School district spokesman Troy Flint says Superintendent Antwan Wilson has spoken to Sanchez about the incident, but so far has taken no action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two security guards, Noil Angelo and Carlton Johnson, are on paid leave, pending the results of an inquiry being conducted by a private investigator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angelo has worked at Fremont High for many years and, according to several sources, is a well-respected figure on the campus, having served as the school’s baseball coach for several years. Neither he nor Johnson could be reached for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school district has its own police force, overseen by Chief Jeff Godown, a veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, the SFPD and the UCSF police force, who started in Oakland a little more than three months ago. The force is made up of about 84 school security officers, like those involved in this incident, and about 15 sworn police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godown said he pulled the file in the Rodriguez case a few weeks ago, when Cruz requested it. He immediately knew something wasn’t right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s troubling for me,” said Godown. “I didn’t see a reason [for the use of force.] I didn’t see a reason for him to be pushed in the back. I didn’t see a reason for him to be immediately turned around and choked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godown said multiple officers signed off on the use of force in this incident. Everyone from officers to school administrators will be investigated to see who knew about the video and when, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District spokesman Flint notes the school district police force is also reviewing five years' worth of complaints against school security officers to see if there are systemic flaws in the way officers treat students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Cruz represents two other Oakland students who have accused school security officers of abuse in Oakland. One videotaped incident last May involved Francisco Martinez, 17, a wheelchair-bound student. The officer in that case, Marchell Ernest Mitchell, was charged with felony corporal injury in a case reportedly set for trial next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about one stray officer. It’s a policy that goes all the way to the administration,” said Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Security camera footage shows him standing in the doorway of the school's office for about three minutes as people come and go. Then two security officers approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a brief conversation, one shoves Rodriguez from behind and the other puts him in a chokehold.

School district spokesman Troy Flint says Superintendent Antwan Wilson has spoken to Sanchez about the incident, but so far has taken no action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two security guards, Noil Angelo and Carlton Johnson, are on paid leave, pending the results of an inquiry being conducted by a private investigator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angelo has worked at Fremont High for many years and, according to several sources, is a well-respected figure on the campus, having served as the school’s baseball coach for several years. Neither he nor Johnson could be reached for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school district has its own police force, overseen by Chief Jeff Godown, a veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, the SFPD and the UCSF police force, who started in Oakland a little more than three months ago. The force is made up of about 84 school security officers, like those involved in this incident, and about 15 sworn police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godown said he pulled the file in the Rodriguez case a few weeks ago, when Cruz requested it. He immediately knew something wasn’t right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s troubling for me,” said Godown. “I didn’t see a reason [for the use of force.] I didn’t see a reason for him to be pushed in the back. I didn’t see a reason for him to be immediately turned around and choked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godown said multiple officers signed off on the use of force in this incident. Everyone from officers to school administrators will be investigated to see who knew about the video and when, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District spokesman Flint notes the school district police force is also reviewing five years' worth of complaints against school security officers to see if there are systemic flaws in the way officers treat students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Cruz represents two other Oakland students who have accused school security officers of abuse in Oakland. One videotaped incident last May involved Francisco Martinez, 17, a wheelchair-bound student. The officer in that case, Marchell Ernest Mitchell, was charged with felony corporal injury in a case reportedly set for trial next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about one stray officer. It’s a policy that goes all the way to the administration,” said Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

When government is for sale, we all suffer. These crimes initially surfaced as the result of a lengthy federal investigation, and authorities agree that this matter should be handled by local prosecutors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same press conference, FBI Special Agent in Charge David Johnson called public corruption \"the No.1 criminal priority for the FBI.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This type of criminal activity erodes public confidence, undermines the strength of our democracy, and if left unchecked threatens our government,\" Johnson said. \"It does not matter if the corruption is national or local in scope. It does not matter if it involves millions of dollars or merely hundreds. There is no level of acceptable corruption. The violation of trust is the same, as is the damage to the taxpayers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christine Falvey, Mayor Lee's spokeswoman, told KQED by email: \"Mayor Lee is deeply disturbed by the alleged criminal activities of Mr. Jackson, Ms. Jones and Ms. Mohajer and strongly condemns them. There is absolutely no place in San Francisco for this corruption, especially in City government, and Mayor Lee urges the District Attorney and City Attorney to pursue these charges to the fullest extent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lingering questions about this type of corruption pointing all the way to the top of San Francisco city government went unanswered during the recent federal criminal trial of Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the trial’s Jan. 8 conclusion, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/08/raymond-shrimp-boy-chow-guilty-on-all-162-counts-in-racketeering-murder-trial\" target=\"_blank\">finding Chow guilt\u003c/a>y on all 162 counts -- including racketeering and ordering the murders of two rivals -- also opened a window into potential “pay to play” politics in Lee’s administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chow’s defense had planned to introduce evidence pointing to shady campaign donations fronted by an undercover FBI agent and facilitated by Lee’s fundraisers. However, under federal Judge Charles Breyer’s orders, the players who surfaced in that separate thread of the investigation were never called to the witness stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These would have included an undercover FBI agent posing as a mob-connected Atlanta businessman using the alias “Michael Anthony King,” and Lee himself, who according to FBI documents received thousands of dollars in illicit contributions from “King” to retire campaign debt from his 2011 mayoral run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Chow’s jury did not hear the defense team's argument that the FBI \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Defense-FBI-agent-in-Leland-Yee-probe-pulled-off-5691164.php\">improperly stopped investigating Lee\u003c/a>, a KQED analysis of thousands of pages of court filings sheds new light on Lee’s alleged connection to illegal campaign donations from \"King\" in exchange for sweetheart housing development deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Undercover Agent Hired Keith Jackson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“King” began sending contributions to Lee after Keith Jackson, another key figure in the federal investigation, suggested it. Jackson was previously a fundraiser for Lee’s rival, state Sen. Leland Yee, in a competing mayoral campaign, and continued assisting Yee in his bid for secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jackson ended up playing for several sides. “King,” who claimed to be seeking business opportunities in San Francisco real estate, hired Jackson as a consultant. At the same time, Jackson also worked as a PR consultant for Lennar, a prominent real estate developer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson was indicted along with Chow in April 2014 and pleaded guilty to racketeering after originally facing a range of serious charges, including conspiracies to commit arms trafficking, narcotics trafficking and murder for hire. Yee was also indicted and pleaded guilty to racketeering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson started working for “King\" in February 2012. “Throughout his relationship with [‘King’], Mr. Jackson sought out legitimate business opportunities for [‘King’] to invest in pursuant to a $2,000 monthly consultancy agreement,” according to a court filing by Jackson’s attorney, James Brosnahan. “Among the efforts Mr. Jackson expended on [‘King’]’s behalf were … meetings with [redacted] officials about business and housing development in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lennar, Jackson’s other employer, is behind a massive mixed-use redevelopment project that will transform a large tract of land in San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>as well as a massive development project on Treasure Island.\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following Jackson's arrest in 2014, a Lennar spokesperson\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Keith-Jackson-emerges-as-major-figure-in-Calif-5368557.php\"> told reporters\u003c/a> that Jackson “did a very good job of helping educate residents of the Bayview about the shipyard project and providing feedback from the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson and “King” held numerous discussions about redevelopment projects and potential investment opportunities, court records show. In one recorded conversation, Jackson told “King” he’d been researching “how to make a profit from not-for-profit affordable housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a conversation recorded by the FBI on March 1, 2012, Jackson apparently was working to help \"King\" land development contracts with the city and urged “King” to donate $10,000 to Mayor Lee. (By law, the limit on individual campaign donations is $500.) On April 19, 2012, the FBI recorded Jackson requesting another $5,000 from “King” for Lee, along with an additional $5,000 after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As this affidavit notes, \"Before and after Jackson called UCE4773 (“King”) to solicit $10,000 for Mayor Lee, he used Target Telephone 1 four times to contact [name redacted]. On April 19, 2012, following a call from Jackson to (“King”) to request $5,000 for Mayor Lee, followed by another $5,000 for Mayor Lee, Jackson used Target Telephone 1 to contact [name redacted].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/296337237/content?start_page=51&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-KzjLRrRdh3c1TCdwcFac&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.7735849056603774\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_3985\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003cstrong>Checks Made Out to City Officials\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003c/em>“King’s” campaign donations to Lee were the subject of a now-infamous telephone conversation, which also took place March 1, 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that conversation, “King” spoke with former Human Rights Commission employee Zula Jones, a fundraiser for Lee.

We do it a little more sophisticated than New Yorkers.

When government is for sale, we all suffer. These crimes initially surfaced as the result of a lengthy federal investigation, and authorities agree that this matter should be handled by local prosecutors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same press conference, FBI Special Agent in Charge David Johnson called public corruption \"the No.1 criminal priority for the FBI.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This type of criminal activity erodes public confidence, undermines the strength of our democracy, and if left unchecked threatens our government,\" Johnson said. \"It does not matter if the corruption is national or local in scope. It does not matter if it involves millions of dollars or merely hundreds. There is no level of acceptable corruption. The violation of trust is the same, as is the damage to the taxpayers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christine Falvey, Mayor Lee's spokeswoman, told KQED by email: \"Mayor Lee is deeply disturbed by the alleged criminal activities of Mr. Jackson, Ms. Jones and Ms. Mohajer and strongly condemns them. There is absolutely no place in San Francisco for this corruption, especially in City government, and Mayor Lee urges the District Attorney and City Attorney to pursue these charges to the fullest extent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lingering questions about this type of corruption pointing all the way to the top of San Francisco city government went unanswered during the recent federal criminal trial of Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the trial’s Jan. 8 conclusion, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/08/raymond-shrimp-boy-chow-guilty-on-all-162-counts-in-racketeering-murder-trial\" target=\"_blank\">finding Chow guilt\u003c/a>y on all 162 counts -- including racketeering and ordering the murders of two rivals -- also opened a window into potential “pay to play” politics in Lee’s administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chow’s defense had planned to introduce evidence pointing to shady campaign donations fronted by an undercover FBI agent and facilitated by Lee’s fundraisers. However, under federal Judge Charles Breyer’s orders, the players who surfaced in that separate thread of the investigation were never called to the witness stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These would have included an undercover FBI agent posing as a mob-connected Atlanta businessman using the alias “Michael Anthony King,” and Lee himself, who according to FBI documents received thousands of dollars in illicit contributions from “King” to retire campaign debt from his 2011 mayoral run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Chow’s jury did not hear the defense team's argument that the FBI \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Defense-FBI-agent-in-Leland-Yee-probe-pulled-off-5691164.php\">improperly stopped investigating Lee\u003c/a>, a KQED analysis of thousands of pages of court filings sheds new light on Lee’s alleged connection to illegal campaign donations from \"King\" in exchange for sweetheart housing development deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Undercover Agent Hired Keith Jackson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“King” began sending contributions to Lee after Keith Jackson, another key figure in the federal investigation, suggested it. Jackson was previously a fundraiser for Lee’s rival, state Sen. Leland Yee, in a competing mayoral campaign, and continued assisting Yee in his bid for secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jackson ended up playing for several sides. “King,” who claimed to be seeking business opportunities in San Francisco real estate, hired Jackson as a consultant. At the same time, Jackson also worked as a PR consultant for Lennar, a prominent real estate developer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson was indicted along with Chow in April 2014 and pleaded guilty to racketeering after originally facing a range of serious charges, including conspiracies to commit arms trafficking, narcotics trafficking and murder for hire. Yee was also indicted and pleaded guilty to racketeering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson started working for “King\" in February 2012. “Throughout his relationship with [‘King’], Mr. Jackson sought out legitimate business opportunities for [‘King’] to invest in pursuant to a $2,000 monthly consultancy agreement,” according to a court filing by Jackson’s attorney, James Brosnahan. “Among the efforts Mr. Jackson expended on [‘King’]’s behalf were … meetings with [redacted] officials about business and housing development in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lennar, Jackson’s other employer, is behind a massive mixed-use redevelopment project that will transform a large tract of land in San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>as well as a massive development project on Treasure Island.\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following Jackson's arrest in 2014, a Lennar spokesperson\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Keith-Jackson-emerges-as-major-figure-in-Calif-5368557.php\"> told reporters\u003c/a> that Jackson “did a very good job of helping educate residents of the Bayview about the shipyard project and providing feedback from the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson and “King” held numerous discussions about redevelopment projects and potential investment opportunities, court records show. In one recorded conversation, Jackson told “King” he’d been researching “how to make a profit from not-for-profit affordable housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a conversation recorded by the FBI on March 1, 2012, Jackson apparently was working to help \"King\" land development contracts with the city and urged “King” to donate $10,000 to Mayor Lee. (By law, the limit on individual campaign donations is $500.) On April 19, 2012, the FBI recorded Jackson requesting another $5,000 from “King” for Lee, along with an additional $5,000 after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As this affidavit notes, \"Before and after Jackson called UCE4773 (“King”) to solicit $10,000 for Mayor Lee, he used Target Telephone 1 four times to contact [name redacted]. On April 19, 2012, following a call from Jackson to (“King”) to request $5,000 for Mayor Lee, followed by another $5,000 for Mayor Lee, Jackson used Target Telephone 1 to contact [name redacted].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/296337237/content?start_page=51&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-KzjLRrRdh3c1TCdwcFac&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.7735849056603774\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_3985\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003cstrong>Checks Made Out to City Officials\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003c/em>“King’s” campaign donations to Lee were the subject of a now-infamous telephone conversation, which also took place March 1, 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that conversation, “King” spoke with former Human Rights Commission employee Zula Jones, a fundraiser for Lee. According to an FBI wiretap transcript, Jones told “King”: “You pay to play here. We got it. We know this. We are the best at this game; uh, better than New York. We do it a little more sophisticated than New Yorkers. We do it without the Mafia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Jones was indicted, but not convicted, in 2000 for allegedly scheming to defraud the city’s minority contracting program.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the months following those conversations, “King” wrote out a series of checks.

They have urged those angered by the video to await the results of multiple ongoing investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three black SFPD officers who answered the POA's call to attend Wednesday's meeting addressed the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Have you ever held a mother in your arms while she cried uncontrollably, while her loved one was taken?\" Officer Shante Williams said, struggling to speak over the crowd's angry boos.
