An unnamed officer stops his SUV off to the front of the sedan. The parking lot is largely empty, but Poblete leaves his emergency lights flashing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Roll down your back windows, please,” Poblete yells as he walks toward the car and shines a flashlight into the driver’s side window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sorry, no,” Gao responds, her head poking out of the window. “There’s no one here,” she says as she rolls down the window, saying she was parked because she was talking to a friend on the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poblete tells her they are investigating a complaint of a car matching hers doing donuts in the parking lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know how to do donuts,” she says. “I’m not that good at driving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few minutes of back-and-forth — during which the woman says her name is Raisa Gao — the other officer touches Gao’s front driver’s side tire. “Yeah, it’s not hot,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All right. Have a good night, ma’am,” Poblete says as he turns away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sorry,” the other officer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poblete takes a few steps away and then turns back, telling Gao that his dispatcher says her registration expired. “I do have to address that,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, no, I just went to the DMV,” Gao says, immediately becoming defensive and flustered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Poblete tries to tell her about her registration being invalid, she repeatedly interrupts and asks whether she can go home nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12014947 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/20161217_144416_qed-1020x765.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m just nervous because of all the lights,” she says, gesturing to the flashing emergency lights around her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poblete again asks for her driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t scare me right now,” she says. “I’m really tired.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poblete’s tone grows more stern as he says that he doesn’t like her interrupting him and that she is required to give him the documents he requested. Gao becomes increasingly flustered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do me a favor, ma’am,” Poblete says. “Because you’re freaking out…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s because you’re cops,” Gao says, “and I’m just in a parking lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Can you turn off your vehicle and then can I see your keys? Please?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No,” Gao says. “That’s illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, it’s not,” Poblete says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gao then snatches her ID out of Poblete’s hand, and he reaches into the car and grabs Gao by the arm. “Get out of the vehicle,” he says repeatedly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Stop!” The two struggle for about 30 seconds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ma’am, I’m going to pepper spray you,” Poblete says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No! Stop! You’re scaring me!” she says, putting the keys in the ignition as Poblete continues to hold onto her arm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ma’am, I’m going to shoo…” Poblete says as Gao’s window rolls up and she drives away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poblete fires three times at the car. It stops a short distance away in the same parking lot. Poblete calls in “shots fired,” gets into his SUV, drives closer to Gao’s vehicle, then parks and stands with his door open, gun pointed at Gao.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gao, bleeding as the two officers approach her open car door, cries, “Oh my God! What did you do to me? I’m just a girl!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They cuff her hands behind her back and attempt to give her medical aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re killing me,” she says. “I didn’t even do anything. Why would you hurt me?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crowd of people begins to gather as Gao yells out for someone to call her mother and rolls on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Stop!” Poblete yells at her. “We’re trying to help you! You keep on moving. You’re gonna keep on bleeding! We’re trying to save your life!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why did you shoot her?” one onlooker yells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More officers arrive as they try to find Gao’s wounds. In the background, people in the crowd yell at officers as they wait for medical help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it does, a paramedic says the handcuffs on Gao need to come off so they can properly treat her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Have a good night, ma’am,” Poblete says as he turns away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sorry,” the other officer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poblete takes a few steps away and then turns back, telling Gao that his dispatcher says her registration expired. “I do have to address that,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, no, I just went to the DMV,” Gao says, immediately becoming defensive and flustered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Poblete tries to tell her about her registration being invalid, she repeatedly interrupts and asks whether she can go home nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>President-elect \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/donald-trump\">Donald Trump\u003c/a> has tapped San Francisco lawyer and Republican activist Harmeet Dhillon to head the civil rights division at the U.S. Department of Justice. Dhillon, a longtime GOP booster who unsuccessfully ran for Republican National Committee chair last year, has been a vocal supporter of Trump — but she was passed over for this same job during Trump’s first term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Dhillon \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11814049/conservative-group-sues-gov-newsom-over-coronavirus-relief-for-undocumented-workers\">filed lawsuits\u003c/a> that endeared her to Republican activists, including targeting Big Tech, \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/biden-vaccine-rule-faces-roster-top-conservative-lawyers-6th-circuit-2021-11-19/\">pandemic restrictions like vaccine mandates \u003c/a>and transgender rights. A favorite on right-wing cable news, she also parroted unfounded questions about the COVID-19 vaccine’s safety during its rollout as she became one of the most high-profile lawyers pushing back against the mandates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/12/10/trump-civil-rights-justice-department-dhillon/\">embraced Trump’s baseless denial of the 2020 election results \u003c/a>with gusto as a legal adviser to his campaign, urging the Supreme Court to intervene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his social media post announcing her nomination, Trump wrote that Dhillon has “stood up consistently to protect our cherished Civil Liberties, including taking on Big Tech for censoring our Free Speech, representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID, and suing corporations who use woke policies to discriminate against their workers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But civil rights groups like The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights slammed the pick. Maya Wiley, president and CEO of the conference, said her nomination is “yet another clear sign that this administration seeks to advance ideological viewpoints over the rights and protections that protect every person in this country” and that Dhillon has “focused her career on diminishing civil rights, rather than enforcing or protecting them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12017426 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/GettyImages-1341705984-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon was born to a Sikh family in India and grew up in North Carolina, as she \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11656135/trump-in-california-and-harmeet-dhillon-on-life-as-a-san-francisco-republican\">told KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a> in 2018. The family moved to Durham when Dhillon was 6 — she said when the family relocated there, “We didn’t know what the [Ku Klux] Klan was or any of that good stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My dad and brother wore turbans. And there was one other Sikh family and one Hindu family in the town, all doctors and their kids. And, you know, we stood out [with] our different names and, you know, different styles, I guess. And so there was a lot of bullying and teasing and so forth,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon said she was introverted and turned her focus toward academics, starting high school at age 12 and college at 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She became editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth Review and often clashed with the school’s administration, turning at one point to the ACLU for help. After she got a law degree, she made her name legally defending Sikhs from attacks after 9/11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After 9/11, we had a lot of people being harassed, frankly, by law enforcement, FBI, national security forces and profiling. We had a lot of hate crimes against Sikhs,” she said. “It was life and death. People like my brother who wears a turban, we’re getting called Osama bin Laden at, you know, the Giants games. It was a pretty scary time for people of color from our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She later sat on the ACLU of Northern California board for several years, but more recently, has been critical of the civil rights group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, she told Political Breakdown she was likely passed over for the civil rights position because Trump’s team was looking for people with deeper ties to Washington — “what I would call the swamp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
