He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

"content": "\u003cp>Among the tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters who continue to pour into the streets of cities across the country — and the world — decrying America's long history of violent, racially unjust policing, one rallying cry has gained particular traction: 'Defund the police.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what that actually means varies widely depending on who you ask, from dismantling or flat-out abolishing existing police forces to slashing their hefty budgets and diverting those funds to social service programs, which proponents say would much better serve and protect many communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadly speaking, 'defunding the police' entails minimizing the outsize role law enforcement has come to assume in most U.S. cities as the default responder for all matters of complaints, and delegating many of those responsibilities to unarmed social workers and other behavioral health specialists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we talk about defunding the police, what we’re saying is, ‘Invest in the resources that our communities need,'” Black Lives Matter co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/5NrRIIeNFfo\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alicia Garza said recently on NBC’s “Meet the Press.\"\u003c/a> So much police response, she added, “is directed toward quality-of-life issues, homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence and conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local leaders scramble to institute police reforms — from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823629/california-legislative-leaders-back-state-sleeper-hold-ban\">banning chokeholds\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824453/state-attorney-general-calls-for-a-way-to-ban-problem-cops-other-police-reforms\">heightening accountability\u003c/a> — many activists argue those tweaks won’t ultimately fix a system they consider fundamentally unjust. Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Pricey Business\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since the 1970s, when tough-on-crime policies took hold, most U.S. cities have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/06/12/upshot/cities-grew-safer-police-budgets-kept-growing.html\">funneled an increasingly large share of their budgets\u003c/a> into public safety, often at the expense of social service and anti-poverty programs. And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"police-violence\"]At a recent forum in Oakland on policing and racism, Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/09/gov-newsom-holds-meeting-on-racism-and-system-injustices-in-oakland-visits-miss-ollies/\">tiptoed around the issue\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re calling for eliminating police, no,” he said. “If you’re talking about reimagining and taking the opportunity to look at the responsibility and role that we place on law enforcement to be social workers, mental health workers, get involved in disputes where a badge and a gun are unnecessary, then I think absolutely this is an opportunity to look at all of the above.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, city leaders are beginning to propose policing reforms of various size and scope. None, though, has yet acceded to protesters' demands to completely dismantle or defund entire departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is the latest on what top local officials have so far proposed in the region's three largest cities, each of which has had its own troubling history of policing in Black and brown communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>SFPD budget (2019-20): \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/sites/default/files/CSF_Budget_Book_June_2019_Final_Web_REV2.pdf\">$695.7 million\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSworn officers: 2,260\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update: On July 31, San Francisco Mayor London Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831527/sf-mayor-breeds-new-budget-would-redirect-120-million-from-police-to-citys-black-community\">unveiled a proposed budget\u003c/a> that includes pulling $120 million dollars from law enforcement agencies and putting it into programs that support the city’s largely underserved Black community. The previous month, Breed also directed the police department to no longer\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\"> respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, revise its accountability and anti-bias practices and stop using military-grade equipment.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite pressure from activists on the street, Breed made clear she has no intention of dismantling the city's police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"San Francisco Mayor London Breed\"]'Completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.'[/pullquote]“I think it's understandable that people are feeling that way, but the fact is you have people who kill people, you have people who rob people and commit really horrible acts. And in those particular cases, there is a very strong need for law enforcement,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823865/london-breed-on-racism-i-have-lived-this-my-whole-life\">Breed recently told KQED's Scott Shafer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's important that our policies are adjusted and that we work to make our department better. And that definitely takes time. But to completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, however, Breed — who as mayor has consistently supported increasing SFPD's budget — proposed a set of major reforms that could transform San Francisco's on-the-ground policing operations. Most notably, SFPD \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\">will no longer respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, such as neighbor disputes, behavioral health crises and school discipline interventions. For calls that don't involve a threat to public safety, officers would be replaced by trained, unarmed social workers and behavioral health professionals, who Breed said are better equipped to de-escalate conflicts and limit unnecessary confrontations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11824152 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS5487_alt_297-1020x765.jpg']“We know that a lack of equity in our society overall leads to a lot of the problems that police are being asked to solve,” Breed said in a statement. “We are going to keep pushing for additional reforms and continue to find ways to reinvest in communities that have historically been underserved and harmed by systemic racism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed additionally proposed strengthening police accountability and anti-bias policies, and banning the department's use of military-grade weapons. She also joined Supervisor Shamann Walton in calling to divert an unspecified amount of funding from SFPD's budget to support programs in the city's African American community as a reparation for city policies that led to “decades of disinvestment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While few details about that plan have been given, Walton \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2020/06/san-francisco-police-chief-bill-scott-open-to-defunding-police-department/#:~:text=The%20chief%2C%20who%20oversees%20a,to%20be%20done%20%E2%80%9Cthoughtfully.%E2%80%9D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told Mission Local\u003c/a> he wanted to see “at least $25 million” redirected from the police department “if we are really trying to change some of the systemic issues oppressing Black people here in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed's reform proposals don’t include a budget or specifics, but are rather intended as a set of guidelines for the city's Police Commission and other city agencies to map out over the coming year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott recently said he was \"open\" to defunding a portion of his own department, as long as it's done \"thoughtfully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re at a time in policing in this country where the whole world is speaking to us and we need to hear what’s being said,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Defund-San-Francisco-police-Chief-Bill-Scott-15328129.php\">Chief Scott said\u003c/a> during a panel hosted by the Alice B.

City leaders pledged to reallocate those savings to fund alternative safety measures, including the creation of a non-police unit to respond to some 911 mental health crisis calls. The city also plans to convene a committee tasked with shifting public safety resources from enforcement to prevention services, with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2020/oaklands-mid-cycle-budget-cuts-14-3-million-from-police-budget-invests-additional-50-million-to-address-racial-disparities\">eventual stated goal\u003c/a> of reducing OPD's budget by 50%. Although a nod to activists' defunding demands, the new budget fell far short of the more substantial cuts that many are demanding.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top officials in Oakland have so far mostly supported leaving the Oakland Police Department’s hefty budget largely intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf\"]'I do not believe we need to defund in order to invest in ... community priorities.'[/pullquote]During Mayor Libby Schaaf's \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MayorLibbySchaaf/videos/596597447632290/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">virtual town hall\u003c/a> on \"structural racism and police reform\" last week, just a day after \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2020/06/11/de-fund-the-police-protesters-march-to-oakland-mayors-house\">thousands of protesters showed up outside her house\u003c/a> demanding she defund the police department, she acknowledged the need for major changes in the city's policing model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's a growing schism around what safety means,” Schaaf said. “Many people feel police are here to protect and serve,” she said. ”But for a growing number of people, particularly people of color, police do not invoke a sense of safety. They evoke a sense of oppression, of racism, of violence and abuse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Rickytherodas/status/1270920155753672705?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But similar to Breed, Schaaf emphasized that defunding the department was not a prudent path to take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf said Oakland needs a well-funded, capable police force to keep the streets safe. The city's police officers responded to over 100,000 calls last year, she noted, and have been instrumental in saving lives, preventing crime and bringing justice to victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a moment where we can continue to see this divide, or choose a third story, where government intervention and armed response is no longer necessary,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf also touted her current budget proposal — one submitted before Floyd's death — as a step in the right direction. It would cut about $5 million from the police department, reflecting citywide reductions due to the coronavirus economic fallout, but add roughly $22 million to programs supporting affordable housing, homelessness services and job training, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not believe we need to defund in order to invest in these community priorities,\" Schaaf said. \"That is what this budget does.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/defund-the-police-what-does-mean-oakland-department-mayor/6241314/\">interview last week with ABC7\u003c/a>, she added, \"We also must invest, not divest in training and holding accountable our officers, to make sure they are policing without any bias, without any unnecessary force, that they are conducting themselves in the ways that are consistent with our progressive values in Oakland, that requires investment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While offering little in the way of specifics, Schaaf suggested the need to invest in more \"non-law enforcement methods of safety,\" akin to Breed's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is definitely room to create more responses that don't involve a gun or a badge,\" she said, noting a \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/7/1/20677523/mental-health-police-cahoots-oregon-oakland-sweden\">program in Eugene, Oregon\u003c/a> that dispatches mobile crisis response teams, not law enforcement, to handle about 20% of all 911 calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Oakland City Councilwoman Nikki Fortunato Bas is taking a tack more in-line with protesters' demands, proposing Oakland divert some of the $300 million it spends on its police department to other social services and crisis responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, Bas said $25 million of the police budget should fund trained mediators and social service programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In places like Oakland, where we've been under a negotiated settlement agreement to get to constitutional policing, and we have not achieved that in 17 years, I think the time for reform is over,” she said. “We have to rethink how we get to safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11823933 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43611_020_KQED_HalfMoonBay_OxMountainLandfill_05292020-qut-1020x679.jpg']And last week, the Oakland Unified School District \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823933/plans-to-scrap-school-police-backed-by-oakland-education-leaders\">got one step closer\u003c/a> to dismantling its internal police force after OUSD Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell announced her support for a proposal put forward by two school board members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am recommending that we move forward to create a district-wide safety plan to ensure safe, healthy and positive school environments for students and adults without a school district police department,\" Johnson-Trammell said during a virtual school board meeting. “Together, we can reimagine how to keep our schools safe, healthy and welcoming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists led by the group Black Organizing Project have been pushing to dissolve the OUSD police department since 2011, when a school district police sergeant \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/1-million-deal-in-shooting-by-Oakland-schools-cop-4872706.php\">shot and killed Raheim Brown\u003c/a>, a 20-year-old Black man, in the passenger seat of a car parked near Skyline High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the proposal argue the cash-strapped district should redirect its police budget to hire more school social workers, psychologists and restorative justice practitioners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an opportunity “to redefine community safety in our schools, to reinvest in our schools, to reinvest in our students and to be a model for this entire country of what is possible,” BOP director Jackie Byers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Jose\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>SJPD budget (2019-20): \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=58414\">$464.5 million\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSworn officers: 959\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters also recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/12/police-violence-protesters-gather-outside-san-jose-mayors-house/\">paid a visit\u003c/a> to San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo's house, similarly calling for him to defund the city's police department.

And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Officers said they tried to wake him up, shouting at him to take his hands off the gun and firing after he failed to comply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting was captured on multiple police body cameras — including at least one video showing the gun on the ground next to Pawlik.

Mr. Pawlik attempted to raise his head and sit up by using his right elbow for leverage,” police commissioners wrote in their 2019 report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the head of Oakland's police officers’ union ripped those findings, calling them “inexplicable” and an “injustice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These Police Officers responded to a citizen’s call for help concerning an armed suspect in their neighborhood,” Oakland Police Officers' Association President Barry Donelan \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11762228/oakland-police-commission-recommends-firing-five-officers-in-deadly-shooting\">wrote in a 2019 statement\u003c/a>. “The officers tried to defuse the situation but the armed suspect engaged our officers putting their lives and the lives of our residents in danger. The Police Commission ignored these facts and a multitude of investigations to reach a predetermined and unjust outcome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pawlik's family filed the lawsuit last year, arguing that the victim's civil rights had been violated. When announcing the suit, civil rights attorney John Burris, who represented the family, claimed that Pawlik “never got a chance to live” when he was shot by a “barrage of gunfire.” He described him as a man with some mental health issues, but no history of violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland City Councilman Noel Gallo told KTVU that he voted for the settlement after a consultant told the council that a jury award could cost the fiscally troubled city up to $5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was based on reporting by the Associated Press and KQED.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The records signal growing tensions between the Oakland Police Department and Warshaw, who has broad powers over the department and reports to a federal judge. Federal oversight has dragged on for 16 years as the department struggles to comply with a negotiated settlement agreement reached in 2003 stemming from the Riders police misconduct case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal court has also \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11729878/federal-judge-appoints-outside-attorney-to-examine-oakland-police-shooting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appointed\u003c/a> an independent attorney to advise Warshaw on the killing of Pawlik. In the records released Wednesday, Warshaw challenged the Oakland officers' decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was no information that Mr. Pawlik was an immediate threat to anyone or had harmed anyone at that point,\" he wrote. \"There were no citizens in immediate danger.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pawlik was lying unconscious between two North Oakland homes, with a gun nearby, when eight officers arrived and parked an armored vehicle on the street. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtzfbUQrWbE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Video footage\u003c/a> released by OPD shows Pawlik waking up; officers can be heard repeatedly telling him not to move and to keep his hands away from the gun. Four officers, who later told investigators that Pawlik raised his arm and aimed the gun at them, fired 22 shots, killing the mentally ill man. Pawlik's mother \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2019/02/06/he-never-got-a-chance-to-live-civil-rights-attorney-says-of-man-shot-by-oakland-police/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently filed\u003c/a> a federal wrongful death suit over the killing of her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPD said it plans to release additional records about the officers' actions in the shooting. But the documents released Wednesday already lay bare Warshaw's displeasure about internal affairs investigators failure to challenge officer statements he said were contradicted by video footage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I reject the chief’s principal conclusions in this matter,” Warshaw bluntly concluded in an internal letter dated Feb. 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his review of the shooting, Warshaw’s conclusions were at odds with Kirkpatrick’s. For instance, the chief exonerated Officer Craig Tanaka, one of the four officers who fired at Pawlik. Warshaw, however, recommended a Level 1 use of force violation — the highest there is — against Tanaka, two other officers and Sgt. Francisco Negrete. In Negrete’s case, Kirkpatrick downgraded discipline recommended by her own commanders, the Executive Force Review Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Chanin, an Oakland civil rights attorney involved in monitoring of the department, said late Wednesday that Kirkpatrick's decisions were troubling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Negrete \"was showing no leadership whatsoever\" at the scene, Chanin said. \"And the chief downgraded (his) discipline from even what the department’s own investigation recommended. The department does not seriously consider disciplining supervisors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for Kirkpatrick, Officer Johnna Watson, declined to comment Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents show Kirkpatrick downgraded other recommended discipline for some of the involved officers, writing in her own report that she disagreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The evidence does not contradict the officers’ statements that they fired only after perceiving a lethal threat, when Pawlik raised his arm and pointed the gun in their direction,” Kirkpatrick wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick also determined that Negrete showed “errors in judgment and action ... with the lives of both Mr. Pawlik and others at stake.” But, she wrote, he did not carelessly or recklessly disregard the safety of others, the standard required for the most serious level of discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Instead, there is evidence of his desire to resolve the situation without harm to anyone, including Mr. Pawlik,\" Kirkpatrick wrote about Negrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warshaw wrote that he agreed with the department's review board finding that Negrete's \"conduct constituted gross dereliction of duty.\" Negrete \"fired his own rifle even though he had designated two officers with rifles as primary cover officers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Negrete \"assumed the role of both team leader\" and the officer designated to handcuff Pawlik if he surrendered, Warshaw wrote. That \"divided his attention and did not allow him to effectively supervise the team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warshaw also wrote that two divisions of OPD that investigated the shooting ignored a key piece of evidence: body-camera footage from a sergeant “who had the foresight to place his camera on the armored vehicle,” allowing for an “unobstructed view.” Warshaw wrote that the video contradicted assertions made by officers, and he accused investigators of using leading questions to justify the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her review of the fatal shooting, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley concluded the evidence did not support criminal charges against the four officers who shot at Pawlik. Chanin questioned the timing of O’Malley's report, which was released on the same day as the Oakland Police Department released a portion of its records in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She supported the city down the line,” Chanin said. “It’s hard for me to believe that there wasn’t some orchestration involved here. I think that is a very sad development for the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is the first large Bay Area department to release records previously protected under old state law. In San Francisco, the police officers union is suing the city to block disclosure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose has released brief, summary information but is declining to provide anything further, citing state Attorney General Xavier Becerra's decision not to release disciplinary records about California Department of Justice agents until legal battles over the new law are resolved.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Four officers, who later told investigators that Pawlik raised his arm and aimed the gun at them, fired 22 shots, killing the mentally ill man. Pawlik's mother \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2019/02/06/he-never-got-a-chance-to-live-civil-rights-attorney-says-of-man-shot-by-oakland-police/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently filed\u003c/a> a federal wrongful death suit over the killing of her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPD said it plans to release additional records about the officers' actions in the shooting. But the documents released Wednesday already lay bare Warshaw's displeasure about internal affairs investigators failure to challenge officer statements he said were contradicted by video footage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I reject the chief’s principal conclusions in this matter,” Warshaw bluntly concluded in an internal letter dated Feb. 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his review of the shooting, Warshaw’s conclusions were at odds with Kirkpatrick’s. For instance, the chief exonerated Officer Craig Tanaka, one of the four officers who fired at Pawlik. Warshaw, however, recommended a Level 1 use of force violation — the highest there is — against Tanaka, two other officers and Sgt. Francisco Negrete. In Negrete’s case, Kirkpatrick downgraded discipline recommended by her own commanders, the Executive Force Review Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Chanin, an Oakland civil rights attorney involved in monitoring of the department, said late Wednesday that Kirkpatrick's decisions were troubling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Negrete \"was showing no leadership whatsoever\" at the scene, Chanin said. \"And the chief downgraded (his) discipline from even what the department’s own investigation recommended. The department does not seriously consider disciplining supervisors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for Kirkpatrick, Officer Johnna Watson, declined to comment Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents show Kirkpatrick downgraded other recommended discipline for some of the involved officers, writing in her own report that she disagreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The evidence does not contradict the officers’ statements that they fired only after perceiving a lethal threat, when Pawlik raised his arm and pointed the gun in their direction,” Kirkpatrick wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick also determined that Negrete showed “errors in judgment and action ... with the lives of both Mr. Pawlik and others at stake.” But, she wrote, he did not carelessly or recklessly disregard the safety of others, the standard required for the most serious level of discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Instead, there is evidence of his desire to resolve the situation without harm to anyone, including Mr. Pawlik,\" Kirkpatrick wrote about Negrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warshaw wrote that he agreed with the department's review board finding that Negrete's \"conduct constituted gross dereliction of duty.\" Negrete \"fired his own rifle even though he had designated two officers with rifles as primary cover officers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Negrete \"assumed the role of both team leader\" and the officer designated to handcuff Pawlik if he surrendered, Warshaw wrote. That \"divided his attention and did not allow him to effectively supervise the team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warshaw also wrote that two divisions of OPD that investigated the shooting ignored a key piece of evidence: body-camera footage from a sergeant “who had the foresight to place his camera on the armored vehicle,” allowing for an “unobstructed view.” Warshaw wrote that the video contradicted assertions made by officers, and he accused investigators of using leading questions to justify the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her review of the fatal shooting, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley concluded the evidence did not support criminal charges against the four officers who shot at Pawlik. Chanin questioned the timing of O’Malley's report, which was released on the same day as the Oakland Police Department released a portion of its records in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She supported the city down the line,” Chanin said. “It’s hard for me to believe that there wasn’t some orchestration involved here. I think that is a very sad development for the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is the first large Bay Area department to release records previously protected under old state law. In San Francisco, the police officers union is suing the city to block disclosure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose has released brief, summary information but is declining to provide anything further, citing state Attorney General Xavier Becerra's decision not to release disciplinary records about California Department of Justice agents until legal battles over the new law are resolved.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>For more than 15 years, Oakland's police department has been under federal oversight following a police abuse and racial profiling scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of a negotiated settlement in 2003, the city agreed to work toward sweeping police reforms. The Riders Settlement mandated ongoing monitoring of the department, including the collection of data on police stops and an end to discriminatory policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's mounting frustration that federal oversight and better data collection have not led to real change, despite a massive price tag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past few years, Stanford University researchers have helped the Oakland Police Department analyze the data collected from every police stop and arrest. Studies carried out by the \u003ca href=\"https://sparq.stanford.edu/opd-reports\">Stanford team show\u003c/a> that Oakland officers are still far more likely to stop, search and handcuff black people than white people during a traffic or pedestrian stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysis of bodycam footage also showed that, during traffic stops, officers spoke less respectfully to black motorists than whites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this, Oakland's police department says the studies have proved invaluable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of agencies collect data. But we have gone and worked with Stanford to say 'teach us how to ask the questions of that data, teach us how to think.' I want a change of how we think about policing. And when you think differently you're going to have culture change,\" says Oakland police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11253123/after-long-search-oakland-naming-new-police-chief\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">She was hired less than two years ago\u003c/a> in the wake of a different police scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what the police chief and the city's mayor had hoped would become a national model for a data-driven reduction in racially biased policing has become the latest flashpoint for Oakland's troubled department.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cli>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/201409190930/stanford-psychologist-wins-genius-grant-for-work-on-racial-bias\" target=\"_blank\">Stanford Psychologist Wins 'Genius' Grant for Work on Racial Bias\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Activist residents and some local politicians protested the recent renewal of the Stanford professor, Jennifer Eberhardt's $500,000 two-year contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't understand why she needs to come back and ask for more money,\" says Cathy Leonard, founder of Oakland Neighborhoods for Equity. \"Fifteen years and a lot of money. We could have housed people, we could fix our streets. It's a waste of money and a waste of resources.\" Leonard says the department seems in love with big data and stuck on a hamster wheel of collection and analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost of keeping the monitoring program ongoing is high. According to public records from the city of Oakland requested by the Coalition for Police Accountability, the annual cost of the monitoring program is estimated at $1.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leonard says the new system hasn't worked to reduce racially biased police stops — a key aspect of the federal settlement more than 15 years ago. \"Black people are being forced out of the city of Oakland due to gentrification and other matters. And yet the police are still stopping black men at exponential rates. The only thing that can be explained by is racism, pure and simple.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland City Councilwoman Desley Brooks also questions why the police chief needs an outside consultant to interpret data and help make policy. Brooks says neither the chief nor the professor has been able to move the needle on an issue they were hired to help fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reality is that if you are the one that is stopped when there is no reason for you to be stopped except for the color of your skin, that is unacceptable. You know that it takes away a part of your dignity,\" Brooks says. \"The mayor said it, the chief of police said it, Dr. Eberhardt has said it: Racial profiling is unacceptable. Then why haven't you came up with anything that addresses racial profiling?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The disparities with respect to African-Americans particularly has remained constant throughout all of Dr. Eberhardt's work,\" Brooks says, adding \"the reason that we got into this contract was to help us reduce the disparities. They have not. It's not that difficult to understand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick defends her department, saying the total number of people stopped by police has gone down. But she acknowledges that the percentage of African Americans stopped remains higher than the number of white people stopped. \"Right. So we're starting first with the 'footprint,'\" she says. \"We still know that it's disproportionate. And it is that disparity, that lack of equity, that is now the target.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick says the department has also reduced officer use of force and traffic stops for minor mechanical problems. The chief says the data collected so far helped her pivot when it revealed that pulling people over for things like a broken taillight was shown to be racially biased and provocative. Kirkpatrick has ordered a change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have said in the police department [and] we're saying culturally we don't value that kind of stop. So we've told the officers we want to reduce that because we also know that the more people you stop for mechanical problems, we end up stopping more people of color.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She cautions that data-driven change takes time. But with so much money spent and so little to show for it, the Oakland community may not share her patience. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

According to public records from the city of Oakland requested by the Coalition for Police Accountability, the annual cost of the monitoring program is estimated at $1.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leonard says the new system hasn't worked to reduce racially biased police stops — a key aspect of the federal settlement more than 15 years ago. \"Black people are being forced out of the city of Oakland due to gentrification and other matters. And yet the police are still stopping black men at exponential rates. The only thing that can be explained by is racism, pure and simple.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland City Councilwoman Desley Brooks also questions why the police chief needs an outside consultant to interpret data and help make policy. Brooks says neither the chief nor the professor has been able to move the needle on an issue they were hired to help fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reality is that if you are the one that is stopped when there is no reason for you to be stopped except for the color of your skin, that is unacceptable. You know that it takes away a part of your dignity,\" Brooks says. \"The mayor said it, the chief of police said it, Dr. Eberhardt has said it: Racial profiling is unacceptable. Then why haven't you came up with anything that addresses racial profiling?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The disparities with respect to African-Americans particularly has remained constant throughout all of Dr. Eberhardt's work,\" Brooks says, adding \"the reason that we got into this contract was to help us reduce the disparities. They have not. It's not that difficult to understand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick defends her department, saying the total number of people stopped by police has gone down. But she acknowledges that the percentage of African Americans stopped remains higher than the number of white people stopped. \"Right. So we're starting first with the 'footprint,'\" she says. \"We still know that it's disproportionate. And it is that disparity, that lack of equity, that is now the target.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick says the department has also reduced officer use of force and traffic stops for minor mechanical problems. The chief says the data collected so far helped her pivot when it revealed that pulling people over for things like a broken taillight was shown to be racially biased and provocative. Kirkpatrick has ordered a change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have said in the police department [and] we're saying culturally we don't value that kind of stop. So we've told the officers we want to reduce that because we also know that the more people you stop for mechanical problems, we end up stopping more people of color.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She cautions that data-driven change takes time. But with so much money spent and so little to show for it, the Oakland community may not share her patience. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
