His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"ecruzguevarra":{"type":"authors","id":"8654","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"8654","found":true},"name":"Ericka Cruz Guevarra","firstName":"Ericka","lastName":"Cruz Guevarra","slug":"ecruzguevarra","email":"ecruzguevarra@kqed.org","display_author_email":true,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Producer, The Bay Podcast","bio":"Ericka Cruz Guevarra is host of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/podcasts/thebay\">\u003cem>The Bay\u003c/em>\u003c/a> podcast at KQED.

There is no way to know whether the man might have survived had paramedics reached him sooner, given the amount of information that has been released, but prompt treatment has been shown to make a difference in the treatment of heart attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When a heart attack happens, delay in treatment can be deadly,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. “Treatment works best when it’s given right after symptoms occur. ... Many more people could survive or recover better from heart attacks if they got help faster. Of the people who die from heart attacks, about half die within an hour of the first symptoms and before they reach the hospital.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the records reviewed by Berkeleyside, it took first responders about 27 minutes to reach the man, and another 16 minutes to get him into the ambulance to leave for the hospital. The Fire Department’s average response time is 5.5 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not the first time local protests have been linked to a death in Berkeley. In 2013, the city settled a lawsuit with the family of \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/10/22/cukor-family-settles-lawsuit-against-berkeley-police/\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Cukor\u003c/a>, a man who was attacked and killed outside his Berkeley Hills home in 2012, after authorities said they had waited to respond to the call — which initially was not categorized as an emergency — to ensure they had enough resources on hand to respond to protests in Oakland. The city admitted no fault in that matter, but agreed to change dispatching procedures as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Some Blame City Policy, Rather Than Protests\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fire Chief Dong said he could not release any details related to the man’s health, or ultimate health outcome, citing privacy laws covering medical records. Berkeleyside first reported the death in December after several city employees confirmed, under condition of anonymity, that the man died after emergency crews were delayed in reaching him due to protests in the city Dec. 7. Since then, the city’s Police Review Commission has pledged to look into the movement of emergency vehicles as part of an independent investigation into the police response to the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some supporters of the protests reacted strongly to the December story, and said they believe the death should have been more properly attributed to a city policy that determines under what circumstances firefighters are accompanied to calls by police officers. Wrote someone identified only as “justiceplease”: “The protests in themselves didn’t do anything. Either the police delayed the help, or the paramedics delayed the help because they chose to wait for the police escort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added a commenter who identified himself as Michael: “This is tragic, but it’s awfully knee-jerky to lay this squarely at the feet of protesters, the majority of whom were peaceful. Civil disobedience is disruptive. You can bet that MLK delayed an ambulance or two in his time; it’s so shortsighted to draw from this one tragic incident the conclusion that the entire movement is without merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others questioned the logic of decisions made Dec. 7 by first responders, said the crowd was unlikely to have posed an obstacle for an ambulance, and said the Fire Department should have tried harder to get to the man sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Chief: “We Can’t Predict Whether or Not It’s Going To Be Peaceful”\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dong said in December that long-standing department policies prohibit firefighters from entering active protest zones without police escorts. Those policies date back to the late 1980s and '90s, he said, when there were riots in People’s Park as well as other demonstrations in Berkeley following the Rodney King beating by police in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeleyside sought all available documents regarding the Dec. 7 medical call to Kittredge to look more closely at the timeline, as well as what role the protests reportedly played for first responders that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong told Berkeleyside in December that his department fielded 16 calls in and around areas overtaken by demonstrations in Berkeley from Dec. 6-8. Those calls saw “extended delayed response times” of 5-25 minutes due to the protests, either because ambulances were unable to get through streets blocked by crowds, or because police escorts were not immediately available because officers were busy with other demonstration-related duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said this week that Berkeley’s protocol regarding when police escorts are needed is a standard approach that is widely used. He did not have a document citation immediately available, but said he would try to locate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Police and firefighters have been killed and injured nationwide getting in to violent scenes,” Dong said Tuesday. “That’s why we’re cautious when we enter any scene, whether it’s an individual assault victim or a protest that is violent, with the potential for rock or bottle-throwing … which we observed on Dec. 6, 7 and 8.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said protesters threw projectiles at police, injuring officers, on Saturday night, Dec. 6. Members of the crowd also hurled items at police Sunday, Dec. 7, though police kept their distance from the demonstrations throughout most of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When there are protests, and there is movement of protests, we can’t predict whether or not it’s going to be peaceful,” said Dong. “Fire departments and firefighters are not immune from getting hurt or injured during protests. … We’ve seen the protests get violent, so we’re going to approach things cautiously and with safety for all responders and others involved at all times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said there is a “standing protocol” that firefighters will not enter a scene until police determine it is safe if there is a potential for violence. He said it’s not a decision made on the fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dispatchers know to ask police, who advise when it’s safe to enter,” he said. “That’s passed on to the Berkeley Fire Department. We work with, and wait for, the law enforcement determination about when it’s safe to enter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said the Fire Department does not track fatalities in the city and does not keep a record of wait times on calls for police escorts. He said, in addition, he could not speculate about how current police staffing numbers might be impacting those wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Generally, when we get calls that involve violence, the police department gets there pretty quick,” Dong said. “Response times are generally pretty fast when there’s violence or the potential for violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED News Associate \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeleyside\u003c/a> is an independently owned news website based in Berkeley, Calif. \u003ca href=\"http://eepurl.com/lh_3b\" target=\"_blank\">Click here\u003c/a> if you would you like to receive the latest Berkeley news in your inbox once a day for free with Berkeleyside's Daily Briefing email.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Paramedic response was so delayed by protests, an “unusual occurrence” form was filed with county.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1423265929,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":36,"wordCount":2324},"headData":{"title":"Patient Died After 23-Minute Delay For Paramedics During Berkeley Protests | KQED","description":"Paramedic response was so delayed by protests, an “unusual occurrence” form was filed with county.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Patient Died After 23-Minute Delay For Paramedics During Berkeley Protests","datePublished":"2015-02-06T21:56:20.000Z","dateModified":"2015-02-06T23:38:49.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"10426160 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=10426160","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/06/patient-died-after-23-minute-delay-for-paramedics-during-berkeley-protests/","disqusTitle":"Patient Died After 23-Minute Delay For Paramedics During Berkeley Protests","source":"Berkeleyside","sourceUrl":"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/02/05/exclusive-23-minute-delay-for-paramedics-during-berkeley-protests-patient-later-died/","nprByline":"\u003cstrong>Emilie Raguso\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />Berkeleyside","path":"/news/10426160/patient-died-after-23-minute-delay-for-paramedics-during-berkeley-protests","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>They were just two minutes away, but it took paramedics 27 minutes during the \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeley protests\u003c/a> in December to reach a patient who later died, according to documents obtained by \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeleyside\u003c/a> under a Public Records Act request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For 23 of those minutes, paramedics were waiting for a police escort, as per a standing city protocol, to ensure they could avoid the protests Dec. 7 and reach the man safely after he collapsed and struggled to breathe in a large affordable housing complex downtown.

The Fire Department’s average response time is 5.5 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not the first time local protests have been linked to a death in Berkeley. In 2013, the city settled a lawsuit with the family of \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/10/22/cukor-family-settles-lawsuit-against-berkeley-police/\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Cukor\u003c/a>, a man who was attacked and killed outside his Berkeley Hills home in 2012, after authorities said they had waited to respond to the call — which initially was not categorized as an emergency — to ensure they had enough resources on hand to respond to protests in Oakland. The city admitted no fault in that matter, but agreed to change dispatching procedures as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Some Blame City Policy, Rather Than Protests\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fire Chief Dong said he could not release any details related to the man’s health, or ultimate health outcome, citing privacy laws covering medical records. Berkeleyside first reported the death in December after several city employees confirmed, under condition of anonymity, that the man died after emergency crews were delayed in reaching him due to protests in the city Dec. 7. Since then, the city’s Police Review Commission has pledged to look into the movement of emergency vehicles as part of an independent investigation into the police response to the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some supporters of the protests reacted strongly to the December story, and said they believe the death should have been more properly attributed to a city policy that determines under what circumstances firefighters are accompanied to calls by police officers. Wrote someone identified only as “justiceplease”: “The protests in themselves didn’t do anything. Either the police delayed the help, or the paramedics delayed the help because they chose to wait for the police escort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added a commenter who identified himself as Michael: “This is tragic, but it’s awfully knee-jerky to lay this squarely at the feet of protesters, the majority of whom were peaceful. Civil disobedience is disruptive. You can bet that MLK delayed an ambulance or two in his time; it’s so shortsighted to draw from this one tragic incident the conclusion that the entire movement is without merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others questioned the logic of decisions made Dec. 7 by first responders, said the crowd was unlikely to have posed an obstacle for an ambulance, and said the Fire Department should have tried harder to get to the man sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Chief: “We Can’t Predict Whether or Not It’s Going To Be Peaceful”\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dong said in December that long-standing department policies prohibit firefighters from entering active protest zones without police escorts. Those policies date back to the late 1980s and '90s, he said, when there were riots in People’s Park as well as other demonstrations in Berkeley following the Rodney King beating by police in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeleyside sought all available documents regarding the Dec. 7 medical call to Kittredge to look more closely at the timeline, as well as what role the protests reportedly played for first responders that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong told Berkeleyside in December that his department fielded 16 calls in and around areas overtaken by demonstrations in Berkeley from Dec. 6-8. Those calls saw “extended delayed response times” of 5-25 minutes due to the protests, either because ambulances were unable to get through streets blocked by crowds, or because police escorts were not immediately available because officers were busy with other demonstration-related duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said this week that Berkeley’s protocol regarding when police escorts are needed is a standard approach that is widely used. He did not have a document citation immediately available, but said he would try to locate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Police and firefighters have been killed and injured nationwide getting in to violent scenes,” Dong said Tuesday. “That’s why we’re cautious when we enter any scene, whether it’s an individual assault victim or a protest that is violent, with the potential for rock or bottle-throwing … which we observed on Dec. 6, 7 and 8.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said protesters threw projectiles at police, injuring officers, on Saturday night, Dec. 6. Members of the crowd also hurled items at police Sunday, Dec. 7, though police kept their distance from the demonstrations throughout most of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When there are protests, and there is movement of protests, we can’t predict whether or not it’s going to be peaceful,” said Dong. “Fire departments and firefighters are not immune from getting hurt or injured during protests. … We’ve seen the protests get violent, so we’re going to approach things cautiously and with safety for all responders and others involved at all times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said there is a “standing protocol” that firefighters will not enter a scene until police determine it is safe if there is a potential for violence. He said it’s not a decision made on the fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dispatchers know to ask police, who advise when it’s safe to enter,” he said. “That’s passed on to the Berkeley Fire Department. We work with, and wait for, the law enforcement determination about when it’s safe to enter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dong said the Fire Department does not track fatalities in the city and does not keep a record of wait times on calls for police escorts. He said, in addition, he could not speculate about how current police staffing numbers might be impacting those wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Generally, when we get calls that involve violence, the police department gets there pretty quick,” Dong said. “Response times are generally pretty fast when there’s violence or the potential for violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED News Associate \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeleyside\u003c/a> is an independently owned news website based in Berkeley, Calif. \u003ca href=\"http://eepurl.com/lh_3b\" target=\"_blank\">Click here\u003c/a> if you would you like to receive the latest Berkeley news in your inbox once a day for free with Berkeleyside's Daily Briefing email.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10426160/patient-died-after-23-minute-delay-for-paramedics-during-berkeley-protests","authors":["byline_news_10426160"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_129","news_17423","news_6879"],"affiliates":["news_5078"],"featImg":"news_10426186","label":"source_news_10426160"},"news_10384017":{"type":"posts","id":"news_10384017","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"10384017","score":null,"sort":[1419016146000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"berkeley-merchants-react-to-damage-and-looting-after-protests","title":"Berkeley Merchants React to Damage and Looting After Protests","publishDate":1419016146,"format":"standard","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Berkeley’s major commercial districts are awash with plywood — some of it covers broken glass, some has been erected as a preventive measure to protect vulnerable windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">protests that have taken over Berkeley streets\u003c/a> this month, in response to police-involved killings of unarmed black men, have remained peaceful.

Three window repairs — two damaged by demonstrators and a third broken in unrelated circumstances — cost the merchants $3,200, and their deductible is $2,000, said the store’s manager, Godfrey Wong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he wasn’t worried about repeat incidents, a sentiment that many local merchants have expressed, according to Downtown Berkeley Association CEO John Caner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I visited with most of the merchants and businesses that were damaged, and they were sort of taking it in stride,” said Caner, who began emailing protest advisories to DBA members following the events of Dec. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Berkeley is very supportive of First Amendment rights,” he said, “and a lot of people are sympathetic, including the merchants, to the cause and a need to deal with the problems that have arisen in Ferguson and elsewhere. And it’s a small faction that has caused the problems. Clearly if people own and operate a business in Berkeley, they understand what the Berkeley communities and values are about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s not the case with many out-of-towners who have avoided shopping or dining in Berkeley due to the protests, Caner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start having people come in from other areas, they might not understand what’s going on, or have different thresholds for dealing with uncertainty,” he said. “Downtown Berkeley is open for business, and we need to support our mom-and-pops.

This month, sales have been down 5 percent compared with last December, which he partially attributes to the bad weather, but assumes is a consequence of the protests, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Bigglestone’s vantage point, the vandalism looks like a “crime of opportunity” committed by “infiltrators” latching onto a bigger movement to accomplish their own goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some local protests, organizers have advised demonstrators to keep peaceful. At the beginning of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/13/uc-berkeleys-black-student-union-leads-peaceful-protest-march-from-campus-to-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">march led by the UC Berkeley Black Student Union\u003c/a> on Saturday, Dec. 13, Cal junior Alana Banks instructed protesters to “disrupt business as usual,” but refrain from physically disrupting their surroundings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, speaking through a megaphone to merchants in the Elmwood, she said, “We’re not here to destroy your shit. We’re here because black lives matter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Monday, Dec. 8, Berkeley protest, UC Berkeley student Melissa Hossain, who had been in attendance when businesses were damaged the previous night, said her impression was that most of the vandals were unaffiliated with the cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s white anarchists who are taking over this protest,” she said. “They’re setting trashcans on fire, they’re vandalizing buildings, and this is not part of the cause. They’re here for their own purposes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other organizers, including those affiliated with the group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), have argued that it’s necessary to disturb the peace to capture the public’s attention and effect change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t have business as usual when it comes to … saving people’s lives and stopping the police from murdering,” Yvette Felarca of BAMN said at the protests on Dec. 7. She said “it wasn’t until there was that kind of action” that the officer who killed Oscar Grant in Oakland was arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the night of Dec. 7, protesters argued among themselves about whether to vandalize shops. That night, Berkeley police, acting on an order from City Manager Christine Daniel, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/08/city-of-berkeley-told-police-to-use-restraint-avoid-tear-gas-on-second-night-of-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">took a deliberately hands-off approach\u003c/a> during the protests. The previous night, officers had used tear gas on demonstrators and shot non-lethal projectiles at them, which concerned some city officials. Police made 11 arrests over the course of the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, city staff were working actively during the protests, said city spokesman Matthai Chakko, who was in the police emergency command center during some of the protests. Economic development staff have been in close contact with affected merchants, and public works staff have worked throughout the nights cleaning debris and garbage, and bringing plywood to board up damaged windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hard to get a contractor to come out at 2 in the morning,” Chakko said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downtown merchants expressed appreciation for the DBA advisories, which included details on known protest plans and tips for businesses not to leave out loose items or trashcans that could be used by vandals. But Bigglestone said he had trouble getting his trash picked up quickly, despite the advisories’ promise that special pickup could be arranged if cans were kept inside on trash night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roland Peterson, who heads up the Telegraph Business Improvement District, said he had warned merchants in advance of protests, but only on the occasions when “he had consistent, solid information that a protest would occur and begin at Telegraph and Bancroft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have also had a fair number of conversations with merchants who have asked me questions like, ‘Should I board up my windows?’ or ‘Should I close?' ” he said. “Of course, in advance I can’t really answer either one of those questions for them. Mainly I have tried to be a reliable source of good information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the lack of police presence Dec. 7, some merchants and residents took it upon themselves to monitor the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A row of regulars at \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/07/02/berkeleys-iconic-caffe-mediterraneum-is-up-for-sale/\" target=\"_blank\">Caffe Med on Telegraph\u003c/a> stood vigil in front of the famous coffee shop, along with owner Craig Becker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stewart Johnston, owner of Johnston Medical on Shattuck in South Berkeley, stood guard outside that same night and helped put out a trashcan fire. He said there were no police to be seen, but a resident came out and successfully instructed the protesters not to destroy any more small shops in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve never once gotten a warning from the police,” Johnston said. “But I have no criticism of the Berkeley police. It’s very difficult to know how to handle it. It seems strange to be breaking windows and looting and call it a protest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At True Value, Wong said he was grateful that the police exhibited some restraint on Sunday even though his windows were broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police should keep calm in those situations, otherwise [protesters would] be more wild,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bigglestone said videos and photographs of the protests on Saturday make him think the police “overreacted” that night. One of his customer’s kids was bruised trying to help a protester knocked down by an officer, and another was arrested and let go after three days without charges being filed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But it’s not my job to protect and serve, so I can’t say,” Bigglestone said. “In the face of big-style vandalism like we saw on the 7th, it’s kind of difficult to say.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED News Associate \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeleyside\u003c/a> is an independently owned news website based in Berkeley, Calif. \u003ca href=\"http://eepurl.com/lh_3b\" target=\"_blank\">Click here\u003c/a> if you would you like to receive the latest Berkeley news in your inbox once a day for free with Berkeleyside's Daily Briefing email.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Sentiments run the gamut, from patience to praise of peaceful majority to sharp criticism of the police.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1419028965,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":43,"wordCount":1937},"headData":{"title":"Berkeley Merchants React to Damage and Looting After Protests | KQED","description":"Sentiments run the gamut, from patience to praise of peaceful majority to sharp criticism of the police.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Berkeley Merchants React to Damage and Looting After Protests","datePublished":"2014-12-19T19:09:06.000Z","dateModified":"2014-12-19T22:42:45.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"10384017 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=10384017","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/19/berkeley-merchants-react-to-damage-and-looting-after-protests/","disqusTitle":"Berkeley Merchants React to Damage and Looting After Protests","customPermalink":"2014/12/19/Berkeley-businesses-respond-michael-brown-protests-black-lives-matter/","nprByline":"\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/author/natalie/\">Natalie Orenstein\u003c/a>\u003cbr>Berkeleyside","path":"/news/10384017/berkeley-merchants-react-to-damage-and-looting-after-protests","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Berkeley’s major commercial districts are awash with plywood — some of it covers broken glass, some has been erected as a preventive measure to protect vulnerable windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">protests that have taken over Berkeley streets\u003c/a> this month, in response to police-involved killings of unarmed black men, have remained peaceful.

But it didn’t come cheap. Three window repairs — two damaged by demonstrators and a third broken in unrelated circumstances — cost the merchants $3,200, and their deductible is $2,000, said the store’s manager, Godfrey Wong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he wasn’t worried about repeat incidents, a sentiment that many local merchants have expressed, according to Downtown Berkeley Association CEO John Caner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I visited with most of the merchants and businesses that were damaged, and they were sort of taking it in stride,” said Caner, who began emailing protest advisories to DBA members following the events of Dec. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Berkeley is very supportive of First Amendment rights,” he said, “and a lot of people are sympathetic, including the merchants, to the cause and a need to deal with the problems that have arisen in Ferguson and elsewhere. And it’s a small faction that has caused the problems. Clearly if people own and operate a business in Berkeley, they understand what the Berkeley communities and values are about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s not the case with many out-of-towners who have avoided shopping or dining in Berkeley due to the protests, Caner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start having people come in from other areas, they might not understand what’s going on, or have different thresholds for dealing with uncertainty,” he said. “Downtown Berkeley is open for business, and we need to support our mom-and-pops.

Even if it’s 2 percent of the protests, it’s still there.

They gotta work, they gotta eat.

This month, sales have been down 5 percent compared with last December, which he partially attributes to the bad weather, but assumes is a consequence of the protests, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Bigglestone’s vantage point, the vandalism looks like a “crime of opportunity” committed by “infiltrators” latching onto a bigger movement to accomplish their own goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some local protests, organizers have advised demonstrators to keep peaceful. At the beginning of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/13/uc-berkeleys-black-student-union-leads-peaceful-protest-march-from-campus-to-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">march led by the UC Berkeley Black Student Union\u003c/a> on Saturday, Dec. 13, Cal junior Alana Banks instructed protesters to “disrupt business as usual,” but refrain from physically disrupting their surroundings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, speaking through a megaphone to merchants in the Elmwood, she said, “We’re not here to destroy your shit. We’re here because black lives matter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Monday, Dec. 8, Berkeley protest, UC Berkeley student Melissa Hossain, who had been in attendance when businesses were damaged the previous night, said her impression was that most of the vandals were unaffiliated with the cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s white anarchists who are taking over this protest,” she said. “They’re setting trashcans on fire, they’re vandalizing buildings, and this is not part of the cause. They’re here for their own purposes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other organizers, including those affiliated with the group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), have argued that it’s necessary to disturb the peace to capture the public’s attention and effect change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t have business as usual when it comes to … saving people’s lives and stopping the police from murdering,” Yvette Felarca of BAMN said at the protests on Dec. 7. She said “it wasn’t until there was that kind of action” that the officer who killed Oscar Grant in Oakland was arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the night of Dec. 7, protesters argued among themselves about whether to vandalize shops. That night, Berkeley police, acting on an order from City Manager Christine Daniel, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/08/city-of-berkeley-told-police-to-use-restraint-avoid-tear-gas-on-second-night-of-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">took a deliberately hands-off approach\u003c/a> during the protests. The previous night, officers had used tear gas on demonstrators and shot non-lethal projectiles at them, which concerned some city officials. Police made 11 arrests over the course of the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, city staff were working actively during the protests, said city spokesman Matthai Chakko, who was in the police emergency command center during some of the protests. Economic development staff have been in close contact with affected merchants, and public works staff have worked throughout the nights cleaning debris and garbage, and bringing plywood to board up damaged windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hard to get a contractor to come out at 2 in the morning,” Chakko said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downtown merchants expressed appreciation for the DBA advisories, which included details on known protest plans and tips for businesses not to leave out loose items or trashcans that could be used by vandals. But Bigglestone said he had trouble getting his trash picked up quickly, despite the advisories’ promise that special pickup could be arranged if cans were kept inside on trash night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roland Peterson, who heads up the Telegraph Business Improvement District, said he had warned merchants in advance of protests, but only on the occasions when “he had consistent, solid information that a protest would occur and begin at Telegraph and Bancroft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have also had a fair number of conversations with merchants who have asked me questions like, ‘Should I board up my windows?’ or ‘Should I close?' ” he said. “Of course, in advance I can’t really answer either one of those questions for them. Mainly I have tried to be a reliable source of good information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the lack of police presence Dec. 7, some merchants and residents took it upon themselves to monitor the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A row of regulars at \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/07/02/berkeleys-iconic-caffe-mediterraneum-is-up-for-sale/\" target=\"_blank\">Caffe Med on Telegraph\u003c/a> stood vigil in front of the famous coffee shop, along with owner Craig Becker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stewart Johnston, owner of Johnston Medical on Shattuck in South Berkeley, stood guard outside that same night and helped put out a trashcan fire. He said there were no police to be seen, but a resident came out and successfully instructed the protesters not to destroy any more small shops in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve never once gotten a warning from the police,” Johnston said. “But I have no criticism of the Berkeley police. It’s very difficult to know how to handle it. It seems strange to be breaking windows and looting and call it a protest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At True Value, Wong said he was grateful that the police exhibited some restraint on Sunday even though his windows were broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police should keep calm in those situations, otherwise [protesters would] be more wild,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bigglestone said videos and photographs of the protests on Saturday make him think the police “overreacted” that night. One of his customer’s kids was bruised trying to help a protester knocked down by an officer, and another was arrested and let go after three days without charges being filed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But it’s not my job to protect and serve, so I can’t say,” Bigglestone said. “In the face of big-style vandalism like we saw on the 7th, it’s kind of difficult to say.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED News Associate \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeleyside\u003c/a> is an independently owned news website based in Berkeley, Calif. \u003ca href=\"http://eepurl.com/lh_3b\" target=\"_blank\">Click here\u003c/a> if you would you like to receive the latest Berkeley news in your inbox once a day for free with Berkeleyside's Daily Briefing email.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10384017/berkeley-merchants-react-to-damage-and-looting-after-protests","authors":["byline_news_10384017"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_1758"],"tags":["news_17423","news_17396","news_6798"],"affiliates":["news_5078"],"featImg":"news_10384018","label":"news_6944"},"news_10379681":{"type":"posts","id":"news_10379681","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"10379681","score":null,"sort":[1418679000000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"berkeley-police-review-commission-calls-for-halt-to-tear-gas-projectiles","title":"Berkeley Police Review Commission Calls For Halt to Tear Gas, Projectiles","publishDate":1418679000,"format":"standard","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>After hearing the testimony of about 10 people who said they were treated unnecessarily roughly during \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/06/breaking-post-ferguson-demo-in-downtown-berkeley-march-continues-to-berkeley-police-hq/\" target=\"_blank\">a Dec. 6 protest\u003c/a>, the Police Review Commission voted last week to ask Berkeley city officials to restrict the use of tear gas, over-the-shoulder baton hits and firing projectiles as a form of crowd control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission, which put the issue on last Wednesday's agenda as an emergency measure, is hoping the Berkeley City Council will do the same at its meeting Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our proposal was for a cooling-off period,” said Alison Bernstein, vice chair of the PRC. “[Using tear gas] is a crowd-control technique.

The demonstration started off peacefully earlier that night as a group had marched from the UC Berkeley campus toward downtown, where some conducted a “die-in” by lying in the middle of the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that, the protesters moved toward the Berkeley police station on Martin Luther King Jr. Way. According to Police Chief Michael Meehan, some protesters started to throw rocks and bricks at officers stationed there. The protesters pushed through a police line to make their way to University Avenue, where a few protesters smashed the windows of Trader Joe’s, Wells Fargo Bank and other businesses, starting around 6:40 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ejslNyI4ec0lNPlOyZpyjhBKTYCIy7Ym\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the protesters made their way back to Telegraph Avenue between Bancroft and Dwight after 9 p.m., Berkeley police issued numerous verbal orders to disperse. When the crowd would not leave, police officers lined up and pushed the crowd south on Telegraph. Officers used their batons to rake and jab people — a common crowd-control technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the situation deteriorated. Police fired tear gas into the crowd around 10:20 p.m. to force it to move south. Some police officers used their batons to hit protesters on the head, legs and arms, according to a number of people who were hit. Officers trapped part of the crowd at Telegraph and Dwight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moni Law, a housing counselor for the Rent Stabilization Board, said Friday her back was still hurting after she was hit from behind by a police baton. She said two Berkeley police officers swung at her even though she was standing peacefully in the street. She got their badge numbers and has filed an incident report with the PRC.

Chris Stines, president of the Berkeley Police Association, said he has worked at hundreds of protests during his 16 years as a Berkeley police officer and has never seen one as violent as the Dec. 6 event in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I watched an officer get hit in the head with a crowbar,” said Stines. “I watched an officer next to me get hit with an ice pick. I had a bottle come flying at my head. I ducked, and it hit the officer behind me. There were multiple attacks against us that could have been deadly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stines was injured when he arrested a man who had thrown a sandbag at an officer and dislocated his shoulder, he said. Stines cut up his knee badly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stines said police resorted to tear gas because the crowd was so violent. He does not think the PRC or City Council should take away the ability to use tear gas until there is a thorough and complete review of what happened Dec. 6. Stines said there is a lot of video that was produced by news agencies and protesters that can be reviewed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be due process before anyone rushes to judgment and takes away a tool that we don’t use frequently,” said Stines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meehan has said he cannot let his officers get injured, and that is why he approved the use of tear gas Dec. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unclear what kind of review, if any, the city plans to do of the demonstration. Meehan said at \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/09/breaking-city-of-berkeley-calls-invite-only-press-conference-for-tv-news-only/\" target=\"_blank\">a press conference Tuesday\u003c/a> that his department will review complaints, including those of police officers covering their badges with tape so they cannot be identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Council members Kriss Worthington and Jesse Arreguín have called for an \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/10/2-officials-demand-investigation-into-police-tear-gas-use-in-berkeley-protest/\" target=\"_blank\">independent investigation of police actions\u003c/a>. City Councilwoman Linda Maio has also said the city should look into all of the allegations of force used by police, but she did not mention wanting a complete review of that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police are already guided by a set of rules and procedures that outlines how they should act during protests, and how they should use both lethal and non-lethal force. Berkeley police are prohibited, for example, from using pepper spray as a form of crowd control. They are also barred from using chokeholds, like the one that contributed to Garner’s death in Staten Island.

And heartless. And whoever did that simply needs to grow up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said it’s difficult to know exactly how to interpret the effigies, whether as a “thoughtless joke” or “straight-up inflammatory racist behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It falls somewhere along the line between prank and consciously racist messaging,” he said. “But it doesn’t matter. It’s absolutely thoughtless and wrong. Given the volatility of the situation, it’s just damaging to everybody. It’s a very public and clear example that racism exists at all levels of society, and it’s precisely the kind of symbol that protesters are protesting against.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said he has been keeping a close eye on this past week’s protests in Berkeley, and had been sad to see all the broken windows in businesses downtown as he drove through the area Saturday. He said he does not support the violence but, “at the same time, there’s a lot of pent-up frustration and anger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said, beyond the protests, the community needs a forum to come together for healing and communication. A week and a half ago, the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/04/breaking-cal-students-hold-black-lives-matter-rally/\">Black Student Union held one such event on campus\u003c/a>, and Berkeley High students along with REALM Charter School students staged a \u003ca title=\"Black Lives Matter protest by hundreds of Berkeley High students ‘shows how it’s done’\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/11/black-lives-matter-protest-by-hundreds-of-berkeley-high-students-shows-how-its-done/\">walkout and rally\u003c/a>, which culminated with a “die-in” on the UC Berkeley campus several days ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said there have been a number of informal forums, but that nothing large-scale has been planned by the university to his knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to come together to heal,” he said. “There are a lot of different factions, a lot of different voices, and not a lot of control over the messaging one way or another. We need a forum to help us process these very emotionally laden, very relevant events. But that has to be a two-way street. It has to be a dialogue. And there’s got to be goodwill. And effigies are the very antithesis of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:26 p.m.\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Saturday:\u003c/strong> UC Berkeley spokeswoman Claire Holmes called Berkeleyside back to clarify some information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said University of California Police Department officers found two effigies hanging from Sather Gate on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also saw a photo of a third effigy in an area they think was the Campanile.

And heartless. And whoever did that simply needs to grow up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said it’s difficult to know exactly how to interpret the effigies, whether as a “thoughtless joke” or “straight-up inflammatory racist behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It falls somewhere along the line between prank and consciously racist messaging,” he said. “But it doesn’t matter. It’s absolutely thoughtless and wrong. Given the volatility of the situation, it’s just damaging to everybody. It’s a very public and clear example that racism exists at all levels of society, and it’s precisely the kind of symbol that protesters are protesting against.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said he has been keeping a close eye on this past week’s protests in Berkeley, and had been sad to see all the broken windows in businesses downtown as he drove through the area Saturday. He said he does not support the violence but, “at the same time, there’s a lot of pent-up frustration and anger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said, beyond the protests, the community needs a forum to come together for healing and communication. A week and a half ago, the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/04/breaking-cal-students-hold-black-lives-matter-rally/\">Black Student Union held one such event on campus\u003c/a>, and Berkeley High students along with REALM Charter School students staged a \u003ca title=\"Black Lives Matter protest by hundreds of Berkeley High students ‘shows how it’s done’\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/11/black-lives-matter-protest-by-hundreds-of-berkeley-high-students-shows-how-its-done/\">walkout and rally\u003c/a>, which culminated with a “die-in” on the UC Berkeley campus several days ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said there have been a number of informal forums, but that nothing large-scale has been planned by the university to his knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to come together to heal,” he said. “There are a lot of different factions, a lot of different voices, and not a lot of control over the messaging one way or another. We need a forum to help us process these very emotionally laden, very relevant events. But that has to be a two-way street. It has to be a dialogue. And there’s got to be goodwill. And effigies are the very antithesis of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:26 p.m.\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Saturday:\u003c/strong> UC Berkeley spokeswoman Claire Holmes called Berkeleyside back to clarify some information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said University of California Police Department officers found two effigies hanging from Sather Gate on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also saw a photo of a third effigy in an area they think was the Campanile.

No suspects have been detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unclear what the intent was,,” said Holmes. “It could be that these are related to police violence and the protests that are going on in Ferguson.
