Of those, only 17 percent of tenants had legal representation in 2013, and nearly 13 percent had lawyers in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen more and more people being evicted from their homes, people becoming homeless and falling into poverty, and one of the reasons is because tenants, for the most part, are unrepresented,” said Public Defender Jeff Adachi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi’s office is focused on criminal cases but he joined activists in calling on the Board of Supervisors and Mayor Ed Lee to boost eviction defense funding in the next budget. The activists say attorneys who offer pro bono help are reluctant to take cases to trial. And without the threat of trial, settlements are often watered down. Increased city funding could be used to hire more attorneys to represent tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My housing was threatened, and if it had not been for legal assistance for the elderly, I would not have my home,” said artist and Hayes Valley neighborhood activist Madeline Behrens-Brigham. “I just encourage you to appreciate what attorneys can do for a tenant in trouble.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The last line of defense\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than two decades, a small nonprofit in San Francisco’s Mid-Market neighborhood, which receives the bulk of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.beyondchron.org/articles/Mayor_Lee_to_Triple_Ellis_Eviction_Defense_Funding_11911.html\">city’s eviction defense funding\u003c/a>, has been helping poor tenants fight evictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded by tenant rights activist Miguel Wooding, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=9370\">died in 2011\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.evictiondefense.org/\">Eviction Defense Collaborative\u003c/a> prides itself on providing a pro bono attorney to any tenant sued by a landlord. It also offers rental assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not deny our services to anybody who’s being sued for eviction, ” said Tyler Macmillan, who started as a staff attorney and became executive director after Wooding’s death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a myth that it takes a long time to evict a renter in San Francisco, said Macmillan. The process can actually be very swift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It can move as fast as three weeks, from you didn’t pay your rent to you are out on the streets,” Macmillan said. “States that we consider ourselves akin to have much longer notice periods, much longer procedures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that three – or 30-day notice to pay or quit arrives on your door, panic and fear can set in. Many tenants don’t know where to turn, and some heed their landlord’s orders to leave without putting up a fight, thinking they don’t have a choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there has been an uptick in the number of middle-income tenants seeking help at the EDC’s small drop-in clinic, the vast majority of clients are low-income residents, or those living 80 percent below the city’s median income of $80,000. Many are seniors, people with disabilities and single mothers. This year alone, the collaborative is expected to handle more than 2,000 cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like other nonprofits that assist tenants, the EDC lacks resources to help everyone who walks through its doors. That’s why Macmillan, who was at the rally, wants the city to take action to help undo what he calls an unfair legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think eviction defense should always be a high priority for San Francisco,” Macmillan said. “It’s one of the smartest dollars you can spend as a city legislator in terms of what you save on homeless services, emergency services, the costs in hospital visits, or shelter visits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hear more about the Eviction Defense Collaborative:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/145057329&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cem>Note: A few \u003c/em>\u003cem>years ago, t\u003c/em>\u003cem>he author \u003c/em>\u003cem>received some\u003c/em>\u003cem> counseling at the Eviction Defense Collaborative as a tenant.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The process can actually be very swift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It can move as fast as three weeks, from you didn’t pay your rent to you are out on the streets,” Macmillan said. “States that we consider ourselves akin to have much longer notice periods, much longer procedures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that three – or 30-day notice to pay or quit arrives on your door, panic and fear can set in. Many tenants don’t know where to turn, and some heed their landlord’s orders to leave without putting up a fight, thinking they don’t have a choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there has been an uptick in the number of middle-income tenants seeking help at the EDC’s small drop-in clinic, the vast majority of clients are low-income residents, or those living 80 percent below the city’s median income of $80,000. Many are seniors, people with disabilities and single mothers. This year alone, the collaborative is expected to handle more than 2,000 cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like other nonprofits that assist tenants, the EDC lacks resources to help everyone who walks through its doors. That’s why Macmillan, who was at the rally, wants the city to take action to help undo what he calls an unfair legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think eviction defense should always be a high priority for San Francisco,” Macmillan said. “It’s one of the smartest dollars you can spend as a city legislator in terms of what you save on homeless services, emergency services, the costs in hospital visits, or shelter visits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hear more about the Eviction Defense Collaborative:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/145057329&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cem>Note: A few \u003c/em>\u003cem>years ago, t\u003c/em>\u003cem>he author \u003c/em>\u003cem>received some\u003c/em>\u003cem> counseling at the Eviction Defense Collaborative as a tenant.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Police are repeatedly requested to switch to a different radio channel to discuss the shooting, so this audio may not include all of the chatter about the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dispatch audio did not capture the sounds of the shooting, but Nieto's friend, Ben Bac Sierra, said he obtained audio of what sounds like multiple gunshots from a nearby private security camera.

He said officers, who were 75 feet from Nieto when they fired, thought the pistol-shaped, brightly colored Taser was a handgun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mission and Bernal Heights residents \u003ca href=\"http://justice4alexnieto.org/alex-story/\" target=\"_blank\">who knew Nieto\u003c/a> say it's unbelievable for him to have pointed the weapon at officers. Nieto often volunteered with neighborhood youth. He was a City College of San Francisco criminal justice student and aspiring juvenile probation officer who had interned with the city's probation department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listen to the Audio of Police Officers Responding to the Incident\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='450'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/30902557&visual=true&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/30902557'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audio surrounding the March 21 incident was obtained from \u003ca href=\"http://www.broadcastify.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Broadcastify.com\u003c/a>, which maintains an archive of San Francisco Police Department radio dispatch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But it also confirms the assertions of Nieto's family and friends that he wasn't acting erratically before he was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The radio chatter started about 7:11 p.m. on March 21. Dispatch relays a call to Ingleside Station police, describing a man \"in bright red jacket, 6'1, 200 pounds, black pants, has a gun on his hip.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police said after the incident that Nieto never had a gun, but that the caller might have mistaken his hip-holstered Taser for a handgun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About one minute, 15 seconds later, more information comes over the radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's got a gun at his hip and is pacing back and forth on the north side of the park near a chain-link fence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another minute passes and a police officer asks for an update on the call about a person with a gun in Bernal Heights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's eating chips or sunflower seeds,\" dispatch responds, apparently relaying information from the person who called police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 7:17 p.m., an officer spots someone:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hey there's a guy in a red shirt way up the hill walking toward you guys.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\u003cstrong>Common police codes\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Code 33\u003c/strong> Emergency, clear this channel\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>221\u003c/strong> Person with a gun\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>217\u003c/strong> Shooting\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Code 3\u003c/strong> Police needed, use lights, sirens\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>408\u003c/strong> Ambulance\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>909\u003c/strong> Citizen requesting interview\u003c/li>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Then another officer responds, \"I got a guy right here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And 25 seconds later, an officer shouts, \"Shots fired! Shots fired!\" Another two officers also tell dispatch that shots have been fired, and one announces an emergency \"code 33.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More police officers radio that they are responding to an incident that quickly changed from a code 221 (person with gun) to 217 (shooting).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police closed off the north side of Bernal Heights Park and cleared the way for an ambulance. They also transport two witnesses, one who they refer to as the \"original 909\" (code for a citizen requesting interview) to Ingleside Station and begin canvassing the park for other people who may have seen the shooting. Police are repeatedly requested to switch to a different radio channel to discuss the shooting, so this audio may not include all of the chatter about the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dispatch audio did not capture the sounds of the shooting, but Nieto's friend, Ben Bac Sierra, said he obtained audio of what sounds like multiple gunshots from a nearby private security camera. Nieto was pronounced dead that evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney John Burris, whose office is representing Nieto's parents in a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/14/family-of-man-slain-by-san-francisco-police-file-claim-against-the-city/\" target=\"_blank\">claim against the city\u003c/a>, said an independent viewing of Nieto's body showed at least 10 gunshot wounds, including one to Nieto's forehead. He said they had not yet obtained the dispatch tapes.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

What’s more, of the January emails, 17 were in support of keeping the parking meters, and only seven were against it.

Now parking availability is much higher, so it is easier for drivers—many of whom are likely customers of neighborhood businesses—to access commercial areas.

We have a lot more higher-pressing needs, particularly during the week during the evening rush, for example.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Reiskin's position changed last week, and he's now recommending that the entire program be repealed.

That occurred after police questioned the family for more than 30 minutes without telling them their son had been shot, the claim alleges. A family spokesman said that only after Nieto's parents refused to let police search their son's bedroom did they tell them Nieto was dead and confiscated his car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That doesn't make a lot of sense,\" Burris said of the car search. \"He was not in the car, he had not come from the car. That car was towed ... and searched without the family's permission. That obviously in many ways is a constitutional violation because the car was searched without a search warrant. But that's the treatment aspect of it that was most disturbing. There was no respect given to the family after the shooting had taken place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco police Sgt. Danielle Newman said the department would not respond to allegations in the claim and directed questions to the city attorney. She said officers involved in the shooting, whose identities have not been made public, have returned to duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The alleged response by police \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/mounting-tensions-threat-aimed-at-sfpd-linked-to-death-of-bernal-heights-man/Content?oid=2753888\" target=\"_blank\">drew sharp criticism from San Francisco Supervisor David Campos\u003c/a>, which in turn prompted a harsh reaction from the San Francisco Police Officers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the claim below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ciframe\n class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\"\n src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/218286886/content?start_page=1&view_mode=&access_key=key-1sfdj6lijwgjb2ch93j5\"\n title=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/218286886\"\n data-auto-height=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"scribd_218286886\"\n width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\n \u003ca class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__scribdShortcode__scribd_footer\"\n href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/218286886\"\n target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View this document on Scribd\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
