U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson wrote that discipline is worthless if it is not carried out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because imposition of discipline is meaningless if it is not final, the Monitor and the Court must consider whether discipline is upheld at the highest level, most often arbitration,\" wrote Henderson, whose order was issued Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He cited two cases. One was the \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/07/31/407627-robert-roche-scott-olsen/\" target=\"_blank\">recent reinstatement of Officer Robert Roche\u003c/a>, who was fired for lobbing a tear gas canister into a crowd of Occupy Oakland protesters who were trying to help Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen in October 2011 after he'd been struck in the head by a police projectile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_26339892/judge-orders-investigation-into-oaklands-police-arbitration-losses\" target=\"_blank\">prevailed only three times\u003c/a> out of the last 15 arbitration cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When an officer is fired by the police review board, the police union can appeal the decision by going to an arbitrator. That person then acts as a judge, hears both sides of the case and decides whether the officer can return to duty. Two weeks ago, arbitrator David Stiteler overturned the police department's termination of Roche and ordered him reinstated with back pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2011, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_17552820?nclick_check=1\" target=\"_blank\">Officer Hector Jimenez was also ordered back\u003c/a> on the job by an arbitrator after being fired for shooting an unarmed suspect in the back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not an uncommon problem, says Professor David Harris, an expert in police misconduct at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hear this complaint almost more often than any other from police leaders. 'I fired the guy, he did this, I fired him and I got him back.

(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:15 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Declaring \"Oakland is a safer city today than it was a year ago,\" Mayor Jean Quan confirmed that interim Police Chief Sean Whent has been hired to lead the department. In a statement, Quan said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As a non-nonsense chief, he has led the department’s reorganization, built a strong leadership team and strengthened police collaboration with neighborhood leaders. We’ve made significant progress in the last year in both reducing crime and completing mandated federal reforms. We have more more work to do, but Chief Whent has demonstrated he is the right person for the job.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong> After a year as interim chief, Sean Whent is about to be named Oakland's police chief — and one of the department's severest critics says it's a good move. 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. He has put together a good command staff. He seems to have a good vision for the future. He has done a very good job of working with the monitor to implement the Negotiated Settlement Agreement. 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. There should be some tension between the chief and the union. The chief represents the entire department, not just the union, and is responsive to the city, so I think it’s a good thing there’s some tension.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:15 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Declaring \"Oakland is a safer city today than it was a year ago,\" Mayor Jean Quan confirmed that interim Police Chief Sean Whent has been hired to lead the department. In a statement, Quan said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As a non-nonsense chief, he has led the department’s reorganization, built a strong leadership team and strengthened police collaboration with neighborhood leaders. We’ve made significant progress in the last year in both reducing crime and completing mandated federal reforms. We have more more work to do, but Chief Whent has demonstrated he is the right person for the job.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong> After a year as interim chief, Sean Whent is about to be named Oakland's police chief — and one of the department's severest critics says it's a good move. 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. He has put together a good command staff. He seems to have a good vision for the future. He has done a very good job of working with the monitor to implement the Negotiated Settlement Agreement. 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. There should be some tension between the chief and the union. The chief represents the entire department, not just the union, and is responsive to the city, so I think it’s a good thing there’s some tension.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last night, at least nine people were arrested, numerous acts of vandalism were committed, and a waiter who was trying to prevent masked protesters from smashing windows at the downtown restaurant Flora was attacked with what is reported to be a hammer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some may be wondering this morning why Oakland, once again, has been a particular target of protesters. One comment on the Forum website today:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t get it. Why do Oakland protests always seem to end up destroying businesses in their own community?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And another:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What responsibility, if any, does Mayor Quan take for the ineffective response to these ‘protests’ over the last two years? Certainly other cities deal with this effectively all the time.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, though, may think Quan and the OPD are caught in a damned-if-they-do-damned-if-they-don’t dilemma. San Francisco Chronicle reporter Demian Bulwa, who was covering the protests, said on today’s show that while police were hanging back and definitely did not have control of the situation, they have been criticized in the past for escalating confrontations with demonstrators. In fact, just two weeks ago, the City Council \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_23589592/oakland-approves-1-million-occupy-settlement\">approved a $1.17 million settlement\u003c/a> with 12 Occupy Oakland participants who were injured during two 2011 protests by beanbags or flash-bang grenades. A couple of weeks before that, both Oakland and Alameda County agreed to pay $1 million in damages to arrestees who were protesting the sentence of Johannes Mehserle in 2010 for the shooting death of Oscar Grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Evidence in the case showed that the Oakland Police Department violated a 2004 court order concerning the handling of large numbers of protesters,” the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/oakland-and-alameda-county-agree-to-pay-oscar-grant-protesters-1-million/Content?oid=3619442\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">East Bay Express\u003c/a> wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, OPD is now \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/16/jean-quan-oakland-protests-trayvon-martin/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overseen by an outsider\u003c/a>, an appointment made as part of a deal to avoid an unprecedented federal takeover due to lack of compliance with reforms mandated in a settlement over the Riders police misconduct case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Police Chief Whent said on today’s show that the lawsuits had nothing to do with the department’s lack of aggressive action during the recent protests. “You try to not provoke and to not get hurt,” he said. “Our focus is safety over property. … We’re going to review what happened. I think we probably could do better.” He said the crowd was very dispersed and hitting a lot of different areas, thwarting an effective response. Whent acknowledged that staffing was inadequate on Saturday, after news of the verdict broke, but said that on Sunday, “we planned better.” Last night, he said, “we staffed similar to how we did on Sunday expecting the same type of crowd, but obviously it was a different type of crowd that showed up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan also said “we need to do better,” and that there would be a review of the police response. The mayor said the decision to devote more police resources to demonstrations is not an easy calculation. “When we do that, we have to take police out of our community. (That’s) something we need to weigh every day and every event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor made a distinction between “real demonstrators” and the masked vandals who have been rearing their heads at the end of protests. “There are people who were peacefully and legitimately demonstrating and (the vandals) consistently hide within these crowds,” she said. “People who are from Oakland who do regular demonstrations actually have … as much security to keep people they don’t know out of their demonstrations as to actually doing the demonstration. These protests have been much more spontaneous and a lot less well organized. It’s frustrating to the organizers of the demonstrations, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan characterized the violent protesters as coming from outside Oakland. “They obviously don’t know the city very well,” she said, citing the vandalism of two well-respected local nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Tribune held a \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_23664082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">live chat\u003c/a> today with Paul Junge of the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, discussing how the local business community feels about the vandalism and the city’s response. He said, among other things, “There is frustration that the events happen again and again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201307160900\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Listen to the show\u003c/em>\u003c/a> …\u003c/p>\n\n",

San Francisco Chronicle reporter Demian Bulwa, who was covering the protests, said on today’s show that while police were hanging back and definitely did not have control of the situation, they have been criticized in the past for escalating confrontations with demonstrators. In fact, just two weeks ago, the City Council \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_23589592/oakland-approves-1-million-occupy-settlement\">approved a $1.17 million settlement\u003c/a> with 12 Occupy Oakland participants who were injured during two 2011 protests by beanbags or flash-bang grenades. A couple of weeks before that, both Oakland and Alameda County agreed to pay $1 million in damages to arrestees who were protesting the sentence of Johannes Mehserle in 2010 for the shooting death of Oscar Grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Evidence in the case showed that the Oakland Police Department violated a 2004 court order concerning the handling of large numbers of protesters,” the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/oakland-and-alameda-county-agree-to-pay-oscar-grant-protesters-1-million/Content?oid=3619442\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">East Bay Express\u003c/a> wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, OPD is now \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/16/jean-quan-oakland-protests-trayvon-martin/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overseen by an outsider\u003c/a>, an appointment made as part of a deal to avoid an unprecedented federal takeover due to lack of compliance with reforms mandated in a settlement over the Riders police misconduct case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Police Chief Whent said on today’s show that the lawsuits had nothing to do with the department’s lack of aggressive action during the recent protests. “You try to not provoke and to not get hurt,” he said. “Our focus is safety over property. … We’re going to review what happened. I think we probably could do better.” He said the crowd was very dispersed and hitting a lot of different areas, thwarting an effective response. Whent acknowledged that staffing was inadequate on Saturday, after news of the verdict broke, but said that on Sunday, “we planned better.” Last night, he said, “we staffed similar to how we did on Sunday expecting the same type of crowd, but obviously it was a different type of crowd that showed up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan also said “we need to do better,” and that there would be a review of the police response. The mayor said the decision to devote more police resources to demonstrations is not an easy calculation. “When we do that, we have to take police out of our community. (That’s) something we need to weigh every day and every event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor made a distinction between “real demonstrators” and the masked vandals who have been rearing their heads at the end of protests. “There are people who were peacefully and legitimately demonstrating and (the vandals) consistently hide within these crowds,” she said. “People who are from Oakland who do regular demonstrations actually have … as much security to keep people they don’t know out of their demonstrations as to actually doing the demonstration. These protests have been much more spontaneous and a lot less well organized. It’s frustrating to the organizers of the demonstrations, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan characterized the violent protesters as coming from outside Oakland. “They obviously don’t know the city very well,” she said, citing the vandalism of two well-respected local nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Tribune held a \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_23664082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">live chat\u003c/a> today with Paul Junge of the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, discussing how the local business community feels about the vandalism and the city’s response. He said, among other things, “There is frustration that the events happen again and again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201307160900\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Listen to the show\u003c/em>\u003c/a> …\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
