"content": "\u003cp>A new rhino pregnancy at the \u003ca href=\"http://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/\">San Diego Zoo Safari Park\u003c/a> is considered a key steppingstone in the zoo’s effort to help revive the critically endangered northern white rhino subspecies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An embryo now rests inside the belly of Victoria, a southern white rhino that was brought to San Diego with five other female southern white rhinos about two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are only two northern white rhinos left on Earth — both are females, and both are incapable of giving birth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is that in the long run, it will be possible to transfer a northern white rhino embryo into a southern white rhino for gestation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a morning earlier this week, Victoria lumbered through a heavy iron gate in the off-view compound set aside for this critical rhino recovery mission. She walked into the holding area looking for a treat and a friendly pat from senior keeper Jill Van Kempen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hey, there you go,” encouraged Van Kempen, as Victoria moved into place for her weekly ultrasound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The white rhino is here at this compound for a regular checkup. And postdoctoral researcher Parker Pennington wanted to make sure the embryo she first spotted a few weeks ago is healthy and doing well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennington manipulates an ultrasound wand until it hovers over the rhino’s reproductive organs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0ZB3hQtgkQ\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Embryo Represents The Future\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The zoo’s reproductive physiologist Barbara Durrant studies the portable ultrasound screen and then lets out a delicate chuckle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has grown a lot,” Durrant said as she snaps pictures of the rhino’s insides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re calling her ‘she,’ ” she added as her smile widened. A female is welcome because she could also become a mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durrant is looking at an embryo that is just short of 2 months old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the screen you can see the fetus. We just did a crown measurement. This is the head. This is the body, and when I unfreeze it you’ll be able to see the heartbeat,” Durrant said as she flipped through the pictures and videos that were just snapped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victoria gets an ultrasound once a week — that already makes the baby one of the most watched rhino embryos ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s facing, she’s on her head,” Durrant said as she pointed out the animal’s feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The baby rhino is about 37 millimeters long, a little over an inch — about the length of a typical AA battery. Durrant turns a dial and splashes of color light up an otherwise gray ultrasound video. The machine is using Doppler technology, yes, the weather radar used to track violent storms, to make sure that blood is flowing as it should.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11668952\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11668952\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RhinoUltrasound-800x504.jpg\" alt=\"An ultrasound photo of the rhino embryo at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on May 14, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RhinoUltrasound.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RhinoUltrasound-160x101.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RhinoUltrasound-240x151.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RhinoUltrasound-375x236.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RhinoUltrasound-520x328.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An ultrasound photo of the rhino embryo at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on May 14, 2018. \u003ccite>(Kris Arciaga/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Durrant also uses a Doppler feature of the ultrasound machine to see if the blood is flowing as it should. Little explosions of red and blue indicate blood is moving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durrant and Pennington have tried artificial insemination with another rhino, but this pregnancy is the first to work using techniques developed here. Special tools had to be designed to navigate a tricky birth canal. Protocols were developed for freezing sperm so the material remains capable of fertilization and delivering the sperm at the right time is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Success Not An Accident\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Pennington said Victoria got pregnant on the first try, and that’s because there was a viable egg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We tracked that ovary. Induced her ovulation. And made that happened before we inseminated her, because of the frozen sperm we were using. We wanted to make sure it was a successful ovulation,” Pennington said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennington was not expecting to see an embryo when she examined Victoria some 18 days after the insemination attempt. But Pennington calls it a happy surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s amazing how quickly all of this happened, from these females coming in from the wild. And being trained. And now we have a pregnancy from an artificial insemination. In just a little over two years. It’s awesome,” Pennington said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/sandiegozoo/status/997179146131398656\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team is focused on making sure each of the six female rhinos in this program becomes a mom because that will be the key to helping their critically endangered cousins: the northern white rhinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the long run, in the very distant future when we are able to do embryo transfer and we have a northern white rhino embryo and we can put it into a southern white rhino for gestation. We’ll be able to follow those same landmarks of growth and development,” Durrant said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not Victoria’s first pregnancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was carrying a rhino calf when she was brought to San Diego. It was a surprise. Van Kempen, senior keeper and Victoria’s primary trainer, said the birth was dramatic but sad because the infant was stillborn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kind of have to step back and trust mother nature. You know a rhino is a big animal. And she’s protective, so we really can’t get hands-on to help her or to help that baby very often, so we sort of have to let nature take its course,” Van Kempen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nature isn’t being relied upon for conception, and San Diego researchers are giving the rhinos a big push to improve the odds of fertilization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 14 months or so, researchers will find out if the successful procedure leads to more pregnant moms and a healthy calf on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Durrant turns a dial and splashes of color light up an otherwise gray ultrasound video.

Special tools had to be designed to navigate a tricky birth canal.

We wanted to make sure it was a successful ovulation,” Pennington said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennington was not expecting to see an embryo when she examined Victoria some 18 days after the insemination attempt. But Pennington calls it a happy surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s amazing how quickly all of this happened, from these females coming in from the wild. And being trained.

After many, many decades of... knowingly and intentionally deceiving the public about their products, they are now trying to escape liability through whatever way they can,” said Democratic Assemblyman David Chiu, whose city of San Francisco was among the plaintiffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to make sure that someone is going to pay for tens of thousands of children who are being poisoned by lead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lead was a common paint ingredient in the early 20\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> century. Over time scientists found that lead exposure causes brain damage in young children. In 1951 manufacturers began putting a warning label on lead paint, and in 1978 stopped selling lead paint in the United States. But many old homes still have lead paint on the walls or windowsills. And it is dangerous when it deteriorates because children may eat paint chips or inhale toxic dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court decision -- which the state Supreme Court recently declined to review on appeal -- requires the companies to pay into a fund that would be used to clean up lead paint in homes built before 1951 in seven counties (Santa Clara, Alameda, Los Angeles, Monterey, San Mateo, Solano, Ventura) and three cities (Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco). Those jurisdictions combined are home to almost half the population of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exact amount the companies must pay is still being determined. The trial court set it at $1.15 billion to cover homes built before 1981, but the appellate court ruled that only homes built before 1951 should be covered and directed the trial court to reduce the amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11667652\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11667652\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/SherwinPaintCans-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"Sherwin Williams paint cans at a promotional event in 2015.

Sherwin Williams is one of three paint companies working to overturn a ruling that says they must pay to clean up lead paint in older homes across California. \u003ccite>(Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The ruling doesn’t require complete removal of lead paint from those homes, but says they must be fixed by sealing old paint or replacing parts of windowsills or doors. Priority for repairs goes to homes where children have been poisoned by lead, or where there’s a history of violating building codes and laws meant to prevent lead poisoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Property owners who have neglected their responsibility to those families now get a windfall abatement plan,” said Tony Dias, a lawyer for Sherwin Williams. He added that the paint companies would appeal their loss to the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Kicking Costs to Taxpayers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the ballot measure the paint companies have sponsored would reverse the ruling, block future lawsuits for similar claims, and create a bond using taxpayer funds to pay for repairing an array of environmental hazards in homes across the state -- not just the 10 places that sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $2 billion bond could be used to remedy mold and asbestos in addition to lead paint. With interest, the bond would \u003ca href=\"http://lao.ca.gov/ballot/2017/170675.pdf\">cost taxpayers\u003c/a> $3.9 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a broader solution to the problem we’re facing,” said Kendall Klingler, a spokeswoman for the ballot measure campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling is problematic for homeowners in the 10 municipalities whose houses were built between 1951 and 1981, the campaign contends, because it deems the lead paint in those homes a public nuisance but does not provide funding to abate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Overturning the court ruling will obviously benefit the paint companies but it’s really beneficial to homeowners. Right now their fates are tied as long as this court ruling stands,” Klingler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'At the end of the day, the folks that are responsible for the lead paint ought to be the ones who pay.'\u003ccite>Assemblyman Adam Gray\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It’s rare for groups that lose in court to try to overturn an unfavorable ruling on the ballot. But it’s not uncommon for interest groups lobbying for a new law in the Legislature to simultaneously launch a ballot measure drive. The threat can be used as leverage to get what they want from the Legislature instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not yet clear if that’s the goal of the paint companies here. They’ve submitted the signatures necessary to put their initiative on the November ballot and counties are now checking if they are valid. Initiative backers could pull their measure off the ballot up until June 28. They have launched a publicity campaign that calls on the Legislature to “craft a real solution” -- but so far no bills have been introduced that advance their aim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now the paint companies are working with other business interests to kill a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-lead-paint-california-legislation-20180322-story.html\">slate of bills\u003c/a> introduced by legislators from the regions that brought the lawsuit. Their bills would expand the scope of the court ruling and make it easier for people to sue over lead paint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the companies have any shot of making a deal in the Legislature, one bloc of lawmakers will be critical: \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article2597114.html\">the moderate Democrats\u003c/a> who are typically the swing vote in stand-offs between environmentalists and big business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The paint companies’ campaign has reported making payments to David Townsend, a political consultant who has close ties to the caucus of moderate Democrats. He wouldn’t talk about the strategy he’s crafting but said that generally speaking, “most organizations would rather work it out in the Legislature than pay for a big ballot measure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leader of the moderate caucus said he’s met with the paint company lobbyists but that conversations are in early stages and the issue isn’t a huge priority for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully we can come to a legislative solution that protects Californians, protects children and takes care of any homes that need to be abated,” said Assemblyman Adam Gray, a Merced Democrat. “But at the end of the day, the folks that are responsible for the lead paint ought to be the ones who pay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California’s policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

After many, many decades of... knowingly and intentionally deceiving the public about their products, they are now trying to escape liability through whatever way they can,” said Democratic Assemblyman David Chiu, whose city of San Francisco was among the plaintiffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to make sure that someone is going to pay for tens of thousands of children who are being poisoned by lead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lead was a common paint ingredient in the early 20\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> century. Over time scientists found that lead exposure causes brain damage in young children. In 1951 manufacturers began putting a warning label on lead paint, and in 1978 stopped selling lead paint in the United States. But many old homes still have lead paint on the walls or windowsills. And it is dangerous when it deteriorates because children may eat paint chips or inhale toxic dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court decision -- which the state Supreme Court recently declined to review on appeal -- requires the companies to pay into a fund that would be used to clean up lead paint in homes built before 1951 in seven counties (Santa Clara, Alameda, Los Angeles, Monterey, San Mateo, Solano, Ventura) and three cities (Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco). Those jurisdictions combined are home to almost half the population of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exact amount the companies must pay is still being determined. The trial court set it at $1.15 billion to cover homes built before 1981, but the appellate court ruled that only homes built before 1951 should be covered and directed the trial court to reduce the amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11667652\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11667652\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/SherwinPaintCans-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"Sherwin Williams paint cans at a promotional event in 2015.

Sherwin Williams is one of three paint companies working to overturn a ruling that says they must pay to clean up lead paint in older homes across California. \u003ccite>(Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The ruling doesn’t require complete removal of lead paint from those homes, but says they must be fixed by sealing old paint or replacing parts of windowsills or doors. Priority for repairs goes to homes where children have been poisoned by lead, or where there’s a history of violating building codes and laws meant to prevent lead poisoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Property owners who have neglected their responsibility to those families now get a windfall abatement plan,” said Tony Dias, a lawyer for Sherwin Williams. He added that the paint companies would appeal their loss to the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Kicking Costs to Taxpayers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the ballot measure the paint companies have sponsored would reverse the ruling, block future lawsuits for similar claims, and create a bond using taxpayer funds to pay for repairing an array of environmental hazards in homes across the state -- not just the 10 places that sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $2 billion bond could be used to remedy mold and asbestos in addition to lead paint. With interest, the bond would \u003ca href=\"http://lao.ca.gov/ballot/2017/170675.pdf\">cost taxpayers\u003c/a> $3.9 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a broader solution to the problem we’re facing,” said Kendall Klingler, a spokeswoman for the ballot measure campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling is problematic for homeowners in the 10 municipalities whose houses were built between 1951 and 1981, the campaign contends, because it deems the lead paint in those homes a public nuisance but does not provide funding to abate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Overturning the court ruling will obviously benefit the paint companies but it’s really beneficial to homeowners. Right now their fates are tied as long as this court ruling stands,” Klingler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'At the end of the day, the folks that are responsible for the lead paint ought to be the ones who pay.'\u003ccite>Assemblyman Adam Gray\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It’s rare for groups that lose in court to try to overturn an unfavorable ruling on the ballot. But it’s not uncommon for interest groups lobbying for a new law in the Legislature to simultaneously launch a ballot measure drive. The threat can be used as leverage to get what they want from the Legislature instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not yet clear if that’s the goal of the paint companies here. They’ve submitted the signatures necessary to put their initiative on the November ballot and counties are now checking if they are valid. Initiative backers could pull their measure off the ballot up until June 28. They have launched a publicity campaign that calls on the Legislature to “craft a real solution” -- but so far no bills have been introduced that advance their aim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now the paint companies are working with other business interests to kill a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-lead-paint-california-legislation-20180322-story.html\">slate of bills\u003c/a> introduced by legislators from the regions that brought the lawsuit. Their bills would expand the scope of the court ruling and make it easier for people to sue over lead paint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the companies have any shot of making a deal in the Legislature, one bloc of lawmakers will be critical: \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article2597114.html\">the moderate Democrats\u003c/a> who are typically the swing vote in stand-offs between environmentalists and big business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The paint companies’ campaign has reported making payments to David Townsend, a political consultant who has close ties to the caucus of moderate Democrats. He wouldn’t talk about the strategy he’s crafting but said that generally speaking, “most organizations would rather work it out in the Legislature than pay for a big ballot measure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leader of the moderate caucus said he’s met with the paint company lobbyists but that conversations are in early stages and the issue isn’t a huge priority for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully we can come to a legislative solution that protects Californians, protects children and takes care of any homes that need to be abated,” said Assemblyman Adam Gray, a Merced Democrat. “But at the end of the day, the folks that are responsible for the lead paint ought to be the ones who pay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Supervisor Ron Roberts was absent but said his colleagues should \"stay out of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As evidence of the support among San Diegans for joining the lawsuit, Gaspar showed reporters the correspondence the supervisors received on the matter. Letters in favor of the county siding with the federal government towered over those written by those who supported sanctuary policies, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during Tuesday's public meeting, sanctuary state advocates outnumbered supporters of the lawsuit: 12 registered their support of President Trump's administration and 40 were against it, according to Gaspar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The California Values Act (SB 54) does indeed exemplify the values of California,\" the Rev. Beth Johnson of Palomar Unitarian Universalist Fellowship told the supervisors. \"It makes our communities safer by allowing law enforcement to do their jobs by making community members feel safe to report crimes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPZlUdsQHSI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other supporters of the sanctuary law said it offers protections for immigrant families and helps keep the economy strong by recognizing the contributions of noncitizens, including their payment of taxes and their labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The threat of deportation causes negative mental health effects on immigrants and their families, said Janet Farrell of the San Diego Psychological Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Deportation causes the breakup of families,\" she said. \"The California sanctuary laws give some protection to the breakup of our immigrant families without compromising the safety of the general population.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local governments in recent weeks have taken varying approaches to weighing in on the sanctuary state issue, from adopting resolutions to voting to file lawsuits themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city council in San Juan Capistrano, for instance, recently passed a resolution against SB 54. Resolutions are largely symbolic statements of a government's stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aliso Viejo, Escondido and Mission Viejo are among the cities whose leaders have voted to file amicus briefs in support of the Trump administration's position. Such briefs are often submitted by those who have an interest in a court case but are not parties in the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted last month to join the lawsuit, while the Huntington Beach City Council voted recently to file its own suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Alamitos City Council voted to \"exempt\" the city from the sanctuary law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National attention turned to San Diego County as its leaders considered weighing in on the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision is likely to be a defining moment in the political career of Gaspar, who is running in a closely watched congressional race in a district that Democrat Hillary Clinton carried in the 2016 presidential election with just over 50 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican incumbent in the 49th District, Rep. Darrell Issa of Vista, is not seeking re-election. In 2016, he narrowly defeated Democrat Doug Applegate, who is among the candidates facing off against Gaspar in the June primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement opposed to the county's decision, state Sen. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) said the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m disappointed in the Board majority for taking this misguided action. These bills were carefully crafted to be legal and constitutional, and to protect public safety. SB 54 does not shield violent and dangerous criminals from deportation, and it does not prevent federal immigration authorities from doing their job. We’ve worked hard to bring our undocumented immigrant communities out of the shadows and into society because research shows it makes our state safer and more prosperous for all. I firmly believe California is on the right side of history and I stand by our commitment to these laws.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

"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. That doesn’t include the money dozens of local police unions around the state give to politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As cities across the nation were roiled by police killings in recent years, the Legislature quietly killed proposals to create more police accountability. Now, as California’s capital city responds to the recent killing of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11657508/demonstrators-protest-sacramento-police-fatal-shooting-of-unarmed-black-man\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stephon Clark\u003c/a>—the unarmed black man shot last month by Sacramento police who seemingly mistook the cellphone he held for a gun—some of those failed bills are being re-introduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California police shot 162 people dead last year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2017/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a tally by\u003c/a> The Washington Post—which means the state has 16 percent of the nation’s killings by police but only 12 percent of its population. 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",

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.

Now, as California’s capital city responds to the recent killing of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11657508/demonstrators-protest-sacramento-police-fatal-shooting-of-unarmed-black-man\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stephon Clark\u003c/a>—the unarmed black man shot last month by Sacramento police who seemingly mistook the cellphone he held for a gun—some of those failed bills are being re-introduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California police shot 162 people dead last year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2017/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a tally by\u003c/a> The Washington Post—which means the state has 16 percent of the nation’s killings by police but only 12 percent of its population. 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>",
