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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Among the tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters who continue to pour into the streets of cities across the country — and the world — decrying America's long history of violent, racially unjust policing, one rallying cry has gained particular traction: 'Defund the police.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what that actually means varies widely depending on who you ask, from dismantling or flat-out abolishing existing police forces to slashing their hefty budgets and diverting those funds to social service programs, which proponents say would much better serve and protect many communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadly speaking, 'defunding the police' entails minimizing the outsize role law enforcement has come to assume in most U.S. cities as the default responder for all matters of complaints, and delegating many of those responsibilities to unarmed social workers and other behavioral health specialists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we talk about defunding the police, what we’re saying is, ‘Invest in the resources that our communities need,'” Black Lives Matter co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/5NrRIIeNFfo\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alicia Garza said recently on NBC’s “Meet the Press.\"\u003c/a> So much police response, she added, “is directed toward quality-of-life issues, homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence and conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local leaders scramble to institute police reforms — from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823629/california-legislative-leaders-back-state-sleeper-hold-ban\">banning chokeholds\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824453/state-attorney-general-calls-for-a-way-to-ban-problem-cops-other-police-reforms\">heightening accountability\u003c/a> — many activists argue those tweaks won’t ultimately fix a system they consider fundamentally unjust. Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Pricey Business\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since the 1970s, when tough-on-crime policies took hold, most U.S. cities have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/06/12/upshot/cities-grew-safer-police-budgets-kept-growing.html\">funneled an increasingly large share of their budgets\u003c/a> into public safety, often at the expense of social service and anti-poverty programs. And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"police-violence\"]At a recent forum in Oakland on policing and racism, Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/09/gov-newsom-holds-meeting-on-racism-and-system-injustices-in-oakland-visits-miss-ollies/\">tiptoed around the issue\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re calling for eliminating police, no,” he said. “If you’re talking about reimagining and taking the opportunity to look at the responsibility and role that we place on law enforcement to be social workers, mental health workers, get involved in disputes where a badge and a gun are unnecessary, then I think absolutely this is an opportunity to look at all of the above.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, city leaders are beginning to propose policing reforms of various size and scope. None, though, has yet acceded to protesters' demands to completely dismantle or defund entire departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is the latest on what top local officials have so far proposed in the region's three largest cities, each of which has had its own troubling history of policing in Black and brown communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>SFPD budget (2019-20): \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/sites/default/files/CSF_Budget_Book_June_2019_Final_Web_REV2.pdf\">$695.7 million\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSworn officers: 2,260\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update: On July 31, San Francisco Mayor London Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831527/sf-mayor-breeds-new-budget-would-redirect-120-million-from-police-to-citys-black-community\">unveiled a proposed budget\u003c/a> that includes pulling $120 million dollars from law enforcement agencies and putting it into programs that support the city’s largely underserved Black community. The previous month, 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>, revise its accountability and anti-bias practices and stop using military-grade equipment.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite pressure from activists on the street, Breed made clear she has no intention of dismantling the city's police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"San Francisco Mayor London Breed\"]'Completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.'[/pullquote]“I think it's understandable that people are feeling that way, but the fact is you have people who kill people, you have people who rob people and commit really horrible acts. And in those particular cases, there is a very strong need for law enforcement,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823865/london-breed-on-racism-i-have-lived-this-my-whole-life\">Breed recently told KQED's Scott Shafer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's important that our policies are adjusted and that we work to make our department better. And that definitely takes time. But to completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, however, Breed — who as mayor has consistently supported increasing SFPD's budget — proposed a set of major reforms that could transform San Francisco's on-the-ground policing operations. Most notably, SFPD \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\">will no longer respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, such as neighbor disputes, behavioral health crises and school discipline interventions. For calls that don't involve a threat to public safety, officers would be replaced by trained, unarmed social workers and behavioral health professionals, who Breed said are better equipped to de-escalate conflicts and limit unnecessary confrontations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11824152 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS5487_alt_297-1020x765.jpg']“We know that a lack of equity in our society overall leads to a lot of the problems that police are being asked to solve,” Breed said in a statement. “We are going to keep pushing for additional reforms and continue to find ways to reinvest in communities that have historically been underserved and harmed by systemic racism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed additionally proposed strengthening police accountability and anti-bias policies, and banning the department's use of military-grade weapons. She also joined Supervisor Shamann Walton in calling to divert an unspecified amount of funding from SFPD's budget to support programs in the city's African American community as a reparation for city policies that led to “decades of disinvestment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While few details about that plan have been given, Walton \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2020/06/san-francisco-police-chief-bill-scott-open-to-defunding-police-department/#:~:text=The%20chief%2C%20who%20oversees%20a,to%20be%20done%20%E2%80%9Cthoughtfully.%E2%80%9D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told Mission Local\u003c/a> he wanted to see “at least $25 million” redirected from the police department “if we are really trying to change some of the systemic issues oppressing Black people here in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed's reform proposals don’t include a budget or specifics, but are rather intended as a set of guidelines for the city's Police Commission and other city agencies to map out over the coming year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott recently said he was \"open\" to defunding a portion of his own department, as long as it's done \"thoughtfully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re at a time in policing in this country where the whole world is speaking to us and we need to hear what’s being said,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Defund-San-Francisco-police-Chief-Bill-Scott-15328129.php\">Chief Scott said\u003c/a> during a panel hosted by the Alice B.

City leaders pledged to reallocate those savings to fund alternative safety measures, including the creation of a non-police unit to respond to some 911 mental health crisis calls. The city also plans to convene a committee tasked with shifting public safety resources from enforcement to prevention services, with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2020/oaklands-mid-cycle-budget-cuts-14-3-million-from-police-budget-invests-additional-50-million-to-address-racial-disparities\">eventual stated goal\u003c/a> of reducing OPD's budget by 50%. Although a nod to activists' defunding demands, the new budget fell far short of the more substantial cuts that many are demanding.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top officials in Oakland have so far mostly supported leaving the Oakland Police Department’s hefty budget largely intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf\"]'I do not believe we need to defund in order to invest in ... community priorities.'[/pullquote]During Mayor Libby Schaaf's \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MayorLibbySchaaf/videos/596597447632290/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">virtual town hall\u003c/a> on \"structural racism and police reform\" last week, just a day after \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2020/06/11/de-fund-the-police-protesters-march-to-oakland-mayors-house\">thousands of protesters showed up outside her house\u003c/a> demanding she defund the police department, she acknowledged the need for major changes in the city's policing model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's a growing schism around what safety means,” Schaaf said. “Many people feel police are here to protect and serve,” she said. ”But for a growing number of people, particularly people of color, police do not invoke a sense of safety.

The city's police officers responded to over 100,000 calls last year, she noted, and have been instrumental in saving lives, preventing crime and bringing justice to victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a moment where we can continue to see this divide, or choose a third story, where government intervention and armed response is no longer necessary,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf also touted her current budget proposal — one submitted before Floyd's death — as a step in the right direction. It would cut about $5 million from the police department, reflecting citywide reductions due to the coronavirus economic fallout, but add roughly $22 million to programs supporting affordable housing, homelessness services and job training, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not believe we need to defund in order to invest in these community priorities,\" Schaaf said. \"That is what this budget does.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/defund-the-police-what-does-mean-oakland-department-mayor/6241314/\">interview last week with ABC7\u003c/a>, she added, \"We also must invest, not divest in training and holding accountable our officers, to make sure they are policing without any bias, without any unnecessary force, that they are conducting themselves in the ways that are consistent with our progressive values in Oakland, that requires investment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While offering little in the way of specifics, Schaaf suggested the need to invest in more \"non-law enforcement methods of safety,\" akin to Breed's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is definitely room to create more responses that don't involve a gun or a badge,\" she said, noting a \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/7/1/20677523/mental-health-police-cahoots-oregon-oakland-sweden\">program in Eugene, Oregon\u003c/a> that dispatches mobile crisis response teams, not law enforcement, to handle about 20% of all 911 calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Oakland City Councilwoman Nikki Fortunato Bas is taking a tack more in-line with protesters' demands, proposing Oakland divert some of the $300 million it spends on its police department to other social services and crisis responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, Bas said $25 million of the police budget should fund trained mediators and social service programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In places like Oakland, where we've been under a negotiated settlement agreement to get to constitutional policing, and we have not achieved that in 17 years, I think the time for reform is over,” she said. “We have to rethink how we get to safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11823933 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43611_020_KQED_HalfMoonBay_OxMountainLandfill_05292020-qut-1020x679.jpg']And last week, the Oakland Unified School District \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823933/plans-to-scrap-school-police-backed-by-oakland-education-leaders\">got one step closer\u003c/a> to dismantling its internal police force after OUSD Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell announced her support for a proposal put forward by two school board members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am recommending that we move forward to create a district-wide safety plan to ensure safe, healthy and positive school environments for students and adults without a school district police department,\" Johnson-Trammell said during a virtual school board meeting. “Together, we can reimagine how to keep our schools safe, healthy and welcoming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists led by the group Black Organizing Project have been pushing to dissolve the OUSD police department since 2011, when a school district police sergeant \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/1-million-deal-in-shooting-by-Oakland-schools-cop-4872706.php\">shot and killed Raheim Brown\u003c/a>, a 20-year-old Black man, in the passenger seat of a car parked near Skyline High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the proposal argue the cash-strapped district should redirect its police budget to hire more school social workers, psychologists and restorative justice practitioners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an opportunity “to redefine community safety in our schools, to reinvest in our schools, to reinvest in our students and to be a model for this entire country of what is possible,” BOP director Jackie Byers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Jose\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>SJPD budget (2019-20): \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=58414\">$464.5 million\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSworn officers: 959\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters also recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/12/police-violence-protesters-gather-outside-san-jose-mayors-house/\">paid a visit\u003c/a> to San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo's house, similarly calling for him to defund the city's police department.

Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The complaint says that Carrillo fired a “privately made” AR-15-style rifle through the open door at the guard post where Underwood and his partner were located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After shooting the two officers, Justus told agents, Carrillo “said words to the effect of, ‘Did you see how they fucking fell?'” The complaint says Justus described Carrillo as being “excited and thrilled after the shooting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justus told agents that he was an unwilling participant in the attack but stayed with Carrillo because he felt “trapped.” The complaint says that when an agent pointed out that Justus had gotten out of the van and that he could have walked away at that point, he responded “that he … was trying to think of ways to talk Carrillo out of his plan. Justus said Carrillo expressed an interest multiple times in shooting a helicopter, police officers and civilians, but that Justus talked him out of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justus faces charges of aiding and abetting murder and attempted murder of federal officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The criminal complaint quotes several social media posts Carrillo made in the 48 hours before the attack suggesting he intended to target federal officers. Those posts included a Facebook comment on the morning of the attack that urged people to take advantage of the protests responding to Floyd’s killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Go to the riots and support our own cause,” the complaint quotes Carrillo as saying. “Show them the real targets. Use their anger to fuel our fire. … We have mobs of angry people to use to our advantage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrillo’s attorney, Jeffrey Stotter, did not immediately respond to a telephone message seeking comment. \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/12/santa-cruz-deputy-killing-defense-lawyer-says-steven-carrillo-suffered-traumatic-brain-injury/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stotter said\u003c/a> after a court hearing last week that Carrillo suffers from a non-service-related traumatic brain injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint indicates that investigators connected Carrillo to the Oakland attack only after the June 6 fatal shooting of Santa Cruz County sheriff’s Sgt.

"content": "\u003cp>Jaime Juanillo was not looking to ‘out’ a white woman for making racist remarks last Thursday. In other words, he wasn’t looking to catch a ‘Karen.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(That’s a term often used to describe white women, specifically, who call police to punish Black people and people of color generally while they’re enjoying everyday activities — like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13832886/were-still-here-bbqn-while-black-draws-out-oaklanders-in-force\">barbecuing\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11676866/permit-patty-goes-viral-after-threatening-to-call-cops-on-girl-selling-water-in-san-francisco\">running a lemonade stand\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/26/862838384/an-avid-birder-talks-about-a-conflict-in-central-park-he-taped-and-went-viral\">bird-watching\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when a woman named Lisa Alexander and her husband \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Feud-over-Black-Lives-Matter-stencil-erupts-in-15338715.php\">accused Juanillo of a crime\u003c/a> for stenciling the words Black Lives Matter with chalk on the retaining wall outside his own home in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, he was ready with his cellphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Respectfully,” Alexander can be seen telling Juanillo in his video, “absolutely your [Black Lives Matter] signs and everything, that’s good, but this is not the way to do it. It’s private property.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes it was: Juanillo’s property. But, he maintains, being a man of color, Alexander likely assumed he did not live in the expensive home they were standing in front of. She called the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/jaimetoons/status/1271300265170186240?s=19\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo said in the predominantly wealthy, predominantly white Pacific Heights neighborhood, “It’s not unusual at all for me to get a look like, ‘Do you belong here?’” Juanillo, a Filipino man, has lived with his husband in Pacific Heights for 18 years where he runs a small dog walking business called Pack Heights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video interaction Juanillo recorded with Alexander has since gone viral, and been viewed more than 13 million times. The beauty subscription service Birchbox has cut ties with Alexander’s skincare company LAFACE, and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LuzPenaABC7/status/1272258758207397888?s=19\">she has since issued a public apology, \u003c/a>saying “I should have minded my own business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LuzPenaABC7/status/1272258758207397888?s=19\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did not realize at the time my actions were racist and have learned a painful lesson,” Alexander wrote. Her husband, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ktvu.com/news/man-fired-for-confrontation-with-sf-neighbor-over-black-lives-matter-message\">identified by KTVU as Robert Larkins\u003c/a>, was \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RaymondJames/status/1272479037642899457?s=20\">fired from financial firm Raymond James\u003c/a> early Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED caught up with Juanillo and asked him to break down, in his own words, how he mentally prepared for the fraught interaction: one that’s at the forefront of conversations on race, police and freedom of speech in the U.S. right now.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Jaime Juanillo on Handling (and Filming) a ‘Karen’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Realizing He Was Right\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nHow did Juanillo maintain his composure throughout the entire “frustrating” experience? He said he knew he had a right to be there — but more than that, he immediately suspected the intentions of Alexander and Larkins had more to do with race than with the chalk itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lisa and Robert knew it was chalk art, and that it was going to be washed away in the first rain,” Juanillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if the chalk wasn’t their problem, he believed their problem must have been in the Black Lives Matter message itself. “And once I knew that,” he said, “I can act how I needed to act. It was simple after that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo added, “They’re wrong. And they rode that racial bias all the way off a cliff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Knowing the Power of Video\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nFrom a chilling eye-witness view of George Floyd’s killing at the hands of Minneapolis police and Eric Garner’s killing by New York police, to a New York woman’s dangerous promise to falsely claim a Black man was threatening her in a confrontation in Central Park, video has provided evidence of how racism pervades the lives of Black Americans and other people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Juanillo outside his own home in San Francisco, it was no different. He argued that showing the world the every day, more subtle racist conflicts can prove to white people that they even exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If enough people see incidents like this, then maybe people will actually think about it and change their behavior,” Juanillo said. And, he added, contrary to critiques he received on Twitter, arguing would \u003cem>not\u003c/em> have helped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you really think they’re going to believe me if I point out a $10 million house and say I live there?” Juanillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Knowledge Beats Ignorance\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n“She kind of said this very clearly, placating, condescending, speaking-to-a-fifth-grader tone. And that’s what I responded to,” Juanillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is his home city, his home turf. He knew he had a right to be here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo is originally from the Philippines and has lived in San Francisco since childhood, attending St. Ignatius College Preparatory High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was armed with more knowledge, too: He knew he had lived in that Pacific Heights house for 18 years. Juanillo and his husband had even been married in that backyard. He knew his neighbors “all recognize and love me.” And he even knew the police officers who eventually pulled up to respond to Alexander’s phone call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the police come up the hill and they make a big show of pulling their patrol car into my driveway,” Juanillo said. “I recognize the police officer and he recognizes me. And I yell out to him, I’m like, ‘are you responding to a Black Lives Matter call?’ And I’m like, I did that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo points to his chalk stencil. “I’m all proud of it and stuff. And the police officer goes, ‘Oh, hey, you live here!’” He recalled how the officer calmly — cheerfully, even — said, “‘Great stenciling work!’” before driving off. No request for ID. No face to the concrete. Not even a solitary siren shriek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo had in fact spoken to many neighborhood cops outside his home after an emergency at his neighbor’s house last year. “Lisa didn’t know that about me. She didn’t know that calling the police would probably result in a whole lot of nothing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t erase the gravity of what she was \u003cem>trying\u003c/em> to do, he said. “You can presume that she knew by calling the police that I could possibly die. She was OK with that,” Juanillo said. “Even knowing that I was just working with chalk, she’s willing to call men with guns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Extending the Olive Branch \u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nAfter all was said and done, Juanillo went back to his home, stood at his living room window, and knocked on the glass loudly enough to grab the attention of Lisa Alexander and her companion, Robert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was ready to accept their apology and not post the video that went viral, Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No such luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The look on their faces was total mortification,” Juanillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/birchbox/status/1271846464268972032?s=19\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They then ran — down, down, down the hill toward the Marina District. Juanillo went ahead and posted the video of their earlier interaction to Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they had come up to my door and they had apologized, I would have accepted it, not posted this. And they could have kept their businesses and lives intact,” Juanillo said. “It was all up to them: Action after action after action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pushing for Progress\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Juanillo said that despite the actions of the two people he recorded Saturday, he still believes his neighborhood has moral fiber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After taking heat for stenciling Black Lives Matter on his own retaining wall, Juanillo said, “I can tell you from my Nextdoor and Facebook responses my neighbors will start doing the same next week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I might have been the first,” he said, “but I’m not going to be the last.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In other words, he wasn’t looking to catch a ‘Karen.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(That’s a term often used to describe white women, specifically, who call police to punish Black people and people of color generally while they’re enjoying everyday activities — like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13832886/were-still-here-bbqn-while-black-draws-out-oaklanders-in-force\">barbecuing\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11676866/permit-patty-goes-viral-after-threatening-to-call-cops-on-girl-selling-water-in-san-francisco\">running a lemonade stand\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/26/862838384/an-avid-birder-talks-about-a-conflict-in-central-park-he-taped-and-went-viral\">bird-watching\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when a woman named Lisa Alexander and her husband \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Feud-over-Black-Lives-Matter-stencil-erupts-in-15338715.php\">accused Juanillo of a crime\u003c/a> for stenciling the words Black Lives Matter with chalk on the retaining wall outside his own home in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, he was ready with his cellphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Respectfully,” Alexander can be seen telling Juanillo in his video, “absolutely your [Black Lives Matter] signs and everything, that’s good, but this is not the way to do it. It’s private property.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes it was: Juanillo’s property. But, he maintains, being a man of color, Alexander likely assumed he did not live in the expensive home they were standing in front of. She called the police.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said he knew he had a right to be there — but more than that, he immediately suspected the intentions of Alexander and Larkins had more to do with race than with the chalk itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lisa and Robert knew it was chalk art, and that it was going to be washed away in the first rain,” Juanillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if the chalk wasn’t their problem, he believed their problem must have been in the Black Lives Matter message itself. “And once I knew that,” he said, “I can act how I needed to act. It was simple after that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo added, “They’re wrong. And they rode that racial bias all the way off a cliff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Knowing the Power of Video\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nFrom a chilling eye-witness view of George Floyd’s killing at the hands of Minneapolis police and Eric Garner’s killing by New York police, to a New York woman’s dangerous promise to falsely claim a Black man was threatening her in a confrontation in Central Park, video has provided evidence of how racism pervades the lives of Black Americans and other people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Juanillo outside his own home in San Francisco, it was no different. He argued that showing the world the every day, more subtle racist conflicts can prove to white people that they even exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If enough people see incidents like this, then maybe people will actually think about it and change their behavior,” Juanillo said. And, he added, contrary to critiques he received on Twitter, arguing would \u003cem>not\u003c/em> have helped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you really think they’re going to believe me if I point out a $10 million house and say I live there?” Juanillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Knowledge Beats Ignorance\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n“She kind of said this very clearly, placating, condescending, speaking-to-a-fifth-grader tone. And that’s what I responded to,” Juanillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is his home city, his home turf. He knew he had a right to be here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo is originally from the Philippines and has lived in San Francisco since childhood, attending St. Ignatius College Preparatory High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was armed with more knowledge, too: He knew he had lived in that Pacific Heights house for 18 years. Juanillo and his husband had even been married in that backyard. He knew his neighbors “all recognize and love me.” And he even knew the police officers who eventually pulled up to respond to Alexander’s phone call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the police come up the hill and they make a big show of pulling their patrol car into my driveway,” Juanillo said. “I recognize the police officer and he recognizes me. And I yell out to him, I’m like, ‘are you responding to a Black Lives Matter call?’ And I’m like, I did that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo points to his chalk stencil. “I’m all proud of it and stuff. And the police officer goes, ‘Oh, hey, you live here!’” He recalled how the officer calmly — cheerfully, even — said, “‘Great stenciling work!’” before driving off. No request for ID. No face to the concrete. Not even a solitary siren shriek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juanillo had in fact spoken to many neighborhood cops outside his home after an emergency at his neighbor’s house last year. “Lisa didn’t know that about me. She didn’t know that calling the police would probably result in a whole lot of nothing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t erase the gravity of what she was \u003cem>trying\u003c/em> to do, he said. “You can presume that she knew by calling the police that I could possibly die. She was OK with that,” Juanillo said. “Even knowing that I was just working with chalk, she’s willing to call men with guns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Extending the Olive Branch \u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nAfter all was said and done, Juanillo went back to his home, stood at his living room window, and knocked on the glass loudly enough to grab the attention of Lisa Alexander and her companion, Robert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was ready to accept their apology and not post the video that went viral, Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No such luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The look on their faces was total mortification,” Juanillo said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The 24-year-old’s death was deemed a likely suicide based on preliminary findings, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/LosAngelesCountySheriffsDepartment/posts/3649520038408216\">Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Fuller’s family and supporters are pushing back against the department’s assessment, saying his death appears to be a lynching. A growing number of residents and officials in Los Angeles County are demanding answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state attorney general’s office and the FBI’s Civil Rights Division will oversee the investigation into Fuller’s death, which is being led by the Los Angeles County sheriff’s homicide bureau, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coroner’s office has completed an autopsy but is awaiting toxicology results, Dr. Jonathan Lucas said. Investigators are also looking at Fuller’s medical history. Homicide detectives plan to analyze the rope and its knot, canvass the area for video footage, interview Fuller’s social services case worker and speak to anyone who had recently interacted with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are also seeking to meet with Fuller’s family, authorities said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuller’s death came 10 days after another black man was found hanging from a tree about 50 miles away in Victorville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, the state Senate began its session with a moment of silence for Fuller and Malcolm Harsch. The death of Harsch, the 38-year-old black man who was found on May 31, came to light after Fuller’s case.
