He ignored my orders to drop the weapon, running away and firing shots over his shoulder. By that time I had ducked for cover, and clearly he wasn't able to target me as he fled. So I let him go, figuring it would be wrong to shoot a fleeing suspect in the back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Was I right? It depends. But according to Oakland Police Officer Frank Uu, who conducts officer training, I could have shot him anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Legally, lawfully, you would've been justified in shooting him: within our policy, within state law or federal law, you were OK,\" Uu said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was just one of the revelations we in the media had on Saturday during an Oakland Police Department workshop on its use-of-force policies. The workshop came amid outrage from some in the community over the shooting of Derrick Jones, an East Oakland barber, who officers shot even though he was unarmed. Immediately after the shooting, the department said the officers reported that Jones had reached for something metallic in his waistband that they believed was a weapon. The department later described the object as a small scale like those used for weighing marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uu (pronounced \"OO-oo\"), a 24-year Oakland veteran, works as a rangemaster in the basement of the headquarters building. Officers spend hours there using MILO, a specialized use-of-force simulator. It's like a motion-sensitive video game projected on a large screen, with life-sized weapons that register hits during training scenarios. I was one of several reporters and community members who got to see MILO up-close and try it out. The department says it was the first time it had ever been so open to the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to my scenario, with the suspect who ran away while shooting. What if I'd tried to shoot him somewhere else? Maybe his leg? That didn't work for another reporter in the training, NBC Bay Area's Cheryl Hurd. In her scenario, a bank robbery in progress, she ended up shooting the pavement at the suspect's feet. He had a gun in the same hand as the bag of money; another shooter was waiting quietly in a nearby getaway car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What would've happened if she'd aimed at his foot?\" Uu asked. \"Maybe she shoots herself in the foot, right? It's very difficult to make those shots under those conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a complicated answer to a very simple issue. Shoot, or don't shoot?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject classid=\"d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/yk-GmHvpiS4?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6\">\u003cparam name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cembed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/yk-GmHvpiS4?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use of force is a complicated area of the law. It rests on a host of federal and state laws, U.S. Supreme Court precedents and internal policies. \"Shoot to kill\" is not one of those policies, Uu says, but if lethal force must be used to stop a suspect, officers are trained to shoot in the upper torso, hitting vital organs and making the suspect lose consciousness (or worse).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The back is part of the torso. It doesn't matter to me if it's the front or the back or the side,\" Uu explained, \"because the guy's still trying to kill me. He's trying to shoot at me. I'm going to try to stop him. I'm not trying to kill him, but I am trying to stop him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Deadly force is a last option,\" says Oakland's assistant chief of police, Howard Jordan. \"We teach (officers) a lot of things before that. The first option that we want our officers to do is, to use verbal persuasion ... giving commands, giving them orders to do something so you don't have to resort to violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if that doesn't work, police officers work with what's known as a continuum of force—a string of other tactics including hands-on restraining, pepper spray, or other means—in hopes of avoiding gunfire. The department is updating its use-of-force training next year with revised policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions like these are aimed at giving the public a closer look at Oakland police from the inside and conveying the challenges of police work under normal circumstances. By all accounts, the department is understaffed, and it's still working to restore confidence in the wake of the \"Riders\" scandal, questions about its handling of the Chauncey Bailey murder investigation, and lingering distrust in parts of the community over the Derrick Jones shooting and other incidents.

The workshop came amid outrage from some in the community over the shooting of Derrick Jones, an East Oakland barber, who officers shot even though he was unarmed. Immediately after the shooting, the department said the officers reported that Jones had reached for something metallic in his waistband that they believed was a weapon. The department later described the object as a small scale like those used for weighing marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uu (pronounced \"OO-oo\"), a 24-year Oakland veteran, works as a rangemaster in the basement of the headquarters building. Officers spend hours there using MILO, a specialized use-of-force simulator. It's like a motion-sensitive video game projected on a large screen, with life-sized weapons that register hits during training scenarios. I was one of several reporters and community members who got to see MILO up-close and try it out. The department says it was the first time it had ever been so open to the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to my scenario, with the suspect who ran away while shooting. What if I'd tried to shoot him somewhere else? Maybe his leg? That didn't work for another reporter in the training, NBC Bay Area's Cheryl Hurd. In her scenario, a bank robbery in progress, she ended up shooting the pavement at the suspect's feet. He had a gun in the same hand as the bag of money; another shooter was waiting quietly in a nearby getaway car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What would've happened if she'd aimed at his foot?\" Uu asked. \"Maybe she shoots herself in the foot, right? It's very difficult to make those shots under those conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a complicated answer to a very simple issue. Shoot, or don't shoot?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject classid=\"d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/yk-GmHvpiS4?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6\">\u003cparam name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cembed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/yk-GmHvpiS4?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use of force is a complicated area of the law. It rests on a host of federal and state laws, U.S. Supreme Court precedents and internal policies. \"Shoot to kill\" is not one of those policies, Uu says, but if lethal force must be used to stop a suspect, officers are trained to shoot in the upper torso, hitting vital organs and making the suspect lose consciousness (or worse).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The back is part of the torso. It doesn't matter to me if it's the front or the back or the side,\" Uu explained, \"because the guy's still trying to kill me. He's trying to shoot at me. I'm going to try to stop him. I'm not trying to kill him, but I am trying to stop him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Deadly force is a last option,\" says Oakland's assistant chief of police, Howard Jordan. \"We teach (officers) a lot of things before that. The first option that we want our officers to do is, to use verbal persuasion ... giving commands, giving them orders to do something so you don't have to resort to violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if that doesn't work, police officers work with what's known as a continuum of force—a string of other tactics including hands-on restraining, pepper spray, or other means—in hopes of avoiding gunfire. The department is updating its use-of-force training next year with revised policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions like these are aimed at giving the public a closer look at Oakland police from the inside and conveying the challenges of police work under normal circumstances. By all accounts, the department is understaffed, and it's still working to restore confidence in the wake of the \"Riders\" scandal, questions about its handling of the Chauncey Bailey murder investigation, and lingering distrust in parts of the community over the Derrick Jones shooting and other incidents. It's unclear if the department plans more sessions like the one on Saturday, but Mayor-elect Jean Quan was in attendance and says she'll use this information to keep reforming the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So back to my initial question: Should I shoot the suspect?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer is yes. Shoot. Or perhaps, no, don't shoot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It depends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2010/12/11/stop-or-ill-____-oakland-police-explain-use-of-force-policy/\">Click here to read Part One of this report\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Though Perry must consider two other factors -- flight risk and danger to society -- in deciding if bail is warranted, it will be the judge's view of the future appeal that will be the deciding factor, legal experts said. And that decision, (an expert) said, will probably go against Mehserle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'd be very surprised if bail was granted,\" said Robert Weisberg, professor of law at Stanford Law School and director of the university's criminal justice center. \"At this point, the phrase 'don't press your luck' comes to mind...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a defendant released on bail after a conviction is not a right as it is while a defendant faces trial, Weisberg said.

One factor he cited was that Mehserle had no good reason to shoot Grant -- which was precisely why prosecutors said the ex-officer should face harsh punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pirone was virtually in the line of fire. That is suggestive that this was an accident. Mehserle was on the platform for a very brief period, a matter of slightly more than two minutes, before pulling his gun and shooting Grant. He was not threatened by Grant, he had no reason to pull his gun and shoot Grant. Mehserle had absolutely no motive to shoot Grant. He didn't know Grant and had never interacted with Grant before. Of great significance in the court's ruling is that Mehserle announced he was going to Tase Grant. This statement was corroborated by Pirone and (Grant's friend) Jackie Bryson. Mehserle stood to gain distance, which would be required for the shooting of a Taser to be effective. It would not have been required to fire a gun. Mehserle fired once, which is consistent with shooting a Taser and inconsistent with firearm training, which says if you're going to shoot, you shoot more than once -- you double or triple tap is the phrase used. Mehserle pulled on his service revolver in a manner suggestive of trying to pull out a Taser. He was pushing in. It took him several efforts to pull the gun. After the shooting his hands immediately went to his head in obvious shock and surprise. This is again inconsistent with an intention to shoot. (Grant's friend Carlos) Reyes heard Mehserle say, \"Oh, s--. Oh, s--. I shot him.\" Again, further evidence that this was an unintentional shooting.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry said Mehserle had been justified in using a Taser on Grant because, he said, Grant was not complying with the officer's effort to handcuff him. Prosecutors had argued that using any weapon on Grant was excessive because he was unarmed and on his chest, pinned under two officers. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/crime/detail?entry_id=77194\">Full post\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Sure he would have. And if my mother had wheels, she’d be a bicycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quite simply, you don’t sign up to play football and show up with a strategy befitting rugby. And you don’t get into an RCV election without an RCV strategy. Quan and others knew the benefit of picking up second and third votes. Perata didn’t try or didn’t care…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the manner in which ranked-choice voting is tabulated is difficult to comprehend, the mindset of a voter is not: Vote for your favorite, second-favorite, and third-favorite. Simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RCV is not the cure for all of the political system’s shortcomings. But it’s hardly antidemocratic. Quite simply, there is no ideal situation to decide who should win a situation like the District 10 field, in which more than 20 candidates split some 17,000 votes. How is it less democratic for RCV to divvy up second- and third-place votes than to pick the top two vote-getters — each of whom amassed barely over 1,000 votes and outpolled other candidates by 100 or so tallies — and then run them against each other? How is it acceptably democratic for Tony Kelly to make a runoff with 1,200 votes, but undemocratic for Malia Cohen to beat him out with 3,700 RCV-adjusted votes? \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2010/11/don_perata_deserved_to_lose.php\">\u003cstrong>Read the full post\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cem>UPDATE NOV 11\u003c/em>: A \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/11/11/BAQV1GA2O3.DTL\">\u003cstrong>column\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> by the Chronicle’s C.W.

It is due to the fact that Oakland, San Francisco and other communities had to open up absentee and provisional ballots and count them — a process that takes time no matter what system is being used. That’s why Ron Dellums’ election in June 2006 wasn’t assured into well into the second week after the elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note that Dave Macdonald and Jon Arntz can push the button and update the RCV tallies anytime they want to — that’s easy.

Well, not perhaps. We have a call out to Dave Mcdonald, the Alameda Registrar, now.\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For what it’s worth, outside of any delays that may or may not be occurring due to its implementation, I like the concept of ranked-choice voting, as it seems to me to eliminate the classic voting dilemma that attained its \u003ca href=\"http://www.nathannewman.org/archives/000044.shtml\">Nader\u003c/a> uh I mean nadir in the presidential election of 2000. You know — you’re a die-hard liberal and you want to vote for Ralph, except you know there’s not a snowball’s chance in Florida of him winning. But you go ahead and vote for him anyway, then spend the next four years being vilified by your George W. Bush-hating friends for \u003cem>personally\u003c/em> causing the Iraq war. If you could have ranked-choice that vote, you could have specified: 1) Nader 2) Gore 3) Your Uncle Ernie, and your Nader vote would have eventually accrued to Gore. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\nThe same goes for votes on the right side of the political spectrum.

Mr. Richie took issue with my \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2010/11/09/morning-splash-oakland-mayoral-results-possibly-maybe-due-today-could-happen-update-on-sf-supe-races/\">attributing\u003c/a> the delays in reporting the final election results in the Oakland mayoral and San Francisco supervisor races to ranked-choice voting. \n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The delay in finalizing results is not due to ranked choice voting. It is due to the fact that Oakland, San Francisco and other communities had to open up absentee and provisional ballots and count them — a process that takes time no matter what system is being used. That’s why Ron Dellums’ election in June 2006 wasn’t assured into well into the second week after the elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note that Dave Macdonald and Jon Arntz can push the button and update the RCV tallies anytime they want to — that’s easy.

Well, not perhaps. We have a call out to Dave Mcdonald, the Alameda Registrar, now.\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For what it’s worth, outside of any delays that may or may not be occurring due to its implementation, I like the concept of ranked-choice voting, as it seems to me to eliminate the classic voting dilemma that attained its \u003ca href=\"http://www.nathannewman.org/archives/000044.shtml\">Nader\u003c/a> uh I mean nadir in the presidential election of 2000. You know — you’re a die-hard liberal and you want to vote for Ralph, except you know there’s not a snowball’s chance in Florida of him winning. But you go ahead and vote for him anyway, then spend the next four years being vilified by your George W. Bush-hating friends for \u003cem>personally\u003c/em> causing the Iraq war. If you could have ranked-choice that vote, you could have specified: 1) Nader 2) Gore 3) Your Uncle Ernie, and your Nader vote would have eventually accrued to Gore. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\nThe same goes for votes on the right side of the political spectrum.

On Friday his campaign released a statement that also expressed his confusion with the process. “It appears that there might be a reversal of fortune,” the statement read. “We’re unclear about Alameda County’s processes and await a final and accurate count.

Quan trailed former state Sen. Don Perata by more than 9 percentage points after preliminary results of first-place votes were posted Nov. 5.
