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

At one point in the video, the man gives his first name as \"Steve.\" The principal officer in the case, identified by his nameplate as D. McCormick, later refers to the man as \"Mr. Foster.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The platform video begins after McCormick had made contact with the man. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN§ionNum=640\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">California law\u003c/a> makes it an infraction to eat or drink \"in or on a (transit) system facility or vehicle in areas where those activities are prohibited by that system.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're eating,\" the officer says, restraining the man by holding his backpack. \"So what?\" the man replies. \"It's against the law. ... It's a violation of California law. I have the right to detain you,\" the officer says. \"No you don't,\" the man responds. \"Can you please let my backpack go?\" A moment later, the officer calls for backup and tells the man he's \"going to jail\" for resisting arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ToneOliver/status/1192863750040109056\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/7husal0t7/videos/pcb.2520780144653829/2520765981321912/?type=3&theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">longer version of the footage\u003c/a>, on Facebook, shows the dispute continuing for more than seven minutes before other officers arrive. At one point, after McCormick had asked for the man's name, the man bursts out with a series of homophobic slurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've missed two trains because of your old faggot ass,\" he says. \"You f___in' fag.

While walking down the platform, he said, he encountered the man eating the sandwich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So you decided to forget about the bitch that's drunk and wanted to f__k with him for eating a sandwich?\" the woman asks. \"... So you decided to turn and focus on the black guy eating a sandwich?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was directly in front of me, and I simply asked him, 'Hey, there's no eating on BART,' \" McCormick says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART said in a tweet that \"no matter how you feel about eating on BART, the officer saw someone eating and asked him to stop, when he didn't he was given a citation.\" The agency said the man was handcuffed after he initially refused to provide his name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SFBART/status/1192898150744215552\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trost said the man was cited for an alleged violation of state \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN§ionNum=640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">penal code section 640(b)(1)\u003c/a>, which allows transit agencies to prohibit eating or drinking on trains and in stations. The maximum penalty for a first-time violation is $250 or 48 hours of community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's independent police auditor, Russell Bloom, said his office is collecting evidence on the incident before deciding whether to launch a formal investigation. The evidence includes video from social media and footage from cameras at the station and officers' body cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although frequent BART patrons can testify that eating and drinking on trains and station platforms is an everyday occurrence, citations for eating or drinking in the system's paid areas appear to be exceedingly rare. Trost said it would take a California Public Records Act request to produce a number of cited eating or drinking offenses, but added \"we do enforce and if an officer sees someone eating they issue a citation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/It-s-really-hard-to-get-fined-by-BART-for-bad-11821144.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An SFGATE inquiry\u003c/a> into the issue a couple of years ago found that the agency issued 11 eating/drinking citations in the final nine months of 2016, equivalent to one every 8 million rides.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But she doesn’t have much to say about her sudden celebrity.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For the details, let’s turn to Vanessa Gilliam, a muscle therapist, theatrical stagehand and bartender and Sweets’ trainer, who introduced the Horse of the Hour and a stablemate at their leafy corral in the Solano County hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/rodrlou/status/1191817989747699712\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam says the path that led to Tuesday’s Oakland-San Francisco round trip started as serendipity: After seeing a Netflix documentary on dogs earlier this year, she started thinking about working with service animals. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several days later she saw \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2246175798768454&id=191085114277543&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARCETl8MVmIsXvkLyL6KbAvdwpdsNWweupRLpHHk2mw18n_G-AGpa33XqHQwnaQsGiYc9qenWW5Vjfv7n0VKIXWaXdapmbpYReQRiHQ9KR-aAaBNfrHO6HM4_T0s3kmk6naxsvxYtklK_GiwwPaQXCmo_YBSRquggJbY5FcWHusoLRzRPdaOBkgMZ7XAJNSstRqi7pN82evqe4SIxT3oBx0kVN_9Zvj9Io7QExsTl5oTxJHoKL1YqeC7eTAFhj-MeO4sn4BT3UTvI8LOKwOAxhhFQVXJQaacwfJ-DutndSbSP8xuYjRihFa-N3sRL52Aqwpn0TJm0JznXNEOGNixsyBcPQ&__tn__=-R\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an online post\u003c/a> from a friend who runs a horse rescue ranch in Monterey County. The friend was in the process of bringing more than 30 miniature horses seized in \u003ca href=\"https://abc13.com/pets-animals/nearly-300-dogs-and-mini-horses-rescued-in-grimes-county/3974589/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a Texas hoarding case\u003c/a> to California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam, who had run her own equine and canine rescue program near San Luis Obispo before moving to the Bay Area, knew that miniature horses qualified as service animals under the Americans With Disabilities Act. That history and the sudden appearance of a herd of tiny horses at her friend’s ranch gave her an idea. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought, ‘Hey, miniature horses are ADA compliant, so let’s go pick some out and give it a whirl,’ ” Gilliam said. She wound up adopting two minis, as the small horses are often called: a 9-year-old chocolate brown gelding she named Cuzzi and a 4-year-old pinto mare she called Sweets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She started training the horses in March, a difficult process for animals coming from a situation in which they had been neglected. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuzzi — the name rhymes with Suzie — was sociable from the beginning, Gilliam says. Sweets “took a lot longer to warm up.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would go in her stall, and she would run to the back of it, and we had to work on, ‘Hey, you can trust me, I’m OK, I’m not going to hurt you,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785500\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-800x592.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"592\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11785500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-800x592.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-160x118.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-1020x754.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-1200x887.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sweets, the celebrated transit-riding miniature horse, and her trainer, Vanessa Gilliam. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gilliam says Cuzzi is probably unsuited to become a service animal. He’s friendly enough, but he tends to be skittish in unfamiliar situations. For instance, when Gilliam and a friend took the horses on an outing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We tried taking them to the movies — ‘The Lion King,’ which is, ironically, really kind of hilarious,” she said. “But his nerves were too much, so we stayed for two previews and then left. You don’t know how they’re going to act until you take them to that situation. You prepare them as best you can at home by throwing everything you can at them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How exactly did Cuzzi exhibit nerves? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lots of defecating,” Gilliam said. “Every boom and light flash, he got startled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, Sweets was so calm at the theater that she appeared ready to fall asleep. Gilliam says that’s one of the horse’s characteristics that made it plausible to her take on a more challenging adventure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Service ponies need to be able to go into heavily populated areas, ride on public transportation and aid people,” Gilliam said. She describes Sweets’ work role, when she’s ready to take it on, as being “a mobility support animal — trained to help people getting around.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miniature horses appear to have debuted as service animals in the United States about 20 years ago. That’s when a North Carolina horse trainer and a visually impaired Maine client \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-mar-21-cl-40402-story.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">made headlines\u003c/a> when they took a miniature horse named Cuddles on a trip that involved airline flights and riding Atlanta’s MARTA transit system. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The client in that case, Dan Shaw, said one of the reasons he thought he’d prefer a mini horse to a dog as a service animal was its lifespan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Horses live 35 to 40 years,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I’m an animal lover. To lose a dog after eight to 10 years, and then have another to train, and have to do that three or four times in my lifetime … that’s painful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam says horses have a vision advantage over dogs, too. Their eyes, positioned on the sides of their heads, give them a 350-degree field of vision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She believes equines are fundamentally different from canines in another important way, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are prey animals, where dogs are predators,” she said. “That means they are going to be more alert to potential dangers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armed with those qualities, and eminently intelligent and trainable, miniature horses now appear more often as service animals — on \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/american-airlines-passenger-takes-horse-service-animal-flight-2019-9\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">planes\u003c/a>, on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnQ3YbdI2nc\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">trains\u003c/a> and in \u003ca href=\"https://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/os-ae-service-horse-florida-restaurant-20180619-story.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">restaurants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now on BART. Gilliam says that Tuesday trip had a couple of goals. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had just bought a new set of tennis shoes for her, and we were just testing out her maneuverability in her new sneakers,” she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was a bigger aim, for both horse and trainer, than trying out new shoes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole experience was about trust,” Gilliam said. “How much does she trust us? How comfortable is she? How can we manage her stress? How can we expose her to things and make it not stressful next time?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How did the journey unfold? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam says she and a friend drove the 200-pound Sweets in a minivan from her barn near Fairfield to MacArthur BART in Oakland. Unable to find parking there after the morning rush hour, they drove to the Rockridge Station and parked nearby. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From there, they brought Sweets up to the fare gate and then to the platform on the station elevators. They immediately drew the attention of both BART employees and patrons, whom Gilliam says were overwhelmingly curious and friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leg one of the trip was from Rockridge to Montgomery Station in downtown San Francisco. After doing an errand there, Gilliam, Sweets and friend strolled down Market Street to BART’s Embarcadero Station for the ride back to Oakland. Back at Rockridge, Sweets tried something new, leaving the station via the down escalator. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trip wasn’t problem-free.

The friend was in the process of bringing more than 30 miniature horses seized in \u003ca href=\"https://abc13.com/pets-animals/nearly-300-dogs-and-mini-horses-rescued-in-grimes-county/3974589/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a Texas hoarding case\u003c/a> to California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam, who had run her own equine and canine rescue program near San Luis Obispo before moving to the Bay Area, knew that miniature horses qualified as service animals under the Americans With Disabilities Act. That history and the sudden appearance of a herd of tiny horses at her friend’s ranch gave her an idea. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought, ‘Hey, miniature horses are ADA compliant, so let’s go pick some out and give it a whirl,’ ” Gilliam said. She wound up adopting two minis, as the small horses are often called: a 9-year-old chocolate brown gelding she named Cuzzi and a 4-year-old pinto mare she called Sweets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She started training the horses in March, a difficult process for animals coming from a situation in which they had been neglected. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuzzi — the name rhymes with Suzie — was sociable from the beginning, Gilliam says. Sweets “took a lot longer to warm up.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would go in her stall, and she would run to the back of it, and we had to work on, ‘Hey, you can trust me, I’m OK, I’m not going to hurt you,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785500\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-800x592.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"592\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11785500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-800x592.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-160x118.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-1020x754.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d-1200x887.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106d.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sweets, the celebrated transit-riding miniature horse, and her trainer, Vanessa Gilliam. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gilliam says Cuzzi is probably unsuited to become a service animal. He’s friendly enough, but he tends to be skittish in unfamiliar situations. For instance, when Gilliam and a friend took the horses on an outing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We tried taking them to the movies — ‘The Lion King,’ which is, ironically, really kind of hilarious,” she said. “But his nerves were too much, so we stayed for two previews and then left. You don’t know how they’re going to act until you take them to that situation. You prepare them as best you can at home by throwing everything you can at them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How exactly did Cuzzi exhibit nerves? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lots of defecating,” Gilliam said. “Every boom and light flash, he got startled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, Sweets was so calm at the theater that she appeared ready to fall asleep. Gilliam says that’s one of the horse’s characteristics that made it plausible to her take on a more challenging adventure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Service ponies need to be able to go into heavily populated areas, ride on public transportation and aid people,” Gilliam said. She describes Sweets’ work role, when she’s ready to take it on, as being “a mobility support animal — trained to help people getting around.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miniature horses appear to have debuted as service animals in the United States about 20 years ago. That’s when a North Carolina horse trainer and a visually impaired Maine client \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-mar-21-cl-40402-story.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">made headlines\u003c/a> when they took a miniature horse named Cuddles on a trip that involved airline flights and riding Atlanta’s MARTA transit system. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The client in that case, Dan Shaw, said one of the reasons he thought he’d prefer a mini horse to a dog as a service animal was its lifespan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Horses live 35 to 40 years,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I’m an animal lover. To lose a dog after eight to 10 years, and then have another to train, and have to do that three or four times in my lifetime … that’s painful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam says horses have a vision advantage over dogs, too. Their eyes, positioned on the sides of their heads, give them a 350-degree field of vision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She believes equines are fundamentally different from canines in another important way, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are prey animals, where dogs are predators,” she said. “That means they are going to be more alert to potential dangers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armed with those qualities, and eminently intelligent and trainable, miniature horses now appear more often as service animals — on \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/american-airlines-passenger-takes-horse-service-animal-flight-2019-9\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">planes\u003c/a>, on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnQ3YbdI2nc\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">trains\u003c/a> and in \u003ca href=\"https://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/os-ae-service-horse-florida-restaurant-20180619-story.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">restaurants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now on BART. Gilliam says that Tuesday trip had a couple of goals. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had just bought a new set of tennis shoes for her, and we were just testing out her maneuverability in her new sneakers,” she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was a bigger aim, for both horse and trainer, than trying out new shoes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole experience was about trust,” Gilliam said. “How much does she trust us? How comfortable is she? How can we manage her stress? How can we expose her to things and make it not stressful next time?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How did the journey unfold? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam says she and a friend drove the 200-pound Sweets in a minivan from her barn near Fairfield to MacArthur BART in Oakland. Unable to find parking there after the morning rush hour, they drove to the Rockridge Station and parked nearby. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From there, they brought Sweets up to the fare gate and then to the platform on the station elevators. They immediately drew the attention of both BART employees and patrons, whom Gilliam says were overwhelmingly curious and friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leg one of the trip was from Rockridge to Montgomery Station in downtown San Francisco. After doing an errand there, Gilliam, Sweets and friend strolled down Market Street to BART’s Embarcadero Station for the ride back to Oakland. Back at Rockridge, Sweets tried something new, leaving the station via the down escalator. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trip wasn’t problem-free. Under federal \u003ca href=\"https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ADA regulations\u003c/a>, the No. 1 requirement for miniature horses working as service animals is that they be housebroken. And Sweets didn’t pass that test Tuesday, defecating on both train trips and peeing while riding on a BART elevator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785504\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-800x607.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"607\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11785504\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-800x607.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-160x121.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-1020x774.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-1200x911.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vanessa Gilliam and Sweets, the rescued miniature horse she’s been training for work as a service animal.
