His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The former Breitbart editor tackled issues including abortion and affirmative action in front of a sold out crowd. The event remained largely peaceful, which campus officials credited to added security that cost an estimated $600,000.

But they have also raised questions about how much coordination goes on between the authorities and participants, some of whom may engage in violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, the Berkeley Police Department consulted with militia members who attended a pro-Trump rally on April 15 before and during the riot between white nationalists and members of antifa, the loose-knit, far-left-leaning militant groups that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at protests and other events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A member of the Oath Keepers — a group of ex-military and police officers who often show up legally armed, they claim, to protect speakers at right-wing events — told KQED that they spoke extensively with a lieutenant in the Berkeley Police Department about the group’s logistics and planning of the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clyde Massengale of the California State Militia, who worked alongside the Oath Keepers in Berkeley, said both groups had coordinated with the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley Police Department Sgt. Andrew Frankel confirmed the department was in contact with the Oath Keepers during the rioting, as well as with “people from a number of different organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frankel wouldn’t elaborate about the nature of the conversations, but Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin defended the police outreach. He noted it’s common for police to coordinate with event leaders, regardless of politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As with any event, our police reach out to people who are identified as organizers,” Arreguin said. “Often times, most groups do cooperate with the police department and events go smoothly. These groups had no intention to cooperate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The paramilitary protesters often dress like armed officers and many of them are veterans of the military, so the line between cooperation and coordination can seem to blur. For example, in Portland, \u003ca href=\"http://www.opb.org/news/article/portland-police-chief-citizen-assisted-arrests/\">right-wing militia members aided U.S. Homeland Security officers\u003c/a> in arresting leftist protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Charlottesville, the white supremacists who helped organize the march said they were in constant contact with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had been coordinating with police for two months, including the day of,” Eli Mosley of the California-based white nationalist group Identity Evropa told KQED. “They had my phone number and I had theirs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11612257\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11612257 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A UC Berkeley police officer watches as a large and sometimes violent crowd protests against the scheduled appearance of Milo Yiannopoulos on campus on Feb. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(Bert Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>These interactions come just as the Trump administration \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/346552-trump-cut-funds-to-fight-anti-right-wing-violence\">halts federal funds for\u003c/a> investigating far-right organizations.

If someone is caught in a melee, well look … all rules are off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminal justice experts say police have little choice but to let these fights happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes intervention by police will result in everyone attacking the police,” said CSU San Bernardino professor Brian Levin. “If there’s one thing that can unify rival protesters, it’s the presence of the police. They’re making a tactical judgment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levin has studied violence on the extremes for more than two decades. He said these so-called free speech rallies have “really become roving street fights” that are growing in size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the last couple years, we’ve seen mega-rallies,” Levin said. “The number of people has gone up exponentially. There have been 24 violent political rallies in California since December 2015. We’re going to see more of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for police consulting with right-wing militias and white supremacists, Levin said, “the optics are horrible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re not as horrible as someone getting shot to death,” he continued. “Sometimes, all you have is a bunch of lousy options. What police will generally try to do is keep thoroughfares and roads open, and do the best they can to protect the general public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, white nationalists like Identity Evropa’s Nathan Damigo use the space that is void of police to fight — for the moment, and for future recruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo told KQED that even the video from Charlottesville showing a driver running over a crowd of counterprotesters — in which a woman was killed and many others injured — will help his cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every time there is a major incident like this, people will look to the media,” Damigo said. “And then a handful of them will go online and see what they weren’t being told by the media. And they’ll say, ‘Wait a minute, why is the media trying to manipulate my perception on this?’ And they realize they’re being lied to.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Andrew Frankel confirmed the department was in contact with the Oath Keepers during the rioting, as well as with “people from a number of different organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frankel wouldn’t elaborate about the nature of the conversations, but Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin defended the police outreach. He noted it’s common for police to coordinate with event leaders, regardless of politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As with any event, our police reach out to people who are identified as organizers,” Arreguin said. “Often times, most groups do cooperate with the police department and events go smoothly. These groups had no intention to cooperate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The paramilitary protesters often dress like armed officers and many of them are veterans of the military, so the line between cooperation and coordination can seem to blur.

If someone is caught in a melee, well look … all rules are off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminal justice experts say police have little choice but to let these fights happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes intervention by police will result in everyone attacking the police,” said CSU San Bernardino professor Brian Levin. “If there’s one thing that can unify rival protesters, it’s the presence of the police. They’re making a tactical judgment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levin has studied violence on the extremes for more than two decades. He said these so-called free speech rallies have “really become roving street fights” that are growing in size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the last couple years, we’ve seen mega-rallies,” Levin said. “The number of people has gone up exponentially. There have been 24 violent political rallies in California since December 2015. We’re going to see more of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for police consulting with right-wing militias and white supremacists, Levin said, “the optics are horrible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re not as horrible as someone getting shot to death,” he continued. “Sometimes, all you have is a bunch of lousy options. What police will generally try to do is keep thoroughfares and roads open, and do the best they can to protect the general public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, white nationalists like Identity Evropa’s Nathan Damigo use the space that is void of police to fight — for the moment, and for future recruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo told KQED that even the video from Charlottesville showing a driver running over a crowd of counterprotesters — in which a woman was killed and many others injured — will help his cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every time there is a major incident like this, people will look to the media,” Damigo said. “And then a handful of them will go online and see what they weren’t being told by the media. And they’ll say, ‘Wait a minute, why is the media trying to manipulate my perception on this?’ And they realize they’re being lied to.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The Berkeley Fire Department’s average response time is 5.5 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The response time was so delayed that a Berkeley paramedic was required by law to file an “Unusual Occurrence” form with Alameda County. Paramedic supervisor Rachel Valenzuela filed the form Dec. 9, less than two days after the Dec. 7 call on Kittredge. The form indicated that patient care had been affected during the call, and replied in the affirmative to the question of “Could this event cause a community reaction or represent a threat to public safety?” Berkeley Fire Chief Gil Dong said Tuesday he could not clarify what “this event” referred to, but said the addendum to the form provided additional detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly all medical information was redacted from the documents, but they did reveal that three paramedics provided advanced life support to the man during his eight-minute journey to the hospital, where he arrived about 52 minutes after dispatchers first received a 911 call about his condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County coroner’s office identified the man Thursday as Alvin Henry Jones Jr., a 63-year-old Berkeley resident who died of natural causes. According to the coroner’s office, Jones died Dec. 9 at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley. Jones reportedly is survived by a sister who lives in New York, but Berkeleyside was unable to locate her prior to publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>DEC. 7: THE TIMELINE\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>6:39 p.m. Caller informs dispatch that paramedics are needed on Kittredge\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>6:40 p.m. Engine and medic are dispatched, but told to wait at the station for police\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>6:40 p.m., 6:49 p.m., 6:55 p.m., 7:03 p.m. Medical condition notes redacted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:03 p.m. Police arrive at Berkeley Fire Station 2 (23 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:05 p.m. Police and fire arrive at Kittredge (25 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:07 p.m. Paramedics reach patient (27 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:23 p.m. Paramedics and patient en route to hospital (43 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:31 p.m. Paramedics arrive at hospital (52 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the addendum, Valenzuela wrote that an engine and medic were dispatched at 6:40 p.m. to Kittredge Street — about a minute after the initial call — but were directed by a commander “to stage in quarters due to protest activity in the immediate area of the call. It was reported to the crews a large group of protestors were within a block of the call and the medical response were to stage in quarters until a police escort could escort us to the call.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team waited for police at Fire Station 2, at 2029 Berkeley Way, and received periodic updates on its computer system about the call, according to the addendum. At 6:46 p.m., according to another Berkeley Fire Department report that included a log with time-stamps, the reporting party from Kittredge called dispatch again. Details about that call were redacted, as were other updates related to the man’s medical condition at 6:40 p.m., 6:49 p.m. and 7:03 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeleyside reviewed scanner recordings to learn more about the incident. In those recordings, the man was identified as a 62-year-old who had collapsed on the fifth floor of 2175 Kittredge St. A fire dispatcher said the man was having “difficulty breathing, and sweating,” adding: “The subject will be in front of the elevator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crowd — which had begun walking from campus through the Southside neighborhood and on into downtown at about 6 p.m. — at that point was described on the radio as 800-strong.

There was also a police barricade set up, blocking Martin Luther King Jr. Way between Addison and Center streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10426174\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2014-12-19-at-1.55.18-PM-720x492.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10426174\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2014-12-19-at-1.55.18-PM-720x492.png\" alt=\"Demonstrators (marked by the bullhorn) were between paramedics on Berkeley Way and an urgent medical call on Kittredge on the second night of significant protests in Berkeley earlier this month.

The patient was “quickly brought to the ambulance due to protest getting closer.” The supervisor wrote that there was a “slight delay on scene” related to the extrication of the patient, but no further detail was provided.

She and others expressed frustration that management does not make efforts to inform residents about critical news in the building. A representative for Oxford Plaza did not respond to repeated requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several city workers aware of the case told Berkeleyside the man who was assisted by paramedics later died at the hospital, and was believed to have had a heart attack. There is no way to know whether the man might have survived had paramedics reached him sooner, given the amount of information that has been released, but prompt treatment has been shown to make a difference in the treatment of heart attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When a heart attack happens, delay in treatment can be deadly,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. “Treatment works best when it’s given right after symptoms occur. ... Many more people could survive or recover better from heart attacks if they got help faster. Of the people who die from heart attacks, about half die within an hour of the first symptoms and before they reach the hospital.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the records reviewed by Berkeleyside, it took first responders about 27 minutes to reach the man, and another 16 minutes to get him into the ambulance to leave for the hospital. The Fire Department’s average response time is 5.5 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not the first time local protests have been linked to a death in Berkeley. In 2013, the city settled a lawsuit with the family of \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/10/22/cukor-family-settles-lawsuit-against-berkeley-police/\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Cukor\u003c/a>, a man who was attacked and killed outside his Berkeley Hills home in 2012, after authorities said they had waited to respond to the call — which initially was not categorized as an emergency — to ensure they had enough resources on hand to respond to protests in Oakland. The city admitted no fault in that matter, but agreed to change dispatching procedures as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Some Blame City Policy, Rather Than Protests\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fire Chief Dong said he could not release any details related to the man’s health, or ultimate health outcome, citing privacy laws covering medical records. Berkeleyside first reported the death in December after several city employees confirmed, under condition of anonymity, that the man died after emergency crews were delayed in reaching him due to protests in the city Dec. 7. Since then, the city’s Police Review Commission has pledged to look into the movement of emergency vehicles as part of an independent investigation into the police response to the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some supporters of the protests reacted strongly to the December story, and said they believe the death should have been more properly attributed to a city policy that determines under what circumstances firefighters are accompanied to calls by police officers. Wrote someone identified only as “justiceplease”: “The protests in themselves didn’t do anything. Either the police delayed the help, or the paramedics delayed the help because they chose to wait for the police escort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added a commenter who identified himself as Michael: “This is tragic, but it’s awfully knee-jerky to lay this squarely at the feet of protesters, the majority of whom were peaceful. Civil disobedience is disruptive. You can bet that MLK delayed an ambulance or two in his time; it’s so shortsighted to draw from this one tragic incident the conclusion that the entire movement is without merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others questioned the logic of decisions made Dec. 7 by first responders, said the crowd was unlikely to have posed an obstacle for an ambulance, and said the Fire Department should have tried harder to get to the man sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Chief: “We Can’t Predict Whether or Not It’s Going To Be Peaceful”\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dong said in December that long-standing department policies prohibit firefighters from entering active protest zones without police escorts. Those policies date back to the late 1980s and '90s, he said, when there were riots in People’s Park as well as other demonstrations in Berkeley following the Rodney King beating by police in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeleyside sought all available documents regarding the Dec. 7 medical call to Kittredge to look more closely at the timeline, as well as what role the protests reportedly played for first responders that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong told Berkeleyside in December that his department fielded 16 calls in and around areas overtaken by demonstrations in Berkeley from Dec. 6-8. Those calls saw “extended delayed response times” of 5-25 minutes due to the protests, either because ambulances were unable to get through streets blocked by crowds, or because police escorts were not immediately available because officers were busy with other demonstration-related duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said this week that Berkeley’s protocol regarding when police escorts are needed is a standard approach that is widely used. He did not have a document citation immediately available, but said he would try to locate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Police and firefighters have been killed and injured nationwide getting in to violent scenes,” Dong said Tuesday. “That’s why we’re cautious when we enter any scene, whether it’s an individual assault victim or a protest that is violent, with the potential for rock or bottle-throwing … which we observed on Dec. 6, 7 and 8.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said protesters threw projectiles at police, injuring officers, on Saturday night, Dec. 6. Members of the crowd also hurled items at police Sunday, Dec. 7, though police kept their distance from the demonstrations throughout most of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When there are protests, and there is movement of protests, we can’t predict whether or not it’s going to be peaceful,” said Dong. “Fire departments and firefighters are not immune from getting hurt or injured during protests. … We’ve seen the protests get violent, so we’re going to approach things cautiously and with safety for all responders and others involved at all times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said there is a “standing protocol” that firefighters will not enter a scene until police determine it is safe if there is a potential for violence. He said it’s not a decision made on the fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dispatchers know to ask police, who advise when it’s safe to enter,” he said. “That’s passed on to the Berkeley Fire Department. We work with, and wait for, the law enforcement determination about when it’s safe to enter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said the Fire Department does not track fatalities in the city and does not keep a record of wait times on calls for police escorts.

The Berkeley Fire Department’s average response time is 5.5 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The response time was so delayed that a Berkeley paramedic was required by law to file an “Unusual Occurrence” form with Alameda County. Paramedic supervisor Rachel Valenzuela filed the form Dec. 9, less than two days after the Dec. 7 call on Kittredge. The form indicated that patient care had been affected during the call, and replied in the affirmative to the question of “Could this event cause a community reaction or represent a threat to public safety?” Berkeley Fire Chief Gil Dong said Tuesday he could not clarify what “this event” referred to, but said the addendum to the form provided additional detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly all medical information was redacted from the documents, but they did reveal that three paramedics provided advanced life support to the man during his eight-minute journey to the hospital, where he arrived about 52 minutes after dispatchers first received a 911 call about his condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County coroner’s office identified the man Thursday as Alvin Henry Jones Jr., a 63-year-old Berkeley resident who died of natural causes. According to the coroner’s office, Jones died Dec. 9 at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley. Jones reportedly is survived by a sister who lives in New York, but Berkeleyside was unable to locate her prior to publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>DEC. 7: THE TIMELINE\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>6:39 p.m. Caller informs dispatch that paramedics are needed on Kittredge\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>6:40 p.m. Engine and medic are dispatched, but told to wait at the station for police\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>6:40 p.m., 6:49 p.m., 6:55 p.m., 7:03 p.m. Medical condition notes redacted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:03 p.m. Police arrive at Berkeley Fire Station 2 (23 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:05 p.m. Police and fire arrive at Kittredge (25 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:07 p.m. Paramedics reach patient (27 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:23 p.m. Paramedics and patient en route to hospital (43 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7:31 p.m. Paramedics arrive at hospital (52 minutes elapsed)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the addendum, Valenzuela wrote that an engine and medic were dispatched at 6:40 p.m. to Kittredge Street — about a minute after the initial call — but were directed by a commander “to stage in quarters due to protest activity in the immediate area of the call.

At 6:46 p.m., according to another Berkeley Fire Department report that included a log with time-stamps, the reporting party from Kittredge called dispatch again.

In those recordings, the man was identified as a 62-year-old who had collapsed on the fifth floor of 2175 Kittredge St. A fire dispatcher said the man was having “difficulty breathing, and sweating,” adding: “The subject will be in front of the elevator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crowd — which had begun walking from campus through the Southside neighborhood and on into downtown at about 6 p.m. — at that point was described on the radio as 800-strong.

The patient was “quickly brought to the ambulance due to protest getting closer.” The supervisor wrote that there was a “slight delay on scene” related to the extrication of the patient, but no further detail was provided. (Dong said Tuesday he could not comment on the nature of the extrication due to medical privacy laws.) One source familiar with the call said paramedics had to revive the man at the scene before taking him to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While in front of building prior to transport [redacted], multiple police officers were on scene protecting EMS crews and BFD BC [Battalion Chief] was on scene stating immediate transport needed due to volatile protest and scene safety,” according to the addendum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man was taken to a local hospital at 7:23 p.m., with a “Code 3″ status, meaning lights and sirens were used.

She and others expressed frustration that management does not make efforts to inform residents about critical news in the building. A representative for Oxford Plaza did not respond to repeated requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several city workers aware of the case told Berkeleyside the man who was assisted by paramedics later died at the hospital, and was believed to have had a heart attack. There is no way to know whether the man might have survived had paramedics reached him sooner, given the amount of information that has been released, but prompt treatment has been shown to make a difference in the treatment of heart attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When a heart attack happens, delay in treatment can be deadly,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. “Treatment works best when it’s given right after symptoms occur. ... Many more people could survive or recover better from heart attacks if they got help faster. Of the people who die from heart attacks, about half die within an hour of the first symptoms and before they reach the hospital.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the records reviewed by Berkeleyside, it took first responders about 27 minutes to reach the man, and another 16 minutes to get him into the ambulance to leave for the hospital. The Fire Department’s average response time is 5.5 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not the first time local protests have been linked to a death in Berkeley. In 2013, the city settled a lawsuit with the family of \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/10/22/cukor-family-settles-lawsuit-against-berkeley-police/\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Cukor\u003c/a>, a man who was attacked and killed outside his Berkeley Hills home in 2012, after authorities said they had waited to respond to the call — which initially was not categorized as an emergency — to ensure they had enough resources on hand to respond to protests in Oakland. The city admitted no fault in that matter, but agreed to change dispatching procedures as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Some Blame City Policy, Rather Than Protests\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fire Chief Dong said he could not release any details related to the man’s health, or ultimate health outcome, citing privacy laws covering medical records. Berkeleyside first reported the death in December after several city employees confirmed, under condition of anonymity, that the man died after emergency crews were delayed in reaching him due to protests in the city Dec. 7. Since then, the city’s Police Review Commission has pledged to look into the movement of emergency vehicles as part of an independent investigation into the police response to the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some supporters of the protests reacted strongly to the December story, and said they believe the death should have been more properly attributed to a city policy that determines under what circumstances firefighters are accompanied to calls by police officers. Wrote someone identified only as “justiceplease”: “The protests in themselves didn’t do anything. Either the police delayed the help, or the paramedics delayed the help because they chose to wait for the police escort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added a commenter who identified himself as Michael: “This is tragic, but it’s awfully knee-jerky to lay this squarely at the feet of protesters, the majority of whom were peaceful. Civil disobedience is disruptive. You can bet that MLK delayed an ambulance or two in his time; it’s so shortsighted to draw from this one tragic incident the conclusion that the entire movement is without merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others questioned the logic of decisions made Dec. 7 by first responders, said the crowd was unlikely to have posed an obstacle for an ambulance, and said the Fire Department should have tried harder to get to the man sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Chief: “We Can’t Predict Whether or Not It’s Going To Be Peaceful”\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dong said in December that long-standing department policies prohibit firefighters from entering active protest zones without police escorts. Those policies date back to the late 1980s and '90s, he said, when there were riots in People’s Park as well as other demonstrations in Berkeley following the Rodney King beating by police in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeleyside sought all available documents regarding the Dec. 7 medical call to Kittredge to look more closely at the timeline, as well as what role the protests reportedly played for first responders that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong told Berkeleyside in December that his department fielded 16 calls in and around areas overtaken by demonstrations in Berkeley from Dec. 6-8. Those calls saw “extended delayed response times” of 5-25 minutes due to the protests, either because ambulances were unable to get through streets blocked by crowds, or because police escorts were not immediately available because officers were busy with other demonstration-related duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said this week that Berkeley’s protocol regarding when police escorts are needed is a standard approach that is widely used. He did not have a document citation immediately available, but said he would try to locate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Police and firefighters have been killed and injured nationwide getting in to violent scenes,” Dong said Tuesday. “That’s why we’re cautious when we enter any scene, whether it’s an individual assault victim or a protest that is violent, with the potential for rock or bottle-throwing … which we observed on Dec. 6, 7 and 8.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said protesters threw projectiles at police, injuring officers, on Saturday night, Dec. 6. Members of the crowd also hurled items at police Sunday, Dec. 7, though police kept their distance from the demonstrations throughout most of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When there are protests, and there is movement of protests, we can’t predict whether or not it’s going to be peaceful,” said Dong. “Fire departments and firefighters are not immune from getting hurt or injured during protests. … We’ve seen the protests get violent, so we’re going to approach things cautiously and with safety for all responders and others involved at all times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said there is a “standing protocol” that firefighters will not enter a scene until police determine it is safe if there is a potential for violence. He said it’s not a decision made on the fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dispatchers know to ask police, who advise when it’s safe to enter,” he said. “That’s passed on to the Berkeley Fire Department. We work with, and wait for, the law enforcement determination about when it’s safe to enter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said the Fire Department does not track fatalities in the city and does not keep a record of wait times on calls for police escorts. He said, in addition, he could not speculate about how current police staffing numbers might be impacting those wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Generally, when we get calls that involve violence, the police department gets there pretty quick,” Dong said. “Response times are generally pretty fast when there’s violence or the potential for violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This month, sales have been down 5 percent compared with last December, which he partially attributes to the bad weather, but assumes is a consequence of the protests, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Bigglestone’s vantage point, the vandalism looks like a “crime of opportunity” committed by “infiltrators” latching onto a bigger movement to accomplish their own goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some local protests, organizers have advised demonstrators to keep peaceful. At the beginning of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/13/uc-berkeleys-black-student-union-leads-peaceful-protest-march-from-campus-to-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">march led by the UC Berkeley Black Student Union\u003c/a> on Saturday, Dec. 13, Cal junior Alana Banks instructed protesters to “disrupt business as usual,” but refrain from physically disrupting their surroundings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, speaking through a megaphone to merchants in the Elmwood, she said, “We’re not here to destroy your shit. We’re here because black lives matter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Monday, Dec. 8, Berkeley protest, UC Berkeley student Melissa Hossain, who had been in attendance when businesses were damaged the previous night, said her impression was that most of the vandals were unaffiliated with the cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s white anarchists who are taking over this protest,” she said. “They’re setting trashcans on fire, they’re vandalizing buildings, and this is not part of the cause. They’re here for their own purposes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other organizers, including those affiliated with the group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), have argued that it’s necessary to disturb the peace to capture the public’s attention and effect change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t have business as usual when it comes to … saving people’s lives and stopping the police from murdering,” Yvette Felarca of BAMN said at the protests on Dec. 7. She said “it wasn’t until there was that kind of action” that the officer who killed Oscar Grant in Oakland was arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the night of Dec. 7, protesters argued among themselves about whether to vandalize shops. That night, Berkeley police, acting on an order from City Manager Christine Daniel, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/08/city-of-berkeley-told-police-to-use-restraint-avoid-tear-gas-on-second-night-of-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">took a deliberately hands-off approach\u003c/a> during the protests. The previous night, officers had used tear gas on demonstrators and shot non-lethal projectiles at them, which concerned some city officials. Police made 11 arrests over the course of the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, city staff were working actively during the protests, said city spokesman Matthai Chakko, who was in the police emergency command center during some of the protests. Economic development staff have been in close contact with affected merchants, and public works staff have worked throughout the nights cleaning debris and garbage, and bringing plywood to board up damaged windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hard to get a contractor to come out at 2 in the morning,” Chakko said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downtown merchants expressed appreciation for the DBA advisories, which included details on known protest plans and tips for businesses not to leave out loose items or trashcans that could be used by vandals. But Bigglestone said he had trouble getting his trash picked up quickly, despite the advisories’ promise that special pickup could be arranged if cans were kept inside on trash night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roland Peterson, who heads up the Telegraph Business Improvement District, said he had warned merchants in advance of protests, but only on the occasions when “he had consistent, solid information that a protest would occur and begin at Telegraph and Bancroft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have also had a fair number of conversations with merchants who have asked me questions like, ‘Should I board up my windows?’ or ‘Should I close?' ” he said. “Of course, in advance I can’t really answer either one of those questions for them. Mainly I have tried to be a reliable source of good information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the lack of police presence Dec. 7, some merchants and residents took it upon themselves to monitor the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A row of regulars at \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/07/02/berkeleys-iconic-caffe-mediterraneum-is-up-for-sale/\" target=\"_blank\">Caffe Med on Telegraph\u003c/a> stood vigil in front of the famous coffee shop, along with owner Craig Becker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stewart Johnston, owner of Johnston Medical on Shattuck in South Berkeley, stood guard outside that same night and helped put out a trashcan fire. He said there were no police to be seen, but a resident came out and successfully instructed the protesters not to destroy any more small shops in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve never once gotten a warning from the police,” Johnston said. “But I have no criticism of the Berkeley police. It’s very difficult to know how to handle it. It seems strange to be breaking windows and looting and call it a protest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At True Value, Wong said he was grateful that the police exhibited some restraint on Sunday even though his windows were broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police should keep calm in those situations, otherwise [protesters would] be more wild,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bigglestone said videos and photographs of the protests on Saturday make him think the police “overreacted” that night. One of his customer’s kids was bruised trying to help a protester knocked down by an officer, and another was arrested and let go after three days without charges being filed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But it’s not my job to protect and serve, so I can’t say,” Bigglestone said. “In the face of big-style vandalism like we saw on the 7th, it’s kind of difficult to say.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED News Associate \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeleyside\u003c/a> is an independently owned news website based in Berkeley, Calif. \u003ca href=\"http://eepurl.com/lh_3b\" target=\"_blank\">Click here\u003c/a> if you would you like to receive the latest Berkeley news in your inbox once a day for free with Berkeleyside's Daily Briefing email.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

They’re here for their own purposes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other organizers, including those affiliated with the group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), have argued that it’s necessary to disturb the peace to capture the public’s attention and effect change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t have business as usual when it comes to … saving people’s lives and stopping the police from murdering,” Yvette Felarca of BAMN said at the protests on Dec. 7. She said “it wasn’t until there was that kind of action” that the officer who killed Oscar Grant in Oakland was arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the night of Dec. 7, protesters argued among themselves about whether to vandalize shops. That night, Berkeley police, acting on an order from City Manager Christine Daniel, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/08/city-of-berkeley-told-police-to-use-restraint-avoid-tear-gas-on-second-night-of-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">took a deliberately hands-off approach\u003c/a> during the protests. The previous night, officers had used tear gas on demonstrators and shot non-lethal projectiles at them, which concerned some city officials. Police made 11 arrests over the course of the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, city staff were working actively during the protests, said city spokesman Matthai Chakko, who was in the police emergency command center during some of the protests. Economic development staff have been in close contact with affected merchants, and public works staff have worked throughout the nights cleaning debris and garbage, and bringing plywood to board up damaged windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hard to get a contractor to come out at 2 in the morning,” Chakko said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downtown merchants expressed appreciation for the DBA advisories, which included details on known protest plans and tips for businesses not to leave out loose items or trashcans that could be used by vandals. But Bigglestone said he had trouble getting his trash picked up quickly, despite the advisories’ promise that special pickup could be arranged if cans were kept inside on trash night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roland Peterson, who heads up the Telegraph Business Improvement District, said he had warned merchants in advance of protests, but only on the occasions when “he had consistent, solid information that a protest would occur and begin at Telegraph and Bancroft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have also had a fair number of conversations with merchants who have asked me questions like, ‘Should I board up my windows?’ or ‘Should I close?' ” he said. “Of course, in advance I can’t really answer either one of those questions for them. Mainly I have tried to be a reliable source of good information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the lack of police presence Dec. 7, some merchants and residents took it upon themselves to monitor the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A row of regulars at \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/07/02/berkeleys-iconic-caffe-mediterraneum-is-up-for-sale/\" target=\"_blank\">Caffe Med on Telegraph\u003c/a> stood vigil in front of the famous coffee shop, along with owner Craig Becker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stewart Johnston, owner of Johnston Medical on Shattuck in South Berkeley, stood guard outside that same night and helped put out a trashcan fire. He said there were no police to be seen, but a resident came out and successfully instructed the protesters not to destroy any more small shops in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve never once gotten a warning from the police,” Johnston said. “But I have no criticism of the Berkeley police. It’s very difficult to know how to handle it. It seems strange to be breaking windows and looting and call it a protest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At True Value, Wong said he was grateful that the police exhibited some restraint on Sunday even though his windows were broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police should keep calm in those situations, otherwise [protesters would] be more wild,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bigglestone said videos and photographs of the protests on Saturday make him think the police “overreacted” that night. One of his customer’s kids was bruised trying to help a protester knocked down by an officer, and another was arrested and let go after three days without charges being filed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But it’s not my job to protect and serve, so I can’t say,” Bigglestone said. “In the face of big-style vandalism like we saw on the 7th, it’s kind of difficult to say.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

According to Police Chief Michael Meehan, some protesters started to throw rocks and bricks at officers stationed there.

City Councilwoman Linda Maio has also said the city should look into all of the allegations of force used by police, but she did not mention wanting a complete review of that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police are already guided by a set of rules and procedures that outlines how they should act during protests, and how they should use both lethal and non-lethal force. Berkeley police are prohibited, for example, from using pepper spray as a form of crowd control. They are also barred from using chokeholds, like the one that contributed to Garner’s death in Staten Island. Berkeley police cannot use rubber bullets or Tasers either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Existing rules allow the use of chemical agents, but there is nothing specific about tear gas. Bernstein said the entire PRC feels those circumstances need to be spelled out specifically, along with conditions when it may be appropriate to use over-the-shoulder baton hits and projectiles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the City Council does not take up the question as an emergency agenda item at its next meeting — scheduled for Tuesday — it will most likely look at the issue in January, said Bernstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Tom Bates said he, alone, does not have the authority to create an emergency agenda item.

Meehan said at \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/09/breaking-city-of-berkeley-calls-invite-only-press-conference-for-tv-news-only/\" target=\"_blank\">a press conference Tuesday\u003c/a> that his department will review complaints, including those of police officers covering their badges with tape so they cannot be identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Council members Kriss Worthington and Jesse Arreguín have called for an \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/10/2-officials-demand-investigation-into-police-tear-gas-use-in-berkeley-protest/\" target=\"_blank\">independent investigation of police actions\u003c/a>. City Councilwoman Linda Maio has also said the city should look into all of the allegations of force used by police, but she did not mention wanting a complete review of that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police are already guided by a set of rules and procedures that outlines how they should act during protests, and how they should use both lethal and non-lethal force. Berkeley police are prohibited, for example, from using pepper spray as a form of crowd control. They are also barred from using chokeholds, like the one that contributed to Garner’s death in Staten Island. Berkeley police cannot use rubber bullets or Tasers either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Existing rules allow the use of chemical agents, but there is nothing specific about tear gas. Bernstein said the entire PRC feels those circumstances need to be spelled out specifically, along with conditions when it may be appropriate to use over-the-shoulder baton hits and projectiles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the City Council does not take up the question as an emergency agenda item at its next meeting — scheduled for Tuesday — it will most likely look at the issue in January, said Bernstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Tom Bates said he, alone, does not have the authority to create an emergency agenda item. That would be up to the entire council to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
