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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Two Saturdays ago, demonstrators marching in San Francisco viewed a peculiar sight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some police, clad in full riot gear, did not arrive at Union Square in police cars, sirens blazing. Nor did they ride in on motorcycles, bicycles or even those armored vehicles — the Lenco BearCat — that have been ubiquitous in demonstrations across the United States. Instead, they arrived the way 720,000 people once traveled to work in San Francisco every day (before COVID-19, anyway) — by Muni bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a public outcry and a quieter, internal rebellion by San Francisco’s own transportation agency employees, the years-long practice will end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni buses will no longer transport police to political demonstrations about “police brutality,” the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sfmta_muni/status/1270391482080358407\">announced on Twitter\u003c/a> Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a small rebellion by a transit agency against local police, and particularly poignant after decades of mistrust between black Americans and public transportation agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was on a bus, after all, that Rosa Parks was met with racist orders to yield a seat to a white passenger in 1955 — and it was on a BART platform where Oscar Grant was shot and killed by a transit police officer as he lay unarmed on the ground in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision by Muni leadership came after turmoil both public and behind closed doors. And there are no rules in Muni’s books to prevent the practice in the future — yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Infuriating’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Lateefah Simon, president of the BART Board of Directors, is also a lifelong Muni rider. Growing up in San Francisco, Muni was part of the fabric of life: going to school, going to work and, yes, part of being arrested after a protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1991, a young, junior high school-aged Simon took a 38-Geary Muni bus from Presidio Middle School to an anti-Iraq war protest downtown. When she was arrested, police tossed her and other demonstrators on a Muni bus bound for juvenile hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They sure did put us on a Muni bus,” she recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the intervening decades, a movement in the transit community has risen to bring public transit onto the side of protesters and racial justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the start of the George Floyd protests in May, one New York City bus driver inspired many in the world’s transit community. When detainees from a demonstration were loaded by the New York Police Department onto a city bus, the driver walked off, refusing to transport the protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crowds at Barclays Center, where the protesters were arrested, wildly cheered for the driver. The video went viral, and was viewed more than 12.5 million times as of June 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/berniebromanny/status/1266528183454699521\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here in the Bay Area, transit-lovers skewered Muni after watching social media videos of police in riot gear emerge from Muni buses to counter protesters. The driver did not walk off, and on social media the agency was perceived as against protesters demanding the defense of black lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those self-described transit “geeks” against the practice is \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/_DaveSquare\">David Sorrell\u003c/a>, a UC Berkeley transit administrator. Sorrell, who is black, told KQED his industry is predominantly white, male and of an older generation. Sorrell grew up in Chicago without access to a car, so his love of buses and trains grew from a young age. He saw the world from the window of a train. In that light, Sorrell called Muni transporting police to a local protest “infuriating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From an optics standpoint, and from a personal standpoint, it’s disappointing that the one thing that is supposed to connect our communities together is being used as a tool to stifle our freedoms of speech and assembly,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sorrell was not the only one to express outrage online. Chris Arvin is a prominent figure in the world of local transit lovers, known for his cherubic happy-faced bus and train art which he sells as pins and shirts online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marshaling his thousands of online followers, Arvin blasted Muni for transporting police to protests. He noted that the agency was once dubbed “The People’s Railway” when it began in 1912, and should remain for the people — not cops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/chrisarvinsf/status/1267692093754896384\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During Sunday’s peaceful protest in support of black lives, I saw a police officer aim a rubber bullet gun directly at a woman who had her hands up,” Arvin told KQED. He also \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/chrisarvinsf/status/1270060589612544000\">tweeted a photo\u003c/a> of that moment. “Public transit buses should be solely for the benefit of riders, serving their transit needs, not to aid another agency in bringing weapons to a peaceful event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even SFPD hasn’t kicked up a fuss about the move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize we are all in the midst of a difficult, emotionally charged time as we come to terms with painful truths about the kind of policing that took George Floyd’s life in Minneapolis,” SFPD Sgt. Michael Andraychak said in a statement. “SFPD’s commitment to the safety and First Amendment rights of those we serve remains undiminished, of course, and we’ve adjusted our transportation and operations accordingly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some are already praising the decision publicly, the decision is actually a reversal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Major U-turn\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Only one week ago, Muni leadership said the agency would continue to transport police to demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to the SFMTA Board of Directors during their public meeting last Tuesday, Jeffrey Tumlin, director of SFMTA, said he was surprised to learn Muni buses were used to transport police, which he only learned after a photo of a bus transporting police was tweeted by this KQED reporter. Tumlin was swiftly met with criticism by Muni riders and his own staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Two days ago, I learned from social media that our Muni buses are being used to transport police officers. This is apparently something the agency has been doing for many years,” Tumlin told the SFMTA board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1267202232472068097\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He then detailed some legacy of public transit and racism, including San Francisco planners’ historical erasure of black neighborhoods, labeled as “blight,” to erect new freeways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So as I work to try to reform the horrific history within my own industry, I need to honor (SFPD) Chief Bill Scott’s leadership for structural change within his,” Tumlin added. “We’re a city department just like SFPD. SFPD officers are our colleagues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Tumlin voiced his support for police, the outrage on social media against Muni had quieted. Protesters redirected their energies to police clashes in San Francisco and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But internally, staffers from various SFMTA departments voiced their outrage to Tumlin.

Nor did they ride in on motorcycles, bicycles or even those armored vehicles — the Lenco BearCat — that have been ubiquitous in demonstrations across the United States. Instead, they arrived the way 720,000 people once traveled to work in San Francisco every day (before COVID-19, anyway) — by Muni bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a public outcry and a quieter, internal rebellion by San Francisco’s own transportation agency employees, the years-long practice will end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni buses will no longer transport police to political demonstrations about “police brutality,” the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sfmta_muni/status/1270391482080358407\">announced on Twitter\u003c/a> Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a small rebellion by a transit agency against local police, and particularly poignant after decades of mistrust between black Americans and public transportation agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was on a bus, after all, that Rosa Parks was met with racist orders to yield a seat to a white passenger in 1955 — and it was on a BART platform where Oscar Grant was shot and killed by a transit police officer as he lay unarmed on the ground in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision by Muni leadership came after turmoil both public and behind closed doors. And there are no rules in Muni’s books to prevent the practice in the future — yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Growing up in San Francisco, Muni was part of the fabric of life: going to school, going to work and, yes, part of being arrested after a protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1991, a young, junior high school-aged Simon took a 38-Geary Muni bus from Presidio Middle School to an anti-Iraq war protest downtown.

When detainees from a demonstration were loaded by the New York Police Department onto a city bus, the driver walked off, refusing to transport the protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crowds at Barclays Center, where the protesters were arrested, wildly cheered for the driver.

Sorrell, who is black, told KQED his industry is predominantly white, male and of an older generation. Sorrell grew up in Chicago without access to a car, so his love of buses and trains grew from a young age. He saw the world from the window of a train. In that light, Sorrell called Muni transporting police to a local protest “infuriating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From an optics standpoint, and from a personal standpoint, it’s disappointing that the one thing that is supposed to connect our communities together is being used as a tool to stifle our freedoms of speech and assembly,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sorrell was not the only one to express outrage online. Chris Arvin is a prominent figure in the world of local transit lovers, known for his cherubic happy-faced bus and train art which he sells as pins and shirts online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marshaling his thousands of online followers, Arvin blasted Muni for transporting police to protests. He noted that the agency was once dubbed “The People’s Railway” when it began in 1912, and should remain for the people — not cops.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tumlin was swiftly met with criticism by Muni riders and his own staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Two days ago, I learned from social media that our Muni buses are being used to transport police officers.

During one standoff, police donned gas masks in preparation for tear gas, used all three nights prior.

That night, after a line of police kept a march from entering the freeway again, some protesters broke store windows at the Santa Rosa Plaza and held a loud sideshow at the intersection of Fourth Street and Mendocino Avenue. After a brawl involving about 20 broke out, demonstrators were able to push away troublemakers, kneel in the intersection and refocus the protest on police brutality. Police then shot tear gas to break up crowds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/8029846/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monday’s protests\u003c/a> led to 27 arrests, including 17 adults and 10 juveniles. All arrestees were from Santa Rosa but one, from Petaluma. The night also led to police officers shooting more tear gas in addition to rubber bullets at demonstrators, including a local tribal leader who sustained \u003ca href=\"https://www.radical-guide.com/local-indigenous-tribal-leader-hospitalized-due-to-santa-rosa-police-department-violence/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">serious injuries to his mouth and jaw\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protests have since dwindled in size. Only eight adults were arrested in Santa Rosa on Wednesday night for curfew violations, and appeared to be arrested voluntarily, after having been given the choice to leave the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another protest is planned for 3 p.m. Friday at Old Courthouse Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

They further inflame the situation by giving police wide discretion to arrest and harass individuals exercising their First Amendment rights — as well as the media documenting this historic moment. We are outraged by the tear gas, rubber bullets and other tactics that have been used against peaceful protesters and we stand in solidarity with them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Alex Emslie, Susie Neilson, Erin Baldessari, Beth LaBerge, Anna Vignet and Gabe Meline contributed reporting for this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The letter said, in part: \"These sweeping measures, allowing police to arrest anyone outside from the early evening hours until 5 a.m., violate the First Amendment right to free speech and assembly. These vague, open-ended curfews are not only the wrong way of preventing violent offshoots from peaceful protests. They further inflame the situation by giving police wide discretion to arrest and harass individuals exercising their First Amendment rights — as well as the media documenting this historic moment. We are outraged by the tear gas, rubber bullets and other tactics that have been used against peaceful protesters and we stand in solidarity with them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
