It says the total number of officers involved in responding to the 23 protests in Oakland was about 6,500 -- 5,115 OPD personnel and 1,366 sworn officers from other departments who were responding to mutual aid requests.

"content": "\u003cp>The relatively quick and detailed release of information this past weekend regarding Oakland's first officer-involved shooting in almost two years signals a new culture of transparency in the department, experts and observers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland police dispatch got a call at 12:14 a.m. Saturday reporting that a 24-year-old male in psychiatric crisis was armed with a weapon and threatening to hit family members, according to the release (\u003ca href=\"#release\">read below\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Oakland police sergeant and other officers responded to the call and headed to the 2100 block of East 17th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They encountered a man carrying two golf clubs, who tried to strike the officers. They issued commands and then tried Tasers, but the stun gun probes didn't make contact. One of the officers fired his or her gun. No one was injured, and the man was transported by paramedics for a mental health evaluation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are still details of the incident that are unclear. An OPD public information officer did not immediately have answers regarding department policy for dispatching specially trained police to calls involving mental illness, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what was released, and the speed with which it was, could be part of a recent broader change in response to outrage over police shootings around the country in 2014, UC Hastings law Professor Hadar Aviram said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re seeing more and more police departments trying to be more transparent,\" she said, \"partly because it’s better PR for them, and partly to satisfy this concern about lack of transparency. So this is part of a growing trend, and a growing trend to combat the kind of critique and negative press that they’re getting -- arguably justifiably -- for the way they’ve acted in other events in the past.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland civil rights attorney Jim Chanin has been litigating with the OPD since 1979, and he's one of a team of attorneys behind the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/06/oaklands-agreement-on-police-dept-receivership-by-any-other-name\" target=\"_blank\">Negotiated Settlement Agreement\u003c/a> stemming from the Riders scandal that erupted in 2000. Chanin's been pushing the OPD for greater transparency and better use-of-force policies through that process for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department has changed, but only recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you’d asked me that question in 2012, when I’d been doing this for nine years, I would have said no,\" Chanin said, \"but since you’re asking the question in 2015 ... the answer’s yes. The department is much more open and transparent since Sean Whent was appointed as chief of police.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent was named interim chief in May 2013 -- a few weeks before Oakland's last officer-involved shooting, in which a suspect was killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chanin says that in the past couple years, some amazing things have happened with Oakland police use of force, crime and the department's relationship with the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Citizen complaints have fallen in Oakland by 33 percent,\" Chanin said. \"Uses of force are down even more than a third, yet arrests are up and crime is down. So what that shows is you can have constitutional, transparent policing without raising your crime rate or endangering officer safety. And I think that's an important lesson that departments around the country should take note of.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps they are. Whent is on the national stage, recently speaking in Washington, D.C., about his department's evolving crowd management policies following violent clashes with protesters during Occupy Oakland. He was on a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/05/eric-holder-seeks-straight-talk-on-policing-in-bay-area-visit/\" target=\"_blank\">panel last week\u003c/a> with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder talking police/community relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the Oakland Police Department was also an early adopter of body-worn cameras, with every uniformed cop wearing one since 2013. Officers' cameras were rolling during Friday's incident, according to the department, and investigators are reviewing the footage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cameras won't solve all problems, Aviram said, but they can help diffuse violence on both sides of the badge before it happens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cops that use the lapel cameras are reporting that they’re seeing a lot less animosity from people who see that the interaction with the cops is being recorded,\" she said. \"It may also be curbing the cops' tendency to use force or be more aggressive in an interaction with citizens if they know that it’s being recorded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the same goes for a department that knows it's expected to report details of critical incidents quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the police department itself knows the information is being disseminated,\" Aviram said, \"they might try to combat bad policies to begin with to avoid the negative publicity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An open and approachable police department will have a better relationship with the community it polices, Chanin said, which will improve officer safety and help solve crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Aviram said that kind of relationship might still be a ways off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think right now there is a lot of public animosity, much of it understandable, much of it justified, toward police departments and toward the way they’ve been acting,\" she said. \"So I think it’s going to take a pretty substantial change to restore community faith in police behavior.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"release\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nRead the news release below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[scribd id=255248953 key=key-9DcBM0RkTOqOTYQjNzbE mode=scroll]\u003c/p>\n\n",

They issued commands and then tried Tasers, but the stun gun probes didn't make contact. One of the officers fired his or her gun. No one was injured, and the man was transported by paramedics for a mental health evaluation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are still details of the incident that are unclear. An OPD public information officer did not immediately have answers regarding department policy for dispatching specially trained police to calls involving mental illness, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what was released, and the speed with which it was, could be part of a recent broader change in response to outrage over police shootings around the country in 2014, UC Hastings law Professor Hadar Aviram said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re seeing more and more police departments trying to be more transparent,\" she said, \"partly because it’s better PR for them, and partly to satisfy this concern about lack of transparency. So this is part of a growing trend, and a growing trend to combat the kind of critique and negative press that they’re getting -- arguably justifiably -- for the way they’ve acted in other events in the past.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland civil rights attorney Jim Chanin has been litigating with the OPD since 1979, and he's one of a team of attorneys behind the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/06/oaklands-agreement-on-police-dept-receivership-by-any-other-name\" target=\"_blank\">Negotiated Settlement Agreement\u003c/a> stemming from the Riders scandal that erupted in 2000. Chanin's been pushing the OPD for greater transparency and better use-of-force policies through that process for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department has changed, but only recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you’d asked me that question in 2012, when I’d been doing this for nine years, I would have said no,\" Chanin said, \"but since you’re asking the question in 2015 ... the answer’s yes. The department is much more open and transparent since Sean Whent was appointed as chief of police.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent was named interim chief in May 2013 -- a few weeks before Oakland's last officer-involved shooting, in which a suspect was killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chanin says that in the past couple years, some amazing things have happened with Oakland police use of force, crime and the department's relationship with the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Citizen complaints have fallen in Oakland by 33 percent,\" Chanin said. \"Uses of force are down even more than a third, yet arrests are up and crime is down. So what that shows is you can have constitutional, transparent policing without raising your crime rate or endangering officer safety. And I think that's an important lesson that departments around the country should take note of.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps they are. Whent is on the national stage, recently speaking in Washington, D.C., about his department's evolving crowd management policies following violent clashes with protesters during Occupy Oakland. He was on a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/05/eric-holder-seeks-straight-talk-on-policing-in-bay-area-visit/\" target=\"_blank\">panel last week\u003c/a> with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder talking police/community relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the Oakland Police Department was also an early adopter of body-worn cameras, with every uniformed cop wearing one since 2013. Officers' cameras were rolling during Friday's incident, according to the department, and investigators are reviewing the footage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cameras won't solve all problems, Aviram said, but they can help diffuse violence on both sides of the badge before it happens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cops that use the lapel cameras are reporting that they’re seeing a lot less animosity from people who see that the interaction with the cops is being recorded,\" she said. \"It may also be curbing the cops' tendency to use force or be more aggressive in an interaction with citizens if they know that it’s being recorded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the same goes for a department that knows it's expected to report details of critical incidents quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the police department itself knows the information is being disseminated,\" Aviram said, \"they might try to combat bad policies to begin with to avoid the negative publicity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An open and approachable police department will have a better relationship with the community it polices, Chanin said, which will improve officer safety and help solve crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Aviram said that kind of relationship might still be a ways off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think right now there is a lot of public animosity, much of it understandable, much of it justified, toward police departments and toward the way they’ve been acting,\" she said. \"So I think it’s going to take a pretty substantial change to restore community faith in police behavior.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"release\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nRead the news release below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ciframe\n class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\"\n src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/255248953/content?start_page=1&view_mode=&access_key=key-9DcBM0RkTOqOTYQjNzbE\"\n title=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/255248953\"\n data-auto-height=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"scribd_255248953\"\n width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\n \u003ca class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__scribdShortcode__scribd_footer\"\n href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/255248953\"\n target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View this document on Scribd\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Her son Alan was shot and killed by an OPD officer in 2012. (Daniela Kantorova/Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Two days after the Oakland City Council agreed to settle a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from one of the city’s most controversial police shootings, the victim’s mother, Jeralyn Blueford spoke with KQED's News Associate Oakland Local in an exclusive interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No amount of money could replace my son’s life,” Blueford said. “His spirit should be allowed to rest in peace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each day I spend in terror of the police, grieving, bleeding heart,” she said. “It hurts all the time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Blueford was an 18-year-old senior at Skyline High School when he was killed by Oakland Police Department Officer Miguel Masso during a foot chase in East Oakland in 2012. Police initially claimed that Blueford was killed after exchanging gunfire with Masso, but it was later determined that Masso shot himself in the foot and that Blueford was not holding a gun when he was shot and had not fired a gun found near the scene. The City Council settled the case for $110,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s never been about the money,” Jeralyn Blueford said. “It’s about the truth and what’s right and standing up for change. Had we not said anything, they could have swept everything under the rug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Blueford, Masso testified in his deposition that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused him to black out after he shot himself in the foot (a shot initially blamed on the victim) and doesn’t remember killing Alan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What he said in deposition was totally different from what he said in the police report,” she noted, “but [the Alameda County District Attorney] ruled it justified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just wanted to tell Alan’s truth. [Masso] didn’t follow procedures,” Blueford said, recalling the night of Alan’s death. “My son is shot and killed. They did not notify us. They pretended they didn’t know who he was.” She noted that the police washed forensic evidence from the scene before it could be examined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a policy, the Oakland Police Department does not comment on officer personnel information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if she would have liked to recognition from the City of Oakland and OPD that they were at fault in her son’s death, she said, “That’s how you make change. Admitting when you’re wrong and don’t do it again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 3, 2014, in honor of the two-year anniversary of Alan’s death, the Alan Blueford Foundation organized a community walk. “It was a way to heal. It was just showing unity and love,” she said of the approximately 200 people who joined the walk and shared music and art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just the outpouring of love made me feel close to him,” she said. “I was able to tune into his spirit.” She added, “It made me feel honored and happy, sad, but at the same time, joy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement of the monetary settlement from the city, which admitted no wrongdoing on the part of Masso or the police department when it agreed to settle, had the opposite effect: “It was like reopening the wound,” Jeralyn said. “At that moment, it was the feelings of pain and loss.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who has closure for a loss of a child? I’ll live with that, unfortunately, for the rest of my life,” she said. “The thing is, what am I going to do with that pain?” Blueford vows to do what she can to bring justice to other mothers who have lost children. “There’s a bigger fight,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need people in the city who are going to hold the city and the police accountable,” she said. “I’m going to be using my voice.” She wants to reach out to other mothers through the foundation she started in her son’s honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was originally published on KQED News Associate site Oakland Local.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Had we not said anything, they could have swept everything under the rug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Blueford, Masso testified in his deposition that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused him to black out after he shot himself in the foot (a shot initially blamed on the victim) and doesn’t remember killing Alan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What he said in deposition was totally different from what he said in the police report,” she noted, “but [the Alameda County District Attorney] ruled it justified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just wanted to tell Alan’s truth. [Masso] didn’t follow procedures,” Blueford said, recalling the night of Alan’s death. “My son is shot and killed. They did not notify us. They pretended they didn’t know who he was.” She noted that the police washed forensic evidence from the scene before it could be examined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a policy, the Oakland Police Department does not comment on officer personnel information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if she would have liked to recognition from the City of Oakland and OPD that they were at fault in her son’s death, she said, “That’s how you make change.

I’ll live with that, unfortunately, for the rest of my life,” she said. “The thing is, what am I going to do with that pain?” Blueford vows to do what she can to bring justice to other mothers who have lost children. “There’s a bigger fight,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need people in the city who are going to hold the city and the police accountable,” she said. “I’m going to be using my voice.” She wants to reach out to other mothers through the foundation she started in her son’s honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was originally published on KQED News Associate site Oakland Local.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Mayor Jean Quan and other city officials have scheduled a 1 p.m. news conference to announce that Whent, who is 39, has been chosen following a nationwide search, according to the\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/news/ci_25760513/went-be-named-permanent-oakland-police-chief\"> Oakland Tribune\u003c/a> and other reports. Oakland attorney John Burris, a frequent critic of department policy who has represented many plaintiffs in suits against the city, called Whent \"a good, solid choice.\" He says Whent, who is serving alongside an overseer appointed by a federal judge, has been particularly effective in moving the department toward compliance with a court-decreed civil rights agreement. The Trib says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Whent's appointment is no surprise. His performance had recently been praised both by department's federal overseer, Robert Warshaw, and Mayor Jean Quan. Whent ascended to interim chief last year during one of the most turbulent weeks in Oakland Police Department history. Within 48 hours, Chief Howard Jordan announced he was taking a medical retirement. His initial replacement, Assistant Chief Anthony Toribio, quickly stepped down to make room for Whent. Whent, who had spent several years overseeing the investigation of officer misconduct, was seen as the preferred choice at the time of the department's federal overseers. His tenure in the Internal Affairs Division also made him unpopular with many officers. Whent got off to a rocky start as chief. He was criticized for the department's failure to prepare for violent protests that broke out following a Saturday evening acquittal in the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin. Whent faced more heat when he questioned whether police could safeguard downtown businesses that had been damaged the previous night by hammer-wielding protesters. But crime started falling during his first year in office after two years in which robberies and burglaries spiked. This year, major crimes are down 13 percent. Likewise, the department has made strides in satisfying court-ordered reforms stemming from the 1999 Riders police brutality scandal. A progress report released last month by Warshaw showed that the department was closer to completing the reforms than at any point since federal oversight began 11 years ago.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Oakland attorney Burris points to Warshaw's report on the OPD's recent progress in complying with a negotiated court settlement of a 2003 civil rights lawsuit as evidence that Whent has already been effective:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"He has worked very well as an interim chief.

In my point of view, I think it’s a good choice. I didn’t think it would be wise to find someone outside the department at a time when the NSA was not completed, and there would be a significant learning curve. So this is a good sound decision for the department. \"I recognize there have been some tension with the leadership of the union, who have voiced some opposition to Chief Whent along the way, but I think that’s good.
