I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Virginia\u003c/a> — the landmark 1967 Supreme Court case that declared laws against interracial marriage unconstitutional in the United States. With this in mind, we spoke with a few Bay Area families and experts on the importance of talking about race in multiracial families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro identifies as Filipino American and works in the education field. She lives in Walnut Creek with her husband, who is Afro-Brazilian, and their two daughters, ages 7 and 3-years-old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is the right way to educate a 7-year-old who's, like, half farts, half losing her teeth? And also 10% attention span?” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At home, they are doing history lessons she calls “American heroes are Black women.” Baltazar-Pinheiro calls to her daughter to see if she remembers who they talked about the last few days — Rosa Parks, Ida B. Wells and Shirley Chisholm. Her daughter recounts the names, with a few small hints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro, mother to two daughters, ages 3 and 7-years-old\"]'If you think your whiteness will protect your mixed kids from this country as it currently stands, you’re misguided.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baltazar-Pinheiro recommends others in mixed race families educate themselves, especially since there are so many ways to do it now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you think your whiteness will protect your mixed kids from this country as it currently stands, you’re misguided,” she said. “We have words and we have language to talk about … race and class and gender — and gender fluidity and how we all want to live in this world. I just want to teach her the words that she needs so that she can always express herself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Baltazar-Pinheiro, it’s also important for families to talk to extended family. “Talk to your brother who doesn't really like your husband, but has decided that he's a pretty good guy,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a 16-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, Melanie Carvalho is balancing how to talk in an age-appropriate way with both of her children. Carvalho is white, and is a former educator who taught for 20 years in the Bay Area. She now lives in Orange County with her husband who is originally from Cape Verde, West Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carvalho said her older son is not really interested in talking, but she still tries to prompt him with questions. With her daughter, she's focusing on honoring her skin, hair and body for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven't taken it to that next level that some people are treated unfairly — it's scary because you talk about the psychological impact of them internalizing that. And I guess I want to build up her self-confidence first,” Carvalho said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her son, one of his first experiences facing race came in nursery school when a white student said, “You can’t play with me because you’re black.” Her son’s response at the time was to put black marker on his leg to show that clearly he was not that color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carvalho said she fears for her son on a more external level. “Part of that is that he is pretty solid on who he is,” but she said the world may see him as something else. For her daughter, Carvalho views her identity as being more about her self concept. “I worry that she will fall into these habits of wanting lighter skin, straighter hair. ... So I guess that's why I focus on helping her loving her hair, her skin, loving herself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11824163\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11824163\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro, Fabiano Pinheiro, Eva Lourdes, 7, and Stella Marèsol, 3, at their home in Walnut Creek on June 11, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>What the Experts Say: 'It's Not a One-Time Conversation'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In order to get deeper into these complex questions and offer practical advice, KQED consulted a few experts.

The reality is, kids know and think about race very early in infancy. They start by three, four, five. They're noticing it. Thinking about it. And so parents can't shy away from those conversations. Parents can feel uncomfortable, particularly if parents are in a different racial group than the kid is.” — Christia Spears Brown, developmental psychologist\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Talk With Your Partner\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Partners need to talk among themselves about race and racism and what their experiences have been, and what they want their relationship to be, what they want their family to be. It's sort of about some racial socialization, if you will, between partners themselves before they even start to talk about, what it is to talk about these things in a family context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Also making sure that the family dynamic includes openness and honesty. Also including expectations for extended family, in terms of addressing issues of race and racism.\" — Kelley Kenney, counselor\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Talk About Your Child’s Identity Positively\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Talking about the positive parts of culture, kind of thinking about all the great ways your culture has contributed to society, kind of cultural pride. … We know a positive view of ethnic identity is really protective in the face of discrimination. That helps buffer all sorts of negative aspects of society. You really have to be very proud of your culture and your ethnicity.” — Christia Spears Brown, developmental psychologist\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Discuss Stereotypes and Difference\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“How can you as parents help protect kids from those experiences? And the answer is, it's somewhat counterintuitive. It's not shielding them from that part of their ethnicity. It's really leaning in to that part of their ethnicity because leaning into it is what's protective.” — Christia Spears Brown, developmental psychologist\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11824167\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11824167\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro and her daughter paint in their garage on June 11, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Take a Proactive Stance — Don’t Assume Your Child Is Immune\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“First of all, it begins with the parents having a conversation, again, with themselves about how they want to raise their children. With respect to discussions of race and racism, et cetera. And then talking about their socialization practices, that should include how they instill a sense of cultural and racial pride, how they prepare children to deal with racial bias, how they talk about issues of white privilege in the home.

Virginia\u003c/a> — the landmark 1967 Supreme Court case that declared laws against interracial marriage unconstitutional in the United States. With this in mind, we spoke with a few Bay Area families and experts on the importance of talking about race in multiracial families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro identifies as Filipino American and works in the education field. She lives in Walnut Creek with her husband, who is Afro-Brazilian, and their two daughters, ages 7 and 3-years-old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is the right way to educate a 7-year-old who's, like, half farts, half losing her teeth? And also 10% attention span?” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At home, they are doing history lessons she calls “American heroes are Black women.” Baltazar-Pinheiro calls to her daughter to see if she remembers who they talked about the last few days — Rosa Parks, Ida B. Wells and Shirley Chisholm. Her daughter recounts the names, with a few small hints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I just want to teach her the words that she needs so that she can always express herself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Baltazar-Pinheiro, it’s also important for families to talk to extended family. “Talk to your brother who doesn't really like your husband, but has decided that he's a pretty good guy,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a 16-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, Melanie Carvalho is balancing how to talk in an age-appropriate way with both of her children. Carvalho is white, and is a former educator who taught for 20 years in the Bay Area.

With her daughter, she's focusing on honoring her skin, hair and body for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven't taken it to that next level that some people are treated unfairly — it's scary because you talk about the psychological impact of them internalizing that. And I guess I want to build up her self-confidence first,” Carvalho said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her son, one of his first experiences facing race came in nursery school when a white student said, “You can’t play with me because you’re black.” Her son’s response at the time was to put black marker on his leg to show that clearly he was not that color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carvalho said she fears for her son on a more external level. “Part of that is that he is pretty solid on who he is,” but she said the world may see him as something else. For her daughter, Carvalho views her identity as being more about her self concept. “I worry that she will fall into these habits of wanting lighter skin, straighter hair. ... So I guess that's why I focus on helping her loving her hair, her skin, loving herself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11824163\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11824163\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro, Fabiano Pinheiro, Eva Lourdes, 7, and Stella Marèsol, 3, at their home in Walnut Creek on June 11, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>What the Experts Say: 'It's Not a One-Time Conversation'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In order to get deeper into these complex questions and offer practical advice, KQED consulted a few experts.

The reality is, kids know and think about race very early in infancy. They start by three, four, five. They're noticing it. Thinking about it. And so parents can't shy away from those conversations.

That helps buffer all sorts of negative aspects of society. You really have to be very proud of your culture and your ethnicity.” — Christia Spears Brown, developmental psychologist\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Discuss Stereotypes and Difference\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“How can you as parents help protect kids from those experiences? And the answer is, it's somewhat counterintuitive. It's not shielding them from that part of their ethnicity.

"content": "\u003cp>Beyond face masks and physical distancing, a new detailed guide to safely reopen California schools suggests a radical overhaul of classroom instruction to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new guidelines in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/hn/documents/strongertogether.pdf\">55-page how-to manual\u003c/a> released Monday by California's Department of Education make clear that everything about school will be different, from start to finish, when the fall term starts. California's 6.2 million students can expect temperature checks upon entering schools and buses, extensive hand washing throughout the day, physical distancing requirements — in classes, in hallways, at recess, on school buses — and face coverings for students and staff at all times except when eating and drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on everything we know about providing education,\" said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. \"It forces us to enter into a new conversation about the way we provide instruction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, school districts will decide when and how to reopen campuses. Thurmond stressed that the guidelines are not mandatory and can't offer a one-size-fits-all model for the state's 1,000 school districts. But they aim to provide multiple scenarios to help schools find the best approach for safely reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The manual titled, \"Stronger Together: A Guidebook for the Safe Reopening of California's Public Schools,\" can serve as a road map for school districts as they prepare for the return of classes, Thurmond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many parents have expressed interest in continuing distance learning for safety reasons, and Thurmond said he is encouraging districts to maintain at-home instruction to the extent they can to ensure smaller class sizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Parents are asking for it, let's use that as a strategy, let's plan for it,\" Thurmond said about continued online learning in the fall, which will be needed as schools accommodate a smaller number of students at a time. The department also recommends schools be prepared to shutter again and go online because of a virus outbreak, power shut-offs to prevent wildfires, or other natural disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's high anxiety at so many levels on this ... We just have to be kind to each other,\" said Mary Jane Burke, Marin County superintendent of schools. \"But also be clear that it's not ‘Are we going to open schools?’ It's ‘What are the conditions that need to be in place?’ because we have got to get kids back into classrooms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>School Won't Look the Same\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The guidelines include new models for classroom instruction, such as rotating students into classes just two days a week with the remainder of days at home doing distance learning or sending half the class to school for \"in-person learning\" several days a week while the rest of the class stays home for distance learning. The students would alternate each week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools might also opt to stagger schedules, with AM-PM rotations of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\"]Everything from lining up when the bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought – as will the types of toys students can play with.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guidelines suggest temperature checks and hand sanitizing for students and teachers before they enter school campuses and buses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New rules and seating plans will be applied on school buses to keep students 6 feet apart. One option could be to seat one student per bench and skip every other row, the guidelines say. Choosing seats would not be allowed, students should be seated from the rear of the bus forward to prevent walking past each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation of students with special learning needs is one of the hurdles districts are having to tackle without specific information from the state on how many students should be on a standard bus, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solving some of these problems is going to take creativity, said Alameda County Schools Superintendent Karen Monroe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because if you're looking at something like special ed, keeping on masks and six feet apart is not always going to be possible for students who need hands-on support,\" Monroe said. \"Every district is going to consider their staffing and their ability to staff and fund any model that they have. So it has to start with your resources to actually do this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's new guidelines also rule out a number of social activities, such as field trips and school assemblies, and place a variety of restrictions on the act of sharing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Avoid sharing electronic devices, toys, books and other games,\" the guidelines say as part of recommendations for schools to meet \"high standards of cleanliness.\" Schools are asked to disinfect high-touch surfaces at least daily, such as doorknobs, handrails, drinking fountains, playground equipment, sink handles and bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Department of Public Health on Friday released its own 14-page guidance designed to help districts prepare, with many of the same recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state said it plans to supply every school and child care center with the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>No-touch thermometers\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hand sanitizer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Face shields for every teacher\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cloth face coverings for staff and students\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tight-fitting N-95 masks for health care professionals in schools\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Logistical, Financial Challenges for Districts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Educators say the new safety measures pose massive logistical and financial challenges, particularly at a time of shrinking budgets. Districts are facing the prospect of billions of dollars in budget cuts as the state scrambles to plug a deficit brought on by the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Education Coalition, which includes the nine statewide K-12 public education associations, has urged Newsom and state legislators to reject the cuts. Teachers, superintendents, principals and others say they support the need to implement physical distancing at schools, which would require decreased class sizes and dramatically increased cleaning. But all of that will cost more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='education']Schools have been closed since mid-March, when Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide stay-at-home order, and developed distance-learning plans on the fly. The idea of classes resuming is a relief for both teachers and parents, but raises a host of new questions. Working parents will find it challenging to cope with extended distance learning plans. Teachers say they are wondering how they will keep students 6 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the million-dollar question,\" said Heather Peterson, a kindergarten teacher in Long Beach. Everything from lining up when the school bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought. As will the types of toys students can play with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've got Legos, and Tinker Toys and we do fun Friday free time, where the kids get to play with a partner. I don't know how that's going to look. Because everything a kid touches will have to be cleaned,\" said Peterson, who wonders how she will monitor what each child touches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterson has always tried to instill independence in her students — letting them go to the bathroom without asking, getting up for a pencil if they need it — but she assumes that will need to be curtailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They'll need to be at their designated spot for the day,\" she said, and ask permission to leave their seat to avoid getting too close to others. On the bright side, by the time students return to school, the concept of staying apart won't be new, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not ideal. I think it will be tricky to monitor at school. But when they return in September, at least they'll have a lot of experience with social distancing,\" Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED's Julia McEvoy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The department also recommends schools be prepared to shutter again and go online because of a virus outbreak, power shut-offs to prevent wildfires, or other natural disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's high anxiety at so many levels on this ... We just have to be kind to each other,\" said Mary Jane Burke, Marin County superintendent of schools. \"But also be clear that it's not ‘Are we going to open schools?’ It's ‘What are the conditions that need to be in place?’ because we have got to get kids back into classrooms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>School Won't Look the Same\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The guidelines include new models for classroom instruction, such as rotating students into classes just two days a week with the remainder of days at home doing distance learning or sending half the class to school for \"in-person learning\" several days a week while the rest of the class stays home for distance learning.

Choosing seats would not be allowed, students should be seated from the rear of the bus forward to prevent walking past each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation of students with special learning needs is one of the hurdles districts are having to tackle without specific information from the state on how many students should be on a standard bus, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solving some of these problems is going to take creativity, said Alameda County Schools Superintendent Karen Monroe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because if you're looking at something like special ed, keeping on masks and six feet apart is not always going to be possible for students who need hands-on support,\" Monroe said. \"Every district is going to consider their staffing and their ability to staff and fund any model that they have.

Gavin Newsom issued a statewide stay-at-home order, and developed distance-learning plans on the fly. The idea of classes resuming is a relief for both teachers and parents, but raises a host of new questions. Working parents will find it challenging to cope with extended distance learning plans. Teachers say they are wondering how they will keep students 6 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the million-dollar question,\" said Heather Peterson, a kindergarten teacher in Long Beach. Everything from lining up when the school bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought. As will the types of toys students can play with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've got Legos, and Tinker Toys and we do fun Friday free time, where the kids get to play with a partner. I don't know how that's going to look. Because everything a kid touches will have to be cleaned,\" said Peterson, who wonders how she will monitor what each child touches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterson has always tried to instill independence in her students — letting them go to the bathroom without asking, getting up for a pencil if they need it — but she assumes that will need to be curtailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They'll need to be at their designated spot for the day,\" she said, and ask permission to leave their seat to avoid getting too close to others. On the bright side, by the time students return to school, the concept of staying apart won't be new, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not ideal. I think it will be tricky to monitor at school. But when they return in September, at least they'll have a lot of experience with social distancing,\" Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED's Julia McEvoy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lederman reported that two people, one of them a photographer, were struck with rubber bullets during the protest Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve also seen quite a bit of use of the impact munitions, like the large rubber bullets and other munitions that are fired from a gun or launcher,” Lederman said. “Those aren’t supposed to be fired into the crowds either because of the serious risk of hitting an innocent person. And they’re supposed to only be aimed at safe or target areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s crowd-control policy requires the department to use minimal physical force when controlling an assembly — whether lawful or unlawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Occupy protests in 2014, Oakland police shot a non-lethal projectile that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/130079/iraq-vet-scott-olsen-settles-occupy-suit-against-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">struck an Iraq war veteran\u003c/a> in the head, causing permanent brain damage.

Oakland has been reviewing and re-examining all of its use-of-force policies under the leadership of our Citizen Police Commission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Wednesday, three Oakland City Council members \u003ca href=\"https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:a304ee9c-af11-443c-964f-2c7cee95cb2d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">urged Schaaf\u003c/a> and law enforcement to halt the use of tear gas on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Council President Rebecca Kaplan said she’s received complaints that tear gas has crept into residential homes, hurting elderly residents and people uninvolved in the demonstrations. She also criticized the department for pushing protesters into small business districts like Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the purpose of the police is not to serve and protect the communities then what is their purpose?” Kaplan said. “If they are making things worse for small businesses like those in Chinatown, then what is their goal?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Rebecca Kaplan, Oakland City Council president\"]“Tear gas cannot be aimed.

The on-ramp was blocked for about an hour before police pushed protesters back, and traffic resumed. The remaining crowd then dispersed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the evening, the demonstration led to the closure of another freeway on-ramp. While marchers tried to access Interstate-80 East on South Van Ness Avenue around 7:30 p.m., San Francisco police officers blocked the freeway entrance. Crowds also blocked 17th and Valencia streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/katewolffe/status/1266920988186251267\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday night, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11821834/bay-area-protests-over-death-of-george-floyd\">thousands marched in San Jose and Oakland in demonstrations in the name of police reform\u003c/a>.

Plaza. “Hear us when we’re screaming for somebody to get off of our neck. They hear us when we’re pleading for a deceased mother during our last breaths, and they still won’t make the changes that we need to see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While demonstrators at first gathered in a socially distant manner, social media showed crowds bunching up as they marched. The densely packed protesters in Oakland sparked warnings from Schaaf that they were endangering their lives amid the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday, Schaaf warned, “stay home, there are other ways to express your anger and your activism right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to KQED, one San Francisco demonstrator, Kai Galt, says marching during the pandemic for human rights is “just as essential as going to the grocery store.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/e_baldi/status/1266613653286957056\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has seen its share of police killings of unarmed people, including the shooting death of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/11518065/alex-nieto-police-shooting-spurs-young-actors-to-reclaim-their-neighborhood-identity\">Alejandro Nieto, who was armed only with a Taser, on Bernal Heights Hill in 2014\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD’s Mission Station, where San Francisco protesters marched to Saturday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/11562249/artist-led-hunger-strike-in-sf-comes-to-an-end-but-spirit-of-protest-continues\">was also the site of the Frisco Five hunger strike\u003c/a> in 2016 that pressured the city to fire former SFPD Police Chief Greg Suhr, who eventually resigned, following high-profile SFPD officer-involved shootings some decried as unjust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is a breaking story and will be continuously updated throughout Saturday. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
