I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

The plan would also create a national registry to track police misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can't settle for anything other than transformative structural change,\" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Monday while flanked by the bill's authors gathered to introduce the legislation. \"True justice can only be achieved with full, comprehensive action, that is what we are doing today.

A Democratic congressional aide provided the letter and bill outline to NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Persistent, unchecked bias in policing and a history of lack of accountability is wreaking havoc on the black community.

And while there is some degree of bipartisan support for reviewing the tactics that led to Floyd's death, cooperation is less certain on a legislative solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans were absent from Democratic talks to develop the legislation and for now are unlikely to support it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we can easily find common ground on both sides and we can do it swiftly, but it's more difficult if you're away,\" House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters Thursday, referencing an extended House recess as a result of the pandemic. \"Members of Congress should not be called back for one week and say, 'Here are all the bills.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic led-House is expected to take up the measure later this month, but its fate is much less clear in the Republican-controlled Senate. For now, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and many Republicans have acknowledged \"egregious wrongs\" in police brutality cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly something that we need to take a look at,\" McConnell told reporters last week. \"We'll be talking to our colleagues about what, if anything, is appropriate for us to do in the wake of what's going on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress has often struggled to address policing issues on a bipartisan basis as some say decisions about policing tactics, training and strategies should be solved at the state and local level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced a June 16 hearing on police use of force to \"shine a bright light on the problems associated with Mr. Floyd's death, with the goal of finding a better way forward for our nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Democrats say it is critical that this legislation be comprehensive and ambitious, even if Senate Republicans refuse to consider the bill. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, said Democrats need to make sure the package reflects the demands of the people protesting and calling for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The American public is going to get behind it,\" Cleaver said in an interview with NPR. \"They are saying they want substantive change. They want reform. Reforms that perhaps in the past people have been afraid to embrace.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='george-floyd']Cleaver said serving in Congress requires a certain level of courage to vote for legislation that may be controversial. He said in the past, lawmakers from both parties have shied away from addressing systemic issues with policing but he believes this moment is different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Missouri Democrat, a former mayor of Kansas City, Mo., said the response to the killing of George Floyd gives Congress an opportunity to create uniform standards that help mayors and local leaders by giving them guidelines for conduct. He said federal laws can also provide political backup for local leaders when they meet resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that the federal government must express itself,\" Cleaver said. \"Local communities all around the country who might be reticent about doing things that they believe would be helpful can say, 'Hey, that's the law.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Debate About Calls to 'Defund the Police'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The legislation does not address the growing movement among some protesters calling to defund police departments. California Rep. Karen Bass, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, told reporters that the legislation aims instead to overhaul how policing is conducted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We feel it is transformative, that it will transform the relationships that our communities have with the police,\" Bass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats at Monday's press conference largely avoided addressing the concept of defunding the police or their support for that demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional Republicans and their campaign operations have already begun attacking Democrats over the demand to defund the police. Outside groups and the official campaign organizations for House and Senate Republicans have begun linking rank-and-file Democrats to the defund movement. President Trump has also weighed in. Democrats, like Rep.

In recent years, efforts have failed to enact legislation to allow foreigners’ children born in Italy to become citizens while still minors if they’ve attended Italian schools.

He was the first in his family to attend college, and he worked long shifts selling tacos to pay for tuition. But his goal of becoming a doctor motivated him to push through many challenging years. Last Saturday, he graduated from the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was my dream ever since I can remember,” Hernandez, 31, said. “Finally getting on that little podium to graduate as a doctor, that was a really great moment for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of social distancing rules, it was a drive-through celebration at the school’s parking lot. A giant screen broadcast images of the 92 graduates as they took turns stepping out of their cars and onto a stage to be hooded. Loved ones, who were told to remain in their vehicles with the windows rolled up, honked from afar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was kind of cool, like a drive-in movie theater,” said Hernandez, grateful for the non-virtual ceremony. “It was actually in person as much as it could be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11823205\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11823205\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43566_IMG_0801-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oscar Hernandez is flanked by his father Juan, mother Ana, and brother Daniel on graduation day on May 30, 2020 in Irvine, Calif. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Oscar Hernandez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This week, Hernandez moved from California to Ohio to train as a surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, one of the top hospitals in the country.

His mom cleaned houses and his dad served food at banquets. The couple eventually opened a party rental business that allowed the family to move out of the trailer park in the city’s southeast and buy a house in the Skyline Hills area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the family lost their business and home during the Great Recession, and they had to move once again. Hernandez said he ended up living in his friend’s living room for “a long time.” His parents, who had helped him pay for college, could no longer do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an undocumented person, Hernandez wasn’t eligible for federal financial aid and most scholarships, which require a social security number. In 2010, he dropped out of UC San Diego to work at a taqueria and laundromat. That helped him pay about $9,000 in college tuition he owed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez faced other obstacles as well. Some medical schools \u003ca href=\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b453764f93fd480d1fcc9f9/t/5bac29c5e79c70397ee8aa26/1538013119971/PHD-MedSchoolFAQ-ver.2.pdf\">do not accept\u003c/a> undocumented students, he said, while residency training programs — necessary to get licensed as a doctor — require work authorization, which he didn’t have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that point, I was chasing a dream without a way to actually achieve it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, when then-President Barack Obama announced the DACA program, it opened up new doors for Hernandez and thousands others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After signing up for the program, Hernandez was able to qualify for financial aid, volunteer at a hospital and graduate from college. He could apply to medical schools, and for the first time in his life — he could legally work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11823206\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11823206\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43564_AP_20152163587801-UCI-SOM-Dean-Stamos-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1276\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43564_AP_20152163587801-UCI-SOM-Dean-Stamos-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43564_AP_20152163587801-UCI-SOM-Dean-Stamos-qut-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43564_AP_20152163587801-UCI-SOM-Dean-Stamos-qut-800x532.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43564_AP_20152163587801-UCI-SOM-Dean-Stamos-qut-1020x678.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dean Michael J.

Prolonged periods of stress can also result in poor maternal health for pregnant women, which is a growing concern for clinicians treating pregnant women during the pandemic. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday ordered the state police regulatory agency to stop training officers on how to use a hold that can block the flow of blood to the brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he is “immediately directing” the state Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to stop teaching the practice in its curriculum, and is supporting proposed legislation to ban the practice in California. The decision on using the hold is currently up to police agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We train techniques on strangleholds that put people’s lives at risk,” Newsom said during a press conference at the California Museum’s Unity Center in Sacramento. “That has no place any longer in 21st century practices and policing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It marked his first action on police use of force following two weeks of protests across the country over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd died on Memorial Day after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes while he was handcuffed and lying face-down on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, there have been a cascade of calls around the country for police to review their use-of-force policies. The San Diego Police Department and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department are among the agencies that announced they would stop using the carotid hold, named because it applies pressure to the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, a carotid hold that literally is designed to stop people’s blood from flowing into their brain, that has no place any longer in 21st century practices and policing,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also called on the Legislature to set standards for crowd control and police use of force during protests. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"george-floyd\"]“We are not seeing people treated equally all across the state of California,” he said, vowing to work with the state’s Legislative Black Caucus, national experts, community leaders and law enforcement officials to craft a proposal. “We need to standardize those approaches.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom noted that police in California and elsewhere have resorted to using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds during the current protests against police brutality. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One thing that is crystal clear to me [is] that protesters have the right not to be harassed,” Newsom noted. “Protesters have the right to protest peacefully … without being arrested, gassed, shot at by projectiles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Newsom signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-california-police-use-of-force-law-signed-20190711-story.html\">landmark bill\u003c/a> that limits police use of lethal force to defending against an imminent threat of death or serious injury to officers or bystanders. The old standard allowed officers to use lethal force if they had a “reasonable fear,” which made it rare for an officer to be charged or convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That law was prompted by the 2018 fatal police shooting in Sacramento of Stephon Clark, who was black.

Gavin Newsom on Friday ordered the state police regulatory agency to stop training officers on how to use a hold that can block the flow of blood to the brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he is “immediately directing” the state Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to stop teaching the practice in its curriculum, and is supporting proposed legislation to ban the practice in California. The decision on using the hold is currently up to police agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We train techniques on strangleholds that put people’s lives at risk,” Newsom said during a press conference at the California Museum’s Unity Center in Sacramento. “That has no place any longer in 21st century practices and policing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It marked his first action on police use of force following two weeks of protests across the country over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd died on Memorial Day after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes while he was handcuffed and lying face-down on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, there have been a cascade of calls around the country for police to review their use-of-force policies. The San Diego Police Department and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department are among the agencies that announced they would stop using the carotid hold, named because it applies pressure to the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The old standard allowed officers to use lethal force if they had a “reasonable fear,” which made it rare for an officer to be charged or convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That law was prompted by the 2018 fatal police shooting in Sacramento of Stephon Clark, who was black.

I think we're learning a lot right now about what might happen. We've been tracking, at least I have been tracking the post-Memorial Day situation in particular in areas where there was a lot of partying.

Is change possible?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: \"We had a moment in the 1960s and we blew it. As [professor Clayborne Carson] said, rhetorically there was a war on poverty, but it was underfunded and didn't have the kind of comprehensive support that was needed to actually have an effect on poverty. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I think, in keeping this pressure on, that we currently have ... we've galvanized the nation. Racial injustice will no longer be tolerated. The discriminatory and horrific policing and prison system in this country is no longer acceptable. And this is some of the spirit that was coming out of the protests and the unrest the 1960s. But instead, policymakers and our institutions took the wrong policy turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So instead of making that massive investment that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11821827/opportunity-lost-the-radical-1968-report-on-white-racism-the-government-chose-to-ignore\">Kerner Commission\u003c/a> called for, we end up getting a massive investment in a new kind of system, which is, of course, policing, surveillance and incarceration. So ... we don't get a job creation program for low-income Americans of color through the war on poverty. But we do get a major job creation program for police in the war on crime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the biggest lesson that we can learn is that we made this decision to manage the problems of failing schools and unemployment and dilapidated housing with police and with new surveillance technologies and with locking people up. And that has not worked. That has been one of the biggest policy failures in the history of the United States. So now it's time.

As [professor Clayborne Carson] said, rhetorically there was a war on poverty, but it was underfunded and didn't have the kind of comprehensive support that was needed to actually have an effect on poverty. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I think, in keeping this pressure on, that we currently have ... we've galvanized the nation. Racial injustice will no longer be tolerated. The discriminatory and horrific policing and prison system in this country is no longer acceptable. And this is some of the spirit that was coming out of the protests and the unrest the 1960s. But instead, policymakers and our institutions took the wrong policy turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So instead of making that massive investment that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11821827/opportunity-lost-the-radical-1968-report-on-white-racism-the-government-chose-to-ignore\">Kerner Commission\u003c/a> called for, we end up getting a massive investment in a new kind of system, which is, of course, policing, surveillance and incarceration. So ... we don't get a job creation program for low-income Americans of color through the war on poverty. But we do get a major job creation program for police in the war on crime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the biggest lesson that we can learn is that we made this decision to manage the problems of failing schools and unemployment and dilapidated housing with police and with new surveillance technologies and with locking people up. And that has not worked. That has been one of the biggest policy failures in the history of the United States. So now it's time. And now we have a moment when we can try something new.\" — Elizabeth Hinton, professor of history and African and African American studies, Harvard University\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Some quotes edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"1\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nLet us know if you have questions or resources to share:\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Shortly after the first squad car arrived at the scene, Floyd had been pinned face-down to the ground by three police officers as a fourth officer stood by. One of the officers, Derek Chauvin, knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Kerner Commission report\"]‘This is our basic conclusion: Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white — separate and unequal.

Floyd was loaded into an ambulance and brought to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following night, Minneapolis erupted in furious protests, with hundreds pouring into the streets, demanding justice for Floyd. The demonstrations mushroomed in size and ferocity as the week went on, with many buildings, including a police station, vandalized and set ablaze, prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency and send in National Guard troops to quell the unrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Friday, protests had spread to scores of cities, large and small, across the country — including many in the Bay Area. Racially diverse groups of tens of thousands of demonstrators have since flooded the streets, demanding an end to police brutality and systemic racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd’s death follows a long succession of high-profile police killings of unarmed African Americans, especially young men, who are disproportionately targeted by law enforcement and \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2020/5/31/21276004/anger-police-killing-george-floyd-protests\">far more likely\u003c/a> than anyone else to be brutalized or killed during such encounters. It’s a somber fact black people live with every day, and one other Americans are reminded of in the wake of each notorious incident, from Oscar Grant and Michael Brown to Eric Garner and Laquan McDonald, Tamir Rice and Freddie Gray to Walter Scott and Stephon Clark — the list goes on and on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while each of those incidents sparked widespread outrage and activism — including the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of Brown’s death in Ferguson — the extensiveness of the reaction to Floyd’s death stands apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we’ve been here before: The massive reach of this moment is eerily reminiscent of a series of urban uprisings that unfolded more than half a century ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The ‘Long, Hot Summer’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 1967, during what was dubbed the “long, hot summer,” more than 150 poor, largely black communities across the country were rocked by violent unrest.

Unlike in today’s demonstrations, those involved were almost unilaterally the African American residents hardest hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And nearly every local instance of unrest was ignited by a similar spark: the news of an unarmed black man (or men) beaten or killed by white police officers for a seemingly minor infraction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two of the most devastating uprisings happened back-to-back that July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Newark, New Jersey, two white police officers beat a black cab driver after stopping him for a minor traffic violation. As word of the incident spread, thousands of residents came out to the streets, breaking into and burning businesses and prompting the deployment of several thousand police officers and the National Guard.

They drew on the research of social scientists and analyzed media coverage of the recent violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 11-member, all-male commission was not politically radical in any sense of the word: It included four members of Congress, the mayor of New York, Atlanta’s police chief and union and industry representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only two members were black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commissioners actually rejected an initial draft of the report — titled “\u003ca href=\"https://www.press.umich.edu/9684789/harvest_of_american_racism\">The Harvest of American Racism\u003c/a>” — that had been produced by the group of social scientists tasked with synthesizing months of interviews and testimony. That version, which commissioners deemed too radical, and quickly buried, stated that “a truly revolutionary spirit has begun to take hold” in black communities, where residents were unwilling “to compromise or wait any longer” and would rather “risk death than have their people continue in a subordinate status.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, the final \u003ca href=\"https://belonging.berkeley.edu/1968-kerner-commission-report\">report\u003c/a> delivered to Johnson, and later publicly released, was considered groundbreaking — a blunt and sobering assessment of substandard living conditions in many urban black communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Two Societies … Separate and Unequal’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“This is our basic conclusion,” the report said. “Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white — separate and unequal. White racism is essentially responsible for the explosive mixture which has been accumulating in our cities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s direct reference to white racism as a root cause of the uprisings was particularly controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used the word racism. And on the commission, we had two or three people say, ‘Should we use that word, racism?’ ” former Oklahoma Sen. Fred Harris, who served on the commission, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/03282008/watch.html\">told Bill Moyers\u003c/a> in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our saying racism, I think, was very important to a lot of black people who said, ‘Well, maybe it’s not just me. Maybe I’m not, by myself, at fault here. Maybe there’s something else going on.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1968 report elaborated on the often incendiary relationship between local, predominantly white police forces and the black communities they patrolled:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The police are not merely a “spark” factor. To some Negroes police have come to symbolize white power, white racism and white repression. And the fact is that many police do reflect and express these white attitudes. The atmosphere of hostility and cynicism is reinforced by a widespread belief among Negroes in the existence of police brutality and in a “double standard” of justice and protection — one for Negroes and one for whites.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>At the time, some blamed the unrest on “outside agitators,” roving groups of radicals traveling from city to city, intent on sowing chaos and disorder. The commission said it found no evidence of conspiracy or premeditated plans connected to the violence. Although it stopped short of labeling the unrest a rebellion against racial oppression, it said the conflicts were an indication of the deep frustration stemming from a host of social problems afflicting disenfranchised communities of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Topping that list: police brutality, unemployment and an inadequate supply of affordable housing. The commission stated, in no uncertain terms, that white America was directly implicated in creating these problems:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What white Americans have never fully understood — but what the Negro can never forget — is that white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto. White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The commission’s sweeping policy recommendations included:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Creating 2 million new jobs and 6 million new affordable housing units\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Revamping the welfare system\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eliminating de facto school segregation\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eliminating “abrasive” police practices and establishing redress mechanisms\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Improving news coverage of the problems facing black Americans\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Making local government more responsive to inner city communities\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The 426-page report, published in March 1968, sold \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritage.org/research/lecture/the-kerner-commission-report\">more than 2 million copies\u003c/a> and earned a spot on the New York Times’ nonfiction \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=4il1AwAAQBAJ&pg=PT453&lpg=PT453&dq=new+york+times+bestseller+list+nonfiction+1968+kerner&source=bl&ots=iUXvd_Hwq1&sig=AdfVX8Yc9xYLAIaoWtD1ckwUjIM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCwQ6AEwA2oVChMIz4rKhI-9yAIVwbgeCh1DWQXU#v=onepage&q&f=false\">bestseller list\u003c/a>, which called it a “stinging indictment of white society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then it all but vanished.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sidelined\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Johnson administration balked at the report, arguing that the commission \u003ca href=\"https://www.bunkhistory.org/resources/2011\">hadn’t given the president enough credit\u003c/a> for past legislation on civil rights and poverty alleviation. Johnson refused to support further research or so much as meet with the commissioners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report stressed that for conditions to improve, “hard choices must be made, and, if necessary, new taxes enacted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was little political will to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"george-floyd\"]Johnson — who at the time was still planning a run for re-election — was threatened by the commission’s findings, worried he would lose support among many white communities who were unwilling to acknowledge the central role systemic racism had played in fueling the unrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also concerned about the political impact of rising rates of crime and disorder, Johnson supported several pieces of tough-on-crime legislation, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/crt/omnibus-crime-control-and-safe-streets-act-1968-42-usc-3789d\">Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968\u003c/a>, which he signed nearly six months after receiving the Kerner Commission report. The bill allocated roughly $400 million in grants to states to beef up local police forces with new equipment and technical assistance — in part to more effectively suppress future uprisings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And less than a month after the report’s publication, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, sparking more violent unrest in cities throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>From Kerner to Ferguson to Minneapolis\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/09/us/ferguson-michael-brown.html\">shooting of Michael Brown\u003c/a> in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 and the unrest that followed, a new commission was formed to study a problem strikingly similar to the one examined nearly 50 years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaired by former Presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush, the group was tasked with identifying the underlying causes of the unrest. Its \u003ca href=\"http://forwardthroughferguson.org/report/executive-summary/\">final report\u003c/a>, while much narrower in scope, bears some resemblance to the Kerner Commission’s findings. Its recommendations included:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Reducing the use of force by police officers\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reforming sentencing laws\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Improving the health and education of children and young people\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Increasing access to affordable housing and public transit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Expanding Medicaid\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Like the Kerner report, the Ferguson analysis identified racial and economic inequality as the primary source of the problems that led to the protests. But the language and tone are strikingly different:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not pointing fingers and calling individual people racist,” the report diplomatically states. “We are not even suggesting that institutions or existing systems intend to be racist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/27/589351779/report-updates-landmark-1968-racism-study-finds-more-poverty-more-segregation\">study co-edited by Kerner Commission member Fred Harris\u003c/a> followed up on the status of communities examined in the 1968 report. The findings were grim. The new study found that poverty in many of those places had actually increased, as had school segregation, while the inequality gap between white Americans and black, brown and Native Americans had widened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original Kerner Commission may have foreseen this outcome. The report’s conclusion quoted the testimony of psychologist Kenneth Clark. Clark – whose famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.naacpldf.org/brown-at-60-the-doll-test\">doll tests\u003c/a> were cited in \u003cem>Brown v. Board of Education\u003c/em> – reminded the panel of the many previous commissions assembled to study incidents of racial unrest: Chicago in 1919, Harlem in 1935 and 1943, Los Angeles in 1965.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testifying before the Kerner Commission, Clark said, was a kind of “Alice in Wonderland” experience: He watched the same images flickering past, sat listening to the same analysis and the same recommendations – and it all culminated, finally, in the same inaction. The commissioners quoted his words:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is time now to end the destruction and the violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They drew on the research of social scientists and analyzed media coverage of the recent violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 11-member, all-male commission was not politically radical in any sense of the word: It included four members of Congress, the mayor of New York, Atlanta’s police chief and union and industry representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only two members were black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commissioners actually rejected an initial draft of the report — titled “\u003ca href=\"https://www.press.umich.edu/9684789/harvest_of_american_racism\">The Harvest of American Racism\u003c/a>” — that had been produced by the group of social scientists tasked with synthesizing months of interviews and testimony. That version, which commissioners deemed too radical, and quickly buried, stated that “a truly revolutionary spirit has begun to take hold” in black communities, where residents were unwilling “to compromise or wait any longer” and would rather “risk death than have their people continue in a subordinate status.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, the final \u003ca href=\"https://belonging.berkeley.edu/1968-kerner-commission-report\">report\u003c/a> delivered to Johnson, and later publicly released, was considered groundbreaking — a blunt and sobering assessment of substandard living conditions in many urban black communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Two Societies … Separate and Unequal’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“This is our basic conclusion,” the report said. “Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white — separate and unequal. White racism is essentially responsible for the explosive mixture which has been accumulating in our cities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s direct reference to white racism as a root cause of the uprisings was particularly controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used the word racism. And on the commission, we had two or three people say, ‘Should we use that word, racism?’ ” former Oklahoma Sen. Fred Harris, who served on the commission, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/03282008/watch.html\">told Bill Moyers\u003c/a> in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our saying racism, I think, was very important to a lot of black people who said, ‘Well, maybe it’s not just me. Maybe I’m not, by myself, at fault here. Maybe there’s something else going on.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1968 report elaborated on the often incendiary relationship between local, predominantly white police forces and the black communities they patrolled:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The police are not merely a “spark” factor. To some Negroes police have come to symbolize white power, white racism and white repression. And the fact is that many police do reflect and express these white attitudes. The atmosphere of hostility and cynicism is reinforced by a widespread belief among Negroes in the existence of police brutality and in a “double standard” of justice and protection — one for Negroes and one for whites.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>At the time, some blamed the unrest on “outside agitators,” roving groups of radicals traveling from city to city, intent on sowing chaos and disorder. The commission said it found no evidence of conspiracy or premeditated plans connected to the violence. Although it stopped short of labeling the unrest a rebellion against racial oppression, it said the conflicts were an indication of the deep frustration stemming from a host of social problems afflicting disenfranchised communities of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Topping that list: police brutality, unemployment and an inadequate supply of affordable housing. The commission stated, in no uncertain terms, that white America was directly implicated in creating these problems:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What white Americans have never fully understood — but what the Negro can never forget — is that white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto. White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The commission’s sweeping policy recommendations included:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Creating 2 million new jobs and 6 million new affordable housing units\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Revamping the welfare system\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eliminating de facto school segregation\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eliminating “abrasive” police practices and establishing redress mechanisms\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Improving news coverage of the problems facing black Americans\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Making local government more responsive to inner city communities\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The 426-page report, published in March 1968, sold \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritage.org/research/lecture/the-kerner-commission-report\">more than 2 million copies\u003c/a> and earned a spot on the New York Times’ nonfiction \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=4il1AwAAQBAJ&pg=PT453&lpg=PT453&dq=new+york+times+bestseller+list+nonfiction+1968+kerner&source=bl&ots=iUXvd_Hwq1&sig=AdfVX8Yc9xYLAIaoWtD1ckwUjIM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCwQ6AEwA2oVChMIz4rKhI-9yAIVwbgeCh1DWQXU#v=onepage&q&f=false\">bestseller list\u003c/a>, which called it a “stinging indictment of white society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then it all but vanished.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sidelined\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Johnson administration balked at the report, arguing that the commission \u003ca href=\"https://www.bunkhistory.org/resources/2011\">hadn’t given the president enough credit\u003c/a> for past legislation on civil rights and poverty alleviation. Johnson refused to support further research or so much as meet with the commissioners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report stressed that for conditions to improve, “hard choices must be made, and, if necessary, new taxes enacted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was little political will to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bush, the group was tasked with identifying the underlying causes of the unrest. Its \u003ca href=\"http://forwardthroughferguson.org/report/executive-summary/\">final report\u003c/a>, while much narrower in scope, bears some resemblance to the Kerner Commission’s findings. Its recommendations included:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Reducing the use of force by police officers\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reforming sentencing laws\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Improving the health and education of children and young people\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Increasing access to affordable housing and public transit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Expanding Medicaid\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Like the Kerner report, the Ferguson analysis identified racial and economic inequality as the primary source of the problems that led to the protests. But the language and tone are strikingly different:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not pointing fingers and calling individual people racist,” the report diplomatically states. “We are not even suggesting that institutions or existing systems intend to be racist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/27/589351779/report-updates-landmark-1968-racism-study-finds-more-poverty-more-segregation\">study co-edited by Kerner Commission member Fred Harris\u003c/a> followed up on the status of communities examined in the 1968 report. The findings were grim. The new study found that poverty in many of those places had actually increased, as had school segregation, while the inequality gap between white Americans and black, brown and Native Americans had widened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original Kerner Commission may have foreseen this outcome. The report’s conclusion quoted the testimony of psychologist Kenneth Clark. Clark – whose famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.naacpldf.org/brown-at-60-the-doll-test\">doll tests\u003c/a> were cited in \u003cem>Brown v. Board of Education\u003c/em> – reminded the panel of the many previous commissions assembled to study incidents of racial unrest: Chicago in 1919, Harlem in 1935 and 1943, Los Angeles in 1965.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testifying before the Kerner Commission, Clark said, was a kind of “Alice in Wonderland” experience: He watched the same images flickering past, sat listening to the same analysis and the same recommendations – and it all culminated, finally, in the same inaction. The commissioners quoted his words:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is time now to end the destruction and the violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The Oakland Police Department has come under increasing scrutiny from city officials, civil rights lawyers and even public health experts for shooting tear gas and rubber bullets into crowds during recent protests ignited by the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6936091-2020-06-03-OPD-Letter.html\">letter\u003c/a> Wednesday, civil rights attorneys James Chanin and Rachel Lederman said that Oakland police violated its own crowd-control policies and that its actions were “precipitous, excessive and endangered innocent people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman and Chanin took particular issue with the use of tear gas at a Monday night protest around City Hall that was characterized as largely peaceful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The policy specifies that … crowd control chemical agents shall be used only if other techniques, such as encirclement and multiple simultaneous arrest or police formations have failed,” Lederman and Chanin wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Susan Manheimer, Oakland interim police chief\"]“It is specifically a tool for those violent disruptors who would seek to destroy parts of Oakland and cause fear amongst our community.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said her office received a complaint from a 30-year-old Oakland resident who was caught in the smoke as she led students away from the demonstration before the curfew on Monday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were not given any time to disperse,” said the resident, who is not identified in the letter. “I believe I began to pass out as I felt my body start to keel over, and braced myself for losing consciousness by getting almost on all fours. I believe that another 20-30 seconds in that environment would have led to a loss of consciousness and possibly asphyxia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NotoriousECG/status/1267649857994371073\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference Wednesday, Oakland interim Police Chief Susan Manheimer defended the department’s actions, saying that their policy allows the “use of gas or other distractors, such as smoke, when there’s an immediate threat of violence to our community or our officers, when there’s damage and destruction of property.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Theft, vandalism and violence have occurred alongside some of the protests around the Bay Area and in Oakland, and Manheimer added that crowd-control tactics are used “judiciously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is specifically a tool for those violent disruptors who would seek to destroy parts of Oakland and cause fear amongst our community,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lederman said that these tactics put protestors — including the elderly or young children, journalists and bystanders — at risk of injury or even death. Lederman reported that two people, one of them a photographer, were struck with rubber bullets during the protest Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve also seen quite a bit of use of the impact munitions, like the large rubber bullets and other munitions that are fired from a gun or launcher,” Lederman said. “Those aren’t supposed to be fired into the crowds either because of the serious risk of hitting an innocent person. And they’re supposed to only be aimed at safe or target areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s crowd-control policy requires the department to use minimal physical force when controlling an assembly — whether lawful or unlawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Occupy protests in 2014, Oakland police shot a non-lethal projectile that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/130079/iraq-vet-scott-olsen-settles-occupy-suit-against-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">struck an Iraq war veteran\u003c/a> in the head, causing permanent brain damage.

Oakland has been reviewing and re-examining all of its use-of-force policies under the leadership of our Citizen Police Commission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Wednesday, three Oakland City Council members \u003ca href=\"https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:a304ee9c-af11-443c-964f-2c7cee95cb2d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">urged Schaaf\u003c/a> and law enforcement to halt the use of tear gas on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Council President Rebecca Kaplan said she’s received complaints that tear gas has crept into residential homes, hurting elderly residents and people uninvolved in the demonstrations. She also criticized the department for pushing protesters into small business districts like Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the purpose of the police is not to serve and protect the communities then what is their purpose?” Kaplan said. “If they are making things worse for small businesses like those in Chinatown, then what is their goal?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Rebecca Kaplan, Oakland City Council president\"]“Tear gas cannot be aimed. If you have a group of people doing nothing wrong and one or two that are doing something wrong, you can’t solve that with tear gas.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaplan also said that the use of tear gas could increase the risk of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11822442/four-bay-area-cities-have-used-tear-gas-heres-how-it-makes-covid-19-worse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spreading the coronavirus\u003c/a>, because protesters may be forced to remove masks that have been contaminated with tear gas chemicals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infectious disease experts, including UCSF professor Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, have called for police departments to stop using tear gas during the current public health pandemic. Getting tear gassed increases the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19, as well as the risk of spreading it, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If somebody has COVID-19 and they get tear gassed, they’re going to be coughing more. They’re going to be spitting more. They’re going to be shouting more in pain … so that’s one risk,” Chin-Hong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other risk is that tear gas could degrade the lungs and make a protester more susceptible to coronavirus infection down the line, he added.

Lederman reported that two people, one of them a photographer, were struck with rubber bullets during the protest Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve also seen quite a bit of use of the impact munitions, like the large rubber bullets and other munitions that are fired from a gun or launcher,” Lederman said. “Those aren’t supposed to be fired into the crowds either because of the serious risk of hitting an innocent person. And they’re supposed to only be aimed at safe or target areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s crowd-control policy requires the department to use minimal physical force when controlling an assembly — whether lawful or unlawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Occupy protests in 2014, Oakland police shot a non-lethal projectile that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/130079/iraq-vet-scott-olsen-settles-occupy-suit-against-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">struck an Iraq war veteran\u003c/a> in the head, causing permanent brain damage.
