Because there were people that looked like my uncles and aunts, that looked like my mother, my father, and then Ritchie who was not able to speak Spanish fluently, like me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It really changed my perspective of racial identification. Even as a child, I was like, “Oh, here’s a Chicano that can’t speak Spanish fluently like me that is interested in art like me.” He was deeply, deeply important — a pivotal figure for me to comprehend what it means to be a Chicano, a Latino, in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there parallels that you see in terms of Valens’ journey as an artist and yours?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was very much a presence in my young childhood, and so radically influenced my visions of what an artist can be. When he was singing, that music was meant to generate community and to generate hope and love, to bring people together, to see them in their joy.

Even as a child, I was like, “Oh, here’s a Chicano that can’t speak Spanish fluently like me that is interested in art like me.” He was deeply, deeply important — a pivotal figure for me to comprehend what it means to be a Chicano, a Latino, in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there parallels that you see in terms of Valens’ journey as an artist and yours?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was very much a presence in my young childhood, and so radically influenced my visions of what an artist can be. When he was singing, that music was meant to generate community and to generate hope and love, to bring people together, to see them in their joy.

But while she's is going for gold in Japan, there was a good decade when this moment didn’t seem likely at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because Stevens developed an eating disorder in high school that made her step away from the sport in college.

Then she transferred to San Jose State University and joined the Spartans' women's cross-country team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, she quit race walking professionally to put distance between her and the toxic cycle of training, diet and struggling with her appearance. Stevens graduated San Jose State with an arts degree in 2007 and worked in a series of office jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stevens says her recovery began with the decision to remove herself from her sport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For starters, she was able to eat like a non-athlete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I will always have to manage it, and be conscious that it’s something that can be slipped into easily,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, she took her golden retriever out for runs, and stayed in touch with friends and coaches from the race walking universe. A former teammate from San Jose State invited her to join the \u003ca href=\"https://runwolfpack.blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wolfpack Running Club\u003c/a> in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11882015,news_11660424,news_11776340\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\"It was something fun to do.

Silva also used a Taser on Chong, who was apparently mentally ill and was refusing the officer's orders to give his real name and birthdate, but the stun gun malfunctioned, according to police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Warning, this video contains graphic imagery and language.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nhttps://youtu.be/BLIC3gaAiBc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then-university Police Chief Peter Decena and his command staff, while voicing concern about the violence, ultimately decided that the force Silva used was within department policy and training, according to records released by the school. But the college overrode that decision after launching its own investigation following Chong's lawsuit over the encounter. Chong later won a $950,000 settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silva appealed his dismissal and a state personnel board ordered him to be reinstated over the objection of the university, which argued that the arrest was an “egregious example of excessive force.” He resigned from San Jose State's police force on Oct. 1, 2018 -- after starting his new job a week earlier in Los Gatos, where Decena had become police chief a few months earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silva was also the subject of a separate excessive force lawsuit settled last year for $59,900. A former student alleged Silva and another officer smashed his face into the concrete outside a campus concert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Gatos resident Claud Xiao said Silva's resignation resolves his concerns about that particular officer being on the force, but he said he still has larger questions that the town manager has not responded to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we still need to get a lot more transparency about the hiring procedures and the hiring decision-making,\" he said.[aside tag='police-records' hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/Police-Art_1-1.gif\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/police-records\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many Los Gatos and Monte Sereno \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11760061/los-gatos-town-leaders-defend-officers-hiring-amid-residents-questions-on-violent-arrest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">residents were outspoken\u003c/a> about their concerns with Silva, a more quiet contingent has surfaced to support the officer's actions at the university library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Silva's supporters includes the father of a student who witnessed the 2016 confrontation and reiterated Decena's assertions that Chong was under the influence of meth and had caused a similar disturbance in the library a week earlier. The father, who asked that his name be withheld because he still has a child attending the university, said Silva was protecting the public from a serial offender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attempts to contact Silva have been unsuccessful. Steven Welty, the attorney who represented Silva in his appeal, echoed the state board's reinstatement ruling and said in an interview earlier this month that Silva \"did absolutely nothing wrong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Silva got called to the scene of that to deal with him and ended up in a physical struggle that lasted more than four minutes, most of it by himself with no assistance. So the fact that he didn't come out of it severely injured or killed is actually fortunate,\" Welty said. \"He did everything exactly the way he was supposed to. The tragedy here is that the university ... had an outstanding officer, a young officer, exactly the kind of person that you want.
