There's also this: Anyone who \"willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's better to write the ballot title and summary because a court orders you to than to do it voluntarily,\" said Hasen. In other words, it's good politics to be able to say you tried to keep it off the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bay Area election lawyer \u003ca href=\"http://web.nmgovlaw.com/professionals/james-r-parrinello/\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Parrinello \u003c/a>said: Not so fast. At first, he was skeptical of legal maneuvers to keep the anti-gay measure off the ballot. \"I suppose I could cobble together a legal reasoning,\" Parrinello said, while adding he could more easily imagine a decision denying Harris' request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But upon further reflection, Parrinello thought Harris might have some legal ground to stand on. He cites two California cases where courts allowed local election officials to ignore local ballot measures submitted for title and summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One was a \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1010492.html\" target=\"_blank\"> 2006-08 case from Ojai, \u003c/a>where City Attorney Monte L. Widders did just what the California attorney general did this week -- ask for judicial permission relieving him of his duty to write the titles and summaries. In that instance, the proposals involved chain stores and affordable housing. The lower court denied Widders' request to ignore the measures, but an appellate court\u003cem> reversed\u003c/em> it in favor of the city attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1224446.html\" target=\"_blank\">other case \u003c/a>Parrinello cites is from 1996-99 in Shasta County. In that one, county counsel Karen Keating Jahr sought relief from writing the ballot title and summary of a measure allowing voters to adjust the salaries of Shasta County's Board of Supervisors. The trial court sided with Jahr's contention that she did not have to write a title and summary of a ballot measure that was clearly unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris' request is now before a Superior Court judge in Sacramento. No matter the outcome, it's unclear whether the Orange County attorney pushing the measure will be able to collect the necessary signatures to place it on the 2016 ballot. And even then, voters would not likely support it. And if they did, it would no doubt be declared unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isn't direct democracy grand?\u003c/p>\n\n",

In other words, it's good politics to be able to say you tried to keep it off the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bay Area election lawyer \u003ca href=\"http://web.nmgovlaw.com/professionals/james-r-parrinello/\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Parrinello \u003c/a>said: Not so fast. At first, he was skeptical of legal maneuvers to keep the anti-gay measure off the ballot. \"I suppose I could cobble together a legal reasoning,\" Parrinello said, while adding he could more easily imagine a decision denying Harris' request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But upon further reflection, Parrinello thought Harris might have some legal ground to stand on. He cites two California cases where courts allowed local election officials to ignore local ballot measures submitted for title and summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One was a \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1010492.html\" target=\"_blank\"> 2006-08 case from Ojai, \u003c/a>where City Attorney Monte L. Widders did just what the California attorney general did this week -- ask for judicial permission relieving him of his duty to write the titles and summaries. In that instance, the proposals involved chain stores and affordable housing. The lower court denied Widders' request to ignore the measures, but an appellate court\u003cem> reversed\u003c/em> it in favor of the city attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1224446.html\" target=\"_blank\">other case \u003c/a>Parrinello cites is from 1996-99 in Shasta County. In that one, county counsel Karen Keating Jahr sought relief from writing the ballot title and summary of a measure allowing voters to adjust the salaries of Shasta County's Board of Supervisors. The trial court sided with Jahr's contention that she did not have to write a title and summary of a ballot measure that was clearly unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris' request is now before a Superior Court judge in Sacramento. No matter the outcome, it's unclear whether the Orange County attorney pushing the measure will be able to collect the necessary signatures to place it on the 2016 ballot. And even then, voters would not likely support it. And if they did, it would no doubt be declared unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isn't direct democracy grand?\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Reynolds and Holder then shot Sheehan four times. With wounds in her torso and right arm, Sheehan fell to the ground but the officers’ attack continued.

The appellate court also found that officers may have violated the Fourth Amendment's prohibition of unreasonable search and seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[A] jury could find that the officers acted unreasonably by forcing the second entry and provoking a near-fatal confrontation,\" the 9th Circuit opinion says. \"We therefore cannot say that the second entry was reasonable as a matter of law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two national law enforcement organizations joined a \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/supreme_court_preview/BriefsV4/13-1412_amicus_pet_imla.authcheckdam.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">brief supporting San Francisco's appeal\u003c/a>.

The cities of San Jose and Davis each returned a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle, known as an MRAP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is this really what it takes to create a secure community?” asked Davis City Councilman Robb Davis, who voted to return the MRAP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you bring that symbol into a small town, into a community, and just say it has no other symbolic value, it’s just a tool? … I think there are things that are available to us for creating security that are available, but it’s not wise to use them,” Davis added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The actions taken in L.A., Davis and San Jose are part of the backlash to what’s being called the “militarization” of local police. It’s seen by some as the opposite of community policing — they say it distances local police from the citizens they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/assets/jus14-warcomeshome-report-web-rel1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ACLU found that most SWAT team raids across the country are related to drug\u003c/a>s — not active shooters, hostages or barricades — and that the heavily armed operations also disproportionately affect low-income people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ferguson has really sort of taken the wool over all of our eyes and really opened our eyes to just how widespread this phenomenon was,” said Will Matthews with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ACLU of Northern California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because a lot of the funding for this stuff is coming from the federal government, direct from federal grants from the Department of Homeland Security and other places,” Matthews added. “It’s allowing local law enforcement to sort of circumvent typical oversight mechanisms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A push to reform the Pentagon’s free weapons program is stalled in Washington. But in the California Assembly, Nora Campos (D-San Jose) \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/ab_36_bill_20141201_introduced.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is pushing legislation\u003c/a> that would force local governing agencies to follow a public process when they decide to acquire surplus military equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people that live in that community have the right to know what you are bringing into their neighborhoods and what it’s going to look like,” Campos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But transparency is only part of the issue. Even if individual towns decide to buck the trend, it won’t be easy to change law enforcement as a whole. When the Davis police decided to get rid of their armored vehicle, the feds quickly found another taker — \u003ca href=\"http://www.davisenterprise.com/local-news/davis-mrap-didnt-go-far-woodland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the town of Woodland\u003c/a>, only 10 miles away.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But in the California Assembly, Nora Campos (D-San Jose) \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/ab_36_bill_20141201_introduced.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is pushing legislation\u003c/a> that would force local governing agencies to follow a public process when they decide to acquire surplus military equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people that live in that community have the right to know what you are bringing into their neighborhoods and what it’s going to look like,” Campos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But transparency is only part of the issue. Even if individual towns decide to buck the trend, it won’t be easy to change law enforcement as a whole. When the Davis police decided to get rid of their armored vehicle, the feds quickly found another taker — \u003ca href=\"http://www.davisenterprise.com/local-news/davis-mrap-didnt-go-far-woodland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the town of Woodland\u003c/a>, only 10 miles away.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
