He was suspended without pay for defying orders to quit the streets (and stop getting arrested) and tend to his pastoral duties. Of course, he thought his flock was everywhere on the streets.

They decided they'd blockade the morning commute, or at least part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Hogan, my uncle, along with maybe 30 compatriots from an anti-war group, climbed into a small fleet of cars and steered them into the eastbound lanes of Chicago's Eisenhower Expressway, the main commute route into downtown from the western suburbs. Once the cars were abreast of each other, they slowed to a stop. Then Bill and the other drivers got out, disabled the ignitions, and waited for the police to arrive. Well, in Bill's case, he'd tipped off a radio reporter, who arrived on the scene for a live interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, it was a protest virtually identical to the one that stopped Monday afternoon traffic on the westbound Bay Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the results?

Once the cars were abreast of each other, they slowed to a stop. Then Bill and the other drivers got out, disabled the ignitions, and waited for the police to arrive.

Aaron Ledford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A victim had been shot, the suspect had fled the area, ran out of the train, out of the station, and into the city of Oakland,\" Ledford said in an interview Sunday. \"Officers got to the scene along with medical aid, medical was rendered, CPR and first aid was rendered to the victim, but medical ended up pronouncing him deceased.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was described as an African-American man, 6 feet 3 inches tall, slim build, with a bald head, wearing a green hoodie-type jacket and carrying a backpack.

Riders who parked at West Oakland on Saturday before the shooting had to take AC transit buses to the station from the MacArthur and Lake Merritt stops to pick up their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The station reopened late Saturday night and it was open again Sunday morning as usual, BART spokesman Jim Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART investigators have pulled video from surveillance cameras in the train car where the shooting took place and from West Oakland Station, Ledford said, adding that police interviewed many witnesses who were on the train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting renews questions about the challenges of maintaining security on public transit, where passengers are essentially free to carry whatever they want, included loaded firearms, aboard trains, buses and ferries. Muni has been the scene of two such incidents in recent years, including last April's Tommy Clayton shooting.

BART is working with other agencies on security drills and new detection devices for various chemical or biological agents, Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He emphasized, though, that it's not possible to check every person who enters the system. \"Imagine having to show up at a station an hour before your train,\" Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because it's not practical for BART to check every passenger and bag entering the system, it is vital that we rely on our passengers to be our 'eyes and ears.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency encourages riders to report \"unusual activity\" through its \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/about/police/bartwatch\" target=\"_blank\">BARTWatch \u003c/a>app, by calling the agency's Police Department (510-464-7000) or by speaking directly to BART staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An autopsy is expected to be performed on the unidentified victim on Monday, according to the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"clarification\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Clarification:\u003c/strong> As originally published, this post paraphrased a statement from BART police about the nature of the fatal shooting Jan. 9, 2016.

"content": "\u003cp>Activists from San Francisco's Arab, South Asian and Muslim communities are reacting with angry disbelief to a Police Department report denying it violated a city ordinance governing local law enforcement participation in FBI counterterrorism investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Asian Law Caucus and the Council on American-Islamic Relations lodged a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/26/complaint-alleges-sfpd-oficer-broke-city-law-while-investigating-with-fbi/\" target=\"_blank\">formal complaint\u003c/a> last March detailing Google software engineer Sarmad Gilani's encounter with a San Francisco police inspector assigned to the FBI's \u003ca href=\"https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/terrorism/terrorism_jttfs\" target=\"_blank\">Joint Terrorism Task Force\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The groups allege that San Francisco police Inspector Gavin McEachern and an unidentified FBI agent contacted Gilani, who is Pakistani and Muslim, at work on June 4, 2014, and told him they were there to follow up on a Freedom of Information Act request Gilani had filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The groups' complaint said McEachern peppered Gilani with questions about his \"delusions of being persecuted,\" travel to the Middle East, \"what restaurants he eats at in Pakistan, where he visits, who he sees, etc.\" -- all in apparent violation of the 2012 \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/ordinances12/o0083-12.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Safe San Francisco Civil Rights Ordinance\u003c/a>. The law mandates local police working with the FBI follow state and city law, including a Police Department \u003ca href=\"http://www.sf-police.org/modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=24722\" target=\"_blank\">general order\u003c/a> requiring requests for investigations of \"First Amendment activities\" to be run up the chain of command and reported to the city's Police Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law was the result of years-long negotiations between the city and Arab-American and Muslim groups concerned they were being targeted by federal law enforcement for acts protected by the First Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CAIR attorney Brice Hamack told the Police Commission on Wednesday that Gilani's travel raised no reasonable suspicion, and he was targeted simply for being \"Muslim and Pakistani.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When he was approached by the SFPD officer in this case, he was asked solely about his constitutionally protected activity of religious practices, traveling association and the sort,\" Hamack said. He referenced the Police Department's annual report on counterterrorism activities last year, which contained no mention of Gilani's interrogation, despite city law and department policy that appear to require it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As far as we had heard, there was nothing wrong, nothing even remotely wrong,\" Hamack said. \"There were no indications that even approached violating the ordinance, yet that turned out to be false.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Lt.
