She has rappelled down into caves and gone up in helicopters for KQED’s The California Report but her favorite place to pursue a story is the High Sierra or any family-run bakery, of course. Alice has a masters in journalism from Columbia University and teaches at Fresno State. She is a California Healthline Regional Correspondent and a frequent contributor to Success magazine. In her free time, she skis and hikes, throws pottery, practices piano and looks out the window.",

Three Brothers has a $5.3 million contract for work on Block 53 of the Shipyard project. “If you can do two, three million dollars worth of work, you don’t really need the CAP office,” said Jones. “It can be useful, it’s been useful, but it’s not like I’m getting what I need from the CAP office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other local contractors who have won work on the Shipyard project questioned the usefulness of the program. Clyde Miller, vice president of Astron Development, said he thought Butler Enterprise Group’s only job was to send out bid announcements. Willie McGary, owner of Hercules Builders, said that Butler helped him by setting up a meeting with Cahill Contractors, but also said that he avoided talking to Butler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always assume he’s wearing a wire,” said McGary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11027330\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11027330 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/ShipyardBanners-800x522.jpg\" alt=\"Signs advertising the new Shipyard development surround one of the project's ongoing construction sites at Hunters Point.\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/ShipyardBanners-800x522.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/ShipyardBanners-400x261.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/ShipyardBanners.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/ShipyardBanners-1180x769.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/ShipyardBanners-960x626.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Signs advertising the new San Francisco Shipyard development surround one of the project’s ongoing construction sites at Hunters Point. \u003ccite>(Brittany Hosea-Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Butler was charged with counterfeiting in 1996, and was sentenced to one month in prison after \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/cesar-chavez-area-stabbings-and-shootings-contribute-to-failed-fanatics-sports-bar-and-grill-the-derf-butler-story/Content?oid=2165043&showFullText=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cooperating with federal prosecutors\u003c/a>.

The man at the center of it is Charles Kinsey, who gave an interview to \u003ca href=\"http://wsvn.com/news/local/video-shows-moments-before-north-miami-police-shot-unarmed-man/\">local TV news Channel 7 WSVN\u003c/a> from his hospital bed in which he described telling officers — who were responding to a call of an armed man threatening suicide — that he was attempting to bring a man with autism back to the assisted living facility from which he had wandered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, North Miami police say officers who responded to the scene \"attempted to negotiate with two men on the scene,\" and that one of the officers discharged his weapon. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/nmpdnews\">The department says\u003c/a> the officer is now on administrative leave and that it's investigating the case with the help of the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/NorthMiamiPD/status/756150627273732096\">In a subsequent press conference\u003c/a>, North Miami Police Chief Gary Eugene said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has taken over the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the incident, the patient had a toy truck. Kinsey says he had been worried for the patient's safety and was surprised that he himself was shot — he tells Channel 7 that he had his hands up as high as he could get them, and had obeyed an order to lie on the ground. In a segment of the encounter with police that apparently wasn't captured on video, Kinsey was shot in the leg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm like this right here, and when he shot me, it was so surprising,\" Kinsey tells Channel 7. \"It was like a mosquito bite, and when it hit me, I'm like, I still got my hands in the air, and I said, no, I just got shot! And I'm saying, 'Sir, why did you shoot me?' and his words to me, he said, 'I don't know.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kinsey went on to say that he was also surprised at how he was treated after he was shot:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"They flipped me over, and I'm faced down in the ground, with cuffs on, waiting on the rescue squad to come.

And I was like, bleeding — I mean bleeding, and I was like, 'Wow.' \"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Kinsey is a member of a group called the Circle of Brotherhood, according to Channel 7, which reports that other members of the group visited the North Miami police station Wednesday evening to seek answers about Kinsey's case. \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Circle-of-Brotherhood-1424892721091102/\">The group's Facebook page\u003c/a> includes a photo with the motto: \"Black men solving their own community problems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

The gathering was the culmination of a serious, two-year body-camera project. Starting Wednesday night the first group of trained officers were on patrol with body cameras rolling for any enforcement action. Over the next few months, more than 900 San Jose police officers will be trained and dispatched with the cameras, joining many other law enforcement departments across the nation in adopting body cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Very historical moment for San Jose,\" said Eddie Garcia, San Jose police chief. \"Body-worn cameras are here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Jose Police Department becomes part of the country's body-worn camera \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/body-cam-city-map\">trend\u003c/a>, as police departments and the nation reel from questionable officer-involved shootings of African-American men and the fatal shootings of five Dallas police officers July 7 and three Baton Rouge police officers Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It almost appears that we're at a time of national crisis,\" said Walter Katz, the independent police auditor for San Jose. \"It feels like we're at a fork in the road, at either fixing police-community relations or going to a very bad place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Jose's Washington neighborhood -- an area patrolled by Pritchard because of longtime gang activity -- street-savvy Miguel Bucio agrees the timing is good. The 19-year-old said he's a gang member and he wants the cameras rolling as much as possible because he often gets stopped and questioned by police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's a good idea for them to have cameras because of everything that's been happening,\" said Bucio. \"They assume we have guns and stuff. I think it's good they can see we don't have nothing on us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the key parts of the San Jose police officers' training focuses on when to turn the new $400 cameras on and off. Garcia said the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sjpd.org/InsideSJPD/BodyCameras/BWC_Policy.html\">policy\u003c/a> is direct and comprehensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they're conducting enforcement, they'll be rolling,\" said Garcia. \"If they performed a car or pedestrian stop, that should be recorded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make sure the cameras are activated when they should be, supervisors will be conducting random audits to make sure they are recording, said Lt. Elle Washburn of SJPD's body-worn camera administrative unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We tell our officers you're not going to get in trouble for the videos you have. What's going to get you into trouble is when you are supposed to have a video and don't,\" said Washburn. \"And they're learning that through training.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Garcia said that when officers are dispatched on calls for service they are logged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, if they went out on a call for service -- if they performed a car or pedestrian stop -- that stop should be recorded,\" said Garcia. \"So there's going to be a way that we're going to be able to tell that as well when you cross-reference those things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washburn said it's also impossible to alter the body-camera tape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no way to eliminate it or delete it or alter it,\" said Washburn. \"There's audit trails, there's security measures built into the system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As independent police auditor, Katz said one of the most controversial issues involves access to the tapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officers for the San Jose Police Department will be able to see the footage before writing their reports, with the exception of officer-involved shootings and other highly critical incidents like that,\" said Katz. \"I'm not really happy with that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katz said he will have access to the video but the public will not right away, if at all, because the California Public Records Act restricts that during an investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washburn said the Police Department is in constant discussion and analysis with the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office and the city attorney's office about how and when that information will be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I recognize we're spending a lot of public money on body cameras, but just because it's not going to be immediately released to the public or end up on the 10 o'clock news does not mean it's not without value,\" said Washburn. \"It [the video] doesn't go away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said his office may release the video when an investigation is over, but also may decide not to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we're not filing criminal charges but then we release all of these police reports or video footage, well, aren't we smearing the individual involved then?\" said Rosen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has been meeting with all of the police chiefs in Santa Clara County for the last three years developing the guidelines for body cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The California Public Records Act is different than the public records acts\u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/police-body-camera-policies-retention-and-release\"> in other states,\u003c/a>\" said Rosen. \"And there's an exception in the California Public Records Act for investigations. And so how that's interpreted will determine, to an extent, how body-worn camera footage will be made public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen said there are different scenarios. He recently released the body-camera footage of an \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/news/ci_29934345/palo-alto-officers-cleared-video-released-christmas-shooting\">officer-involved-shooting in Palo Alto \u003c/a>following the investigation. He said a public report explained why he didn't file charges in that particular case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When body-worn camera footage is admitted into court as evidence, then it's public in the same way as everything else that is admitted,\" said Rosen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katz fully expects the issue of body-worn cam video access to be revisited and refined as the program develops.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The 19-year-old said he's a gang member and he wants the cameras rolling as much as possible because he often gets stopped and questioned by police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's a good idea for them to have cameras because of everything that's been happening,\" said Bucio. \"They assume we have guns and stuff. I think it's good they can see we don't have nothing on us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the key parts of the San Jose police officers' training focuses on when to turn the new $400 cameras on and off. Garcia said the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sjpd.org/InsideSJPD/BodyCameras/BWC_Policy.html\">policy\u003c/a> is direct and comprehensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they're conducting enforcement, they'll be rolling,\" said Garcia. \"If they performed a car or pedestrian stop, that should be recorded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make sure the cameras are activated when they should be, supervisors will be conducting random audits to make sure they are recording, said Lt. Elle Washburn of SJPD's body-worn camera administrative unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We tell our officers you're not going to get in trouble for the videos you have. What's going to get you into trouble is when you are supposed to have a video and don't,\" said Washburn. \"And they're learning that through training.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Garcia said that when officers are dispatched on calls for service they are logged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, if they went out on a call for service -- if they performed a car or pedestrian stop -- that stop should be recorded,\" said Garcia. \"So there's going to be a way that we're going to be able to tell that as well when you cross-reference those things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washburn said it's also impossible to alter the body-camera tape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no way to eliminate it or delete it or alter it,\" said Washburn. \"There's audit trails, there's security measures built into the system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As independent police auditor, Katz said one of the most controversial issues involves access to the tapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officers for the San Jose Police Department will be able to see the footage before writing their reports, with the exception of officer-involved shootings and other highly critical incidents like that,\" said Katz. \"I'm not really happy with that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katz said he will have access to the video but the public will not right away, if at all, because the California Public Records Act restricts that during an investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washburn said the Police Department is in constant discussion and analysis with the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office and the city attorney's office about how and when that information will be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I recognize we're spending a lot of public money on body cameras, but just because it's not going to be immediately released to the public or end up on the 10 o'clock news does not mean it's not without value,\" said Washburn. \"It [the video] doesn't go away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said his office may release the video when an investigation is over, but also may decide not to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we're not filing criminal charges but then we release all of these police reports or video footage, well, aren't we smearing the individual involved then?\" said Rosen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has been meeting with all of the police chiefs in Santa Clara County for the last three years developing the guidelines for body cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The California Public Records Act is different than the public records acts\u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/police-body-camera-policies-retention-and-release\"> in other states,\u003c/a>\" said Rosen. \"And there's an exception in the California Public Records Act for investigations. And so how that's interpreted will determine, to an extent, how body-worn camera footage will be made public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen said there are different scenarios. He recently released the body-camera footage of an \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/news/ci_29934345/palo-alto-officers-cleared-video-released-christmas-shooting\">officer-involved-shooting in Palo Alto \u003c/a>following the investigation. He said a public report explained why he didn't file charges in that particular case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When body-worn camera footage is admitted into court as evidence, then it's public in the same way as everything else that is admitted,\" said Rosen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katz fully expects the issue of body-worn cam video access to be revisited and refined as the program develops.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The 53-year-old died before his body was set on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day, officers responding to a 911 call found Manuel Mason, 61, who remained in critical condition Monday with injuries to his upper torso. A few hours later, police discovered the body of Shawn Longley, 41, who bled from the upper torso and died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dionicio Derek Vahidy, 23, died Sunday at a hospital, four days after he was set on fire downtown.

The connections point to officers with long careers in the Police Department and to a much more direct connection in the SFPD than just a handful of recent Oakland transfers.

They include a former police commissioner and a recent member of the board of directors of the police officers' union, the Police Officers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One retired SFPD officer repeatedly “liked” and commented on some of Guap’s more suggestive Facebook photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“yow!!!!!” the former officer wrote.

We don’t always make the right decisions.

The connections point to officers with long careers in the Police Department and to a much more direct connection in the SFPD than just a handful of recent Oakland transfers. Guap's connections include at least three current and 21 retired officers. They include a former police commissioner and a recent member of the board of directors of the police officers' union, the Police Officers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One retired SFPD officer repeatedly “liked” and commented on some of Guap’s more suggestive Facebook photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“yow!!!!!” the former officer wrote. Other comments he wrote included:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“love the short shorts”\u003cbr>\n“Beautiful!!!!!”\u003cbr>\n“WO(W!!!”\u003cbr>\n“Gorgous (sic)”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attempts to reach that retired officer were unsuccessful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED is withholding the names of officers quoted in this report at this time because publication of those names could unfairly harm people whose connections may have been incidental and may not indicate wrongdoing. We are using \"Guap's\" pseudonym to protect the identity of someone who may have been sexually exploited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\n\"The Police Department at a minimum should look at this Facebook page of hers, which shows this interaction with San Francisco police officers,\" said law professor and city ethics commissioner Peter Keane. He's also a former police commissioner, but not the one with a social media connection to Guap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keane said investigators should interview officers to determine the \"extent of the relationships, if any, there have been between these officers and this woman.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Department spokesman Sgt. Michael Andraychak said the matter is subject to an open internal affairs investigation. He would not say whether that investigation might include a review of officers' social media accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Examiner \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sf-police-investigating-second-officer-link-oakland-sex-trafficking-scandal/\" target=\"_blank\">reported Friday\u003c/a> that Officer Rodger Ponce De Leon is a subject of the department's internal investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many SFPD officers' Facebook interactions with Guap are inconclusive, and a large group of officers were simply “friends” with her at one point but never interacted beyond that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This case raised lots of red flags for me personally,\" Police Commissioner Victor Hwang wrote in an emailed response, noting that as a public figure, he receives a lot of \"friend requests\" on social media, sometimes \"from individuals with provocative profile pictures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's hard to figure out what's what,\" he wrote. \"All I can say is that the department is honestly looking into this to see if any officer had more than just a Facebook acquaintance with the victim.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many interactions go beyond \"just friends.\" Several officers repeatedly \"liked\" or commented on suggestive photos of Guap, including one recently retired SFPD officer with more than three decades on the force, who agreed to speak to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Police officers, being human, they do make mistakes,\" that former officer said. \"So they may 'friend' somebody who maybe they shouldn’t be friends with. We don’t always make the right decisions. We try to do what’s right, but it doesn’t always turn out that way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former officer, along with many others, started to shed those social media connections with Guap as the crisis grew.
