A little before midnight, two officers noticed that the 37-year-old Cruz didn’t have a front light on his bicycle. A patrol officer chased Cruz to a nearby yard. There, Cruz crouched behind a child’s play tunnel, and the officer struck his arm with a baton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a police report, Cruz shouted “I didn’t do anything” twice before the officer struck again. The patrolmen arrested Cruz for assaulting an officer, resisting arrest and for the missing bike light. Before taking him to jail, an ambulance brought Cruz to the hospital, a bone sticking out of his skin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2016 and 2019, Bakersfield police officers used force that broke at least 45 bones in 31 people, an analysis of public records shows. The city of Bakersfield released the documents under a\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11758000/delaying-the-inevitable-many-police-agencies-withhold-records-in-new-era-of-transparency\"> recent California law that increases transparency in policing\u003c/a>. The records released include those cases that involved serious injury or death.

They also ended up at the hospital, one with head fractures, the other a broken leg. Some of the 31 people were later convicted of serious crimes, but an analysis of police reports reveals that others had charges dismissed, or never faced charges at all. While wrestling in a pile of blankets with a 57-year-old woman who was suspected of trespassing in a Greyhound station, officers broke her wrist. And when one man allegedly violated the \u003ca href=\"https://bakersfield.municipal.codes/Code/12.56.050\">city’s curfew\u003c/a> in Martin Luther King Jr. Park, officers tased and hit him with a baton, breaking his leg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all 31 cases involving broken bones, the Bakersfield Police Department determined that none of the officers involved violated departmental policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaking a bone is a brutal act, said Bakersfield Police Sgt. Robert Pair, a spokesman for the department. But it’s also not unusual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's the unfortunate reality that force is sometimes used in defense of officers and others, and that's the world we live in,” Pair said. “I don't think that that is an alarming number at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of broken bones is disturbing to Stephanie Padilla, a staff attorney for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/sites/default/files/patterns_practices_police_excessive_force_kern_county_aclu-ca_paper.pdf\">American Civil Liberties Union\u003c/a> of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think that is high, and I do think that is a really troubling number that one out of three [serious] use-of-force cases result in broken bones,” Padilla said. “It tracks what individuals in the community have shared with us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11878038\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/matthews-bakersfield.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11878038\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/matthews-bakersfield-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/matthews-bakersfield-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/matthews-bakersfield-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/matthews-bakersfield-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/matthews-bakersfield-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/matthews-bakersfield.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traco Matthews sits in his home on May 20, 2021 in Bakersfield, California.

That would raise the department’s share to 42% of the city budget and add 28 police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council’s budget hearings are the latest venue for a public debate about the quality of policing in Bakersfield, where voters narrowly approved a 1% sales tax increase to boost funding for essential services three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city pitched the sales tax as a public safety measure, but residents of Bakersfield still disagree about how best to keep the public safe. The Police Department has proposed hiring 100 officers within three years. But it remains the target of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kget.com/news/local-news/california-department-of-justice-investigates-bakersfield-police-department/\">California Department of Justice investigation opened more than four years ago\u003c/a> by then-Attorney General Kamala Harris. Demands for policing reforms — including defunding or even \u003ca href=\"https://peoplesbudgetbako.com/about/\">abolishing the department\u003c/a> — accelerated during Black Lives Matter protests last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we stand on the precipice of a critical juncture, a critical moment here in Bakersfield and in Kern County,” said Traco Matthews, a local Black civic leader and chief program officer at the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.capk.org/\">Community Action Partnership of Kern\u003c/a>. Matthews co-chairs an independent committee convened by the City Council that has offered recommendations for police reform. “Can we get to a place where use-of-force incidents, especially serious use-of-force incidents, are less and the public is still safe? And every citizen, every resident, feels like they are part of this family of Bakersfield being protected and served by BPD? Absolutely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Multiple Layers of Review, Says Department\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Among all of the cases released by the department, internal reports concluded that the force Bakersfield police used to cause a fracture was reasonable: each dog bite, every control hold, every physical strike and every strike of the baton. Using batons, officers broke bones in 26 people; once, an officer broke the baton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following every incident, the department applied a careful review process, said Sgt. Pair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's not a carte blanche that you can use a baton, go out there and use a baton whenever you want to,” Pair said. “Each one is … scrutinized under the facts and circumstances of its own event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That scrutiny has layers. When a Bakersfield police officer uses force, the officer must report it to a supervisor, usually the sergeant on duty, according to the department’s manual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The manual then directs sergeants to ensure that the person injured receives medical treatment and to investigate the incident.

Like others provided in response to a records request, the Police Department retrieved that report from incident tracking software sold to law enforcement agencies called \u003ca href=\"https://blueteamcorp.com/\">BlueTeam\u003c/a>. In it, Cruz is described as fleeing and resisting arrest, both legal conclusions offered without support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stoughton, who testified for the prosecution at Derek Chauvin’s trial in the killing of George Floyd, said the report was “woefully inadequate” to examine an individual event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Good investigations of incidents like this are wide-ranging, he said. After-action reports should look back at what happened in detail and also look forward to offer ways to improve outcomes in the future, regardless of fault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the incident in which a Bakersfield officer broke Cruz’s bone, the sergeant’s report “does not have anywhere near the level of detail that any competent supervisor would demand to assess, even in a very cursory fashion, the incident being described,” Stoughton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you're using it as one of many data points to get a bird's-eye view, then maybe this is all you need,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Bakersfield Police Sgt. Christopher Bagby, who works in the agency’s Quality Assurance Unit, the department’s use-of-force working group uses BlueTeam data to examine the effectiveness of strategy and tactics. Late in 2019, the Quality Assurance Unit also began randomized audits of the reports themselves. Sgt. Pair said that the system will automatically alert a supervisor if one of the officers under their command is using more force than normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a sergeant sees something potentially criminal, that goes to internal affairs. That department investigates citizen complaints and also begins its own inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the 31 broken bone cases released in Bakersfield, internal affairs investigated three, the only incidents where records show citizens complained. The internal affairs office cleared every officer in those three cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police and experts say that a review process is not a disciplinary process. Rather, it’s a way for departments to see how they can adjust and improve. Reducing violence in a community includes reducing uses of force, Stoughton said. Professional agencies need to look at each incident and ask what they can learn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes the answer is there is nothing that we could realistically change here that would have any impact,” Stoughton said. “The agency can control whether officers are issued a taser, for example, or that the agency can control how long an officer’s shift is to see if they're fatigued and making bad decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11878138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-800x447.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"447\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11878138\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-800x447.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-1020x570.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-160x89.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-1536x858.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Bakersfield police vehicle makes patrols on Nov. 17, 2017 in Bakersfield, California. \u003ccite>(Frederic J.

Bakersfield police tracked him to a Vagabond Inn. When Pearson left his room for a smoke, one officer tackled Pearson to the ground in the motel parking lot. At the same time, another officer noticed Pearson “thrashing,” and struck Pearson with a baton twice, breaking his shin bone. Four years later, Pearson said he still hasn’t recovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m in constant pain, always, because of it,” Pearson said by phone from the state prison in Lancaster where he is serving a 20-year sentence for assault with a firearm. “I can’t run, I can’t play sports,” he said. “I can hardly walk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Policing experts say that batons are among the safer weapons officers carry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best thing about a baton is that officers can use it as a threat to frighten someone into compliance without striking them, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/peter-moskos\">John Jay College of Criminal Justice\u003c/a> professor Peter Moskos. Any weapon that doesn’t have to be used to make a person comply is safer “because it doesn't have to be used as much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the Bakersfield Police Department defends its use of force as judicious and skilled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t do our job without use of force,” said Sgt.

Well, we have crime running rampant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others called for the city to move more money toward services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Put the funding somewhere it can be utilized like MLK Park,” Christina Crompton urged the councilmembers on June 2. “I take my kids all the time. I go out there, I pick up trash in the park, I pick up needles in the park.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crompton, 22, told a reporter that she wants to see the funds spent on public projects instead of more police officers. Crompton’s cousin is Tatyana Hargrove, a young woman whose high-profile encounter with police in 2017 has since galvanized activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four years ago, Bakersfield police officers sought a 160-pound, 5-foot-10-inch Black man who had attempted to stab a grocery store clerk with a machete. According to police reports, officers stopped Hargrove, a 120-pound woman who was 8 inches shorter. Officers punched her, set a dog on her and put her in the back of a patrol cruiser before realizing she was a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charges against Hargrove were dropped. She lost a lawsuit for excessive force against the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community leaders like Matthews and activists like Crompton have since highlighted Hargrove’s case as an example of how excessive force costs the Police Department trust with the community as a whole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Imagine how our family felt,” Crompton said. “Do you know a pain in your chest? You know how when you’re in trouble and it gets very heavy and you can’t breathe. That’s the pain our family felt in our hearts when Tatyana was beaten by the police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These kinds of incidents make it less likely for people to report crime, Crompton said, and that makes it harder for officers to solve crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who’s going to be there to protect us at the end of the day?” Crompton asked. “Who are we going to call?

A 911 dispatcher called Gonzalez Sr., who said that his son wasn’t at the house; according to a transcript, the dispatcher then notified officers that the elder Gonzalez was coming outside to meet them. Video captured by a neighbor’s camera shows Gonzalez shuffling backward, arms raised, and lit by flashlights and a flood light in his driveway. After he kneels, officers knock him flat, then beat and knee the elder Gonzalez. Among his injuries were broken ribs.\u003cbr>\n[pullquote align=\"right\" citation=\"Arturo Gonzalez\"]'When I come outside of my house, I think about the attack.'[/pullquote]\u003cbr>\n“If this isn’t a serious bodily injury I don’t know what a serious bodily injury is,” said Thomas Seabaugh, a lawyer for Gonzalez. But Gonzalez’s case isn’t counted among the 109 cases between 2014 and 2019 the department released under the state transparency law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After realizing that they arrested the wrong man, police transported Gonzalez to Mercy Southwest Hospital in an ambulance, handcuffed to a gurney. Gonzalez was not charged with a crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No broken bones are documented in the initial police report, said Lt. Ryan Kroeker, a spokesman for the Bakersfield Police Department, who added that “there were no obvious injuries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez returned to Mercy, still complaining of pain, two days later. But it wasn’t until a week later, at his primary care physician, that X-rays revealed the extent of his injuries. After blows delivered by the officers, injuries diagnosed by at least three doctors included broken ribs, a damaged spine and torn tendons in his left shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, going to the hospital reflects a serious injury, said use-of-force expert Stoughton. It’s common in use-of-force investigations for someone to contact the individual and ask whether they received additional medical treatment, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, that's not a hard thing to check up on,” Stoughton said. “We’re talking about a 15-minute phone call.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11878073\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11878073\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arturo Gonzalez shows reporters his paintings of a Mexican woman reclining, and a tulip with figure. \u003ccite>(Anne Daugherty/UC Berkeley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At multiple departments, records released under the state’s transparency law \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/07/21/bay-area-news-group-sues-san-jose-for-failure-to-release-police-discipline-use-of-force-records/\">have so far\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11817288/kqed-sues-chp-over-failure-to-disclose-discipline-and-use-of-force-records\">been incomplete\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11861149/kqed-sues-bart-for-records-on-oscar-grant-shooting-and-other-police-killings\">requiring significant\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-03-19/sb-1421-sheriffs-department-disclosure\">legal follow-up\u003c/a>.

The cost of treatment has continued to add up, from steroid injections to shoulder surgery. In late May, his doctor recommended another surgery on his back, Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This and other incidents have also cost money for local taxpayers. Gonzalez brought a civil rights case against the officers, including one who was present but did nothing to stop the beating, and settled with the city in 2018 for $125,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 2014 to 2019 the city paid out more than $1 million in 10 separate settlements for civil rights, excessive force and personal injury claims related to the police. During the same time period the city settled for an additional $1.525 million in seven wrongful death suits, also all related to the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said that he doesn’t go out much anymore because he’s afraid that the police might stop him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also hard to feel safe at home, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I come outside of my house, I think about the attack,” he said. “And I think about police officers doing this to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After decades working in heavy labor, Gonzalez planned to devote his retirement to art. His acrylic and oil paintings adorn the walls of his house. In his entryway, Pine Mountain in Ojai, California; on his dining room wall, a beautiful Mexican woman. A few more in the living room; others throughout the house.

We confirmed with the city attorney that we had all disciplinary records available through the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two researchers read each case and entered information into a database. An editor reviewed the entries to make a final determination. We analyzed data on cases from the Bakersfield Police Department from 2014 to 2019 to learn more about cases where an officer broke someone’s bone. That data included information on the use of force, administrative findings and discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We spoke with officers in the Public Affairs and the Quality Assurance Unit about how they trained officers and review use-of-force cases.

A little before midnight, two officers noticed that the 37-year-old Cruz didn’t have a front light on his bicycle. A patrol officer chased Cruz to a nearby yard. There, Cruz crouched behind a child’s play tunnel, and the officer struck his arm with a baton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a police report, Cruz shouted “I didn’t do anything” twice before the officer struck again.

Some of the 31 people were later convicted of serious crimes, but an analysis of police reports reveals that others had charges dismissed, or never faced charges at all. While wrestling in a pile of blankets with a 57-year-old woman who was suspected of trespassing in a Greyhound station, officers broke her wrist. And when one man allegedly violated the \u003ca href=\"https://bakersfield.municipal.codes/Code/12.56.050\">city’s curfew\u003c/a> in Martin Luther King Jr. Park, officers tased and hit him with a baton, breaking his leg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all 31 cases involving broken bones, the Bakersfield Police Department determined that none of the officers involved violated departmental policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaking a bone is a brutal act, said Bakersfield Police Sgt.

That would raise the department’s share to 42% of the city budget and add 28 police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council’s budget hearings are the latest venue for a public debate about the quality of policing in Bakersfield, where voters narrowly approved a 1% sales tax increase to boost funding for essential services three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city pitched the sales tax as a public safety measure, but residents of Bakersfield still disagree about how best to keep the public safe. The Police Department has proposed hiring 100 officers within three years. But it remains the target of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kget.com/news/local-news/california-department-of-justice-investigates-bakersfield-police-department/\">California Department of Justice investigation opened more than four years ago\u003c/a> by then-Attorney General Kamala Harris. Demands for policing reforms — including defunding or even \u003ca href=\"https://peoplesbudgetbako.com/about/\">abolishing the department\u003c/a> — accelerated during Black Lives Matter protests last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we stand on the precipice of a critical juncture, a critical moment here in Bakersfield and in Kern County,” said Traco Matthews, a local Black civic leader and chief program officer at the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.capk.org/\">Community Action Partnership of Kern\u003c/a>. Matthews co-chairs an independent committee convened by the City Council that has offered recommendations for police reform. “Can we get to a place where use-of-force incidents, especially serious use-of-force incidents, are less and the public is still safe? And every citizen, every resident, feels like they are part of this family of Bakersfield being protected and served by BPD? Absolutely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Multiple Layers of Review, Says Department\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Among all of the cases released by the department, internal reports concluded that the force Bakersfield police used to cause a fracture was reasonable: each dog bite, every control hold, every physical strike and every strike of the baton. Using batons, officers broke bones in 26 people; once, an officer broke the baton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following every incident, the department applied a careful review process, said Sgt. Pair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's not a carte blanche that you can use a baton, go out there and use a baton whenever you want to,” Pair said. “Each one is … scrutinized under the facts and circumstances of its own event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That scrutiny has layers. When a Bakersfield police officer uses force, the officer must report it to a supervisor, usually the sergeant on duty, according to the department’s manual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The manual then directs sergeants to ensure that the person injured receives medical treatment and to investigate the incident.

Like others provided in response to a records request, the Police Department retrieved that report from incident tracking software sold to law enforcement agencies called \u003ca href=\"https://blueteamcorp.com/\">BlueTeam\u003c/a>. In it, Cruz is described as fleeing and resisting arrest, both legal conclusions offered without support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stoughton, who testified for the prosecution at Derek Chauvin’s trial in the killing of George Floyd, said the report was “woefully inadequate” to examine an individual event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Good investigations of incidents like this are wide-ranging, he said. After-action reports should look back at what happened in detail and also look forward to offer ways to improve outcomes in the future, regardless of fault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the incident in which a Bakersfield officer broke Cruz’s bone, the sergeant’s report “does not have anywhere near the level of detail that any competent supervisor would demand to assess, even in a very cursory fashion, the incident being described,” Stoughton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you're using it as one of many data points to get a bird's-eye view, then maybe this is all you need,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Bakersfield Police Sgt. Christopher Bagby, who works in the agency’s Quality Assurance Unit, the department’s use-of-force working group uses BlueTeam data to examine the effectiveness of strategy and tactics. Late in 2019, the Quality Assurance Unit also began randomized audits of the reports themselves. Sgt. Pair said that the system will automatically alert a supervisor if one of the officers under their command is using more force than normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a sergeant sees something potentially criminal, that goes to internal affairs. That department investigates citizen complaints and also begins its own inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the 31 broken bone cases released in Bakersfield, internal affairs investigated three, the only incidents where records show citizens complained. The internal affairs office cleared every officer in those three cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police and experts say that a review process is not a disciplinary process. Rather, it’s a way for departments to see how they can adjust and improve. Reducing violence in a community includes reducing uses of force, Stoughton said. Professional agencies need to look at each incident and ask what they can learn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes the answer is there is nothing that we could realistically change here that would have any impact,” Stoughton said. “The agency can control whether officers are issued a taser, for example, or that the agency can control how long an officer’s shift is to see if they're fatigued and making bad decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11878138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-800x447.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"447\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11878138\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-800x447.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-1020x570.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-160x89.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars-1536x858.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/bpd-copcars.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Bakersfield police vehicle makes patrols on Nov. 17, 2017 in Bakersfield, California. \u003ccite>(Frederic J.

Well, we have crime running rampant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others called for the city to move more money toward services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Put the funding somewhere it can be utilized like MLK Park,” Christina Crompton urged the councilmembers on June 2. “I take my kids all the time. I go out there, I pick up trash in the park, I pick up needles in the park.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crompton, 22, told a reporter that she wants to see the funds spent on public projects instead of more police officers. Crompton’s cousin is Tatyana Hargrove, a young woman whose high-profile encounter with police in 2017 has since galvanized activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four years ago, Bakersfield police officers sought a 160-pound, 5-foot-10-inch Black man who had attempted to stab a grocery store clerk with a machete. According to police reports, officers stopped Hargrove, a 120-pound woman who was 8 inches shorter. Officers punched her, set a dog on her and put her in the back of a patrol cruiser before realizing she was a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charges against Hargrove were dropped. She lost a lawsuit for excessive force against the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community leaders like Matthews and activists like Crompton have since highlighted Hargrove’s case as an example of how excessive force costs the Police Department trust with the community as a whole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Imagine how our family felt,” Crompton said. “Do you know a pain in your chest? You know how when you’re in trouble and it gets very heavy and you can’t breathe. That’s the pain our family felt in our hearts when Tatyana was beaten by the police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These kinds of incidents make it less likely for people to report crime, Crompton said, and that makes it harder for officers to solve crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who’s going to be there to protect us at the end of the day?” Crompton asked. “Who are we going to call?

A 911 dispatcher called Gonzalez Sr., who said that his son wasn’t at the house; according to a transcript, the dispatcher then notified officers that the elder Gonzalez was coming outside to meet them. Video captured by a neighbor’s camera shows Gonzalez shuffling backward, arms raised, and lit by flashlights and a flood light in his driveway. After he kneels, officers knock him flat, then beat and knee the elder Gonzalez. Among his injuries were broken ribs.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'When I come outside of my house, I think about the attack.'","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"align":"right","citation":"Arturo Gonzalez","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cbr>\n“If this isn’t a serious bodily injury I don’t know what a serious bodily injury is,” said Thomas Seabaugh, a lawyer for Gonzalez. But Gonzalez’s case isn’t counted among the 109 cases between 2014 and 2019 the department released under the state transparency law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After realizing that they arrested the wrong man, police transported Gonzalez to Mercy Southwest Hospital in an ambulance, handcuffed to a gurney.

But it wasn’t until a week later, at his primary care physician, that X-rays revealed the extent of his injuries. After blows delivered by the officers, injuries diagnosed by at least three doctors included broken ribs, a damaged spine and torn tendons in his left shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, going to the hospital reflects a serious injury, said use-of-force expert Stoughton. It’s common in use-of-force investigations for someone to contact the individual and ask whether they received additional medical treatment, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, that's not a hard thing to check up on,” Stoughton said. “We’re talking about a 15-minute phone call.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11878073\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11878073\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/gonzalez-paintings.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arturo Gonzalez shows reporters his paintings of a Mexican woman reclining, and a tulip with figure. \u003ccite>(Anne Daugherty/UC Berkeley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At multiple departments, records released under the state’s transparency law \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/07/21/bay-area-news-group-sues-san-jose-for-failure-to-release-police-discipline-use-of-force-records/\">have so far\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11817288/kqed-sues-chp-over-failure-to-disclose-discipline-and-use-of-force-records\">been incomplete\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11861149/kqed-sues-bart-for-records-on-oscar-grant-shooting-and-other-police-killings\">requiring significant\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-03-19/sb-1421-sheriffs-department-disclosure\">legal follow-up\u003c/a>.

The cost of treatment has continued to add up, from steroid injections to shoulder surgery. In late May, his doctor recommended another surgery on his back, Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This and other incidents have also cost money for local taxpayers. Gonzalez brought a civil rights case against the officers, including one who was present but did nothing to stop the beating, and settled with the city in 2018 for $125,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 2014 to 2019 the city paid out more than $1 million in 10 separate settlements for civil rights, excessive force and personal injury claims related to the police. During the same time period the city settled for an additional $1.525 million in seven wrongful death suits, also all related to the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said that he doesn’t go out much anymore because he’s afraid that the police might stop him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also hard to feel safe at home, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I come outside of my house, I think about the attack,” he said. “And I think about police officers doing this to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After decades working in heavy labor, Gonzalez planned to devote his retirement to art.

An editor reviewed the entries to make a final determination.

That data included information on the use of force, administrative findings and discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We spoke with officers in the Public Affairs and the Quality Assurance Unit about how they trained officers and review use-of-force cases.
