She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"content": "\u003cp>Cops have a lot of pull in the California Capitol, and over the decades, that’s added up to this startling reality: The Golden State now goes further than many states in terms of protecting police from public scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a stark contrast to the state’s “left coast” image. On abortion rights, gun control and climate change, California has embraced some of the most liberal policies in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even with a statehouse controlled entirely by Democrats, California laws are friendlier to law enforcement—and less transparent to the public—than those in Wisconsin and Florida, states with Republican governors and legislatures. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One explanation is that politicians from both parties seek police endorsements to help them sway voters. Polling from last year showed that \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/survey/S_317MBS.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">two-thirds of Californians\u003c/a> think their local police are doing a good job controlling crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another is that labor unions representing officers donate generously to elect officials at every level of government. Three major statewide law enforcement groups—the Peace Officers Research Association of California, the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association and the California Correctional Peace Officers Association—together poured $5.7 million into California political campaigns in the last election cycle, including giving $475,000 to the California Democratic Party and $168,500 to the California Republican Party.

Activists with the Black Lives Matter movement say legislation now proposed in California is “many years behind” and that Democrats in the Legislature have not been responsive to black communities on police issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens is that the police unions, the police lobbyists come out in full force and then legislators who are afraid of their campaign coffers being interrupted side with law enforcement,” said Cat Brooks, founder of the Anti Police-Terror Project based in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police unions see it differently: Reactionary legislators propose un-workable bills, and then law enforcement helps them understand why the bills are bad ideas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have been fortunate to have common sense prevail at the end, as opposed to the stuff that’s proposed at the beginning,” said Tom Saggau, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Protective League, a labor union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to making campaign contributions, police are like most interest groups that work to influence public policy, said Brian Marvel, president of Peace Officers Research Association of California, an advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s politics in America,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the money helps, Marvel said, it is not the only reason police have influence in Sacramento: “Public safety resonates across both sides. People want to be safe in their home, people want to be safe to walk down the street, people respect law enforcement.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are three ways in which California law protects police more than some states do—and one proposed law that would give it the nation’s toughest standard to justify police using deadly force: \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>California keeps police misconduct records secret\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In most states, the public has at least some access to records that detail misconduct by police officers. Not so in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden State is among 23 states that do not make discipline of police officers available through a public records request—and one of just three states with laws specifically making police personnel records confidential, according to an investigation by New York public radio WNYC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"665\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11661934\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records-160x193.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records-240x290.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records-375x453.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records-520x629.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secrecy—which dates back to a law Gov. Jerry Brown signed in 1978—makes it nearly impossible for Californians to know if the police who patrol their streets have ever been disciplined for excessive use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Law enforcement is the only public employee group for which we have no access to the records—every other employment category you pretty much have full access under the Public Records Act,” said state Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Berkeley Democrat. “Good policing requires community trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1421\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Senate Bill 1421\u003c/a> would make officers’ records public in three situations: when they fire a gun or use force resulting in serious injury or death; when they’ve engaged in sexual assault on the job; or when they’ve been dishonest in investigating a crime, such as by filing false reports or concealing evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar legislation \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-essential-politics-california-police-misconduct-r-1464384312-htmlstory.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">failed\u003c/a> in 2016, facing stiff opposition from law enforcement groups who argued that it amounted to an invasion of privacy. It’s too soon to say if Skinner’s bill will meet the same fate, but at least one police group says it’s working to find common ground with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are trying to find how we can release some information once it’s gone through its administrative process or the courts,” said Marvel, a San Diego police officer who is president of the Peace Officers Research Association. “I think we can agree on a system of transparency that allows the community to have faith in their police department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other law enforcement groups say there’s no need to open up personnel records. Gary Ingemunson, an attorney for the LA police union, called Skinner’s proposal “a can of worms.” He said existing procedures—through the courts and citizen review boards—provide sufficient accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why are we opening it up? So the newspapers can have a field day?” Ingemunson said. “What’s really important is that the people who need to know have a way to find out... It’s already as open as it needs to be, in our view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>California lets local law enforcement police themselves\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When police kill, it’s generally up to the local district attorney’s office to determine if it’s a crime. But sometimes they rely on investigations conducted by the cop’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/31/ties-that-bind-conflicts-of-interest-police-killings\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">own department\u003c/a>, and research has shown that prosecutors \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/police-rarely-criminally-charged-for-on-duty-shootings-1416874955\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rarely file\u003c/a> criminal charges against officers involved in on-the-job shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say that’s because the vast majority of their shootings are legally justified, done only when officers perceive an imminent threat. Critics say it’s because cops and prosecutors, who work together closely and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article207924559.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">spend money\u003c/a> to help each other win elections, are too cozy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four other states require that a state agency—instead of local prosecutors—conduct the investigation when police conduct results in death. Wisconsin passed such a law in 2014 after a man whose son was killed by police used a $1.75 million settlement \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/12/13/370592433/in-wisconsin-a-decade-old-police-shooting-leads-to-new-law\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to lobby for the change\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"665\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11661935\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings-160x193.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings-240x290.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings-375x453.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings-520x629.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, lawmakers have rejected the idea twice. But Sacramento Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty—spurred on by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article206963509.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent announcement\u003c/a> that Sacramento police asked the state Attorney General to investigate the death of Stephon Clark—plans to re-introduce a bill requiring the state Justice Department to investigate deaths and serious injury caused by police. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It raises a bigger question: why not for all the shootings?” McCarty said. “Having an independent third-party law enforcement agency come and do the investigation can bring about more transparency and more trust in the process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarty points to \u003ca href=\"https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/At-Arms-Length-Oct-2016.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a report by the Stanford Criminal Justice Center\u003c/a> that describes the Wisconsin law as a model California should follow. But Tanya Faison, a leader of Black Lives Matter in Sacramento, said such a change is far short of a panacea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be oversight boards that reflect our community that do the investigations when police officers kill people,” Faison said. “This would move the needle in the right direction but there is more work to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police opposed McCarty’s bill last year, saying people who mistrust local law enforcement are unlikely to have more confidence in state-level authorities. And they challenge the assumption that investigators can’t set aside their personal relationships to conduct a fair inquiry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What McCarty is saying is that these officers are unprofessional and can’t do their job,” said Marvel. “I don’t buy into that premise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra chimed in with support only after last year’s bill was watered down to a study. Lawmakers then killed it in the Senate Appropriations Committee, where bills can \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/capitol-suspense-california-bills-vanish-almost-without-trace/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">die without a public vote\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked this month if he would support McCarty’s effort this year, Becerra was noncommittal. “What you want to make sure is that you have an investigation that withstands the test of transparency, scrutiny, and accountability. That can be accomplished in any number of ways,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Establishing a unit in the state Department of Justice to investigate police shootings would cost between $8.5 million and $10 million a year, according to \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB284\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an analysis\u003c/a> of prior legislation. McCarty said he’s exploring whether his proposal can be inserted into this year’s state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>California has no power to revoke a cop’s certification \u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State law says that anyone convicted of a felony cannot serve in law enforcement. Beyond that though, California’s system for getting rid of bad cops is highly decentralized. The state has more than 600 law enforcement agencies, and each one can decide if (short of a felony conviction) an officer’s misconduct is a firing offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the opposite of how most of the country regulates police, according to research by Roger Goldman, retired professor at the Saint Louis University School of Law. He said that 45 states have a centralized system for revoking an officer’s professional certification—and most of them do it for less than a felony conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“States like Georgia, Florida and North Carolina are decertifying cops hand over fist, and California is decertifying nobody, other than if convicted of a felony,” Goldman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"701\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11661936\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification-160x204.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification-240x306.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification-375x478.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification-520x663.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t always like this. California used to allow its law enforcement regulatory agency—known as the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training—to yank a cop’s certification. But in 2003, police unions lobbied the Legislature to take away that power, and Gov. Gray Davis signed the bill a month before he was recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other states with a decentralized system like California’s are Hawaii, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Goldman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do they have in common? Very blue. Very strong police unions. The (California) Legislature is obviously scared to death of taking on the police unions,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Goldman contends the lack of such a system makes it easier for bad cops in California to bounce from one department to another, state officials disagree. They argue that police departments here can do a background check on anyone they’re considering hiring and find out if they’ve been fired for misconduct. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just because California doesn’t have a process per se like other states (to) rescind or cancel a certificate or license, doesn’t mean California takes that lightly,” said Dave Althausen, spokesman for the state regulatory agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has a database that tracks every sworn officer in the state, he said, including when they were hired by a department and under what circumstances they left. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they are convicted of a felony, the law says the agency must note in their file that they are “ineligible to be a peace officer in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Althausen acknowledged, there’s no requirement that agencies check the database when hiring a new officer. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>And yet: California is considering the nation’s toughest standard for use of deadly force\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 1989, the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/490/386.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ruled\u003c/a> that police use of force is justified whenever a “reasonable officer” in the same circumstance would do the same, setting the legal standard now used in every state. It’s one reason so few cops are convicted of crimes when they kill—jurors must consider whether a reasonable officer perceiving the same threat would make the same split-second decision. If so, the killing is legally justified. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers will consider a bill this year that would make California the only state in the nation to set a different standard, one supporters believe will make it easier to hold police accountable. Under AB 931 police could only use deadly force when “necessary” to prevent injury or death in the context of the officer’s entire encounter with a suspect—not just the moment before firing his gun. Killing would only be legally justified if other tactics, such as warnings or de-escalation, were not possible instead. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/jpeTtfceEBA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not saying that law enforcement officers can never use deadly force,” said Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a San Diego Democrat carrying the bill with McCarty. “Deadly force can be used, but only when it is completely necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union, which is backing the bill, say the Supreme Court standard sets a minimum level of protection for civilians confronted by police, and that states can choose to set a higher bar. But Ingemunson, the lawyer for the LA police union questioned that, saying the proposed standard may violate officers’ rights under federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The theory would be that an officer also has rights, and one might be to be judged by the federal standard, not some state standard,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police are frustrated that the bill language has not yet been made public, and say it’s hypocritical of the ACLU to criticize law enforcement for a lack of transparency while working with legislators behind the scenes to draft a bill that would impact their profession. They also warn that the “necessary” standard might discourage police from going into dangerous situations where their help is needed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be a colossal hindrance to law enforcement in this state,” said Marvel. “It would take away our ability to react efficiently and effectively. Officers will be thinking, ‘Should I really be doing this? Should I run away?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though no other states have a standard like the one California is considering, some police departments have a standard higher than the one set by the Supreme Court in their internal policies. Seth Stoughton, an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law, researched use-of-force policies in the nation’s 50 largest police departments for a paper published last year. He concluded that Los Angeles has nothing in its policy describing a continuum of the types of force that should be deployed, while Seattle has the most detailed policy, stating, in part, that officers must “use only the force necessary to perform their duties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Supreme Court case law sets a (low) floor, but not a ceiling on how agencies handle use of force internally,” Stoughton wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin Zimring, a professor at UC Berkeley’s law school, said the California Legislature could best impact police behavior by increasing the amount of civil damages victims may seek in lawsuits over deadly force. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The major force in controlling, or failing to control, police use of force is the police chief,” Zimring said. “What state law can do is...make excessive use of deadly force expensive enough to motivate police chiefs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Activists with the Black Lives Matter movement say legislation now proposed in California is “many years behind” and that Democrats in the Legislature have not been responsive to black communities on police issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens is that the police unions, the police lobbyists come out in full force and then legislators who are afraid of their campaign coffers being interrupted side with law enforcement,” said Cat Brooks, founder of the Anti Police-Terror Project based in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police unions see it differently: Reactionary legislators propose un-workable bills, and then law enforcement helps them understand why the bills are bad ideas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have been fortunate to have common sense prevail at the end, as opposed to the stuff that’s proposed at the beginning,” said Tom Saggau, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Protective League, a labor union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to making campaign contributions, police are like most interest groups that work to influence public policy, said Brian Marvel, president of Peace Officers Research Association of California, an advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s politics in America,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the money helps, Marvel said, it is not the only reason police have influence in Sacramento: “Public safety resonates across both sides. People want to be safe in their home, people want to be safe to walk down the street, people respect law enforcement.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are three ways in which California law protects police more than some states do—and one proposed law that would give it the nation’s toughest standard to justify police using deadly force: \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>California keeps police misconduct records secret\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In most states, the public has at least some access to records that detail misconduct by police officers. Not so in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden State is among 23 states that do not make discipline of police officers available through a public records request—and one of just three states with laws specifically making police personnel records confidential, according to an investigation by New York public radio WNYC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"665\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11661934\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records-160x193.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records-240x290.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records-375x453.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/27-states-give-the-public-at-least-some-access-to-police-discipline-records-520x629.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secrecy—which dates back to a law Gov. Jerry Brown signed in 1978—makes it nearly impossible for Californians to know if the police who patrol their streets have ever been disciplined for excessive use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Law enforcement is the only public employee group for which we have no access to the records—every other employment category you pretty much have full access under the Public Records Act,” said state Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Berkeley Democrat. “Good policing requires community trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1421\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Senate Bill 1421\u003c/a> would make officers’ records public in three situations: when they fire a gun or use force resulting in serious injury or death; when they’ve engaged in sexual assault on the job; or when they’ve been dishonest in investigating a crime, such as by filing false reports or concealing evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar legislation \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-essential-politics-california-police-misconduct-r-1464384312-htmlstory.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">failed\u003c/a> in 2016, facing stiff opposition from law enforcement groups who argued that it amounted to an invasion of privacy. It’s too soon to say if Skinner’s bill will meet the same fate, but at least one police group says it’s working to find common ground with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are trying to find how we can release some information once it’s gone through its administrative process or the courts,” said Marvel, a San Diego police officer who is president of the Peace Officers Research Association. “I think we can agree on a system of transparency that allows the community to have faith in their police department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other law enforcement groups say there’s no need to open up personnel records. Gary Ingemunson, an attorney for the LA police union, called Skinner’s proposal “a can of worms.” He said existing procedures—through the courts and citizen review boards—provide sufficient accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why are we opening it up? So the newspapers can have a field day?” Ingemunson said. “What’s really important is that the people who need to know have a way to find out... It’s already as open as it needs to be, in our view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>California lets local law enforcement police themselves\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When police kill, it’s generally up to the local district attorney’s office to determine if it’s a crime. But sometimes they rely on investigations conducted by the cop’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/31/ties-that-bind-conflicts-of-interest-police-killings\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">own department\u003c/a>, and research has shown that prosecutors \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/police-rarely-criminally-charged-for-on-duty-shootings-1416874955\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rarely file\u003c/a> criminal charges against officers involved in on-the-job shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say that’s because the vast majority of their shootings are legally justified, done only when officers perceive an imminent threat. Critics say it’s because cops and prosecutors, who work together closely and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article207924559.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">spend money\u003c/a> to help each other win elections, are too cozy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four other states require that a state agency—instead of local prosecutors—conduct the investigation when police conduct results in death. Wisconsin passed such a law in 2014 after a man whose son was killed by police used a $1.75 million settlement \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/12/13/370592433/in-wisconsin-a-decade-old-police-shooting-leads-to-new-law\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to lobby for the change\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"665\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11661935\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings-160x193.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings-240x290.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings-375x453.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/4-states-require-a-state-agency-to-investigate-police-shootings-520x629.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, lawmakers have rejected the idea twice. But Sacramento Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty—spurred on by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article206963509.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent announcement\u003c/a> that Sacramento police asked the state Attorney General to investigate the death of Stephon Clark—plans to re-introduce a bill requiring the state Justice Department to investigate deaths and serious injury caused by police. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It raises a bigger question: why not for all the shootings?” McCarty said. “Having an independent third-party law enforcement agency come and do the investigation can bring about more transparency and more trust in the process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarty points to \u003ca href=\"https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/At-Arms-Length-Oct-2016.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a report by the Stanford Criminal Justice Center\u003c/a> that describes the Wisconsin law as a model California should follow. But Tanya Faison, a leader of Black Lives Matter in Sacramento, said such a change is far short of a panacea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be oversight boards that reflect our community that do the investigations when police officers kill people,” Faison said. “This would move the needle in the right direction but there is more work to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police opposed McCarty’s bill last year, saying people who mistrust local law enforcement are unlikely to have more confidence in state-level authorities. And they challenge the assumption that investigators can’t set aside their personal relationships to conduct a fair inquiry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What McCarty is saying is that these officers are unprofessional and can’t do their job,” said Marvel. “I don’t buy into that premise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra chimed in with support only after last year’s bill was watered down to a study. Lawmakers then killed it in the Senate Appropriations Committee, where bills can \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/capitol-suspense-california-bills-vanish-almost-without-trace/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">die without a public vote\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked this month if he would support McCarty’s effort this year, Becerra was noncommittal. “What you want to make sure is that you have an investigation that withstands the test of transparency, scrutiny, and accountability. That can be accomplished in any number of ways,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Establishing a unit in the state Department of Justice to investigate police shootings would cost between $8.5 million and $10 million a year, according to \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB284\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an analysis\u003c/a> of prior legislation. McCarty said he’s exploring whether his proposal can be inserted into this year’s state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>California has no power to revoke a cop’s certification \u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State law says that anyone convicted of a felony cannot serve in law enforcement. Beyond that though, California’s system for getting rid of bad cops is highly decentralized. The state has more than 600 law enforcement agencies, and each one can decide if (short of a felony conviction) an officer’s misconduct is a firing offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the opposite of how most of the country regulates police, according to research by Roger Goldman, retired professor at the Saint Louis University School of Law. He said that 45 states have a centralized system for revoking an officer’s professional certification—and most of them do it for less than a felony conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“States like Georgia, Florida and North Carolina are decertifying cops hand over fist, and California is decertifying nobody, other than if convicted of a felony,” Goldman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"701\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11661936\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification-160x204.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification-240x306.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification-375x478.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/45-states-have-the-power-to-revoke-a-police-officers-certification-520x663.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t always like this. California used to allow its law enforcement regulatory agency—known as the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training—to yank a cop’s certification. But in 2003, police unions lobbied the Legislature to take away that power, and Gov. Gray Davis signed the bill a month before he was recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other states with a decentralized system like California’s are Hawaii, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Goldman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do they have in common? Very blue. Very strong police unions. The (California) Legislature is obviously scared to death of taking on the police unions,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Goldman contends the lack of such a system makes it easier for bad cops in California to bounce from one department to another, state officials disagree. They argue that police departments here can do a background check on anyone they’re considering hiring and find out if they’ve been fired for misconduct. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just because California doesn’t have a process per se like other states (to) rescind or cancel a certificate or license, doesn’t mean California takes that lightly,” said Dave Althausen, spokesman for the state regulatory agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has a database that tracks every sworn officer in the state, he said, including when they were hired by a department and under what circumstances they left. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they are convicted of a felony, the law says the agency must note in their file that they are “ineligible to be a peace officer in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Althausen acknowledged, there’s no requirement that agencies check the database when hiring a new officer. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>And yet: California is considering the nation’s toughest standard for use of deadly force\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 1989, the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/490/386.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ruled\u003c/a> that police use of force is justified whenever a “reasonable officer” in the same circumstance would do the same, setting the legal standard now used in every state. It’s one reason so few cops are convicted of crimes when they kill—jurors must consider whether a reasonable officer perceiving the same threat would make the same split-second decision. If so, the killing is legally justified. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers will consider a bill this year that would make California the only state in the nation to set a different standard, one supporters believe will make it easier to hold police accountable. Under AB 931 police could only use deadly force when “necessary” to prevent injury or death in the context of the officer’s entire encounter with a suspect—not just the moment before firing his gun. Killing would only be legally justified if other tactics, such as warnings or de-escalation, were not possible instead. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/jpeTtfceEBA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/jpeTtfceEBA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“We’re not saying that law enforcement officers can never use deadly force,” said Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a San Diego Democrat carrying the bill with McCarty. “Deadly force can be used, but only when it is completely necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union, which is backing the bill, say the Supreme Court standard sets a minimum level of protection for civilians confronted by police, and that states can choose to set a higher bar. But Ingemunson, the lawyer for the LA police union questioned that, saying the proposed standard may violate officers’ rights under federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The theory would be that an officer also has rights, and one might be to be judged by the federal standard, not some state standard,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police are frustrated that the bill language has not yet been made public, and say it’s hypocritical of the ACLU to criticize law enforcement for a lack of transparency while working with legislators behind the scenes to draft a bill that would impact their profession. They also warn that the “necessary” standard might discourage police from going into dangerous situations where their help is needed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be a colossal hindrance to law enforcement in this state,” said Marvel. “It would take away our ability to react efficiently and effectively. Officers will be thinking, ‘Should I really be doing this? Should I run away?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though no other states have a standard like the one California is considering, some police departments have a standard higher than the one set by the Supreme Court in their internal policies. Seth Stoughton, an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law, researched use-of-force policies in the nation’s 50 largest police departments for a paper published last year. He concluded that Los Angeles has nothing in its policy describing a continuum of the types of force that should be deployed, while Seattle has the most detailed policy, stating, in part, that officers must “use only the force necessary to perform their duties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Supreme Court case law sets a (low) floor, but not a ceiling on how agencies handle use of force internally,” Stoughton wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin Zimring, a professor at UC Berkeley’s law school, said the California Legislature could best impact police behavior by increasing the amount of civil damages victims may seek in lawsuits over deadly force. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The major force in controlling, or failing to control, police use of force is the police chief,” Zimring said. “What state law can do is...make excessive use of deadly force expensive enough to motivate police chiefs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Sanctuary cities and states are not immune from federal law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamid Yazdan Panah, an attorney with the Northern California Rapid Response Network and the San Francisco Bar Association, said hotlines organized by immigration activists across the Bay Area have seen a spike in calls from worried immigrants and advocates wanting to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, Schaaf elaborated on her decision to warn immigrant communities about the possibly pending actions, but didn't provide details about how she found out about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor said she got the information from “multiple credible sources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LibbySchaaf/status/967621285890191361\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My information did not come through official channels. It came from multiple sources that cited extremely credible sources for their information. They do not wish to be shared,\" she told reporters at a Sunday press conference at the Unity Council in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf encouraged residents to consult local resources such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.centrolegal.org/acilep/\">Centro Legal de la Raza\u003c/a> in Oakland to understand their legal rights in case they are detained or know someone who needs legal representation. She said that no one has to open the door to ICE officers unless they have a particular kind of warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland police officers are under \"strict orders\" not to cooperate with ICE activities, she added.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"dlVwAUJ14u7LDJfe28Nke5PvKCmh3VHj\"]\u003cbr>\n\"Spreading rumors of ICE activity has been used as a tactic to strike fear and paralysis in the immigrant communities,\" Schaaf said on Sunday. \"This is something I thought about very carefully before bringing this information forward, but due to the reliability of my sources and the fact that I received this from multiple sources, I felt that it was my duty to share the information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RaquelMDillon/status/967862382956441600\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates say a year of active organizing means that the phone networks, interpreters and legal resources are in place to help people when they can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malena Mayorga, an organizer with Mujers Unidas y Activas and the coordinator for the Alameda County Immigration Legal and Education Partnership, said the message to undocumented immigrants is to empower themselves by knowing their rights, and don't panic. Immigrant activists advise families to refuse to answer questions from ICE agents, understand when they don't have to open the door, make plans about where to send children, how to communicate, who to notify and how to get help in case a family member is apprehended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf said she consulted with lawyers before issuing her statement.

Children’s librarian Mahasin Abuwi Aleem reads to a couple dozen kids.

Is there any mention that in the United States people are innocent until proven guilty? If there are cops in the story, are they wearing body cameras?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'The Talk'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleem uses books to help introduce law enforcement to her own three kids, now aged 3, 8 and 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In books, they were mostly depicted as community helpers,\" says Aleem. \"And as [my kids] have gotten older and been more aware of current events, we’ve talked more and more about how, just like in every field, there are people who are thoughtful and conscious and want to do the right thing. And there are people on the police force who may not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due in part to the \u003ca href=\"https://blacklivesmatter.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a> movement, those are conversations that lots of parents are having these days — and have long been a part of child rearing for African-American families like Aleem’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help guide those difficult discussions, Oakland librarians have created \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rytbtFbHtH6UYRLzUQDf3h4gJ6noSPIAxhHJsfo-QTw/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a toolkit\u003c/a> for evaluating children’s books that feature police. It's a publicly available document to help librarians and other educators examine whether a book accurately reflects how the law really works or reflects the full range of children’s realities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem we have with police books right now is there really isn’t much that represents that fearful side,” explains Amy Martin, the Oakland Public Library's children’s collection management librarian. Martin spearheaded the creation of the toolkit. She takes out a picture book called \"I’m Afraid Your Teddy Is In Trouble Today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book opens with two police officers confronting the reader at their front door, telling them their teddy bear had a wild party and trashed the house, and now is in big trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recognizing Fears, Explaining Rights\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a child who’s come home to a parent being arrested, that could be a really, really frightening image,” Martin says. So it may not be the best thing to read to that kid. Martin fully breaks down some problems with the book on a blog called \u003ca href=\"http://readingwhilewhite.blogspot.com/2018/01/rethinking-books-about-police-putting_8.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reading While White\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The toolkit doesn’t review specific books. Instead, it provides questions, like: Does this book explain children’s rights to have a parent or other adult present during questioning? Does it imply that children will always be safe if they follow officers' instructions? Does the book make a distinction between prison and jail?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11650920\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11650920 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland Public Library's children’s collection management librarian Amy Martin\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Everyone’s innocent until proven guilty, and in almost every children’s book I’ve looked at that involves police, there’s language right from the start about guilt,\" says Martin. \"Like they will call them 'bad guys'; some books will call them 'criminals.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin got supportive feedback from an Oakland police lieutenant and other groups before publishing the guide, which is being used throughout Oakland’s library system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ellie Grimmer, who came to story time at the library, says she’s grateful for guidance about how to talk with her two kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There have been times where we’ve read stories and afterwards, when the kids are away, my husband and I are like 'Well, that’s kind of true, about police, but sometimes it’s not,'\" says Grimmer. \"It depends on what you look like and where you’re from. ...

Is there any mention that in the United States people are innocent until proven guilty? If there are cops in the story, are they wearing body cameras?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And there are people on the police force who may not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due in part to the \u003ca href=\"https://blacklivesmatter.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a> movement, those are conversations that lots of parents are having these days — and have long been a part of child rearing for African-American families like Aleem’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help guide those difficult discussions, Oakland librarians have created \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rytbtFbHtH6UYRLzUQDf3h4gJ6noSPIAxhHJsfo-QTw/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a toolkit\u003c/a> for evaluating children’s books that feature police. It's a publicly available document to help librarians and other educators examine whether a book accurately reflects how the law really works or reflects the full range of children’s realities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem we have with police books right now is there really isn’t much that represents that fearful side,” explains Amy Martin, the Oakland Public Library's children’s collection management librarian. Martin spearheaded the creation of the toolkit. She takes out a picture book called \"I’m Afraid Your Teddy Is In Trouble Today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book opens with two police officers confronting the reader at their front door, telling them their teddy bear had a wild party and trashed the house, and now is in big trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recognizing Fears, Explaining Rights\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a child who’s come home to a parent being arrested, that could be a really, really frightening image,” Martin says. So it may not be the best thing to read to that kid. Martin fully breaks down some problems with the book on a blog called \u003ca href=\"http://readingwhilewhite.blogspot.com/2018/01/rethinking-books-about-police-putting_8.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reading While White\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The toolkit doesn’t review specific books. Instead, it provides questions, like: Does this book explain children’s rights to have a parent or other adult present during questioning? Does it imply that children will always be safe if they follow officers' instructions? Does the book make a distinction between prison and jail?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11650920\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11650920 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Amy-Martin-2-books-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland Public Library's children’s collection management librarian Amy Martin\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Everyone’s innocent until proven guilty, and in almost every children’s book I’ve looked at that involves police, there’s language right from the start about guilt,\" says Martin. \"Like they will call them 'bad guys'; some books will call them 'criminals.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin got supportive feedback from an Oakland police lieutenant and other groups before publishing the guide, which is being used throughout Oakland’s library system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ellie Grimmer, who came to story time at the library, says she’s grateful for guidance about how to talk with her two kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There have been times where we’ve read stories and afterwards, when the kids are away, my husband and I are like 'Well, that’s kind of true, about police, but sometimes it’s not,'\" says Grimmer. \"It depends on what you look like and where you’re from. ...

Coogler's ties to Oakland have informed his work. His breakthrough first movie, \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/12/movies/fruitvale-station-is-based-on-the-story-of-oscar-grant-iii.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fruitvale Station\u003c/a>,\" was about the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, a young unarmed black man from \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/09/us/09verdict.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland who was killed by a BART police officer in 2009\u003c/a>. Grant lay restrained and face down on a crowded BART platform when he was shot in the back. That was before Trayvon Martin, before Michael Brown, before Black Lives Matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shawn Taylor said it was serendipity that Black Panther was the name given to both a black Marvel superhero and a movement for black liberation in the same year. It was not a connection that Marvel wanted, Taylor said. They even tried to change the name “because they didn’t want to be associated with the Black Panther Party.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/peterhartlaub/status/964390926071181314\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the options tried out included Black Jaguar and Coal Tiger, and even dropping the “black” from Black Panther. But none of it worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor says it was just too cool of a name. “I mean, ideas are bigger than us,\" Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of the Black Panther grew over time. In comic books and graphic novels a character is not just created by its originator. The universe is explored and populated by other writers. The Black Panther comic, and the Black Panther universe, was written over decades, by \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/5-black-panther-comics-to-read-before-you-see-the-movie.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">generations of comic book writers\u003c/a> such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/christopher-priest-made-black-panther-cool-then-disappeared.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christopher Priest\u003c/a>, and more recently by \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2016/06/wakanda-and-the-black-aesthetic/489290/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ta-Nehisi Coates\u003c/a> and Roxane Gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These writers expanded on the mythic world that T'Challa -- the Black Panther -- came from and protected, the imagined African country of Wakanda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a country in Africa that has never been conquered by any European powers or anyone else,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wakanda, Taylor said, “is the most technologically advanced country in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11650622\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 503px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11650622\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"503\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton.jpg 503w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton-160x200.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton-240x301.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton-375x470.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Panther Party founders Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wakanda is not post-colonial or pre-colonial. It exists in a timeline where colonization \u003cem>never\u003c/em> happened. It is an African country in which people were never raped, murdered and kidnapped, never stacked on top of each other on ships that took them to death and slavery and struggle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colonization not only shapes the stories of black Americans, but also the narratives of African countries -- countries where colonizers staged proxy wars and propped up dictatorships so they could continue to harvest rich natural resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the world of Wakanda black people are free to create, to innovate, to determine their own destiny. In that imagined space, they create technology beyond our wildest dreams. The metal that makes Captain America’s shield, vibranium, comes from Wakanda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Marvel universe, Captain America represents America’s greatness. It seems fitting that his primary weapon, his shield, comes from the natural resources of an (imagined) African country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is a pretty apt metaphor for colonial power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Wakanda, the comics created a place where black people rule themselves. Historically, self-rule is a radical concept for people of color in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us back to the Black Panther Party, because self-rule is a concept for which they advocated and fought. That fight started in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is archival tape of Huey Newton, when he was leader of the Black Panther Party, just after he was arrested, talking to the press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the police were to withdraw from the community,” Newton said, “and the black community control its own police institution as well as all the other institutions within our community -- we feel that law and order would exist.” Peace too, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What he was asking for was a Wakanda, a space in which black people can rule themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Imagination Is Revolutionary \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This idea of black heroes, this idea of a black liberation army, an army of warriors ready to fight, this is both literal and figurative,” Malkia Cyril said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/19/lessons-from-growing-up-as-a-black-panther-cub/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cyril grew up in the Black Panther Party\u003c/a>. “I am the daughter of a Black Panther, a \u003cem>real\u003c/em> Black Panther.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cyril is also the founder of the \u003ca href=\"http://centerformediajustice.org/\">Center for Media Justice\u003c/a>, so Cyril knows just how much representation matters, and not just representation, but empowered representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the heart of Afrofuturism,” Cyril said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quick history lesson: \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/dec/07/afrofuturism-black-identity-future-science-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Afrofuturism\u003c/a> was coined in 1993 by the journalist Mark Dery -- a white guy -- to define the artistic movement where images of ancient Africa intersect with the future and the fantastic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s also digging into the past, bringing it forward, imaging the impossible,” Cyril said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afrofuturism was, in part, born out of a question, said Shawn Taylor: Why weren’t more African-Americans represented in science fiction?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Black existence in America is science fiction,” Taylor said. “Aliens came to your land, abducted you, stole your god, stole your music, stole your language, and dropped you off into an alien land with new flora, new fauna -- new everything. So black experience is science fiction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Black existence in America is science fiction. Aliens came to your land, abducted you, stole your god, stole your music, stole your language, and dropped you off into an alien land with new flora, new fauna -- new everything.

The idea is to conjure and interrogate the world purely from one's own perspective. Historically, most mainstream movies about the African-American experience, he said, are about slavery and trauma, about the wounds of the past. There is a power in imagining yourself outside of that, Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see what an Arab-American story is without white supremacy involved, without having to be labeled a terrorist. I want to see that story,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see a woman’s story not having to contend with misogyny,\" Taylor said. \"I want to see a queer story not having to contend with homophobia, when you do these kind of cultural speculations, you get such beautiful and rich stories without always having to have double consciousness involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the power to speculate about a world without white supremacy makes that world, that self, feel possible. And that creates not a retreat, but a way forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor admits that people still have to contend with reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the technologically superior Wakanda, “technology elevates everybody,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor knows that does not carry over to the world we live in. “Oakland is kind of like the anti-Wakanda,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is because technology here is fueling gentrification and the displacement of Oakland’s historic black population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is one reason activist Malkia Cyril said seeing the film is not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At screenings, Cyril will also be talking, engaging in conversations. Cyril will be telling people about the \u003ca href=\"https://www.colorlines.com/articles/16-black-panthers-still-behind-bars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Panther Party members still behind bars\u003c/a>. Cyril said they were unfairly accused and convicted, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/hueypnewton/actions/actions_cointelpro.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">targets of the FBI's COINTELPRO\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cyril will also be talking about the FBI’s newest target, so-called \u003ca href=\"http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/10/06/the-fbi-has-identified-a-new-domestic-terrorist-threat-and-its-black-identity-extremists/\">Black Identity Extremists\u003c/a>. Cyril said that is a barely disguised code for \u003ca href=\"https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a> activists, of which Cyril is one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ryan Coogler’s job was to make this amazing film -- and he did that. He did his job. Now it’s time for us to be on our job,” Cyril said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Coogler's ties to Oakland have informed his work. His breakthrough first movie, \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/12/movies/fruitvale-station-is-based-on-the-story-of-oscar-grant-iii.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fruitvale Station\u003c/a>,\" was about the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, a young unarmed black man from \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/09/us/09verdict.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland who was killed by a BART police officer in 2009\u003c/a>. Grant lay restrained and face down on a crowded BART platform when he was shot in the back. That was before Trayvon Martin, before Michael Brown, before Black Lives Matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shawn Taylor said it was serendipity that Black Panther was the name given to both a black Marvel superhero and a movement for black liberation in the same year. It was not a connection that Marvel wanted, Taylor said. They even tried to change the name “because they didn’t want to be associated with the Black Panther Party.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In comic books and graphic novels a character is not just created by its originator. The universe is explored and populated by other writers. The Black Panther comic, and the Black Panther universe, was written over decades, by \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/5-black-panther-comics-to-read-before-you-see-the-movie.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">generations of comic book writers\u003c/a> such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/christopher-priest-made-black-panther-cool-then-disappeared.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christopher Priest\u003c/a>, and more recently by \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2016/06/wakanda-and-the-black-aesthetic/489290/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ta-Nehisi Coates\u003c/a> and Roxane Gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These writers expanded on the mythic world that T'Challa -- the Black Panther -- came from and protected, the imagined African country of Wakanda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a country in Africa that has never been conquered by any European powers or anyone else,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wakanda, Taylor said, “is the most technologically advanced country in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11650622\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 503px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11650622\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"503\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton.jpg 503w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton-160x200.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton-240x301.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/seale-newton-375x470.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Panther Party founders Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wakanda is not post-colonial or pre-colonial. It exists in a timeline where colonization \u003cem>never\u003c/em> happened. It is an African country in which people were never raped, murdered and kidnapped, never stacked on top of each other on ships that took them to death and slavery and struggle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colonization not only shapes the stories of black Americans, but also the narratives of African countries -- countries where colonizers staged proxy wars and propped up dictatorships so they could continue to harvest rich natural resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the world of Wakanda black people are free to create, to innovate, to determine their own destiny. In that imagined space, they create technology beyond our wildest dreams. The metal that makes Captain America’s shield, vibranium, comes from Wakanda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Marvel universe, Captain America represents America’s greatness. It seems fitting that his primary weapon, his shield, comes from the natural resources of an (imagined) African country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is a pretty apt metaphor for colonial power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Wakanda, the comics created a place where black people rule themselves. Historically, self-rule is a radical concept for people of color in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us back to the Black Panther Party, because self-rule is a concept for which they advocated and fought. That fight started in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is archival tape of Huey Newton, when he was leader of the Black Panther Party, just after he was arrested, talking to the press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the police were to withdraw from the community,” Newton said, “and the black community control its own police institution as well as all the other institutions within our community -- we feel that law and order would exist.” Peace too, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What he was asking for was a Wakanda, a space in which black people can rule themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Imagination Is Revolutionary \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This idea of black heroes, this idea of a black liberation army, an army of warriors ready to fight, this is both literal and figurative,” Malkia Cyril said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/19/lessons-from-growing-up-as-a-black-panther-cub/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cyril grew up in the Black Panther Party\u003c/a>. “I am the daughter of a Black Panther, a \u003cem>real\u003c/em> Black Panther.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cyril is also the founder of the \u003ca href=\"http://centerformediajustice.org/\">Center for Media Justice\u003c/a>, so Cyril knows just how much representation matters, and not just representation, but empowered representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the heart of Afrofuturism,” Cyril said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quick history lesson: \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/dec/07/afrofuturism-black-identity-future-science-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Afrofuturism\u003c/a> was coined in 1993 by the journalist Mark Dery -- a white guy -- to define the artistic movement where images of ancient Africa intersect with the future and the fantastic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s also digging into the past, bringing it forward, imaging the impossible,” Cyril said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afrofuturism was, in part, born out of a question, said Shawn Taylor: Why weren’t more African-Americans represented in science fiction?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Black existence in America is science fiction,” Taylor said. “Aliens came to your land, abducted you, stole your god, stole your music, stole your language, and dropped you off into an alien land with new flora, new fauna -- new everything.

The idea is to conjure and interrogate the world purely from one's own perspective. Historically, most mainstream movies about the African-American experience, he said, are about slavery and trauma, about the wounds of the past. There is a power in imagining yourself outside of that, Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see what an Arab-American story is without white supremacy involved, without having to be labeled a terrorist. I want to see that story,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see a woman’s story not having to contend with misogyny,\" Taylor said. \"I want to see a queer story not having to contend with homophobia, when you do these kind of cultural speculations, you get such beautiful and rich stories without always having to have double consciousness involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the power to speculate about a world without white supremacy makes that world, that self, feel possible. And that creates not a retreat, but a way forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor admits that people still have to contend with reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the technologically superior Wakanda, “technology elevates everybody,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor knows that does not carry over to the world we live in. “Oakland is kind of like the anti-Wakanda,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is because technology here is fueling gentrification and the displacement of Oakland’s historic black population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is one reason activist Malkia Cyril said seeing the film is not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At screenings, Cyril will also be talking, engaging in conversations. Cyril will be telling people about the \u003ca href=\"https://www.colorlines.com/articles/16-black-panthers-still-behind-bars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Panther Party members still behind bars\u003c/a>. Cyril said they were unfairly accused and convicted, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/hueypnewton/actions/actions_cointelpro.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">targets of the FBI's COINTELPRO\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cyril will also be talking about the FBI’s newest target, so-called \u003ca href=\"http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/10/06/the-fbi-has-identified-a-new-domestic-terrorist-threat-and-its-black-identity-extremists/\">Black Identity Extremists\u003c/a>.
