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.",

At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"content": "\u003cp>California's new attorney general said Thursday his office will review the fatal shooting of a young San Francisco man by Vallejo police last June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Rob Bonta repeatedly criticized Solano County District Attorney Krishna Abrams for not conducting her own review of last year's killing of 22-year-old Sean Monterrosa, saying she was fully capable but chose not to do so. Bonta's predecessor, Xavier Becerra, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11826054/state-attorney-general-wont-investigate-vallejo-polices-fatal-shooting-of-sean-monterrosa\">also declined to take up the investigation\u003c/a> for the same reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I made it clear that she should conduct the investigation,\" Bonta said. \"In the absence of her doing so, we will do so because fairness requires a complete process — not a process that ends with an investigation and a file that's gathering dust on someone's desk somewhere, but a review of that investigation, and a decision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrams had asked the attorney general's office to take over the investigation, saying in June that \"an independent review is needed at this time to restore public trust and provide credibility, transparency and oversight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta's office said local officials' investigation into Monterrosa's death was completed on March 10 and given to Abrams' office for review. But Abrams, it said, attempted to turn the file over to the attorney general's office \"without invitation or notice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A law that goes into effect in July will require the attorney general to investigate police shootings of unarmed civilians. But Bonta said it doesn't apply in this case. Abrams' office did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterrosa was killed on June 2 by Vallejo police officer Jarrett Tonn, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11826613/vallejo-police-release-video-of-deadly-shooting-of-sean-monterrosa\">fired a semi-automatic rifle five times through the windshield of an unmarked police vehicle\u003c/a>, hitting Monterrosa once. Officers were responding to reports of a break-in at a Walgreens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo Police Chief Shawny Williams said at the time that Monterrosa dropped to his knees and put his hands above his waist, revealing what Tonn took to be the butt of a handgun. It turned out to be a 15-inch hammer in the pocket of his sweatshirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police have also changed their narrative of why Monterrosa was shot – Williams later said Monterrosa was crouched in a \"tactical\" position before he was shot, though police body camera footage did not show what Monterrosa was doing in the moments before he was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney John Burris, who is representing the Monterrosa family in a wrongful-death lawsuit, said he is thankful Bonta will review the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Vallejo police command staff knew or should have known that this was Tonn’s fourth shooting in five years and by failing to discipline officers for misconduct, Vallejo’s police command staff essentially ratified the bad conduct,” Burris said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The windshield, considered a key piece of evidence, was destroyed, leading city officials to seek a criminal investigation into how that happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi even weighed in on the case, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11829628/pelosi-murder-of-sean-monterrosa-a-horrible-act-of-brutality\">calling Monterrosa's death a \"murder\"\u003c/a> and criticizing the \"destruction of essential evidence\" in the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Vallejo Police Shootings' tag='vallejo-police-shootings']The Vallejo Police Department has come under repeated criticism in other cases as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, in July, Williams said he was starting an independent investigation after two people in the department \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11830960/ousted-vallejo-officer-alleges-tradition-of-bending-badges-to-mark-police-killings\">said officers had bent their badges to mark on-duty killings\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department has had several other controversial slayings by police, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11768008/the-life-and-death-of-willie-mccoy\">including that of Willie McCoy\u003c/a>, 20, of Suisun City, in February 2019. Vallejo police killed McCoy after he fell asleep with a gun in his lap in his car in a Taco Bell drive-thru. Officers fired 55 shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo agreed in November to pay $750,000 to settle a civil rights lawsuit by Carl Edwards, a handyman who was left bloodied after he was beaten and choked by Vallejo police in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said there is no time frame for completing what he said would be an impartial and thorough investigation of Monterrosa's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Wherever the facts and the law lead, that's where we'll go,\" he said. \"If there is wrongdoing, we'll bring it to light. If the facts do not lead to a charging decision, we will explain it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Bill Dodd, a Democrat from nearby Napa, praised Bonta's decision, saying he had wanted an independent investigation all along. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's crucial that we have a thorough and impartial review of the facts and get accountability for any wrongdoing,\" Dodd said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from The Associated Press's Don Thompson, and KQED's David Marks and Ericka Cruz Guevarra.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

But Abrams, it said, attempted to turn the file over to the attorney general's office \"without invitation or notice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A law that goes into effect in July will require the attorney general to investigate police shootings of unarmed civilians. But Bonta said it doesn't apply in this case. Abrams' office did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The Alameda City Council plans to meet for a \u003ca href=\"https://legistar1.granicus.com/alameda/meetings/2021/5/5435_A_City_Council_21-05-08_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\">special session\u003c/a> on Saturday to consider immediate policing reforms following the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11871345/city-of-alameda-releases-police-body-cam-footage-of-mario-gonzalez-death\">death of Mario Gonzalez\u003c/a> last month. Gonzalez, a 26-year-old Oakland man, stopped breathing after several Alameda police officers held him face-down on the ground for roughly five minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed reforms include creating a civilian police oversight board, revising the department's use-of-force policies and requiring a \"non-police response\" to certain types of 911 calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An immediate step that can be taken is a process for civilian oversight of police actions that involve physical contact, and random checks of body camera video, just to make sure we have some eyes, a second set of review,\" said Councilmember John Knox White, who is also pushing for the city to pilot a mental health response unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"David Thomas, former police tactical trainer and professor of forensic studies\"]'I don't understand why they felt compelled to engage [Gonzalez] to the point where they had to handcuff him and control.

They were responding to 911 calls from neighbors who said he was acting disoriented and appeared to be breaking security tags off alcohol bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He seems like he’s tweaking.

These are among the heated questions the Alameda City Council intends to take up this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This was a tragic and avoidable incident that once again demonstrates the danger of involving law enforcement and interactions with people experiencing mental health crises and substance-use issues,\" said Jennifer Stark, an attorney with Disability Rights California, one of the many groups that support reallocating resources to community service agencies and enlisting them to respond to certain non-violent calls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a violent person. There were no safety issues raised. There were some concerns potentially about mental health issues. And this is one of those cases where it would have been perfectly appropriate to involve mental health professionals to come in to speak with Mario and to de-escalate the situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no crisis,\" she added, \"until the law enforcement got involved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randy Fenn, Alameda's interim police chief, said he agrees on the need to reexamine this dynamic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that's going to be a really important question going forward,\" Fenn said. \"Who are the appropriate responders?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that can get complicated fast, he added, noting that in this case, Gonzalez seemed to be acting erratically and could have become potentially dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, would properly trained, non-sworn people be the best to respond to this? Possibly,\" he said. \"Would they be in some level of danger? Again, possibly. So do you have a mix of a social worker with a police officer?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"And I think each community is trying right now to figure out what that looks like and what's the best model for Alameda.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article includes reporting from KQED's Alex Emslie and Holly McDede, and The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hall, who'd been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/70665/CCCDAO---Miles-HALL-Incident-PDF?bidId=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">district attorney's report\u003c/a>, had several prior contacts with police in similar circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers responded to multiple calls related to Hall the day of the shooting, including from his mother and grandmother, who'd told 911 operators that Hall was having a mental health breakdown, was off his medication, violent and threatening them with a long metal pole, according to the DA's report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Halls had a longstanding relationship with Walnut Creek Police, who’d helped the family hospitalize Miles previously, and the department’s Mental Health Evaluation Team had maintained a file on him. In one instance recounted in the DA's report, Walnut Creek police officers had subdued Hall with shotgun-fired beanbag rounds a year before he was killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before officers arrived on the scene the day of Hall's death, Sgt. Holley Connors had formed a tactical plan with officers Hsiao, Murphy and Matt Smith. A fifth Walnut Creek officer, Tammy Keagy, was assigned the role of negotiator because she had specialized training and had established a rapport with Hall in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she would never get a chance to talk with him the day of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11843922]As she drove separately to the scene, Keagy called Hall's mother, according to the DA's report, and was told, \"We've never seen him like this before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connors told the other officers, \"I'm not gonna give this guy a lot of chances,\" according to the report. Connors noted that Hall had a weapon and was \"going into neighbor's homes, he's lost his mind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connors told officers to give commands, and Murphy was designated to use a Taser if appropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just watch your backdrop,\" Connors said, according to the DA, meaning officers should be prepared to fire their guns and pay attention to what was behind their target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall was walking through his neighborhood carrying the 15-pound, nearly 5-foot-long digging tool when police confronted him in a cul-de-sac in the 100 block of Arlene Lane. Hall ran toward the officers and ignored multiple commands to drop the tool, police said, according to the DA's report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith started firing bean bag rounds as Hall continued to close the distance between them. When he got within about 15 feet of Murphy, she fired the first of two rounds of bullets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith told investigators that Hall was \"too close for comfort\" and that if she hadn't fired he would have killed her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officer Kuong Hsaio (referred to as \"KC Hsaio\" in the DA's report) told investigators that he, too, believed Hall was going to strike Murphy when Hsaio fired the first of four rounds. Hall attempted to get up, but officers held him down, handcuffed him and started to provide first aid. He was pronounced dead at the hospital about 21 minutes after being shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An autopsy found Hall was killed by four gunshot wounds to his torso and hip. He also had three bruises consistent with being struck with beanbag rounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All five officers involved in the incident were cleared to return to duty within weeks of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='police-killings']Since Hall’s death, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843922/the-police-shooting-that-motivated-walnut-creek-residents-to-run-for-city-council\">his family has advocated for non-police alternatives to mental health crises locally and statewide\u003c/a>, suing the city, its police chief and all involved officers before reaching a $4 million settlement that included commitments from the city to invest in non-police alternatives when responding to a mental health crisis, as well as crisis intervention training for the police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney John Burris, who represents Hall's family, said he plans to ask the state and federal attorneys general to review the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are not finished fighting for justice and accountability in the killing of Miles Hall,\" Burris said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last summer, the Walnut Creek Police Department faced \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2021/03/15/these-guys-turned-it-into-a-military-operation-lawsuit-filed-against-east-bay-police-that-sicced-dogs-rubber-bullets-on-walnut-creek-protesters/\">further scrutiny\u003c/a> over its treatment of protesters after the death of George Floyd. About 5,000 people marched through the city’s downtown corridor before some protesters attempted to walk onto Interstate 680, where they were met with police in riot gear, police dogs, tear gas and rubber bullets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101883072/nation-reacts-to-guilty-verdict-in-george-floyd-killing\">an interview\u003c/a> with KQED's \"Forum\" radio program following the conviction of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of Floyd, Hall’s mother said little has changed in Walnut Creek since her son’s death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s good police are accountable in [George Floyd's] case, but what about our family? Where’s accountability for the police officers that shot Miles?” Taun Hall told KQED's Mina Kim. “If something happened to another family member in Walnut Creek today, things are still the same.”\u003c/p>\n\n",
