Threeyearold why were matching in these streets. How do i explain to my threeyearold what his death has done to me. How do i explain to my threeyearold another Black Man was killed by police . They killed him. Shot him in the back in Cold Blood and now hes Anger And Pain and i dont know why were shocked. Its not knew. Just more of the same. History repeats itself. And yet we never learn. Perhaps the only way to know is if we let this city burn. How do i explain to my threeyearold why im marching in these streets. Whats her name how do i explain to my threeyearold what his death has done to me . How to explain to my threeyearold another Black Man was killed by police. Summer of 2020, americas reckons. But heats be clear. This is now of policing. This is if first time he saw them. Like a Spiderman Movie this is just another movie. Pay more attention this time. Baby this is my last impression its also not the first time we tried to figure it out. In 1967, Lyndon Johnsons Administration formed the Carter Commission to find out why this keeps happening. Mostly white and mostly white, racism and racism. What did the u. S. Do with this revelation . Discovering racism is a b pro. We doubled down. More politician, more guns, more training, more dead black, brown, and indigenous folks. And more this. As you can already see parts of this show will be kbrask and hard to watch, but i really feel like with this episode its important to show whats going on out here. Weve tried to do that with respect to the victims and their families. So welcome to oakland, california, the town, my adopted home that i hope adopts me back. With a conversation around americas need for structural change, whats known as town business. Around here theres long been a call to wait for it defund the police. The fight that we had here, the Tone And Tenor for the next ten years. My friend is the cofounder of the antipolice Terror Project. Not antipolice, antipolice terror. It scared me the first time i heard the name, too. I think the thing about oakland, its the birthplace of Somebody And Something i think is outside and somebody reallyizes that the party was formed by police and that made the foundation for every single movement that weve seen in oakland. I think that weve gotten to a place where people are fed up. Terrorism, most people i see unarmed men, children, people should not be shot in the back. Oscar grant was one of those unarmed people. His killing by a Bay Area Transit Cop Kick started a whole new generation of activism. He even kick started me. And this is why many people in oakland are pay paths superficial Police Reform and instead demanding defund. When propolitician americans pro up, feliz are ven rated, they can dress like a cop at halloween. Thats not the experience i had growing up. James birch is a lawyer with a degree from georgetown, a human Rights Lawyer and a Policy Maker for atp t. The antipolice Terror Project is to find ways to communicate across that gap and we chose the Path Of Defund because the economics support our position overwhelmingly. Ok. Lets dig in. Pay attention. Defund does not mean an immediate end to police. Second thing, theres a spectrum here. On the one end, theres reform. Way on the other end, theres abolition, and even proponents of abolition recognize that theres no immediate end to police. Were not going to to go from today we have 600 Police Officers and tomorrow we have none. Thats not whats going to happen. Thats what we talk about. Like whatever reforms we can make that chip away at this current system. Here in oakland, but Oakland Police department gets almost half of our general fund. When you look at oakland in particularly all these years we were in the top one in the Country Year after year after year. So oakland, what are we paying for . So were saying defund but what were talking about is refunding our communities. Americas are some of the defundiest funders. We closed hospitals during a pandemic. Defund the police is saying cops do too many jobs. Like dealing with homelessness, substance abuse, Mental Health or patrolling the halls of schools. One theory and there are more than a few says wait a minute, why dont we take some of that money back and give it to people who are in charge of those issues. At the same time lets put money back into a program that Build Public Safety and build an economy for everyone. Thats defund 101. If this was a business, were getting 50 of our department thats failing and killing people while doing so, we would defund them immediately. Yes. Take away the current System And Investing in other systems that we think Will Surk seed. It strips that away and says, just look at the numbers. My guys an accountant. Antiriesist accountants will save us. I know to many of you defund is offensive. To others, its an idea whose time has come. Thats because we live in two separate realities in america. Why . Because racism. And in policing, racisms not a bug. Its a faech. From the very Beginning Policing was designed specifically to keep black people in check, not black criminals. Black people. Dont believe me . I brought backup. Most people think police have always been here. Its just the way the society works. Talk about that, we go back to the founding documents of policing. Professor nicky jones, uc berkeley, genius, period. The founding documents the principles of police published in 1829 when the Police Force was being established. Its on the relationship between policing and the public. What folks dont understand is that at the time the peels principles were published, it was black people. That was dictated by the other founding documents. The Barbados Slave Poll in 1661. That was the document that was basically copied and pasted into the colonies and codified in state and federal law. If were going to think about any way of really addressing the problem with policing, we have to be able to acknowledge the systemic racism that is embedded in it as a consequence of the Barbados Slave rolls. At what point do they go whoops . You see this certainly with the report. In 1968, kerner sold Two Million copies. It exposed the police as the tip of the spear, it pointed to systemic and cultural white racism at the tip of the spear. Two societies, one black, one white, separate and unequal. Theyre complice it. So they come out and they dismantle the Institution Policing and things are good after that . Dont get me started. These are not black radicals, so what must have come next must have been a revolution in transform nation. Yeah. That did not happen. What did you did see is a transformation of policing. But not the way they thought, right . We saw the militarization of the police, we saw the rise of the Warrior Cup and that is happening as the decades march on. We get to the war on drugs. We get to the war on violence. We get to the war on Terror And Policing is adapting in each moment. So we have now is the most professional, most wellarmed, most welltrained Police Department that weve had in our nations history, and yet the fundamental problems have not gone away. Whenever police do in america is put us in a permanent state of ptsd. This isnt about a good apple bad cop. Other folks understand an efficient mechanism by which distribute violence.

But will it last the whole trip . Youll have battery all day. And then more. This is different. Told you. While its all well and good to talk about policing, Activism And Defunding here, to be fair oakland is a bit of a uniform. North, its different. Unlike oakland they abandoned it in the 90s. In case youre just joining us, thats saying a lot. I came to Va Layo because i felt people werent being heard. Otis taylor spent the last three years documenting Police Violence. In 2007 there was a viral video about Police Violence against the Black Man. What the aefr has done and pointed it at bystanders. Why is this acceptable behavior for a person filming Police Violence to be threatened by an officer with a gun . That brought me up here. Once i got up here, i just started hearing all these stories. Police in this city have killed 1 people since twenty, giving Vallejo One of the highest number in the u. S. , including william mccoy, a 20yearold approached by police on a Welfare Check while he was asleep in the car with a gun. Theres a gun in his happen. What are you thinking . Hes moving. Hes not up yet. Officers are ok. After leaning forward and skrask his shoulder hes given three seconds to comply before six cops fired 55 rounds, killing him. Miss say he reached for his gun. No film ive seen shows that. Va layo is a distillation of the problems that a lot of populations i think are facing. Jeff king is a Lawyer And Teacher at uc berkeley. Hes the Founder And Ceo of open vallejo, a website focussing on transparency here in his hometown. Our first scoop was they were badges, each for every person they killed. Weve seen this as click names like grim reapers, vikings and executioners. In vallejo, theyre known in the media as the fatal 14 who are allegedly have been badges for kill s they found that 73 of Law Enforcement officers had never fired their weapon. Ever. 40 of them had been in at least one shooting and about a third of those had been in two or more. There have been 63 shootings since 2000, 30 of them fatal. Based on our data it looks like Vallejo Police have been responsible for about 10 of the homicides In The City. It took a man almost 2,000 miles away for many City Officials to act like Police Brutality was a problem. Mr. George floyd, im tired. Everybodys Killing Us. Not just black and white and just Killing Us for no reason. You have to know who the people who were killed here were. Every sentence shes spoken but she should start locally. The police is saturated with blood of people in this community. The Ramos Case just jumped out at me. Angel ramos was killed in twefb by Vallejo P. D. He was shot on his own Back Porch after a neighbor called 911 about a fight. What was your last thoughts . I was just a regular mom at home with my kids. Yeah. Got to say it. So what is your life like now that youre an activist . I find myself a lot more sad, a lot more angry. When angel was killed, the media did what the media does. They cut and paste the Police Narrative in the nightly news leaving the family in tears. She plemgs to break that when he came,t walike, yes, sir. Itsike Thereno Way this e, Happenedhe Wayhe Police happened. They were saying angel was on p of someone about to stapp them. When the Police Officer to save Someones Knife ot him. Where does that knife go . Medical examiners, they found no knife. They found a knife in the kitchen. Then it was police say Angel Ramos was threatening a 16yearold minor with a knife. Even the miner told me there was no knife. We were fighting. We have seen this dynamic play over and over as victims families cry for justice. Police describe a mayelee. He was no Angel Character Designation followed by the d. A. Bumping down the champls for the cops or more likely not pressing arges at all. It indicates that he reacted properly. The Wle System creates a in this show with my name on i i cant say somebody was murdered when clearly was i have to say killed. In October 2020 vallejo declared a state of emergcy to get E Situation in the department under control. Vallejo Police Shareef has said, quote, the Police Department takes all allegations of misconduct very seriously. We want our community to know that we are committed to creating a culture of accountability, Transparency And Discipline that draws us closer together rather than apart, end quote. And look, we are years away from knowing if these moves will actually change the department. Hopefully so, but understandably, after all this death, many in the community remain skeptical. What happened to the officer who shot your brother . He transinto cops. Thats his position. In vallejo . Uhhuh. Th is why the culture pervades. You wonder why there are systemic issues in policing. Thats what were dealing with In Vallejo and in america. Can i have both . New Dove Care protect Body Wash eliminates 99 of bacteria and moisturizes for hours two for one can i keep it .

This is not usually stuff you ask permission for, so you want to be as quick as possible. Get it up and keep it moving. Pretty much. I started this project in 2014. I was coming back from the annual vigil that they have at the bart station. They just started with our experience. It revolved into that. Yeah. Where i saw people would take it off my Facebook Page and print it out themselves. Little by little, i set up the web website. Part of what we have to do is mourn and grieve and, you know, people createins las vegass. I dont know all these stories. You sort of get reminded that its not just the ones you know. Wow. Look at this. Is that a child . Are you yeah. Wow. He was one of the children that died when there was like she was one of the young women who died. Its heartbreaking to see any killed at the hands entrusted to those entrusted to protect us. Its unthinkable that its kids. Black chimp, especially boys, grow with targets on their backs from day one. You remember that mere rice. I went to public schools. When theres overwhelmingly a population of color, the education system, a system thats supposed to be the great equalizer is actually often complicit in Mass Incars race. Jackie is the Executive Director of the black organizing project. She and her team fought to get police out of oakland schools. Oakland native Nicole Lee is the director of the urban peace league. Shes a fighter for kids that get caught in the trap of the criminal justice system. In oakland, as young as elementary school, school is policed. They have their own Police Department. Right. You have teachers trying to get paid enough to live in oak. You have students losing programs. You would think that you would have the resources to invest and your own Police Department. It just didnt make sense. What activated jackie to question the use of School Police was the 2011 killing of Rahim Brown by a brooklyn cop. People were trying to get justice for him. We decided to take a different path and look at what was happening sort of widely with the School System. Even if it doesnt lead to arrest it can lead to higher expu expulsions. It takes away your ability to especially inn a kid, do something wrong. I think their innocence gets stolen. Yeah. We spend 16,000 in our School System per student. But last year right here in this coup we spent 490,000 a year per youth to keep a kid in detention. So basically, half A Million dollars. You see officials get up and say in order to right size the system, we have to close the schools. But we have 358 beds in the joouf iljustice system. Theres 41 kids in there. Nobody is telling them to right size right size the system. Right. We want them to go to school. Were not just fighting against something. Were fighting for something. They started the bettering our School System or boss campaign, because you got to have an acronym. In 2020 Ak Nashville accomplished. We have dismantled an entire Police Department. [ cheers and applause ] and theres wouldbe proud. All these open activists, always saying crazy things like feed the kids breakfast. Thats the legacy. We need food. And we need police at a school. This is the legacy of countless oakland activists. We have to do for ourselves, because No One else is coming to help us. It is on us, but luckily, we are enough. And its art thats taken over much of the streets, on walls, on boardedup buildings. Its about doing for ourselves, too. These are our streets. This is our town. We can make sure that it reflects our spirit, our beliefs, our power, our heroes, and maybe most importantly, a god damn beauty. Stand up, oakland. Yeah. Its beautiful. I have to say that i do have a level of pride knowing that i helped a little bit with this. Like my oakland card, this is like a punch. Its on the other side, man.

Soldiers are for war and police are for, well, policing. But since swat was developed in 1965, its become harder and harder to tell the difference between cops and commandos. Each time we declare another war on social ills like the war on crime or drugs, the police become more militarized. That was definitely the Case Post 9 11 when the government formed restrictions for terrorism. People think that policies put into place after noip really impacted only the arab community or people perceived to be arab. Thats not true. Noip was a further way to. Thats why my organization got involved with the Stop Urban Show campaign. She was born and raised in san francisco. Shes the Executive Director of the arab resource center, an unapologetic abolitionist. He was, and i say was, the largest military Police Training in the world. It was taking place on the weekend of 9 11 each year and it was Training Cops and training firefighters, Training Nurses to respond to disasters as if they were at war with the community. It also brought The State Of Israel to come Train And Exchange tactics and trainings with local Law Enforcement and the emergency responders. One can have their own opinion about whats happening in palestine but yoU Cant argue that it wasnt occupied. It was important to shed light on that and for people to know that that war youre watching on tv is happening every day to the everyday people in this country. There was a point in which the police was the police and the military was the military and they werent linked the Way Theyve become linked. When we think about swat, we seem historically the intensification of swat units. 1033 program started in 1997. Its like the standard Action Movie Scene where the hero starts out with a gun and straps down with all the Military Kwi789 and weapons he can carry. Police departments have to pay the cost of shipping and they can get the stapg of their dreams and our nightmares. Its not just the tanks. Its the tactics, the training and the mentality. Remember officer friendly . I dont. We love the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies but i dont want commando to show up at my house. With you are benn Ban Shield the goal was redistribution of priorities and of money. If we were going to make our case that it needed to be funded, we needed to show them what should be funded. There is another way possible. Thats why its so extraordinary. Its definitely a new day. Even right wing people who hate to defund the miss have to talk about it. When you have words of abolition and defunding police to respond toe it, thats a win. Aliens are real, alright. Theres just too much evidence. Kill weeds not the lawn with roundup for lawns products.

Hes the Malcolm X to his mlk. This is their friend, laron. He was named chief of the Oakland Police department in 2021 after we filmed with him. They had worked together for years to improve Community Relations and Combat Gun Violence in oakland. Is this different as far as how we are in america specifically around Law Enforcement . For me, its this moment of being a Black Man in a police uniform. There are some problems, some systemic problems. Its been in policing for a very long time that you know need to be rooted out so you sit in this place like do i fit in. I ask the question, do i fit in . Im a Black Man when i put on a uniform. Yeah. And im one when i take it off. That was my followup. Some people will see me as a person in blue, they dont think i identify with even those that are protesting. I was reading about your work together and something struck me like some of the work you were doing was teaching Police Officers how to treat people like human beings. Yeah. Kind of a deep thing. I was like, isnt this something that comes up at the academy . No. Doesnt that define that its broken . This has become the policing culture. Culture is policy for breakfast. I see it as more complex than that. The reason i say that is part of what we teach in class is the impact on policing in an environment where every day you are responding to peoples emergencies, right, and the realities, studies have show, its going to have an effect on you. Right. So these are Mental Health things that need to be addressed, too. There are some Health And Wellness with Police Officers that this country has not invested in. I know parts of the show feel harsh on police. I know the current system doesnt work for many cops, either. Dealing with actual crimes, leaves cops jaded, exhausted and frustrated. Some of the calls ive had, greatest threat to my life, was the one i thought waa simple go talk too a guy. So as i approached him simply to say, heythe owner doesnt want you on theropert he immediately started pulling a n out his cket and im unprepared. I came in this profession because i cared about the community. There are officers every day making the ultimate sacrifice and i think that should be commended. I respect T Dignity of the public safety agent. Yes. But can you imagine if the size of the Police Department was the size of the Fire Department . Just like firefighters only show upo put out a fire. Uhhuh. Police officers only show up to address armed armed crimes. They used to be called out to gets Cats T the tree. Man, thats not a good use of l. That firefighter. I hope whatever side youre on you can see the violence were accidentally seeing is the 50 years since kner has shown. Weve got to imagine new systems with the peoples needs. Sometimes you might need a Police Officer, but honestly, how often . Every day In The City of oakland, a city thats 435,000 people, there are 2,000 calls a day from people who actually have emergencies, right, and would like somebody to respond and provide them a service. Isnt It A Problem they have one number to call . Right but thats the progression. Whatther numr is available . Maybe there is a number specifically for Mental Health issues. Al illnessreted or a numb to call i black guy is looking at birds in central park. Saw h looking at rds, Waed Tlet you know. Byebye. What is the next step .

I rib the Day Oscar was killed. I remember how it spread to the Bay Area. One of those protests. I remember being afraid. I remember when they were found gmt of something called involuntary manslaughter. He was murdered. Thats right. My son was murdered. Right here is where the actual bullet had traveled through Oscars Body hit the platform floor, bounced back up and went into his chance, collapsing one of his lungs. Mama wanda is Oscar Grants mother. Uncle bobby is his uncle and simon is the recently elected on to Barts Board of directors. I find out that this is the first time that shes come to the place with where her son was shot in the back and killed. Imagine whats going through her mind and what shes sacrificing to be here.

I have to keep the clear focus to remind myself no matter what, yoU Cant give up, wanda. You got to keep sharing what happened to oscar and what we need to do to end this type of things from happening again. We have an obligation to love others as we love ourselves. Thats what our nation needs. This whole thing is about love. It is. Oscar brought to the world what love looked like. He didnt just die here. He was resurrected here. His voice is still heard across this world. When Oscar Grant was killed, really felt like an Oakland Story at the time. But its a testament to the Bay Area, testament to osh Oscars Family who kept his name out there. The Bay Area is a beautiful place. Oakland is a beautiful and powerful place. Every day people are creating incredible art and ideas that will change the world, but more importantly, change our world. Imagine how many more amazing pieces of Art And World shaking ideas could be created if we just didnt have to focus so much on our survival . We didnt live in a system that not only doesnt value our lives but often actively seeks to wipe us out. You know what this is . This is joy. We could have had a whole choice. You want more of this, we need to dismantle preconceived and in some cases defund the systems that target us and refund life. Refund liberty. Refund the pursue with all of this. Go on with your bad self. Thank you. Now, dont start anything yoU Cant finish. Its a very Sbe Malt to be in Someones Bedroom late at night. What i think is. Thats a person you trust.
