She has testified in a separate \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/29/former-contra-costa-sheriffs-deputy-to-stand-trial-in-sexual-exploitation-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">criminal case\u003c/a> that she began work in the sex trade at age 12, and she appears to be a victim of child sex trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her attorney, John Burris, named current Richmond Police Chief Allwyn Brown, former Chief Chris Magnus and Lt. Brian Dickerson as defendants for what he says was a failure to supervise and stop sexual misconduct on the part of at least five other Richmond police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our claim is really not just against the officers themselves, but what the officers were allowed to do on the part of people who were in a position to stop this conduct but did not do so at an earlier point,\" Burris said at a Friday news conference announcing the lawsuit, which was filed on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond City Manager Bill Lindsay declined to comment on the active litigation, and Chief Brown did not return a call seeking comment.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"Y02dSDRcLcX0SkqcCAqFBUwe7VWk7tH4\"]\u003cbr>\nAbuslin's attorneys filed \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/16/criminal-charges-legal-claim-filed-in-cop-sexual-exploitation-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal claims\u003c/a> -- generally a precursor to lawsuits -- against Oakland, Richmond, Livermore and San Francisco, as well as Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Oakland \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/01/teen-tied-to-sexual-misconduct-case-relieved-by-oakland-settlement/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">settled\u003c/a> the claim against it in May for $989,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several current and former Oakland officers face criminal charges in Alameda County related to the case, in addition to a former Contra Costa sheriff's deputy. But no Richmond officers were criminally charged in Alameda or Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each case is unique. We found no conspiracies,” Police Chief Brown wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/12/police-chief-no-crimes-by-richmond-officers-in-sexual-exploitation-scandal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report on his department's investigation\u003c/a> last September. “The facts show individual, unconnected, non-criminal engagements and other activities that violate multiple Department policies and the professional Code of Ethics on the part of several RPD officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed Thursday alleges that Officer Terrance Jackson met Abuslin when she was in high school and he was assigned as a school resource officer. They allegedly discussed Abuslin's work in the sex trade, but Jackson did not attempt to help the sex-trafficked minor. After she left high school, Jackson allegedly fondled her, according to the lawsuit.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"W1GpDKOTDw2Wo9OrTCmiccNVcvOl24bx\"]\u003cbr>\nLt. Andre Hill, a former Richmond police spokesman, also allegedly met Abuslin when she was in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shortly thereafter, he started grooming her, preparing her for his sexual advances,\" the lawsuit says. \"He would routinely call her and tell her to stand in the front picture window of her home that faces the street. He would instruct her to disrobe and flash her breasts at him while he drove by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit goes on to allege that Abuslin had sex with Hill \"in exchange for receiving protection and confidential information from Officer Hill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond Sgt. Armando Moreno allegedly met Abuslin while patrolling an area known for sex trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[T]he two exchanged phone numbers, with Officer Moreno promising to connect [Abuslin] with resources that could help her out of the sex exploitation industry,\" the lawsuit says. \"As events unfolded, this promise was merely a ploy to gain [Abuslin's] confidence in order to obtain sexual favors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreno allegedly gave Abuslin some pamphlets \"that could assist her with getting out of the 'life,' \" according to the lawsuit. But later, in spring 2016, their relationship became sexual. Moreno also allegedly shared a police report with Abuslin about a sexual assault against one of her friends.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"0GpVXWhQTBv6JSJuNZMxmoeURCiy6xaQ\"]\u003cbr>\nThe lawsuit accuses Moreno of texting Abuslin to alert her of a prostitution sting operation, but she was detained before she could leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consistent with the protection [Abuslin] received in exchange for sexual favors, the Officer immediately released her without issuing a citation or arresting her,\" the lawsuit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Mike Rood allegedly met Abuslin for sex several times in early 2016, according to the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He confided in her his foot fetish and would often text and/or call to ask questions about her feet,\" the complaint says. \"Defendant Rood knew [Abuslin] was a sex worker and took advantage of his status as a police officer by coercing her into having sexual encounters in exchange for providing her protection from arrest and prosecution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officer Jerrod Tong met Abuslin through \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/07/14/__trashed-20/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social media\u003c/a>, according to the lawsuit, which is a way Abuslin met many law enforcement officers, according to her testimony at a recent preliminary hearing in a criminal case. Tong allegedly visited Abuslin while he was on duty, and then continued to meet her near her home for sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer Tong supported and promoted [Abuslin's] prostitution activities,\" the lawsuit says. \"For example, he would ask her to send him pictures and suggest outfits and poses for her prostitution ads.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said Friday that the scale of the case goes well beyond Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were a number of officers in Oakland, a number of officers in Richmond, some officers in Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department, some officers in Alameda County Sheriff’s Department, Livermore, as well as at least two in San Francisco,\" Burris said. \"And it was as if this young woman was being passed around as if she was a sex slave that was available at these men’s beck and calls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said the lawsuit against Richmond won't likely be the last in the wide-ranging case. Legal claims against Contra Costa and Alameda counties as well as San Francisco and Livermore have yet to be settled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly some of them are going to be sued, but I don’t know how many of them,\" Burris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the complaint below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3935225-Jane-Doe-v-City-of-Richmond-et-al\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

But no Richmond officers were criminally charged in Alameda or Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each case is unique. We found no conspiracies,” Police Chief Brown wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/12/police-chief-no-crimes-by-richmond-officers-in-sexual-exploitation-scandal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report on his department's investigation\u003c/a> last September. “The facts show individual, unconnected, non-criminal engagements and other activities that violate multiple Department policies and the professional Code of Ethics on the part of several RPD officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed Thursday alleges that Officer Terrance Jackson met Abuslin when she was in high school and he was assigned as a school resource officer. They allegedly discussed Abuslin's work in the sex trade, but Jackson did not attempt to help the sex-trafficked minor. After she left high school, Jackson allegedly fondled her, according to the lawsuit.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nLt. Andre Hill, a former Richmond police spokesman, also allegedly met Abuslin when she was in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shortly thereafter, he started grooming her, preparing her for his sexual advances,\" the lawsuit says. \"He would routinely call her and tell her to stand in the front picture window of her home that faces the street. He would instruct her to disrobe and flash her breasts at him while he drove by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit goes on to allege that Abuslin had sex with Hill \"in exchange for receiving protection and confidential information from Officer Hill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond Sgt. Armando Moreno allegedly met Abuslin while patrolling an area known for sex trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[T]he two exchanged phone numbers, with Officer Moreno promising to connect [Abuslin] with resources that could help her out of the sex exploitation industry,\" the lawsuit says. \"As events unfolded, this promise was merely a ploy to gain [Abuslin's] confidence in order to obtain sexual favors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreno allegedly gave Abuslin some pamphlets \"that could assist her with getting out of the 'life,' \" according to the lawsuit. But later, in spring 2016, their relationship became sexual. Moreno also allegedly shared a police report with Abuslin about a sexual assault against one of her friends.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nThe lawsuit accuses Moreno of texting Abuslin to alert her of a prostitution sting operation, but she was detained before she could leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consistent with the protection [Abuslin] received in exchange for sexual favors, the Officer immediately released her without issuing a citation or arresting her,\" the lawsuit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Mike Rood allegedly met Abuslin for sex several times in early 2016, according to the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He confided in her his foot fetish and would often text and/or call to ask questions about her feet,\" the complaint says. \"Defendant Rood knew [Abuslin] was a sex worker and took advantage of his status as a police officer by coercing her into having sexual encounters in exchange for providing her protection from arrest and prosecution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officer Jerrod Tong met Abuslin through \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/07/14/__trashed-20/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social media\u003c/a>, according to the lawsuit, which is a way Abuslin met many law enforcement officers, according to her testimony at a recent preliminary hearing in a criminal case. Tong allegedly visited Abuslin while he was on duty, and then continued to meet her near her home for sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer Tong supported and promoted [Abuslin's] prostitution activities,\" the lawsuit says. \"For example, he would ask her to send him pictures and suggest outfits and poses for her prostitution ads.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said Friday that the scale of the case goes well beyond Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were a number of officers in Oakland, a number of officers in Richmond, some officers in Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department, some officers in Alameda County Sheriff’s Department, Livermore, as well as at least two in San Francisco,\" Burris said. \"And it was as if this young woman was being passed around as if she was a sex slave that was available at these men’s beck and calls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said the lawsuit against Richmond won't likely be the last in the wide-ranging case. Legal claims against Contra Costa and Alameda counties as well as San Francisco and Livermore have yet to be settled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly some of them are going to be sued, but I don’t know how many of them,\" Burris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the complaint below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Peterson \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/06/14/contra-costa-da-due-in-court-wednesday-afternoon/\">resigned\u003c/a> as part of a felony plea deal with state prosecutors, who charged him with perjury and grand theft in connection with misuse of campaign contributions.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"LKxugg5bbnLL0a5iXk3UOZ6KVIu19FvP\"]\u003cbr>\nContra Costa County supervisors are tasked with selecting an interim district attorney to fill the seat until voters elect a new top prosecutor in June 2018. The five finalists for the position participated in a candidates' forum on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Supervisor Diane Burgis of Oakley received an anonymous package at her office listing seven sources that Becton quotes in her application without attribution. Several other county leaders also received similar anonymous packages. Burgis said she and her staff double-checked the copied passages in Becton's application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It appears that it's true,\" Burgis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The anonymous sender solely targeted Becton and made no mention of passages copied without attribution from Kensok.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have no idea who they are or their motivation,\" Becton wrote to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burgis said she is \"very disappointed.\" She considers this an important opportunity to recruit someone who can help restore confidence and integrity to an office that \"has been having a lot of challenges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I would hope that all of the applicants would approach this whole process in that spirit,” she said. “And to, you know, plagiarize right off the bat is not a good tell.”\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"jUiJEQp9XQ80qA7gXu1OiZeTDhqMg1dw\"]\u003cbr>\nBecton is president of the National Association of Women Judges and has been a judge in Contra Costa County for two decades. In an email, the judge said she had no intention of passing the words off as her own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I borrowed liberally from criminologist and scholars as well as elected leaders and compiled them into summaries,\" Becton wrote. \"Although there are quotes contained in my questionnaire responses, I did not always have nor record source information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear from Becton's application that she is quoting the material, however. It is neither attributed nor surrounded by quotation marks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becton wrote that her intent was to include the best thinkers and ideas on criminal justice issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burgis said using other people’s words without attribution isn’t the norm professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's very intelligent,\" Burgis said. \"She's articulate. So, you know, it's concerning that she couldn't put what she wanted into her application without having to borrow it from other people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burgis said she is still keeping an open mind about Becton. When Burgis spoke to KQED she had not yet had a chance to speak to the judge. The supervisor said her staff is checking the other applications for unattributed quotes as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County Supervisor Candace Andersen of Danville said she has great respect for Becton and her tremendous work, but that she was \"disquieted\" by the unattributed passages in the judge's application. Andersen didn't want to comment further until she speaks with the judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becton wrote in an email that no supervisors had contacted her as of midday Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After learning of the unattributed passages in Becton's application, KQED analyzed the four other finalists' writings and found passages in Kensok's application that were also unattributed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I failed to attribute sources for some sections of my application,\" Kensok wrote in an email to KQED. \"This was not done with any intent to deceive. With the Harvard Business Review Article, it was an oversight. I did not realize I had not gone back and rephrased those sentences. Thus, I neglected to place them in quotation marks. Regardless of reworking the sentences, I should have mentioned the author of the article. I believe it would have lent more authority to the plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Contra Costa County Deputy District Attorney Paul Graves, who is also applying for the job, wrote in an email: \"If it's true, it's disappointing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a former prosecutor, I know that in order to keep our communities safe, citizens must trust that those in law enforcement are acting with honesty and integrity,\" applicant Judge Danielle Douglas wrote to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other finalist for the position, Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Vanier, did not immediately respond to request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor John Gioia said he will not comment on either Kensok's or Becton's use of unattributed sources. He said he is focused on preparing tough questions to ask each of the applicants when they are scheduled appear before the Board of Supervisors next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is Kensok's response to KQED:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I failed to attribute sources for some sections of my application.

These documents outline things already at work in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Roles and Opportunities in Reducing Mental Illness in Jails was produced by the National Association of Counties, while the Stepping Up Initiative is linked on the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) website. I did not mean to portray any of these things as original ideas and do not believe the Board of Supervisors was misled into believing I was supplying original content. Nonetheless, I should have supplied the citations. I am happy to discuss the sources for all the ideas expressed in my application.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here is Becton's response to KQED:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In preparation for the forum I did a significant amount of research on issues related to the problems in our criminal justice system, with an emphasis related to the problems in our criminal justice system, and reform. In the crunch, information was gathered from countless sources. I borrowed liberally from criminologist and scholars as well as elected leaders and compiled them into summaries. Although there are quotes contained in my questionnaire responses, I did not always have nor record source information. Even though the questionnaire responses were not written in the same manner, or with the same rigor that I would use when submitting an academic paper, I tried to bring the brightest thinkers and the best ideas to the discussion. The ideas are not new or based upon my original thought, and I do not attempt to pass them off as my own. Although I am in agreement with the thinking, my only intent was to highlight issues we face, such as bail reform, and other inequities that exist in our criminal justice system. I certainly do not take credit for the ideas, but I am a proponent of information that is advanced by the ideas.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here are a number of passages KQED identified from Kensok's application that are pulled from other sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the \u003ca href=\"https://hbr.org/1994/03/managing-for-organizational-integrity\">Harvard Business Review\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The once familiar picture of ethics as individualistic, unchanging, and impervious to organizational influences has not stood up to scrutiny. An integrity-based approach to ethics management combines concern for the law with an emphasis on managerial responsibility for ethical behavior. This strategy can help prevent damaging ethical lapses, while tapping into powerful human impulses for moral thought and action.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From a Department of Justice \u003ca href=\"https://ric-zai-inc.com/Publications/cops-p280-pub.pdf\">group violence intervention guide\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Protecting the most vulnerable people starts with understanding who they are and how they’re connected. Evidence and experience show that a small number of people in street groups—gangs, drug crews, and the like—drive the majority of violence in troubled neighborhoods. Group members typically constitute less than 0.5 percent of a city’s population, but they are consistently linked to 60 to 70 percent of the shootings and homicides. The internal dynamics of the groups and the honor code of the street drive violence between those groups and individuals.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From a National Association of Counties' \u003ca href=\"http://www.naco.org/sites/default/files/documents/SJC-Mental%20Illness-Final.pdf\">guide for dealing with mental illness\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We need to develop pre-arrest and pre-booking diversion alternatives to help reduce the number of mentally ill people entering jails in the first place, and connecting them to treatment and other resources when they do encounter the justice system. This means partnering with community-based organizations and advocacy groups to provide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training to law enforcement officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behavioral health departments and providers are partnering with law enforcement agencies to staff mental health coresponders or jail mental health coordinators to help divert people from jails and connect them to treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding is always difficult, but it can come from diverse and often blended sources. Enrolling individuals into health coverage and connecting them with care is crucial. Many counties are enrolling individuals with mental illnesses into Medicaid or other health care coverage whenever possible. Particularly in states that have expanded Medicaid, many justice-involved individuals with mental illnesses will qualify for coverage. Medicaid coverage can connect individuals to the care they need once they are in the community and can help lower health care costs by decreasing hospitalizations and emergency room visits. It can also decrease recidivism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County, for example, a study found that individuals who received treatment for behavioral health disorders after release from the county jail spent an average of 51.74 fewer days in jail per year than those who did not receive treatment. Data collection is important for analyzing both point-in-time data as well as to track progress on any reform efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, using a validated mental health screening tool at booking, and including the results in a format that allows them to be analyzed later in an electronic case management system, will help identify and count the number of people with mental illnesses coming into jail. Without knowing this basic baseline information about the population, it can be difficult to help pinpoint the source of the problem. Collecting and analyzing this data over time will help to show progress – or lack thereof – with initiative activities.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here are a number of passages KQED identified from Becton's application that are pulled from other sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Martin Luther King's \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm\">I Have a Dream\u003c/a>\" speech:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note, to which every one of us falls heir.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/20/opinion/kamala-harris-and-rand-paul-lets-reform-bail.html\">New York Times op-ed:\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Our justice system was designed with a promise: to treat all people equally.\u003cbr>\n...\u003cbr>\nYet that doesn’t happen for many of the 450,000 Americans who sit in jail today awaiting trial because they cannot afford to pay bail. Whether someone stays in jail or not is far too often determined by wealth or social connections, even though just a few days behind bars can cost people their job, home, or custody of their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People awaiting trial account for 95 percent of the growth in the jail population from 2000 to 2014, and it costs roughly $38 million every day to imprison these largely nonviolent defendants. That’s about $14 million dollars per year.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From Toptenz.net \u003ca href=\"http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-worst-aspects-of-the-american-justice-system.php\">The Top 10 Worst Aspects of the Criminal justice System\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In 2006, the bipartisan Commission on Safety and Abuse in America’s Prisons, found that 52% of former prisoners were re-convicted. ... While prison can be used to punish criminals and isolate them from society, it is also important to purse strategies that are proven to reduce recidivism because these strategies improve public safety. In recent years, programs focused on rehabilitation have proven a success in several states.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From The Juvenile Justice Exchange, \u003ca href=\"http://jjie.org/2015/04/24/rethinking-juvenile-detention-pew-report-points-to-better-outcomes-with-fewer-lockups/\">\"Re-thinking Juvenile Detention: Better Outcomes with Fewer Lockups\"\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>With the annual cost of keeping a teen in juvenile detention topping $100,000 in many states, there is an increased focus on community-based programs for youths who commit less serious crimes. The states that have pursued alternatives to lockup are seeing fewer repeat offenders and are saving money, according to a new analysis by the Pew Charitable Trusts.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From the San Francisco District Attorney's Advisory Group \u003ca href=\"http://sfdistrictattorney.org/district-attorney-advisory-groups\">webpage\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Preventing crime involves working with the community to create meaningful partnerships to improve public safety.

Although there are quotes contained in my questionnaire responses, I did not always have nor record source information.

The ideas are not new or based upon my original thought, and I do not attempt to pass them off as my own. Although I am in agreement with the thinking, my only intent was to highlight issues we face, such as bail reform, and other inequities that exist in our criminal justice system.

An integrity-based approach to ethics management combines concern for the law with an emphasis on managerial responsibility for ethical behavior. This strategy can help prevent damaging ethical lapses, while tapping into powerful human impulses for moral thought and action.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From a Department of Justice \u003ca href=\"https://ric-zai-inc.com/Publications/cops-p280-pub.pdf\">group violence intervention guide\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Protecting the most vulnerable people starts with understanding who they are and how they’re connected. Evidence and experience show that a small number of people in street groups—gangs, drug crews, and the like—drive the majority of violence in troubled neighborhoods. Group members typically constitute less than 0.5 percent of a city’s population, but they are consistently linked to 60 to 70 percent of the shootings and homicides. The internal dynamics of the groups and the honor code of the street drive violence between those groups and individuals.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From a National Association of Counties' \u003ca href=\"http://www.naco.org/sites/default/files/documents/SJC-Mental%20Illness-Final.pdf\">guide for dealing with mental illness\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We need to develop pre-arrest and pre-booking diversion alternatives to help reduce the number of mentally ill people entering jails in the first place, and connecting them to treatment and other resources when they do encounter the justice system. This means partnering with community-based organizations and advocacy groups to provide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training to law enforcement officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behavioral health departments and providers are partnering with law enforcement agencies to staff mental health coresponders or jail mental health coordinators to help divert people from jails and connect them to treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding is always difficult, but it can come from diverse and often blended sources. Enrolling individuals into health coverage and connecting them with care is crucial. Many counties are enrolling individuals with mental illnesses into Medicaid or other health care coverage whenever possible. Particularly in states that have expanded Medicaid, many justice-involved individuals with mental illnesses will qualify for coverage. Medicaid coverage can connect individuals to the care they need once they are in the community and can help lower health care costs by decreasing hospitalizations and emergency room visits. It can also decrease recidivism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County, for example, a study found that individuals who received treatment for behavioral health disorders after release from the county jail spent an average of 51.74 fewer days in jail per year than those who did not receive treatment. Data collection is important for analyzing both point-in-time data as well as to track progress on any reform efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, using a validated mental health screening tool at booking, and including the results in a format that allows them to be analyzed later in an electronic case management system, will help identify and count the number of people with mental illnesses coming into jail. Without knowing this basic baseline information about the population, it can be difficult to help pinpoint the source of the problem. Collecting and analyzing this data over time will help to show progress – or lack thereof – with initiative activities.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here are a number of passages KQED identified from Becton's application that are pulled from other sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Martin Luther King's \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm\">I Have a Dream\u003c/a>\" speech:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note, to which every one of us falls heir.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/20/opinion/kamala-harris-and-rand-paul-lets-reform-bail.html\">New York Times op-ed:\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Our justice system was designed with a promise: to treat all people equally.\u003cbr>\n...\u003cbr>\nYet that doesn’t happen for many of the 450,000 Americans who sit in jail today awaiting trial because they cannot afford to pay bail.

An extension to Larkspur is expected to be completed by 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been a long road for North Bay commuters to get to this point. Voters approved a sales tax to pay for the train in 2008, but the financial crisis delayed the project. A design flaw and the need for more testing pushed a scheduled 2016 launch date into this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People have been working seven days a week for years for this day,” said Debora Fudge, the mayor of Windsor and chair of the SMART Board of Directors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/08/00127269.mp3\" title=\"SMART Train Is Really Happening ...

An FRA spokeswoman said while SMART is not yet PTC-certified, it has “revenue service demonstration (RSD) approval, which means it can test and run trains with PTC and report to FRA all anomalies, at real time, so that we can determine whether they can continue with their PTC system in service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PTC uses GPS technology to track where trains are and how fast they’re going. If something goes wrong, PTC alerts the train operator and can automatically slow a train if the operator doesn’t respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t completely automate the operation of the train,” said James Moore, director of the transportation engineering program at the University of Southern California. “The goal is to automate the decisions that have to be made to avoid a collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All passenger and freight trains in the U.S. are required to have PTC installed by the end of 2018. Congress passed a law requiring its implementation after a head-on collision between a commuter train and a freight train in Chatsworth, California, killed 25 people and injured more than 100 in 2008. Moore said PTC could have prevented that crash and other recent deadly train collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SMART could have started service without PTC and installed it before the deadline of Dec. 31, 2018, but SMART General Manager Farhad Mansourian said they wanted to have the latest safety system installed from the beginning, making SMART one of the first rail systems in the country to have PTC fully operational from its inception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Positive train control will prevent all speed-related and speed-related human error accidents, which are a common cause of train accidents,” Mansourian said. “It will save a lot of lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is that SMART will also save North Bay commuters a lot of time, freeing them from the constant congestion on Highway 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is really going to increase the quality of life for people who live up here,” Fudge said. She pointed to the certainty that the SMART train schedule will provide, as well as the community that she’s seen grow on \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/30/a-ride-on-the-smart-train-finally/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">preview rides\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are visiting with each other on the train,” Fudge said. “They’re having coffee or a beer or a snack, and they’re really communicating with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mansourian said SMART expects to have around 3,000 riders a day at the beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that they have an option, people are going to start asking themselves, ‘Do I want to take this and cut my commute in half, or do I want to be stuck on 101?’ ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SMART train will be free on opening day, and fares will be half price through Labor Day.\u003c/p>\n\n",

An FRA spokeswoman said while SMART is not yet PTC-certified, it has “revenue service demonstration (RSD) approval, which means it can test and run trains with PTC and report to FRA all anomalies, at real time, so that we can determine whether they can continue with their PTC system in service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PTC uses GPS technology to track where trains are and how fast they’re going. If something goes wrong, PTC alerts the train operator and can automatically slow a train if the operator doesn’t respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t completely automate the operation of the train,” said James Moore, director of the transportation engineering program at the University of Southern California. “The goal is to automate the decisions that have to be made to avoid a collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All passenger and freight trains in the U.S. are required to have PTC installed by the end of 2018. Congress passed a law requiring its implementation after a head-on collision between a commuter train and a freight train in Chatsworth, California, killed 25 people and injured more than 100 in 2008. Moore said PTC could have prevented that crash and other recent deadly train collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SMART could have started service without PTC and installed it before the deadline of Dec. 31, 2018, but SMART General Manager Farhad Mansourian said they wanted to have the latest safety system installed from the beginning, making SMART one of the first rail systems in the country to have PTC fully operational from its inception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Positive train control will prevent all speed-related and speed-related human error accidents, which are a common cause of train accidents,” Mansourian said. “It will save a lot of lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is that SMART will also save North Bay commuters a lot of time, freeing them from the constant congestion on Highway 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is really going to increase the quality of life for people who live up here,” Fudge said. She pointed to the certainty that the SMART train schedule will provide, as well as the community that she’s seen grow on \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/30/a-ride-on-the-smart-train-finally/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">preview rides\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are visiting with each other on the train,” Fudge said. “They’re having coffee or a beer or a snack, and they’re really communicating with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mansourian said SMART expects to have around 3,000 riders a day at the beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that they have an option, people are going to start asking themselves, ‘Do I want to take this and cut my commute in half, or do I want to be stuck on 101?’ ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SMART train will be free on opening day, and fares will be half price through Labor Day.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Mr. Bannon came on very much later than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump offered only a half-hearted defense of his chief strategist, who has had a target on his back ever since joining the administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like him. He’s a good man. He is not a racist, I can tell you that,” Trump said. “But we’ll see what happens with Mr. Bannon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long before he had a formal role in the campaign or the administration, Bannon had been a cheerleader for Trump as head of Breitbart News. Bannon took control of the website in 2012 and turned it into a platform for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/04/531314097/alt-right-white-nationalist-free-speech-the-far-rights-language-explained\">“alt-right.”\u003c/a> His nationalistic, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim views proved a good match for Trump’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m an economic nationalist,” Bannon told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/steve-bannon-trump-tower-interview-trumps-strategist-plots-new-political-movement-948747\">Hollywood Reporter\u003c/a> shortly after the November election. “The globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in Asia. The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f—ed over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The take-no-prisoners style that was so successful during the campaign proved a liability, however, after Trump and Bannon reached the White House. The original shock-and-awe travel ban spearheaded by Bannon was quickly rejected by federal courts. His efforts to strong-arm lawmakers into passing a repeal of the Affordable Care Act backfired. And Bannon feuded openly with other White House staffers, including Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bannon really believes this stuff to a degree that’s almost scary,” Joshua Green told \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=537885042\">Fresh Air’s\u003c/a> Terry Gross. “I think that Trump is driven mainly by opportunism, by a desire to pursue whatever is going to get Donald Trump positive coverage on cable news now. And during the campaign, when nationalism — when Bannon’s nationalism seemed to work for him, that was what he would espouse. But when that stopped working for him in February, after he became president, he was happy to bring in people [like McMaster and Cohn] who nationalists abhor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon raised eyebrows earlier this week when he granted an unsolicited interview to \u003ca href=\"http://prospect.org/article/steve-bannon-unrepentant\">The American Prospect\u003c/a>, a liberal magazine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although he was one of the few White House staffers who embraced the president’s remarks on Charlottesville, Bannon dismissed the white nationalists at the center of the violent protests as a “fringe element,” “losers” and a “collection of clowns,” in the interview, published Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a surprising comment from a man who successfully harnessed white nationalism, first at Breitbart and later in the Trump campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon argued that it’s self-defeating for Democrats to overplay the race card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats,” Bannon told The American Prospect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green suspects Bannon “will keep fighting for this idea of an anti-immigrant nationalism, come hell or high water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now he’ll be pursuing that agenda from outside the White House. And possibly taking aim at his former rivals on the inside.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Mr. Bannon came on very much later than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump offered only a half-hearted defense of his chief strategist, who has had a target on his back ever since joining the administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like him. He’s a good man. He is not a racist, I can tell you that,” Trump said. “But we’ll see what happens with Mr. Bannon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long before he had a formal role in the campaign or the administration, Bannon had been a cheerleader for Trump as head of Breitbart News. Bannon took control of the website in 2012 and turned it into a platform for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/04/531314097/alt-right-white-nationalist-free-speech-the-far-rights-language-explained\">“alt-right.”\u003c/a> His nationalistic, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim views proved a good match for Trump’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m an economic nationalist,” Bannon told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/steve-bannon-trump-tower-interview-trumps-strategist-plots-new-political-movement-948747\">Hollywood Reporter\u003c/a> shortly after the November election. “The globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in Asia. The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f—ed over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The take-no-prisoners style that was so successful during the campaign proved a liability, however, after Trump and Bannon reached the White House. The original shock-and-awe travel ban spearheaded by Bannon was quickly rejected by federal courts. His efforts to strong-arm lawmakers into passing a repeal of the Affordable Care Act backfired. And Bannon feuded openly with other White House staffers, including Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bannon really believes this stuff to a degree that’s almost scary,” Joshua Green told \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=537885042\">Fresh Air’s\u003c/a> Terry Gross. “I think that Trump is driven mainly by opportunism, by a desire to pursue whatever is going to get Donald Trump positive coverage on cable news now. And during the campaign, when nationalism — when Bannon’s nationalism seemed to work for him, that was what he would espouse. But when that stopped working for him in February, after he became president, he was happy to bring in people [like McMaster and Cohn] who nationalists abhor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon raised eyebrows earlier this week when he granted an unsolicited interview to \u003ca href=\"http://prospect.org/article/steve-bannon-unrepentant\">The American Prospect\u003c/a>, a liberal magazine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although he was one of the few White House staffers who embraced the president’s remarks on Charlottesville, Bannon dismissed the white nationalists at the center of the violent protests as a “fringe element,” “losers” and a “collection of clowns,” in the interview, published Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a surprising comment from a man who successfully harnessed white nationalism, first at Breitbart and later in the Trump campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon argued that it’s self-defeating for Democrats to overplay the race card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats,” Bannon told The American Prospect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green suspects Bannon “will keep fighting for this idea of an anti-immigrant nationalism, come hell or high water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now he’ll be pursuing that agenda from outside the White House. And possibly taking aim at his former rivals on the inside.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And there was the \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/4652863/white-house-statement-holocaust-remembrance-day/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purposeful failure to recognize Jews\u003c/a> killed during the Holocaust and \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/06/trump-poland-visit-nationalists-240266\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a trip to Poland widely praised\u003c/a> by white nationalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In total, Levin said the message to white nationalists is: “You have a friend in the White House.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if he’s not a ‘white nationalist’ himself, white nationalists see their message retransmitted in people like Bannon, [Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian] Gorka, and Stephen Miller,” Levin said. “Even if they personally can’t get access, their harmful messages are both making their way to the president and coming from the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are seeing the mainstreaming of extremism,” Levin added.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump's Comments, and Conspiracies in Defense of Suspect in Charlottesville Killing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump’s comments about needing time to understand “the facts” in the Charlottesville killing have abetted white nationalist propaganda, as it suggests there could be other motives or explanations for the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though there is video that shows a car driving straight into a crowd of people in Charlottesville, white nationalists like Damigo have circulated smaller video clips to construct false counternarratives -- in this instance, that the driver \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LucidHurricaneX/status/896834155169947648\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was trying to escape an angry mob\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As of [Monday, Aug. 14], more pictures and video came out that really make what happened kind of too ambiguous to really make a judgment call,” Damigo told KQED when asked about the driver’s culpability in running over the protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"KX8S2Z2nARvZMAt1CXPa0BXWL1iRtqMR\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That idea that it was too soon to rush to judgment was a common narrative of extreme right-wing websites immediately after video of the car surfaced. Other hard-right conspiracy theorists, like Mike Cernovich of Orange County, have also suggested that other people -- all of whom are Trump’s political enemies -- are to blame for the killing of Heather Heyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Clear now that Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe ordered police to stand down, to harm alt-right, and it led to a murder,” he tweeted.\u003cbr>\nTrump initially also suggested people shouldn’t rush to judgment when he blamed “both sides” in these confrontations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are two sides to every story,” Trump said. “It takes a little while to get the facts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the idea that “both sides” are somehow culpable might outrage even members of Trump’s own party, it is a boon to the recruiting efforts of Damigo and other white nationalists -- who are looking to capture the minds of a few, not the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Simply because every time there is a major incident like this, people will look to the media,” Damigo told KQED. “And then a handful of them will go online and see what they weren’t being told by the media. And they’ll say, ‘Wait a minute? Why is the media trying to manipulate my perception on this?’ And they realize they’re being lied to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Media coverage of white supremacist rallies, experts say, attracts new members while reinforcing an important narrative -- that they somehow are the victim as a result of events counter to their interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Narrative control is critically incredibly important to any group,” said Charles Davis, chief strategy officer at the USC Race and Equity Center. “I think white victimhood has long been a strategy to maintain membership and recruit new people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Trump’s words may aid white nationalists, and satisfy his base, Davis said it is damaging to the public at large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S7zGgL6Suw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toni Morrison said\u003c/a>, the very point of white supremacy is to be distracted,” Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And Trump’s a master of manipulating the media,\" Davis continued. \"He’s been distracting them his entire career. I also think he believes what he’s saying. So it all works out for him.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

And there was the \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/4652863/white-house-statement-holocaust-remembrance-day/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purposeful failure to recognize Jews\u003c/a> killed during the Holocaust and \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/06/trump-poland-visit-nationalists-240266\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a trip to Poland widely praised\u003c/a> by white nationalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In total, Levin said the message to white nationalists is: “You have a friend in the White House.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if he’s not a ‘white nationalist’ himself, white nationalists see their message retransmitted in people like Bannon, [Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian] Gorka, and Stephen Miller,” Levin said. “Even if they personally can’t get access, their harmful messages are both making their way to the president and coming from the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are seeing the mainstreaming of extremism,” Levin added.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump's Comments, and Conspiracies in Defense of Suspect in Charlottesville Killing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump’s comments about needing time to understand “the facts” in the Charlottesville killing have abetted white nationalist propaganda, as it suggests there could be other motives or explanations for the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though there is video that shows a car driving straight into a crowd of people in Charlottesville, white nationalists like Damigo have circulated smaller video clips to construct false counternarratives -- in this instance, that the driver \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LucidHurricaneX/status/896834155169947648\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was trying to escape an angry mob\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As of [Monday, Aug. 14], more pictures and video came out that really make what happened kind of too ambiguous to really make a judgment call,” Damigo told KQED when asked about the driver’s culpability in running over the protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That idea that it was too soon to rush to judgment was a common narrative of extreme right-wing websites immediately after video of the car surfaced. Other hard-right conspiracy theorists, like Mike Cernovich of Orange County, have also suggested that other people -- all of whom are Trump’s political enemies -- are to blame for the killing of Heather Heyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Clear now that Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe ordered police to stand down, to harm alt-right, and it led to a murder,” he tweeted.\u003cbr>\nTrump initially also suggested people shouldn’t rush to judgment when he blamed “both sides” in these confrontations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are two sides to every story,” Trump said. “It takes a little while to get the facts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the idea that “both sides” are somehow culpable might outrage even members of Trump’s own party, it is a boon to the recruiting efforts of Damigo and other white nationalists -- who are looking to capture the minds of a few, not the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Simply because every time there is a major incident like this, people will look to the media,” Damigo told KQED. “And then a handful of them will go online and see what they weren’t being told by the media. And they’ll say, ‘Wait a minute? Why is the media trying to manipulate my perception on this?’ And they realize they’re being lied to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Media coverage of white supremacist rallies, experts say, attracts new members while reinforcing an important narrative -- that they somehow are the victim as a result of events counter to their interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Narrative control is critically incredibly important to any group,” said Charles Davis, chief strategy officer at the USC Race and Equity Center. “I think white victimhood has long been a strategy to maintain membership and recruit new people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Trump’s words may aid white nationalists, and satisfy his base, Davis said it is damaging to the public at large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S7zGgL6Suw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toni Morrison said\u003c/a>, the very point of white supremacy is to be distracted,” Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
