Photo from Voce Communications via Streetsblog SF \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Voce Communications )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bicycle advocates are accusing the San Francisco Police Department of shoddy evidence-gathering in the case of a bicyclist who was killed by a big-rig driver on a SoMa street earlier this month. They say it might be part of a troubling pattern of police bias against bike riders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 14, Amelie Le Moullac, 24, was on her way to work, traveling east in the bike lane on Folsom Street, when she was struck and killed by a truck making a right turn onto Sixth Street. It was the third death of a bicyclist hit by a vehicle this year. All of the crashes have happened in or near SoMa and have involved trucks. None of the drivers has been cited or charged, according to bike advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week after the crash that killed Le Moullac, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition (SFBC) held a memorial and safety event near the crash site. They gathered signatures for a petition to Mayor Ed Lee to make “some much needed and overdue changes” to SoMa streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the event, San Francisco police \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzLInp_Hs9g\">Sgt.

Amos Brown, president of the San Francisco chapter of the NAACP, said the three arresting officers were white--a detail the Police Department would not confirm Friday afternoon. He condemned the episode as racial profiling and demanded Mayor Ed Lee and other city leaders launch an investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident, which police say is under investigation by the department's Internal Affairs Division, involved Officer Lorenzo Adamson Jr., a 15-year veteran officer. A department spokesperson who declined to be recorded for broadcast or to be quoted by name told KQED reporter Charla Bear that Adamson was pulled over at about 8:20 p.m. Thursday near Third Street and Newcomb Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood. The spokesperson said two officers made the initial stop because Adamson was driving a car with no license plates and because the vehicle had dark-tinted front passenger's and driver's windows. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokesperson said Adamson carried no personal identification, was in possession of a firearm, and became \"non-compliant\" after the stop. \"Apparently Officer Adamson is a very large male,\" the spokesperson said, \"and when he became non-compliant and it deteriorated into a physical altercation, those two officers were unable to handcuff and detain Officer Adamson, so they requested additional units to come and assist.\" The spokesperson said Adamson didn't identify himself as a police officer until after he was in the midst of a struggle with the arresting officers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris, who has specialized in police use-of-force cases, confirmed to KQED News that he is representing Adamson and says his client was “wrongfully beaten up” by the arresting officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NAACP's Brown said the incident was a clear case of profiling because as soon as officers stopped Adamson, one of them asked whether he was on parole. \"That is the stereotypical image that unfortunately in this nation is held of black men,\" Brown said. \"... What this officer was doing was reflecting the mentality and attitude that all black men are ex-offenders, on probation, or potential perpetrators of crime. This must stop.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also suggested that asking Adamson whether he was on parole was a violation of San Francisco Police Department rules. But the department spokesperson--again, he wouldn't be quoted by name--said it is \"common\" for officers to ask subjects they approach whether they are on probation or parole; if they are on parole or probation, then the ground rules for searches and seizures change, he said. He added that the department leaves it to officers' discretion whether to make the inquiry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident has the potential to renew a controversy over a disparity in arrest rates by race in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.baycitizen.org/news/policing/african-americans-arrested-high-rates/\">study\u003c/a> published in August 2012 by Shoshana Walter of the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), African-Americans are at least seven times more likely to be arrested than whites in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gap between the arrest rates for whites and African Americans in San Francisco is well above state and national averages, the CIR analysis found.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Amos Brown, president of the San Francisco chapter of the NAACP, said the three arresting officers were white--a detail the Police Department would not confirm Friday afternoon. He condemned the episode as racial profiling and demanded Mayor Ed Lee and other city leaders launch an investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident, which police say is under investigation by the department's Internal Affairs Division, involved Officer Lorenzo Adamson Jr., a 15-year veteran officer. A department spokesperson who declined to be recorded for broadcast or to be quoted by name told KQED reporter Charla Bear that Adamson was pulled over at about 8:20 p.m. Thursday near Third Street and Newcomb Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood. The spokesperson said two officers made the initial stop because Adamson was driving a car with no license plates and because the vehicle had dark-tinted front passenger's and driver's windows. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokesperson said Adamson carried no personal identification, was in possession of a firearm, and became \"non-compliant\" after the stop. \"Apparently Officer Adamson is a very large male,\" the spokesperson said, \"and when he became non-compliant and it deteriorated into a physical altercation, those two officers were unable to handcuff and detain Officer Adamson, so they requested additional units to come and assist.\" The spokesperson said Adamson didn't identify himself as a police officer until after he was in the midst of a struggle with the arresting officers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris, who has specialized in police use-of-force cases, confirmed to KQED News that he is representing Adamson and says his client was “wrongfully beaten up” by the arresting officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What this officer was doing was reflecting the mentality and attitude that all black men are ex-offenders, on probation, or potential perpetrators of crime. This must stop.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also suggested that asking Adamson whether he was on parole was a violation of San Francisco Police Department rules. But the department spokesperson--again, he wouldn't be quoted by name--said it is \"common\" for officers to ask subjects they approach whether they are on probation or parole; if they are on parole or probation, then the ground rules for searches and seizures change, he said. He added that the department leaves it to officers' discretion whether to make the inquiry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident has the potential to renew a controversy over a disparity in arrest rates by race in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.baycitizen.org/news/policing/african-americans-arrested-high-rates/\">study\u003c/a> published in August 2012 by Shoshana Walter of the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), African-Americans are at least seven times more likely to be arrested than whites in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gap between the arrest rates for whites and African Americans in San Francisco is well above state and national averages, the CIR analysis found.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

When the department submitted its arrest data to state authorities, it informed them that the “Chinese” category included Asian arrestees of all ethnicities, Suhr told The Bay Citizen after the meeting. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Department of Justice, however, did not appear to get the message. It recorded the Asian arrests as Chinese in its annual crime report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the 2010 census, Asians are the largest minority group in San Francisco, comprising a third of the population. Of the city’s Asians, 64 percent are of Chinese descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/BayCitizenLogo2.png\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/BayCitizenLogo2.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"BayCitizenLogo\" width=\"218\" height=\"74\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-76770\">\u003c/a>“How do we know how many Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese are arrested?” said Rudy Asercion, the executive director of the West Bay Pilipino Multi-Service Center and a member of the police department’s community outreach group for Asian American and Pacific Islanders. “Right now we have no idea if Filipinos are getting arrested in big numbers or small numbers, or what kind of intervention do we need to do. That’s the thing I’m really sorry about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recording most Asian arrestees as Chinese is just one of the data collection problems the department has faced. The Bay Citizen reported last month that for years the police department had been \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/08/14/sf-police-underreport-arrest-rates-for-latinos-asians/\">misreporting the race and ethnicity of many arrestees\u003c/a>, including classifying all Latinos as “white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police officials have blamed the inaccurate arrest data on a 40-year-old computer system that provides officers with only four categories: white, black, Chinese and other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whoever created that system – just having those four categories – I think that’s racist,” said Zheng of the Community Youth Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The misreporting, he said, likely led to a misallocation of city funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">In 2010 the SFPD reported 760 Chinese, one Japanese and nine Filipino arrests. When the department submitted its arrest data to state authorities, it informed them that the “Chinese” category included Asian arrestees of all ethnicities. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s not only the Chinese who are committing crimes and who are engaged in criminal activities,” he said. “You’re raising the crime rate for the Chinese population and minimizing the other population. Then you don’t necessarily get those resources because they think they don’t have any problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following The Bay Citizen articles, Chief Technology Officer Susan Giffin said the department wrote a computer code to convert all Chinese arrests to Asian in the data sent to Sacramento. She also told the Police Commission that the department would begin tracking and reporting the arrests of Hispanics and 17 other ethnicities, including white, black, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Suhr issued a departmentwide memo directing all officers to begin recording the race and ethnicity of everyone who is jailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to give a departmental report to this commission with the race reporting and the ethnicity reporting of all 18 ethnicities,” Suhr said. “For the city of San Francisco, this commission will know the race and ethnicity reporting of all the arrest data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department’s reporting practices have alarmed some city officials and civil rights advocates who view accurate data as a way to track use of police resources and hold the department accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of us were really shocked to learn about this issue considering we are in San Francisco, sort of part of the center of technology in the nation,” Micaela Davis, an attorney at the ACLU of Northern California, told the commission. “To learn that smaller counties in rural California have been reporting proper data and statistics on Hispanics, and we’re not because we don’t have the proper equipment was pretty shocking. I’m glad we’re paying attention to this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public defender Jeff Adachi applauded the department’s pledge to tally the race and ethnicity of arrestees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a positive development. It should have happened a long time ago,” he said in an interview. “Not having those arrest statistics, very basic information like that, is wrong. It’s outrageous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of the department’s other reporting errors, police officers were not filling in racial and ethnic categories on arrest forms when transferring arrestees to the San Francisco County Jail, interim Sheriff Vicki Hennessy said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains unclear what will happen to years of erroneous arrest data. The ACLU of Northern California and the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, a San Francisco-based nonprofit, have asked the department to fix the old statistics. Both groups relied on the data in concluding that African Americans were arrested at significantly higher rates than other races in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the police department’s computer system is still unable to track more than four categories, which means that criminal justice agencies in the same network, including the public defender’s office, the district attorney’s office and the probation department, will continue receiving incomplete data, city officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s department, however, is ahead of the curve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giffin said the ability to begin tracking 18 ethnicities is thanks to a technology upgrade this month at the sheriff’s department, which operates the jail. Every time an individual is booked into the facility, she said, deputies can choose between five racial categories and 18 different ethnicities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s department has agreed to provide the police department with data on the ethnicity of the people it arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s good to be able to get info that you need in order to make better decisions,” Sheriff Hennessey said. “It’s a value in understanding who we’re serving and who is in our jails.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Of the city’s Asians, 64 percent are of Chinese descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/BayCitizenLogo2.png\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/BayCitizenLogo2.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"BayCitizenLogo\" width=\"218\" height=\"74\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-76770\">\u003c/a>“How do we know how many Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese are arrested?” said Rudy Asercion, the executive director of the West Bay Pilipino Multi-Service Center and a member of the police department’s community outreach group for Asian American and Pacific Islanders. “Right now we have no idea if Filipinos are getting arrested in big numbers or small numbers, or what kind of intervention do we need to do. That’s the thing I’m really sorry about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recording most Asian arrestees as Chinese is just one of the data collection problems the department has faced. The Bay Citizen reported last month that for years the police department had been \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/08/14/sf-police-underreport-arrest-rates-for-latinos-asians/\">misreporting the race and ethnicity of many arrestees\u003c/a>, including classifying all Latinos as “white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police officials have blamed the inaccurate arrest data on a 40-year-old computer system that provides officers with only four categories: white, black, Chinese and other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whoever created that system – just having those four categories – I think that’s racist,” said Zheng of the Community Youth Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The misreporting, he said, likely led to a misallocation of city funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">In 2010 the SFPD reported 760 Chinese, one Japanese and nine Filipino arrests. When the department submitted its arrest data to state authorities, it informed them that the “Chinese” category included Asian arrestees of all ethnicities. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s not only the Chinese who are committing crimes and who are engaged in criminal activities,” he said. “You’re raising the crime rate for the Chinese population and minimizing the other population. Then you don’t necessarily get those resources because they think they don’t have any problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following The Bay Citizen articles, Chief Technology Officer Susan Giffin said the department wrote a computer code to convert all Chinese arrests to Asian in the data sent to Sacramento. She also told the Police Commission that the department would begin tracking and reporting the arrests of Hispanics and 17 other ethnicities, including white, black, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Suhr issued a departmentwide memo directing all officers to begin recording the race and ethnicity of everyone who is jailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to give a departmental report to this commission with the race reporting and the ethnicity reporting of all 18 ethnicities,” Suhr said. “For the city of San Francisco, this commission will know the race and ethnicity reporting of all the arrest data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department’s reporting practices have alarmed some city officials and civil rights advocates who view accurate data as a way to track use of police resources and hold the department accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of us were really shocked to learn about this issue considering we are in San Francisco, sort of part of the center of technology in the nation,” Micaela Davis, an attorney at the ACLU of Northern California, told the commission. “To learn that smaller counties in rural California have been reporting proper data and statistics on Hispanics, and we’re not because we don’t have the proper equipment was pretty shocking. I’m glad we’re paying attention to this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public defender Jeff Adachi applauded the department’s pledge to tally the race and ethnicity of arrestees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a positive development. It should have happened a long time ago,” he said in an interview. “Not having those arrest statistics, very basic information like that, is wrong. It’s outrageous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of the department’s other reporting errors, police officers were not filling in racial and ethnic categories on arrest forms when transferring arrestees to the San Francisco County Jail, interim Sheriff Vicki Hennessy said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains unclear what will happen to years of erroneous arrest data. The ACLU of Northern California and the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, a San Francisco-based nonprofit, have asked the department to fix the old statistics. Both groups relied on the data in concluding that African Americans were arrested at significantly higher rates than other races in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the police department’s computer system is still unable to track more than four categories, which means that criminal justice agencies in the same network, including the public defender’s office, the district attorney’s office and the probation department, will continue receiving incomplete data, city officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s department, however, is ahead of the curve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giffin said the ability to begin tracking 18 ethnicities is thanks to a technology upgrade this month at the sheriff’s department, which operates the jail. Every time an individual is booked into the facility, she said, deputies can choose between five racial categories and 18 different ethnicities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s department has agreed to provide the police department with data on the ethnicity of the people it arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s good to be able to get info that you need in order to make better decisions,” Sheriff Hennessey said. “It’s a value in understanding who we’re serving and who is in our jails.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In California, African Americans are four times more likely to be arrested than whites, and nationwide, about 2.4 times more likely to face arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disparity in the arrest rates is likely even larger than reported because the police department has routinely misclassified Latino arrestees as “white.” A recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/policing/story/sf-police-underreport-arrest-rates/\">Bay Citizen investigation\u003c/a> revealed that the department has classified Latino arrestees as white and Asian arrestees as “other” for at least a decade, sending the erroneous statistics to the state Department of Justice and the FBI. Department officials have blamed an outdated computer system that allows officers to only categorize individuals as white, black and other for the incorrect data.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Department of Justice report, 8,198 African Americans and 9,151 whites were arrested in San Francisco in 2010, along with 316 Hispanic adults and nine Hispanic juveniles. About 2,800 arrestees are listed as \"other.\" The Bay Citizen calculated the arrest rates based on the population of each group in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While department officials have admitted that the numbers of Latino and white arrestees are incorrect, they said that the reported statistics on African American arrests are accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee recently backed away from a “stop-and-frisk” proposal over concerns that it would unfairly target Latinos and African Americans. He instead unveiled a new plan that would involve flooding police into areas where they predict crimes will occur. As he pushes the department to reduce violent crime, civil rights advocates say the inflated statistics and disparities raise new concerns about racial profiling in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is deeply concerning on a number of levels,” said Kelli Evans, the associate director of the ACLU of Northern California. “It means that the racial disparities in arrests is even greater than what was previously reported, and those rates were already unacceptably high.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>African Americans in San Francisco are six times more likely than the reported number of whites to be arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession, eight times more likely to be arrested for violating traffic laws and nearly nine times more likely to be arrested for failing to appear at a court hearing, according to The Bay Citizen’s analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy Chief Lyn Tomioka insisted the department does not engage in racial profiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are strictly opposed to any form of biased policing, and we have policies forbidding it,” Tomioka said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Giffin, the department’s chief technology officer, said the arrest rate for African Americans may be higher because some suspects are arrested more than once in a year and because some suspects who live outside of the city commit crimes in San Francisco believing they will face fewer criminal penalties. The department did not provide any data to support those claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department has long faced accusations of racial profiling due to high African American arrest rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to those concerns, the department agreed to collect racial data from traffic stops in 2001. The department implemented a policy specifically prohibiting biased policing in 2003, after a study by the ACLU of Northern California found that San Francisco police officers pulled over African Americans and Latinos at a much higher rate than whites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007, after the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the city’s arrest rate for African Americans was the highest in the state, the city hired Lorie Fridell, an expert on racial profiling, to assess the department and train officers on techniques to prevent biased policing. Fridell trained the command staff and recommended the department institute new training for officers and supervisors. Since then, most of the commanders who received Fridell's training have left the department or have been reassigned. Two remain on the current command staff. And the department's training on biased policing remains largely unchanged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upon entering the police academy, San Francisco officers currently receive about 42 hours of “impartial policing” and “cultural competency” training, in which officers learn about the differences between racism and racial profiling and the challenges facing low-income minority communities. Every five years, officers attend state-mandated “advanced officer training,” which includes about two hours on racial profiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fridell said the department needs to direct officers and supervisors on how to identify and respond to officers engaged in racial profiling. She also said the training should show how biases effect key decisions at every level, from traffic stops and searches and detentions, to supervisor approvals. While the department teaches officers to be aware of cultural differences, Fridell said officers should learn to be aware of their biases that are unconscious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is one of the most important things that an agency needs to do,” Fridell said. “We need to get away from this notion that only ill-intentioned, racist, evil police can do biased policing. What the science tells us is that even well-intentioned police can do biased policing because their human biases impact their perceptions, and that impacts their behavior. Everybody has biases, so there needs to be top to bottom training on bias.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fridell and other criminologists interviewed by The Bay Citizen said that arrest statistics alone are not proof of biased policing. High arrest rates can be influenced by a number of factors, including socioeconomic status and geography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents of high crime neighborhoods are often scrutinized more than residents who live in less criminally active neighborhoods, criminologists said. Wealthier drug users, for example, may buy drugs inside their homes, while lower-income drug users buy on the street or in public parks, where officers can easily spot them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this summer, Lee said he was considering implementing a “stop-and-frisk” policy as a way to reduce gun violence in the city’s southeast corridor, where many African American residents live. But Lee changed his mind after protests from civil rights groups and members of the Board of Supervisors. His new public safety plan places more scrutiny on “known criminals” – parolees and probationers – and increases police presence in areas where the department predicts crime will occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminologists said the mayor’s plan may not reduce the disparity in arrest rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cops aren’t out there on marijuana patrol. They don’t care about marijuana,” said Franklin Zimring, a criminologist at UC Berkeley. “They’re making an arrest to get fingerprints, to find out if there are warrants, if these are bad guys. Because they are young minority males in a high crime area where the cops thought they were up to no good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Malia Cohen said she requested more patrol officers this summer to help reduce violence in her district, which includes Bayview-Hunters Point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't believe that an increased presence of officers at Bayview Station is synonymous with an increase in racial profiling,” Cohen wrote in an email to The Bay Citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many residents of Cohen’s district disagree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not everybody’s a suspect,” said Kevin Epps, an activist and documentary filmmaker from Bayview-Hunter’s Point, a historically African American neighborhood that has a high violent crime rate. “But the reality of it is that people come into the neighborhood like police officers that may be from a different experience, and they have all these stereotypes and misconceptions and misunderstandings and come in with the mindstate that this community is criminal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimring said the department should be concerned by the high rate of African American arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they don’t know what explanations lie behind it, then one hopes that they’re motivated to try and find out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

The department implemented a policy specifically prohibiting biased policing in 2003, after a study by the ACLU of Northern California found that San Francisco police officers pulled over African Americans and Latinos at a much higher rate than whites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007, after the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the city’s arrest rate for African Americans was the highest in the state, the city hired Lorie Fridell, an expert on racial profiling, to assess the department and train officers on techniques to prevent biased policing. Fridell trained the command staff and recommended the department institute new training for officers and supervisors. Since then, most of the commanders who received Fridell's training have left the department or have been reassigned. Two remain on the current command staff. And the department's training on biased policing remains largely unchanged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upon entering the police academy, San Francisco officers currently receive about 42 hours of “impartial policing” and “cultural competency” training, in which officers learn about the differences between racism and racial profiling and the challenges facing low-income minority communities. Every five years, officers attend state-mandated “advanced officer training,” which includes about two hours on racial profiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fridell said the department needs to direct officers and supervisors on how to identify and respond to officers engaged in racial profiling. She also said the training should show how biases effect key decisions at every level, from traffic stops and searches and detentions, to supervisor approvals. While the department teaches officers to be aware of cultural differences, Fridell said officers should learn to be aware of their biases that are unconscious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is one of the most important things that an agency needs to do,” Fridell said. “We need to get away from this notion that only ill-intentioned, racist, evil police can do biased policing. What the science tells us is that even well-intentioned police can do biased policing because their human biases impact their perceptions, and that impacts their behavior. Everybody has biases, so there needs to be top to bottom training on bias.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fridell and other criminologists interviewed by The Bay Citizen said that arrest statistics alone are not proof of biased policing. High arrest rates can be influenced by a number of factors, including socioeconomic status and geography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents of high crime neighborhoods are often scrutinized more than residents who live in less criminally active neighborhoods, criminologists said. Wealthier drug users, for example, may buy drugs inside their homes, while lower-income drug users buy on the street or in public parks, where officers can easily spot them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this summer, Lee said he was considering implementing a “stop-and-frisk” policy as a way to reduce gun violence in the city’s southeast corridor, where many African American residents live. But Lee changed his mind after protests from civil rights groups and members of the Board of Supervisors. His new public safety plan places more scrutiny on “known criminals” – parolees and probationers – and increases police presence in areas where the department predicts crime will occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminologists said the mayor’s plan may not reduce the disparity in arrest rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cops aren’t out there on marijuana patrol. They don’t care about marijuana,” said Franklin Zimring, a criminologist at UC Berkeley. “They’re making an arrest to get fingerprints, to find out if there are warrants, if these are bad guys. Because they are young minority males in a high crime area where the cops thought they were up to no good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Malia Cohen said she requested more patrol officers this summer to help reduce violence in her district, which includes Bayview-Hunters Point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't believe that an increased presence of officers at Bayview Station is synonymous with an increase in racial profiling,” Cohen wrote in an email to The Bay Citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many residents of Cohen’s district disagree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not everybody’s a suspect,” said Kevin Epps, an activist and documentary filmmaker from Bayview-Hunter’s Point, a historically African American neighborhood that has a high violent crime rate. “But the reality of it is that people come into the neighborhood like police officers that may be from a different experience, and they have all these stereotypes and misconceptions and misunderstandings and come in with the mindstate that this community is criminal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimring said the department should be concerned by the high rate of African American arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they don’t know what explanations lie behind it, then one hopes that they’re motivated to try and find out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
