That has meant assigning officers to specific beats, addressing crime as a public health crisis, and hiring and training a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/taskforce/submissions/Magnus_Chris_Testimony.pdf\">diverse\u003c/a> pool of officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a defensive tactics instructor for the Richmond Police Department, it is Loucas’ job to help with that training. He equips officers with handcuffing techniques and control holds — which he says are all ways to avoid using lethal force. So, when he watches videos of police shootings, like those that occurred last week in \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/12/us/police-shootings-investigations/\">Baton Rogue\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officer-thought-philando-castile-was-robbery-suspect-tapes-show-n607856\">Minnesota\u003c/a>, he said he looks at them through a different lens than the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Quite frankly, I’m looking for mistakes that the officers may have made in their tactics to learn from them,” Loucas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the decade since he joined the city’s police force, Loucas said he’s seen how positive community police relations can help keep officers safe and help them fight crime. But he also said just putting on the uniform and driving around in a marked vehicle makes him a target in some neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people that don’t necessarily care for the police profession,” he said. “It may not necessarily be the officer, because I haven’t done anything personally to anyone. But because I wear the uniform I am on the other side of the fence, and therefore I’m that guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11019202\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11019202 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-800x606.jpg\" alt=\"Richmond's Police Chief Allwyn Brown addressed a small gathering of protestors on July 8, 2016\" width=\"800\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-800x606.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-400x303.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-1920x1454.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-1180x894.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-960x727.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richmond Police Chief Allwyn Brown addressed a small gathering of protesters on July 8, 2016. \u003ccite>(Sukey Lewis/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Across town at Richmond’s City Hall, Police Chief Allwyn Brown addressed a crowd of about 50 local residents, faith leaders and politicians gathered in front of City Hall to protest police violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trying to shore up trust in his community, Brown told the small crowd that the legacy of police in America is negative, but his department is trying to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are proud of the gains that we’ve made, but that’s just today, right?” he said. “We are proud of the relationships that we’ve built up, but all relationships are based on trust and trust is fragile. And trust is an easy thing to break, so we don’t take it lightly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A local pastor led the group in prayers. And as the sun set, local resident and community activist Tamisha Walker joined others making their way back toward the parking lot. Walker said even after all the speeches and prayers at this gathering, she’s still disappointed that in a city of over 100,000 residents — more than 30 percent of whom are African-American — so few people showed up. And she said she’s frustrated that the speakers, from faith leaders to politicians, didn’t really get to the point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I heard a lot of language around like we can do better,” she said. “And when I hear ‘we,’ I would like to know who is the ‘we’ ’cause the reality is all our lives people in dark bodies in this country have been told that we could do better. And we still get killed in the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker said the killing of five police officers in Dallas was tragic, and that nobody should have to lose their lives in that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the other thing is that, you know, they signed up for a risky job,” she said. “Like they said, they risk their lives every day for their communities. I don’t sign up to be killed in my car at a traffic stop. I don’t sign up for that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Richmond’s police force is unusual in its community policing efforts, Walker said, her community still can’t afford to be silent or complacent. And as a black woman and a mother to two boys, she said it’s her challenge to keep this conversation alive.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That has meant assigning officers to specific beats, addressing crime as a public health crisis, and hiring and training a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/taskforce/submissions/Magnus_Chris_Testimony.pdf\">diverse\u003c/a> pool of officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a defensive tactics instructor for the Richmond Police Department, it is Loucas’ job to help with that training. He equips officers with handcuffing techniques and control holds — which he says are all ways to avoid using lethal force. So, when he watches videos of police shootings, like those that occurred last week in \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/12/us/police-shootings-investigations/\">Baton Rogue\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officer-thought-philando-castile-was-robbery-suspect-tapes-show-n607856\">Minnesota\u003c/a>, he said he looks at them through a different lens than the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Quite frankly, I’m looking for mistakes that the officers may have made in their tactics to learn from them,” Loucas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the decade since he joined the city’s police force, Loucas said he’s seen how positive community police relations can help keep officers safe and help them fight crime. But he also said just putting on the uniform and driving around in a marked vehicle makes him a target in some neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people that don’t necessarily care for the police profession,” he said. “It may not necessarily be the officer, because I haven’t done anything personally to anyone. But because I wear the uniform I am on the other side of the fence, and therefore I’m that guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11019202\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11019202 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-800x606.jpg\" alt=\"Richmond's Police Chief Allwyn Brown addressed a small gathering of protestors on July 8, 2016\" width=\"800\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-800x606.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-400x303.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-1920x1454.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-1180x894.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/ABJuly9-960x727.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richmond Police Chief Allwyn Brown addressed a small gathering of protesters on July 8, 2016. \u003ccite>(Sukey Lewis/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Across town at Richmond’s City Hall, Police Chief Allwyn Brown addressed a crowd of about 50 local residents, faith leaders and politicians gathered in front of City Hall to protest police violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trying to shore up trust in his community, Brown told the small crowd that the legacy of police in America is negative, but his department is trying to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are proud of the gains that we’ve made, but that’s just today, right?” he said. “We are proud of the relationships that we’ve built up, but all relationships are based on trust and trust is fragile. And trust is an easy thing to break, so we don’t take it lightly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A local pastor led the group in prayers. And as the sun set, local resident and community activist Tamisha Walker joined others making their way back toward the parking lot. Walker said even after all the speeches and prayers at this gathering, she’s still disappointed that in a city of over 100,000 residents — more than 30 percent of whom are African-American — so few people showed up. And she said she’s frustrated that the speakers, from faith leaders to politicians, didn’t really get to the point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I heard a lot of language around like we can do better,” she said. “And when I hear ‘we,’ I would like to know who is the ‘we’ ’cause the reality is all our lives people in dark bodies in this country have been told that we could do better. And we still get killed in the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker said the killing of five police officers in Dallas was tragic, and that nobody should have to lose their lives in that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the other thing is that, you know, they signed up for a risky job,” she said. “Like they said, they risk their lives every day for their communities. I don’t sign up to be killed in my car at a traffic stop. I don’t sign up for that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Richmond’s police force is unusual in its community policing efforts, Walker said, her community still can’t afford to be silent or complacent. And as a black woman and a mother to two boys, she said it’s her challenge to keep this conversation alive.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The driver appeared to ignore officers’ initial attempt to pull him over before steering his vehicle into the driveway of a gas station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, the video shows, Noble disregarded increasingly frantic commands from the officers, one of whom had drawn his weapon and pointed it over the steering wheel while he was still driving his squad car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Get on the ground now! Get on the ground now! Get your fucking ass on the ground! Fresno Police Department!” one of the officers, wielding a shotgun, shouts. “Drop whatever you have in your hand! If you come forward, you’re gonna get shot, man!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble continues approaching police and can be heard yelling “I fucking hate my life!” a moment before shots are fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the unidentified Fresno officers initially fired two shots, after which Noble collapsed to the pavement, then rolled onto his back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers demanded he keep his hands away from his waistband. When the seriously wounded Noble didn’t comply, they each fired one more shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble had no weapons and the object he was holding was a small, clear plastic container, Police Chief Jerry Dyer said at a news conference called to release the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer said that he decided to release what he called “extremely disturbing” footage in an effort to answer questions raised by the release last week of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE7t33VoLpU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a bystanders’ cellphone video\u003c/a> that shows the last two shots fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I anticipate that some of this video will answer many of the questions out there in this community,” Dyer said. “However, I believe this video is also going to raise questions in the minds of people, just as those questions exist in my mind as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer acknowledged the police video will anger many in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tensions are high,” Dyer said. “In some cases we are one spark away from a forest fire. And I pray this video doesn’t serve as that spark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer said he intended to make the video public last Friday, but he held off because of the shooting deaths of police in Dallas the night before. The video was shown last week to Noble’s father and stepfather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer, who has asked the FBI to do its own investigation into the shooting, said he has yet to conclude if officers used excessive force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article89431417.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Fresno Bee’s account\u003c/a> of Dyer’s press conference:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Dyer said some of the video will answer many of the questions out in the community, but it may raise other questions – particularly whether the last two rounds fired by officers were necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I, too, have questions about the last two rounds fired,” Dyer said, and whether they were “absolutely necessary or were there other options.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is awaiting the conclusion of the investigation – a criminal investigation as well as an internal affairs investigation – before he can answer whether the officers followed department policy and the laws governing use of force, and whether the last two rounds fired at Noble were necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will make the right decision for this city, and the right decision for the officers involved,” Dyer said. He said he would look at every one of the four rounds that were fired, and whether each of them was needed and within the law.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The killing of Noble, who was white, came more than a week before widely publicized fatal police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. Like those episodes, the Noble shooting has sparked protest marches in Fresno, including one immediately after police released the body-cam video on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble’s parents and their attorney reacted skeptically — and angrily — after the video was released. \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article89431417.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From the Fresno Bee\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Warren Paboojian, an attorney for the teen’s father, Darren Noble, met with reporters at his northwest Fresno office after Dyer spoke at police headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to focus on one real important area,” said Paboojian. “This is a traffic stop.

Fresno Police Department!” one of the officers, wielding a shotgun, shouts. “Drop whatever you have in your hand!

When the seriously wounded Noble didn’t comply, they each fired one more shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble had no weapons and the object he was holding was a small, clear plastic container, Police Chief Jerry Dyer said at a news conference called to release the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer said that he decided to release what he called “extremely disturbing” footage in an effort to answer questions raised by the release last week of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE7t33VoLpU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a bystanders’ cellphone video\u003c/a> that shows the last two shots fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I anticipate that some of this video will answer many of the questions out there in this community,” Dyer said. “However, I believe this video is also going to raise questions in the minds of people, just as those questions exist in my mind as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer acknowledged the police video will anger many in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tensions are high,” Dyer said. “In some cases we are one spark away from a forest fire. And I pray this video doesn’t serve as that spark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer said he intended to make the video public last Friday, but he held off because of the shooting deaths of police in Dallas the night before. The video was shown last week to Noble’s father and stepfather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer, who has asked the FBI to do its own investigation into the shooting, said he has yet to conclude if officers used excessive force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article89431417.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Fresno Bee’s account\u003c/a> of Dyer’s press conference:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Dyer said some of the video will answer many of the questions out in the community, but it may raise other questions – particularly whether the last two rounds fired by officers were necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I, too, have questions about the last two rounds fired,” Dyer said, and whether they were “absolutely necessary or were there other options.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is awaiting the conclusion of the investigation – a criminal investigation as well as an internal affairs investigation – before he can answer whether the officers followed department policy and the laws governing use of force, and whether the last two rounds fired at Noble were necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will make the right decision for this city, and the right decision for the officers involved,” Dyer said. He said he would look at every one of the four rounds that were fired, and whether each of them was needed and within the law.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The killing of Noble, who was white, came more than a week before widely publicized fatal police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. Like those episodes, the Noble shooting has sparked protest marches in Fresno, including one immediately after police released the body-cam video on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble’s parents and their attorney reacted skeptically — and angrily — after the video was released. \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article89431417.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From the Fresno Bee\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Warren Paboojian, an attorney for the teen’s father, Darren Noble, met with reporters at his northwest Fresno office after Dyer spoke at police headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to focus on one real important area,” said Paboojian. “This is a traffic stop. By no stretch of the imagination do we get (from) traffic stop to felony.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are going to question Dylan’s conduct of why he did certain things,” Paboojian said. “The officers never gave Dylan an explanation or a chance to speak. The officers never, in those 30 commandments that Jerry Dyer indicated, did they ask him, ‘Do you have a gun?’ All they were doing was telling a young boy who may have been under the influence of some alcohol to do a bunch of commands for a routine traffic stop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darren Noble, who had an opportunity to view the footage earlier this month, had a harsh assessment of the officers’ encounter with his son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He got murdered,” Noble said. “There was no reason for them to even have guns drawn down on him for a traffic stop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… Noble’s mother, Veronica Nelson, has filed a claim against the city, saying Fresno police made no attempt to use anything less than lethal force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stuart Chandler, Nelson’s attorney, filed the claim on Monday.

He recalls that chilly March day when motorcycle cops Mark Dunakin and John Hege pulled over a car in East Oakland. The driver was Lovelle Mixon, a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2009/03/26/parole-reform/\">parolee with a warrant out for his arrest\u003c/a>. In a few short moments \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Family-s-account-of-Oakland-parolee-who-killed-3167584.php\">Mixon shot both officers\u003c/a> and fled, setting off an intensive manhunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan was driving his daughter back from a soccer tournament that day and had just exited the freeway when he got the call. \"They just told me that one of our motorcycle officers was down,\" he remembers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Jordan made his way to the hospital, Dunakin had already died and Hege was on life support. Jordan found a crowd of Oakland police in the lobby, wanting to pay last respects to the fallen officers. There would be more deaths within hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Jordan pulled into the parking lot of the Eastmont station he heard over the police radio that two other officers had been killed. Jordan thought he had misheard. \"I said, 'Hey, is this a repeat? Is this happening? Is this two new officers?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other officers had indeed been shot dead trying to capture Mixon in a home: SWAT team officers Daniel Sakai and Ervin Romans. The shooter was then killed by another member of that team. As Oakland headed into the funerals the next week, the grief for many was overwhelming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SWAT team captain at the time was Ed Tracey, who is now deceased. Tracey spoke with KQED reporter Stephanie Martin Taylor just days before the funeral for the four officers. \"What it does to our department is, it's hurting us,\" Tracey said. \"It’s tearing us up. It’s so traumatic for me as a captain of this division, of the SWAT team, because I know I lost two of my best team leaders. So when they fall, everybody’s vulnerable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11018326\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/GettyImages-85587250-e1468358532978.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11018326\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/GettyImages-85587250-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland police officers stand next to a makeshift memorial on MacArthur Boulevard during a vigil for the four officers shot and killed on March 21, 2009.\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland police officers stand next to a makeshift memorial on MacArthur Boulevard during a vigil for the four officers shot and killed on March 21, 2009. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of the first steps former Oakland chief Jordan says he took at the time was to visit each officer’s family. \"To talk to every family member present at that house -- I did that personally,\" says Jordan. \"I did not delegate that. Because what I didn’t want to happen, I didn’t want to meet the families for the first time at the officers' funeral.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jordan says that after the horror of the moment is over, some of the toughest times begin. He traces the suicides of two officers to that day in 2009. Others, he says, turned to alcohol or became unstable and retired early. Some of the officers who saw their colleagues die that day went on leave and never came back to the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Texas shootings, Dallas Police Chief David Brown \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/09/us/dallas-police-chief-david-brown-a-reformer-becomes-face-of-nations-shock.html?_r=0\">has been getting praise\u003c/a> for his handling of the situation -- and for his emotional honesty. The morning after the attack, Brown said, “We’re hurting, our profession is hurting, Dallas officers are hurting,”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan says the chief’s acknowledgement of the severity of the situation can help officers cope and it sends a message. \"That we’re not discounting or trying to minimize what happened,\" Jordan says. \"We’re going to face the issue, the fact that this is a very difficult situation. We’re going to face it head-on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t mean that Oakland officers ever got over it. Since the Dallas shooting, Jordan says, Oakland police he knew then have been texting and calling him to talk, as the memories resurface.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He recalls that chilly March day when motorcycle cops Mark Dunakin and John Hege pulled over a car in East Oakland. The driver was Lovelle Mixon, a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2009/03/26/parole-reform/\">parolee with a warrant out for his arrest\u003c/a>. In a few short moments \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Family-s-account-of-Oakland-parolee-who-killed-3167584.php\">Mixon shot both officers\u003c/a> and fled, setting off an intensive manhunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan was driving his daughter back from a soccer tournament that day and had just exited the freeway when he got the call. \"They just told me that one of our motorcycle officers was down,\" he remembers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jordan found a crowd of Oakland police in the lobby, wanting to pay last respects to the fallen officers. There would be more deaths within hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Jordan pulled into the parking lot of the Eastmont station he heard over the police radio that two other officers had been killed. Jordan thought he had misheard. \"I said, 'Hey, is this a repeat? Is this happening? Is this two new officers?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other officers had indeed been shot dead trying to capture Mixon in a home: SWAT team officers Daniel Sakai and Ervin Romans. The shooter was then killed by another member of that team. As Oakland headed into the funerals the next week, the grief for many was overwhelming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SWAT team captain at the time was Ed Tracey, who is now deceased. Tracey spoke with KQED reporter Stephanie Martin Taylor just days before the funeral for the four officers. \"What it does to our department is, it's hurting us,\" Tracey said. \"It’s tearing us up. It’s so traumatic for me as a captain of this division, of the SWAT team, because I know I lost two of my best team leaders. So when they fall, everybody’s vulnerable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11018326\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/GettyImages-85587250-e1468358532978.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11018326\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/GettyImages-85587250-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland police officers stand next to a makeshift memorial on MacArthur Boulevard during a vigil for the four officers shot and killed on March 21, 2009.\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland police officers stand next to a makeshift memorial on MacArthur Boulevard during a vigil for the four officers shot and killed on March 21, 2009. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of the first steps former Oakland chief Jordan says he took at the time was to visit each officer’s family. \"To talk to every family member present at that house -- I did that personally,\" says Jordan. \"I did not delegate that. Because what I didn’t want to happen, I didn’t want to meet the families for the first time at the officers' funeral.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jordan says that after the horror of the moment is over, some of the toughest times begin. He traces the suicides of two officers to that day in 2009. Others, he says, turned to alcohol or became unstable and retired early. Some of the officers who saw their colleagues die that day went on leave and never came back to the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Texas shootings, Dallas Police Chief David Brown \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/09/us/dallas-police-chief-david-brown-a-reformer-becomes-face-of-nations-shock.html?_r=0\">has been getting praise\u003c/a> for his handling of the situation -- and for his emotional honesty. The morning after the attack, Brown said, “We’re hurting, our profession is hurting, Dallas officers are hurting,”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan says the chief’s acknowledgement of the severity of the situation can help officers cope and it sends a message. \"That we’re not discounting or trying to minimize what happened,\" Jordan says. \"We’re going to face the issue, the fact that this is a very difficult situation. We’re going to face it head-on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t mean that Oakland officers ever got over it. Since the Dallas shooting, Jordan says, Oakland police he knew then have been texting and calling him to talk, as the memories resurface.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
