Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

This was recognized during the protests and changes were implemented.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeleyside got a somewhat more refined number from Wednesday night's Police Review Commission meeting.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The National Weather Service says the system, driven by fierce jet stream winds and funneling moisture from the subtropical Pacific, will batter virtually all of Northern California with prolonged heavy rains and high winds. An exception to that statement: the Sierra Nevada above 6,000 feet elevation, where precipitation will be in the form of snow. Forecasters have posted blizzard warnings for the west slope of the mountains from Yosemite up to Mount Lassen. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/09/our-next-storm-very-windy-and-very-wet\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>An activist calls for new strategies in police protests\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(Beyond Chron)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... As occurred in the latter stages of the Occupy Movement, the focus shifts from the underlying crisis to a particular city’s police response to those protesting about the crisis. That’s called taking your eyes off the prize. Such a shift put primarily white protesters’ conflict with Berkeley or Oakland police at center stage. This diverted attention from the racially-based shooting of African-Americans. The Berkeley police’s response to protesters is now the issue, and has eclipsed a nonviolent protest against Ferguson-type racial injustice. \u003ca href=\"http://www.beyondchron.org/new-strategies-needed-police-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>SFPD awards medals to officers still under investigation for shooting \u003c/strong>\u003cem>(San Francisco Examiner)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... The first officers on the scene -- Ryan Daugherty and officer-in-training Valerie Durkin -- encountered a man waving what looked like a pistol in front of the Good Vibrations sex shop. When Freddy Martinez refused to put down the weapon and waved it in the direction of the officers, Daugherty fired his weapon, wounding Martinez and a bystander, police reported. Some 19 months after the incident, the Police Department on Nov. 12 honored both officers with Silver Medals of Valor for their actions in the incident. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/two-sfpd-officers-still-under-investigation-in-police-shooting-awarded-medals-of-valor/Content?oid=2913666\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How police shootings affect the officers involved\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(Contra Costa Times)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The incident happened seven years ago and lasted perhaps 10 seconds.

The National Weather Service says the system, driven by fierce jet stream winds and funneling moisture from the subtropical Pacific, will batter virtually all of Northern California with prolonged heavy rains and high winds. An exception to that statement: the Sierra Nevada above 6,000 feet elevation, where precipitation will be in the form of snow. Forecasters have posted blizzard warnings for the west slope of the mountains from Yosemite up to Mount Lassen. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/09/our-next-storm-very-windy-and-very-wet\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>An activist calls for new strategies in police protests\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(Beyond Chron)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... As occurred in the latter stages of the Occupy Movement, the focus shifts from the underlying crisis to a particular city’s police response to those protesting about the crisis. That’s called taking your eyes off the prize. Such a shift put primarily white protesters’ conflict with Berkeley or Oakland police at center stage. This diverted attention from the racially-based shooting of African-Americans. The Berkeley police’s response to protesters is now the issue, and has eclipsed a nonviolent protest against Ferguson-type racial injustice. \u003ca href=\"http://www.beyondchron.org/new-strategies-needed-police-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>SFPD awards medals to officers still under investigation for shooting \u003c/strong>\u003cem>(San Francisco Examiner)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... The first officers on the scene -- Ryan Daugherty and officer-in-training Valerie Durkin -- encountered a man waving what looked like a pistol in front of the Good Vibrations sex shop. When Freddy Martinez refused to put down the weapon and waved it in the direction of the officers, Daugherty fired his weapon, wounding Martinez and a bystander, police reported. Some 19 months after the incident, the Police Department on Nov. 12 honored both officers with Silver Medals of Valor for their actions in the incident. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/two-sfpd-officers-still-under-investigation-in-police-shooting-awarded-medals-of-valor/Content?oid=2913666\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How police shootings affect the officers involved\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(Contra Costa Times)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The incident happened seven years ago and lasted perhaps 10 seconds. Even now, Alex Hidas recalls every detail. A man standing in a hallway, silhouetted by a kitchen light. A gun-shaped object in the man's hand. The hand starting to rise. Silence as Hidas hesitates, thinking \"Am I really seeing this?\" before reaching for his service weapon and firing. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_27102254/impact-shooting-suspects-lingers-officers-involved\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Uber sued for allegedly pocketing phony airport fees\u003c/strong> \u003cem>(SF Weekly)\u003c/em>:\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Uber was charging its customers a $4 airport surcharge, cash never remitted to the airport, a class-action lawsuit filed last week notes.

Five dogs trained to locate historic and even prehistoric human remains assisted locals keen to pinpoint the graves and perhaps move and provide a proper burial to whatever is left of the bodies of Thomas Cowie and George Fowler. \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3227256-181/dogs-aid-search-for-rebels\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
