After the shooting, investigators discovered what they've characterized as three suicide notes on Hoffman's smartphone, one of which was titled, \"Dear Officer(s).\" Suhr said he spoke by phone with Hoffman's father, who gave permission to release the \"Dear Officer(s)\" message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The note expresses sadness and loneliness and says officers \"did nothing wrong.\" It says, \"I provoked you ... the situation was out of your control.

First, at about 2:15 p.m., Hoffman asked officers conducting a traffic stop about their firearms and if they had ever shot anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He approached a second pair of officers about an hour later and asked similar questions. Both times, officers told Hoffman to leave, Suhr said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then shortly after 5 p.m., a group of officers leaving Mission Station for coffee noticed Hoffman in the restricted parking lot and asked him to leave, and he started to walk away, Suhr said. But he stopped in the driveway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers began to approach Hoffman again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. Hoffman, instead of turning and walking away, backs away from the officers, both hands in his sweatshirt pocket, engaging the officers in eye contact to the point where the officers draw their weapons and ask Mr. Hoffman many times to show his hands,\" Suhr said. \"As he backs out of the driveway and across the sidewalk and into the street, he lifts his sweatshirt where the officers see the butt of a gun, pulls the weapon, points it at the officers, and the two sergeants fire their weapons a total of 10 times, five each, striking Mr. Hoffman three times -– one to the upper body, one to the forearm and one to the left leg.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers discovered Hoffman had a \"black Colt defender 3½-inch barrel airsoft pistol,\" a replica handgun with the orange markings blackened, Suhr said.

This was going to interpret what constitutes a credible threat.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Credible Threat\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court ruled that \"generally, the public has a right to know the identity of an officer involved in an on-duty shooting.\" But, the ruling says, \"We do not hold that the names of officers involved in shootings have to be disclosed in every case, regardless of the circumstances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The circumstances involve what the Supreme Court majority calls \"particularized,\" or specific, evidence that \"it is essential to protect an officer's anonymity for safety reasons or for reasons peculiar to the officer's duties.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Hastings law Professor David Levine said there have been very few, if any, cases that have tested the disclosure requirements laid out in the Long Beach decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the Nieto case is \"one of the first cases, if not the first case, to test the ruling in the Long Beach case, especially in the context that we’ve seen this heightened sensitivity in these police shooting cases.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That heightened sensitivity is not only to officer-involved shootings of suspects, Levine said, but is also affected by the slaying of two \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/12/26/373291959/wake-held-for-slain-nypd-officers\" target=\"_blank\">New York police officers\u003c/a> on Dec. 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD and the San Francisco city attorney argued they had a \"particularized showing\" in the Nieto shooting that warranted keeping the officers' names secret. Suhr described a threat made against the involved officers on a \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/justice4alexnieto/chief-greg-suhr-11122014-on-1010am-hecho-en-california\" target=\"_blank\">Spanish/English radio program in November\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was a credible threat against the officers involved in the Alejandro Nieto tragedy,\" Suhr said. \"We believe he had the capability of carrying out his threats because he’s a violent person. We need to eliminate the chance that he can harm the officers, and then we can put the officers' names out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr said on the program that the threat was made \"almost immediately after the shooting took place.\" When pressed, Suhr said, \"Our information right now is that he’s not even in this country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An SFPD spokesman confirmed via email today that \"it was a phone threat to the station directing the violence at the officers involved.\" The spokesman wrote that the suspect is still believed to be abroad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How are you going to say these are credible threats when this person isn’t even in the damn country?\" Pointer said. \"If that’s the precedent, any whacko could make a threat, and the police could say this guy made a threat two years ago, and we don’t have to release the information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Judge Rules for Plaintiffs\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins ruled against the city and set Jan. 5 as the date a protective order blocking the release of the officers' names would expire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2014/12/court-says-city-must-reveal-officer-names-in-nieto-shooting/\" target=\"_blank\">Mission Local covered\u003c/a> the Dec. 22 discovery hearing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Cousins said that without a more straightforward timeline for the threats to be resolved, the anonymity could continue indefinitely, making it prudent to set a date for the protective order to expire since it limits the plaintiff’s ability to investigate the case.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Levine said in light of the Long Beach ruling, it'd be difficult to reach another conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The case comes down so strongly in favor of disclosure, I can see why the magistrate would reach that conclusion,\" he said. \"Unless you thought that it was both credible and imminent, meaning in a pretty short time frame, the values of disclosure that the Long Beach case expresses are going to outweigh the vagueness of a less credible threat. But if you’re wrong, and then the name is released, and within a relatively short period of time, we find ourselves with another officer murdered, that’s a really tough decision for a judge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Sean McGrier contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And the courts need to reflect the diversity in any society,” said Chris Arriola, supervising deputy district attorney for Santa Clara County’s juvenile justice unit. “So the fact it’s taken 164 years to get a minority (presiding) judge does seem like quite a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pichon, 62, said she got to the top of her legal career by taking chances outside her comfort zone and learning how to deal with obstacles tied to her race. Today she brings to her new position a lifelong understanding of race relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having lived when I lived gives a person a great understanding of how people feel, how they feel when there’s only one of them in a group,” said Pichon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that they can feel powerless and some can abuse their power. … It’s given me the courage at this point of my life to make sure people are treated fairly.

(Courtesy Rise Jones Pichon)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pichon grew up in the segregated South, where her great-great grandmothers were slaves and “colored only” signs were posted in public places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The signs were still on the bus, you know, that you sat behind. The signs were still on the water fountains and the restrooms. It wasn’t anything that made me sad. It was just the way it was,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She developed a way of dealing with these obstacles that has stayed with her. A good example is what happened at her high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, when it was the third year that African-American students were allowed to attend classes. She wanted to play in the band but was forced to play the baritone horn instead of the instrument she chose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really wanted to play the French horn. But the instructor said that my lips were too big so I couldn’t play a French horn,” said Pichon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of talking back to the instructor, Pichon said she excelled at the baritone horn. From then on, excelling became her way of navigating around the barriers of racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there were plenty more to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest shock was when she moved to San Jose with her family in 1969. When they bought a home, a number of the houses on the block immediately went up for sale. Coming from the South, Pichon expected California to be the land of golden racial equality. That was not the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And my brothers, on their way to the corner to the elementary school to play basketball, would be stopped by the police,” Pichon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10394469\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo2.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10394469\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo2-400x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Pichon graduated from Santa Clara University in 1972.

(Courtesy Rise Jones Pichon)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pichon grew up in the segregated South, where her great-great grandmothers were slaves and “colored only” signs were posted in public places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The signs were still on the bus, you know, that you sat behind. The signs were still on the water fountains and the restrooms. It wasn’t anything that made me sad. It was just the way it was,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She developed a way of dealing with these obstacles that has stayed with her. A good example is what happened at her high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, when it was the third year that African-American students were allowed to attend classes. She wanted to play in the band but was forced to play the baritone horn instead of the instrument she chose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really wanted to play the French horn. But the instructor said that my lips were too big so I couldn’t play a French horn,” said Pichon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of talking back to the instructor, Pichon said she excelled at the baritone horn. From then on, excelling became her way of navigating around the barriers of racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there were plenty more to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest shock was when she moved to San Jose with her family in 1969. When they bought a home, a number of the houses on the block immediately went up for sale. Coming from the South, Pichon expected California to be the land of golden racial equality. That was not the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And my brothers, on their way to the corner to the elementary school to play basketball, would be stopped by the police,” Pichon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10394469\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo2.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10394469\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo2-400x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Pichon graduated from Santa Clara University in 1972.

And for the past 12 years, she says her work as a housekeeper means she drives a lot, every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new license that Monica hopes to get isn’t going to look like an ordinary license.

Over the past month, one was struck in the head by a baton-wielding Berkeley police officer, another had his camera damaged when a California Highway Patrol officer swung a baton at him, and a third found himself face-to-face with an undercover CHP officer who pulled his gun in the middle of a crowd of protesters. (The National Press Photographers Association and the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists \u003ca href=\"http://www.spjnorcal.org/new/2014/12/08/open-letter-spj-norcal-responds-to-reports-of-police-force-used-on-journalists-in-berkeley/\" target=\"_blank\">have both condemned\u003c/a> assaults on members of the media.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professional photojournalists are at a disadvantage in turbulent street events. They carry heavy gear that puts them off balance, and when they're shooting, their peripheral vision is blocked. They can become targets, too, because they're carrying equipment that's expensive and easy to steal. And beyond all that, they know the adage from Robert Capa, the famed war photographer \u003ca href=\"http://www.slightly-out-of-focus.com/robert_capa_death.html\">killed in Vietnam in 1954\u003c/a>: \"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote\">'That’s our role -- to try to document what happens.

Chronicle director of photography\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Walgren says her staff is \"committed to covering this and want to be there and want to document an historic situation happening here in the Bay Area right now.\" But she says coverage is complicated by the nature of what they're seeing in Oakland:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I actually include the staff in the discussions. They are adamant about continuing to cover this. They do not want this rogue element -- they really believe that these are the rogue elements, the people who are trying to intimidate the photographers from the quote-unquote “protester” side -- they do not want them to feel like they’ve actually succeeded in quote-unquote “scaring off” the photographers, so I have to respect that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the same hand, we’ve got to set up the right way to cover this so that we can be as safe as possible. So I no longer want to see images between protesters or the rogue element people and the law enforcement agencies. I’m more interested in the people that are really out there to protest the death of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, because we can always go back the next morning to cover the aftermath of the looting and the burning and all that.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's a conversation likely taking place in other newsrooms.

Over the past month, one was struck in the head by a baton-wielding Berkeley police officer, another had his camera damaged when a California Highway Patrol officer swung a baton at him, and a third found himself face-to-face with an undercover CHP officer who pulled his gun in the middle of a crowd of protesters. (The National Press Photographers Association and the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists \u003ca href=\"http://www.spjnorcal.org/new/2014/12/08/open-letter-spj-norcal-responds-to-reports-of-police-force-used-on-journalists-in-berkeley/\" target=\"_blank\">have both condemned\u003c/a> assaults on members of the media.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professional photojournalists are at a disadvantage in turbulent street events. They carry heavy gear that puts them off balance, and when they're shooting, their peripheral vision is blocked. They can become targets, too, because they're carrying equipment that's expensive and easy to steal. And beyond all that, they know the adage from Robert Capa, the famed war photographer \u003ca href=\"http://www.slightly-out-of-focus.com/robert_capa_death.html\">killed in Vietnam in 1954\u003c/a>: \"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote\">'That’s our role -- to try to document what happens.

So I no longer want to see images between protesters or the rogue element people and the law enforcement agencies.

It’s very calm, I just can’t believe it,” said Tinajero, 37, who now enjoys frequent walks in the evenings near her house when she mingles with neighbors. “You don’t see groups of teenagers hanging around, with nothing to do. Instead, I see more people in their 20s and 30s walking their dogs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other residents said they also felt safer, and police data show why. While all of Menlo Park’s 44 shootings — including three murders — since 2011 were in Belle Haven or within a mile radius, remarkably, no violent gun incidents have occurred there this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The drop in violent crime points to a public safety shift that’s characterizing a vast transformation of the area. Menlo Park’s historically most-dangerous neighborhood east of Highway 101 has fewer discarded couches and TVs littering sidewalks. A new community garden opened at a lot that used to be overgrown by weeds. At Facebook’s second campus being built along the Bayfront Expressway, cranes soar above the nearly finished 433,550-square-foot building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social media giant’s move to the area in 2011 — along with simmering community anger over shootings — prompted the city to put a fresh focus on the long-neglected neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For so many years, people ignored this area of town, and now people are looking at it and figuring out how we can improve it for everybody,” said Menlo Park Mayor Ray Mueller at the opening of the new community garden last month. “We have an amazing opportunity to transform the neighborhood in this renewal. This garden is symbolic of the effort that is taking place in Belle Haven right now being led by the residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2012, the city has invested $338,000 to help youth stay in schools and out of gangs, and to organize neighborhood watch groups to improve public safety and get rid of blight. Facebook contributed over $365,000 this year toward the opening of the Belle Haven neighborhood services center and police substation in April, and the hiring of an officer dedicated to keeping youth out of the criminal justice system. The company pledged an additional $400,000 to continue paying Officer Mary Ferguson’s salary for the next two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10387434\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/Cranes_lift_boxes_and_trees-1024x767.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10387434\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/Cranes_lift_boxes_and_trees-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"Crews build Facebook’s second campus in Belle Haven, as pictured on Dec. 8, 2014.

Instead, she teaches life skills to teenagers, and connects students who miss school with local counseling and other resources.

But her biggest concern is families living in illegally converted garages. Most of these structures, which rent for $500 to over $1,000, are located in Belle Haven and are unsafe, says Hilario. They are also a reminder of the struggles of low-income residents in the area even as safety improves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no insulation, no ventilation, so it can get pretty cold and stuffy in there,” said Hilario, who hears about illegally converted garages every day. “A lot of people living there are probably undocumented workers and cannot afford other housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During inspections, Hilario usually finds a family of five cramped in a moldy room with shoddy bathrooms.

But her biggest concern is families living in illegally converted garages. Most of these structures, which rent for $500 to over $1,000, are located in Belle Haven and are unsafe, says Hilario. They are also a reminder of the struggles of low-income residents in the area even as safety improves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no insulation, no ventilation, so it can get pretty cold and stuffy in there,” said Hilario, who hears about illegally converted garages every day. “A lot of people living there are probably undocumented workers and cannot afford other housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During inspections, Hilario usually finds a family of five cramped in a moldy room with shoddy bathrooms. Extension cords form multiple chains on the floor, a potential fire hazard.
