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

"content": "\u003cp>Among the tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters who continue to pour into the streets of cities across the country — and the world — decrying America's long history of violent, racially unjust policing, one rallying cry has gained particular traction: 'Defund the police.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what that actually means varies widely depending on who you ask, from dismantling or flat-out abolishing existing police forces to slashing their hefty budgets and diverting those funds to social service programs, which proponents say would much better serve and protect many communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadly speaking, 'defunding the police' entails minimizing the outsize role law enforcement has come to assume in most U.S. cities as the default responder for all matters of complaints, and delegating many of those responsibilities to unarmed social workers and other behavioral health specialists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we talk about defunding the police, what we’re saying is, ‘Invest in the resources that our communities need,'” Black Lives Matter co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/5NrRIIeNFfo\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alicia Garza said recently on NBC’s “Meet the Press.\"\u003c/a> So much police response, she added, “is directed toward quality-of-life issues, homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence and conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local leaders scramble to institute police reforms — from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823629/california-legislative-leaders-back-state-sleeper-hold-ban\">banning chokeholds\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824453/state-attorney-general-calls-for-a-way-to-ban-problem-cops-other-police-reforms\">heightening accountability\u003c/a> — many activists argue those tweaks won’t ultimately fix a system they consider fundamentally unjust. Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Pricey Business\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since the 1970s, when tough-on-crime policies took hold, most U.S. cities have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/06/12/upshot/cities-grew-safer-police-budgets-kept-growing.html\">funneled an increasingly large share of their budgets\u003c/a> into public safety, often at the expense of social service and anti-poverty programs. And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved.

And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most notably, SFPD \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\">will no longer respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, such as neighbor disputes, behavioral health crises and school discipline interventions.

The city also plans to convene a committee tasked with shifting public safety resources from enforcement to prevention services, with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2020/oaklands-mid-cycle-budget-cuts-14-3-million-from-police-budget-invests-additional-50-million-to-address-racial-disparities\">eventual stated goal\u003c/a> of reducing OPD's budget by 50%.

Instead she prosecuted the schizophrenic woman who was severely injured in the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris charged Teresa Sheehan with assaulting the officers, alleging she came at them with a kitchen knife after they forced their way into her room. But the jury was not convinced. It deadlocked in favor of acquitting Sheehan on the assault charges, and found her not guilty of threatening to kill a social worker who had called the police for help to get Sheehan into a psychiatric hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody used very poor judgement in deciding to bring these charges,” said Laurie Levenson, a criminal law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If (Harris) actually looked at it and said, ‘This is a righteous case, I want to go after a mentally ill woman who was shot,’ then you question that decision.

After a legal battle that lasted several years and included arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, Sheehan won a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11129913/landmark-s-f-case-on-police-force-and-mental-illness-settles-for-1-million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$1 million settlement\u003c/a>. Her civil suit also resulted in a landmark appellate court ruling that says police must take more care when interacting with people they know have a mental illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was not involved in the civil suit. Her campaign spokesperson declined to say how involved Harris was in making decisions about the criminal case, but said she appropriately did her job in charging Sheehan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the responsibility of the District Attorney’s office to pursue accountability for individuals who may have committed assault against police officers,” Kate Waters wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over her years as district attorney and California attorney general, Harris developed a reputation for being \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-08-05/kamala-harris-police-shootings-black-lives-matter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cautious on criminal justice\u003c/a> issues and took criticism from across the political spectrum. Those on the left deride her \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/17/opinion/kamala-harris-criminal-justice.html?searchResultPosition=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for upholding wrongful convictions\u003c/a> and the death penalty, while law enforcement and moderate Democrats were upset that in 2004 she\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/diaz/article/Harris-and-the-death-penalty-years-of-13693075.php?psid=kcl0t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> declined to seek the death penalty for a man\u003c/a> who had killed a police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris recently released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/09/kamala-harris-criminal-justice-reform-1485443?nname=california-playbook&nid=00000150-384f-da43-aff2-bf7fd35a0000&nrid=00000165-d177-daa2-ade5-d17f3d560000&nlid=641189\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plan for criminal justice reform\u003c/a> that involves reversing some of her earlier positions.

She says she wants a tougher national legal standard allowing police to use deadly force only when necessary — a standard \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2019/08/newsom-signs-landmark-police-use-of-force-bill/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California just signed into law\u003c/a>. But a key part of the new state law holds officers accountable for their actions leading up to a shooting — a provision that allows officers to be prosecuted if they escalate a confrontation before it’s become deadly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Sheehan case, Harris cleared the officers of wrongdoing, and wrote an article in the San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://sfpoa.org/journal_archives/Vol_40_No_10_October_2008.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police officer union’s monthly newsletter\u003c/a> touting a judge’s decision to allow the charges against Sheehan to go to trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco District Attorney Kamala D.

Both officers have long since returned to duty, after being on administrative leave, and records show the completion of the oversight investigations stalled while a federal civil rights \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11119924/family-of-homeless-man-killed-by-sfpd-officers-files-federal-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> brought by Góngora's family was resolved.

He and Steger can be seen moving toward Góngora, and then out of view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Góngora stood up after the fourth beanbag round hit him, according to transcribed interviews with the officers and witnesses, and then charged toward Steger, who took a few steps back before he opened fire with his service weapon, a semiautomatic pistol. Steger hit Góngora twice in the torso and once in the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mellone switched from the shotgun to his handgun and also fired.

Both officers have long since returned to duty, after being on administrative leave, and records show the completion of the oversight investigations stalled while a federal civil rights \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11119924/family-of-homeless-man-killed-by-sfpd-officers-files-federal-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> brought by Góngora's family was resolved.
