Greg Meyer, who now testifies in use-of-force lawsuits. \"People’s opinions tend to be based on personal or second-hand experience, and tend to be very media-driven.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the media do a \"generally poor job of interpreting police work.\" Reporters in turn have long complained that police departments fail to explain thoroughly how shootings happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are also divided over the Black Lives Matter movement, which began advocating against profiling and excessive force by police in the wake of the 2014 police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was black. The officer Darren Wilson, who was cleared of any wrongdoing, is white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a third of respondents view the movement warmly, while another third view Black Lives Matter coldly. Twenty-four percent are uncertain or ambivalent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police-backed \"All Lives Matter\" movement gets more support. A little over half of respondents view it favorably, compared to 25 percent who view it negatively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not unexpected,” Abdullah of Black Lives Matter said. “This is very reflective of our work and what we run into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11080146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Prop63\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Prop63-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey also examined a variety of propositions on the November ballot, including two addressing criminal justice issues.

Whoever wins in the November general election will make history for California and the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, whose mother is of South Asian descent and whose father grew up in Jamaica, would be the second black woman elected to the Senate, while Sanchez would be among the first Latinas elected senator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following on the heels of Barbara Boxer's \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/01/08/49147/california-sen-barbara-boxer-announces-she-won-t-r/\">retirement announcement\u003c/a>, the election will fill the state's first open Senate seat in 2½ decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet despite the high stakes, many voters remain undecided or unaware of the candidates in the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike previous California Senate races, this year's contest is notable for its relative quiet.

Both issues give her a chance to appeal to conservative voters in her search for support beyond her party's Democratic base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also spent a few minutes telling the crowd about the challenges and the costs she's encountering as she tries to build a unit in her backyard for her aging mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Sanchez fielded a question about recent news stories that she ducked out of a debate with Harris that was proposed for Sept. 20 in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez told the crowd she had other commitments on that day, but was willing to debate during the four other proposed times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not afraid of debating.

But Prop. 60 does not specify what constitutes a financial interest. Ultimately, it may be up to the courts to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importantly, the claim by the opponents makes no mention that only workers with a monetary stake in the films would be liable and only after a complaint process plays out.

Supporters of Prop. 60 say the initiative would strengthen the existing law, which they say is rarely enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure is sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has long pushed for greater safety standards in adult films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, voters in Los Angeles County \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Measure-B-Porn-Condoms-Los-Angeles-LA-Election-Results-Decision-2012-177573761.html\">approved a similar condom requirement\u003c/a> for adult films made in that county. It is considered a model for Prop. 60, which applies its condom mandate to scenes with anal and vaginal intercourse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 60 would also require adult film companies to obtain a health license and pay for the costs of vaccinations and health tests for sexually transmitted diseases for their performers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We asked the No on 60 campaign for evidence backing up its claim that performers would be open to lawsuits under the measure. A spokesman pointed to the initiative’s section 6720.6, on enforcement, whistleblowers and private rights of action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It allows those who witness violations of the proposed law — including performers, prosecutors or anyone who is a California resident — to file a complaint with the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. If the agency declines to pursue the case within 21 days, the witness could then file a civil lawsuit against anyone with a financial interest in the film, which could include some performers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no mention in the No on 60 advertisement, however, that only performers with a financial interest would be liable. Nor does the ad mention the complaint process that must precede a lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Porn Workers With Financial Stake\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, opponents of the measure say making performers liable is significant because many have a financial stake in the content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see, in today’s adult film industry, the majority of performers are also producers,” Eric Paul Leue, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, wrote in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.advocate.com/commentary/2016/8/17/suing-porn-stars-will-not-lead-less-hiv\">opinion piece\u003c/a> about Prop. 60 in the Advocate, a LGBT news publication, this month. “In addition to shooting for studios, most porn stars regularly create their own content — either for their own websites, on webcams, or in partnership with studios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 60 would apply to any commercial pornography produced in California, in traditional films and on the web.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DrChauntelle\">Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals\u003c/a>, a sociologist who studies the adult film industry, said the percentage of workers who have a financial stake in adult content they contribute to “is certainly very high,” though she said there’s no accepted estimate. Advances in technology and distribution, she said, have allowed more workers to share in the financial success of their content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone from webcam models to agents may have a financial stake in a single piece of content,” Tibbals added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Prop. 60, however, maintain the claim about workers being exposed to lawsuits is deceptive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only people who can get sued (under Prop. 60) are producers,” said Rick Taylor, who manages the Yes on 60 campaign. “Some actors and actresses are producers. If they’re breaking the law, they’re going to potentially get sued.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the measure’s goal is to bolster worker protections and public health, and that it doesn’t matter what percentage of performers have a financial stake in the films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Our Ruling\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of California’s Prop. 60, which would require condom use in adult films, recently claimed it would put “workers in the adult film industry at risk for lawsuits and harassment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement is partially accurate: Some adult film workers, and perhaps a growing share, could face lawsuits if they have a financial interest in the content they work on. But Prop. 60 does not specify what constitutes a financial interest. Ultimately, it may be up to the courts to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importantly, the claim by the opponents makes no mention that only workers with a monetary stake in the films would be liable and only after a complaint process plays out. Those who are independent contractors would face no legal action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement leaves out this key context and gives the impression that any or all workers could face lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We rate the claim Half True.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>HALF TRUE\u003c/strong> – The statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details or takes things out of context.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2011/feb/21/principles-truth-o-meter/\">Click here for more\u003c/a> on the six PolitiFact ratings and how we select facts to check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more fact-checks, go to \u003ca href=\"http://politifactcalifornia.com/\">PolitiFactCalifornia.com.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of California Counts, a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

During the campaign, the American Beverage Association contributed more than $2.4 million to fight the initiative.

The measure failed, in part because it specified that money from the tax would be spent on nutrition and health programs. Under state law, taxes applied to specific purposes require a two-thirds majority vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley tax has been linked to a 21 percent decrease in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among lower-income residents, according to a study published last week by the American Journal of Public Health.

The industry group, which includes Coca Cola, PepsiCo, and Sunny Delight, has poured $545,000 into a political action committee (PAC) to battle San Francisco’s measure -- a fraction of the $9.2 million it dropped in the city in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two organizations have provided most of the money in support of the tax. About $250,000 has been raised by San Franciscans United to Reduce Diabetes, a political action committee. John Arnold, a billionaire hedge fund founder, and his wife Laura, contributed $60,000 of that total through a social welfare organization they created, Action Now Initiative. The organization also contributed money to support the 2014 Berkeley measure. (Disclosure: The Laura and John Arnold Foundation is a donor to MapLight.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beverage PAC has also raised $600,000 to fight the Oakland ballot measure, which would add a one-cent tax to sodas. It is using the money to buy ads that frame the initiative as a tax on groceries and that feature halal and Asian grocers. The ads suggest the beverage industry is using the results from the 2014 San Francisco campaign to inform its current strategy: then there was little support for the proposed tax in neighborhoods with more lower-income and minority voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Desley Brooks, an Oakland council member supporting the measure, claimed the soda industry “is targeting people of color, and they have no shame when it comes to spreading falsehoods.” But Lauren Kane, a spokeswoman for the beverage industry association, described the proposals as “regressive and discriminatory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Singling out one item in a grocery cart is discriminatory,” said Kane, adding that 43 soda tax proposals have been rejected by local governments since 2008. And while Kane wouldn’t discuss the industry’s strategy for fighting the four ballot measures, she said there’s plenty of time between now and November for the industry to make its case to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citizens for Healthy Oakland Children, which advocates for the new tax, has only raised $18,545 -- $1 for every $32 collected by opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brotherly Love\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates of soda taxes were heartened by \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2016/06/16/philadelphia-first-major-u-s-city-to-pass-soda-tax/\">a June vote\u003c/a> in the Philadelphia City Council that placed a 1.5 cent-per-ounce tax on sodas to provide $400 million in funds for pre-kindergarten and recreation programs.

Philadelphians for a Fair Future, a “dark money” group that is not required to reveal its donors, spent heavily to back the new tax.
