Most of the complaints result in admonishments or reprimands and maybe retraining. With that low level of discipline, officers are not being held accountable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The OCC’s officer-involved shooting investigations follow a similar pattern. A KQED review of the six completed investigations (two are still pending) between December 2010 and January 2016 shows no \"sustained\" complaints -- meaning the office found no fault on the part of officers involved and recommended no discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's office found officers were legally justified to use deadly force in five of those incidents. The DA's office did not investigate the 2010 shooting of Vinh Bui, according to a spokesman, because District Attorney George Gascón had recently been appointed to the post after serving as police chief and there could have been a conflict of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>S.F.

Most of the complaints result in admonishments or reprimands and maybe retraining. With that low level of discipline, officers are not being held accountable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The OCC’s officer-involved shooting investigations follow a similar pattern. A KQED review of the six completed investigations (two are still pending) between December 2010 and January 2016 shows no \"sustained\" complaints -- meaning the office found no fault on the part of officers involved and recommended no discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's office found officers were legally justified to use deadly force in five of those incidents. The DA's office did not investigate the 2010 shooting of Vinh Bui, according to a spokesman, because District Attorney George Gascón had recently been appointed to the post after serving as police chief and there could have been a conflict of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>S.F.

The beating occurred a short distance away at the corner of Stevenson and Clinton Park. Petrov suffered injuries, including a concussion, broken bones in both hands, a mild traumatic brain injury and deep cuts to his head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident came to light after San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi released surveillance video of the beating, calling for charges to be filed against the deputies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNTqcVKDafs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Michael Rains, who is representing Santamaria, said videos of police use of force are always disturbing -- but that doesn't mean the depicted use of force is illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the reality of police work today, when police force is captured people say, 'That looks terrible,' \" Rains said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rains said the deputies were \"very concerned\" that Petrov might have a weapon during the pursuit and arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>William Rapoport, who is representing Wieber, noted that unrelated federal gun and drug charges are pending against Petrov, who has an extensive criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the focus on these two is a little misplaced,\" Rapoport said of the deputies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi, who described the incident as one of the \"most savage beatings in the annals of police misconduct,\" said it appeared the defense would be that Petrov \"is a bad person.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we have to remember that in the American justice system, the police are not the judge and jury, it's not their job to decide who should be executed on the spot or who should be beaten,\" Adachi said. \"No matter who that was, they didn't deserve to be treated that way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Williams, a former homicide detective and use-of-force expert who attended Thursday's appearance with Adachi as an observer, called the surveillance video \"disgraceful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams noted that even after Petrov was under control and handcuffed, officers failed to call for an ambulance and at one point one of them placed a foot on his neck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It shows excessive force, it shows a callousness toward life, and policing isn't about that, shouldn't be about that,\" Williams said. \"The public should demand better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two deputies, who are on paid administrative leave, are out on bail. They appeared in court Thursday, wearing dark suits and tense expressions, but their attorneys won the court's permission for them to skip some future court dates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Sheriff Gregory Ahern has said that Santamaria and Wieber are also the subject of an internal affairs investigation that could result in termination or having their pay reduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post contains material reported by Bay City News. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But we also need someone who can enforce changes in terms of changing that culture, rooting out people who make homophobic and racist comments. And how do we select our officers, going all the way down to the bottom process in terms of recruitment or training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED:\u003c/strong> Is hiring the next police chief under these recent controversies make it harder for the commission to hire the best person for the job?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DeJesus:\u003c/strong> No. I think we owe it to the citizens to conduct a national search. I think we really need to find the best person for the job and not only someone who agrees with all the policy changes but that can actually implement the changes and get it done. And that means looking in house as well as looking outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED:\u003c/strong> What might the selection process look like? What role might the police union play in deciding who the next chief will be?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DeJesus:\u003c/strong> The way we've done it before, we (the commission) do the interviews and we send the names to the mayor and he selects it. I've been looking around and there are suggestions that maybe community members should participate. I don't know if that will go. Maybe perhaps the POA (Police Officer's Association) will have a say. It's something we have to talk about with the city attorney. Or maybe we get the finalist candidates and we have a meet and greet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED:\u003c/strong> What is your biggest concern about the next chief?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DeJesus:\u003c/strong> It's really trust.

What lessons have you learned that will be applied to the next chief?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DeJesus:\u003c/strong> We need someone who can embrace the policies that we're putting in place, embrace the body cameras. But we also need someone who can enforce changes in terms of changing that culture, rooting out people who make homophobic and racist comments. And how do we select our officers, going all the way down to the bottom process in terms of recruitment or training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED:\u003c/strong> Is hiring the next police chief under these recent controversies make it harder for the commission to hire the best person for the job?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DeJesus:\u003c/strong> No. I think we owe it to the citizens to conduct a national search. I think we really need to find the best person for the job and not only someone who agrees with all the policy changes but that can actually implement the changes and get it done. And that means looking in house as well as looking outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED:\u003c/strong> What might the selection process look like? What role might the police union play in deciding who the next chief will be?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DeJesus:\u003c/strong> The way we've done it before, we (the commission) do the interviews and we send the names to the mayor and he selects it. I've been looking around and there are suggestions that maybe community members should participate. I don't know if that will go. Maybe perhaps the POA (Police Officer's Association) will have a say. It's something we have to talk about with the city attorney. Or maybe we get the finalist candidates and we have a meet and greet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED:\u003c/strong> What is your biggest concern about the next chief?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DeJesus:\u003c/strong> It's really trust. It's coming down to re-establishing trust with the community and having transparency and having accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED:\u003c/strong> How soon would you like to see the new chief hired?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DeJesus:\u003c/strong> I'd like to see the new chief hired sooner than six months. I'm wondering if we can do this in a 60-day to 90-day period. I think it is possible.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
