She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Upon learning of these alleged incidents, we took immediate action by suspending the accused individuals, retaining an independent third party to investigate the claims, following up with the employees on their wellbeing, and subsequently terminating the accused individuals immediately after our investigation concluded. We take any claim of sexual harassment very seriously and remain committed to providing a safe workplace for all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

More information will be coming,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes the guaranteed income program, of which no information was yet available. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $120 million in funding, Owens noted, will go to a combination of new and existing programs, mostly based in historically Black communities in the city, including Bayview-Hunters Point, the Western Addition and the Tenderloin. One such program, she said, is intended to connect some 400 Black children and their families to case management services. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Really, the vision of the Dream Keeper Initiative is helping the full range — from children to their parents to their grandparents — and really providing holistic comprehensive services,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact of the first round of investments will inform how the remaining $60 million will be spent next year, according to the mayor's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So this is what we got from the community and these are the investments that we want to make now into the community,\" Breed said. \"And we want to measure those investments to see if the outcomes of African Americans change as a result of these types of investments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"defund-the-police\"]Black people make up only about 5% of San Francisco’s population — a proportion that has consistently decreased in the last 50 years — but make up \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/San-Francisco-plans-to-redirect-120-million-from-15447811.php\">nearly 40% of its homeless residents\u003c/a>.

I've had to live in poverty over 20 years of my life. And the frustration that came from living like that and then seeing so many of my friends who had been killed or in jail or on drugs — that is my motivation,\" Breed said. \"Because just imagine if we can change the outcome of African Americans in San Francisco. What an incredible thriving city we truly will be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spending plan comes nearly seven months after Breed and Board of Supervisors President Shamann Walton \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831527/sf-mayor-breeds-new-budget-would-redirect-120-million-from-police-to-citys-black-community\">floated the idea\u003c/a> as part of the mayor's nearly $14 billion budget proposal for this fiscal year — a version of which \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/supes-approve-13-6b-city-budget-in-a-10-1-vote/\">was passed by supervisors\u003c/a> in September. Breed has billed the city's transfer of funds from law enforcement agencies as a necessary reparation for city policies that she says led to “decades of disinvestment” in Black communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This initial investment to improve outcomes for the Black community and overturn years of disinvestment and inequitable resource distribution is just the first step in righting the wrongs of history,” Walton said in \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-london-breed-announces-spending-plan-historic-reinvestment-san-franciscos-african\">a statement\u003c/a>. “We now have to continue to prioritize communities that have never had a chance to build true wealth and this is a first step towards true reparations for the Black community here in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for the initiative comes from roughly $80 million in cuts, over two years, from the San Francisco Police Department, reducing its nearly\u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/sites/default/files/CSF_Budget_Book_June_2019_Final_Web_REV2.pdf\"> $700 million annual budget\u003c/a> by almost 6%. The remaining $40 million is from Sheriff's Department cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move is in large part a response to the huge, prolonged demonstrations — in San Francisco and around the world — following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, and amid growing calls to shift resources away from law enforcement. In June, Breed also directed the Police Department to no longer\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\"> respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a> and to revise its accountability practices and stop using military-grade equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When first announced last summer, the heads of both of law enforcement departments expressed initial, if measured, support for the cuts, most of which would come from not filling vacant positions and reducing overtime expenditures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew there would be pain and sacrifice associated with these budget cuts, but we also know they're necessary to fulfill the promise of Mayor Breed's and Sup. Walton's reinvestment initiative to support racial equality,” San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said in a statement in July. “While the cuts are significant, they are cuts we can absorb and that will not diminish our ability to provide essential services.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

With more than 3,600 confirmed cases among prisoners and staff members, the facility tops the list of the country’s largest COVID-19 clusters in prisons compiled by \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html\">The New York Times\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://uclacovidbehindbars.org/\">UCLA COVID-19 Behind Bars Data Project\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calling the prison system’s response to the pandemic “nonchalant,” “incompetent” and at times “negligent,” Welker and his fellow inmates described a crowded and dangerous living situation. Inmates interviewed by Valley Public Radio said physical distancing was nearly impossible, and constant moves in and out of quarantine were confusing and disruptive. The postponement of visits and rehabilitative programs left the men with little opportunity to vent their frustrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s chaos over here, man,” said John Walker, 50, an inmate interviewed via the prison system’s collect-calling service during the fall surge in cases. “That’s why the mental health program’s blowing up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar grievances have been voiced by prisoners across the country, who have contracted the virus at a rate more than three times that of the general population, according to \u003ca href=\"http://themarshallproject.org/2020/12/18/1-in-5-prisoners-in-the-u-s-has-had-covid-19\">an analysis\u003c/a> by The Associated Press and The Marshall Project, a nonprofit newsroom dedicated to the U.S. criminal justice system.

Dana Simas, press secretary at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, wrote in an email that state and Avenal officials “are continuously working with public health and health care experts to address this unprecedented pandemic and protect those who live and work in our state prisons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The virus continues to devastate prison populations and employees. Despite a dramatic drop in new infections since the holidays, more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2020/05/01/a-state-by-state-look-at-coronavirus-in-prisons\">15,000 inmates\u003c/a> nationwide have contracted the virus in the past three weeks, according to The Marshall Project. California’s facilities serve as a case study in which outbreaks recur while prison advocates argue that officials failed to enact a critical precaution: relieving overcrowding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There has not been the political will to do what’s necessary to keep people safe, which is to dramatically reduce prison and jail populations,” said \u003ca href=\"https://law.ucla.edu/faculty/faculty-profiles/aaron-littman\">Aaron Littman\u003c/a>, a teaching fellow at UCLA School of Law and deputy director of the COVID-19 Behind Bars Data Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in the pandemic, corrections agencies across the country put in place measures to prevent outbreaks, mandating masks and physical distancing, setting aside housing units specifically for quarantined inmates, and establishing testing protocols for staffers and the incarcerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The measures are important, the measures help … but those are not sufficient,” said Littman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horrific errors occurred. In late May, for instance, a transfer of a handful of inmates later discovered to have been COVID-positive sparked an outbreak that killed 29 people and infected 2,600 others at San Quentin State Prison in Northern California.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11843335\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/1920_Avenal-1020x574.jpg\"]\u003cbr>\nDecision-makers disagree about what’s safe. At Avenal, as in all of California’s prisons, labor contracts permit guards to work different shifts in different buildings, despite the fact that many academic experts and \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/correction-detention/guidance-correctional-detention.html\">the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discourage the practice\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public health director of Kings County, where Avenal is located, tried to order the prison to temporarily freeze staff assignments in May, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/post/avenal-s-prison-labor-contract-allows-actions-cdc-and-kings-county-warned-could-spread-covid-19#stream/0\">the state prison authority politely informed him the county has no jurisdiction over a state-run facility\u003c/a>. “The response to us was, ‘Well, because of labor agreements, we can’t do that,’ ” said Kings County Supervisor Craig Pedersen. “It was one of the most frustrating interactions we had, I think, in this process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workplace culture may also undermine well-intentioned precautions. In a review published in October, California’s Office of the Inspector General, the state prison watchdog, \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/OIG-COVID-19-Review-Series-Part-2-%E2%80%93-Face-Coverings-and-PPE.pdf\">reported that staff members failed to properly wear masks at two-thirds of the prisons it inspected\u003c/a>. The report concluded lax enforcement was to blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, like Littman, many advocates and academics say preventive measures can accomplish little in such tightly packed environments. “Our review of the evidence indicates that relieving population pressures in jails, prisons, and detention centers greatly facilitates adherence to CDC guidelines, controlling COVID-19 outbreaks, and reducing health risks, particularly for medically vulnerable people,” members of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25945/decarcerating-correctional-facilities-during-covid-19-advancing-health-equity-and\">National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine\u003c/a> wrote in an October report. “Smaller populations make it easier for correctional officials to place individuals in single cells, have sufficient resources for testing, and safely quarantine individuals after exposure to an infected person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11862104\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11862104\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Protesters gather outside Avenal State Prison on June 6, 2020.

With more than 3,600 confirmed cases among prisoners and staff members, the facility tops the list of the country’s largest COVID-19 clusters in prisons compiled by \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html\">The New York Times\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://uclacovidbehindbars.org/\">UCLA COVID-19 Behind Bars Data Project\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calling the prison system’s response to the pandemic “nonchalant,” “incompetent” and at times “negligent,” Welker and his fellow inmates described a crowded and dangerous living situation. Inmates interviewed by Valley Public Radio said physical distancing was nearly impossible, and constant moves in and out of quarantine were confusing and disruptive. The postponement of visits and rehabilitative programs left the men with little opportunity to vent their frustrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s chaos over here, man,” said John Walker, 50, an inmate interviewed via the prison system’s collect-calling service during the fall surge in cases. “That’s why the mental health program’s blowing up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar grievances have been voiced by prisoners across the country, who have contracted the virus at a rate more than three times that of the general population, according to \u003ca href=\"http://themarshallproject.org/2020/12/18/1-in-5-prisoners-in-the-u-s-has-had-covid-19\">an analysis\u003c/a> by The Associated Press and The Marshall Project, a nonprofit newsroom dedicated to the U.S. criminal justice system.

Dana Simas, press secretary at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, wrote in an email that state and Avenal officials “are continuously working with public health and health care experts to address this unprecedented pandemic and protect those who live and work in our state prisons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The virus continues to devastate prison populations and employees. Despite a dramatic drop in new infections since the holidays, more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2020/05/01/a-state-by-state-look-at-coronavirus-in-prisons\">15,000 inmates\u003c/a> nationwide have contracted the virus in the past three weeks, according to The Marshall Project. California’s facilities serve as a case study in which outbreaks recur while prison advocates argue that officials failed to enact a critical precaution: relieving overcrowding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There has not been the political will to do what’s necessary to keep people safe, which is to dramatically reduce prison and jail populations,” said \u003ca href=\"https://law.ucla.edu/faculty/faculty-profiles/aaron-littman\">Aaron Littman\u003c/a>, a teaching fellow at UCLA School of Law and deputy director of the COVID-19 Behind Bars Data Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in the pandemic, corrections agencies across the country put in place measures to prevent outbreaks, mandating masks and physical distancing, setting aside housing units specifically for quarantined inmates, and establishing testing protocols for staffers and the incarcerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The measures are important, the measures help … but those are not sufficient,” said Littman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horrific errors occurred. In late May, for instance, a transfer of a handful of inmates later discovered to have been COVID-positive sparked an outbreak that killed 29 people and infected 2,600 others at San Quentin State Prison in Northern California.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At Avenal, as in all of California’s prisons, labor contracts permit guards to work different shifts in different buildings, despite the fact that many academic experts and \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/correction-detention/guidance-correctional-detention.html\">the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discourage the practice\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public health director of Kings County, where Avenal is located, tried to order the prison to temporarily freeze staff assignments in May, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/post/avenal-s-prison-labor-contract-allows-actions-cdc-and-kings-county-warned-could-spread-covid-19#stream/0\">the state prison authority politely informed him the county has no jurisdiction over a state-run facility\u003c/a>. “The response to us was, ‘Well, because of labor agreements, we can’t do that,’ ” said Kings County Supervisor Craig Pedersen. “It was one of the most frustrating interactions we had, I think, in this process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workplace culture may also undermine well-intentioned precautions. In a review published in October, California’s Office of the Inspector General, the state prison watchdog, \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/OIG-COVID-19-Review-Series-Part-2-%E2%80%93-Face-Coverings-and-PPE.pdf\">reported that staff members failed to properly wear masks at two-thirds of the prisons it inspected\u003c/a>. The report concluded lax enforcement was to blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, like Littman, many advocates and academics say preventive measures can accomplish little in such tightly packed environments. “Our review of the evidence indicates that relieving population pressures in jails, prisons, and detention centers greatly facilitates adherence to CDC guidelines, controlling COVID-19 outbreaks, and reducing health risks, particularly for medically vulnerable people,” members of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25945/decarcerating-correctional-facilities-during-covid-19-advancing-health-equity-and\">National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine\u003c/a> wrote in an October report. “Smaller populations make it easier for correctional officials to place individuals in single cells, have sufficient resources for testing, and safely quarantine individuals after exposure to an infected person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11862104\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11862104\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Avenal_protest-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Protesters gather outside Avenal State Prison on June 6, 2020.

California’s prisons were stuffed with an average of 30% more inmates than they were designed to house. Avenal’s occupancy was nearly 50% beyond capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since March, the state corrections department has granted early releases to 19,000 inmates due to medical and other circumstances, but a federal judge argued it hasn’t been enough. “I have cajoled, begged and pleaded with the governor and the secretary to release a very significantly higher number of inmates beyond their current release efforts,” U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar said during a January hearing for an ongoing court case regarding medical care within the state’s prisons. “With all appreciation for the efforts they have made, those requests have fallen on deaf ears.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just the incarcerated who are contracting COVID-19 at alarming rates.

Johnson was instrumental in pushing for passage of Senate Bill 1421, the state’s “Right to Know Act,” which went into effect on Jan. 1, 2019.[aside postID=\"news_11854829,news_11823616,news_11717416\" label=\"Oscar Grant\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/oscar-grant\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to news organization requests in April 2019, BART released a decade-old report on the Grant case produced by a law firm hired to investigate the shooting. The document \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11744106/bart-releases-report-with-new-details-of-officers-roles-in-oscar-grant-killing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disclosed new details\u003c/a> in a case that had rocked the Bay Area, led to a criminal homicide conviction of a BART officer and triggered widespread protests against police violence that were a forerunner of the Black Lives Matter movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report cast doubt on former BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle’s account of the shooting at his murder trial in Los Angeles: that he had intended to draw his Taser, not his service firearm, before shooting Grant in the back as he lay face down on a Fruitvale BART Station platform on Jan. 1, 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5984249-OSCAR-GRANT-IA09A002-Final-Report-Internal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report\u003c/a> also found that the “willful and reckless conduct” of another former officer, Anthony Pirone, “started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.” Among other findings, the document said Pirone lied repeatedly to investigators, that he punched Grant and kneed him in the face without provocation and that he used a racial epithet during the confrontation with Grant and other men he had detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They [BART] knew this all that time,” Johnson said. “If they knew this for the past 11 years, then all the other details of what we don’t know … they will not tell us unless they’re forced to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report released in 2019 references many more files related to the Grant shooting that have never been made public, including audio files of dozens of interviews with witnesses and responding officers, including Pirone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The videotaped killing of Oscar Grant shocked our society and forced us to confront police violence in a new way,” said Ethan Toven-Lindsey, KQED’s executive editor of news. “And yet, law enforcement agencies including BART’s police force continue to block access to documents that are of critical public interest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley announced in October that her office was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841062/alameda-da-reopens-investigation-into-oscar-grant-killing-nearly-12-years-later\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reopening the criminal investigation\u003c/a> into Grant’s death, prompted by his family’s requests that prosecutors reinvestigate charges against Pirone. She \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11854829/crying-out-for-justice-oscar-grants-family-vows-to-keep-fighting-after-da-declines-to-file-new-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closed the investigation\u003c/a> three months later, citing a staff finding that there were insufficient legal grounds to charge Pirone as an accomplice to the killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant’s family has vowed to keep pushing for charges. A DA’s spokesperson recently declined interview requests, citing ongoing discussions about the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, BART released 26 more documents related to the case. Those included an analysis of Pirone’s shifting testimony about the incident, which formed the basis for a dishonesty finding against him.[aside postID=\"news_11744106,news_11734848,news_11840500\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Police-Art_1.gif\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/police-records\" target=\"_blank\"]The analysis said Pirone’s accounts called into question “his justification for deciding to arrest Grant for a 148 PC (resisting arrest) charge, a decision that led directly to the failed effort to arrest Grant and thence to the shooting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokesperson Trost said Friday that the only files related to the Oscar Grant case yet to be released are audio files, which have yet to be prepared. However, analysis of the documents already provided indicates the existence of additional written records, including transcripts and disciplinary documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, no audio files from the Grant investigation or multimedia from any of seven additional serious use-of-force and misconduct cases have been disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, attorneys for the agency informed KQED on Jan. 22 that BART was only then seeking a contractor to redact audio and video files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since SB 1421 was enacted we have been seeking an acceptable and affordable way to accomplish extensive, legally required, redaction of very large amounts of audio and visual files,” Trost said, noting that work can be labor intensive. “However, we are committed to finding a solution and hope to report progress on this front soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has produced almost no information on two other fatal police shootings in recent years, and provided dubious grounds for withholding those records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said recently that it had only a few police reports on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/124089/draft-bart-officer-shot-and-killed-while-serving-warrant-in-dublin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 shooting death\u003c/a> of BART Police Sgt. Thomas Smith, who was killed when fellow Detective Michael Maes mistook him for an armed suspect during a search of a home in Dublin. BART’s own investigation into the shooting remained paused — for six years — due to “pending litigation,” according to the agency’s Jan. 22 response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But BART had previously indicated that it completed an internal investigation in early 2015. Former BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/137625/bart-police-officer-cleared-in-friendly-fire-killing-in-dublin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said publicly\u003c/a> in mid-2014 that BART would “move forward with concluding its internal investigation of the tragedy.” And the agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/11/18/bart-to-pay-family-of-officer-shot-killed-in-friendly-fire-3-1-million-settlement/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">settled\u003c/a> a lawsuit brought by Smith’s family in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART did not respond to requests for clarification on these points, but simply repeated that “no findings or conclusions are available for that investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has similarly argued that it has no internal investigative records related to Officer Joseph Mateu’s fatal shooting of Sahleem Tindle in 2018 because “the investigation remains tolled due to ongoing litigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the most excruciating pain and heartache that any family can go through,” Johnson said. “The idea of just knowing what happened becomes so critical in your understanding of how to begin to heal from such devastation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://beta.documentcloud.org/documents/20489067-kqed-v-bart-verified-petition-for-writ-of-mandate-2192021\" responsive=true text=false]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This report was updated to include comments from BART spokesperson Alicia Trost.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Sandhya Dirks contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11786993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-800x777.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-1020x990.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1.png 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>This story was produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a>, a coalition of 40 news organizations across the state.

The document \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11744106/bart-releases-report-with-new-details-of-officers-roles-in-oscar-grant-killing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disclosed new details\u003c/a> in a case that had rocked the Bay Area, led to a criminal homicide conviction of a BART officer and triggered widespread protests against police violence that were a forerunner of the Black Lives Matter movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report cast doubt on former BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle’s account of the shooting at his murder trial in Los Angeles: that he had intended to draw his Taser, not his service firearm, before shooting Grant in the back as he lay face down on a Fruitvale BART Station platform on Jan. 1, 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5984249-OSCAR-GRANT-IA09A002-Final-Report-Internal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report\u003c/a> also found that the “willful and reckless conduct” of another former officer, Anthony Pirone, “started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.” Among other findings, the document said Pirone lied repeatedly to investigators, that he punched Grant and kneed him in the face without provocation and that he used a racial epithet during the confrontation with Grant and other men he had detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They [BART] knew this all that time,” Johnson said. “If they knew this for the past 11 years, then all the other details of what we don’t know … they will not tell us unless they’re forced to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report released in 2019 references many more files related to the Grant shooting that have never been made public, including audio files of dozens of interviews with witnesses and responding officers, including Pirone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The videotaped killing of Oscar Grant shocked our society and forced us to confront police violence in a new way,” said Ethan Toven-Lindsey, KQED’s executive editor of news. “And yet, law enforcement agencies including BART’s police force continue to block access to documents that are of critical public interest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley announced in October that her office was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841062/alameda-da-reopens-investigation-into-oscar-grant-killing-nearly-12-years-later\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reopening the criminal investigation\u003c/a> into Grant’s death, prompted by his family’s requests that prosecutors reinvestigate charges against Pirone. She \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11854829/crying-out-for-justice-oscar-grants-family-vows-to-keep-fighting-after-da-declines-to-file-new-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closed the investigation\u003c/a> three months later, citing a staff finding that there were insufficient legal grounds to charge Pirone as an accomplice to the killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant’s family has vowed to keep pushing for charges. A DA’s spokesperson recently declined interview requests, citing ongoing discussions about the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, BART released 26 more documents related to the case. Those included an analysis of Pirone’s shifting testimony about the incident, which formed the basis for a dishonesty finding against him.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, analysis of the documents already provided indicates the existence of additional written records, including transcripts and disciplinary documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, no audio files from the Grant investigation or multimedia from any of seven additional serious use-of-force and misconduct cases have been disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, attorneys for the agency informed KQED on Jan. 22 that BART was only then seeking a contractor to redact audio and video files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since SB 1421 was enacted we have been seeking an acceptable and affordable way to accomplish extensive, legally required, redaction of very large amounts of audio and visual files,” Trost said, noting that work can be labor intensive. “However, we are committed to finding a solution and hope to report progress on this front soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has produced almost no information on two other fatal police shootings in recent years, and provided dubious grounds for withholding those records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said recently that it had only a few police reports on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/124089/draft-bart-officer-shot-and-killed-while-serving-warrant-in-dublin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 shooting death\u003c/a> of BART Police Sgt. Thomas Smith, who was killed when fellow Detective Michael Maes mistook him for an armed suspect during a search of a home in Dublin. BART’s own investigation into the shooting remained paused — for six years — due to “pending litigation,” according to the agency’s Jan. 22 response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But BART had previously indicated that it completed an internal investigation in early 2015. Former BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/137625/bart-police-officer-cleared-in-friendly-fire-killing-in-dublin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said publicly\u003c/a> in mid-2014 that BART would “move forward with concluding its internal investigation of the tragedy.” And the agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/11/18/bart-to-pay-family-of-officer-shot-killed-in-friendly-fire-3-1-million-settlement/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">settled\u003c/a> a lawsuit brought by Smith’s family in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART did not respond to requests for clarification on these points, but simply repeated that “no findings or conclusions are available for that investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has similarly argued that it has no internal investigative records related to Officer Joseph Mateu’s fatal shooting of Sahleem Tindle in 2018 because “the investigation remains tolled due to ongoing litigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the most excruciating pain and heartache that any family can go through,” Johnson said. “The idea of just knowing what happened becomes so critical in your understanding of how to begin to heal from such devastation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The list includes six members of the newly installed junta, including its head, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, and his deputy, Soe Win.
