Plenty, according to organizer Alicia Garza. She lives in Oakland but is already in Ferguson prepping for this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This can't happen anymore,\" she said. \"There’s no way that we can continue to have unarmed black children be shot and killed in the streets in their communities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garza said fury over Brown's killing resonates with anger over recent officer-involved shootings in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Oakland in particular, many people are still outraged about the murder of Oscar Grant,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/oscar-grant/\" target=\"_blank\">fatal shooting of Grant\u003c/a> by BART police Officer \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/06/11/bart-cop-johannes-mehserle-to-testify-in-oscar-grant-lawsuit/\" target=\"_blank\">Johannes Mehserle\u003c/a> in 2009 sparked heated protests in Oakland and skirmishes with police that flared again when Mehserle was convicted of a lesser involuntary manslaughter charge, and again at his sentencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant's mother, Wanda Johnson, said she plans to go to Ferguson soon to support Michael Brown's family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I look at Oscar’s case and I look at Michael Brown’s case and see similarities,\" she said. \"First it’s taken this long to bring up any charge against the officer.

Then you go through a phase of demonizing the young man who was shot, same thing with Oscar.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black Lives Matter is seeking to change what the group says is a \"systemic pattern of anti-black law enforcement violence in the U.S.\" Other demands include disarming police of weapons handed down from the military, releasing the names of officers involved in killings, and redirecting law enforcement spending to impoverished African-American communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garza said the next steps for the group will likely be determined this weekend, but she hopes the message will spread out across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So that we make sure that places like Ferguson, Missouri, are not isolated from places like Oakland, California, or places like Chicago, Illinois,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for St. Louis County Police said law enforcement agencies in Ferguson are aware of the gathering planned for Labor Day weekend, but they're not commenting on what the police response may be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>St. Louis County arrest records list 218 bookings related to Ferguson protests between Brown's shooting on Aug. 9 and Aug. 23. The majority are misdemeanor refusal to disperse charges, with other arrests for burglary and possession of possible burglary tools, receiving stolen property, unlawful use of a weapon, trespassing, assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and outstanding warrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has been able to confirm that four of those arrested listed a California city of residence, and all four were for refusal to disperse. One is from San Francisco, one from Pasadena, one from Valencia and one from San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said despite the difficulty posed by looters and people seeking to commit other crimes, protesting killings by police is necessary, in the Bay Area and Ferguson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because of that, it was able to be brought to the public, and the public, seeing what happened, knew it was wrong and took action,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She was extremely fortunate because her smugglers treated her well.

A group of gang members began to follow her -- one on a bike, the others on foot. When she tried to run away, one man pulled out a gun and began shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer barely managed to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Yesenia found out by phone what had happened, she told Jennifer now was the time to get out of El Salvador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jennifer’s Journey\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearing this day would come, Yesenia had managed to save $6,000 and wired the money to a smuggler who -- several years ago -- brought one of their brothers to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a week later, that same coyote showed up to Jennifer’s house in a red car in the early morning.

She was extremely fortunate because her smugglers treated her well. She was even able to call Yesenia at several points along the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, it was on that last leg of the journey through Mexico when Yesenia lost all contact with Jennifer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Days went by and no call.

Her eyes are the same.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been almost a year since Jennifer made the journey to the U.S., and adapting to life in the Bay Area has its challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s among more than 900 unaccompanied minors who have been released to relatives or sponsors in Northern California since the beginning of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer now faces the hurdles of daily life -- from learning a new language to attending a public high school in San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I just hugged her and said, 'Thank God you’re here now!’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Right now her favorite class is art.

Attorneys for Refugio and Elvira Nieto say witnesses came forward to dispute the assertion that Nieto pointed a Taser stun gun at officers just before he was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crowd of about 150 marched from the site of Nieto's shooting to San Francisco's federal courthouse Friday. Protesters' chants referenced \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/15/missouri-shooting-anger-in-sf-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\">several controversial shootings\u003c/a> by Bay Area police and the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri that has recently dominated national news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nieto's death \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/03/30/130922/nieto-police-shooting-bernal-heights\" target=\"_blank\">sparked anger in San Francisco's Mission District\u003c/a>.

He said Nieto drew his Taser, which automatically emits a laser sight. Officers only shot after they noticed the red dot \"on them, tracking,\" Suhr said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They believed it to be a firearm, and they fired at Mr. Nieto,\" Suhr said. \"Mr. Nieto went to the ground. He assumed a prone position, again he acquired the dot, continued to track as other officers arrived.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr said at the time Nieto was prohibited from owning a firearm \"for mental health reasons,\" a statement also disputed by his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland-based attorneys John Burris and Adante Pointer are representing Nieto's parents. Pointer said sustained protests in the Mission District compelled witnesses to contact their office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The notion that he was waving a Taser, displaying a Taser, acting out violently with this Taser in any way toward the officers just flies in the face of what independent parties have come forward to say,\" Pointer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Potential witnesses are not named in the lawsuit.

He was told to stop and as he made a minor, minor move, he was shot multiple times.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr also mentioned a restraining order against Nieto allegedly stemming from a fight with a former friend in which Nieto had used his Taser. Supporters have said Nieto was pursuing his own restraining order in the matter. Pointer said the dispute appeared to be one \"between competing lovers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A stalled medical examiner's report on Nieto's death is compounding anger in the neighborhood. A spokesman for the office would only say that the examiner's investigation is pending and that no other agency has requested that the report be sealed. The spokesman declined to give any reason for the unfinished report, which generally would include a description of an autopsy's findings and results of a toxicology screening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's been five months, and the medical examiner has not finished their report — what does that smell like?\" Roberto Hernandez asked during the march. \"Because it's a brown young man, they don't care.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez and others wondered how the city attorney's office could have denied a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/14/family-of-man-slain-by-san-francisco-police-file-claim-against-the-city/\" target=\"_blank\">wrongful death claim filed against the city\u003c/a> in April without the medical examiner's findings. The claim was denied on May 27, according to city attorney spokesman Matt Dorsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Claimants can't sue for most causes of action without going through the claims process,\" Dorsey wrote in a statement to KQED. He said state law requires a claim to be filed before a lawsuit in most cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In many cases, when we know the claimant is really looking to pursue their legal challenge in court, we don't impede the court process by drawing out the claims stage,\" Dorsey wrote. \"Rather, we issue the denial so that the path is clear for the claimant to file suit and move along in the process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city attorney's office denied the claim 43 days after it was filed, two days before a deadline for the city set by state law. Dorsey said if a settlement was being negotiated, the city may wait to respond to a claim beyond 45 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"lawsuit\">\u003c/a>Read the lawsuit filed Friday below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Refugio Nieto and Elvira Nieto v.

Attorneys for Refugio and Elvira Nieto say witnesses came forward to dispute the assertion that Nieto pointed a Taser stun gun at officers just before he was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crowd of about 150 marched from the site of Nieto's shooting to San Francisco's federal courthouse Friday. Protesters' chants referenced \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/15/missouri-shooting-anger-in-sf-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\">several controversial shootings\u003c/a> by Bay Area police and the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri that has recently dominated national news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nieto's death \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/03/30/130922/nieto-police-shooting-bernal-heights\" target=\"_blank\">sparked anger in San Francisco's Mission District\u003c/a>.

He said Nieto drew his Taser, which automatically emits a laser sight. Officers only shot after they noticed the red dot \"on them, tracking,\" Suhr said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They believed it to be a firearm, and they fired at Mr. Nieto,\" Suhr said. \"Mr. Nieto went to the ground. He assumed a prone position, again he acquired the dot, continued to track as other officers arrived.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr said at the time Nieto was prohibited from owning a firearm \"for mental health reasons,\" a statement also disputed by his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland-based attorneys John Burris and Adante Pointer are representing Nieto's parents. Pointer said sustained protests in the Mission District compelled witnesses to contact their office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The notion that he was waving a Taser, displaying a Taser, acting out violently with this Taser in any way toward the officers just flies in the face of what independent parties have come forward to say,\" Pointer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Potential witnesses are not named in the lawsuit. Burris said their identities will be revealed to the city through the discovery process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the federal complaint:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"[T]he ear and eye witness’ revelations undermine SFPD’s claims. Based upon the witnesses’ accounts there, in fact, was no justification for this unwarranted use of deadly force as contrary to the Defendants’ claims, they did not hear Mr. Nieto threaten anyone or see him attempt to grab or point any object at the Officers prior to being shot.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Based on unnamed witness accounts, Burris said Nieto \"really never had a chance to do anything. He was told to stop and as he made a minor, minor move, he was shot multiple times.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr also mentioned a restraining order against Nieto allegedly stemming from a fight with a former friend in which Nieto had used his Taser. Supporters have said Nieto was pursuing his own restraining order in the matter. Pointer said the dispute appeared to be one \"between competing lovers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A stalled medical examiner's report on Nieto's death is compounding anger in the neighborhood. A spokesman for the office would only say that the examiner's investigation is pending and that no other agency has requested that the report be sealed. The spokesman declined to give any reason for the unfinished report, which generally would include a description of an autopsy's findings and results of a toxicology screening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's been five months, and the medical examiner has not finished their report — what does that smell like?\" Roberto Hernandez asked during the march. \"Because it's a brown young man, they don't care.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez and others wondered how the city attorney's office could have denied a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/14/family-of-man-slain-by-san-francisco-police-file-claim-against-the-city/\" target=\"_blank\">wrongful death claim filed against the city\u003c/a> in April without the medical examiner's findings. The claim was denied on May 27, according to city attorney spokesman Matt Dorsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Claimants can't sue for most causes of action without going through the claims process,\" Dorsey wrote in a statement to KQED. He said state law requires a claim to be filed before a lawsuit in most cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In many cases, when we know the claimant is really looking to pursue their legal challenge in court, we don't impede the court process by drawing out the claims stage,\" Dorsey wrote. \"Rather, we issue the denial so that the path is clear for the claimant to file suit and move along in the process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city attorney's office denied the claim 43 days after it was filed, two days before a deadline for the city set by state law. Dorsey said if a settlement was being negotiated, the city may wait to respond to a claim beyond 45 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"lawsuit\">\u003c/a>Read the lawsuit filed Friday below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Refugio Nieto and Elvira Nieto v.
