couple for legal fees or home damage from the raid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her case illustrates “why I think civil asset forfeiture is tantamount to theft,” said her attorney, James Cooper.

They had worked for decades raising two children and caring for her disabled sister, who lived in a home the couple had bought and remodeled in East Palo Alto. Then police raided the sister’s home and arrested the Jameses' son, who had been living in a back room, for drug-dealing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Elizabeth James was never charged with a crime -- she insisted she didn’t know what her son was doing -- city police worked with federal authorities who evicted her sister and seized the house under a process known as civil asset forfeiture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 220 California law enforcement agencies have partnered with federal prosecutors to instigate civil asset forfeiture, allowing them to seize and liquidate the assets of people who weren’t convicted or even charged with crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal: to deny drug dealers working capital and divert the value of their assets to crime-fighting efforts. But critics have condemned it as “policing for profit,” arguing that it strips citizens of their goods \u003ca href=\"https://www.drugpolicy.org/sites/default/files/Drug_Policy_Alliance_Above_the_Law_Civil_Asset_Forfeiture_in_California.pdf\">without due process\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After overcoming objections from some in law enforcement, a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB443\">bill\u003c/a> to curtail the practice cleared the Legislature by a wide margin and is awaiting Gov.

When California does something, everybody in the nation pays attention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law already prevents civil asset forfeiture in most state cases -- an exception being large bundles of cash -- unless the owner is convicted. But it allows state and local police to collaborate on drug cases with the federal government, which not only doesn’t require convictions for civil asset forfeiture, but rewards cooperating agencies with up to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ij.org/images/legislation/california/factsaboutequitablesharing.pdf\">80 percent\u003c/a> of the assets’ worth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result has been a big surge in the federal variety. A state Senate \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB443\">bill analysis\u003c/a> indicates that the amount California agencies collected under the federal program in 2014 was \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/afp/reports-congress/fy2014-california\">$77 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[SeizedProperty]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s biggest impact: It would ban local and state police from reaping the gains of federal civil asset forfeiture unless the owner of the assets is convicted of a crime. It also would bolster existing protections under state law by raising the threshold for the forfeiture of cash absent a conviction from $25,000 to $40,000, and requiring a conviction before the government can claim property such as boats and cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if SB 443 becomes law, it will be too late for Elizabeth James. Her lawyer recommended a deal: Their son pleaded guilty and the government would drop all claims to the house -- although it would not reimburse the couple for legal fees or home damage from the raid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her case illustrates “why I think civil asset forfeiture is tantamount to theft,” said her attorney, James Cooper. He maintained James’ son was a “low-level dealer” and that “the house was in no way germane to the case,” he said. The U.S. Attorney’s Office and East Palo Alto police did not respond to questions about the 2009 case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mica Doctoroff of the American Civil Liberties Union called it “a prime example of people not guilty of doing anything wrong getting swept up in asset forfeiture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, support for California’s SB 443, sponsored by state Sen.

While supporters hope Brown will sign the bill by the Sept. 30 deadline, there is some concern he won't, according to Sasha Khokha, host of The California Report Magazine and one of several reporters who spent months investigating the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no formal opposition to this bill from property owners or janitorial companies, but I think there is some concern that he may not actually sign it,\" says Khokha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, survivors shared their stories in downtown Oakland before a screening of the PBS Frontline documentary \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/rape-on-the-night-shift/\">Rape on the Night Shift\u003c/a>.\" The group also announced plans to demonstrate throughout the month to keep the issue front and center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/280996103\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Almost all of these women were new faces and new voices,\" said Khokha. \"It was quite remarkable at the screening today to see these women who call themselves 'promotoras' -- basically, women who are coming forward to train and be leaders in their communities, train other janitors on issues of sexual assault and harassment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anabella Aguirre -- who held a sign that read \"I kept silent because I didn't want my kids to know\" -- shared her story about being assaulted by her supervisor after he increased her workload for refusing his advances. Her daughter, Yamilex Rustrian, spoke, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The one thing me and my mother have never talked about is rape or sexual harassment,\" Rustrian said. \"Just because she's an immigrant woman, because she's undocumented and because she works in isolation, that they think this is right.

She said that \"speak outs\" will be held at universities across California next week to raise awareness of sexual assault and encourage more survivors to come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to be bridging the struggle of college campus rape and rape within a marginalized community like immigrant undocumented janitors,\" Valles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others plan to fast beginning Sept. 12 until Brown signs the bill into law.

"content": "\u003cp>A group of U.S. Army veterans and other supporters of Sonoma County Sheriff's Sgt. Erick Gelhaus have launched a campaign defending the reputation of the recently promoted deputy, who was cleared of criminal and civil rights violations by local and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/03/doj-clears-sheriffs-deputy-in-andy-lopez-death/\" target=\"_blank\">federal\u003c/a> investigations of his fatal shooting of 13-year-old Andy Lopez in October 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting on the outskirts of Santa Rosa sparked large protests and galvanized Latinos and other residents who believe Lopez's death was unjustified. Gelhaus' colleagues in the Sheriff's Department and other supporters say the case still haunts the officer, who has endured scrutiny, criticism and resentment since Lopez's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For people to continue beating Erick up and call him vile things on the basis of a worst-case-scenario decision is just completely unfair,\" said Robert Parry, Gelhaus' former platoon leader in Baghdad in 2005 and spokesman for the campaign \"Stand With Erick.\" It's a project of Parry's Cop PRotect, which offers reputation protection for law enforcement officers against a \"growing anti-cop industry,\" according to the firm's \u003ca href=\"https://www.copprotect.com/reputation-protection\" target=\"_blank\">website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parry hopes to raise $15,000 through an \u003ca href=\"http://www.standwitherick.org/\" target=\"_blank\">online campaign\u003c/a> to \"help educate the public about Erick and the truth about his incident.\" He had collected $650 in donations as of Sept. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign comes amid backlash over Sheriff Steve Freitas' decision to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/04/sonoma-county-sheriff-promotes-deputy-who-shot-andy-lopez/\" target=\"_blank\">promote Gelhaus to sergeant\u003c/a> in May and increasing scrutiny of law enforcement agencies nationwide, sparked by videos of police-involved shootings of unarmed people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After KQED first reported Gelhaus' promotion last month, dozens of protesters \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/18/santa-rosa-residents-wonder-why-promote-deputy-who-shot-13-year-old/\" target=\"_blank\">renewed calls\u003c/a> for him to be put on a desk job, transferred or fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelhaus' promotion is final, according to the sheriff's office. Freitas believes the officer is \"clearly deserving\" of the promotion to supervisor, given his 26 years in law enforcement and awards for service, such as the office's medal of valor for pulling a suspect from a burning car, said Sgt. Spencer Crum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his new role, Gelhaus supervises eight to 10 deputies on a given shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, members of a county task force to improve police-community relations after Lopez's death urged Freitas to \u003ca href=\"http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/Community-and-Local-Law-Enforcement-Task-Force/Interim-Recommendation-October-2014/\" target=\"_blank\">consider removing\u003c/a> Gelhaus from street patrol due to public concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freitas responded that there were no legal reasons to keep Gelhaus from patrol duty as he was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by the Sonoma County district attorney, and an internal investigation had also determined the officer did not violate any sheriff's office policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Sheriff's Office and I have received literally hundreds of calls, letters of support, and personal interactions with the public that expressed support for Deputy Gelhaus' return to patrol duty,\" Freitas' \u003ca href=\"http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/_templates_portal/NewsDetail.aspx?id=2147499758\" target=\"_blank\">written response\u003c/a> says. \"This includes neighborhoods throughout the entire County. As Sheriff I am elected by the County as a whole and must balance needs for all citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gelhaus Cleared After Investigation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Parry, Lopez's death on the afternoon of Oct. 22, 2013, \"was a terrible thing.\" But he said other officers would have reacted in a similar way, given the circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the county district attorney's \u003ca href=\"http://da.sonoma-county.org/documents/OIS_Report_Lopez.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a>, the whole incident -- from the time Gelhaus spotted Lopez and called for backup to reports of shots being fired -- lasted about 19 seconds. As Lopez was walking away from sheriff's deputies, Gelhaus, an experienced firearms instructor, believed that the teen's replica gun was real and called out to Lopez to drop the gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both officers told investigators that Lopez still held the perceived weapon as he began to turn around, and \"the barrel, which had been pointed down, began to ascend,\" according to the report. That's when Gelhaus began to fire. He shot Lopez seven times, and the teen died at the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's report concludes that no charges against Gelhaus were warranted because, given his training and experience, the officer believed he was faced with a \"'do or die dilemma.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can bring a rifle from down to shooting in less than a second,\" said Parry. \"So when does Erick Gelhaus get to make a decision on whether he’s going to live and die? Does he have to listen to the first round go by his head, hope it doesn’t hit him square in the forehead? When does he get to defend himself from somebody raising a rifle at him?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Critics Question Promotion, Efficacy of Investigations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Lamont, from the Justice Coalition for Andy Lopez, said her group also presented the sheriff with a petition with over 2,500 signatures calling for Gelhaus to be removed from patrol. She is not surprised that fellow veterans support Gelhaus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They act as though killing 'just one person' makes it all OK -- certainly a leniency they don't grant to others\" outside of law enforcement, said Lamont. \"They say no complaints have been sustained against him. But complaints are almost never sustained against officers, no matter what they do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others say the officer pulled his weapon hastily in his encounter with Lopez, and that it wasn't the first time. Santa Rosa resident Jeffrey Westbrook alleges that during a 2013 traffic stop, Gelhaus pointed a gun at him and a passenger in his car without reasonable cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt very victimized, disrespected,\" said Westbrook, who had been driving to work at an IT company. \"The man from the minute he pulled us over had no dialogue with us, didn't explain why we're pulled over. He was just in haste to pull his weapon out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Westbrook filed a complaint with the Sheriff’s Office and disputed the ticket Gelhaus gave him — for an allegedly unsafe lane change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a Sonoma County Superior Court judge threw the ticket out, the sheriff’s internal affairs unit found Westbrook's complaint unfounded. Westbrook said he has little confidence the investigation was unbiased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just sheriffs investigating sheriffs,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, law enforcement agencies\u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/government/about\" target=\"_blank\"> are required\u003c/a> to have a procedure to investigate citizens' complaints. But the state has some of the most restrictive laws in the U.S., which prevent the public from accessing a law enforcement officers' personnel records, according to an \u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/story/police-misconduct-records/\" target=\"_blank\">investigation by WNYC Public Radio\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recent bills seeking to open up police misconduct records in some of the most egregious cases have failed, including \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB1286\" target=\"_blank\">SB 1286\u003c/a> by state Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), which died in committee in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That leaves people who seek greater accountability and transparency for their law enforcement agencies \"nibbling at the edges,\" said Lamont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We certainly need legal changes because law enforcement here in California have been working for decades to protect law enforcement from any oversight by citizens or even the rest of the government and to keep their records secret,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Office Reviews Investigations of Complaints\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to increase public trust, the county hired a civilian auditor to review the sheriff's investigations of the public's complaints against officers. It was set up as a direct result of nearly two years of community meetings after Lopez's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the public can now submit their complaints at the more neutral \u003ca href=\"http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/IOLERO/\" target=\"_blank\">Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach\u003c/a> instead of at the sheriff's department, said Jerry Threet, who began working as the office's first director in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Threet said he will be able to watch investigations as they unfold, and have access to body-cam videos, recordings of interviews with witnesses and documents to determine whether his office agrees with the findings or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Threet can’t require the sheriff to discipline deputies, and lacks the power to conduct a separate investigation of alleged officer misconduct. But he said his office, which is also recruiting a civilian advisory board to give input to the sheriff's office about its policies, is an important step to improve what he called a \"breakdown of trust between law enforcement and the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sheriffs can't do effective policing unless they have cooperation from the communities that they're working with,\" Threet said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gelhaus' colleagues in the Sheriff's Department and other supporters say the case still haunts the officer, who has endured scrutiny, criticism and resentment since Lopez's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For people to continue beating Erick up and call him vile things on the basis of a worst-case-scenario decision is just completely unfair,\" said Robert Parry, Gelhaus' former platoon leader in Baghdad in 2005 and spokesman for the campaign \"Stand With Erick.\" It's a project of Parry's Cop PRotect, which offers reputation protection for law enforcement officers against a \"growing anti-cop industry,\" according to the firm's \u003ca href=\"https://www.copprotect.com/reputation-protection\" target=\"_blank\">website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parry hopes to raise $15,000 through an \u003ca href=\"http://www.standwitherick.org/\" target=\"_blank\">online campaign\u003c/a> to \"help educate the public about Erick and the truth about his incident.\" He had collected $650 in donations as of Sept. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign comes amid backlash over Sheriff Steve Freitas' decision to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/04/sonoma-county-sheriff-promotes-deputy-who-shot-andy-lopez/\" target=\"_blank\">promote Gelhaus to sergeant\u003c/a> in May and increasing scrutiny of law enforcement agencies nationwide, sparked by videos of police-involved shootings of unarmed people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Freitas believes the officer is \"clearly deserving\" of the promotion to supervisor, given his 26 years in law enforcement and awards for service, such as the office's medal of valor for pulling a suspect from a burning car, said Sgt. Spencer Crum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his new role, Gelhaus supervises eight to 10 deputies on a given shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, members of a county task force to improve police-community relations after Lopez's death urged Freitas to \u003ca href=\"http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/Community-and-Local-Law-Enforcement-Task-Force/Interim-Recommendation-October-2014/\" target=\"_blank\">consider removing\u003c/a> Gelhaus from street patrol due to public concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freitas responded that there were no legal reasons to keep Gelhaus from patrol duty as he was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by the Sonoma County district attorney, and an internal investigation had also determined the officer did not violate any sheriff's office policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Sheriff's Office and I have received literally hundreds of calls, letters of support, and personal interactions with the public that expressed support for Deputy Gelhaus' return to patrol duty,\" Freitas' \u003ca href=\"http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/_templates_portal/NewsDetail.aspx?id=2147499758\" target=\"_blank\">written response\u003c/a> says. \"This includes neighborhoods throughout the entire County. As Sheriff I am elected by the County as a whole and must balance needs for all citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gelhaus Cleared After Investigation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Parry, Lopez's death on the afternoon of Oct. 22, 2013, \"was a terrible thing.\" But he said other officers would have reacted in a similar way, given the circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the county district attorney's \u003ca href=\"http://da.sonoma-county.org/documents/OIS_Report_Lopez.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a>, the whole incident -- from the time Gelhaus spotted Lopez and called for backup to reports of shots being fired -- lasted about 19 seconds. As Lopez was walking away from sheriff's deputies, Gelhaus, an experienced firearms instructor, believed that the teen's replica gun was real and called out to Lopez to drop the gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both officers told investigators that Lopez still held the perceived weapon as he began to turn around, and \"the barrel, which had been pointed down, began to ascend,\" according to the report. That's when Gelhaus began to fire. He shot Lopez seven times, and the teen died at the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's report concludes that no charges against Gelhaus were warranted because, given his training and experience, the officer believed he was faced with a \"'do or die dilemma.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can bring a rifle from down to shooting in less than a second,\" said Parry. \"So when does Erick Gelhaus get to make a decision on whether he’s going to live and die? Does he have to listen to the first round go by his head, hope it doesn’t hit him square in the forehead? When does he get to defend himself from somebody raising a rifle at him?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Critics Question Promotion, Efficacy of Investigations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Lamont, from the Justice Coalition for Andy Lopez, said her group also presented the sheriff with a petition with over 2,500 signatures calling for Gelhaus to be removed from patrol. She is not surprised that fellow veterans support Gelhaus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They act as though killing 'just one person' makes it all OK -- certainly a leniency they don't grant to others\" outside of law enforcement, said Lamont. \"They say no complaints have been sustained against him. But complaints are almost never sustained against officers, no matter what they do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others say the officer pulled his weapon hastily in his encounter with Lopez, and that it wasn't the first time. Santa Rosa resident Jeffrey Westbrook alleges that during a 2013 traffic stop, Gelhaus pointed a gun at him and a passenger in his car without reasonable cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt very victimized, disrespected,\" said Westbrook, who had been driving to work at an IT company. \"The man from the minute he pulled us over had no dialogue with us, didn't explain why we're pulled over. He was just in haste to pull his weapon out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Westbrook filed a complaint with the Sheriff’s Office and disputed the ticket Gelhaus gave him — for an allegedly unsafe lane change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a Sonoma County Superior Court judge threw the ticket out, the sheriff’s internal affairs unit found Westbrook's complaint unfounded. Westbrook said he has little confidence the investigation was unbiased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just sheriffs investigating sheriffs,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, law enforcement agencies\u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/government/about\" target=\"_blank\"> are required\u003c/a> to have a procedure to investigate citizens' complaints. But the state has some of the most restrictive laws in the U.S., which prevent the public from accessing a law enforcement officers' personnel records, according to an \u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/story/police-misconduct-records/\" target=\"_blank\">investigation by WNYC Public Radio\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recent bills seeking to open up police misconduct records in some of the most egregious cases have failed, including \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB1286\" target=\"_blank\">SB 1286\u003c/a> by state Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), which died in committee in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That leaves people who seek greater accountability and transparency for their law enforcement agencies \"nibbling at the edges,\" said Lamont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We certainly need legal changes because law enforcement here in California have been working for decades to protect law enforcement from any oversight by citizens or even the rest of the government and to keep their records secret,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Office Reviews Investigations of Complaints\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to increase public trust, the county hired a civilian auditor to review the sheriff's investigations of the public's complaints against officers. It was set up as a direct result of nearly two years of community meetings after Lopez's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the public can now submit their complaints at the more neutral \u003ca href=\"http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/IOLERO/\" target=\"_blank\">Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach\u003c/a> instead of at the sheriff's department, said Jerry Threet, who began working as the office's first director in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Threet said he will be able to watch investigations as they unfold, and have access to body-cam videos, recordings of interviews with witnesses and documents to determine whether his office agrees with the findings or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Threet can’t require the sheriff to discipline deputies, and lacks the power to conduct a separate investigation of alleged officer misconduct. But he said his office, which is also recruiting a civilian advisory board to give input to the sheriff's office about its policies, is an important step to improve what he called a \"breakdown of trust between law enforcement and the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Known as asset forfeiture, the practice allows law enforcement officials to seize someone’s property if they suspect it is tied to criminal activity. Asset forfeiture originally became popular among law enforcement agencies as a way to go after large drug dealers, but critics say it’s become a way for police and prosecutors to pad their budgets with the money of innocent, often marginalized people. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB443\" target=\"_blank\">SB 443\u003c/a> by state Sen. Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, was two years in the making. Last year, prosecutors successfully lobbied to kill the bill in the Assembly. But this year, law enforcement groups agreed to a series of amendments, and the bill passed with bipartisan support in both houses. If signed by Brown, the legislation would require a conviction before the permanent seizure of cash or property worth less than $40,000.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://Link%20to:%20https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/25/lawmakers-back-retirement-plan-for-california-workers/\">\u003cstrong>Retirement Savings Accounts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThere are an estimated 7 million California workers who aren’t offered any sort of retirement account by their jobs -- and state Senate President Pro Tem Kevin \u003cspan class=\"il\">de\u003c/span> \u003cspan class=\"il\">León \u003c/span>has been working for years to change that.

Known as asset forfeiture, the practice allows law enforcement officials to seize someone’s property if they suspect it is tied to criminal activity. Asset forfeiture originally became popular among law enforcement agencies as a way to go after large drug dealers, but critics say it’s become a way for police and prosecutors to pad their budgets with the money of innocent, often marginalized people. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB443\" target=\"_blank\">SB 443\u003c/a> by state Sen. Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, was two years in the making. Last year, prosecutors successfully lobbied to kill the bill in the Assembly. But this year, law enforcement groups agreed to a series of amendments, and the bill passed with bipartisan support in both houses. If signed by Brown, the legislation would require a conviction before the permanent seizure of cash or property worth less than $40,000.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://Link%20to:%20https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/25/lawmakers-back-retirement-plan-for-california-workers/\">\u003cstrong>Retirement Savings Accounts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThere are an estimated 7 million California workers who aren’t offered any sort of retirement account by their jobs -- and state Senate President Pro Tem Kevin \u003cspan class=\"il\">de\u003c/span> \u003cspan class=\"il\">León \u003c/span>has been working for years to change that.
