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.",

Black residents have among the city’s highest mortality rates and lowest median household incomes, and are involved in a disproportionately high percentage of police use-of-force incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I grew up in poverty. I've had to live in poverty over 20 years of my life. And the frustration that came from living like that and then seeing so many of my friends who had been killed or in jail or on drugs — that is my motivation,\" Breed said. \"Because just imagine if we can change the outcome of African Americans in San Francisco. What an incredible thriving city we truly will be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spending plan comes nearly seven months after Breed and Board of Supervisors President Shamann Walton \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831527/sf-mayor-breeds-new-budget-would-redirect-120-million-from-police-to-citys-black-community\">floated the idea\u003c/a> as part of the mayor's nearly $14 billion budget proposal for this fiscal year — a version of which \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/supes-approve-13-6b-city-budget-in-a-10-1-vote/\">was passed by supervisors\u003c/a> in September. Breed has billed the city's transfer of funds from law enforcement agencies as a necessary reparation for city policies that she says led to “decades of disinvestment” in Black communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This initial investment to improve outcomes for the Black community and overturn years of disinvestment and inequitable resource distribution is just the first step in righting the wrongs of history,” Walton said in \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-london-breed-announces-spending-plan-historic-reinvestment-san-franciscos-african\">a statement\u003c/a>. “We now have to continue to prioritize communities that have never had a chance to build true wealth and this is a first step towards true reparations for the Black community here in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for the initiative comes from roughly $80 million in cuts, over two years, from the San Francisco Police Department, reducing its nearly\u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/sites/default/files/CSF_Budget_Book_June_2019_Final_Web_REV2.pdf\"> $700 million annual budget\u003c/a> by almost 6%. The remaining $40 million is from Sheriff's Department cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move is in large part a response to the huge, prolonged demonstrations — in San Francisco and around the world — following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, and amid growing calls to shift resources away from law enforcement. In June, Breed also directed the Police Department to no longer\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\"> respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a> and to revise its accountability practices and stop using military-grade equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When first announced last summer, the heads of both of law enforcement departments expressed initial, if measured, support for the cuts, most of which would come from not filling vacant positions and reducing overtime expenditures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew there would be pain and sacrifice associated with these budget cuts, but we also know they're necessary to fulfill the promise of Mayor Breed's and Sup. Walton's reinvestment initiative to support racial equality,” San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said in a statement in July. “While the cuts are significant, they are cuts we can absorb and that will not diminish our ability to provide essential services.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The remaining 5% would go toward developing a plan to replace police officers with social workers as the main responders to noncriminal calls involving the homeless and mentally ill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those allocations reflect spending priorities conveyed by Black residents during a series of recent community meetings and public surveys led by the city’s Human Rights Commission, Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important that we listen to Black voices. It's important that we allow Black people to lead this movement,” Breed said at a press conference Friday. “We have to listen to the people in the community. We have to listen to the people who have seen and lived the devastation resulting from decades of disinvestment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Sheriff’s Department, meanwhile, would see a total of $20 million in cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heads of both of those departments expressed initial, if measured, support for the proposed cuts, most of which would come from not filling vacant positions and reducing overtime expenditures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew there would be pain and sacrifice associated with these budget cuts, but we also know they're necessary to fulfill the promise of Mayor Breed's and Sup.

In June, Breed also directed the Police Department to no longer\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\"> respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, revise its accountability and anti-bias practices and stop using military-grade equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

About 100 people spoke during public comment for the meeting and the vast majority of them told council to support a Davila proposal to reduce the police budget \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-07-14-Item-18b-Support-Redistribution-of-City.pdf\">by at least 50%\u003c/a>. Davila said officials also got 700 emails in support of her item.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Arreguín item \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Mayor-Supp-3-Police-Items.pdf\">blended five proposals\u003c/a> from different council members designed to reshape local policing. They ranged from creating a \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Item-18e-Rev-Robinson.pdf\">new Department of Transportation (“BerkDOT”)\u003c/a>; launching a \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-07-14-Item-18a-Safety-for-All-The-George-Floyd.pdf\">comprehensive audit of police calls\u003c/a>; and creating a \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-07-14-Item-18c-Referral-to-City-Manager.pdf\">robust community process\u003c/a> around a variety of public safety reforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Berkeley Councilman Rigel Robinson\"]‘I’m committed to digging into this process until we hit gold or until we hit bedrock.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the mayor’s revised item, the city will now move forward with Councilmember Rigel Robinson’s proposal to create BerkDOT “to ensure a racial justice lens in traffic enforcement” and find ways to eliminate or reduce “pretextual stops based on minor traffic violations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city will also now work to develop a pilot program to “re-assign non-criminal police service calls” to a new Specialized Care Unit staffed by a “network of crisis responders.” The city auditor’s office will also take a deep dive into police calls and traffic stops. Those items came from Councilmember Ben Bartlett’s proposal for what he called the George Floyd Community Safety Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s item also sets in motion a “public safety reimagining process” that will feature “transparent community forums to listen, learn and receive people’s ideas about how policing should be re-imagined and transformed so that communities of color can be safer within their neighborhoods, the City of Berkeley, and trust in the Berkeley Police Department can begin to be rebuilt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Narrowing the Police Focus\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As part of the public process, the city will look at what duties might eventually be shifted away from police so officers can focus on “violent and criminal matters” rather than calls about people in mental health crises or living in homeless camps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That public process will also include, as per Davila’s proposal, consideration of “the goal of reducing the Berkeley Police Department budget by 50%, to be based on the results of requested studies and analysis and achieved through programs such as the Specialized Care Unit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also in line with the Davila item, the city will look at ways to reduce the police budget so more money can be spent on youth and restorative justice programs, housing and homeless services, and mental health services, among other community needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During public comment, many community members said the mayor’s item did not go far enough, fast enough. One described it as a “pathetic attempt to placate the will of the people at the 11th hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his remarks, Bartlett tried to allay some of those concerns, saying he saw the omnibus motion as something that would be both sustainable and groundbreaking while creating a model the rest of the country could follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hate bureaucracy and I hate everything slow,” he said. “These items are meant to go up at the same time as a system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as the new transportation department, Robinson said he hoped it could change the relationship the public has to policing. He said reform must, however, be done in a way that doesn’t put city employees or first responders in danger. Details will be worked out in the upcoming public safety process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m committed to digging into this process until we hit gold or until we hit bedrock,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Desire for Change\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Next to the Davila proposal to defund BPD by 50%, the BerkDOT item saw the most praise from community members during public comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traffic enforcement is “a tool of broken policing to just do investigations on disproportionately Black and brown drivers and it endangers everyone,” local resident Darrell Owens told city officials. “The status quo has not kept the public safe: Remove it away from the police into a department focused around equity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the night, the vast majority of public commenters said police should be defunded or abolished, that policing is based on white supremacy and protects only the monied interests, and that police do not make the community safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"police-reform\"]“Defund the police 100% immediately and start by firing the police chief,” said a woman with the Zoom name Isis Feral. She said police are “armed thugs in uniform” who criminalize and brutalize Black and brown people and take away their freedom. They are “the boot boys of the ruling class,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a few people also wrote or called to say they have appreciated the longstanding record of restraint and professionalism from the Berkeley Police Department and its chief. Others noted that bias is present in all aspects of society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t give up on our police,” said a speaker with the Zoom name Jovi Tseng, “because most of their biases are also our own.” Tseng said that, while “we can definitely have better police… they’re not fundamentally evil.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During public comment, speaker after speaker expressed their gratitude for Councilmember Davila. They said she represented the community’s views and called on her colleagues to support her more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many said they had been disgusted, earlier in the night, when no other council member supported a late item from Davila to censure the Berkeley Police Chief Andrew Greenwood for \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2020/07/14/davila-calls-for-council-vote-against-berkeley-police-chief-tuesday-night\">controversial comments he made \u003c/a>during a June council meeting in response to a question about use of force. As a result, the item could not be considered for Tuesday’s agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor explained to the public that Davila’s item had not met the narrow legal standard for late items, which requires the need for immediate action and that the issue “must have come to light only since the agenda was posted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila pledged to bring back her item calling for a no-confidence vote in the police chief through the regular council agenda process. She thanked the many community members who made their voices heard Tuesday night and into the early hours Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the latest we’ve ever had a council meeting and there’s still 141 people on the line,” Davila said toward the end of the meeting. “Put your fists up high and stand for Black Lives Matter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Emilie Raguso is Berkeleyside’s senior editor of news.

About 100 people spoke during public comment for the meeting and the vast majority of them told council to support a Davila proposal to reduce the police budget \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-07-14-Item-18b-Support-Redistribution-of-City.pdf\">by at least 50%\u003c/a>. Davila said officials also got 700 emails in support of her item.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Arreguín item \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Mayor-Supp-3-Police-Items.pdf\">blended five proposals\u003c/a> from different council members designed to reshape local policing. They ranged from creating a \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Item-18e-Rev-Robinson.pdf\">new Department of Transportation (“BerkDOT”)\u003c/a>; launching a \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-07-14-Item-18a-Safety-for-All-The-George-Floyd.pdf\">comprehensive audit of police calls\u003c/a>; and creating a \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-07-14-Item-18c-Referral-to-City-Manager.pdf\">robust community process\u003c/a> around a variety of public safety reforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those items came from Councilmember Ben Bartlett’s proposal for what he called the George Floyd Community Safety Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s item also sets in motion a “public safety reimagining process” that will feature “transparent community forums to listen, learn and receive people’s ideas about how policing should be re-imagined and transformed so that communities of color can be safer within their neighborhoods, the City of Berkeley, and trust in the Berkeley Police Department can begin to be rebuilt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Narrowing the Police Focus\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As part of the public process, the city will look at what duties might eventually be shifted away from police so officers can focus on “violent and criminal matters” rather than calls about people in mental health crises or living in homeless camps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That public process will also include, as per Davila’s proposal, consideration of “the goal of reducing the Berkeley Police Department budget by 50%, to be based on the results of requested studies and analysis and achieved through programs such as the Specialized Care Unit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also in line with the Davila item, the city will look at ways to reduce the police budget so more money can be spent on youth and restorative justice programs, housing and homeless services, and mental health services, among other community needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During public comment, many community members said the mayor’s item did not go far enough, fast enough. One described it as a “pathetic attempt to placate the will of the people at the 11th hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his remarks, Bartlett tried to allay some of those concerns, saying he saw the omnibus motion as something that would be both sustainable and groundbreaking while creating a model the rest of the country could follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said reform must, however, be done in a way that doesn’t put city employees or first responders in danger. Details will be worked out in the upcoming public safety process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m committed to digging into this process until we hit gold or until we hit bedrock,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Desire for Change\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Next to the Davila proposal to defund BPD by 50%, the BerkDOT item saw the most praise from community members during public comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traffic enforcement is “a tool of broken policing to just do investigations on disproportionately Black and brown drivers and it endangers everyone,” local resident Darrell Owens told city officials. “The status quo has not kept the public safe: Remove it away from the police into a department focused around equity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the night, the vast majority of public commenters said police should be defunded or abolished, that policing is based on white supremacy and protects only the monied interests, and that police do not make the community safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She said police are “armed thugs in uniform” who criminalize and brutalize Black and brown people and take away their freedom. They are “the boot boys of the ruling class,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a few people also wrote or called to say they have appreciated the longstanding record of restraint and professionalism from the Berkeley Police Department and its chief. Others noted that bias is present in all aspects of society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t give up on our police,” said a speaker with the Zoom name Jovi Tseng, “because most of their biases are also our own.” Tseng said that, while “we can definitely have better police… they’re not fundamentally evil.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During public comment, speaker after speaker expressed their gratitude for Councilmember Davila. They said she represented the community’s views and called on her colleagues to support her more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many said they had been disgusted, earlier in the night, when no other council member supported a late item from Davila to censure the Berkeley Police Chief Andrew Greenwood for \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2020/07/14/davila-calls-for-council-vote-against-berkeley-police-chief-tuesday-night\">controversial comments he made \u003c/a>during a June council meeting in response to a question about use of force. As a result, the item could not be considered for Tuesday’s agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor explained to the public that Davila’s item had not met the narrow legal standard for late items, which requires the need for immediate action and that the issue “must have come to light only since the agenda was posted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila pledged to bring back her item calling for a no-confidence vote in the police chief through the regular council agenda process. She thanked the many community members who made their voices heard Tuesday night and into the early hours Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the latest we’ve ever had a council meeting and there’s still 141 people on the line,” Davila said toward the end of the meeting. “Put your fists up high and stand for Black Lives Matter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Emilie Raguso is Berkeleyside’s senior editor of news.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
