He had just returned to San Francisco after traveling to a memorial for five Dallas police officers killed in the line of duty when a gunman took aim at officers at a peaceful July 7 protest over the recent, video-recorded deadly police shootings of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/07/06/justice-department-to-investigate-fatal-police-shooting-in-baton-rouge/\" target=\"_blank\">Alton Sterling\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/07/07/philando-castile-minnesota-police-shooting-facebook-live/\" target=\"_blank\">Philando Castile\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams said he's glad his union is calling attention to public safety officers killed in the line of duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It stings, and this is just me, the fact that we're honoring someone who committed a crime,\" he said, \"where we've had officers killed in the line of duty within the past 15 years, and there's no day of remembrance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to Amir, who has dedicated his career to teaching San Francisco jail inmates, the fact that people may have committed crimes shouldn't dehumanize them.

He had just obtained his high school diploma. He was going to be graduating in January. Why can't he be referred to as that? It's easier to demonize, belittle, degenerate someone, especially someone that you're willing to pull a trigger on, than to refer to someone in a way that's humane.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humanity is a common theme for Amir, and it's why he thinks Mario Woods Remembrance Day is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I see the statement that was made by the Board of Supervisors as a way to try to affirm his humanity, but it's after the fact,\" Amir said. \"We're doing that after this man has already been put in the dirt. But hopefully it's a sign that in San Francisco, in the Bay Area, in California, we're pushing for that. We're trying to see the humanity in people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that was lost in the hail of bullets that killed Woods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Don't treat people like beasts, or worse than that,\" he said. \"That's overkill. That's way too much. That's uncalled for. That's not seeing the humanity and dealing with the situation in the way it should have been dealt with. Mario should be here today. He's not.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both days of remembrance are seen by some from opposing perspectives as an insult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retired SFPD officer and former POA president Gary Delagnes called the board's resolution that created the day \"a slap in the face\" and \"without a doubt, the most disgusting, idiotic and pathetic legislation I have ever seen in my 35 years of POA involvement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD public information officer Carlos Manfredi tweeted Friday about Hayward police Sgt. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/22/hayward-police-officer-shot\" target=\"_blank\">Scott Lunger\u003c/a>, who was killed in the line of duty on July 22, 2015. Manfedi included a hashtag, \"TheRealRemembranceDay.\" As of Friday afternoon, he was the only one who had recently used the phrase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/OfficerManfredi/status/756483271324602369\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We hear about this concept of Blue Lives Matter and people pushing back against these other movements that are trying to hold police officers accountable,\" Amir said, \"but when the offenses happen and we don't see any type of thorough investigation or any consequences to these investigations where people are being punished -- you can't just kill people and then hide behind 'I felt threatened for my life.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The five officers who fired at Woods have long since returned to duty, but multiple investigations into the shooting are ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When it comes to everyday people, we have to be accountable for the things that we're doing,\" Amir said. \"And when it comes to law enforcement agents, they need to be held accountable as well, and there should not be a double standard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Williams and Amir said there's room for common ground in the national struggle over police violence, and both said those conversations need to happen now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're better than this as humans,\" Williams said. \"We got to take a step back and realize that life is precious.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

In all, 27 shell casings were recovered from the scene, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dec. 2 shooting spurred massive changes within San Francisco law enforcement, including a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/01/department-of-justice-to-conduct-review-of-san-francisco-police-department\" target=\"_blank\">federal review\u003c/a> of the Police Department, a use-of-force \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/11/talk-of-tasers-overwhelms-debate-over-s-f-police-use-of-force\" target=\"_blank\">policy overhaul and a renewed call\u003c/a> for police to be equipped with electronic stun guns commonly known as Tasers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco also filed its \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/299032167/Defendant-s-Answer-Gwendolyn-Woods-v-San-Francisco-et-al\" target=\"_blank\">response\u003c/a> to Gwendolyn Woods' lawsuit Thursday, making the city's strongest statements yet that the shooting was a legal use of deadly force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a surprisingly detailed introduction, the city's answer recounts pieces of the incident that have trickled out in the months since the shooting. It says Woods was armed with a knife and had stabbed someone shortly before he was confronted by police. The stabbing victim's DNA matched blood found on a 4-inch steak knife Woods was carrying, the filing says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also says Woods didn't comply with officers' multiple pleas to drop the knife as they escalated use of \"less-lethal\" force:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As the officers tried to contain Woods, back-up officers arrived with the less than lethal weapons. The officers fired bean bags at Woods and ordered him to drop the knife. Woods refused. Officers deployed pepper spray and ordered Woods to drop the knife. Woods refused. None of the alternative forms of force had any effect on Woods. The officers and bystanders told Woods to drop the knife, but he continued to refuse and would not submit to arrest.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The medical examiner's report catalogs five bruises and scrapes attributed to those less-than-lethal rounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer concludes that officers \"have no duty to retreat\" and \"may block the path of a fleeing suspect,\" despite changes that are coming to SFPD policies following the shooting that emphasize slowing down and creating distance in response to suspects who aren't armed with guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The officers' actions were well within the settled parameters regarding the use of lethal force by police officers as spelled out by the United States Supreme Court,\" the city's answer says. \"When a suspect refuses to disarm and refuses to surrender peacefully, officers may use such force as is necessary to protect the public and themselves and to effect the arrest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointer said neither Woods' alleged criminal history, nor blood work showing an intoxicating level of methamphetamine, could have factored into the officers' decision to use lethal force the moment they began firing at Woods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What does inform that decision, which is something they don't want to deal with, is the video,\" Pointer said. \"If you review the video, this man's arms were at his side, and at no time was he lunging at officers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointer said Woods was \"exhibiting signs of being in some sort of mental distress, whether that be organic or caused by narcotic,\" and police should be able to effect a response, absent a deadly threat \"without needlessly spilling blood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A representative from the San Francisco Police Officers Association, which strongly criticized a unanimous resolution from city legislators declaring July 22 \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/resolutions16/r0026-16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Mario Woods Remembrance Day\u003c/a>,\" said the union had received the medical examiner's report but had no comment at this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POA President Martin Halloran described Woods as a \"convicted felon, validated gang member, indiscriminate predator, who allegedly attempted to murder an innocent victim in the Bayview,\" in a Feb. 1 written critique of the day of remembrance.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca name=\"report\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nRead the medical examiner's report below.

It says Woods was armed with a knife and had stabbed someone shortly before he was confronted by police. The stabbing victim's DNA matched blood found on a 4-inch steak knife Woods was carrying, the filing says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also says Woods didn't comply with officers' multiple pleas to drop the knife as they escalated use of \"less-lethal\" force:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As the officers tried to contain Woods, back-up officers arrived with the less than lethal weapons. The officers fired bean bags at Woods and ordered him to drop the knife. Woods refused. Officers deployed pepper spray and ordered Woods to drop the knife. Woods refused. None of the alternative forms of force had any effect on Woods. The officers and bystanders told Woods to drop the knife, but he continued to refuse and would not submit to arrest.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The medical examiner's report catalogs five bruises and scrapes attributed to those less-than-lethal rounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer concludes that officers \"have no duty to retreat\" and \"may block the path of a fleeing suspect,\" despite changes that are coming to SFPD policies following the shooting that emphasize slowing down and creating distance in response to suspects who aren't armed with guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The officers' actions were well within the settled parameters regarding the use of lethal force by police officers as spelled out by the United States Supreme Court,\" the city's answer says. \"When a suspect refuses to disarm and refuses to surrender peacefully, officers may use such force as is necessary to protect the public and themselves and to effect the arrest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointer said neither Woods' alleged criminal history, nor blood work showing an intoxicating level of methamphetamine, could have factored into the officers' decision to use lethal force the moment they began firing at Woods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What does inform that decision, which is something they don't want to deal with, is the video,\" Pointer said. \"If you review the video, this man's arms were at his side, and at no time was he lunging at officers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointer said Woods was \"exhibiting signs of being in some sort of mental distress, whether that be organic or caused by narcotic,\" and police should be able to effect a response, absent a deadly threat \"without needlessly spilling blood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A representative from the San Francisco Police Officers Association, which strongly criticized a unanimous resolution from city legislators declaring July 22 \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/resolutions16/r0026-16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Mario Woods Remembrance Day\u003c/a>,\" said the union had received the medical examiner's report but had no comment at this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POA President Martin Halloran described Woods as a \"convicted felon, validated gang member, indiscriminate predator, who allegedly attempted to murder an innocent victim in the Bayview,\" in a Feb. 1 written critique of the day of remembrance.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca name=\"report\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nRead the medical examiner's report below.

And it also doesn't carry with it the threat of enforcement through a federal court that a Civil Rights Division investigation has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With our process, it’s voluntary, so they’re not enforced in a court of law,\" COPS Director Ronald Davis said. \"But I will offer this, they are enforced in a court of public opinion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former DOJ Civil Rights Division attorney Aaron Zisser says that means the city will have to keep a close eye on the process if it expects accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Accountability is not going to be up to a court,\" he said. \"It's going to be the public paying attention over a two-year process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser said the Civil Rights Division also draws from attorneys with experience in disability rights cases to enforce better procedures when officers encounter people in a psychiatric crisis, which account for the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/09/30/half-of-those-killed-by-san-francisco-police-are-mentally-ill\" target=\"_blank\">majority of fatalities\u003c/a> at the hands of the SFPD and may have played a role in the Woods shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s just nothing that resembles those kind of remedies [in the COPS review],\" Zisser said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Northern California District U.S. Attorney Brian Stretch said a consultation with the Civil Rights Division took place, and \"a decision was made to go forward with collaborative reform.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he couldn't elaborate on how that decision was made, or who made it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How can we the citizens of San Francisco have confidence in this process?\" Karen Fleshman with the Justice 4 Mario Woods Coalition asked, referencing noncooperation of the department and officers' union in local efforts to examine the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/29/s-f-district-attorney-calls-out-mayor-for-lip-service-on-police-reform\" target=\"_blank\">said last week\u003c/a> that the department and Police Officers Association had engaged in \"a dizzying array of stonewalling tactics\" against his efforts to investigate bias, transparency and accountability in city police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr said that line officers would cooperate with the COPS office review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The department has actually asked the Department of Justice to come in,\" he said, \"and anybody coming with the Department of Justice -- coming with the full weight of the Department of Justice -- wishes to speak to, that's going to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón said Monday that Suhr's response raised more questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm pleased that COPS is performing this review,\" he said. \"Regardless, the motives of a department willing to cooperate with some efforts at reform but not others concerns me. I believe a civil rights inquiry with enforcement authority is more likely to result in meaningful reforms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee, however, welcomed the review as a response to his \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/26/mayor-ed-lee-asks-for-federal-probe-into-mario-woods-killing-sfpd\" target=\"_blank\">request last week\u003c/a> for a federal probe of the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the past, the DOJ had to kind of force their way into many cities without the needed cooperation,\" Lee said. \"This is a collaborative effort. We will give up the information that we have. We will allow ourselves to be exposed by way of practices that we have and the practices that we should end and those that we should adopt.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post 1:44 p.m. Monday, Feb. 1\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr>\nAmid a growing clamor for a federal probe into recent scandals and officer-involved shootings at the San Francisco Police Department, one wing of the U.S. Department of Justice is poised to announce a \"comprehensive review\" of the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's likely the Monday afternoon announcement will not be the independent federal investigation that some city leaders, protesters, legal experts and the family of a man shot and killed by SFPD officers two months ago had in mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is great in terms of a starting point, but by no means is this the top-to-bottom investigation and analysis the community deserves,\" said civil rights attorney Adante Pointer, who is \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/11/mario-woods-mother-suing-san-francisco-amid-calls-for-police-chiefs-resignation\" target=\"_blank\">representing the mother of Mario Woods\u003c/a>, the 26-year-old black man shot to death by San Francisco police Dec. 2. \"We're happy to see the DOJ is here, but there's more that we're asking for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday's announcement will include acting Northern California U.S. Attorney Brian Stretch, two officials with the Department of Justice's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Office of Community Oriented Policing Services\u003c/a> (COPS), Mayor Ed Lee and Police Chief Greg Suhr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A stronger federal probe into whether the way the San Francisco Police Department operates routinely violates people's civil rights appears unlikely at this stage. The Justice Department can do that through what's often called a \"pattern-of-practice\" investigation. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division has brought lawsuits that launched that level of intervention in Baltimore, Chicago, and Ferguson, Missouri, among other major cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'COPS is going to be helping out the Police Department in two ways: It takes them off the hook from doing something -- a lot better than either firing the chief or putting out bold new guidelines'\u003ccite>Professor Franklin Zimring,\u003cbr>\nUC Berkeley Law\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"This is much less than that,\" said Franklin Zimring, law professor at UC Berkeley. \"There is a marriage of more than convenience here because what San Francisco needs is someone to take the heat off its chief.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimring said San Francisco police had a very low rate of fatal officer-involved shootings between 2009 and 2012, when he studied use of force in 14 major police departments. But last year, use of deadly force spiked. Separately, the department was forced to deal with a scandal over a group of officers who were found to have exchanged \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/sfpd-text-messaging-scandal\" target=\"_blank\">racist and homophobic text messages\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"COPS is going to be helping out the Police Department in two ways: It takes them off the hook from doing something -- a lot better than either firing the chief or putting out bold new guidelines,\" Zimring said. \"It's doing something without doing a lot, and it's win-win. COPS looks good and doesn't invest anything, and the San Francisco Police Department can write a letter explaining that they're doing something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Weisberg, a professor at Stanford Law School, said a voluntary COPS review is the lightest of several actions federal attorneys can take. He said it's \"a kind of mediation\" that allows the Justice Department to offer assistance in improving a police department's programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes that carries with it the implication that it would be a good idea for the police department to cooperate, otherwise the Department of Justice might take stronger measures,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weisberg said stronger action could include an investigation through the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, federal prosecution of individual officers for a particular shooting or incident, court-ordered reform and monitoring (as in Oakland) or a contractual agreement between Justice and the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'What we’ve been calling for is an introspective look into the pattern and practices of the Police Department.'\u003ccite>Supervisor Malia Cohen\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Board of Supervisors President London Breed says a voluntary COPS review isn't an adequate answer to calls she and \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=4222075&GUID=07DD3884-E52F-4082-AA2C-F854CF8EDAA6\" target=\"_blank\">other supervisors\u003c/a> have made for a federal civil rights probe. She says she still wants that, and thinks an enforcement mechanism is important for the Police Department to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s good, but it isn’t completely our request,\" Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Malia Cohen, who represents the Bayview neighborhood in which Woods was shot, echoed Breed's statements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we’ve been calling for is an introspective look into the pattern and practices of the Police Department,\" Cohen said. \"I just want to make sure that the DOJ is not making an announcement of the COPS office in lieu of the Civil Rights Division. I welcome both to come in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most detailed call for a federal investigation of the SFPD since the shooting came Friday from the Northern California branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/docs/20160129-aclu_letter_requesting_independent_investigation_into_sfpd.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">ACLU's letter\u003c/a> documents concerns over excessive use of deadly force, biased policing, interactions with mentally ill people, and \"system failures\" around discipline and accountability in the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also calls for a \"pattern and practice investigation into the San Francisco Police Department for civil rights violations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Early indications show that this will not go far enough to fix the systemic racism and problems in the San Francisco Police Department,\" ACLU staff attorney Micaela Davis said. \"We need the strong DOJ investigation in order to have full accountability on those issues. Anything less is not going to be sufficient.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis referenced Mayor Lee's and Chief Suhr's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/29/s-f-district-attorney-calls-out-mayor-for-lip-service-on-police-reform\" target=\"_blank\">less-than-enthusiastic participation\u003c/a> with District Attorney George Gascón's initiative to probe the Police Departments culture and practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are concerned that the mayor may be using this announcement to take attention away from an ongoing responsibility to cooperate with local efforts and reform,\" Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And it also doesn't carry with it the threat of enforcement through a federal court that a Civil Rights Division investigation has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With our process, it’s voluntary, so they’re not enforced in a court of law,\" COPS Director Ronald Davis said. \"But I will offer this, they are enforced in a court of public opinion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former DOJ Civil Rights Division attorney Aaron Zisser says that means the city will have to keep a close eye on the process if it expects accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Accountability is not going to be up to a court,\" he said. \"It's going to be the public paying attention over a two-year process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser said the Civil Rights Division also draws from attorneys with experience in disability rights cases to enforce better procedures when officers encounter people in a psychiatric crisis, which account for the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/09/30/half-of-those-killed-by-san-francisco-police-are-mentally-ill\" target=\"_blank\">majority of fatalities\u003c/a> at the hands of the SFPD and may have played a role in the Woods shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s just nothing that resembles those kind of remedies [in the COPS review],\" Zisser said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Northern California District U.S. Attorney Brian Stretch said a consultation with the Civil Rights Division took place, and \"a decision was made to go forward with collaborative reform.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he couldn't elaborate on how that decision was made, or who made it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How can we the citizens of San Francisco have confidence in this process?\" Karen Fleshman with the Justice 4 Mario Woods Coalition asked, referencing noncooperation of the department and officers' union in local efforts to examine the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/29/s-f-district-attorney-calls-out-mayor-for-lip-service-on-police-reform\" target=\"_blank\">said last week\u003c/a> that the department and Police Officers Association had engaged in \"a dizzying array of stonewalling tactics\" against his efforts to investigate bias, transparency and accountability in city police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr said that line officers would cooperate with the COPS office review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The department has actually asked the Department of Justice to come in,\" he said, \"and anybody coming with the Department of Justice -- coming with the full weight of the Department of Justice -- wishes to speak to, that's going to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón said Monday that Suhr's response raised more questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm pleased that COPS is performing this review,\" he said. \"Regardless, the motives of a department willing to cooperate with some efforts at reform but not others concerns me. I believe a civil rights inquiry with enforcement authority is more likely to result in meaningful reforms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee, however, welcomed the review as a response to his \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/26/mayor-ed-lee-asks-for-federal-probe-into-mario-woods-killing-sfpd\" target=\"_blank\">request last week\u003c/a> for a federal probe of the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the past, the DOJ had to kind of force their way into many cities without the needed cooperation,\" Lee said. \"This is a collaborative effort. We will give up the information that we have.

The Justice Department can do that through what's often called a \"pattern-of-practice\" investigation. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division has brought lawsuits that launched that level of intervention in Baltimore, Chicago, and Ferguson, Missouri, among other major cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'COPS is going to be helping out the Police Department in two ways: It takes them off the hook from doing something -- a lot better than either firing the chief or putting out bold new guidelines'\u003ccite>Professor Franklin Zimring,\u003cbr>\nUC Berkeley Law\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"This is much less than that,\" said Franklin Zimring, law professor at UC Berkeley. \"There is a marriage of more than convenience here because what San Francisco needs is someone to take the heat off its chief.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimring said San Francisco police had a very low rate of fatal officer-involved shootings between 2009 and 2012, when he studied use of force in 14 major police departments. But last year, use of deadly force spiked. Separately, the department was forced to deal with a scandal over a group of officers who were found to have exchanged \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/sfpd-text-messaging-scandal\" target=\"_blank\">racist and homophobic text messages\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"COPS is going to be helping out the Police Department in two ways: It takes them off the hook from doing something -- a lot better than either firing the chief or putting out bold new guidelines,\" Zimring said. \"It's doing something without doing a lot, and it's win-win. COPS looks good and doesn't invest anything, and the San Francisco Police Department can write a letter explaining that they're doing something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Weisberg, a professor at Stanford Law School, said a voluntary COPS review is the lightest of several actions federal attorneys can take. He said it's \"a kind of mediation\" that allows the Justice Department to offer assistance in improving a police department's programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes that carries with it the implication that it would be a good idea for the police department to cooperate, otherwise the Department of Justice might take stronger measures,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weisberg said stronger action could include an investigation through the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, federal prosecution of individual officers for a particular shooting or incident, court-ordered reform and monitoring (as in Oakland) or a contractual agreement between Justice and the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'What we’ve been calling for is an introspective look into the pattern and practices of the Police Department.'\u003ccite>Supervisor Malia Cohen\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Board of Supervisors President London Breed says a voluntary COPS review isn't an adequate answer to calls she and \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=4222075&GUID=07DD3884-E52F-4082-AA2C-F854CF8EDAA6\" target=\"_blank\">other supervisors\u003c/a> have made for a federal civil rights probe. She says she still wants that, and thinks an enforcement mechanism is important for the Police Department to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s good, but it isn’t completely our request,\" Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Malia Cohen, who represents the Bayview neighborhood in which Woods was shot, echoed Breed's statements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we’ve been calling for is an introspective look into the pattern and practices of the Police Department,\" Cohen said. \"I just want to make sure that the DOJ is not making an announcement of the COPS office in lieu of the Civil Rights Division. I welcome both to come in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most detailed call for a federal investigation of the SFPD since the shooting came Friday from the Northern California branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/docs/20160129-aclu_letter_requesting_independent_investigation_into_sfpd.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">ACLU's letter\u003c/a> documents concerns over excessive use of deadly force, biased policing, interactions with mentally ill people, and \"system failures\" around discipline and accountability in the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also calls for a \"pattern and practice investigation into the San Francisco Police Department for civil rights violations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Early indications show that this will not go far enough to fix the systemic racism and problems in the San Francisco Police Department,\" ACLU staff attorney Micaela Davis said. \"We need the strong DOJ investigation in order to have full accountability on those issues. Anything less is not going to be sufficient.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis referenced Mayor Lee's and Chief Suhr's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/29/s-f-district-attorney-calls-out-mayor-for-lip-service-on-police-reform\" target=\"_blank\">less-than-enthusiastic participation\u003c/a> with District Attorney George Gascón's initiative to probe the Police Departments culture and practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We take physical and mental abuse every day. Yet we come back day after day because this is our calling. We just ask for the Police Commission not to pass judgment, to not become another Ferguson.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After three officers spoke, the union's contingent of mostly off-duty police walked out of the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re not going to waste our time listening to all this crap,\" former POA president and current union consultant \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/police-union-consultant-may-still-be-lobbying-for-poa/\" target=\"_blank\">Gary Delagnes\u003c/a> said outside the meeting. \"Other people give these protesters credibility; we don’t.

And this was the start of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the new disclosures Delagnes said would come out in the coming weeks is a statement Woods allegedly made just before officers shot him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It needs to go through the media with documentation and verification, not just me,\" he said, \"from police reports that people have never seen, from statements from the officers that people have never seen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Woods supporter said the POA employed \"intimidation tactics\" at the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have no respect for them at all,\" said Shawn Richard, the head of an anti-violence group and spokesman for Woods' family. \"It makes them look like they a gang, and that’s not cool. You want to holler about gangs in different neighborhoods and different cities, and then you walk in here like a gang and walk out like a gang? The difference is you got on suits and ties.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard reiterated the call for a federal investigation into the shooting and criminal charges for the officers involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I want to see policies and procedures changed within the San Francisco Police Department and fixed for what’s right for the African-American and brown community,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

When Lee asked Halloran to show up along with the police chief for the City Hall news conference, the union president declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically, the mayor brought the actions of our officers into question,” Halloran said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the officers who opened fire on Woods last Wednesday “followed every departmental protocol, and shot only after after having exhausted every other means of nonlethal use of force.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his statement, the mayor said that he had seen the cell phone video of the five officers firing at least 15 rounds at Woods and that “I found it very upsetting. ... It raised a number of questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee wasn’t alone in his concerns. Police Commissioner Joe Marshall, who was on hand with the mayor, later told reporters, “The fact that one officer fired, then all the other officers fired, is what has the community up in arms. To me, it felt like an execution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Halloran countered, “You can’t judge a situation on the basis of an eight-second video.” He noted that Woods, who had allegedly stabbed a man in the shoulder, had been pepper-sprayed and shot with nonlethal beanbags, and still wasn’t surrendering.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Halloran also issued \u003ca href=\"http://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20151208/75/5c/5c/82/df77ca64a657b03c853e3506/Press_Release_120815.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">a statement\u003c/a> on Tuesday responding to critics of officers' actions in the Woods incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post, Monday, Dec. 7:\u003c/strong> Amid community outrage over the videotaped police shooting of a Bayview man last week, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said the city is \"moving fast\" to give the Police Department more options to de-escalate confrontations with suspects \"with a minimum use of force.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee and Police Chief Greg Suhr announced at a Monday press conference at City Hall that the Police Commission would open its review at Wednesday's meeting.

The department currently has 60 shields and is beginning to deploy them to officers in the field, officials at Monday's press conference said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, we’ll open it up,\" Police Commission member Joe Marshall said of the department's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sf-police.org/modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=14790\" target=\"_blank\">use of force policy\u003c/a>. \"We’ll talk about use of force.

Our Police Department will have at least as much training in de-escalation as we do on use of force.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco's last four police chiefs, including Suhr, have urged the Police Commission to approve the use of Tasers. Suhr dropped his most recent Taser request, in 2013, after \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/openforum/article/San-Francisco-police-don-t-need-Tasers-4304521.php\" target=\"_blank\">encountering skepticism\u003c/a> about the devices' safety and effectiveness from police-accountability activists and members of the Police Commission.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"jQt722pfIQyee5GTy5wCIefBZUk9IFRk\"]\u003cbr>\nMonday, Suhr made reference to \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/12035552/Leytonstone-London-tube-underground-machete-attack-terrorism.html\">a weekend incident in London\u003c/a> in which police officers used Tasers to stop a man who stabbed two people on a subway platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly as you saw on Saturday ... the London Police Department were able to stop that threat with the use of a Taser,\" Suhr said. \"If that exact same incident happened here in San Francisco, we would have nothing but lethal force. So we would like to have Tasers. That will be part of the discussion that will be taken up when we open our use of force policy. ... I will be asking for Tasers, yes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr has said officers opened fire after Woods ignored repeated warnings to put down an 8-inch kitchen knife he was holding. Suhr added that attempts to subdue Woods with less-lethal beanbag rounds and pepper spray failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Officers are allowed to fire in defense of themselves or others in danger of serious injury or death,” Suhr said after the shooting. He told a Bayview community meeting on Friday that the most viewed video of the incident, posted to Instagram, showed Woods extending his arm toward one of the eight or more officers who had confronted him -- many with guns drawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr's argument drew jeering from the Bayview audience, along with shouted demands that he step down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/07/video-evidence-appears-to-contradict-sfpd-account-of-mario-woods-killing\" target=\"_blank\">KQED analysis\u003c/a> of the video shows that the police gunfire actually began a fraction of a second before Woods extended his arm and that his movement may have been a response to being hit by a bullet. The Police Department has said five officers fired on Woods. Slowed-down audio of the encounter suggests at least 19 shots were fired in a 3.5-second span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr added at Monday's appearance with the mayor that he asked for SFPD to participate in \u003ca href=\"http://www.policeforum.org/assets/reengineeringtraining1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">research\u003c/a> on police use of force policies and training underway at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.policeforum.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Police Executive Research Forum\u003c/a>, a Washington, D.C.-based police practices research organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee and Suhr met with reporters at City Hall a few hours before a meeting of the San Francisco NAACP, which was called to discuss responses to the Woods shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an acknowledgment of the public anger over the Woods shooting, Lee said Monday: “This country has seen far to many incidences where conflicts between police and young men of color result in the death of a young person. In San Francisco, we’re not that kind of city. That’s just not our values. So let me say again very clearly … black lives do matter, and as mayor I commit that we’ll take all necessary steps to prevent these kinds of incidences when possible, to ensure public safety, protect the lives of our young people and maintain officer safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Commissioner Marshall said, \"We gotta do better than what you just saw. To my thinking, the last thing we should have done, even though it may be in policy, was what you saw happen to that young man.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

He told a Bayview community meeting on Friday that the most viewed video of the incident, posted to Instagram, showed Woods extending his arm toward one of the eight or more officers who had confronted him -- many with guns drawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr's argument drew jeering from the Bayview audience, along with shouted demands that he step down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/07/video-evidence-appears-to-contradict-sfpd-account-of-mario-woods-killing\" target=\"_blank\">KQED analysis\u003c/a> of the video shows that the police gunfire actually began a fraction of a second before Woods extended his arm and that his movement may have been a response to being hit by a bullet. The Police Department has said five officers fired on Woods.

In San Francisco, we’re not that kind of city. That’s just not our values. So let me say again very clearly … black lives do matter, and as mayor I commit that we’ll take all necessary steps to prevent these kinds of incidences when possible, to ensure public safety, protect the lives of our young people and maintain officer safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
