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.",

Porter and the court filing allege the deputies punched her in the head and the stomach, kneeled on her back and pulled her hair. She said she passed out seconds after the deputies closed the handcuffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think she’s out,” McCampbell said on the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porter, who is 5-foot-2 and 125 pounds, said she was dragged unconscious to the back of the squad car, where she came to about five minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When paramedics arrived, McCampbell is heard saying Porter fought them, was knocked out for about 20 seconds and was able to walk herself to the squad car.

He wondered why the deputies seemed to rush to detain Porter and Powell without first taking actions to deescalate the situation, especially with three young kids in the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s concerning here is the use of force,” said Alexander, a former president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. “There needs to be a full investigation conducted outside of the sheriff’s department, preferably by a district attorney’s office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the full complaint:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/21046122-nakiaportercomplaint/?embed=1&responsive=1&title=1\" title=\"NakiaPorterComplaint (Hosted by DocumentCloud)\" width=\"800\" height=\"905\" style=\"border: 1px solid #aaa; width: 100%; height: 800px; height: calc(100vh - 100px);\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-forms allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>\u003ca id=\"anchor1\">\u003c/a>Resources\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://therapyforblackgirls.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Therapy for Black Girls\u003c/a> offers a national directory of therapists who are Black women, and some of them offer sliding-scale services upon request.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://therapyforblackmen.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Therapy for Black Men\u003c/a> is a national network of culturally competent therapists and life coaches.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The \u003ca href=\"https://nqttcn.com/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network\u003c/a> offers a directory of queer and trans therapists of color and a fund for prospective clients seeking financial assistance.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",
