(Rachel Dornhelm/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>People in Santa Rosa have held march after march in the two weeks since a Sonoma County sheriff's deputy shot and killed Santa Rosa eighth-grader Andy Lopez. One theme that's emerged during the protests is what many say is a deep gulf between Sonoma County's Latino residents and the rest of the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professor Francisco Vazquez, a historian at Sonoma State University, says he knows why the Lopez killing has sparked anger among Latino residents. Vasquez has lived in the county for 30 years, some of that in the largely Latino Roseland neighborhood where the boy was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you live day in and day out a lot of violations to your own human dignity and there’s really no outlets, then when an incident like this shooting happens, then all hell breaks loose,\" he says. \"And then people from the outside who don’t take part of this experience are surprised and shocked.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nVazquez says those indignities can be personal, like getting poor customer service at stores when he’s not dressed professionally. But they can also be systemic. Latinos in Sonoma County are half as likely as those in the rest of the state to graduate with necessary courses to go on to a four-year university. And Latinos are three times more likely to be living in poverty compared to other county residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"When you live day in and day out a lot of violations to your own human dignity and there’s really no outlets, then when an incident like this shooting happens, then all hell breaks loose.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Politically, despite making up a quarter of Santa Rosa’s population, there was no Latino representative on the City Council until 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of Latino leaders are working to change issues around representation. Los Cien is a local group that is working within the community to help groom future leaders and build unity, says the group’s founder, Herman Hernandez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One member of Los Cien is Wanda Tapia. She showed me around Roseland, the neighborhood where she raised her kids. It’s where most of Santa Rosa Latinos live, on the city’s west side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know some of the mindset of walking into a store and people looking at you because they think you’re going to steal something,\" she says. \"I’m not going to steal anything, I have enough money, you know?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tapia sits on several community boards, like the Chamber of Commerce, and is the cofounder of \u003ca href=\"http://www.latinoserviceproviders.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Latino Service Providers\u003c/a>. She attended one of the marches to protest Andy Lopez's killing, the first time she was moved to go to a political rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tapia says some changes need to come from institutions: educating law enforcement about the community, addressing inequities in the school system. And some changes are needed to improve basic infrastructure in the Roseland district. She points out the lack of lighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As you can see, there is only one side you can walk on this road,\" Tapia says. \"There are young people walking through here all the time and we really need to make it a safer place for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Ortiz has lived in Sonoma County since 1964, when he took a job as a social worker to field laborers. Soon after, Ortiz founded the community group \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahumandevelopment.org/\" target=\"_blank\">California Human Development\u003c/a>. He says the Lopez killing \"breached the peace\" for Latino residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know there are very good people and leaders on the white community side, there’s no question,\" Ortiz says. \"But we’re a very big segment of the population, we speak Spanish, our culture is different, our viewpoints are not quite the same.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz says by and large he’s been very happy in Sonoma County. But he says the Lopez shooting is a reminder of the problems Latinos face: \"We are not looked upon as people who are bona fide residents and citizen of this community, which I take great exception to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa Mayor Scott Bartley says he doesn’t perceive racial tensions in the city. But he says he wants to hear from residents in a series of community forums organized after the Lopez shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are probably 100 issues tied into this,\" he says. \"And we need to hear what those issues are and then we need to decide how does government address them, how does government interact with them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He adds: “You want to say, well, it’s not me. Well, it is all of us, as a community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the field where Lopez died, residents have built a giant Day of the Dead altar draped in white. The fragrance of votive candles hangs in the air. Nearby are a small plastic slide and playhouse, set up so kids could play at the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eliseo Avalos watches his 2-year-old daughter play on the slide, and points out there are no parks in his neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There isn’t a park here within walking distance — you have to drive,\" he says. \"I think the kids can use a park here especially if their parents are working or can’t drive them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avalos is helping keep the candles lit for Andy Lopez. And he’s been heartened by the outpouring of support. He says he hopes something good, whether it’s a playground or greater understanding in the community, comes out of the tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/119036591\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Rachel Dornhelm/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>People in Santa Rosa have held march after march in the two weeks since a Sonoma County sheriff's deputy shot and killed Santa Rosa eighth-grader Andy Lopez. One theme that's emerged during the protests is what many say is a deep gulf between Sonoma County's Latino residents and the rest of the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professor Francisco Vazquez, a historian at Sonoma State University, says he knows why the Lopez killing has sparked anger among Latino residents. Vasquez has lived in the county for 30 years, some of that in the largely Latino Roseland neighborhood where the boy was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you live day in and day out a lot of violations to your own human dignity and there’s really no outlets, then when an incident like this shooting happens, then all hell breaks loose,\" he says. \"And then people from the outside who don’t take part of this experience are surprised and shocked.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nVazquez says those indignities can be personal, like getting poor customer service at stores when he’s not dressed professionally. But they can also be systemic. Latinos in Sonoma County are half as likely as those in the rest of the state to graduate with necessary courses to go on to a four-year university. And Latinos are three times more likely to be living in poverty compared to other county residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"When you live day in and day out a lot of violations to your own human dignity and there’s really no outlets, then when an incident like this shooting happens, then all hell breaks loose.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Politically, despite making up a quarter of Santa Rosa’s population, there was no Latino representative on the City Council until 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of Latino leaders are working to change issues around representation. Los Cien is a local group that is working within the community to help groom future leaders and build unity, says the group’s founder, Herman Hernandez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s where most of Santa Rosa Latinos live, on the city’s west side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know some of the mindset of walking into a store and people looking at you because they think you’re going to steal something,\" she says. \"I’m not going to steal anything, I have enough money, you know?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tapia sits on several community boards, like the Chamber of Commerce, and is the cofounder of \u003ca href=\"http://www.latinoserviceproviders.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Latino Service Providers\u003c/a>. She attended one of the marches to protest Andy Lopez's killing, the first time she was moved to go to a political rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tapia says some changes need to come from institutions: educating law enforcement about the community, addressing inequities in the school system. And some changes are needed to improve basic infrastructure in the Roseland district. She points out the lack of lighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As you can see, there is only one side you can walk on this road,\" Tapia says. \"There are young people walking through here all the time and we really need to make it a safer place for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Ortiz has lived in Sonoma County since 1964, when he took a job as a social worker to field laborers. Soon after, Ortiz founded the community group \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahumandevelopment.org/\" target=\"_blank\">California Human Development\u003c/a>. He says the Lopez killing \"breached the peace\" for Latino residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know there are very good people and leaders on the white community side, there’s no question,\" Ortiz says. \"But we’re a very big segment of the population, we speak Spanish, our culture is different, our viewpoints are not quite the same.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz says by and large he’s been very happy in Sonoma County. But he says the Lopez shooting is a reminder of the problems Latinos face: \"We are not looked upon as people who are bona fide residents and citizen of this community, which I take great exception to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa Mayor Scott Bartley says he doesn’t perceive racial tensions in the city. But he says he wants to hear from residents in a series of community forums organized after the Lopez shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are probably 100 issues tied into this,\" he says. \"And we need to hear what those issues are and then we need to decide how does government address them, how does government interact with them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He adds: “You want to say, well, it’s not me. Well, it is all of us, as a community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the field where Lopez died, residents have built a giant Day of the Dead altar draped in white. The fragrance of votive candles hangs in the air. Nearby are a small plastic slide and playhouse, set up so kids could play at the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eliseo Avalos watches his 2-year-old daughter play on the slide, and points out there are no parks in his neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There isn’t a park here within walking distance — you have to drive,\" he says. \"I think the kids can use a park here especially if their parents are working or can’t drive them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avalos is helping keep the candles lit for Andy Lopez. And he’s been heartened by the outpouring of support. He says he hopes something good, whether it’s a playground or greater understanding in the community, comes out of the tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/119036591\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We can grieve together and hope this tragedy never happens again,\" Carrillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrillo said the Board of Supervisors will start a public conversation in November about the issues that are orbiting the Lopez shooting -- the presence of guns, manufacture of toy guns that look authentic and the relationship between the community and law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humberto Ballesteros came because his daughter was friends with Lopez.

A toy plastic handgun was found in his waistband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in Santa Rosa Tuesday, more than 1,000 people marched at a rally to protest the shooting of Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protesters, including middle- and high-school-age students and members of the Occupy movement, assembled in downtown Santa Rosa before marching through streets with signs and hooded sweatshirts bearing photos of the boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Andy Lopez did not have to die,\" they chanted during the nearly three-hour, mostly peaceful demonstration. No arrests were made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protest was large for Santa Rosa, Paul Gullixson, editorial director of the Press Democrat, told KQED's Mina Kim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've just never seen anything like that. But I think the frustration, the emotion is really high. They're just trying to get their heads around what it was that motivated this deputy to fire the shots.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Fuentes, who has been participating in the marches and protests since Andy's death, said another rally is scheduled for 5 p.m. Wednesday. A march from the Roseland area of Santa Rosa and City Hall will follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a shame it took this type of event to bring the community together,\" Fuentes said, calling the marches, rallies vigils and public reaction to the fatal shooting \"historical and powerful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the evening's mass, Cecilia Martinez of Santa Rosa was in tears. She said she can't image her 14-year-old boy dying in such an incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said her son has a Star Wars light saber but no toy guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have to go after the manufacturers.

She said she can't image her 14-year-old boy dying in such an incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said her son has a Star Wars light saber but no toy guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have to go after the manufacturers.

The paper’s authors suggested that this number was “significantly underreported.” A series of toy gun-related deaths in the late 80s helped pass a federal amendment, sponsored by Republican Sen. Bob Dole, that requires all toy, “look-alike,” or imitation firearms to have a bright orange plug or other salient marking.

The paper’s authors suggested that this number was “significantly underreported.” A series of toy gun-related deaths in the late 80s helped pass a federal amendment, sponsored by Republican Sen.
