Grady \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/article/oakland-council-gives-alan-bluefords-family-redacted-police-report-amid-protests\">attended the city council meeting\u003c/a> last night and provided a blow by blow of what occurred. Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OAKLAND LOCAL'S BARBARA GRADY\u003c/strong> Last night, as the City Council was getting ready to meet, a large number of people showed up. Some had marched from another place. Many were wearing tee shirts that said \"Justice for Alan Blueford.\" And there were supporters of the family who have been asking for information on his death and the circumstances that led to the police shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting started and most people were not allowed in the room. As soon as most of the seats were full on the ground floor, City Hall employees closed the doors and there was a lot of commotion and people upset about not being allowed in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council closed off the balcony and was not allowing people to sit up there. There appeared to still be a few seats on the ground floor but they were saying it was full and shutting out the remaining people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The people who came to this meeting said beforehand that their intention was to keep talking during the public comment period until their demands for information were answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public comment period started and a lot of people signed up to speak and asked for the same thing – information about the night of Alan Blueford's death. About 67 people signed up to speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speakers were kind of reasonable, but behind them was loud and boisterous chanting. So a speaker would be at the podium and behind them was a lot of 'no justice no peace.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Blueford's mother was the most moving. She said this is my baby, this is my son, he's not coming back. She wanted answers. It's hard to hear that. And she was upset that the council wasn't responding. The council isn't supposed to really answer during the public comment period. But she was saying this is my baby, he's gone, and you're just sitting there looking the other way not doing anything, because they were sitting there stone silent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, Jane Brunner spoke and said ,\"Well what about speakers who were kept out of the room? Can we let them back in?\" Because part of what they were chanting was that people were closed out of a public meeting. She broke the ice of councilmembers finally speaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting accelerated, more people speaking in louder voices and demanding language. It was like an hour and ten minutes into the meeting, and Larry Reid, the council president, suddenly stood up and in kind of a huff said okay, okay you can have my copy of the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He walked over holding this inch-thick document and handed it to Alan Blueford's father, who was speaking at that time. People were clearly surprised by that. He accepted it and was kind of silent, the crowd kept chanting, not realizing what had happened. Then people realized, that in essence that was what they werea asking for. So people kind of filed out after that, but not quietly.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the meeting, Grady reported, Alan Blueford's father said he wasn't satisfied with the release of the report because so much of it was redacted. John Burris, the family's attorney, said it was a good first step, but that he and the family need to see a final report.\n\n\u003c/p>\n",

Grady \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/article/oakland-council-gives-alan-bluefords-family-redacted-police-report-amid-protests\">attended the city council meeting\u003c/a> last night and provided a blow by blow of what occurred. Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OAKLAND LOCAL'S BARBARA GRADY\u003c/strong> Last night, as the City Council was getting ready to meet, a large number of people showed up. Some had marched from another place. Many were wearing tee shirts that said \"Justice for Alan Blueford.\" And there were supporters of the family who have been asking for information on his death and the circumstances that led to the police shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting started and most people were not allowed in the room. As soon as most of the seats were full on the ground floor, City Hall employees closed the doors and there was a lot of commotion and people upset about not being allowed in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council closed off the balcony and was not allowing people to sit up there. There appeared to still be a few seats on the ground floor but they were saying it was full and shutting out the remaining people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The people who came to this meeting said beforehand that their intention was to keep talking during the public comment period until their demands for information were answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public comment period started and a lot of people signed up to speak and asked for the same thing – information about the night of Alan Blueford's death. About 67 people signed up to speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speakers were kind of reasonable, but behind them was loud and boisterous chanting. So a speaker would be at the podium and behind them was a lot of 'no justice no peace.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Blueford's mother was the most moving. She said this is my baby, this is my son, he's not coming back. She wanted answers. It's hard to hear that. And she was upset that the council wasn't responding. The council isn't supposed to really answer during the public comment period. But she was saying this is my baby, he's gone, and you're just sitting there looking the other way not doing anything, because they were sitting there stone silent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, Jane Brunner spoke and said ,\"Well what about speakers who were kept out of the room? Can we let them back in?\" Because part of what they were chanting was that people were closed out of a public meeting. She broke the ice of councilmembers finally speaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting accelerated, more people speaking in louder voices and demanding language. It was like an hour and ten minutes into the meeting, and Larry Reid, the council president, suddenly stood up and in kind of a huff said okay, okay you can have my copy of the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He walked over holding this inch-thick document and handed it to Alan Blueford's father, who was speaking at that time. People were clearly surprised by that. He accepted it and was kind of silent, the crowd kept chanting, not realizing what had happened. Then people realized, that in essence that was what they werea asking for. So people kind of filed out after that, but not quietly.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A number of mental health associations in California — including the state’s Board of Behavorial Sciences, the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, and the California Psychological Association — supported the legislation, the Associated Press reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some organizations and ministries continue to use counseling and prayer to try to help conflicted Christians rid themselves of unwanted homosexual inclinations.

From Stockton, it’s about the same - 171 miles. But it’s a lot tougher for San Francisco residents to get to California’s inland wonders than it is for Stockton residents.

I love my neighborhood in Stockton.\u003c/strong> Since 2005 I’ve lived in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.stocktonmiraclemile.com/\">Miracle Mile\u003c/a>, a small enclave of boutiques, restaurants and older homes in the middle of the city. It’s a welcoming community where many of the the business owners are on a first-name basis with the residents. I can spend an afternoon shopping and an evening bar-hopping in the Mile and I’ll know most of the shop proprietors well enough to have friendly conversations. The neighborhood also is safe, and the residents and business owners help keep it that way. A few years back one of the landlords in the neighborhood helped chase down a purse snatcher and hold him until police arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Stockton is home to two top-notch minor league sports facilities.\u003c/strong> The city’s decision to spend more than $60 million on entertainment and sports facilities in recent years has been roundly criticized as Stockton has fallen into bankruptcy. But the money has helped give the city and its residents two minor-league sports jewels: the 10,000-seat \u003ca href=\"http://www.stocktonlive.com/venues/detail/stockton-arena\">Stockton Arena\u003c/a> and the 5,000-seat \u003ca href=\"http://www.milb.com/team1/page.jsp?ymd=20081120&content_id=482097&vkey=team1_t524&fext=.jsp&sid=t524\">Stockton Ballpark\u003c/a>. The arena is home to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.stocktonthunder.com/\">Stockton Thunder\u003c/a>, a minor-league hockey team that typically draws more than 6,000 fans per contest. It’s a great place to see a game - the facilities are modern, tickets are typically around $15 and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The ballpark, meanwhile, is home to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t524\">Stockton Ports\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.milb.com/team4/page.jsp?ymd=20090116&content_id=496988&vkey=team4_t524&fext=.jsp&sid=t524\">high single A\u003c/a> affiliate of the Oakland A’s. In 2005, the year it opened, the ballpark was included on Sports Illustrated’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050715/SPORTS/507150333\">“Summer Essentials”\u003c/a> list as the baseball stadium fans had to visit. It’s a gorgeous facility that gives fans an incredible view of baseball and beautiful sunsets over the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

Braden has said he’s leaving Stockton because he had been the victim of an attempted carjacking and that his grandmother's apartment was robbed. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kcra.com/news/local-news/news-stockton/Oakland-A-s-star-Braden-attends-Stockton-crime-meeting-with-bat/-/12969936/16758062/-/q2np49/-/index.html\">He also said \u003c/a>Stockton police advised him to move. That advice from the cops might drive any Stockton resident to put their home on the market.

From Stockton, it’s about the same - 171 miles. But it’s a lot tougher for San Francisco residents to get to California’s inland wonders than it is for Stockton residents.

I love my neighborhood in Stockton.\u003c/strong> Since 2005 I’ve lived in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.stocktonmiraclemile.com/\">Miracle Mile\u003c/a>, a small enclave of boutiques, restaurants and older homes in the middle of the city. It’s a welcoming community where many of the the business owners are on a first-name basis with the residents. I can spend an afternoon shopping and an evening bar-hopping in the Mile and I’ll know most of the shop proprietors well enough to have friendly conversations. The neighborhood also is safe, and the residents and business owners help keep it that way. A few years back one of the landlords in the neighborhood helped chase down a purse snatcher and hold him until police arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Stockton is home to two top-notch minor league sports facilities.\u003c/strong> The city’s decision to spend more than $60 million on entertainment and sports facilities in recent years has been roundly criticized as Stockton has fallen into bankruptcy. But the money has helped give the city and its residents two minor-league sports jewels: the 10,000-seat \u003ca href=\"http://www.stocktonlive.com/venues/detail/stockton-arena\">Stockton Arena\u003c/a> and the 5,000-seat \u003ca href=\"http://www.milb.com/team1/page.jsp?ymd=20081120&content_id=482097&vkey=team1_t524&fext=.jsp&sid=t524\">Stockton Ballpark\u003c/a>. The arena is home to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.stocktonthunder.com/\">Stockton Thunder\u003c/a>, a minor-league hockey team that typically draws more than 6,000 fans per contest. It’s a great place to see a game - the facilities are modern, tickets are typically around $15 and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The ballpark, meanwhile, is home to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t524\">Stockton Ports\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.milb.com/team4/page.jsp?ymd=20090116&content_id=496988&vkey=team4_t524&fext=.jsp&sid=t524\">high single A\u003c/a> affiliate of the Oakland A’s. In 2005, the year it opened, the ballpark was included on Sports Illustrated’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050715/SPORTS/507150333\">“Summer Essentials”\u003c/a> list as the baseball stadium fans had to visit. It’s a gorgeous facility that gives fans an incredible view of baseball and beautiful sunsets over the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Tickets on the park-like home run hill section can cost as little as $1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77056\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/ballpark.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-77056\" title=\"Stockton Ballpark.

Braden has said he’s leaving Stockton because he had been the victim of an attempted carjacking and that his grandmother's apartment was robbed. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kcra.com/news/local-news/news-stockton/Oakland-A-s-star-Braden-attends-Stockton-crime-meeting-with-bat/-/12969936/16758062/-/q2np49/-/index.html\">He also said \u003c/a>Stockton police advised him to move.

It recorded the Asian arrests as Chinese in its annual crime report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the 2010 census, Asians are the largest minority group in San Francisco, comprising a third of the population.

That’s the thing I’m really sorry about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recording most Asian arrestees as Chinese is just one of the data collection problems the department has faced. The Bay Citizen reported last month that for years the police department had been \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/08/14/sf-police-underreport-arrest-rates-for-latinos-asians/\">misreporting the race and ethnicity of many arrestees\u003c/a>, including classifying all Latinos as “white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police officials have blamed the inaccurate arrest data on a 40-year-old computer system that provides officers with only four categories: white, black, Chinese and other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whoever created that system – just having those four categories – I think that’s racist,” said Zheng of the Community Youth Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The misreporting, he said, likely led to a misallocation of city funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">In 2010 the SFPD reported 760 Chinese, one Japanese and nine Filipino arrests. When the department submitted its arrest data to state authorities, it informed them that the “Chinese” category included Asian arrestees of all ethnicities. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s not only the Chinese who are committing crimes and who are engaged in criminal activities,” he said. “You’re raising the crime rate for the Chinese population and minimizing the other population. Then you don’t necessarily get those resources because they think they don’t have any problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following The Bay Citizen articles, Chief Technology Officer Susan Giffin said the department wrote a computer code to convert all Chinese arrests to Asian in the data sent to Sacramento. She also told the Police Commission that the department would begin tracking and reporting the arrests of Hispanics and 17 other ethnicities, including white, black, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Suhr issued a departmentwide memo directing all officers to begin recording the race and ethnicity of everyone who is jailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to give a departmental report to this commission with the race reporting and the ethnicity reporting of all 18 ethnicities,” Suhr said. “For the city of San Francisco, this commission will know the race and ethnicity reporting of all the arrest data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department’s reporting practices have alarmed some city officials and civil rights advocates who view accurate data as a way to track use of police resources and hold the department accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of us were really shocked to learn about this issue considering we are in San Francisco, sort of part of the center of technology in the nation,” Micaela Davis, an attorney at the ACLU of Northern California, told the commission. “To learn that smaller counties in rural California have been reporting proper data and statistics on Hispanics, and we’re not because we don’t have the proper equipment was pretty shocking. I’m glad we’re paying attention to this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public defender Jeff Adachi applauded the department’s pledge to tally the race and ethnicity of arrestees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a positive development. It should have happened a long time ago,” he said in an interview. “Not having those arrest statistics, very basic information like that, is wrong.

That’s the thing I’m really sorry about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recording most Asian arrestees as Chinese is just one of the data collection problems the department has faced. The Bay Citizen reported last month that for years the police department had been \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/08/14/sf-police-underreport-arrest-rates-for-latinos-asians/\">misreporting the race and ethnicity of many arrestees\u003c/a>, including classifying all Latinos as “white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police officials have blamed the inaccurate arrest data on a 40-year-old computer system that provides officers with only four categories: white, black, Chinese and other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whoever created that system – just having those four categories – I think that’s racist,” said Zheng of the Community Youth Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The misreporting, he said, likely led to a misallocation of city funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">In 2010 the SFPD reported 760 Chinese, one Japanese and nine Filipino arrests. When the department submitted its arrest data to state authorities, it informed them that the “Chinese” category included Asian arrestees of all ethnicities. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s not only the Chinese who are committing crimes and who are engaged in criminal activities,” he said. “You’re raising the crime rate for the Chinese population and minimizing the other population. Then you don’t necessarily get those resources because they think they don’t have any problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following The Bay Citizen articles, Chief Technology Officer Susan Giffin said the department wrote a computer code to convert all Chinese arrests to Asian in the data sent to Sacramento. She also told the Police Commission that the department would begin tracking and reporting the arrests of Hispanics and 17 other ethnicities, including white, black, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Suhr issued a departmentwide memo directing all officers to begin recording the race and ethnicity of everyone who is jailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to give a departmental report to this commission with the race reporting and the ethnicity reporting of all 18 ethnicities,” Suhr said. “For the city of San Francisco, this commission will know the race and ethnicity reporting of all the arrest data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department’s reporting practices have alarmed some city officials and civil rights advocates who view accurate data as a way to track use of police resources and hold the department accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of us were really shocked to learn about this issue considering we are in San Francisco, sort of part of the center of technology in the nation,” Micaela Davis, an attorney at the ACLU of Northern California, told the commission. “To learn that smaller counties in rural California have been reporting proper data and statistics on Hispanics, and we’re not because we don’t have the proper equipment was pretty shocking. I’m glad we’re paying attention to this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public defender Jeff Adachi applauded the department’s pledge to tally the race and ethnicity of arrestees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a positive development. It should have happened a long time ago,” he said in an interview. “Not having those arrest statistics, very basic information like that, is wrong.
