When the officers turned on their lights and siren to pull the car over, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=30966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">police said later\u003c/a>, the driver led them on a short chase that ended in back of an apartment building on a dead-end street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The driver, Anton Barrett, and his teen-age son got out of the car and ran. Within minutes, the unarmed Barrett had been fatally shot, then shocked with a Taser. He was one of six people killed in 2012 by Vallejo police in officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those half-dozen deadly incidents, occurring in one year in a city of fewer than 120,000 people, gave Vallejo a rate of fatal police-involved shootings dozens of times greater than the national average. The killings have prompted a stream of civil rights and wrongful death lawsuits against the city and its police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A review of those six deadly incidents shows that one member of the 91-person police force — Officer Sean Kenney — appears to have been involved in three of the fatal shootings. Even in the context of an understaffed force contending with a \u003ca href=\"http://www.timesheraldonline.com/news/ci_24831783/crimes-increased-2013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">high rate of violent crime\u003c/a>, some Vallejo residents and an independent criminal justice expert say the number of fatal shootings and the apparent repeated involvement of one officer raises questions about the department’s management and accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1379\" height=\"747\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11826901\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate.jpg 1379w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate-800x433.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate-1020x553.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate-160x87.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1379px) 100vw, 1379px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding the police shootings to Vallejo’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225176308/Violent-Crime-in-Vallejo-Calif-1985-to-2012\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">14 other homicides in 2012\u003c/a>, the police department accounted for nearly one-third of the city’s 20 homicides for the year, a statistic that shocks Franklin Zimring, a UC Berkeley law professor and director of the law school’s criminal justice research program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you were to ask me, have I ever heard in an American city of a situation in which the police force is responsible for 25 or 30 percent of total homicides in the community,” Zimring said, “the answer is I haven’t heard of that before, ever, and I would hope not to hear of it again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, the rate of fatal officer-involved shootings in Vallejo — which had about 118,000 residents — was about 38 times the national rate. The deaths have resulted in calls from Vallejo residents for the U.S. Justice Department to investigate Vallejo officers’ use of force, just as it \u003ca href=\"http://www.abqjournal.com/apd-under-fire#intro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has done with the Albuquerque Police Department\u003c/a>. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/spl/documents/apd_findings_4-10-14.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent Justice Department report found\u003c/a> that Albuquerque police, who have \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ff-albuquerque-meeting-silence-20140509-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shot and killed 25 people since 2010\u003c/a>, have engaged in a “pattern or practice of excessive force that violates the Constitution and federal law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimring said 2012 doesn’t appear to be just a statistical anomaly. Vallejo police shot and killed three people in 2013 and another one last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not merely lightning striking in 2012 — lightning keeps on striking in Vallejo,” Zimring said. “Use of lethal force, whether justified or not in individual cases, is systemically problematic in Vallejo in a way that compels a heck of a lot more attention than it’s been getting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/19/vallejo-city-manager-responds-to-questions-about-police-shootings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email response to questions\u003c/a> about fatal police shootings in Vallejo, City Manager Dan Keen said more than 75 percent of Vallejo’s homicides last year were gang-related, and police routinely encounter dangerous situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2012 and 2013, through direct contact with citizens and Vallejo Police Officers, each year, more than 200 illegal firearms were seized from individuals in Vallejo,” \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/19/vallejo-city-manager-responds-to-questions-about-police-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Keen wrote\u003c/a>. “In 2013, Vallejo Police Officers responded to hundreds of ‘shots-fired’ calls, including more than 200 shootings where individuals were victims of firearms violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the rate of fatal police shootings in Vallejo is far higher than in bigger Bay Area cities also dealing with high crime rates. In 2012, the rate of fatal officer-involved shootings per 100,000 residents by Vallejo police was 20 times the rate in both Oakland and San Francisco. In the same year, Oakland had one fatal officer-involved shooting, and San Francisco had two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1449\" height=\"749\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11826903\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate.jpg 1449w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate-800x414.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate-1020x527.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate-160x83.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1449px) 100vw, 1449px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In lawsuits resulting from the Vallejo Police Department’s fatal shootings and excessive force complaints in 2012, Officer Sean Kenney’s name appears several times. He is confirmed to have been involved in the controversial killing of a suspect in a parked car and has been named as a shooter in lawsuits involving two other fatal incidents. He is also defendant in two suits alleging he used excessive force in nonfatal confrontations with suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo Police Lt. Sid De Jesus said Kenney would not comment on any of the fatal officer-involved shooting incidents that allegedly involve him. Information about police officers’ personnel records are sealed by California law, so Kenney’s career is difficult to trace. A Napa City Police Department spokesman confirmed Kenney worked there prior to transferring to Vallejo, sometime around 2005. Kenney left that department in good standing, the spokesman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kenney left Vallejo for the Hayward Police Department in early 2010 amid layoffs, \u003ca href=\"http://www.timesheraldonline.com/ci_14416120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the Vallejo Times Herald\u003c/a>.

He says he’s seen it before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unseemly, though,” he says. “A detective may be involved in officer-involved shooting investigations, and there’s a person who does that who has cases outstanding and pending? Their credibility is called into question, but I’m not convinced the police care about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris’s office is representing the family of Anton Barrett, the 41-year-old driver of the white Lexus speeding without headlights, and the first person allegedly shot and killed by Kenney in 2012\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>May 28, 2012: The Anton Barrett Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136540\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 112px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-136540 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/Anton-Barrett-480x640.jpeg\" alt=\"Anton Barrett.

Here’s what happened next, according to the department account:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The suspect did not comply and continued running towards the officer. The officer began backing up and telling the suspect several times to show him his hands. The suspect had his hands in his waistband area of his hooded sweat jacket. The suspect reached into his pocket and pull out a dark colored metal object. The officer believed the suspect was now armed, was in fear the suspect was going to kill him or shoot other officers. The officer fired his service weapon and struck the suspect several times. The suspect fell to the sidewalk but tried to get up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer began telling the additional officers that the suspect had a gun. The suspect was immobilized by another officer who used his taser.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The dark-colored object that police say Barrett reached for turned out to be a metal wallet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all that was happening, Officers Boyce, Thompson and a police canine named Yago caught up to the younger Barrett. The lawsuit alleges Thompson ordered the dog to attack Barrett, who was unarmed. After dragging him from the bushes, Boyce threw Barrett to the ground and handcuffed him, then leaned his knee on Barrett’s head as he questioned him. Then, the suit alleges, Thompson ordered the dog to again attack the handcuffed Barrett while threatening to kill the 18-year-old and calling him a “nigger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adante Pointer, an Oakland-based civil rights attorney with the law offices of John Burris, is representing Anton Barrett and other members of his father’s family in their lawsuit against Vallejo. He said the repeated attack on the younger Barrett points to “the culture in terms of the way police are approaching how they deal with suspects and just the manner of how they’re dealing with the people of Vallejo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly two years after Barrett died, the Police Department and Solano County District Attorney’s Office have yet to conclude their review of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Sept. 2, 2012: The Mario Romero Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2012, Vallejo police officers Kenney and Dustin Joseph were on their way to a reported burglary when they spotted two black men in a parked Ford Thunderbird about a block and a half from the reported crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/223937993/Mario-Romero-Joseph-Johnson-Solano-County-District-Attorney-Letter-to-Vallejo-s-Police-Chief-13-06-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A later review of the shooting\u003c/a> by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office lays out the probable cause for Kenney and Joseph to approach Mario Romero, 23, in the driver’s seat of the Thunderbird, and its passenger, Joseph Johnson, 21 at the time: There had been a recent spike in gang-related gun violence in the area, the review says, and Kenney recalled a similar car described in one shooting incident about a month before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These were also the only two people out on the street just after 4:30 a.m., and the vehicle’s occupants “appeared shocked to see the marked Vallejo Police unit coming down the street,” according to the district attorney’s review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The review says both Joseph and Kenney exited their cruiser and Romero stepped out of the Thunderbird while reaching into his waistband. Joseph saw a gun in Romero’s hand, and Kenney saw what he thought was a movement of reaching for a gun. Both fired at Romero multiple times, and he fell back into the Thunderbird. Kenney and Joseph continued to shout for Romero to “show his hands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Romero re-emerged into view with both hands still clenched toward the center of his body like he was holding a firearm, [Officer] Kenney fired several more shots,” the district attorney’s review says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers fired a third volley of gunshots at Romero as he “started to come up looking directly at [Officer] Kenney. … These shots appeared to have an effect, as both officers saw Mr. Romero settle back and stop moving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solano County coroner said Romero was shot 30 times, including three to the head, five to the neck, six to the torso, six to his upper right extremity, nine to his upper left extremity and one to the left thigh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passenger Joseph Johnson was also shot, surviving a single bullet wound to his pelvic area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/223938746/Johnson-et-al-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-13-10-04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a federal lawsuit\u003c/a> filed against the police department, Romero’s three sisters say they were were in their home waiting for Johnson and Romero to come in. The women say they heard a commotion outside, went to a window and saw Officer Dustin Joseph open fire on the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Romero’s sisters dispute several details of the police account. While the district attorney’s review states Kenney jumped on the hood of the Thunderbird only to check the car after the shooting had stopped, the witnesses inside the house say they saw Joseph fire several rounds while standing on the hood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA’s review reports that after the shooting, Kenney went into the Thunderbird looking for the weapon he and Joseph had seen in Romero’s hands:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“He found it wedged between the center console and the rear portion of the driver’s seat, near the floorboard of the passenger area immediately behind the driver’s seat. He briefly lifted the firearm with the intent to clear it of any live ammunition, but put it back in place when he realized he was not wearing gloves and that there was blood on it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun. Police also recovered baggies of pills later determined to be methamphetamine. Romero’s toxicology report, according the DA’s review, found he had a significant amount of methamphetamine in his system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland attorney Catherine Haley, who is representing Romero’s family and Joseph Johnson, called the shooting “absolutely execution-style.” She said it’s difficult to believe Romero would continue to reach for a fake gun while police fired at least 30 .40-caliber bullets into the car. And Kenney’s handling of evidence without gloves, in a shooting he had just participated in, raises significant questions about the integrity of the investigation on which both the district attorney and the U.S. attorney’s office based their reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Kenney’s handling of evidence without gloves, in a shooting he had just participated in, raises significant questions.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s review gives far more weight to statements from the involved officers, compared with those made by civilian witnesses inside the house. Romero’s sisters tried to accompany their brother’s body and the wounded Joseph to the hospital, but were told to get back inside their house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though police knew they were there, no one interviewed them for more than two months after the shooting. That’s despite the fact both a Solano County district attorney’s investigator and Vallejo Police Lt. Sid De Jesus have said all witness statements should be taken as soon as possible after this kind of incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s review explains the credence given to the officers’ account this way :\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The statements of Mr. Romero’s sisters were all made almost ten weeks after this incident occurred. During that time, it would have been natural for them to reflect and discuss this incident. In contrast, the statements made by [Officer] Joseph and [Officer] Kenney were taken merely hours after the incident, when neither of them had a chance to speak to the other nor to any other involved person, as they were removed from the scene and sequestered almost immediately after the incident.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>De Jesus says that under orders from Vallejo Police Chief Joseph Kreins, the department will no longer comment on officer-involved shootings. Kreins issued the order after stories about fatal October 2012 shooting of Jeremiah Moore — also allegedly involving Officer Kenney. De Jesus did confirm that Kenney had been reassigned to the detective’s division, which he characterized as a “lateral movement,” not a promotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Oct. 21, 2012: The Jeremiah Moore Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136545\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 112px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-136545 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/9644_transform.jpg\" alt=\"Jeremiah Moore (Courtesy of Lisa Moore.)\" width=\"112\" height=\"150\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeremiah Moore (Courtesy of Lisa Moore.)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/04/131648/vallejo-police-killing-mystery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED reported\u003c/a> in early April that the Solano County district attorney’s review of Jeremiah Moore’s killing on Oct. 21, 2012, by Vallejo police had been ongoing for a year and a half. Neither investigators with the office nor police detectives had interviewed a witness who lived across the street from the incident and whose account contradicted key points of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_claim\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the police department’s statement on the shooting\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors called 911 after a chaotic evening in which Moore and his roommate smashed windows in their cars and were overheard saying they were about to set their home on fire. Police responded and said \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in a press release\u003c/a> that officers fatally wounded Moore after he threatened an officer with a rifle, placing it “directly against an officer’s stomach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But witness Jaime Alvarado said he saw Moore naked with nothing in his hands when he was shot by a Vallejo police officer standing about 8 to 10 feet away. Alvarado said he tried to go outside after the scene had calmed down to give a statement to police, but was told to go back inside. He was finally interviewed by district attorney’s investigators last month — a year and a half after the shooting and only after KQED had published his account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 29, Oakland civil rights attorney Michael Haddad filed a federal \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/federal-civil-rights-lawsuit-filed-in-vallejo-police-killing-of-jeremiah-moore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> against Vallejo, the police department, Chief Kreins and Kenney, whom the lawsuit names as one of perhaps several police officers who may have opened fire. Haddad also said that Alvarado’s account suggests police invented their details of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Moore shooting also suggests police escalated a situation that could have been defused if officers had approached it as a mental health call, Haddad said. He added they should have known what they were approaching because people calling 911 described naked men, running, shouting and breaking windows outside their home in a generally quiet neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t need much more information than that to know that somebody has some sort of mental disturbance,” Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haddad is also critical of California law and law-enforcement policies that make it difficult to get basic information about officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t imagine the government can just take someone’s life and not even explain why, and that’s the situation we’re living in in California,” Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “For them to be able to hide behind the law that protects police officers’ personnel information, to hide behind that law and not justify their taking of life is really abhorrent, and it’s a situation that must be changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Excessive Force Claims\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Kenney is also named in two other federal lawsuits alleging brutality in non-fatal interactions with suspects in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyrone Hicks alleged that a traffic stop on March 30 of that year quickly escalated when Kenney began choking Hicks’ passenger, Teresa Scott, just after he had been ordered out of his vehicle and handcuffed by another Vallejo officer. Hicks says he told Kenney he had no right to choke Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225180033/Tyrone-Edward-Hicks-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-Amended-Complaint-14-04-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the lawsuit\u003c/a>: “Defendant Kenney approached Plaintiff [Hicks], placed his hands around Plaintiff’s throat and began choking Plaintiff where Plaintiff could not breathe. … The choking occurred approximately for 15-20 seconds and Plaintiff was placed in a patrol car.” The second officer involved in the incident is accused of failing to intercede to stop the alleged choking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”97698f477385328fd9cc9f400df4fcd0″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit says Hicks was booked for possession of cocaine for sale, but the charges were dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spawned from a separate incident, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225181166/IDC-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-First-Amended-Complaint-14-01-14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivan Carter’s lawsuit\u003c/a> against Vallejo says he had been working with his son on Aug. 17, 2012, at a property on Indiana Street. The suit alleges that Vallejo police officers Kenney and Thompson were chasing a separate group of youths suspected of trespassing, and the officers apparently mistook Carter’s son for one in the group they had been chasing, confronting him at a cousin’s home at 640 Indiana St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers allegedly shot the unnamed minor with a Taser, then “began beating, choking, and pepper spraying” him, the suit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks and others claiming to be injured by Vallejo police say they are part of a group of residents in the city who have been subjected to a “long-standing practice, policy or custom of allowing Vallejo police officers to use excessive force.” The group is organized by Frederick Cooley, who recently settled \u003ca href=\"http://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FDCO%2020131030785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his lawsuit against the city\u003c/a> originating from a confrontation with Officers Kenney and Eric Jensen in late 2011. A Vallejo police department union newsletter says Cooley was arrested for driving a stolen car.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“This is not no new thing. They’ve been doing this for a long time, but it’s come to a head, where they’re killing unarmed individuals.”\u003ccite>Frederick Cooley, Vallejo resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Once Cooley was in handcuffs, “Sean Kenney lifted me up to my feet and Jensen took his flashlight and hit me on top of my head,” Cooley said. “Then he (Jensen) got on top of me and started beating me with the flashlight and ended up breaking my hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, Cooley said, Kenney picked him up and slammed his face into the patrol car, lacerating his chin, and closed the patrol car door on his ankles after throwing him in the back seat. When the officers got to the emergency room, Jensen told medical workers that Cooley had been injured in a car crash, according to Cooley. Cooley did crash into two parked cars, according to the police union blotter, but Cooley said that’s not how he was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he was released from the hospital, Cooley ended up in the medical facilities of Solano County Jail. “There I met almost 40 different individuals who had been housed there because of injuries they received from Vallejo PD,” he said. “So that’s what started it all. Most of us knew each other, but if we didn’t, we had something in common. Most everybody in the medical area was beat up by the police, dog bites, Tasers, beat with a baton, broken legs, ankles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooley won a legal fight compelling the Vallejo Police Department to disclose 10 years of internal affairs investigations, including any instances in which Kenney or Jensen were accused of excessive force, dishonesty or falsification of evidence. Rather than disclose the information, Vallejo settled Cooley’s case in December 2013 for $35,000, Cooley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not a bad person — I have made mistakes in the past, but right now, I think we can make this a better place to live,” said Cooley, who says he’s lived Vallejo for 30 years. “This is not no new thing. They’ve been doing this for a long time, but it’s come to a head, where they’re killing unarmed individuals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Attorney for California’s Eastern District confirmed the office had reviewed the Mario Romero shooting, and said “the facts did not present a prosecutable criminal offense for violation of federal civil rights laws.” She said the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice reached a similar conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She directed further questions to the U.S. Department of Justice about when the federal government would get involved in a police department’s use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department did not respond to phone calls and emails requesting an explanation of how it decides to investigate cities like Albuquerque, where they found a “pattern or practice of excessive force that violates the Constitution and federal law.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

When the officers turned on their lights and siren to pull the car over, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=30966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">police said later\u003c/a>, the driver led them on a short chase that ended in back of an apartment building on a dead-end street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The driver, Anton Barrett, and his teen-age son got out of the car and ran. Within minutes, the unarmed Barrett had been fatally shot, then shocked with a Taser. He was one of six people killed in 2012 by Vallejo police in officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those half-dozen deadly incidents, occurring in one year in a city of fewer than 120,000 people, gave Vallejo a rate of fatal police-involved shootings dozens of times greater than the national average. The killings have prompted a stream of civil rights and wrongful death lawsuits against the city and its police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A review of those six deadly incidents shows that one member of the 91-person police force — Officer Sean Kenney — appears to have been involved in three of the fatal shootings. Even in the context of an understaffed force contending with a \u003ca href=\"http://www.timesheraldonline.com/news/ci_24831783/crimes-increased-2013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">high rate of violent crime\u003c/a>, some Vallejo residents and an independent criminal justice expert say the number of fatal shootings and the apparent repeated involvement of one officer raises questions about the department’s management and accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1379\" height=\"747\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11826901\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate.jpg 1379w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate-800x433.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate-1020x553.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/VAllejo-murder-rate-160x87.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1379px) 100vw, 1379px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The deaths have resulted in calls from Vallejo residents for the U.S. Justice Department to investigate Vallejo officers’ use of force, just as it \u003ca href=\"http://www.abqjournal.com/apd-under-fire#intro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has done with the Albuquerque Police Department\u003c/a>. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/spl/documents/apd_findings_4-10-14.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent Justice Department report found\u003c/a> that Albuquerque police, who have \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ff-albuquerque-meeting-silence-20140509-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shot and killed 25 people since 2010\u003c/a>, have engaged in a “pattern or practice of excessive force that violates the Constitution and federal law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimring said 2012 doesn’t appear to be just a statistical anomaly. Vallejo police shot and killed three people in 2013 and another one last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not merely lightning striking in 2012 — lightning keeps on striking in Vallejo,” Zimring said. “Use of lethal force, whether justified or not in individual cases, is systemically problematic in Vallejo in a way that compels a heck of a lot more attention than it’s been getting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/19/vallejo-city-manager-responds-to-questions-about-police-shootings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email response to questions\u003c/a> about fatal police shootings in Vallejo, City Manager Dan Keen said more than 75 percent of Vallejo’s homicides last year were gang-related, and police routinely encounter dangerous situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2012 and 2013, through direct contact with citizens and Vallejo Police Officers, each year, more than 200 illegal firearms were seized from individuals in Vallejo,” \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/19/vallejo-city-manager-responds-to-questions-about-police-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Keen wrote\u003c/a>. “In 2013, Vallejo Police Officers responded to hundreds of ‘shots-fired’ calls, including more than 200 shootings where individuals were victims of firearms violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the rate of fatal police shootings in Vallejo is far higher than in bigger Bay Area cities also dealing with high crime rates. In 2012, the rate of fatal officer-involved shootings per 100,000 residents by Vallejo police was 20 times the rate in both Oakland and San Francisco. In the same year, Oakland had one fatal officer-involved shooting, and San Francisco had two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1449\" height=\"749\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11826903\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate.jpg 1449w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate-800x414.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate-1020x527.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Staffing-rate-160x83.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1449px) 100vw, 1449px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In lawsuits resulting from the Vallejo Police Department’s fatal shootings and excessive force complaints in 2012, Officer Sean Kenney’s name appears several times. He is confirmed to have been involved in the controversial killing of a suspect in a parked car and has been named as a shooter in lawsuits involving two other fatal incidents. He is also defendant in two suits alleging he used excessive force in nonfatal confrontations with suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo Police Lt. Sid De Jesus said Kenney would not comment on any of the fatal officer-involved shooting incidents that allegedly involve him. Information about police officers’ personnel records are sealed by California law, so Kenney’s career is difficult to trace. A Napa City Police Department spokesman confirmed Kenney worked there prior to transferring to Vallejo, sometime around 2005. Kenney left that department in good standing, the spokesman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kenney left Vallejo for the Hayward Police Department in early 2010 amid layoffs, \u003ca href=\"http://www.timesheraldonline.com/ci_14416120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the Vallejo Times Herald\u003c/a>.

He says he’s seen it before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unseemly, though,” he says. “A detective may be involved in officer-involved shooting investigations, and there’s a person who does that who has cases outstanding and pending? Their credibility is called into question, but I’m not convinced the police care about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris’s office is representing the family of Anton Barrett, the 41-year-old driver of the white Lexus speeding without headlights, and the first person allegedly shot and killed by Kenney in 2012\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>May 28, 2012: The Anton Barrett Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136540\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 112px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-136540 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/Anton-Barrett-480x640.jpeg\" alt=\"Anton Barrett.

Here’s what happened next, according to the department account:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The suspect did not comply and continued running towards the officer. The officer began backing up and telling the suspect several times to show him his hands. The suspect had his hands in his waistband area of his hooded sweat jacket. The suspect reached into his pocket and pull out a dark colored metal object. The officer believed the suspect was now armed, was in fear the suspect was going to kill him or shoot other officers. The officer fired his service weapon and struck the suspect several times. The suspect fell to the sidewalk but tried to get up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer began telling the additional officers that the suspect had a gun. The suspect was immobilized by another officer who used his taser.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The dark-colored object that police say Barrett reached for turned out to be a metal wallet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all that was happening, Officers Boyce, Thompson and a police canine named Yago caught up to the younger Barrett. The lawsuit alleges Thompson ordered the dog to attack Barrett, who was unarmed. After dragging him from the bushes, Boyce threw Barrett to the ground and handcuffed him, then leaned his knee on Barrett’s head as he questioned him. Then, the suit alleges, Thompson ordered the dog to again attack the handcuffed Barrett while threatening to kill the 18-year-old and calling him a “nigger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adante Pointer, an Oakland-based civil rights attorney with the law offices of John Burris, is representing Anton Barrett and other members of his father’s family in their lawsuit against Vallejo. He said the repeated attack on the younger Barrett points to “the culture in terms of the way police are approaching how they deal with suspects and just the manner of how they’re dealing with the people of Vallejo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly two years after Barrett died, the Police Department and Solano County District Attorney’s Office have yet to conclude their review of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Sept. 2, 2012: The Mario Romero Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2012, Vallejo police officers Kenney and Dustin Joseph were on their way to a reported burglary when they spotted two black men in a parked Ford Thunderbird about a block and a half from the reported crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/223937993/Mario-Romero-Joseph-Johnson-Solano-County-District-Attorney-Letter-to-Vallejo-s-Police-Chief-13-06-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A later review of the shooting\u003c/a> by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office lays out the probable cause for Kenney and Joseph to approach Mario Romero, 23, in the driver’s seat of the Thunderbird, and its passenger, Joseph Johnson, 21 at the time: There had been a recent spike in gang-related gun violence in the area, the review says, and Kenney recalled a similar car described in one shooting incident about a month before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These were also the only two people out on the street just after 4:30 a.m., and the vehicle’s occupants “appeared shocked to see the marked Vallejo Police unit coming down the street,” according to the district attorney’s review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The review says both Joseph and Kenney exited their cruiser and Romero stepped out of the Thunderbird while reaching into his waistband. Joseph saw a gun in Romero’s hand, and Kenney saw what he thought was a movement of reaching for a gun. Both fired at Romero multiple times, and he fell back into the Thunderbird. Kenney and Joseph continued to shout for Romero to “show his hands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Romero re-emerged into view with both hands still clenched toward the center of his body like he was holding a firearm, [Officer] Kenney fired several more shots,” the district attorney’s review says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers fired a third volley of gunshots at Romero as he “started to come up looking directly at [Officer] Kenney. … These shots appeared to have an effect, as both officers saw Mr. Romero settle back and stop moving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solano County coroner said Romero was shot 30 times, including three to the head, five to the neck, six to the torso, six to his upper right extremity, nine to his upper left extremity and one to the left thigh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passenger Joseph Johnson was also shot, surviving a single bullet wound to his pelvic area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/223938746/Johnson-et-al-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-13-10-04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a federal lawsuit\u003c/a> filed against the police department, Romero’s three sisters say they were were in their home waiting for Johnson and Romero to come in. The women say they heard a commotion outside, went to a window and saw Officer Dustin Joseph open fire on the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Romero’s sisters dispute several details of the police account. While the district attorney’s review states Kenney jumped on the hood of the Thunderbird only to check the car after the shooting had stopped, the witnesses inside the house say they saw Joseph fire several rounds while standing on the hood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA’s review reports that after the shooting, Kenney went into the Thunderbird looking for the weapon he and Joseph had seen in Romero’s hands:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“He found it wedged between the center console and the rear portion of the driver’s seat, near the floorboard of the passenger area immediately behind the driver’s seat. He briefly lifted the firearm with the intent to clear it of any live ammunition, but put it back in place when he realized he was not wearing gloves and that there was blood on it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun. Police also recovered baggies of pills later determined to be methamphetamine. Romero’s toxicology report, according the DA’s review, found he had a significant amount of methamphetamine in his system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland attorney Catherine Haley, who is representing Romero’s family and Joseph Johnson, called the shooting “absolutely execution-style.” She said it’s difficult to believe Romero would continue to reach for a fake gun while police fired at least 30 .40-caliber bullets into the car. And Kenney’s handling of evidence without gloves, in a shooting he had just participated in, raises significant questions about the integrity of the investigation on which both the district attorney and the U.S. attorney’s office based their reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Kenney’s handling of evidence without gloves, in a shooting he had just participated in, raises significant questions.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s review gives far more weight to statements from the involved officers, compared with those made by civilian witnesses inside the house. Romero’s sisters tried to accompany their brother’s body and the wounded Joseph to the hospital, but were told to get back inside their house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though police knew they were there, no one interviewed them for more than two months after the shooting. That’s despite the fact both a Solano County district attorney’s investigator and Vallejo Police Lt. Sid De Jesus have said all witness statements should be taken as soon as possible after this kind of incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s review explains the credence given to the officers’ account this way :\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The statements of Mr. Romero’s sisters were all made almost ten weeks after this incident occurred. During that time, it would have been natural for them to reflect and discuss this incident. In contrast, the statements made by [Officer] Joseph and [Officer] Kenney were taken merely hours after the incident, when neither of them had a chance to speak to the other nor to any other involved person, as they were removed from the scene and sequestered almost immediately after the incident.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>De Jesus says that under orders from Vallejo Police Chief Joseph Kreins, the department will no longer comment on officer-involved shootings. Kreins issued the order after stories about fatal October 2012 shooting of Jeremiah Moore — also allegedly involving Officer Kenney. De Jesus did confirm that Kenney had been reassigned to the detective’s division, which he characterized as a “lateral movement,” not a promotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Oct. 21, 2012: The Jeremiah Moore Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136545\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 112px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-136545 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/9644_transform.jpg\" alt=\"Jeremiah Moore (Courtesy of Lisa Moore.)\" width=\"112\" height=\"150\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeremiah Moore (Courtesy of Lisa Moore.)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/04/131648/vallejo-police-killing-mystery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED reported\u003c/a> in early April that the Solano County district attorney’s review of Jeremiah Moore’s killing on Oct. 21, 2012, by Vallejo police had been ongoing for a year and a half. Neither investigators with the office nor police detectives had interviewed a witness who lived across the street from the incident and whose account contradicted key points of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_claim\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the police department’s statement on the shooting\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors called 911 after a chaotic evening in which Moore and his roommate smashed windows in their cars and were overheard saying they were about to set their home on fire. Police responded and said \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in a press release\u003c/a> that officers fatally wounded Moore after he threatened an officer with a rifle, placing it “directly against an officer’s stomach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But witness Jaime Alvarado said he saw Moore naked with nothing in his hands when he was shot by a Vallejo police officer standing about 8 to 10 feet away. Alvarado said he tried to go outside after the scene had calmed down to give a statement to police, but was told to go back inside. He was finally interviewed by district attorney’s investigators last month — a year and a half after the shooting and only after KQED had published his account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 29, Oakland civil rights attorney Michael Haddad filed a federal \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/federal-civil-rights-lawsuit-filed-in-vallejo-police-killing-of-jeremiah-moore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> against Vallejo, the police department, Chief Kreins and Kenney, whom the lawsuit names as one of perhaps several police officers who may have opened fire. Haddad also said that Alvarado’s account suggests police invented their details of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Moore shooting also suggests police escalated a situation that could have been defused if officers had approached it as a mental health call, Haddad said. He added they should have known what they were approaching because people calling 911 described naked men, running, shouting and breaking windows outside their home in a generally quiet neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t need much more information than that to know that somebody has some sort of mental disturbance,” Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haddad is also critical of California law and law-enforcement policies that make it difficult to get basic information about officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t imagine the government can just take someone’s life and not even explain why, and that’s the situation we’re living in in California,” Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “For them to be able to hide behind the law that protects police officers’ personnel information, to hide behind that law and not justify their taking of life is really abhorrent, and it’s a situation that must be changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Excessive Force Claims\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Kenney is also named in two other federal lawsuits alleging brutality in non-fatal interactions with suspects in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyrone Hicks alleged that a traffic stop on March 30 of that year quickly escalated when Kenney began choking Hicks’ passenger, Teresa Scott, just after he had been ordered out of his vehicle and handcuffed by another Vallejo officer. Hicks says he told Kenney he had no right to choke Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225180033/Tyrone-Edward-Hicks-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-Amended-Complaint-14-04-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the lawsuit\u003c/a>: “Defendant Kenney approached Plaintiff [Hicks], placed his hands around Plaintiff’s throat and began choking Plaintiff where Plaintiff could not breathe. … The choking occurred approximately for 15-20 seconds and Plaintiff was placed in a patrol car.” The second officer involved in the incident is accused of failing to intercede to stop the alleged choking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit says Hicks was booked for possession of cocaine for sale, but the charges were dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spawned from a separate incident, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225181166/IDC-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-First-Amended-Complaint-14-01-14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivan Carter’s lawsuit\u003c/a> against Vallejo says he had been working with his son on Aug. 17, 2012, at a property on Indiana Street. The suit alleges that Vallejo police officers Kenney and Thompson were chasing a separate group of youths suspected of trespassing, and the officers apparently mistook Carter’s son for one in the group they had been chasing, confronting him at a cousin’s home at 640 Indiana St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers allegedly shot the unnamed minor with a Taser, then “began beating, choking, and pepper spraying” him, the suit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks and others claiming to be injured by Vallejo police say they are part of a group of residents in the city who have been subjected to a “long-standing practice, policy or custom of allowing Vallejo police officers to use excessive force.” The group is organized by Frederick Cooley, who recently settled \u003ca href=\"http://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FDCO%2020131030785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his lawsuit against the city\u003c/a> originating from a confrontation with Officers Kenney and Eric Jensen in late 2011. A Vallejo police department union newsletter says Cooley was arrested for driving a stolen car.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“This is not no new thing. They’ve been doing this for a long time, but it’s come to a head, where they’re killing unarmed individuals.”\u003ccite>Frederick Cooley, Vallejo resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Once Cooley was in handcuffs, “Sean Kenney lifted me up to my feet and Jensen took his flashlight and hit me on top of my head,” Cooley said. “Then he (Jensen) got on top of me and started beating me with the flashlight and ended up breaking my hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, Cooley said, Kenney picked him up and slammed his face into the patrol car, lacerating his chin, and closed the patrol car door on his ankles after throwing him in the back seat. When the officers got to the emergency room, Jensen told medical workers that Cooley had been injured in a car crash, according to Cooley. Cooley did crash into two parked cars, according to the police union blotter, but Cooley said that’s not how he was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he was released from the hospital, Cooley ended up in the medical facilities of Solano County Jail. “There I met almost 40 different individuals who had been housed there because of injuries they received from Vallejo PD,” he said. “So that’s what started it all. Most of us knew each other, but if we didn’t, we had something in common. Most everybody in the medical area was beat up by the police, dog bites, Tasers, beat with a baton, broken legs, ankles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooley won a legal fight compelling the Vallejo Police Department to disclose 10 years of internal affairs investigations, including any instances in which Kenney or Jensen were accused of excessive force, dishonesty or falsification of evidence. Rather than disclose the information, Vallejo settled Cooley’s case in December 2013 for $35,000, Cooley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not a bad person — I have made mistakes in the past, but right now, I think we can make this a better place to live,” said Cooley, who says he’s lived Vallejo for 30 years. “This is not no new thing. They’ve been doing this for a long time, but it’s come to a head, where they’re killing unarmed individuals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Attorney for California’s Eastern District confirmed the office had reviewed the Mario Romero shooting, and said “the facts did not present a prosecutable criminal offense for violation of federal civil rights laws.” She said the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice reached a similar conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She directed further questions to the U.S. Department of Justice about when the federal government would get involved in a police department’s use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The noise was coming from 2504 Alameda Drive, the house next door to the home of Marvin Clouse. He grabbed a video camera and went outside to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clouse says he saw his neighbors, Jason Jessie and Jeremiah Moore, smashing the windows of their own cars, parked in front of their house. The men were naked, and Jessie was calling out commands to Moore. Lisa Moore says her son's disorder gave him a tendency to follow commands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope this is right, I’m destroying everything. Destroy it, Jeremiah. I want you to destroy it,\" Jessie can be heard saying on Clouse's video. \"Windshields are the soul. Windshield is god, break it. Break through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Clouse's video is too dark to see more than occasional flashes of light.

Police officers, responding to multiple calls from the public, arrived as smoke began pouring from the upstairs bedroom window of the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_blank\">A Vallejo Police Department press release\u003c/a> said officers arrived at the scene at 1:33 a.m. and confronted a naked man, who turned out to be Jason Jessie, inside the residence. Then, the release said, a second naked man — Moore — \"appeared from the back of the interior of the house with a rifle. The man with the rifle placed the barrel of the rifle directly against an officer’s stomach. Another officer saw this and fearing for his life and the life of his fellow officer, immediately discharged his firearm at the man with the rifle. The man with the rifle fell to the floor and was taken into custody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clouse by this time was back outside with his camera rolling.

Alvarado says he went to an upstairs window, where he had a clear view of Moore's and Jessie’s front yard and porch, and he saw police arrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado describes seeing a naked man standing in the doorway across the street when the man was shot by police positioned at the bottom of the porch.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'I know, this guy who got shot, he doesn’t have a rifle in his hands.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>—Jaime Alvarado, neighbor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>He says the man was waving his arms strangely — a flailing that he couldn't seem to stop.

That’s when the officer gets, like, scared. He got the gun and shoots him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know, this guy who got shot, he doesn’t have a rifle in his hands,” Alvarado says. “The officer who was firing the shots, he was before the stairs, and the man who got shot, he was on top of the steps.” He estimated the officer was 8 to 10 feet away from the man he shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado says police then dragged Moore away from the house, “like a piece of garbage. They don’t even check if he was alive or anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado says the next morning he tried to tell an officer what he had seen, but was told to go back inside his house.

She thinks her son’s autism spectrum disorder played a direct role in the shooting. His family always knew Moore to strictly follow rules and orders, like those given by Jessie and also by police. She says his nervous twitching or flailing could easily have been mistaken for a quick hand movement just before he was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who Was Jeremiah Moore?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family photos show a young man with short hair and an easy, almost goofy smile. Lisa Moore says as an infant, her son was a wonderfully well-behaved baby who would sit quietly in a playpen for hours. It was years before the parents realized their first child was a little \u003cem>too\u003c/em> calm, and Lisa Moore says he was eventually diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Jeremiah Moore grew, his different way of seeing the world isolated him from his peers. Lisa Moore said he began speaking late, and his difficulty communicating would frustrate him, but he was never violent. She choked up remembering a time her son asked her why he never got invited to parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Moore started attending community college, “all of a sudden he just blossomed,” says his father, Eugene Moore. He pursued his interest in working with his hands and was well on his way to becoming a journeyman plumber when he was shot.

Romero died, and the DA and U.S. Attorney's office cleared the officer of any wrongdoing in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo criminal defense attorney Dan Russo is familiar with the Moore shooting, and he says he has serious doubts about the police department’s story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if this shooting was a legitimate use of deadly force, that’s something that should have been figured out a year ago,” he says. “This is why people distrust public agencies, and more important than that, Vallejo is in a really stressful situation. The last thing you want to do is lose community support, and when an investigation into a shooting takes a year and a half, without any kind of pronouncement, without any kind of information to the parties, it’s corrupting to everything. It creates a bad environment in the city. It makes the cops’ job harder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russo says he’s used to homicide cases that are filed within days of an incident, and that much of the information Moore’s parents are still seeking in order to understand what happened that night is normally made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russo also says he doesn’t see the Moore shooting as an isolated incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?containerId=googft-gviz-canvas&q=select+col4%2C+count()+from+1qVUrvNfuc5-Mcg2FrED6ejTFYbMXPi5hUTL-hv60+group+by+col4+order+by+col4+asc+limit+10&viz=GVIZ&t=COLUMN&uiversion=2&gco_forceIFrame=true&gco_hasLabelsColumn=true&gco_vAxes=%5B%7B%22title%22%3Anull%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3Anull%2C+%22min%22%3Anull%7D%2C+%22logScale%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%7B%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3Anull%2C+%22min%22%3Anull%7D%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22logScale%22%3Afalse%7D%5D&gco_useFirstColumnAsDomain=true&gco_isStacked=false&gco_booleanRole=certainty&gco_hAxis=%7B%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3Anull%2C+%22viewWindowMode%22%3Anull%2C+%22textStyle%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23222%22%2C+%22fontSize%22%3A%229%22%2C+%22bold%22%3Atrue%7D%2C+%22slantedTextAngle%22%3A30%2C+%22slantedText%22%3Atrue%7D&gco_legend=none&gco_title=Investigations+of+Officer-Involved+Shootings+Completed+by+the+Solano+County+DA+since+2008&gco_series=%7B%220%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%230000ff%22%7D%7D&gco_titleTextStyle=%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C+%22fontSize%22%3A%2216%22%2C+%22bold%22%3Atrue%7D&gco_fontName=Arial&width=640&height=300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"300\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody is going to have to take responsibility for the fact that because of cutbacks to the police department, police are less supported,” he says.

That puts Vallejo’s officer-to-population ratio at about half the national average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It creates a huge safety concern for officers,” he says. “But more importantly, it (the low police presence) creates a huge safety concern for citizens of this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Jesus says quality of life in Vallejo has suffered, and officers who elected to stay with the struggling department in the struggling city are concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano District Attorney du Bain says his office’s review of the Moore shooting is close to completion.

It’s not uncommon for cases such as this, especially a case such as this that is completely complex. A lot of people may say, 'What makes it so complex?' There’s a lot of moving parts to it. There’s a lot of extenuating issues that were involved in this. And for those that were involved with the case and read what was publicized in the paper.

The noise was coming from 2504 Alameda Drive, the house next door to the home of Marvin Clouse. He grabbed a video camera and went outside to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clouse says he saw his neighbors, Jason Jessie and Jeremiah Moore, smashing the windows of their own cars, parked in front of their house. The men were naked, and Jessie was calling out commands to Moore. Lisa Moore says her son's disorder gave him a tendency to follow commands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope this is right, I’m destroying everything. Destroy it, Jeremiah. I want you to destroy it,\" Jessie can be heard saying on Clouse's video. \"Windshields are the soul. Windshield is god, break it. Break through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Clouse's video is too dark to see more than occasional flashes of light. In the audio, however, you can hear Jason Jessie giving orders to Jeremiah Moore, and Moore responding.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/143584765&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/143584765'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disturbance continued well after midnight, and Clouse eventually taped Moore telling Jessie, “You start the fire.” At this point, Clouse says, he ran inside to call the Fire Department. Police officers, responding to multiple calls from the public, arrived as smoke began pouring from the upstairs bedroom window of the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_blank\">A Vallejo Police Department press release\u003c/a> said officers arrived at the scene at 1:33 a.m. and confronted a naked man, who turned out to be Jason Jessie, inside the residence. Then, the release said, a second naked man — Moore — \"appeared from the back of the interior of the house with a rifle. The man with the rifle placed the barrel of the rifle directly against an officer’s stomach. Another officer saw this and fearing for his life and the life of his fellow officer, immediately discharged his firearm at the man with the rifle. The man with the rifle fell to the floor and was taken into custody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clouse by this time was back outside with his camera rolling.

Alvarado says he went to an upstairs window, where he had a clear view of Moore's and Jessie’s front yard and porch, and he saw police arrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado describes seeing a naked man standing in the doorway across the street when the man was shot by police positioned at the bottom of the porch.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'I know, this guy who got shot, he doesn’t have a rifle in his hands.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>—Jaime Alvarado, neighbor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>He says the man was waving his arms strangely — a flailing that he couldn't seem to stop. He says he could clearly see the man's hands, and there was nothing in them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I heard was the officers told him to stop moving, and he can’t stop moving,” Alvarado says. “He starts shaking. That’s when the officer gets, like, scared. He got the gun and shoots him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know, this guy who got shot, he doesn’t have a rifle in his hands,” Alvarado says. “The officer who was firing the shots, he was before the stairs, and the man who got shot, he was on top of the steps.” He estimated the officer was 8 to 10 feet away from the man he shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado says police then dragged Moore away from the house, “like a piece of garbage. They don’t even check if he was alive or anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado says the next morning he tried to tell an officer what he had seen, but was told to go back inside his house. Since then, he has repeated his account to three separate private investigators working for Moore’s family, but says he has not been interviewed by district attorney's investigators or police detectives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the Vallejo Police Department and the Solano County District Attorney's office say it's a matter of policy to canvass a neighborhood for witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano County District Attorney Donald du Bain said late last month he’d be happy to take Alvarado's statement. The DA's office confirmed to KQED that while Alvarado and one of the DA's investigators have since spoken on the phone, no statement had been taken as of Tuesday afternoon, April 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason Jessie moved to Arizona in December 2012. He says now he doesn’t remember Moore having a gun when he was shot, but he doesn’t remember much about the shooting. He says his mind has “shut out” the traumatic incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had to watch it,” he says. “I was covered in blood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessie says he doesn’t remember and can’t explain the men's behavior leading up to the shooting, but he insists he and Moore used only marijuana, and he thinks Moore’s toxicology report will prove that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisa Moore’s face contorts with grief when she hears Alvarado’s description of her son’s waving hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was Jeremiah, when he was nervous,” says Moore, who lives in Santa Rosa with her husband. She thinks her son’s autism spectrum disorder played a direct role in the shooting. His family always knew Moore to strictly follow rules and orders, like those given by Jessie and also by police. She says his nervous twitching or flailing could easily have been mistaken for a quick hand movement just before he was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who Was Jeremiah Moore?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family photos show a young man with short hair and an easy, almost goofy smile. Lisa Moore says as an infant, her son was a wonderfully well-behaved baby who would sit quietly in a playpen for hours. It was years before the parents realized their first child was a little \u003cem>too\u003c/em> calm, and Lisa Moore says he was eventually diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Jeremiah Moore grew, his different way of seeing the world isolated him from his peers. Lisa Moore said he began speaking late, and his difficulty communicating would frustrate him, but he was never violent. She choked up remembering a time her son asked her why he never got invited to parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Moore started attending community college, “all of a sudden he just blossomed,” says his father, Eugene Moore. He pursued his interest in working with his hands and was well on his way to becoming a journeyman plumber when he was shot. (His union made him a journeyman posthumously.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131847\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 368px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/IMG_9041.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-131847 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/IMG_9041-640x409.jpg\" alt='Marvin Clouse shows the video he shot the night of Oct. 20, 2012, when his neighbor Jeremiah Moore was shot and killed by Vallejo police.

Only two have taken longer than Moore’s case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half of those shootings were by Vallejo police, and six occurred in 2012, a year after the city emerged from \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201303221630/b\" target=\"_blank\">bankruptcy\u003c/a> following the recession.

Witnesses say a police officer got up on the hood of a car and fired at Mario Romero and another man sitting inside the car, but the police and the DA investigation concluded the officer did not fire from the hood of the car. Romero died, and the DA and U.S. Attorney's office cleared the officer of any wrongdoing in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo criminal defense attorney Dan Russo is familiar with the Moore shooting, and he says he has serious doubts about the police department’s story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if this shooting was a legitimate use of deadly force, that’s something that should have been figured out a year ago,” he says. “This is why people distrust public agencies, and more important than that, Vallejo is in a really stressful situation. The last thing you want to do is lose community support, and when an investigation into a shooting takes a year and a half, without any kind of pronouncement, without any kind of information to the parties, it’s corrupting to everything. It creates a bad environment in the city. It makes the cops’ job harder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russo says he’s used to homicide cases that are filed within days of an incident, and that much of the information Moore’s parents are still seeking in order to understand what happened that night is normally made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russo also says he doesn’t see the Moore shooting as an isolated incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?containerId=googft-gviz-canvas&q=select+col4%2C+count()+from+1qVUrvNfuc5-Mcg2FrED6ejTFYbMXPi5hUTL-hv60+group+by+col4+order+by+col4+asc+limit+10&viz=GVIZ&t=COLUMN&uiversion=2&gco_forceIFrame=true&gco_hasLabelsColumn=true&gco_vAxes=%5B%7B%22title%22%3Anull%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3Anull%2C+%22min%22%3Anull%7D%2C+%22logScale%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%7B%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3Anull%2C+%22min%22%3Anull%7D%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22logScale%22%3Afalse%7D%5D&gco_useFirstColumnAsDomain=true&gco_isStacked=false&gco_booleanRole=certainty&gco_hAxis=%7B%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3Anull%2C+%22viewWindowMode%22%3Anull%2C+%22textStyle%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23222%22%2C+%22fontSize%22%3A%229%22%2C+%22bold%22%3Atrue%7D%2C+%22slantedTextAngle%22%3A30%2C+%22slantedText%22%3Atrue%7D&gco_legend=none&gco_title=Investigations+of+Officer-Involved+Shootings+Completed+by+the+Solano+County+DA+since+2008&gco_series=%7B%220%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%230000ff%22%7D%7D&gco_titleTextStyle=%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C+%22fontSize%22%3A%2216%22%2C+%22bold%22%3Atrue%7D&gco_fontName=Arial&width=640&height=300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"300\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody is going to have to take responsibility for the fact that because of cutbacks to the police department, police are less supported,” he says.

It’s not uncommon for cases such as this, especially a case such as this that is completely complex. A lot of people may say, 'What makes it so complex?' There’s a lot of moving parts to it. There’s a lot of extenuating issues that were involved in this. And for those that were involved with the case and read what was publicized in the paper.

The model Vallejo adopted was developed in Brazil in the 1980s, and it's been picked up in places like Chicago, New York and \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicpress.org/news/2012-12/san-francisco-to-pilot-participatory-budgeting\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professor Larry Rosenthal, from UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, said people have been thinking about direct democracy for years. “What differs here is that a city like Vallejo or wards in Chicago have actual resources,\" he said, \"and the person who was in control of those resources, or the agency, makes a decision that they no longer wish to exercise discretion in the first instance about how that money gets spent. Instead, they want the community to decide.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea is spreading. In San Jose, a city councilman is pushing for participatory budgeting. In Oakland, community activists are proposing different approaches. The Community Democracy Project, or CDP, is an all-volunteer group that meets every week at Sudo Room in downtown Oakland. Co-founder Sonya Rifkin said she wants to give residents power to decide the entire city budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Will it take a concerted effort? Yes,\" she said. \"Will it take time to work, to get in the groove of it? Yes. Will we learn a lot along the way? Yes. But is it worth it? I think so.“\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rifkin’s group hopes to put an initiative on the Oakland ballot next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Stiles of \u003ca href=\"http://openbudgetoakland.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Open Budget Oakland\u003c/a>, which creates online resources to help people make sense of city spending, said the group's new visualization tools, also known as \"civic hacking,\" help translate between city officials and the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we are trying to do is create a platform where people can easily understand the budget, “ Stiles said. “Then, based on what they see, have a more informed discussion about it and then find out how to get more involved and participate in the budget process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most cities actually have a public process right now, such as Oakland’s town hall meetings. At one of those sessions, Oakland resident Mary Forte echoed the sentiments of many residents who showed up that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There just seem like they’re always questions,” said Forte. “It’s a lot of numbers that are really complex for people to understand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Groups like CDP and Open Budget Oakland can make things clearer for voters like Forte and could involve more people in budget decisions. But UC Berkeley's Rosenthal said that the more participatory the process, the more unwieldy it can become.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These things are extraordinarily difficult to administer in total budget settings,” Rosenthal said. “We would be looking at a substantial investment of time and effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Vallejo, Monica Tipton said the large turnout that the participatory budgeting vote attracted should convince the council to ratify the citizen-approved projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They will approve it, I have confidence of that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

These projects came about as part of the city's adoption of a new civic model called \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.pbvallejo.org/\" target=\"_blank\">participatory budgeting\u003c/a>.\" The items up for a vote, totaling about $3 million, represent a small chunk of the city's budget. But Monica Tipton, who volunteered as a budget delegate, said even that small amount wasn't so easy to grapple with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98178\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/vallejo.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-98178\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/vallejo-300x197.jpg\" alt=\"Georgia Street in downtown Vallejo.

The model Vallejo adopted was developed in Brazil in the 1980s, and it's been picked up in places like Chicago, New York and \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicpress.org/news/2012-12/san-francisco-to-pilot-participatory-budgeting\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professor Larry Rosenthal, from UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, said people have been thinking about direct democracy for years. “What differs here is that a city like Vallejo or wards in Chicago have actual resources,\" he said, \"and the person who was in control of those resources, or the agency, makes a decision that they no longer wish to exercise discretion in the first instance about how that money gets spent. Instead, they want the community to decide.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In Oakland, community activists are proposing different approaches. The Community Democracy Project, or CDP, is an all-volunteer group that meets every week at Sudo Room in downtown Oakland. Co-founder Sonya Rifkin said she wants to give residents power to decide the entire city budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Will it take a concerted effort? Yes,\" she said. \"Will it take time to work, to get in the groove of it? Yes. Will we learn a lot along the way? Yes. But is it worth it?

At one of those sessions, Oakland resident Mary Forte echoed the sentiments of many residents who showed up that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There just seem like they’re always questions,” said Forte. “It’s a lot of numbers that are really complex for people to understand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Groups like CDP and Open Budget Oakland can make things clearer for voters like Forte and could involve more people in budget decisions. But UC Berkeley's Rosenthal said that the more participatory the process, the more unwieldy it can become.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These things are extraordinarily difficult to administer in total budget settings,” Rosenthal said. “We would be looking at a substantial investment of time and effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Vallejo, Monica Tipton said the large turnout that the participatory budgeting vote attracted should convince the council to ratify the citizen-approved projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They will approve it, I have confidence of that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
