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.",

Some critics have derided that disinvestment \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/uhshanti/status/1383870914073305088\">as not really cutting into police work itself\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://defundsfpdnow.com/\">The Defund SFPD Now group\u003c/a> said it would “be tempting to consider this verdict a win,” but “the only way to reduce police violence is to reduce the number of interactions between police and our communities” by defunding, disarming and disbanding police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11869627 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-22-1020x680.jpg']At Lake Merritt, Wednesday, Oaklanders speaking to KQED said everything from Floyd’s death, to the trial, and the verdict, were sad all around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a little bit of a paradox for me.

The deep structural racism that pervades our country — and leads to the state-sponsored murder of Black men like George Floyd and too many others — must end. Juries shouldn’t have to tell us this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom noted, in a statement, “The hard truth is that, if George Floyd looked like me, he’d still be alive today.

The trial has been one of the most closely watched cases in recent memory, setting off a national reckoning on police violence and systemic racism even before the trial commenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chauvin, 45, has been found guilty of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With only his eyes visible as the rest of his face was hidden behind a surgical mask, Chauvin watched as the verdict was returned. Judge Peter Cahill thanked the jury for their “heavy-duty jury service.” Chauvin was remanded into custody as the jury was dismissed, and Cahill said sentencing is expected in eight weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State sentencing \u003ca href=\"https://mn.gov/msgc-stat/documents/Guidelines/2020/2020StandardSentencingGuidelinesGrid.pdf\">guidelines\u003c/a> recommend 12.5 years in prison for a conviction on unintentional second-degree murder for someone with no criminal history. But prosecutors could seek a sentence up to the maximum of 40 years on that count if Cahill determines there were aggravating factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A deputy handcuffed Chauvin and escorted him to a side room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Philonise Floyd, brother of George Floyd\"]‘I was just praying they would find him guilty.

Ellison and Blackwell shook hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Philonise Floyd had been seen praying in the courtroom. Asked by a pool reporter afterward what he had been praying for, he answered: “I was just praying they would find him guilty. As an African American, we usually never get justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was no noticeable reaction from the jury, according to a pool reporter. The jurors each remained still and quiet, staring at the judge until they were called upon to announce their judgment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury had been deliberating for about 10 hours over two days, following closing arguments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd’s death on Memorial Day 2020 sparked protests in Minneapolis, across the United States and around the world. It prompted calls for police reform and soul-searching on issues of systemic racial injustice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd was a 46-year-old Black man from Houston who had moved to Minnesota just three years earlier.

Judge Peter Cahill thanked the jury for their “heavy-duty jury service.” Chauvin was remanded into custody as the jury was dismissed, and Cahill said sentencing is expected in eight weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State sentencing \u003ca href=\"https://mn.gov/msgc-stat/documents/Guidelines/2020/2020StandardSentencingGuidelinesGrid.pdf\">guidelines\u003c/a> recommend 12.5 years in prison for a conviction on unintentional second-degree murder for someone with no criminal history.

The officer involved, a 26-year veteran of the department, claims she mistook her handgun for a Taser, firing it at Wright after he resisted arrest for an outstanding warrant.

A visceral video of his death in late May shows Floyd — who was arrested on suspicion of using a counterfeit $20 bill — handcuffed and pinned to the ground as Chauvin kneels on his neck for more than nine minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident and its aftermath launched what some consider a racial reckoning in the U.S., galvanizing scores of companies and institutions to reexamine their positions on racial equity and justice, and prompting multiple state legislatures — including in California — to adopt modest policing reforms. It also spurred activists in cities across the country to demand major local policing reforms — including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823958/defund-the-police-what-it-means-and-how-bay-area-cities-are-responding\">a push to defund\u003c/a> or flat-out abolish police departments, and reallocate much of those budgets to social service and educational agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Multiple cities across the Bay Area, including San Francisco and Oakland, have since proposed or adopted plans to cut their police budgets by large chunks and reinvest those funds in community service agencies that advocates say are far better equipped to handle many of the non-violent incidents that often escalate when police are called in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11869761\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1209px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11869761\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1209\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25.jpg 1209w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1209px) 100vw, 1209px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexis Rodriguez, a sophomore at Summit Shasta High School in Daly City, holds a sign that says ‘A badge is not a license to kill’ during a vigil and rally outside of Mission High School in San Francisco on April 15, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In September, San Francisco supervisors \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11862094/sf-mayor-breed-unveils-plan-for-reinvesting-120-million-from-police-into-black-communities\">approved Mayor London Breed’s proposal\u003c/a>, as part of this year’s budget, to strip $120 million from the city’s law enforcement agencies over two years and redirect those funds to support the city’s largely underserved Black community.
