Another photo showed firefighters on the roof of the building, smoke billowing around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a moment it looked like a new social media extreme: firefighters pausing in the midst of a conflagration to update the world on their status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>E27, E29 making entry, Hunter Ct.\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search/%23oaklandfire\">#oaklandfire\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search/%23structurefire\">#structurefire\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"http://twitter.com/OaklandFireLive/status/311142412506525697/photo/1\" href=\"http://t.co/zXTomcdCGL\">twitter.com/OaklandFireLiv…\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Oakland Firefighters (@OaklandFireLive) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/OaklandFireLive/status/311142412506525697\">March 11, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Chief of Staff Cynthia Perkins assured me that Oakland firefighters are definitely not thumbing their iPhones while the city burns: “The Oakland Fire Department doesn’t have a Twitter account. And I can’t imagine that it was an actual line firefighter who was tweeting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking further, I found that it wasn’t. At least not exactly. But the incident illustrates the complex issues that are popping up as social media finds its way into the hands of emergency responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial tweet came from what firefighters call a “fire buff,” Chuck Garcia, president of the International Association of Firefighters, Local 55, told me. That’s a civilian who listens to radio scanners and then dashes out to the scene of the emergency to snap photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire buff apparently sent the photo to a firefighter sitting in a firehouse somewhere else in Oakland, who tweeted it out on the union’s account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We thought maybe we could get our message out to people who didn’t know what we do,” Garcia said. “We want them to know we’re working hard to protect them and their property, and we’re very good at what we do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what’s next? Will the California Highway Patrol tweet about whom it stops along the highway?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, yes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>The registration is paid.Sgt.

She also has tweeted about laws concerning car seats and about how to properly tie a kayak to your car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media can even help solve crimes. San Francisco police were able to recover a bicycle stolen from a child with special needs by posting a photo on the department’s Facebook page. Someone recognized it and called the police with the location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94191\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 225px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/14/draft-why-oakland-firefighters-are-tweeting-fire-photos/chevron-fire-7/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-94191\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94191 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/Chevron-fire1.jpg\" alt=\"Diane McDermott of the California Highway Patrol tweeted warnings about the Aug. 6, 2012 fire at a Chevron refinery in Richmond.\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diane McDermott of the California Highway Patrol tweeted warnings about the Aug. 6, 2012 fire at a Chevron refinery in Richmond. (Aarti Shahani/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We know that some people don’t get their news from TV or radio,” said Wilson Ng, who manages social media for the SFPD. “Social media is where they get their news.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a more dramatic example, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cresa911.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clark Regional Emergency Services\u003c/a> in Vancouver, Wash., mobilized citizens to find an elderly woman who had disappeared. More than 20,000 people shared information until finally someone discovered she had fainted behind a bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media are potentially valuable in a natural disaster, said Clark Emergency Manager Cheryl Bledsoe, who set up a \u003ca title=\"http://www.sm4em.org/\" href=\"http://www.sm4em.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website \u003c/a>on the topic of social media in her profession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only can emergency agencies get alerts out quickly, they can also collect information about how crises are unfolding. “We can highlight problems and focus on them,” she said. “For example, in a flood we can find out that people need sandbags in a particular area. It’s all about gauging sentiment. If the public is really concerned about something, then we know we need to get more information out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But use of social media comes with risks as well, Bledsoe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>It takes time to keep Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other accounts up to date, time that could be used for other crucial emergency services.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A photo could reveal the identity of someone being arrested or having a medical emergency, potentially violating their privacy. (In the ride-along, McDermott was careful not to tweet an image showing the drivers’ faces or license plates.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There are legal ramifications to any statement that government employees make.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>And there’s a risk of publicly disclosing sensitive information. That problem cropped up in 2011 during the Occupy demonstrations when protesters gleaned strategic information about the police officers trying to control them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were incidents where officers were Facebooking or tweeting about their plans,” said Officer Albie Esparza of the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers were just trying to communicate with their friends and family about work hours, SFPD Police Chief Greg Suhr told\u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/videos/news/san-francisco-police-department-to-set-social/vFkFy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> KTVU\u003c/a>. The department planned to create a social media policy, according to that report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But so far it only has general guidelines, Esparza said. “The wisest thing is not to post anything about the department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rank-and-file emergency responders may have their reasons to talk about their work online, however. For example, Garcia of the Oakland Fire Department said his union has successfully used a blog to get out its message about negotiations on its retirement plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he, too, has experienced a downside to social media: a \u003ca href=\"http://firechiefgeraldasimon.com/Declaration_of_Disgrace.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog\u003c/a> with crude criticisms of him and other Oakland firefighters is the first hit that pops up if you Google him. Garcia and others have tried without success to get the site taken down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the only thing I don’t like,” he said. “It helps you, but it definitely can hurt you.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Another photo showed firefighters on the roof of the building, smoke billowing around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a moment it looked like a new social media extreme: firefighters pausing in the midst of a conflagration to update the world on their status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>E27, E29 making entry, Hunter Ct.\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search/%23oaklandfire\">#oaklandfire\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search/%23structurefire\">#structurefire\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"http://twitter.com/OaklandFireLive/status/311142412506525697/photo/1\" href=\"http://t.co/zXTomcdCGL\">twitter.com/OaklandFireLiv…\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Oakland Firefighters (@OaklandFireLive) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/OaklandFireLive/status/311142412506525697\">March 11, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Chief of Staff Cynthia Perkins assured me that Oakland firefighters are definitely not thumbing their iPhones while the city burns: “The Oakland Fire Department doesn’t have a Twitter account.

She also has tweeted about laws concerning car seats and about how to properly tie a kayak to your car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media can even help solve crimes. San Francisco police were able to recover a bicycle stolen from a child with special needs by posting a photo on the department’s Facebook page.

More than 20,000 people shared information until finally someone discovered she had fainted behind a bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media are potentially valuable in a natural disaster, said Clark Emergency Manager Cheryl Bledsoe, who set up a \u003ca title=\"http://www.sm4em.org/\" href=\"http://www.sm4em.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website \u003c/a>on the topic of social media in her profession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only can emergency agencies get alerts out quickly, they can also collect information about how crises are unfolding. “We can highlight problems and focus on them,” she said. “For example, in a flood we can find out that people need sandbags in a particular area. It’s all about gauging sentiment. If the public is really concerned about something, then we know we need to get more information out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But use of social media comes with risks as well, Bledsoe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>It takes time to keep Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other accounts up to date, time that could be used for other crucial emergency services.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A photo could reveal the identity of someone being arrested or having a medical emergency, potentially violating their privacy. (In the ride-along, McDermott was careful not to tweet an image showing the drivers’ faces or license plates.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There are legal ramifications to any statement that government employees make.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>And there’s a risk of publicly disclosing sensitive information. That problem cropped up in 2011 during the Occupy demonstrations when protesters gleaned strategic information about the police officers trying to control them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were incidents where officers were Facebooking or tweeting about their plans,” said Officer Albie Esparza of the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers were just trying to communicate with their friends and family about work hours, SFPD Police Chief Greg Suhr told\u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/videos/news/san-francisco-police-department-to-set-social/vFkFy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> KTVU\u003c/a>. The department planned to create a social media policy, according to that report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But so far it only has general guidelines, Esparza said. “The wisest thing is not to post anything about the department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rank-and-file emergency responders may have their reasons to talk about their work online, however. For example, Garcia of the Oakland Fire Department said his union has successfully used a blog to get out its message about negotiations on its retirement plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he, too, has experienced a downside to social media: a \u003ca href=\"http://firechiefgeraldasimon.com/Declaration_of_Disgrace.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog\u003c/a> with crude criticisms of him and other Oakland firefighters is the first hit that pops up if you Google him. Garcia and others have tried without success to get the site taken down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Glen Upshaw started Men of Influence in January, just weeks after a 15-year-old neighbor, Jubrille Jordan, was shot in the back of the head while walking near the Coliseum BART station. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was the 25th Oakland teenager killed in 2012.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n“A lot of the homicides last year were innocent people,” Upshaw said. “A lot of people who had nothing to do with the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_93139\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/03/men-of-influence-brings-parenting-to-oaklands-streets/baseball0402/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-93139\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/baseball0402.jpg\" alt=\"The Men of Influence held a baseball game to help spread word about their group.

He even did a little time as a young man for robbing a grocery store and later, as an adult, for domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now he works as a counselor for California Youth Outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I live it, I see it, so I’m trying to make it better for everybody else,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One afternoon, Arnoldo Garay happened to be at the rec center playing basketball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was bouncing the ball when one of the elder men told him join the circle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arnoldo ended up sitting with the men for hours. He opened up to the group, telling them about dealing drugs and spending time in a psychiatric hospital. One of the men gave Arnoldo his cell phone number and told him to call if he ever needed anything, day or night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s actually pretty cool because it’s people trying to help give back to the community,” Arnoldo said. “And some of us really just need the help, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lamar Allen is one of the Men of Influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to become the elders, we have to adopt these kids in a sense,” said the 44-year-old Allen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An elder can be 29 or 60, Allen said. The important thing is for Men of Influence to recruit teenagers in order to work toward actually stopping the shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just wanna show the kids that’s out here now, feeling hopeless, that we care,” Allen said. “And put the gun down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what 29-year-old Greg Johnson is trying to do with Damarea, who is about to become a father himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damarea said he is determined to do a better job than his father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want my child to feel toward me how I feel toward my father,” he said. “Like feel neglected, feel like he could have been there. The same old story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson gives Damarea rides to basketball games and shares parenting advice. In return, on a recent Saturday, Damarea helped Johnson and other members of Men of Influence pick up trash in the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you don’t lead ‘em, somebody else is lead[ing] ‘em,” Johnson said. “You don’t ever want the wrong person to lead ‘em, so that’s part of stepping up. You see him out here helping, he being a productive community member, so that’s all you could ask.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Filling a Vacuum\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But raising a son in East Oakland can be incredibly hard, as group founder Glen Upshaw knows. Nearly 10 years ago, two of his sons were having problems with another group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw stepped in to help resolve it, and he believed he had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought it was squashed,” he said. “But somehow they started shooting at my sons, and I don’t know where my sons got some guns from … but they started shooting back, and an innocent bystander got shot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That innocent bystander turned out to be the child of an old friend. Upshaw’s sons went to prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw said maybe if the Men of Influence had been around back then, that killing could have been prevented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F86136874\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oakland Crime and Prevention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/02/stopping-violence-before-it-begins-in-oakland/\">In Oakland, Trying to Stop Violence Before It Starts\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/25/among-oaklands-dead-whats-a-typical-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Among Oakland’s Dead, What’s a Typical Case?\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/24/oakland-residents-plead-pay-attention-to-killings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Oakland Residents Plead: Pay Attention to Killings\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Oakland’s Gun Problem: 11 Firearm Crimes a Day\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/12/oaklands-other-homicide-crisis-unsolved-cases/\">Oakland’s Other Crime Problem: Unsolved Homicides\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

He’s just happy to have him back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a good feeling…to know at least I got one,” Arnoldo said of his dad. “A lot of these kids don’t even get to meet theirs their whole life….He’s awesome to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now instead of selling weed, Arnoldo and his dad collect recycling every Saturday and Sunday from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a good feeling. It’s really a good feeling,” Arnoldo said of his nighttime outings with his dad. “I’m just dreaming, looking at the skyscrapers, nice lights on the bridges while everybody’s asleep. You know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arnoldo lives with an aunt and her young son in East Oakland. Many of his neighbors are also growing up without fathers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ask anybody up and down this block.

Glen Upshaw started Men of Influence in January, just weeks after a 15-year-old neighbor, Jubrille Jordan, was shot in the back of the head while walking near the Coliseum BART station. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was the 25th Oakland teenager killed in 2012.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n“A lot of the homicides last year were innocent people,” Upshaw said. “A lot of people who had nothing to do with the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_93139\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/03/men-of-influence-brings-parenting-to-oaklands-streets/baseball0402/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-93139\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/baseball0402.jpg\" alt=\"The Men of Influence held a baseball game to help spread word about their group.

He even did a little time as a young man for robbing a grocery store and later, as an adult, for domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now he works as a counselor for California Youth Outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I live it, I see it, so I’m trying to make it better for everybody else,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One afternoon, Arnoldo Garay happened to be at the rec center playing basketball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was bouncing the ball when one of the elder men told him join the circle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arnoldo ended up sitting with the men for hours. He opened up to the group, telling them about dealing drugs and spending time in a psychiatric hospital. One of the men gave Arnoldo his cell phone number and told him to call if he ever needed anything, day or night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s actually pretty cool because it’s people trying to help give back to the community,” Arnoldo said. “And some of us really just need the help, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lamar Allen is one of the Men of Influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to become the elders, we have to adopt these kids in a sense,” said the 44-year-old Allen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An elder can be 29 or 60, Allen said. The important thing is for Men of Influence to recruit teenagers in order to work toward actually stopping the shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just wanna show the kids that’s out here now, feeling hopeless, that we care,” Allen said. “And put the gun down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what 29-year-old Greg Johnson is trying to do with Damarea, who is about to become a father himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damarea said he is determined to do a better job than his father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want my child to feel toward me how I feel toward my father,” he said. “Like feel neglected, feel like he could have been there. The same old story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson gives Damarea rides to basketball games and shares parenting advice. In return, on a recent Saturday, Damarea helped Johnson and other members of Men of Influence pick up trash in the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you don’t lead ‘em, somebody else is lead[ing] ‘em,” Johnson said. “You don’t ever want the wrong person to lead ‘em, so that’s part of stepping up. You see him out here helping, he being a productive community member, so that’s all you could ask.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Filling a Vacuum\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But raising a son in East Oakland can be incredibly hard, as group founder Glen Upshaw knows. Nearly 10 years ago, two of his sons were having problems with another group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw stepped in to help resolve it, and he believed he had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought it was squashed,” he said. “But somehow they started shooting at my sons, and I don’t know where my sons got some guns from … but they started shooting back, and an innocent bystander got shot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That innocent bystander turned out to be the child of an old friend. Upshaw’s sons went to prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw said maybe if the Men of Influence had been around back then, that killing could have been prevented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F86136874\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oakland Crime and Prevention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/02/stopping-violence-before-it-begins-in-oakland/\">In Oakland, Trying to Stop Violence Before It Starts\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/25/among-oaklands-dead-whats-a-typical-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Among Oakland’s Dead, What’s a Typical Case?\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/24/oakland-residents-plead-pay-attention-to-killings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Oakland Residents Plead: Pay Attention to Killings\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Oakland’s Gun Problem: 11 Firearm Crimes a Day\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/12/oaklands-other-homicide-crisis-unsolved-cases/\">Oakland’s Other Crime Problem: Unsolved Homicides\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Most importantly: Men who do not snitch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a code of honor out here,” Upshaw said. “It’s a big thing for a person to get in trouble and go do their time, and do it like a man, without telling. … That means a lot to the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw is trying to recruit people every five or 10 blocks throughout the toughest parts of Oakland. That way, when the Men of Influence hotline gets a call about a dispute, Upshaw already has someone lined up who knows the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said she believes this could work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there’s a murder on 96th, and you want to stop the violence on 96th, where do you go? You go to 96th, you go to where the problem is,” she said. “You don’t walk around the problem. You have to go right in there — if you walk into danger, you walk into danger. If you wanna stop the violence, then you have to allow yourself to walk into danger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Upshaw’s core group has grown to 18 men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the Men of Influence has moved on to phase two: going deeper into neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘OK to Approach?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early one morning, eight men fanned out across Oakland’s Seminary neighborhood. They picked up trash and handed out flyers. This small act of community service is their way of cautiously introducing themselves to people and recruiting new members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How you doing? Is it OK to approach?” Upshaw asked a man sitting on his front porch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw walked up to him. They chatted for a bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, if you see any violence or anything of that sort, you can call our hotline, and we’ll get right on it and try and resolve anything,” Upshaw told the man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s nice,” the man said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw plans to introduce his group to a new neighborhood every month.

The group seeks to connect with Oakland youth and prevent violence before it can start, both by mediating disputes and serving as role models to the often fatherless kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He jumped into action when Harris called.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We got on the phone. We started making contacts with people who did know this person,” Upshaw said. “They got into contact with the person who was going to be the shooter, and we were able to resolve that incident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In East Oakland, as in many rough city neighborhoods across the country, gun-related crimes happen daily. Citywide, police recorded an average of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11 gun incidents a day\u003c/a> last year, from armed robberies to killings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easy to add up the crimes, but it is much harder to get them to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Men of Influence believes it takes those who know the streets to make them safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw banks on his reputation in East Oakland when he works to diffuse a potentially violent situation.

Most importantly: Men who do not snitch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a code of honor out here,” Upshaw said. “It’s a big thing for a person to get in trouble and go do their time, and do it like a man, without telling. … That means a lot to the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw is trying to recruit people every five or 10 blocks throughout the toughest parts of Oakland. That way, when the Men of Influence hotline gets a call about a dispute, Upshaw already has someone lined up who knows the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said she believes this could work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there’s a murder on 96th, and you want to stop the violence on 96th, where do you go? You go to 96th, you go to where the problem is,” she said. “You don’t walk around the problem. You have to go right in there — if you walk into danger, you walk into danger. If you wanna stop the violence, then you have to allow yourself to walk into danger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Upshaw’s core group has grown to 18 men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the Men of Influence has moved on to phase two: going deeper into neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘OK to Approach?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early one morning, eight men fanned out across Oakland’s Seminary neighborhood. They picked up trash and handed out flyers. This small act of community service is their way of cautiously introducing themselves to people and recruiting new members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How you doing? Is it OK to approach?” Upshaw asked a man sitting on his front porch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw walked up to him. They chatted for a bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, if you see any violence or anything of that sort, you can call our hotline, and we’ll get right on it and try and resolve anything,” Upshaw told the man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s nice,” the man said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw plans to introduce his group to a new neighborhood every month. But first, he said, the men need permission. Otherwise, neighbors might take offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people might take it … disrespectful, and they might want to shoot at you,” he said. “It’s no telling.

This is not a whodunit case–that’s the tragic element of this,” says Tim Murphy, the public defender representing Dobbz.

The community has to trust the police; they have to feel like they and the police are on the same side.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krisberg also says Oakland’s low homicide clearance rate erodes confidence the police can do their jobs.”People expect that when serious crimes occur, that the police are gonna find the bad guys, and take ’em in custody,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jakada Imani says that when that doesn’t happen, residents fear the consequences if they come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the legal system is uncertain, but I believe that street justice is certain, then we have a problem,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>* * *\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Statistical note:\u003c/strong> The Oakland Police Department reported five justified homicides in 2012, a determination made jointly by police and the Alameda County district attorney’s office.
