And it really pissed me off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then it’s Walt’s turn to interview Min. Min tells him that as a transgender person of color, he sees a lot of divisive racism and transpeople targeted in the media. And he adds that, because of how the media portrays immigrants, his Latino son’s identity “is under attack, and he doesn’t even know it yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, there’s a connection. Walt asks Min if he would identify himself first and foremost as transgender. Without hesitation, Min responds, “I would say I’m a father first,” which seems to catch Walt by surprise. Walt chuckles and nods his head. “I say 'way to go,' because that’s how I identify too,” he tells Min.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems like Walt and Min could have talked about fatherhood all night. But Stewart, the facilitator, interrupts the group to take them one step further, into something she calls radical empathy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11618131\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11618131 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-800x1199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-800x1199.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-1020x1528.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-1180x1768.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-960x1439.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-375x562.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-520x779.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Facilitator Hailey Stewart explains the radical empathy exercise. \u003ccite>(Maykel Loomans)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When they regroup, each person will share their partner’s story, but in the first person.

Moreover, one would expect the barrel to rise an inch or so as the momentum of Andy's clockwise turn moved his left arm slightly away from his body. But that incidental movement alone would not compel a jury to conclude that Gelhaus faced imminent danger given the starting position of the gun. Furthermore, this interpretation is bolstered by Gelhaus's admission that the weapon would benignly \"swing somewhat\" with each step that Andy took.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>During a video-recorded deposition of Gelhaus, the sheriff's sergeant was asked to re-enact Lopez's movements. \"The video depicts the gun in Gelhaus's fully-extended arm and at his side as he turns, consistently pointed straight down towards the ground,\" the appellate ruling says. \"Notably, if the weapon rose in a manner that was objectively threatening, one would think that Gelhaus would be eager to demonstrate the upward motion. Gelhaus's reenactment does not do so.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like the trial court and the court of appeals said, you can’t shoot somebody,\" Casillas said. \"You call out to somebody, they turn around, they don’t point the gun at you, you can’t shoot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he expects the case to go to trial at a federal court in Oakland within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the 9th Circuit majority and dissenting opinions below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4059538-170922-USCA-Opinion-Lopez-v-Gelhaus\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

The doctrine is often applied to civil lawsuits over law enforcement use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Qualified immunity should apply when you have an officer in a life-or-death situation who has to make judgments about whether or not to use deadly force in essentially milliseconds,\" defendant's attorney Noah Blechman said. \"We’re evaluating our options,\" which could include an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 9th Circuit opinion focuses on whether Lopez raised the toy rifle as he turned toward Gelhaus and his partner, Michael Schemmel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the 9th Circuit opinion, which cites the district (trial) court's findings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The court expressly found that it \"can conclude on that the rifle barrel was beginning to rise; and given that it started in a position where it was pointed down at the ground, it could have been raised to a slightly-higher level without posing any threat to the officers.\" ... Moreover, one would expect the barrel to rise an inch or so as the momentum of Andy's clockwise turn moved his left arm slightly away from his body. But that incidental movement alone would not compel a jury to conclude that Gelhaus faced imminent danger given the starting position of the gun. Furthermore, this interpretation is bolstered by Gelhaus's admission that the weapon would benignly \"swing somewhat\" with each step that Andy took.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>During a video-recorded deposition of Gelhaus, the sheriff's sergeant was asked to re-enact Lopez's movements. \"The video depicts the gun in Gelhaus's fully-extended arm and at his side as he turns, consistently pointed straight down towards the ground,\" the appellate ruling says. \"Notably, if the weapon rose in a manner that was objectively threatening, one would think that Gelhaus would be eager to demonstrate the upward motion. Gelhaus's reenactment does not do so.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like the trial court and the court of appeals said, you can’t shoot somebody,\" Casillas said. \"You call out to somebody, they turn around, they don’t point the gun at you, you can’t shoot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he expects the case to go to trial at a federal court in Oakland within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the 9th Circuit majority and dissenting opinions below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom waded into the debate over creating a government-run or single-payer health care system in California, prompting a caustic response from his chief Democratic opponent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom reveled in swooning applause at the California Nurses Association national conference, saying it was time to \"dust off\" \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 562\u003c/a>, which is currently stuck in the Assembly, and vote on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't need to wait around\" for Congress to act, Newsom said, referring to \"Medicare for All\" legislation sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders. He added, \"We don’t do that. That’s not who we are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked by reporters afterward if he supports \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SB 562\u003c/a>, Newsom refined his response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I 100 percent support moving this process along, getting this debate going again and addressing the concerns,\" he said, adding he also had concerns about financing and other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That prompted the campaign of former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is running second to Newsom in most polls for the 2018 gubernatorial race, to pounce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign spokesman Luis Vizcaino said Newsom was flip-flopping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is an outrageous parsing of words when millions of people are at risk of losing their health care,\" Vizcaino said in a written statement. \"Newsom is a good politician who knows how to parse words, but parsing will not deliver health care to anyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"wcnSXWke0VUt5amQSrGHnnCWDJ8rdBId\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talking with KQED later, Newsom said of SB 562, \"It’s not done but that doesn’t mean you walk away from it. You shape it. Everyone up there (in Sacramento) acts like they’re bystanders. Which is remarkable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lieutenant governor acknowledged there are legitimate questions about single-payer health care, \"so let’s answer them as opposed to walk away and act like it's bigger than we are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Single-payer health care has long been the goal of progressive Democrats in California.

After the state Senate passed SB 562 by Los Angeles Sen. Ricardo Lara, the bill hit a wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon declared SB 562 \"woefully incomplete\" and announced he was holding the bill back until next year.

After the state Senate passed SB 562 by Los Angeles Sen.
