Local governments that don’t present viable plans can now face lawsuits, lose state funding for transportation and affordable housing, or trigger laws that allow developers to \u003ca href=\"https://www.lewis.ucla.edu/research/a-primer-on-californias-builders-remedy-for-housing-element-noncompliance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">build big housing projects\u003c/a>, overriding the city’s local zoning rules.

It even has voter-backed rules in its own charter that prohibit new apartment buildings. That prompted some delicate conversations at City Hall, where local leaders have spent the past two and a half years meeting with residents and explaining how all this new housing could benefit them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These conversations are happening all across the Bay Area as cities and counties race to submit compliant plans.

It feels frozen in time. And, that’s by design.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 1972 ballot measure effectively halted new housing construction. The city used to be more economically diverse, but, like many Bay Area cities, which passed rules in the '70s and '80s limiting development, has become increasingly exclusive. That’s presented a challenge as the city seeks to comply with new state guidelines mandating more housing, said City Planner Andrew Thomas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fifty years later, we’re doing our housing element for the city and we’re trying to address issues of equity. If we’re regulating land and saying, ‘Anyone who can’t afford a single-family home, we don’t provide housing for you,’ that’s a problem,” Thomas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During and after World War II, the city experienced \u003ca href=\"https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/environmental-analysis/documents/ser/tract-housing-in-ca-1945-1973-a11y.pdf\">tremendous population growth (PDF)\u003c/a> when the Navy built a base on the shipping yards in the western part of the city.

This scared homeowners who were concerned about the “changing character” of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1972, Alameda residents overwhelmingly passed Measure A, which became \u003ca href=\"https://alamedamgr.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/article-xxvi-of-alameda-city-charter.pdf\">Article 26 in the City Charter (PDF)\u003c/a>. It banned new multifamily apartment buildings in most of the city. Alameda voters had a chance to overturn the 1972 law on a 2020 ballot, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local-politics/article/Alameda-Measure-Z-which-would-lift-ban-on-15699683.php\">they overwhelmingly upheld it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently passed state laws that require cities to build more housing have made Measure A effectively moot, but the aftereffects live on today in most of the city’s neighborhoods. The island has two sides: On its eastern flank are single-family homes, high-performing schools and mostly white and Asian residents. On the western side is a now mostly abandoned naval base, few grocery stores and aging apartments that were built by the federal government and repurposed as subsidized housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Alameda sought to plan for future housing, it had to contend with — and in some cases, override — prevailing attitudes about how much development the city should see. And, it received plenty of opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Foreman, 84, has lived in Alameda for the past two decades and fought aggressively against the city’s new housing plan. He owns a two-bedroom condo on a quiet street with single-family homes, Victorian mansions and a few duplexes. There’s a park nearby and a center for older adults three blocks away that provides meals for him five days a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11938459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11938459 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A view of two homes and a lawn.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Single-family homes in Alameda on Jan. 12, 2023. In 1972, Alameda passed a ballot measure effectively halting new construction for multifamily units. As the City Council worked to create a housing plan, they had to contend with long-held sentiments from residents who didn’t want new housing in their town. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The city’s bucolic nature is part of why he loves living here and why he wants it to stay that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not super dense, there are places to park, there are parks to go to, it’s green.” he said. “The city is just going to come along and completely change the character of the neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreman does not want to see his neighborhood replaced with ritzy high-rise buildings, which he fears could now happen — though city planners say more duplexes and triplexes, instead of high-rise buildings, could be built on the land where large, single-family houses now stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His other big fear? That these new homes won’t actually be affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His concerns aren’t misguided. Over the past eight years, Alameda was supposed to build \u003ca href=\"https://irp.cdn-website.com/f1731050/files/uploaded/he-policy-document.pdf\">975 housing units for very low- to moderate-income residents (PDF)\u003c/a>. According to Andrew Thomas, only 500 have been built. And \u003ca href=\"https://chpc.net/new-data-underscores-californias-failure-to-meet-low-income-housing-production-goals-dashboard-series-3/\">California as a whole built only about two-thirds of its goal for lower- to moderate-income housing\u003c/a>. At the same time, the state — and Alameda — exceeded its goal for above-moderate-income, or “luxury,” housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a very dysfunctional system,” Foreman said. “As far as I’m concerned, the state is avoiding its responsibilities [to build affordable housing].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his concerns, Alameda is moving forward to enable housing to be built all over the city. The housing element allows almost 1,000 new units to be built in residential neighborhoods like Foreman’s over the next eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re next to Oakland and just across the bay from San Francisco. We’re right in the center of one of the nation’s major urban areas,” said former Alameda City Council member John Knox White. “The idea that we should not participate in providing housing for the jobs that we all travel to is, for me, a little offensive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Change is coming\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Knox White and Thomas worked hard to pass the city’s housing element. While they both agree with Foreman that affordable housing is important and necessary, they say it’s not realistic to build only subsidized housing when construction costs are so high and funding for affordable housing is limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to make the projects financially viable or else they’re not going to be built,” Thomas said. “But at the same time, you want to get as much subsidized, low-income housing as you can. That’s the balance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is why most of Alameda’s housing element includes sites that will have units accessible to a range of income levels: above moderate to very low. One site that excites Knox White and Thomas is called Alameda Point, located on what is now the mostly abandoned remains of the naval base — a huge swath of land that takes up almost a third of the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s now home to large empty warehouses and miles of unused airstrips. Aside from hosting an antique fair once a month, the space is underutilized and, in the eyes of Knox White and Thomas, could be a great place for housing. In 2015, the city approved \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedapointpartners.com/vision-sub.html\">a plan for almost 1,000 housing units here\u003c/a>, along with retail, residential and commercial space, a sports complex and large public art sculptures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, the development highlights the other big challenge city and state planners face when it comes to getting housing built in the Bay Area: Just because it’s possible, doesn’t mean it’s doable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The redevelopment of Alameda Point has been going slowly and not so smoothly. Construction and labor costs were rising before the pandemic, but now, coupled with inflation, they're only becoming more expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have in our favor is that the city owns the land, so we have a lot more control over our destiny,” Thomas said. “But [there are] no new streets, old infrastructure, old sewer systems that need to be replaced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Thomas, Alameda Point Partners, the developer working on the project, has come back to the City Council at least six times to renegotiate the deal, partially because of costly city requirements to install public art and contribute to transportation infrastructure. And in the meantime, construction has stalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that we’ve solved the housing element issue, we have to figure out how do we not make it so expensive to build,” Knox White said. “Is public art more important than building housing? There’s a big sports complex that might be built in 20 years that every developer has to pay into — is that more important than building the housing we need? These are the tough conversations that folks are going to need to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda led the Bay Area in adopting an ambitious plan to build more housing. But it will all be moot if the housing doesn’t get built. With a potential recession weighing on the economy; labor and construction costs rising; and a long history of slow — or nonexistent — development, some residents say they can’t afford to wait on housing that may or may not get built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emily Roscoe is one of them. A first grade teacher at the Bay Farm School, Roscoe moved to the city in 2020 with her husband, a firefighter for the East Bay Regional Park District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They live in a one-bedroom apartment right across from Crown Beach that has been perfect for just the two of them, but Roscoe wants to start a family soon. Last year, their landlord did major renovations to the property and increased the rent astronomically. Roscoe has two other jobs to keep up with rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11938460\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11938460 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A woman wearing a black sweater with a light-colored top stands outside.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emily Roscoe, a first grade teacher, sits outside her Alameda apartment on Jan. 12, 2023.

The city used to be more economically diverse, but, like many Bay Area cities, which passed rules in the '70s and '80s limiting development, has become increasingly exclusive.

This scared homeowners who were concerned about the “changing character” of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1972, Alameda residents overwhelmingly passed Measure A, which became \u003ca href=\"https://alamedamgr.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/article-xxvi-of-alameda-city-charter.pdf\">Article 26 in the City Charter (PDF)\u003c/a>. It banned new multifamily apartment buildings in most of the city. Alameda voters had a chance to overturn the 1972 law on a 2020 ballot, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local-politics/article/Alameda-Measure-Z-which-would-lift-ban-on-15699683.php\">they overwhelmingly upheld it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently passed state laws that require cities to build more housing have made Measure A effectively moot, but the aftereffects live on today in most of the city’s neighborhoods. The island has two sides: On its eastern flank are single-family homes, high-performing schools and mostly white and Asian residents.

In 1972, Alameda passed a ballot measure effectively halting new construction for multifamily units. As the City Council worked to create a housing plan, they had to contend with long-held sentiments from residents who didn’t want new housing in their town. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The city’s bucolic nature is part of why he loves living here and why he wants it to stay that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not super dense, there are places to park, there are parks to go to, it’s green.” he said. “The city is just going to come along and completely change the character of the neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreman does not want to see his neighborhood replaced with ritzy high-rise buildings, which he fears could now happen — though city planners say more duplexes and triplexes, instead of high-rise buildings, could be built on the land where large, single-family houses now stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His other big fear? That these new homes won’t actually be affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His concerns aren’t misguided. Over the past eight years, Alameda was supposed to build \u003ca href=\"https://irp.cdn-website.com/f1731050/files/uploaded/he-policy-document.pdf\">975 housing units for very low- to moderate-income residents (PDF)\u003c/a>. According to Andrew Thomas, only 500 have been built. And \u003ca href=\"https://chpc.net/new-data-underscores-californias-failure-to-meet-low-income-housing-production-goals-dashboard-series-3/\">California as a whole built only about two-thirds of its goal for lower- to moderate-income housing\u003c/a>. At the same time, the state — and Alameda — exceeded its goal for above-moderate-income, or “luxury,” housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a very dysfunctional system,” Foreman said. “As far as I’m concerned, the state is avoiding its responsibilities [to build affordable housing].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his concerns, Alameda is moving forward to enable housing to be built all over the city. The housing element allows almost 1,000 new units to be built in residential neighborhoods like Foreman’s over the next eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re next to Oakland and just across the bay from San Francisco. We’re right in the center of one of the nation’s major urban areas,” said former Alameda City Council member John Knox White. “The idea that we should not participate in providing housing for the jobs that we all travel to is, for me, a little offensive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Change is coming\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Knox White and Thomas worked hard to pass the city’s housing element. While they both agree with Foreman that affordable housing is important and necessary, they say it’s not realistic to build only subsidized housing when construction costs are so high and funding for affordable housing is limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to make the projects financially viable or else they’re not going to be built,” Thomas said. “But at the same time, you want to get as much subsidized, low-income housing as you can. That’s the balance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is why most of Alameda’s housing element includes sites that will have units accessible to a range of income levels: above moderate to very low. One site that excites Knox White and Thomas is called Alameda Point, located on what is now the mostly abandoned remains of the naval base — a huge swath of land that takes up almost a third of the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s now home to large empty warehouses and miles of unused airstrips. Aside from hosting an antique fair once a month, the space is underutilized and, in the eyes of Knox White and Thomas, could be a great place for housing. In 2015, the city approved \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedapointpartners.com/vision-sub.html\">a plan for almost 1,000 housing units here\u003c/a>, along with retail, residential and commercial space, a sports complex and large public art sculptures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, the development highlights the other big challenge city and state planners face when it comes to getting housing built in the Bay Area: Just because it’s possible, doesn’t mean it’s doable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Alameda County Supervisor Wilma Chan, an advocate for health care access and a political trailblazer for Asian Americans in the East Bay, died Wednesday afternoon after being hit by a vehicle while walking her dog across the street in the city of Alameda, her staff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan, 72, suffered a serious head injury and was rushed to Highland Hospital, where doctors were unable to revive her. She was pronounced dead at 2:30 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1994, Chan became the first Asian American to win election to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, representing the 3rd District, which includes the cities of Alameda, San Leandro and sections of East Oakland and Chinatown.

They were responding to 911 calls from neighbors who said he was acting disoriented and appeared to be breaking security tags off alcohol bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He seems like he’s tweaking. But he’s not doing anything wrong, he’s just scaring my wife,\" one of the callers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident begins calmly, but after the officers' make repeated, unsuccessful attempts to obtain Gonzalez's full name or ID, they grab him, never telling him he's under arrest. When Gonzalez resists being handcuffed, two officers take him to the ground, pinning him on his stomach, with at least one pressing an elbow and knee into his back and shoulder. They handcuff Gonzalez, holding him down for roughly five minutes, as he continues to struggle, at which point he appears to lose consciousness and stops breathing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many social justice activists and policing experts alike have lambasted the officers, accusing them of unnecessarily escalating a situation that did not necessitate the use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez's family and their supporters are now pushing for the officers to be charged with murder, drawing comparisons to the death of George Floyd, who was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870396/court-says-jury-has-reached-verdict-in-derek-chauvins-murder-trial\">murdered\u003c/a> last May by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for more than 9 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks since Gonzalez's death, multiple separate investigations into the incident have been initiated, including criminal investigations by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department and Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, and an outside investigation by a private law firm hired by the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't understand why they felt compelled to engage [Gonzalez] to the point where they had to handcuff him and control. Because it makes no sense,\" said David Thomas, a professor of forensic studies at Florida Gulf Coast University and former police tactical trainer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think they were determined that they were going to detain him in order to get to that point, to find out who he was,\" he said. \"I don't see that as being a requirement if the person's not a threat to anybody. And if you just need him to move along, why don't you have that conversation and ask?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11871345 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/RS48857_044_Alameda_MarioGonzalezPressConf_04272021-qut-1020x679.jpg']Thomas also noted that the officers erred in failing to tell Gonzalez why they were detaining him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You need to clarify,\" he said. \"What is your purpose? And that was never stated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless, Thomas said, after the officers forced Gonzalez to the ground, they should have immediately tried to move him into a sitting position to ensure he was able to properly breathe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An attorney for the officers said they did nothing wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These officers used the lowest degree of force possible given the intensity of Mr. Gonzalez's efforts to evade their grasp,\" Alison Berry Wilkinson told \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/henrykleeKTVU/status/1387540533497634820\">KTVU\u003c/a> last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers had to act to ensure the safety of Gonzalez because he appeared intoxicated and disoriented and they were concerned he would fall if left there, Wilkinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was never a point in time where any officer's knee was on Mr. Gonzalez's neck. Nor was there a time when they were pressing down hard enough on his body to cause him not to breathe,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda Police Department has been no stranger to controversy. It came under fire last May for use of heavy-handed tactics following the release of a video \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Alameda-Police-release-body-cam-footage-of-black-15322278.php\">showing officers pinning a 44-year-old Black man\u003c/a> to the ground and handcuffing him, after he had been seen dancing in the street near his house. The police chief \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Alameda-police-chief-retires-after-28-years-on-15427045.php\">announced his retirement\u003c/a> the following month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in 2018, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Video-exclusive-Navy-vet-who-died-8-days-after-15364030.php\">40-year-old navy veteran died\u003c/a> eight days after Alameda police arrested him, pinning him to the ground on his stomach and tasing him multiple times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez's death has drawn renewed attention to a California bill that would bar police from applying pressure or body weight to a restrained person’s neck, torso or back, or laying them face up or face down without proper monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11872840\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS48847_033_Alameda_MarioGonzalezPressConf_04272021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11872840\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS48847_033_Alameda_MarioGonzalezPressConf_04272021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS48847_033_Alameda_MarioGonzalezPressConf_04272021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS48847_033_Alameda_MarioGonzalezPressConf_04272021-qut-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS48847_033_Alameda_MarioGonzalezPressConf_04272021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS48847_033_Alameda_MarioGonzalezPressConf_04272021-qut-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mario Gonzalez's mother, Edith Arenales, puts her head together with her son Geraldo Gonzalez before speaking at a news conference outside the Alameda Police Department on April 27, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB490\">Assembly Bill 490\u003c/a>, authored by Democratic Assemblyman Mike Gipson, D-Carson, a former police officer, would outlaw techniques that create a substantial risk of what's known as \"positional asphyxia\" — detaining someone in a way that compresses their airways and reduces the ability to breathe normally. The legislation follows California's \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1196\">recent ban\u003c/a> on police use of carotid restraints or choke holds, a measure also introduced by Gipson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This does not mean that a police officer can no longer restrain anyone when they need to for public safety, but it would mean that they cannot keep anyone from breathing/losing oxygen when restraining them,\" Gipson said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California State Sheriffs’ Association has called the language in the new bill overly broad, arguing that violations would be too difficult to judge and that an all-out ban would leave officers fewer options for handling violent suspects, making them more likely to use batons or stun guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Timothy T. Williams Jr., a police tactics expert who spent nearly 30 years with the Los Angeles Police Department, said that while most departments already have policies on this, those guidelines need to be much clearer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: the Alameda Police Department's \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedaca.gov/files/assets/public/departments/alameda/police/alameda-police-department-policy-manual-11022020.pdf\">policy manual\u003c/a> states that a suspect \"shall not be placed on his/her stomach for an extended period, as this could reduce the person’s ability to breathe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The policy needs to be more specific and directed,\" Williams said. \"Once he or she is handcuffed, they are to be immediately removed from the prone position, put on their side and if possible sat up.\" Otherwise, he said, “You leave everything to subjective interpretation: What may be short to you may be long to me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"mario-gonzalez\"]From a medical standpoint, any restriction of oxygen or blood flow is too long, said UCSF neurologist Nicole Rosendale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are no kind of safe, defined ways to have someone in a position like this and reduce oxygen,\" she said. \"There’s no way to predict who might be at higher risk or lower risk of complications from this positioning.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez's death also rekindles the longstanding national debate – amplified in the wake of George Floyd's murder — over which kinds of responders are best suited to handle various types of non-emergency situations, and when police officers should not be involved. These are among the heated questions the Alameda City Council intends to take up this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This was a tragic and avoidable incident that once again demonstrates the danger of involving law enforcement and interactions with people experiencing mental health crises and substance-use issues,\" said Jennifer Stark, an attorney with Disability Rights California, one of the many groups that support reallocating resources to community service agencies and enlisting them to respond to certain non-violent calls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a violent person. There were no safety issues raised. There were some concerns potentially about mental health issues. And this is one of those cases where it would have been perfectly appropriate to involve mental health professionals to come in to speak with Mario and to de-escalate the situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no crisis,\" she added, \"until the law enforcement got involved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randy Fenn, Alameda's interim police chief, said he agrees on the need to reexamine this dynamic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that's going to be a really important question going forward,\" Fenn said. \"Who are the appropriate responders?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that can get complicated fast, he added, noting that in this case, Gonzalez seemed to be acting erratically and could have become potentially dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, would properly trained, non-sworn people be the best to respond to this? Possibly,\" he said. \"Would they be in some level of danger? Again, possibly. So do you have a mix of a social worker with a police officer?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"And I think each community is trying right now to figure out what that looks like and what's the best model for Alameda.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article includes reporting from KQED's Alex Emslie and Holly McDede, and The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They were responding to 911 calls from neighbors who said he was acting disoriented and appeared to be breaking security tags off alcohol bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He seems like he’s tweaking. But he’s not doing anything wrong, he’s just scaring my wife,\" one of the callers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident begins calmly, but after the officers' make repeated, unsuccessful attempts to obtain Gonzalez's full name or ID, they grab him, never telling him he's under arrest. When Gonzalez resists being handcuffed, two officers take him to the ground, pinning him on his stomach, with at least one pressing an elbow and knee into his back and shoulder. They handcuff Gonzalez, holding him down for roughly five minutes, as he continues to struggle, at which point he appears to lose consciousness and stops breathing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many social justice activists and policing experts alike have lambasted the officers, accusing them of unnecessarily escalating a situation that did not necessitate the use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez's family and their supporters are now pushing for the officers to be charged with murder, drawing comparisons to the death of George Floyd, who was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870396/court-says-jury-has-reached-verdict-in-derek-chauvins-murder-trial\">murdered\u003c/a> last May by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for more than 9 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Police \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AlamedaPD/status/1384341596481593350/photo/1\">said\u003c/a> Gonzalez “appeared to be under the influence and a suspect in a possible theft,” and experienced a “medical emergency” after officers tried to place his hands behind his back. Gonzalez was transported by Alameda Fire Department personnel to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez’s family, who viewed the video footage before it was released publicly, accused the police of murdering Gonzalez by using excessive force and escalating a situation that was entirely avoidable. Gonzalez was healthy and had no known medical conditions, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yesterday, my family and I saw the footage and we know what really happened. Alameda police officers murdered my brother Mario,” said Gerardo Gonzalez, Mario’s youngest sibling, at a Tuesday press conference and rally outside of the Alameda Police Department, shortly before the video was publicly released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mother was heartbroken to see Mario’s last moments,” he told the roughly 50 attendees, many holding “Justice 4 Mario” signs. “It was painful to watch the violence and disregard for his humanity. The police killed my brother in the same manner that they killed George Floyd.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11870691 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/RS48713_026_Alameda_MarioGonzalezVigil_04212021-qut-1020x679.jpg']The three officers directly involved in the incident have been placed on paid administrative leave, per standard procedure. Officer James Fisher has been with the Alameda Police Department since 2010, while the two other officers, Cameron Leahy and Eric McKinley, joined in 2018, according to the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The City of Alameda is committed to full transparency and accountability in the aftermath of Mr. Gonzalez’s death,” the city said in a statement Tuesday, announcing the release of the video. It noted that separate investigations into the incident have been initiated, including criminal investigations by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department and Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, and an independent outside investigation by a private law firm hired by the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Autopsy findings have not yet been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I share probably the views of much of the community that you see a video like that and nobody wants to see a young man die,” interim Alameda Police Chief Randy Fenn told KQED on Wednesday. He called Gonzalez’s death “awful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And certainly as a police chief, I don’t want to see something like that during an involvement with the police,” he added. “And like the rest of the community, now we’re looking for answers and trying to figure out what exactly happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Due to its graphic nature, and out of consideration for our communities, KQED is not embedding the video. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBJnToNolHw\">The full version is available here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the nearly hourlong video, which shows footage from two different police body cameras filmed from different angles, two officers are seen approaching Gonzalez, who is standing alone in the small park next to what appear to be two Walgreens shopping baskets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers were responding to separate 911 calls, also included in the video, one from a neighbor who reports a man in his front yard “talking to himself” and “not making any sense.” The caller adds, “He seems like he’s tweaking. But he’s not doing anything wrong, he’s just scaring my wife.” A second 911 caller reports the same man, now in the park nearby, who he says has been there for about 30 minutes and appears to be breaking the security tags off of alcohol bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the officers arrive, they question Gonzalez about what he’s doing in the park, and ask for his ID. Gonzalez, who is calm but fidgety, mumbles several largely incoherent responses and does not appear to be fully lucid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he lives in Alameda, Gonzalez says, “I haven’t gotten a house yet” and briefly puts one hand in his pocket, while standing on a small stump. The officers tell him to take his hands out of his pockets before approaching him. Without telling him he is under arrest, each officer grabs one of Gonzalez’s arms, leads him down from the stump and proceeds to try to put his hands behind his back.

He was complying and they continued to bring him down with their weight. Everything we saw in that video was unnecessary and unprofessional, and it took a minuscule event and made it fatal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video, Gerardo said, shows Mario sitting in the park “and not bothering anyone,” and at no point was he out of control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They could have asked him to call his family and we would have come and picked him up,” he said. “There was no reason to detain him, let alone kill him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez leaves behind a 4-year-old son, and was also the main caretaker of his 22-year-old autistic brother, his family said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The footage shows what we already knew,” Edith Arenales, Gonzalez’s mother, said in Spanish, and accused the officers of “killing my son.” One of the officers, she said, held his knee on Gonzalez’s head — a claim not clearly evident in the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mario was a kind man and level headed,” Arenales added. “There was a way to deal with this situation without killing my son.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Fenn, the interim police chief, said the video only shows “just a part of what was happening there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got questions about what I see with what the officers are doing,” Fenn said. “But that’s what has to be borne out in the investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just see kind of two dimensional, for us watching on screen,” he added. “And the officers were living it at that time and all their senses were firing. So we have to figure out what it is that they were experiencing and why they did certain things and how we ended up in the position where we ended up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez’s family and supporters are demanding an independent investigation into Gonzalez’s death, any additional footage and had sought release of the officers’ names.

This company is working for the City, being spoon fed information by the City, and will no doubt come to a conclusion that is in the City’s best interests. That’s why the family has called for an outside, independent investigation, led by their lawyers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Tuesday’s press event, Galvis said the city of Alameda and its police department have a long history of racism, and there is “zero oversight of the Alameda police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video, Galvis noted, was released just a week after the nation reacted to the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. But he cautioned supporters against mistaking that outcome for any kind of real transformation in police accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to repeat and reiterate that one verdict does not create systemic change,” Galvis said, noting the multiple deaths of people of color across the country at the hands of police in just the last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda Police Department came under fire last May for use of heavy-handed tactics following the release of a video \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Alameda-Police-release-body-cam-footage-of-black-15322278.php\">showing officers pinning a 44-year-old Black man\u003c/a> to the ground and handcuffing him, after he had been seen dancing in the street near his house. The police chief, who was sharply criticized for his response to the incident, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Alameda-police-chief-retires-after-28-years-on-15427045.php\">announced his retirement\u003c/a> several months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in 2018, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Video-exclusive-Navy-vet-who-died-8-days-after-15364030.php\">40-year-old navy veteran died\u003c/a> eight days after Alameda police arrested him, pinning him to the ground on his stomach and tasing him multiple times. Last year, the city agreed to pay the man’s mother $250,000 as part of a settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cat Brooks, a longtime community activist who leads the Anti Police-Terror Project, said Gonzalez’s death once again painfully underscores the urgent need to defund police departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Defund is about taking money out of bloated police budgets and putting that into the community in the form of resources, programs and supports,” she told event attendees on Tuesday. “And it’s about not calling the cops anymore when there’s a mental-health crisis. … It’s about not calling the cops when someone is in the middle of a substance-abuse crisis. We got folks that can handle that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fenn said he agrees it’s time to reexamine which types of professionals are best suited to respond to different kinds of situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that’s going to be a really important question going forward. And that’s really the question that we’ve been having, not just in Alameda, but in police departments across the state and across the country even before this incident,” he said. “Who are the appropriate responders?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that can get complicated fast, Fenn added, noting that Gonzalez may have been experiencing a mental health issue or may have been under the influence, or possibly both, making him potentially unpredictable and possibly dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now, would properly trained, non-sworn people be the best to respond to this? Possibly,” he said. “Would they be in some level of danger? Again, possibly. So do you have a mix of a social worker with a police officer?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “And I think each community is trying right now to figure out what’s that look like and what’s the best model for Alameda?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes additional reporting from KQED’s Beth LaBerge.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Police \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AlamedaPD/status/1384341596481593350/photo/1\">said\u003c/a> Gonzalez “appeared to be under the influence and a suspect in a possible theft,” and experienced a “medical emergency” after officers tried to place his hands behind his back. Gonzalez was transported by Alameda Fire Department personnel to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez’s family, who viewed the video footage before it was released publicly, accused the police of murdering Gonzalez by using excessive force and escalating a situation that was entirely avoidable. Gonzalez was healthy and had no known medical conditions, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yesterday, my family and I saw the footage and we know what really happened. Alameda police officers murdered my brother Mario,” said Gerardo Gonzalez, Mario’s youngest sibling, at a Tuesday press conference and rally outside of the Alameda Police Department, shortly before the video was publicly released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mother was heartbroken to see Mario’s last moments,” he told the roughly 50 attendees, many holding “Justice 4 Mario” signs. “It was painful to watch the violence and disregard for his humanity. The police killed my brother in the same manner that they killed George Floyd.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Officer James Fisher has been with the Alameda Police Department since 2010, while the two other officers, Cameron Leahy and Eric McKinley, joined in 2018, according to the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The City of Alameda is committed to full transparency and accountability in the aftermath of Mr. Gonzalez’s death,” the city said in a statement Tuesday, announcing the release of the video. It noted that separate investigations into the incident have been initiated, including criminal investigations by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department and Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, and an independent outside investigation by a private law firm hired by the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Autopsy findings have not yet been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I share probably the views of much of the community that you see a video like that and nobody wants to see a young man die,” interim Alameda Police Chief Randy Fenn told KQED on Wednesday. He called Gonzalez’s death “awful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And certainly as a police chief, I don’t want to see something like that during an involvement with the police,” he added. “And like the rest of the community, now we’re looking for answers and trying to figure out what exactly happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Due to its graphic nature, and out of consideration for our communities, KQED is not embedding the video. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBJnToNolHw\">The full version is available here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the nearly hourlong video, which shows footage from two different police body cameras filmed from different angles, two officers are seen approaching Gonzalez, who is standing alone in the small park next to what appear to be two Walgreens shopping baskets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers were responding to separate 911 calls, also included in the video, one from a neighbor who reports a man in his front yard “talking to himself” and “not making any sense.” The caller adds, “He seems like he’s tweaking. But he’s not doing anything wrong, he’s just scaring my wife.” A second 911 caller reports the same man, now in the park nearby, who he says has been there for about 30 minutes and appears to be breaking the security tags off of alcohol bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the officers arrive, they question Gonzalez about what he’s doing in the park, and ask for his ID. Gonzalez, who is calm but fidgety, mumbles several largely incoherent responses and does not appear to be fully lucid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he lives in Alameda, Gonzalez says, “I haven’t gotten a house yet” and briefly puts one hand in his pocket, while standing on a small stump. The officers tell him to take his hands out of his pockets before approaching him. Without telling him he is under arrest, each officer grabs one of Gonzalez’s arms, leads him down from the stump and proceeds to try to put his hands behind his back. When he bends over and resists being handcuffed, one officer says, “Please stop resisting us, OK? Don’t fight us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez can be heard saying, “It’s not that, there’s something else,” and tells them to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, while the officers are still trying to get Gonzalez’s hands behind his back, one of them says, “I think we talked before, Mario.

The other responds, “I don’t want to lose what I got, man.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Gonzalez grows silent and his body goes limp, one officer instructs his partner to not put any weight on his chest. The other officer appears to comply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 15 seconds later, when Gonzalez appears to be completely motionless, they roll him on his side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s going unresponsive,” one of the officers says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers shout Gonzalez’s first name, check for a pulse, roll him fully over, and begin administering CPR, his hands still restrained behind his back. About one minute later, they remove his handcuffs and continue performing CPR, repeatedly shouting for him to wake up, as more officers and EMTs arrive. They are also seen administering at least two doses of Narcan, which is given to counteract opiate overdoses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He went from combative to non-responsive almost immediately and then we started compressions,” one of the officers tells an EMT from the Alameda Fire Department, before Gonzalez is lifted into an ambulance and brought to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Everything we saw in that video was unnecessary and unprofessional, and it took a minuscule event and made it fatal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video, Gerardo said, shows Mario sitting in the park “and not bothering anyone,” and at no point was he out of control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They could have asked him to call his family and we would have come and picked him up,” he said. “There was no reason to detain him, let alone kill him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez leaves behind a 4-year-old son, and was also the main caretaker of his 22-year-old autistic brother, his family said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The footage shows what we already knew,” Edith Arenales, Gonzalez’s mother, said in Spanish, and accused the officers of “killing my son.” One of the officers, she said, held his knee on Gonzalez’s head — a claim not clearly evident in the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mario was a kind man and level headed,” Arenales added. “There was a way to deal with this situation without killing my son.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Fenn, the interim police chief, said the video only shows “just a part of what was happening there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got questions about what I see with what the officers are doing,” Fenn said. “But that’s what has to be borne out in the investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just see kind of two dimensional, for us watching on screen,” he added. “And the officers were living it at that time and all their senses were firing.

The police chief, who was sharply criticized for his response to the incident, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Alameda-police-chief-retires-after-28-years-on-15427045.php\">announced his retirement\u003c/a> several months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in 2018, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Video-exclusive-Navy-vet-who-died-8-days-after-15364030.php\">40-year-old navy veteran died\u003c/a> eight days after Alameda police arrested him, pinning him to the ground on his stomach and tasing him multiple times. Last year, the city agreed to pay the man’s mother $250,000 as part of a settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cat Brooks, a longtime community activist who leads the Anti Police-Terror Project, said Gonzalez’s death once again painfully underscores the urgent need to defund police departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Defund is about taking money out of bloated police budgets and putting that into the community in the form of resources, programs and supports,” she told event attendees on Tuesday. “And it’s about not calling the cops anymore when there’s a mental-health crisis. … It’s about not calling the cops when someone is in the middle of a substance-abuse crisis.

Possibly,” he said. “Would they be in some level of danger? Again, possibly.
