His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

I said, ‘Whoa!’ Picture came on again and I said, ‘That’s my brother.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, within a matter of seconds, Munir’s day goes from another eight hours in housewares to the shock that his brother is being held for shooting Robert F. Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What went through his mind?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought when this thing happened, they got the wrong guy,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munir borrowed his boss’s car, picked up his brother Adel from home and they headed for the Pasadena police station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The officer didn’t seem too interested, so we walked away, and Adel happened to gaze at a newsstand and there it was, Sirhan’s picture on the front page,” says Munir. “So he grabbed the paper and went back to the desk sergeant, told him, ‘This is my brother.’ I remember the guy’s look. He said, ‘Oh!’ Then all hell broke loose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police quickly camped out on Munir’s street — and would remain for the next six months — to protect the family, though Munir says there were never any acts of vengeance. Nevertheless, it turned the neighborhood upside down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following is from a televised interview in front of the family house a few days later:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Police Chief Redden said the Sirhan family has been most cooperative in the investigation. ‘We know very little.

So we don’t know anything more than you do.’\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“When things somewhat cooled down, after we spoke with the FBI, after we spoke with the L.A. police and Pasadena police, mother and I went down to see him,” says Munir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11673064\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/03-WP-RS31288_IMG_5993-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The book shelf in the Sirhan family home, including Munir's Kennedy volumes and his brother Sirhan's copy of "Controlling the Human Mind."

I don’t know. All I know is my leg hurts,’ and I think it was one of his thumbs that were hurting. He specifically said, ‘I don’t remember what happened.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This lack of memory of the actual shooting of Kennedy is something that Sirhan has continued to maintain, though in a 1989 TV interview with David Frost he said his motivation to target Kennedy was the senator’s support of Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frost asked, “Why did Robert Kennedy, the friend of the downtrodden, become the focus of this hatred?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because to me he was my hero,” Sirhan Sirhan responded. “He was my champion. He was the protector and the defender of the downtrodden and the disadvantaged and I felt that I was one. And to have him say that he was going to send 50 Phantom jets to Israel to deliver nothing but death and destruction on my countrymen, that seemed as though it was a betrayal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munir says his brother never shared those feelings with him and that he never heard him express any negative feelings toward Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, no, no,” he emphasizes. “None of us were politically inclined. If you would’ve told me any of my brothers did anything like this, especially Sirhan, I’d call you the biggest liar in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s the “Manchurian Candidate” theory, that Sirhan was acting under hypnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could explain his calm demeanor that witnesses remarked upon immediately after the shooting, and the notebook police later found in his bedroom with “RFK must die” scrawled repeatedly, something hypnotism advocates say was automatic writing done during a trance state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know this sounds like a cliché,” says Munir, “but he had played around with hypnotism and somewhere along the line he learned how to self-hypnotize himself, or somebody got into his head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the living room of the family house, there are glass-doored shelves filled with books. Stuck between yellowing copies of “Word Power Made Easy” and “How to Win Friends and Influence People” is an old hardback that belongs to Sirhan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a book here that deals with personality or something,” says Munir, leaning in to find the book. He plucks out a volume called “The Laws of Mental Domination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked him about it one day but I never got any clear answers,” Munir says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hypnosis and brainwashing and conspiracies aside, forensic evidence states that the shot that killed Kennedy came from no more than three inches from the back of his head, where an armed, private security guard had drawn his weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eyewitnesses place Sirhan as never closer than a few feet away and approaching Kennedy from the front. An audio tape recorded that night surfaced in 2004. Experts say it reveals up to 13 shots fired. Sirhan’s gun held eight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This knowledge and its implications — the possibility that a second gunman was responsible for Kennedy’s murder — are what Munir clings to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t there but the people that were, they all say that they heard more shots, Sirhan wasn’t close enough,” Munir says. “These are eyewitnesses, it was not us, the family, making these things up. When we heard those things it gave us a little bit of hope that maybe Sirhan didn’t do it, like we thought all along. It wasn’t Sirhan. Not my brother.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At moments like this, sitting in the still and quiet dining room as his cigarette burns slowly in the ashtray, you can feel the helpless frustration that’s weighed upon Munir for decades over a situation he didn’t ask for, but one he has accepted as best he can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11673062\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/01-WP-RS31289_IMG_6004-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Sirhan family tape recorder purchased in the '60s.

He’s a really nice guy,” she says. “He’s a great neighbor, and when we’re gone he watches the house, when he’s gone we’ll watch his house, and just a few years ago he gave me his phone number. He’s let me in, a little bit at a time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the decades, she’s seen the odd tour bus cruise by, and Munir once cautioned her to move her trash bins away from his on pickup day. Souvenir hunters sometimes root through the garbage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the assassination, Munir says his neighbors were very supportive, and even in public his last name has never brought him trouble. No altercations, no curses, no nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he does get recognized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh yeah, I had jobs that my name would be printed on my shirt,” he says. “I’ve never had anybody that held any animosity toward us at all. In fact, I didn’t like it, but a lot of people would say, ‘You’re famous,’ or go out of their way to help because of the notoriety and I’d tell them, ‘Please, I have my own individuality.’ That’s been going on for years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his individuality is a buried and private thing. Hang around with him for a while, and he seems like a regular guy. But a regular guy is a very hard thing to be when your brother was convicted of killing a Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the outside he’s friendly, he loves to talk,” offers Sloman, “I don’t understand really what he’s been going through, but to know that his last brother has been serving the last 50 years of his life in prison has got to be just horrible. Tearing him apart basically, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirhan is currently residing in his fifth California prison since 1968, the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Driving is hard for Munir these days given his failing vision, so it’s mostly phone calls and letters between him and Sirhan, and even those are random.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they do come, he’s still talking to his big brother. The guy who used to look out for him so long ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“’Stop smoking, it’s bad for you,’” Munir says his brother tells him. “’It’s the number one killer in the United States. Take care of yourself … I need you alive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so Munir marks time in the house, alone. Ask him what his days are like and he shrugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He talks to the lawyers when they need something, and spends his dwindling eyesight reading and rereading boxes of briefs and transcripts, still trying to make sense of everything that’s consumed him for 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He seems to take it all in stride, but every now and again, just for a moment, something else comes to the surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have a life of your own at all,” says Munir Sirhan. “I’m lost, still am. Did he do it? Didn’t he do it? People were there that say this and people were there that say that. I wasn’t there. I have to rely on my brother, and he says ‘I don’t remember.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been generations since that night in 1968. Who was Sirhan? Who was Robert Kennedy, even? What is unforgettable to older Americans has become vague or simply unknown to younger people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, California state prisoner B21014, will have his next parole hearing in 2021.

He specifically said, ‘I don’t remember what happened.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This lack of memory of the actual shooting of Kennedy is something that Sirhan has continued to maintain, though in a 1989 TV interview with David Frost he said his motivation to target Kennedy was the senator’s support of Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frost asked, “Why did Robert Kennedy, the friend of the downtrodden, become the focus of this hatred?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because to me he was my hero,” Sirhan Sirhan responded. “He was my champion. He was the protector and the defender of the downtrodden and the disadvantaged and I felt that I was one. And to have him say that he was going to send 50 Phantom jets to Israel to deliver nothing but death and destruction on my countrymen, that seemed as though it was a betrayal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munir says his brother never shared those feelings with him and that he never heard him express any negative feelings toward Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, no, no,” he emphasizes. “None of us were politically inclined. If you would’ve told me any of my brothers did anything like this, especially Sirhan, I’d call you the biggest liar in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s the “Manchurian Candidate” theory, that Sirhan was acting under hypnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could explain his calm demeanor that witnesses remarked upon immediately after the shooting, and the notebook police later found in his bedroom with “RFK must die” scrawled repeatedly, something hypnotism advocates say was automatic writing done during a trance state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know this sounds like a cliché,” says Munir, “but he had played around with hypnotism and somewhere along the line he learned how to self-hypnotize himself, or somebody got into his head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the living room of the family house, there are glass-doored shelves filled with books. Stuck between yellowing copies of “Word Power Made Easy” and “How to Win Friends and Influence People” is an old hardback that belongs to Sirhan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a book here that deals with personality or something,” says Munir, leaning in to find the book. He plucks out a volume called “The Laws of Mental Domination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked him about it one day but I never got any clear answers,” Munir says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hypnosis and brainwashing and conspiracies aside, forensic evidence states that the shot that killed Kennedy came from no more than three inches from the back of his head, where an armed, private security guard had drawn his weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eyewitnesses place Sirhan as never closer than a few feet away and approaching Kennedy from the front. An audio tape recorded that night surfaced in 2004. Experts say it reveals up to 13 shots fired. Sirhan’s gun held eight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This knowledge and its implications — the possibility that a second gunman was responsible for Kennedy’s murder — are what Munir clings to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t there but the people that were, they all say that they heard more shots, Sirhan wasn’t close enough,” Munir says. “These are eyewitnesses, it was not us, the family, making these things up. When we heard those things it gave us a little bit of hope that maybe Sirhan didn’t do it, like we thought all along. It wasn’t Sirhan. Not my brother.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At moments like this, sitting in the still and quiet dining room as his cigarette burns slowly in the ashtray, you can feel the helpless frustration that’s weighed upon Munir for decades over a situation he didn’t ask for, but one he has accepted as best he can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11673062\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/01-WP-RS31289_IMG_6004-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Sirhan family tape recorder purchased in the '60s.

He’s let me in, a little bit at a time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the decades, she’s seen the odd tour bus cruise by, and Munir once cautioned her to move her trash bins away from his on pickup day. Souvenir hunters sometimes root through the garbage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the assassination, Munir says his neighbors were very supportive, and even in public his last name has never brought him trouble. No altercations, no curses, no nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he does get recognized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh yeah, I had jobs that my name would be printed on my shirt,” he says. “I’ve never had anybody that held any animosity toward us at all. In fact, I didn’t like it, but a lot of people would say, ‘You’re famous,’ or go out of their way to help because of the notoriety and I’d tell them, ‘Please, I have my own individuality.’ That’s been going on for years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his individuality is a buried and private thing. Hang around with him for a while, and he seems like a regular guy. But a regular guy is a very hard thing to be when your brother was convicted of killing a Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the outside he’s friendly, he loves to talk,” offers Sloman, “I don’t understand really what he’s been going through, but to know that his last brother has been serving the last 50 years of his life in prison has got to be just horrible. Tearing him apart basically, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirhan is currently residing in his fifth California prison since 1968, the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Driving is hard for Munir these days given his failing vision, so it’s mostly phone calls and letters between him and Sirhan, and even those are random.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they do come, he’s still talking to his big brother. The guy who used to look out for him so long ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“’Stop smoking, it’s bad for you,’” Munir says his brother tells him. “’It’s the number one killer in the United States. Take care of yourself … I need you alive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so Munir marks time in the house, alone. Ask him what his days are like and he shrugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He talks to the lawyers when they need something, and spends his dwindling eyesight reading and rereading boxes of briefs and transcripts, still trying to make sense of everything that’s consumed him for 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He seems to take it all in stride, but every now and again, just for a moment, something else comes to the surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have a life of your own at all,” says Munir Sirhan. “I’m lost, still am. Did he do it? Didn’t he do it? People were there that say this and people were there that say that. I wasn’t there. I have to rely on my brother, and he says ‘I don’t remember.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been generations since that night in 1968. Who was Sirhan? Who was Robert Kennedy, even? What is unforgettable to older Americans has become vague or simply unknown to younger people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"labelTerm": {},
"content": "\u003cp>After being a finalist for LAPD chief in 2009 only to see the job go to Charlie Beck, Michel Moore has been selected to succeed Beck by L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore, a 37-year veteran of the force, runs the LAPD’s day-to-day patrol operations as first assistant chief, the number two at the department behind Beck, who’s stepping down June 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore, 54, has held nearly every top job at the department, overseeing everything from the budget to personnel to special operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti noted Moore’s extensive senior-level experience, adding that in his interviews he “brought a very deep sense of what we needed to do” to deal with the various challenges facing the department. “Also, he has the capacity to fire on multiple pistons at the same time,” the mayor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti picked Moore over Deputy Chief Robert Arcos, a 29-year veteran, and San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott, a former LAPD deputy chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The L.A. City Council still must confirm Garcetti’s selection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore said “I was humbled beyond description” when Garcetti called Monday to offer him the position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He praised Beck for the job he has done during his tenure, and said he’s not coming into the position with a preconceived agenda. Moore stressed that he wants to continue a listening campaign that he has been carrying out with people throughout L.A. and with the men and women of the LAPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said community members have expressed “a desire that we be more engaged, that we be more deeply invested.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The LAPD Rank-and-File ‘Get to … Be Heard Again’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Moore said some of the things LAPD officers told him confirmed what he already knew, but in some cases what he heard “was water on my face in the sense of waking me up and saying I need to take a fresh look at this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an apparent allusion to the sometimes chilly relations between some of the rank-and-file and Beck, Moore said, “I need the people of this great department to know that today is a day that they get to step forward and be heard again. Whether they feel like they have been in the past is not relevant.” What is relevant, Moore said, “is today as I take on this new position that they know that the organization has an opportunity to reset, an opportunity to reinvent, an opportunity to reinvigorate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board of directors of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the officers union, congratulated Moore and expressed its hope that if he’s confirmed “he will take immediate action to address low officer morale stemming from our critically low police staffing and that he will be absolutely committed to collaborating on new ideas to reduce violent crime and prepare our city for the 2028 Olympics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore “is one of the most knowledgeable people at the LAPD,” said L.A. County Sheriff Jim McDonnell, who worked alongside Moore for nearly three decades at the LAPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mike Moore is an excellent problem-solver,” said Shane Murphy Goldsmith, who sits on the five-member Police Commission that recommended the three finalists to Garcetti. “He has vast experience and will be able to hit the ground running on day one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Moore was a candidate for chief in 2009, the Los Angeles Times reported that he was widely credited with helping lower crime rates in the San Fernando Valley during his more than four years in charge of the bureau that oversaw that area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore was one of eight finalists last year for the job of chief of the Dallas Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several L.A. Latino political leaders had lobbied Garcetti to select Arcos, who would have been the city’s first Latino police chief. When asked about that, the mayor noted that he hired the city’s first Latino fire chief and selected an African-American woman to run Los Angeles World Airports. Garcetti then said, “I wasn’t looking to fill a demographic or make history,” adding, “I wanted the best person for the job, and that’s Mike Moore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor called Arcos and Scott “exceptional” candidates. “Bobby Arcos will be an amazing chief one day, whether it’s here or another city,” Garcetti said. “He’s an empath.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Arcos’ advocates, L.A. City Councilman Gil Cedillo, issued a decidedly lukewarm statement following Moore’s selection. He called Garcetti’s announcement “the first step in the selection process,” saying that as the City Council considers the appointment, “I look forward to engaging in a rigorous vetting process with my colleagues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11662872\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11662872\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.\" width=\"800\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-800x558.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-1020x711.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-1200x836.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-1180x822.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-960x669.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-375x261.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-520x362.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. \u003ccite>(Emma McIntyre/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Cedillo went on to say that council members “know what experience is most important to our communities. It’s within that framework that the council must make its decision to determine what experience matters most and who the next Police Chief will be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hector Villagra, executive director of the ACLU of Southern California, said Moore “has worked productively with ACLU and other civil rights and community organizations in the LAPD’s creation of a more humane impound policy, enforcement of street vending laws, and limiting the department’s interactions with immigration enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villagra went on to say that Moore must commit himself to “completely disentangling the department from federal immigration enforcement and limiting dragnet surveillance,” adding that, if confirmed, Moore “must also adopt de-escalation policies, reform gang enforcement practices, and increase transparency and accountability around officer misconduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘I Am One to Challenge That Status Quo’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KPCC before his selection, Moore listed several goals, including: hiring more women and black officers; improving community relations, especially with African-Americans; diving deeper into the role implicit bias may be playing in policing at the LAPD; and shifting more officers from specialized units to patrol cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief-to-be is demanding of employees and peers alike, said Deputy Chief Bob Green. “He is very assertive. He can dominate a meeting,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am one to challenge that status quo,” Moore told KPCC. “That means disrupting a conversation that was going pretty mellow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said, “I’ve had leaders hold that against me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore did say “there’s been maturing on my part” over time. “I need to slow down and I need to engage others … I’ve also had to learn I am not always right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting as a 21-year-old patrol officer in 1981, Moore moved up through the ranks, serving as a detective, sergeant and lieutenant, according to his LAPD bio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was promoted to captain in 1998, which led to one of his key assignments: assuming command of the Rampart Division following the arrest of then-officer Raphael Perez in a widespread corruption scandal that involving stealing cocaine booked as evidence and stealing drugs from suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore reached the rank of commander in 2002 and deputy chief in 2004. He became an assistant chief in 2010 and was put in charge of the detective bureau and the counterterrorism and special operations bureau. Beck put him at the head of the LAPD’s office of administrative services in 2015, where he oversaw fiscal, personnel, training and other operations. He also chaired the department’s use-of-force review board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he rose through the ranks, Moore became known as a detail-oriented, data-focused boss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s got a memory for everything and he’s very Type A,” said Green. “And his ability to make a good decision is unsurpassed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green recalled one of the first times he saw Moore in action, during the 2000 Democratic National Convention in L.A. Moore issued a dispersal order to a group of protesters that was in part an acknowledgement of their concerns, said Green, an expert in dealing with that type of situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was just extremely impressed by his knowledge of crowd management,” said Green, adding that Moore knew how to use more forceful persuasion, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Pentecostal Values, Seeking ‘A Life That Had Meaning’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Moore said he first thought about becoming a police officer when he was 14. He liked the idea of working outdoors in a challenging profession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, I wanted to do something larger than myself,” he said, “to live a life that had meaning, that felt like I was helping people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He learned those values attending Pentecostal churches with his family, adding, “my butt was in a lot of pews for a lot of revivals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a time, Moore’s family also attended a Seventh-day Adventist church, which honors Saturday as the Sabbath. “That meant sitting at home Friday nights missing high school football games,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore’s father was a Basque immigrant who moved the family a lot looking for work. Born in Porterville, California, Moore ended up graduating from high school in Conway, Arkansas. By then his father had left and his mother had remarried. His stepfather suggested he drop his father’s name of Sanchotena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When his mother and stepfather broke up, they moved back to California, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a time, Moore thought he’d study accounting. But he heard then-LAPD Chief Daryl Gates talk about needing cops who wouldn’t drive by dark alleys but down them.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The L.A. City Council still must confirm Garcetti’s selection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore said “I was humbled beyond description” when Garcetti called Monday to offer him the position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He praised Beck for the job he has done during his tenure, and said he’s not coming into the position with a preconceived agenda. Moore stressed that he wants to continue a listening campaign that he has been carrying out with people throughout L.A. and with the men and women of the LAPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said community members have expressed “a desire that we be more engaged, that we be more deeply invested.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The LAPD Rank-and-File ‘Get to … Be Heard Again’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Moore said some of the things LAPD officers told him confirmed what he already knew, but in some cases what he heard “was water on my face in the sense of waking me up and saying I need to take a fresh look at this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an apparent allusion to the sometimes chilly relations between some of the rank-and-file and Beck, Moore said, “I need the people of this great department to know that today is a day that they get to step forward and be heard again. Whether they feel like they have been in the past is not relevant.” What is relevant, Moore said, “is today as I take on this new position that they know that the organization has an opportunity to reset, an opportunity to reinvent, an opportunity to reinvigorate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board of directors of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the officers union, congratulated Moore and expressed its hope that if he’s confirmed “he will take immediate action to address low officer morale stemming from our critically low police staffing and that he will be absolutely committed to collaborating on new ideas to reduce violent crime and prepare our city for the 2028 Olympics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore “is one of the most knowledgeable people at the LAPD,” said L.A. County Sheriff Jim McDonnell, who worked alongside Moore for nearly three decades at the LAPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mike Moore is an excellent problem-solver,” said Shane Murphy Goldsmith, who sits on the five-member Police Commission that recommended the three finalists to Garcetti. “He has vast experience and will be able to hit the ground running on day one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Moore was a candidate for chief in 2009, the Los Angeles Times reported that he was widely credited with helping lower crime rates in the San Fernando Valley during his more than four years in charge of the bureau that oversaw that area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore was one of eight finalists last year for the job of chief of the Dallas Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several L.A. Latino political leaders had lobbied Garcetti to select Arcos, who would have been the city’s first Latino police chief. When asked about that, the mayor noted that he hired the city’s first Latino fire chief and selected an African-American woman to run Los Angeles World Airports. Garcetti then said, “I wasn’t looking to fill a demographic or make history,” adding, “I wanted the best person for the job, and that’s Mike Moore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor called Arcos and Scott “exceptional” candidates. “Bobby Arcos will be an amazing chief one day, whether it’s here or another city,” Garcetti said. “He’s an empath.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Arcos’ advocates, L.A. City Councilman Gil Cedillo, issued a decidedly lukewarm statement following Moore’s selection. He called Garcetti’s announcement “the first step in the selection process,” saying that as the City Council considers the appointment, “I look forward to engaging in a rigorous vetting process with my colleagues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11662872\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11662872\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.\" width=\"800\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-800x558.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-1020x711.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-1200x836.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-1180x822.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-960x669.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-375x261.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Garcetti-520x362.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. \u003ccite>(Emma McIntyre/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Cedillo went on to say that council members “know what experience is most important to our communities. It’s within that framework that the council must make its decision to determine what experience matters most and who the next Police Chief will be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hector Villagra, executive director of the ACLU of Southern California, said Moore “has worked productively with ACLU and other civil rights and community organizations in the LAPD’s creation of a more humane impound policy, enforcement of street vending laws, and limiting the department’s interactions with immigration enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villagra went on to say that Moore must commit himself to “completely disentangling the department from federal immigration enforcement and limiting dragnet surveillance,” adding that, if confirmed, Moore “must also adopt de-escalation policies, reform gang enforcement practices, and increase transparency and accountability around officer misconduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘I Am One to Challenge That Status Quo’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KPCC before his selection, Moore listed several goals, including: hiring more women and black officers; improving community relations, especially with African-Americans; diving deeper into the role implicit bias may be playing in policing at the LAPD; and shifting more officers from specialized units to patrol cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief-to-be is demanding of employees and peers alike, said Deputy Chief Bob Green. “He is very assertive. He can dominate a meeting,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am one to challenge that status quo,” Moore told KPCC. “That means disrupting a conversation that was going pretty mellow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said, “I’ve had leaders hold that against me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore did say “there’s been maturing on my part” over time. “I need to slow down and I need to engage others … I’ve also had to learn I am not always right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting as a 21-year-old patrol officer in 1981, Moore moved up through the ranks, serving as a detective, sergeant and lieutenant, according to his LAPD bio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was promoted to captain in 1998, which led to one of his key assignments: assuming command of the Rampart Division following the arrest of then-officer Raphael Perez in a widespread corruption scandal that involving stealing cocaine booked as evidence and stealing drugs from suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore reached the rank of commander in 2002 and deputy chief in 2004. He became an assistant chief in 2010 and was put in charge of the detective bureau and the counterterrorism and special operations bureau. Beck put him at the head of the LAPD’s office of administrative services in 2015, where he oversaw fiscal, personnel, training and other operations. He also chaired the department’s use-of-force review board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he rose through the ranks, Moore became known as a detail-oriented, data-focused boss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s got a memory for everything and he’s very Type A,” said Green. “And his ability to make a good decision is unsurpassed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green recalled one of the first times he saw Moore in action, during the 2000 Democratic National Convention in L.A. Moore issued a dispersal order to a group of protesters that was in part an acknowledgement of their concerns, said Green, an expert in dealing with that type of situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was just extremely impressed by his knowledge of crowd management,” said Green, adding that Moore knew how to use more forceful persuasion, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Pentecostal Values, Seeking ‘A Life That Had Meaning’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Moore said he first thought about becoming a police officer when he was 14. He liked the idea of working outdoors in a challenging profession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, I wanted to do something larger than myself,” he said, “to live a life that had meaning, that felt like I was helping people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He learned those values attending Pentecostal churches with his family, adding, “my butt was in a lot of pews for a lot of revivals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a time, Moore’s family also attended a Seventh-day Adventist church, which honors Saturday as the Sabbath. “That meant sitting at home Friday nights missing high school football games,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore’s father was a Basque immigrant who moved the family a lot looking for work. Born in Porterville, California, Moore ended up graduating from high school in Conway, Arkansas. By then his father had left and his mother had remarried. His stepfather suggested he drop his father’s name of Sanchotena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When his mother and stepfather broke up, they moved back to California, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a time, Moore thought he’d study accounting. But he heard then-LAPD Chief Daryl Gates talk about needing cops who wouldn’t drive by dark alleys but down them. He quit his better-paying Lockheed job building planes and joined the LAPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I saw a great deal of violence,” Moore said of his early years, when the scourge of rock cocaine brought piles of cash, guns by the thousands and untold misery to poor neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Community ‘Saw Us as Occupiers’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>He was involved in two shootings.

They hope that high disapproval ratings for the Republican-led Congress and President Trump will create a rush of enthusiasm for Democrats in areas where GOP control is already tenuous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no doubt that there’s real enthusiasm in California this year, particularly in the suburbs around Los Angeles. It is nearly impossible to find a corner on a busy street in many of these towns that isn’t packed with a jumble of candidate signs and posters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the problem for the party is that most of the signs are for Dems running against each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats had great success in convincing new energetic candidates to step up and run — almost too much in some cases. The rush of excitement created crowded races with three or more Democrats campaigning, sometimes aggressively, against one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This poses a serious risk in a California, where the top two primary vote winners wind up on the ballot in November, regardless of their party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engaged voters in California are hyperaware of those risks, but most say they’re not willing to back down and away from their candidate of choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Crowded fields pitting Democrats against each other\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The infighting got so bad in past few weeks that the chair of the California Democratic Party had to broker a truce between two Democrats in the 39th District, which includes towns like Brea and Fullerton. That race is one of many where there are so many Democrats running in the primary that party leaders fear voters will be hopelessly split — meaning no Democrat will get enough votes to make it to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This district was supposed to be a dream for Democrats. The current congressman, Republican Rep. Ed Royce, is retiring. That should have evened the playing field for Democrats to pick up the seat without having to run against a representative that voters already know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point there were nearly 10 Democrats running in the district. Now they’re down to nine candidates all together, with some internal polls showing not a single one with more than 20 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy Thorburn is a progressive running in the district — and he is widely considered to be trailing establishment-backed candidate Gil Cisneros. The two spent most of May trading barbs and attacks in ads and public forums, but by Memorial Day, Thorburn was downplaying their differences. At least on policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s not overstate the differences. There are way more differences between Republicans and Democrats, obviously,” Thorburn said at a campaign event in Fullerton. “There are differences of emphasis, nuance. They’re not earth-shaking differences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>High stakes creating party-wide drama\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are quick to point out that the leadership at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee decided to intervene in several races to put a thumb on the scale for some candidates. And so far, nearly every DCCC-backed candidate has been a relatively moderate, mainstream Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has been a turnoff for some deeply engaged progressives who say the party is violating their own message — the message that they want their candidates to match their districts.

The rush of excitement created crowded races with three or more Democrats campaigning, sometimes aggressively, against one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This poses a serious risk in a California, where the top two primary vote winners wind up on the ballot in November, regardless of their party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engaged voters in California are hyperaware of those risks, but most say they’re not willing to back down and away from their candidate of choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Crowded fields pitting Democrats against each other\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The infighting got so bad in past few weeks that the chair of the California Democratic Party had to broker a truce between two Democrats in the 39th District, which includes towns like Brea and Fullerton. That race is one of many where there are so many Democrats running in the primary that party leaders fear voters will be hopelessly split — meaning no Democrat will get enough votes to make it to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This district was supposed to be a dream for Democrats. The current congressman, Republican Rep. Ed Royce, is retiring. That should have evened the playing field for Democrats to pick up the seat without having to run against a representative that voters already know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point there were nearly 10 Democrats running in the district. Now they’re down to nine candidates all together, with some internal polls showing not a single one with more than 20 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy Thorburn is a progressive running in the district — and he is widely considered to be trailing establishment-backed candidate Gil Cisneros. The two spent most of May trading barbs and attacks in ads and public forums, but by Memorial Day, Thorburn was downplaying their differences. At least on policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s not overstate the differences. There are way more differences between Republicans and Democrats, obviously,” Thorburn said at a campaign event in Fullerton. “There are differences of emphasis, nuance. They’re not earth-shaking differences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>High stakes creating party-wide drama\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are quick to point out that the leadership at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee decided to intervene in several races to put a thumb on the scale for some candidates. And so far, nearly every DCCC-backed candidate has been a relatively moderate, mainstream Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has been a turnoff for some deeply engaged progressives who say the party is violating their own message — the message that they want their candidates to match their districts. The emphasis on finding the right candidates is so strong in California that the DCCC opened a rare West Coast branch last year just to help manage these races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign officials say privately that they’re closely watching what undecided voters and disaffected Republicans want — and that they’re using that information as a guide for who they pick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washington Rep.
