After a night of looting and fires in San Bernardino, dozens of business owners were boarding upwindows and surveying the damage Monday, June 1.

But they were not alone.

About 80 volunteers, many with trash bags and brooms ready, congregated in the parking lot of theWaterman Discount Mall at 11 a.m. before spreading out to help clean up their city.

While Amin didn’t want to speculate on why the violence happened, he said many communitymembers stopped by Monday to let him know they appreciate his business, and that they were sorryto see his pharmacy vandalized.

“I’m here to get back to normality so I can take care of the community and my patients,” he said.

Justine Obiakor, a 27-year-old San Bernardino resident, said Monday she was among the peacefulprotesters who marched from City Hall to the Justice Center to the police station and back Sundayafternoon while calling for police reform following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black manwho died on May 25 in Minneapolis.

A video showed a now-former police officer kneeling on Floyd’s neck before he died.

Obiakor, who had attended a protest Saturday in Pomona, described a banded group of nonviolentprotesters who denounced and scolded “undercover agitators” as they revealed themselvesthroughout the afternoon.

Yet, as night fell in San Bernardino on Sunday, events took a turn, Obiakor said.

“It was beautiful to see that everyone can come together, show up and be respectful, especially in SanBernardino, where for so long we separated and isolated ourselves,” Obiakor said. “So it wasdisappointing and heartbreaking when you have people who are there for the negative aspect and to

loot.

“How does that solve anything? That only takes away from the focus of challenging why these blacklives are being taken for no reason and asking for accountability.”

Councilman Henry Nickel called what unfolded late Sunday “total mayhem,” saying Monday he fearedsomeone would get badly hurt or killed.

“I’ve never seen people behave this way,” said Nickel, who represents the northern part of town,which was largely spared from the vandalism, rioting and looting that occurred elsewhere. “Peoplerunning around in cars, going from place to place, looting, stealing, breaking windows. This is not theway people behave and it will stop. It will stop. We’re going to make sure of it.

“People need to understand this is not acceptable behavior,” Nickel continued. “This is criminality andthere are very serious consequences for this type of behavior.”

Mayor John Valdivia, who said Monday he requested police assistance from neighboring cities ataround 6 p.m. Sunday, commended the joint effort in keeping rioters and looters at bay for much ofthe evening. Police late Monday said six people had been arrested for looting on Sunday.

Still, two sporting goods stores, both Walmarts in town and many small businesses along the HighlandAvenue corridor were looted, Valdivia said. Police headquarters and other shops downtown werespared, he added, but tagged. Valdivia credited police for protecting the Inland Center Mall, the Targeton Orange Show Drive and businesses on Hospitality Lane.

After enacting a curfew Sunday evening, city officials announced an extension Monday. The 6 p.m. to6 a.m. curfew is in effect daily until further notice.

“I really believe people have a right to protest,” Valdivia said. “But when it comes to vandalism,property vandalism, we’re not going to have it. As mayor, I will not tolerate that nonsense and I willempower our police chief and department to push back these vandals and rioters turned looters.

“They’re not welcome in our city.”

At around 11 p.m. Sunday, 22-year-old Kaylah Reyes was watching the riot in San Bernardino unfoldon social media when she launched a GoFundMe page to help small-business owners recover theirlosses.

An Arroyo Valley High School graduate who said she regularly lost afternoons walking around theWaterman Discount Mall, Reyes set out to raise $100, a modest goal she figured her friends could

help her meet.

By Monday afternoon, hundreds of donors had raised more than $16,000.

“I know mom-and-pop shops are not thriving (in San Bernardino) to begin with, even before COVIDand the protest,” Reyes said. “These damages could destroy the livelihood of a lot of people in SanBernardino. If we can exceed $10,000, I would like to go around the Waterman Swap Meet and seewho needs help repairing whatever damages they have.

“I would like to contribute to that to get it fixed and to get other small businesses to help other smallbusinesses grow.”

Monday, in the parking lot of the discount mall, Chris Reinhard organized volunteers while standing inthe bed of a pickup truck filled with water bottles and rolls of trash bags.

The campus pastor at Sandals Church, which was blocks away from the looting, said after the helpinghands had dispersed that he was pleased, but not surprised, that so many people came out to help.

“There’s so many good people,” he said. “We’re a city of survivors, we’ve been through everything,and we’ve always gotten back up. I love the way our people love the city.”

Girl Scout Carson Schumacher, Brownie Lilly Bumpus and their families were handing out cookies tobusiness owners and workers Monday.

Carson, a high school senior, said she was there “to help the community.”

Lilly, a second grader, said she wanted “to make the right choices and remind people that they needto think of things before they do bad things.”

Trish Anderson, Lilly’s mother, said they were planning on giving out about 500 boxes of cookiesMonday.

“This is our city, this is our stomping grounds, this is our home,” Anderson said.

While many on social media chided rioters and looters Sunday evening for causing harm to a cash-strapped city already facing major budget problems, Nickel said Monday that San Bernardino, whichhas overcome unimaginable pain and tragedy in recent years, will recover physically.

“But what doesn’t get fixed,” he added, “is the reputation the city has and the community has.”

By SANDRA EMERSON | [email protected] |PUBLISHED: June 1, 2020 at 3:35 p.m. | UPDATED: June 1, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.

San Bernardino County closed its offices and novel coronavirus testing sites early Monday, June 1,because of civil unrest over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in policecustody in Minneapolis.

County offices closed at 3 p.m. so local law enforcement can focus on public safety issues that mayarise in the community, said Lana Culp, public health department spokeswoman. Testing sites shutdown at 1 p.m. to give staff enough time to close offices and operations, Culp said.

Testing is expected to resume Tuesday, June 2. But if that should change, county officials will notifythe public, Culp said.

The death of Floyd, 46, on May 25 sparked sometimes destructive protests across the country overthe past few days, prompting cities and counties to issue curfews in attempts to curb vandalism andlooting.

San Bernardino County has not issued a curfew, but several cities have, including San Bernardinoand Ontario. Riverside County issued a curfew from 6 p.m. Monday, June 1, to 6 a.m. Tuesday, June2.

“All of us within the County of San Bernardino are experiencing a mix of emotions as we come out of aweekend that saw both the best and worst of our citizenry,” Board of Supervisors Chairman CurtHagman said in a county news release. Hagman’s 4th District includes Chino Hills, where a peacefulprotest of about 250 was held Sunday, May 31.

killing of George Floyd and we can understand and support the message from peaceful assembliesacross the county. But this weekend also saw people who took advantage of lawful protests to initiateterrible, senseless violence and destruction not only here in San Bernardino, but nationwide.”

Among the sadness, anger and violence, Hagman said he has also seen the good.

“Residents have helped clean up destruction, gather donations and offer places of refuge, officerstrying to bridge the gap between them and their communities, and government officials working withcommunity leaders to come up with solutions,” he said.

Hagman said they have faith in the leadership of Sheriff John McMahon and many city policedepartments in the county.

Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Josie Gonzales’ 5th District includes San Bernardino, whereresidents on Monday, June 1 helped business owners clean up after a night of looting and fires.

“As emotional, and at times disturbing as this weekend’s events have been, I choose to see this as anopportunity for us to come together to truly address the systemic racism that has disadvantaged aspecific segment of our American family,” Gonzales said.

Gonzales said she does not condone the violence and the looting that has hurt many businesses,especially small businesses already affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic.

“But the outcry we hear is not just outrage over the killing of Mr. George Floyd,” she said. “It is aboutAhmaud Arbrey, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor, Botham Jean, and too many other African Americanmen, women, and children who have died violently and unnecessarily as the result of an economicstructure that once saw African Americans as property and has yet to fully see them in an equal,humane light.”

On Tuesday, June 2, community leaders will go to the county government center to ask supervisors tolisten, begin the dialogue and initiative change, Gonzales said.

Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford said she is heartbroken for the nation.

“I ache for my friends, neighbors and family who have been touched by racism, hatred, ignorance,”she said in a statement. “I ache for those law enforcement officers who genuinely have hearts ofservice and are trying to protect our community from looters. I ache for the centuries and decades ofoppression, mistrust, and miscommunication that have led us to this point.

Protesters gathered in Rancho Cucamonga, which is in the2nd District, Friday and Saturday.

Supervisor Robert Lovingood in the 1st District said he isdisheartened by the violence unfolding in cities across thenation that is not reflective of the purpose and reasonprotesters have assembled in unity to voice their concernsand unrest.

“The criminal element of looting and violence is notwelcomed,” he said in a statement. “It causes everyone tosuffer and brings nothing good for our communities andfamilies. I stand with our community and faith-basedleaders in a call for unity as we hear the cries of many andstand together against the violence.”

Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe encouraged countyresidents to exercise their freedom of speech and right to assemble peacefully. Three protests inRedlands Sunday, May 31, remained peaceful, police officials there said.

“However, looters and rioters who use these protests as a distraction while they destroy our localbusinesses, many of which are owned by immigrants and people of color, will be arrested andprosecuted,” Rowe said in a statement. “I support bringing attention to the unnecessary death ofGeorge Floyd, but not at the expense of hard-working, small business owners.”

Authorities say three protests in Redlands on Sunday, May 31, remained peaceful with crowdsgathering at various points in the city to protest the in-custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

In a message on Facebook, police Chief Chris Catren said Monday that law enforcement officers metwith organizers prior to the demonstrations in an effort to “protect public safety and property, but alsoto ensure that the constitutional right to free speech and assembly was also protected.” All sides cameto a “mutual agreement on these principles,” Catren said, and the demonstrations remained peaceful.

That was not the case everywhere Sunday, the fifth day of national unrest following Floyd’s death.Peaceful protests gave way to violent clashes between rioters and law enforcement in communities

UPDATE: Peaceful protest takes place in northwestern Fontana onJune 1

Jun 1, 2020

A group of about 100 people gathered for a peaceful protest in northwestern Fontana on the

afternoon of June 1 as a heavy police presence waited at a shopping center one block away.

The protest began at 4:30 p.m. on the corner of Summit Avenue and Lytle Creek Road and was being

held in memory of George Floyd, a Minnesota man who died after a Minneapolis police of�cer knelt

on his neck on May 25. News of the tragedy has triggered nationwide protests that have been

followed by violence in many cities.

Several Fontana Police Department vehicles and a police helicopter were at the nearby Target

shopping center while the previously planned protest took place. No disturbances were reported in

the area.

The city was under a curfew on both May 31 and June 1, and now a curfew has been enacted for

Tuesday, June 2 from 6 p.m. to sunrise on Wednesday, June 3.

In response to the curfew, several Fontana residents expressed their concerns about protests and

the possibility that violence could follow.

Said Emily JoLynn Ellis on the City of Fontana's Facebook page: "It is our constitutional right and

duty to protest and overthrow things that we do not �nd just. Police brutality is not just."

Cheryl Gray Peterson responded: "I see the videos that come out of Fontana. Are you proud of that?

My husband worked for city government for over 25 years, and this is just irresponsible to the max,

to encourage or support protests."

Jennifer Draper said: "The day we are not allowed to protest is the day we lose our democracy."

Julie Flinn posted: "I heard the reason for the curfew is to get the peaceful protesters and general

public home, and the looters of course will not comply and the police and national guard can better

control those people."

City officials in Barstow and Adelanto have declared local emergencies and setcurfews that start at 6 p.m. Monday.

The Barstow City Council held an emergency meeting at 11 a.m., and said thecurfew, which ends 6 a.m. Tuesday, and declaration were enacted in response to“civil unrest transpiring from protests” across the state and nation following theMay 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Officials in Adelanto enacted the same curfew, adding that it would remain inplace until further notice, according to a press release posted to the city’s website.

“The declaration and curfew are in response to civil unrest resulting fromprotests throughout the country this past weekend, Mayor Gabriel Reyes said inthe release. “The city said it “stands with our concerned community membersand residents in their outrage regarding the death of George Floyd. We respectthe public’s right to peacefully assemble and protest outside curfew hours.”

Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died after a Minneapolis police officer kneeledon his neck for almost nine minutes while he lay handcuffed on the ground.

Four officers were fired following the incident. Derek Chauvin, the officer whoknelt on Floyd’s neck, was arrested and charged Friday on suspicion of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

The video of the fatal arrest sparked outrage and protests worldwide in majorcities, with some turning violent.

Just after 1 p.m. Monday, San Bernardino County spokesperson David Wert toldthe Daily Press county officials were on a call with “all city managers.” Wert said,however, that a countywide curfew looked unlikely.

Spokespersons for Apple Valley, Hesperia and Victorville said thosemunicipalities had no plans to enact curfews on Monday.

Victorville spokesperson Sue Jones said the city will continue to monitor thesituation.

″(It’s) simply not necessary in our unincorporated mountain and remote desertcommunities,” Wert said in a text message.

The county announced Monday it would close all county offices to the publicstarting at 3 p.m., with employees leaving by 4 p.m.

“The idea is to clear out business areas so law enforcement can focus on anydemonstrations that might take place,” Wert said.

Elsewhere in the High Desert, both Walmarts in Victorville, as well as the one inHesperia, were closed by Monday afternoon and employees were seen boardingup entrances and windows at those locations.

The Target in Hesperia was also closed, but employees there had not boarded upthe entrances. A Facebook post showed that the Apple Valley Target in the JessRanch Marketplace was also closed.

Grocery stores in the High Desert observed by Daily Press reporters appeared tobe open.

The 2020 HARD Summer Music Festival in Fontana has been cancelled, organizers announced

recently.

The two-day festival, which drew mammoth crowds to Auto Club Speedway in recent years, had

been scheduled to take place during the weekend of Aug. 1-2 but has been called off because of

health concerns caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

"To all our fans -- Thank you for your support during these past few months," the Facebook post

said. "Though the world is moving in a more positive direction, we want to have HARD Summer as

soon as it's safe to do so and right now it's too soon for us to be able to gather at HARD Summer this

year.

"While we are disappointed by this outcome, we are excited to shift our focus to creating an

unforgettable experience for next year's festival."

The event annually brings together many top acts in the genres of electronic dance music and hip

hop. It is one of the largest festivals in California, and about 170,000 people were in attendance in

2019.

"We appreciate your passion and patience during these times," the Facebook post said. "Your

current festival passes will be valid for HARD Summer 2021 and will be upgraded for free as a thank

you from us for being so supportive. Those of you who have GA will be upgraded to VIP and those of

you with VIP will get a complimentary VIP pass for you to bring someone along.

"If you are no longer able to attend HARD Summer, refund requests will be accepted."

Some commenters on the Facebook page said they were disappointed that this year's festival would

not be held, but they were thankful about being able to get the VIP treatment in 2021.

"This is how you show appreciation to the fans," said commenter Oscar Martinez.

Check in on Your Black Employees, NowBetween the pandemic and the killings of George Floyd and others, the mental health of black people is floundering. Employers mustaddress these issues head-on.

By Tonya RussellMs. Russell is a freelance writer.

June 2, 2020

When a video goes viral showing violence against a black person, the shock waves are felt throughout our community. Our social feedsshow a mixture of outrage, despair and an overall sense of fatigue.

When another breaking news story inevitably takes center stage and pushes the violence into the background, we still feel that pain. Blackpeople don’t have the luxury of moving on when the media does.

This deep-seated pain, stemming from inherited racial trauma and modern examples of injustice, informs our health, both mentally andphysically. Allostasis is the measure of wear and tear on the body caused by chronic stress, and studies have shown that “weathering” theeffects of racism puts black people at a higher risk of mortality.

“Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal issues and elevated blood pressure” are just some of the medical issues thatcould “point to poor stress management,” said Olivia Affuso, an associate professor in the department of epidemiology at the University ofAlabama, Birmingham.

This is why, as cities erupt in protests over police brutality, black people are in desperate need of support — especially from theiremployers.

Between a pandemic endangering black lives at disproportionately high rates and the recent killings of black people like George Floyd andBreonna Taylor, “every black person I’ve spoken to is numb,” Jameta N. Barlow, a community health psychologist, told me recently. “Yet,they’re expected to show up to work, if they are still employed, and perform the job optimally. This is the true definition of insaneexpectations.”

There are steps black people can take to maintain their well-being during these times — exercise, therapy and turning off social mediahave shown to be beneficial in alleviating stress. But they may have a harder time extending such acts of self-care to their professionallives out of fear of retaliation, particularly during a period when unemployment rates are at record highs. That’s where managers come in.

It is crucial for employers to check in with their employees and acknowledge the news events of the past few weeks. They shouldencourage self-care, whatever that may mean to the individuals, and make clear there will be no penalties for those who may need to takea mental health day or temporarily take on a lighter workload.

This is especially important in environments where black employees exist in predominantly white spaces and daily instances ofmicroaggressions and tokenism abound. It is highly possible the work space is already a source of their stress, and they don’t feelcomfortable speaking up about what they are going through. It’s up to managers to open up the lines of communication and actively listento black workers’ concerns.

Actively investing in the health of employees will also go a long way toward fostering good will and a safe work environment. For the past10 years, Dr. Barlow has acted as a trained facilitator for Emotional Emancipation Circles, or E.E.C.s, which sprang from a partnershipbetween the Association of Black Psychologists and the Community Healing Network. These support groups, which deal head-on withracial trauma, are hosted in close to 50 cities across the United States, and an employer can facilitate an in-house group or encourageworkers to join one. Many companies already have some version of employee resource groups in place; for those networks dedicated toaddressing black workers’ needs, it’s imperative that they feel as though they have enough support from management during this time.

Since Trayvon Martin was killed in 2012, the deaths of black people at the hands of law enforcement or white vigilantism (and the drawn-out cases that result from them) have consistently dominated news cycles, often graphically so. Cellphones, Facebook Live and evenSnapchat have been crucial in uncovering how these events occurred.

These photos and videos jolt America awake, and they start a necessary dialogue about police brutality and race relations. It took morethan two months for the men involved in Ahmaud Arbery’s death while jogging in a Georgia neighborhood to be arrested and charged —the online leak of a video showing Mr. Arbery’s final moments was the likely catalyst for the arrests. The death of George Floyd has beenshown on every news station and can easily be found with a quick Twitter or Google search.

However, these images are also costly. In a study published in 2018, after participants had been exposed to police killings of blackAmericans — including through word of mouth and media stories — they were asked how many days out of the previous 30 days was theirmental health “not good.” The average response was 14 days. The study also found that police killings of black Americans account for anestimated 55 million additional days of poor mental health for black Americans per year, almost matching the number of poor mentalhealth days brought on by diabetes.

We are halfway through the year, and black people, as always, are braced for more footage showing our men, women and children beingharmed or threatened, often by those with the job of protecting us. Yet we continue to show up to perform our jobs, many of us working onthe front lines and putting our physical health at risk in the midst of a pandemic. An empathetic work environment can make a lastingimpact and ease an unnecessary source of stress.

We must remain vigilant in our pursuit of a more just society. But until justice swings in our direction, we have to protect our mental andphysical health against the effects of racism. Our survival depends on it.

Coronavirus testing for all L.A. County inmates ramps up - Los Angeles Times

JUNE 1, 2020 | 2:05 PM

Correctional health officials are aiming to finish testing all inmates held in Los Angeles County jails for

the coronavirus by next week.

Correctional Health Services Director Jackie Clark said her staff has already tested more than 10,000

people in custody — some of whom have since been released — and now has about 1,600 inmates

left to go. She expects the first full round of testing to be done by June 10.

Inmates still waiting on tests are those being held at the Pitchess Detention Center and in high-

security housing at Men’s Central Jail, she said.

“Then we’re going to go back and circle back to people who refused the first time,” Clark said.

https://www.latimes.com/people/alene-tchekmedyian



She said L.A. County is one of the first large correctional facilities in the country to take on a system-

wide testing effort. Many have opted instead to test only those who show symptoms.

Since the start of the pandemic, 1,952 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19, according to figures

released Monday by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Of those, 1,251 were

asymptomatic.

On Monday, nearly half the jail population — 5,539 out of 11,992 people — was quarantined,

meaning those individuals had been housed with or had contact with someone who was infected or

waiting for test results.

Clark said her staff has been hampered by a lack of rapid testing — it still takes about 24 to 48 hours

to get results. She said she tried to secure the rapid test machine made by Abbott Laboratories, which

delivers results in minutes, but the Department of Health Services was concerned about the high

number of false negatives.

“I could live with the false negative because what I want to find out is who’s positive,” she said. “The

most important thing for me is to find people who are positive, pull them out and put them in

isolation.”

If she were to secure an Abbott machine, she said she would retest every inmate who returned a

negative result using the non-rapid test.

“We keep bringing people in,” she said, noting that every new inmate is tested for COVID-19 at intake.

“If we don’t have results we don’t know where to move them.”

She said the large number of arrests during the protests over the weekend did not affect jail testing

plans because most people were cited and released.

Patrisse Cullors, the chair of Reform LA Jails, which has pushed for system-wide testing, said in a

statement that the testing figures show “what we had already foresaw, a massive outbreak in the local

jails.”

“The sheriff has deliberately and knowingly allowed coronavirus to spread by making conditions awful,

minimizing testing, not screening deputies, and keeping people incarcerated when they shouldn’t be,”

Cullors said.

Assistant Sheriff Bruce Chase, who oversees the jails, told the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission at

its meeting last month that the inmate population is just under 12,000, down 32% from before the

pandemic, after many low-level offenders were released in an effort to prevent the virus from

spreading.

Chase acknowledged that nonviolent and medically vulnerable inmates were still in the jails and that

whittling down the population was a work in progress.

ADVERTISEMENT

The jails house more than 2,000 inmates whose age or preexisting health conditions make them

especially vulnerable. Of about 5,400 inmates awaiting trial, more than 1,100 are classified as

nonviolent, Chase said.

individual and the death of a pregnant woman Monday. (Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times)

By COLLEEN SHALBY | STAFF WRITER

JUNE 1, 2020 | 5:54 PM

Los Angeles County officials Monday reported an additional 22 coronavirus-linked deaths, including a

pregnant woman who had tested positive for the virus and had underlying health issues and a person

who was incarcerated in a jail facility.

Both deaths are the first of their kind in the county related to COVID-19, health officials said.

At least 228 pregnant women in L.A. County have tested positive for the virus and 79% of them were

symptomatic. The woman who died had significant underlying health issues, Public Health Director

Barbara Ferrer said.

There have been 52 births and four stillbirths among the women who have contracted the virus. To

date, 40 infants who have been checked for the virus have tested negative.

There have been 843 confirmed cases of the virus in the county’s jail facilities, Ferrer said. Of those,

622 cases have been among people who were incarcerated.

The jail inmate whose death was announced Monday received care at a hospital where they died,

Ferrer said.

“To the loved ones of the persons who passed away, we offer our condolences.”

Correctional health officials plan to finish testing all inmates in county jails by next week.

Officials Monday also reported the death of a prison guard who had contracted the virus. TheCalifornia state prison correctional officer died Saturday after testing positive for the coronavirus.

Although the Riverside County coroner will need to determine the precise cause of death for Danny

Mendoza, 53, he could be the first staff member of the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation to fall victim to COVID-19.

A downtown Riverside protest over the death of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis policecustody went from peaceful to turbulent Monday night, June 1, as police used rubber bullets andpepper balls to push back a crowd amid exploding fireworks.

A line of officers outside the Robert Presley Detention Center surged forward, causing the crowd tosurge back. Some protesters responded by throwing water bottles at police.

Sheriff Chad Bianco said he had been hit by a thrown screwdriver but was OK. Police used smokebombs and fired pepper balls and rubber bullets at protesters, he said.

Large firecrackers or other explosives could be heard going off at one point. One firecracker blewup on a Riverside police armored vehicle.

Officer Ryan Railsback, a Riverside Police Department spokesman, said a “small amount” of arrestswere made for violating the curfew. There was some tagging vandalism at the library on Mission InnAvenue, he said.

“These are basically troublemakers,” he said of the crowd left after 8 p.m. “Pretty much the crowd ofthe people who were out here to have a peaceful demonstration, the majority of them left. We’redealing with 150 stragglers trying to cause problems. They’re not in one big group.”

As 9 p.m. approached, the protest appeared to be dying down.

The event, billed as a Stand in Solidarity demonstration, stems from what happened to Floyd, 46,who died May 25 in police custody after a Minneapolis officer kneeled on his neck. The officer wasarrested Friday and charged with murder while three other officers, who were involved in the arrest,were also fired from the Minneapolis Police Department.

While protesters urged each other to keep the peace, at least 30 to 40 people broke into the CVSon Market Street, Riverside police Chief Larry Gonzalez said. He wasn’t sure if anything was stolenor whether anyone was arrested.

Other protests took place Monday in Corona and Moreno Valley.

Gathering outside the Riverside Public Library, protesters of all races shouted “Black lives, theymatter here” and “Black lives matter.” Prompted by a speaker, they yelled “It’s our duty to fight forfreedom.”

Protesters eventually filled Mission Inn Avenue in the heart of downtown. About 40 minutes in,protesters began marching west down Mission Inn before heading along Market Street and SixthStreet.

Marchers on Orange Street stopped at 10th Street, where a row of Riverside County sheriff’sdeputies, wearing riot helmets and clutching batons, formed a line. Police also stood in front of theRobert Presley jail and ringed the lobby of the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.

Bianco was at at the scene and, at one point, he and deputies next to him took a knee along withprotesters, according to a broadcast report.

Overhead, a plane flew with the banner: “We love the police.”

Among the protesters was Jessica, Brown, a 25-year-old Cypress resident, who held a sign

“I’ve noticed over the past few years that if you kill someone black, you get substantially less timethan if you kill someone white,” she said. “It’s been painful for me to see.”

Arlington High School senior Kelleigh Fielder, 16, along with her family held a sign that read, “If youare neutral in a situation of injustice you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

Kelleigh said she decided on the message after talking with some of her friends who are black.

“It’s something I heard from MLK: ‘Silence is just letting it happen. Neutral is the oppressor,’” shesaid.

Kelleigh, who is white, said she was “blessed” to be raised by open-minded parents, her motherJackie and father Chris.

“My anger is not just for African-Americans (who have been aggrieved). I’m angry for any minority. Ican’t stand closed-minded people,” she said.

Chris Fielder said the family discussed their plans for the protest before heading to the library.

“We’re not just down here to carry a sign. You should be able to articulate your position,” he said.

Jose Zaragoza, 21, of Riverside, spoke emotionally to a sheriff’s deputy as protesters and officersstood mere feet apart at Orange and Tenth streets.

Zaragoza said his message was “God is with them as well. To me, God is first in my life. When Godis with people, they are less fearful.”

He hoped protesters there would set an example.

“If we stay peaceful, people here in this county, we could be a representative to our city and ourstate and our country. We are now in the midst of chaos. When we protest, we need to protest forpeace,” he said.

Rep. Mark Takano, D-Riverside, addressed protesters and got them to shout “Protest vote.”

Before the Riverside protest, police closed off the eastbound 91 Freeway exits at 14th Street andUniversity Avenue and the westbound 91 exit at 14th.

A number of businesses near the library, in the 3500 block of Mission Inn Avenue, boarded up theirwindows, including the Fox Performing Arts Center. Public parking garages were closed and side

Nationwide, Floyd’s death has inspired outpouring of peaceful protests against systemic racism andkillings of people of color by police. But there also have been violent clashes, punctuated by teargas and fireworks, between riot police and demonstrators along with looting, vandalism, arson andjournalists being attacked and arrested.

To quell the chaos, cities have imposed overnight curfews and governors have called up NationalGuard troops to patrol the streets.

Locally, looters struck the Hemet Valley Mall and a strip mall in San Bernardino over the weekend.Six protesters were arrested during a Temecula protest Saturday. The weekend also saw peacefuldemonstrations in Chino Hills and Moreno Valley.

About 12:30 p.m. Monday, Riverside County declared alocal emergency and imposed a countywide curfew from6 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday, superseding a 7 p.m.curfew set Monday by the city of Riverside.

County officials said the curfew was “in response toseveral areas of rioting and looting in Southern Californiaover the weekend, as well as planned protests set tooccur today in Riverside County.”

Paul Munford, pastor of the New Joy Baptist Church inRiverside and president of the Riverside ClergyAssociation, a coalition of black pastors, served on a citysteering committee after the 1998 shooting of 19-year-oldTyisha Miller by Riverside police. Miller’s death promptedprotest marches and the state attorney general to ordersweeping reforms at the Riverside Police Department.

Munford said in a Friday, May 29, interview that the violence by the public hurts those who areprotesting violence by police against blacks.

and injustice. But yet at the same time, I am sure that there are people who riot who have norespect for the police because they’ve been taunted, abused, maybe even beaten up. So it’s adifferent element,” Munford said.

“Then, unfortunately, you have people who riot and burn down buildings,” he said. “They’re justirresponsible and disrespectful riff-raff and they get mixed with the crowd of law-abiding citizenswho are protesting against injustice, and their voices get drowned. The majority of those that usuallyprotest are not the ones doing the rioting and looting.”

Protests for racial equality, woven between bouts of looting and vandalism by opportunists, continuedMonday as Southern California residents started to pick up the pieces from a destructive weekend.

Monday marked the sixth day of nationwide unrest over the death of 46-year-old George Floyd inMinneapolis police custody. Floyd, who was accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a corner

Early in the day,.an autopsy carried out by independent experts hired by the man’s family declaredFloyd died from “asphyxiation from sustained pressure” caused by the knee on his neck, putting theresults at odds with that of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office, according to CNN.

Cities and counties across Southern California set curfews in some areas as early as 1 p.m. Mondayas the National Guard and police departments attempted to avoid the looting and destructionexperienced over the weekend.

Indeed, even before nightfall, some looters in Hollywood and Van Nuys were met with LAPD policeofficers and handcuffs. Police also arrested a man in Upland for allegedly brandishing a firearm duringa demonstration, officials said.

President Donald Trump threatened to deploy military to the streets of American cities in response,saying he would send “thousands and thousands” of soldiers if governors did not shut down theprotests. Trump called governors “weak” for not arresting people during a video conference call withstate leaders, according to the Associated Press.

Sunday saw the largest number of arrests so far in Los Angeles County, including 700 in Los Angeles,73 in Long Beach and more than 400 in Santa Monica. Vandalism and looting in Long Beach andSanta Monica left businesses destroyed in the three cities, including iconic destinations such as ThirdStreet Promenade in Santa Monica and Pine Avenue and The Pike in Long Beach.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore apologized to business owners, saying his officers wereoverwhelmed by the “forces of those that wish to exact violence in the community.” The departmenttempered its response initially to avoid intimidating the peaceful protests, he said. Eighty-eightbuildings on Melrose Avenue alone were destroyed, according to Moore.

Moore, along with other county law enforcement officials, pledged to scale up their presence withassistance from from the National Guard. Some 2,000 troops will have deployed in the city byTuesday, June 2, Moore said. The police chiefs urged protesters to work with law enforcement and to

call out anyone who uses the protests as an opportunity to loot and vandalize.

“We need that communication, because in the absence of it, we have to overwhelm,” Moore said. “Wehave to bring in resources that will appear to stifle the message.”

Residents and business owners started their week cleaning up broken glass and pillaged storefrontsin Long Beach, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, San Bernardino and Hemet. Police chiefs in SantaMonica and Long Beach, in particular, took flak from residents who believed their departments did notdo enough to protect property.

Jack Sarkissian, owner of Jack’s Jewelers in Santa Monica, said looters spent two hours in his storedespite his calls to police.

“They just didn’t do anything,” he said, adding that the looters had “all the time they needed to getanything they needed.”

A petition calling for the removal of Santa Monica Police Chief Cynthia Renauld garnered more than3,000 signatures as of Monday afternoon. Renauld at a press conference warned her departmentwould catch those responsible for the coordinated looting at Santa Monica shops.

“We have been going through the city collecting that evidence. We have had our residents sending usvideos and license plates,” Renauld said. “We’ll work through this one day at a time to ensure that weprotect justice, civility and safety in the community, while still ensuring that right for people to talk to usthrough peaceful protest and the expression of what they’re feeling.”

Renauld said about 95 percent of those arrested in Santa Monica did not live in the city.

The protests in Southern California before nightfall Monday were largely peaceful, with small pocketsof looting in some areas.

The movement spilled into the San Fernando Valley for the first time Monday with hundreds ofpeaceful protesters converging in Van Nuys at what was supposed to be a canceled event. Lootersused the cover of the growing protest to hit businesses along Van Nuys Boulevard, reportedly raidinga Boost Mobile store, a dispensary and a pharmacy. At one point, some members of the crowd threwwater bottles at officers guarding boarded up shops near the Civic Center.

Looters hit a jewelry store and CVS in Encino while protesters occupied police in other areas of thecity.

Elsewhere, thousands of protesters gathered again in downtown Los Angeles, where some at CityHall yelled for National Guardsmen to “go home.”

Police fired rubbers bullets to try to disperse roughly 200 demonstrators blocking lanes on the 405Freeway near UCLA in Westwood. The crowd left the freeway and splintered after being given a five-minute warning to leave the area.

The initial event was organized by the Student Activist Project at UCLA, which had actually tried to calloff the event.

Others marched along Hollywood Boulevard carrying a sign that read “Say their names” and listingthose who have died at the hands of police. The National Guard set up with Humvees in the area totry to contain the marchers, but there were no clashes as of Monday evening.

Police arrested looters in Van Nuys and at a Rite Aid in Hollywood later in the night.

Officers in Glendora kneeled alongside protesters for an eight-minute moment of silence as a sign ofsolidarity.

In Orange County, hundreds gathered in Anaheim’s La Palma Park in the first of three protestsexpected Monday. The protesters gathered in the grass and listened to speakers describing howpolice brutality had affected their lives.

“There’s a lot of people hoping you are going to lose your sanity and attack our city and we are here toprove them wrong,” a speaker said to the crowd, drawing loud cheers.

The protesters later merged with another group in front of Anaheim City Hall, but left as policeenforced a 6 p.m. curfew.

In Riverside, more than 4,000 people protested peacefully against police violence. Many refused toleave once the 6 p.m. curfew rolled around. They clapped rhythmically as officers surrounded them

Throughout Southern California, communities braced for another long night with businesses and civicbuildings setting up barricades and police staging around potential targets for looters. In response tothe looting over the weekend, Target announced it was temporarily shutting down stores across thenation, including 20 in Southern California. The retailer pledged to continue to pay workers’ salariesand benefits while the stores are closed.

The death of George Floyd continued to shake a region that watched him die on viral cell phonevideo. It captured his last gasps for air as a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee on his neck,not easing up for several minutes, when it was too late.

Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick, days after announcing that his agency would no longer enforce

the county’s coronavirus public health order, has reversed course and agreed to stand behind local

restrictions aimed at stemming the spread of the coronavirus.

After a weekend of discussions with the county Board of Supervisors, Essick said Monday that he and

his deputies would enforce the current order until June 8 based on assurances from officials that they

would work toward a more balanced approach to reopening the economy. Deputies will continue to

emphasize education over punitive action in enforcing the order, he said.

“I am now confident in the process moving forward, that we’re going to move from an

essential/nonessential stance to a risk-based approach, and that a risk-based approach will better

align Sonoma County with the state guidelines,” he told the Santa Rosa-based Press Democrat this

week.

Board of Supervisors Chair Susan Gorin and Essick released a joint statement on Monday pledging a

collaborative approach and noting that though the county had been successful in flattening the curve

of the virus’ spread, the risk had not diminished.

“As in any complex situation, there are additional threats that must be considered — including public

safety issues that arise out of a prolonged economic shutdown. We do not yet know the full impact

on mental health, economic distress, extended family support, and child abuse,” the statement read.

“Law enforcement has already seen a marked increase in attempted suicides, domestic violence and

child endangerment. These impacts must factor into our decision-making process and policy priorities

as well.”

The county also announced the creation of an economic recovery task force aimed at shifting the

region from a stay-at-home model to one that emphasizes a “risk-based” approach to reopening.

The sheriff’s reversal comes four days after his announcement on Facebook that his department

would no longer enforce the county’s health order, which he said had “placed significant restrictions

on our freedoms.”

Essick had criticized the county’s mandate for being far more restrictive than the state order, despite

the county’s relatively low infection rate compared with other regions of California.

“Based on what we have learned, now is the time to move to a risk-based system and move beyond

blanket orders that are crushing our community,” he wrote last week.

The sheriff’s remarks came after the county’s health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, announced that officials

would hold off on allowing the reopening of some businesses following a rise in local coronavirus

cases and hospitalizations.

May 28, 2020

While Sonoma County was given the green light by the state to reopen stores, hair salons and places

of worship, Mase said it would not do so for a few weeks.

She noted at the time that Sonoma County had reported 203 new cases of the virus over the most

recent 14-day span, doubling its case rate in that time from 20 per 100,000 residents to 41 per

100,000. The county had reported 566 coronavirus cases and four deaths as of Monday.

Essick’s position quickly prompted public rebukes from county officials and statements from other law

enforcement officials reinforcing their dedication to the health order.

“The Santa Rosa Police Department will continue to support the health officer, who is the subject

matter expert, leading a safe, strategic and data driven process for reopening,” Santa Rosa Police

Chief Ray Navarro said in a Facebook post last week.

County Supervisor Shirlee Zane criticized Essick’s decision to abruptly halt enforcement without first

talking with elected officials or Mase.

“This is not the time to be breaking rank, so to speak,” she said Friday. “It’s a time for all of the elected

officials to stand together to get through this.”

Watching images of buildings on fire, shattered storefronts and armfuls of impulsively snatchedmerchandise stirs a sense of déjà vu for Bob Taylor.

The retired Los Angeles Police Department commander saw the 1992 riots so up-close a rocksmashed his patrol car windshield.

“It’s sadly reminiscent,” Taylor said. “I just saw on TV a woman at her nail salon, with debris all overthe floor. Why break into a nail salon? What are you going to take? That woman put her whole life intoher business.”

Twenty-eight years ago, civil unrest exploded after the acquittal of four police officers who – yearsbefore omnipresent cellphone cameras – were videotaped beating Rodney King, an African Americanpulled over in a traffic stop.

Today’s protests and riots follow the death of George Floyd, an unarmed African American man heardpleading for air as a Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee on his neck.

Law enforcement and political leaders around the country swiftly condemned the actions of theofficers involved.

Black Lives Matter and other civil rights groups organized protests nationwide, including all overSouthern California, that generally began passionate yet peaceful. However, several demonstrationshave deteriorated into chaos, arson and looting.

Protests can reach that breaking point when groups of people feel “their voices just aren’t beingheard,” said José I. Rodríguez, a communications scientist at Cal State Long Beach.

“If people feel justice is for others but not for them, they become disenfranchised,” Rodriguez said.











“They go to the streets to reclaim their significance and express frustration.”

Several factors can lead to a free-for-all. “It can be an act of sheer desperation, or unbridled anger, ormoral indignation,” Rodriguez said. “Then there’s herd mentality and the human tenancy to conform.People see other people doing it and think, I’m going to do it, too.”

In 1992, Taylor said he witnessed “mob mentality develop.”

“People who don’t originally go to the demonstration with the idea of throwing rocks get caught up inwhat they see,” he said.



Rioting and looting can drown out the reason for protests in the first place, said Gregory Akili, anorganizer with the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter – which advocates against policebrutality.

Still, he said, the center of the conversation must remain George Floyd.

“I do not take responsibility for behavior I don’t agree with, nor do I know their motivations,” Akili said.“That’s on them. I take responsibility for challenging the conditions that brought us to this point.”

Akili noted that riots and vandalism can also occur after a hometown sports team victory – such aswhen the Los Angeles Lakers have won NBA championships. “People act crazy,” he said. “But thatdidn’t take away from the fact that the team won.”

Fearful that their protests could slide into violence, some organizers have even pulled the plug. Agroup of UCLA students planned a demonstration in Westwood Village on Monday, June 1, but thenposted on social media: “We are deeply concerned that a peaceful protest today could be hijacked by

individuals seeking to commit crimes and damage business and property.”

Social media allows people on both ends of the spectrum to coordinate quickly, Rodriguez said. InHuntington Beach, for instance, Facebook pages called on counter-protesters to show up for ademonstration planned Sunday, May 31.

“Instigators encourage people to engage with the other side, which serves to heighten emotions,”Rodriguez said.

Based on surveys taken by Loyola Marymount University statisticians, the current unrest does notcome as a shock to most people in the Los Angeles area.

LMU’s StudyLA has conducted polls every five years since 1992 to monitor concerns about racerelations. In 2017, the poll found that residents were less hopeful than they had been in 20 years –with 58% predicting that civil disturbance could happen within five years.

“It’s not surprising that we would find ourselves in this situation again,” said Brianne Gilbert, whocoauthored the most recent study. “The ridiculous treatment of African Americans continues. Tensionbuilds until it bubbles over. Then it subsides, but it is not rectified.”

Tustin Police Chief Stu Greenberg said riots are the result of “different people with differentmotivations.”

“In general, demonstrators truly are out there to be heard toto exercise their constitutional rights,” Greenberg said. “Butthen you have the other people – the opportunists whocome and take advantage of the chaos. Often, they don’teven care about the cause.”

Tustin has not experienced rioting. But in all cities,a convergence of circumstances has created “the perfectstorm for unrest,” Greenberg said.

“We have been dealing with a pandemic, and everyone isat the end of their rope,” Greenberg said. “And we are in anelection year, with political campaigns and rallies andeverything that naturally goes with it.”

This may be the beginning of a long summer and fall,Greenberg added. “We’re not going to get much of a break.

Target Corp. is temporarily closing more than 175 stores in 13 states, including 23 Southern Californialocations, as a result of looting, property damage and violence tied to Black Lives Matter protests.

Local closures will take place in such communities as Azusa, Baldwin Park, Long Beach, LosAngeles, Santa Ana, Rosemead and West Hollywood. A total of nearly 50 California stores are on thelist, but a Target spokeswoman said that could change as “the situation remains incredibly dynamic.”

The Minneapolis-based retailer announced the closures Saturday and didn’t say when the storesmight reopen.

Employees will be paid during the closures, the company said.

A Target at Seventh and Figueroa streets in downtown Los Angeles was among the locations lootedover the weekend as protesters took to the streets, attacking police vehicles, breaking store windowsand setting multiple fires.

The protests, which also included blocking intersections and violent confrontations with police,resulted in multiple arrests, and more are likely to follow as participants are later identified.

Weekend violence also broke out in Santa Monica, resulting in a host of curfews for SouthernCalifornia cities. Additional protests in such cities as Long Beach and Santa Clarita were essentiallypeaceful.

Ground zero

The Southern California violence was spurred by similar actions in Minneapolis, where former policeofficer Derek Chauvin, a white man, has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter inthe death of George Floyd, who was black.

In a May 29 letter to employees and impacted communities, Target CEO Brian Cornell said themurder of Floyd “has unleashed the pent-up pain of years, as have the killings of Ahmaud Arbery andBreonna Taylor.”

‘Full pay and benefits’

“Our store and HR teams are working with all of our displaced team members, including the more than200 team members from our Lake Street store in Minneapolis,” he said. “We will make sure they havetheir full pay and benefits in the coming weeks, as well as access to other resources and opportunitieswithin Target.”

Cornell said the safety and well-being of Target employees, customers and the communities wherethe retailer does business is the company’s top priority.

Southern California Target stores on the temporary closure list include:

A far-reaching impact

The closures — which in many cases will involve significant repairs and restocking of stolenmerchandise when the stores reopen — will have a far-reaching impact, according to Burt P.Flickinger III, managing director for the retail consulting firm Strategic Resource Group.

“Each Target store employs 200 to 500 workers, and when service people are included that’s about700 to 800 jobs per store,” he said.

The number further increases when other retail outlets that provide service to Target workers arefigured in. All told, each Target store supports 1,000 to 2,000 area jobs, Flickinger said, and storesthat plan to reopen will face higher insurance and construction costs.

“In some cases, the cost to rebuild is prohibitively expensive, so they can’t,” he said. “It will takeanywhere from a few years to five years for some of these stores to recover.”

By TRACY BROWN | DIGITAL EDITOR

JUNE 1, 2020 | 1:47 PM

Friday’s arrest of CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez by Minnesota state police on live TV was just the

beginning.

Jimenez and his television crew were in Minneapolis reporting on the protests over the killing of

George Floyd, the 46-year-old black man who died May 25 after a white police officer pinned him

down at the neck until he stopped breathing. The incident was caught on video by a bystander.

The police officer, Derek Chauvin, was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and

manslaughter on Friday, after days of protests. Chauvin and the three other officers involved have

been fired from the department. On Monday, the results of an autopsy commissioned by Floyd’s

family found that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression.

President Trump was taken to a bunker on Friday as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the

White House. Two days later, he blamed journalists for some of the nationwide unrest.

“The Lamestream Media is doing everything within their power to foment hatred and anarchy,”

Trump tweeted Sunday. “As long as everybody understands what they are doing, that they are FAKE

NEWS and truly bad people with a sick agenda, we can easily work through them to GREATNESS!”

Times reporter recounts being hit with tear gas and rubber bullets by Minnesota police

May 30, 2020

As protests continued across the country over the weekend, many journalists covering the events

reported being attacked, injured or arrested.

Times reporter Molly Hennessy-Fiske and photographer Carolyn Cole were among a group of

journalists who were hit with tear gas and rubber bullets by Minnesota police on Saturday.

“There were at least a dozen of us there,” Hennessy-Fiske said in a video she posted to Twitter

following the incident. “We identified ourselves as press, and they fired tear gas canisters on us at

point-blank range.”

Hennessy-Fiske, who has reported from multiple protests as well as war zones, wrote it was the first

time she had been fired at by police.

On Monday, the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker posted on Twitter that it was investigating more than 100

incidents from May 28-31 including at least 36 reports of journalists “being shot at by police with

projectiles such as rubber bullets” and at least 19 arrests. The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker is a national

database for incidents of press freedom violations.

Local journalists have also reported being hit by less-lethal ammunition as they covered the protests.

On Saturday, Times photographer Luis Sinco posted a photo on Twitter of his camera hit by an LAPD

rubber bullet. KPCC and LAist reporter Adolfo Guzman-Lopez reported Sunday that “a police officer

aimed and shot [him] in the throat” while covering the protests in Long Beach that day.

The Committee to Protect Journalists issued a statement Saturday condemning these attacks.

“Targeted attacks on journalists, media crews, and news organizations covering the demonstrations

show a complete disregard for their critical role in documenting issues of public interest and are an

unacceptable attempt to intimidate them,” said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martínez de la Serna.

“Authorities in cities across the U.S. need to instruct police not to target journalists and ensure they

can report safely on the protests without fear of injury or retaliation.”

Journalists have also reported being attacked by protesters and others attending the demonstrations.

By CAROLYN COLE

JUNE 1, 2020 | 7:36 PM

MINNEAPOLIS — A peaceful protest had been going on all day at the 5th Precinct, with speakers

addressing a crowd of about 300 to 400 people. I was standing with a group of about 20 journalists,

including Los Angeles Times reporter Molly Hennessy-Fiske, clearly separate from the protesters on

the opposite side of the street from the precinct.

We saw the Minneapolis police come out of their compound and confront one young woman, using

pepper spray to get her to back up. A few minutes later, just after curfew around 8:30 p.m., the

Minnesota State Patrol formed a line about half a block down the road. The patrol told the crowd

they were in violation of the local curfew and must disperse, and soon after started firing tear gas.

As they advanced, the group of journalists moved against the wall to allow the police line to pass.

Instead, they came toward us firing pepper spray and rubber bullets. Molly yelled, “We’re reporters!”

“Wait! Where do we go?” Most of us had on helmets, gas masks and flak jackets, mine marked with

large letters, “TV,” in addition to press credentials around my neck.

We were piled on top of one another against the wall, trying to protect our faces, but an officer came

so close I could feel the full force of the pepper spray go into my left ear and eye. Unable to see, I

followed along the wall with the other journalists then reached another wall, about 4 feet high, which I

couldn’t get over. A patrol officer told me I had to get out of there, then lifted me up onto the wall

and I fell to the other side. After making it about a block, I was helped by local residents who later

took me to the hospital.

I’ve been covering conflict both nationally and internationally for many years, so I know the dangers

involved in these situations, especially when you get between riot police and protesters, but I wasn’t

expecting them to attack us directly. Molly was hit twice with rubber bullets. Another photographer

had a bloody face.

I’m very fortunate that this is the first time in 25 years at the L.A. Times that I’ve been injured. My left

cornea has been damaged by the pepper spray, but I’m hoping it will heal quickly so I can get back to

work. I believe in the important role journalists, and specifically photojournalists, play in informing

society. That role is as important now as ever. What I went through is nothing compared with the

continual abuse people of color face on a daily basis.

Protesters face off with police in downtown Santa Monica as unrest continues in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.(Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times)

By ERIKA D. SMITH | COLUMNIST

JUNE 1, 2020 | 2:53 PM

When I opened the windows of my Westside L.A. apartment on Sunday afternoon, the last thing I

expected was to get socked by the smell of whatever chemical agent had been deployed and drifted

over from Santa Monica.

It seems as if all of California — long ago scarred by race riots and populated by people who pride

themselves on having an evolved attitude toward race and justice — is raging or protesting.

Only a few blocks from the beach, people were busy shattering windows and looting stores in the

idyllic downtown, lined with palm trees and green bike lanes. Meanwhile, a few blocks away on Ocean

Avenue, the angry protesters who arrived after the peaceful protesters left were challenging police,

throwing eggs and water bottles at them in the name of George Floyd, prompting the firing of rubber

bullets and smoke grenades.

https://www.latimes.com/people/erika-d-smith

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-01/la-braces-for-another-night-of-protests



In Visalia, a man driving in a blue Jeep Wrangler sporting a “Keep America Great” flag drove through

a crowd of protesters, hitting two women — a chilling reminder of what happened in Charlottesville,

Va. Thankfully, the protesters suffered only minor injuries.

In Oakland, things have been out of control even for Oakland. Hundreds of protesters set fires, and

many threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at police. They broke into banks and office buildings, along

with small shops and restaurants, including several owned by black proprietors.

Mayor Libby Schaaf lamented that at a news conference Saturday: “This horror was visited on this

same community that we are trying to lift up.”

In La Mesa, anger over the police killing of Floyd in Minneapolis mixed with anger over the arrest of a

local black man, who police say assaulted an officer at the Grossmont Transit Center. A video of the

man’s encounter with the white officer went viral last week and now activists want the officer to be

held accountable.

“I’m so tired of seeing young black men’s lives not meaning a thing in this country,” Desmond Collins

of La Mesa told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Saturday.

Bee, brought along a banner calling out local District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, who has

repeatedly declined to charge officers involved in shootings of black men, including Stephon Clark.

“D.A. Schubert, your hands are bloody too.”

Even in Chico, clear up there in the State of Jefferson, nearly 100 people were outside holding up

signs on Saturday.

California likes to think of itself as enlightened about race.

We’re a majority minority state. A nation state. We’re proud of our diversity in all of its forms.

Sure, we’ve had riots over race and police brutality. The last one, in 1992, tore a chunk of Los Angeles

apart, but we’ve learned from them. We’ve grown. Or so the story goes.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article243127191.html



Today, we have police chiefs and district attorneys who are black, and sheriffs who are Latino.

We have a U.S. senator who is in the mix to become the first black vice president. The leader of our

state Senate is a lesbian. The leader of the state Assembly is Latino. “Auntie” Maxine Waters, the

unapologetically black congresswoman and original pain in Donald Trump’s you know what, is from

here.

We have city councils and county boards of supervisors that overwhelmingly reflect the diversity of

constituents. Politicians deliver speeches in multiple languages. Government documents are issued

that way too.

We stand up for immigrants in California, a policy position adopted after the unmitigated racist

disaster that was Proposition 187. We’ve sued the Trump administration dozens of times, often to

ensure that people don’t have to live in the shadows because of their immigration status.

ADVERTISEMENT

We have an enormous social safety net that has widespread support from taxpayers because we see

it as our responsibility to care for the least among us, who, like everywhere else in the U.S., tend to be

disproportionately black and brown.

I moved to California five years ago — first to Sacramento and then to Los Angeles — seeing these

things and only these things.

Since then, I’ve learned that the reality of this state, while far, far better than the Midwestern one that I

left, is complicated — especially for black people who make up a mere 6% of the state’s population.

That these violent uprisings and peaceful protests are happening in cities large and small, up and

down the state speaks to something black people know well and many others, especially self-

absorbed white liberals, often choose to ignore: California is not as enlightened about race as we

would like to believe.

ADVERTISEMENT

::

Don’t think for a second that what you see in our streets is only about what happened to Floyd in

Minneapolis.



These Californians are enraged about life in California, just like residents of Minnesota, Kentucky and

every other state that has been blindsided by mass protests in recent days are enraged about their

lives there. And their lives in this country as a whole.

It’s about police brutality, yes. It was only a few weeks ago that an LAPD officer was caught on video

repeatedly punching a person of color in the head in Boyle Heights.

ADVERTISEMENT

But that’s only part of it. What’s really manifesting itself on the streets from San Francisco to Santa

Monica is the absolute, incalculable rage about the race-based inequities that have been ignored for

too long by officials at all levels of California government.

The coronavirus outbreak has made this plain.

A recent Times data analysis found that black and Latino Californians who are younger than 50 are

dying of COVID-19 in significantly greater numbers than white people.

In Los Angeles County alone, the death rate for black residents is double that of white residents. For

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-25/coronavirus-takes-a-larger-toll-on-younger-african-americans-and-latinos-in-california



Latinos, it’s 70% higher. It isn’t much better in San Francisco, where researchers tested 4,160 people

for the coronavirus and found that though Latinos only made up 44% of those tested, they

accounted for 95% of the positive cases.

One reason for the disparities has to do with unequal access to healthcare. But perhaps a bigger

reason is that we have an economy that has long been stacked in favor of the white and wealthy.

While some of us had the privilege of being able to work from home and complain about having to

be on Zoom all day, many black and brown Californians had no choice but to put themselves at

higher risk of COVID-19 by ringing up groceries, driving buses and delivering Grubhub orders as

“essential” workers.

Or, people like Maria Teresa Figueroa, who had little choice but to keep working in the fields of

McFarland, a small city surrounded by grapevines just north of Bakersfield. She thought she had

COVID-19 in January and was forced to take time off, losing wages as a result.

ADVERTISEMENT

“We are working from sunup to sun down to put food on people’s tables,” she said.

Now Figueroa is on the verge of losing her housing because she can’t afford rent.

People of color are particularly vulnerable to the whims of the economy. Nationally, blacks and

Latinos have lost jobs at higher percentages than white people because of the coronavirus. And even

before the pandemic, both groups were overrepresented among California’s homeless population —

the result of many factors, but namely systemic racism and abject poverty.

So as the economy tanks and the unemployment rate climbs to levels not seen since the Great

Depression, we all know who will bear the brunt of it. Again. Think about that the next time you

grouse about why looters descended on downtown Santa Monica and the Grove — symbols of

extreme wealth in a state overrun with poverty.

ADVERTISEMENT

At last count, there were 165 billionaires in California. There are also more than 150,000 homeless

people in this state, many of whom have been living in filthy encampments for years. And now, with

housing costs that have risen unchecked for years and the added economic disruption of the

coronavirus, many more, mostly black and brown Californians are on the verge of suffering the same

fate.

So is it really all that surprising that some people, angry and possibly in dire economic straits

themselves, don’t care about causing damage and stealing from wealthy neighborhoods?

In these dark times, what gives me hope is the same thing that pulled me to California in the first

place: A willingness to recognize and figure out how to do the right thing.

That is certainly more than I can say for the red state that I left. At the time, Vice President Mike Pence

was the governor of Indiana, and he had just ignited a national fervor by signing a law that allowed

businesses to discriminate against the LGBT community on religious grounds.

It was about par for the course for him. He spent his entire time in office figuring out how to make it

harder — or at least more traumatic — for women to get an abortion, how to tie health insurance

and food stamps to work requirements, how to let more people have guns without background

checks and, of course, how to prevent same-sex couples from getting married.

I had built a life for myself in the blue island of Indianapolis. Being a woman who is black, gay and

liberal, I knew I had to leave.

On Monday, Newsom, visibly shaken and humbled after the tumultuous weekend, said black people

have lost patience because we have heard promise after promise for decades, but haven’t seen

“We prune,” Newsom admitted. “We don’t tear out the institutional racism.”

His words aren’t even close to enough, I know. We need action. As Newsom acknowledged,

government institutions have a responsibility to prove that “we’re capable of being more as a society.”

And in the weeks and months ahead, as I travel the state to tell people’s stories, I plan to hold him

and other elected officials accountable to that very thing.

For it isn’t enough to meet this moment, as Newsom is so fond of saying. We have to do something

with this moment — this pandemic, this revolt, this presidential election — so we don’t return to a

normal that, while aspirational, left so many Californians behind.

JUNE 1, 2020 | 3:25 PM

MINNEAPOLIS — Against the backdrop of a nation in turmoil and a city in the throes of protest,

George Floyd’s younger brother Monday knelt at the street corner where Floyd died at the hands of

police one week ago.

Terrence Floyd arrived from Brooklyn wearing a mask bearing the image of his older brother and a

reference to his last words, a rallying cry for demonstrators across the country against police brutality:

“We can’t breathe.”

Floyd made his way through the crowd of several hundred supporters shortly after noon, shielded by

a security detail wearing Black Lives Matter T-shirts. In a scene fitting to the times, he was flanked by alawyer who has handled police brutality cases, a pastor and a local activist.

Floyd paused first in front of a mural of his brother’s face on the wall of the convenience store where

George Floyd had stopped before police were summoned to investigate whether he had paid with acounterfeit $20 bill. Flowers and notes of condolences were piled at the foot of the mural; Floyd asked

that no one tread on them.

He bowed his head and wept.

Then he moved on to the corner where police handcuffed his brother and held him on the ground,

kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes, as was captured on the chilling videos seen round the

world.

Floyd knelt. So did the crowd. At first, they chanted George Floyd’s name. Then the street fell silent.

The pastor put his hands on Floyd’s shoulders. He shook his head and cried some more.

Someone shouted, “We’re here with you, brother!”

After about nine minutes, Floyd rose. The pastor beside him took hold of a protester’s bullhorn.

“We came in solidarity with those who have been in the streets peacefully protesting,” said the Rev.

Kevin McCall, a civil rights activist from Brooklyn who wore a baseball cap labeled “Peace.”

ADVERTISEMENT

“We’re sending a message to people all over this country: Don’t stop protesting,” he said.

The crowd began to chant, “Lock up all four” — a reference to the four officers who restrained

George Floyd, 46. All were fired, but only one, Derek Chauvin, 44, was charged with murder last

week.

An autopsy commissioned by the Floyd family found he died by asphyxiation caused by compressionto the back and neck.

“We will not rest until they get locked up,” McCall said.

Terrence Floyd took the bullhorn to condemn the looting and rioting that followed his brother’s

death. He did not want fire and violence to obscure the deeper meaning that could be realized from

his family’s tragedy. He wanted resolution, but one not marred by fury.

“I’m not over here blowing up stuff,” he said, impassioned. “What are y’all doing? You’re doing

nothing. That’s not going to bring my brother back.”

Someone in the crowd shouted, “That’s not us.”



“Whoever’s doing it — relax,” Floyd said.

He urged the crowd to respond to this latest case of police brutality in a constructive way.

ADVERTISEMENT

“Educate yourself and know who you vote for. That’s how you’re going to get it. It’s a lot of us,” he

said. “Do this peacefully.”

The crowd clapped.

“Before I go,” Floyd said, “What’s his name?”

The crowd chanted it — “George Floyd, George Floyd” — as they have at protests all week.

ADVERTISEMENT

“Keep my brother’s name ringing,” he said.

Local activist Tommy McBrayer thanked Floyd for coming to his brother’s “gravesite” and “for blessing

us with your strength, your courage and making yourself vulnerable.”

Floyd returned to his car, stopping briefly to admire a circle of flowers, notes and chalk messages at

the intersection. Someone had spray-painted on a nearby fence “Rest in Power George Floyd.” Before

Floyd got inside his car, he raised his fist to onlookers in a salute for black power.

His brother’s funeral is planned for Thursday in Houston.

“I feel like he got a little closure,” said McBrayer, 30, who grew up in the surrounding historically black

neighborhood on the city’s south side.

looting and outsiders. His friend Duwayne Mitchell, 33, said he saw white men in unmarked vans

wearing the Iron Cross insignia associated with white supremacist groups on the city’s north side late

Sunday. McBrayer and others said they planned to continue to guard the memorial.

“We want to make this corner a historical place,” McBrayer said.

For decades, academics warned that the ever-widening income gap in America could have direconsequences for California and the rest of the nation unless someone did something about it.Nothing happened.

Then came the wholly unjustified police killing of the African American Minneapolis resident GeorgeFloyd, touching off protests from coast to coast, from near the Canadian border to near the Mexicanborder. The protests broke out in Seattle and Phoenix, in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco,Miami, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia – almost everywhere with significant minority populations.

These began peacefully. But then crowds began expressing pent-up anxiety and rage left from the 11-week coronavirus lockdown, with its loss of jobs and continuing spread of the plague itself. Both hit

minorities far harder than whites largely because of their vastly contrasting living conditions andeducational levels.

Over a week of steady demonstrations, looters eventually began exploiting the protests. Some of theirraids looked well organized, likely via social media. They went after high-end shopping areas in SanFrancisco and Emeryville, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and the Santa Monica Promenade.

In Santa Monica on Sunday, May 31, legitimate demonstrators and looters split sharply, soonconducting their activities blocks apart. On swank Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles Saturday, May 30,and on Santa Monica’s Broadway the next afternoon, looters literally trampled groups of legitimatepeaceful protesters trying to divert them from storefronts.

The thieves went after goods from sneakers to sweaters, jeans to jewelry, TVs to computers andcellphones. The booty so packed their cars, SUVs and pickups that looters themselves almost could

not fit in with it. Look for much of that easy-to-sell stuff in swap meets across America.

Outside some brand-name sneaker stores, the bandits’ vehicles lined up in what seemed a systematicpattern, police so outnumbered in many places that they could not safely intervene.

Some conservatives including President Trump soon tagged “Antifa” as the culprit, with no evidence.Of course, no one knows exactly who Antifa is, so it’s a convenient, anonymous scapegoat.

But there’s much more at work here than the usual “outside agitator” suspects, to whom conservativesappear to be applying the Antifa tag, after a group that has not been very active for the last few years.

Doing that intentionally downplays and ignores the legitimate grievances of African Americans, whohave time after time seen police injure or kill unarmed persons of their race. It bypasses at least onelegitimate question: Why are police trained in the knee-on-neck technique used by Minneapolispoliceman Derek Chauvin to kill Floyd while three other cops stood by as Floyd moaned that he couldnot breathe?

But there are deeper issues. California exemplifies them, Los Angeles in particular. Said onebusinessman who recently relocated to the posh L.A. district of Bel Air, “It’s been hard for me tobelieve that I can live in luxury here, but less than five miles away are some of the poorest people inAmerica.”

Academics have noted that contrast for years, sometimeswarning it could lead to violence.

families near the top (at the 90th percentile and above) sawtheir wealth increase fivefold between 1963 and 2016.That’s compounded inequality.

Long before the Floyd murder, then, there was plenty ofinequality and reason for minority rage. The rage is now inthe open. That’s why it was no coincidence when, at leastin California, protesters and their piggy-backing lootersheaded to high-end areas.

With a long, hot summer ahead, this outbreak may lapse, but its causes won’t go away. California canhope this is not the start of the class war some scholars warned of, but the only way to make sure ofthat is to do something about the blatant inequalities in economics, policing, housing and many otherareas.

That could lead to a guaranteed monthly income for all, or something else. But there must bemovement, or the troubles may only be starting.

By RICHARD READ | SEATTLE BUREAU CHIEF

JUNE 1, 2020 | 5:28 PM

SEATTLE — Scientists studying tiny exhaled particles that could transmit the coronavirus say a

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decision to drop warnings against choral singing is

dangerous, risking more “super-spreading events” such as a Washington state choir practice linked to

two deaths.

The researchers say that the coronavirus can spread in respiratory aerosols, which may linger in the

air for an hour or more, floating farther than the six feet commonly prescribed for social distancing.

They say that choir members are particularly vulnerable to infection from airborne particles, because

they exhale and inhale deeply to sing, often at close quarters in poorly ventilated rooms.

The CDC generally dismisses the potential for airborne transmission beyond six feet, although a study

it published recently said the “act of singing” likely contributed to 53 of 61 people who attended achoir rehearsal in March getting sick, two of whom died of COVID-19. Since that incident north of

Seattle, reports have surfaced of other outbreaks after choir performances, including one in

Amsterdam that claimed four lives.

Without notice on its website May 23, the CDC altered guidance for reopening houses of worship,deleting a warning posted the previous day that said the act of singing may contribute to the

transmission of COVID-19. The warning disappeared as President Trump deemed religious institutions

essential, calling on governors to reopen them from coronavirus lockdowns.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6919e6-H.pdf

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/faith-based.html



“Removing that guidance is extremely dangerous and irresponsible,” said Jose Jimenez, a University of

Colorado chemistry professor who studies aerosols, adding it “will put people at risk of additional

super-spreading events and slow down the containment of the epidemic.”

Donald Milton, a University of Maryland bio-aerosol researcher, spoke during a May 5 webinarsponsored by multiple national music organizations — and since watched by more than 100,000

people — that stunned the choir world. Experts advised choirs and performing arts groups not to

gather again to sing in person until a vaccine or treatment for COVID-19 becomes widely available,

even if that takes two years or more.

“The CDC’s earlier recommendations were spot on, and I’m sorry to see that they’ve changed them,”

Milton said in an interview. “This is very hazardous, and we really need to not be getting together to

sing.”

The novel coronavirus surfaced only a little more than five months ago in Wuhan, China, therefore,

some degree of uncertainty about the pathogen is to be expected, as scientists study its

characteristics. But the conflicting advice from domestic and international health agencies is striking,

creating confusion as the U.S. death toll continues rising above 100,000.

The White House, reported by the Washington Post as having directed the CDC to substitute

approved guidance omitting the choir warning, declined comment. The CDC and the Department of

Health and Human Services did not respond to interview requests.

Aerosols include tiny floating pieces of pollution that make up smog and dust particles visible wafting

in rays of sunshine, said Shelly Miller, a University of Colorado professor of mechanical engineering.

She said that a person coughing can throw 300,000 or more aerosols at speeds up to 60 mph,

ranging from microscopic, at 0.7 microns, to the size of a grain of fine beach sand, at about 10

microns or more.

The novel coronavirus is about 0.1 microns in diameter — about 4 millionths of an inch, she said.

Researchers don’t yet know how many pieces of the virus might be contained in an aerosol produced

by a COVID-19 patient’s cough, but one study under peer review estimates that someone standing

and speaking in a room could release up to 114 infectious doses an hour.

The CDC says the virus spreads mainly between people in close contact, within about six feet, thedistance at which a sneeze flings heavy droplets. The CDC has adjusted its wording, and now says

that while it may be possible to get COVID-19 by touching something that has the virus on it, and

then touching one’s face, “this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”

The World Health Organization said in a March 28 tweet that, “FACT: #COVID-19 is NOT airborne,”although officials have added that the virus can spread in the air during “aerosol generating

procedures” such as intubation.

Dr. Benedetta Allegranzi, WHO technical lead of infection prevention and control, said in an email

Sunday that despite theories based on lab simulations, “there is no evidence of transmission of the

virus as an airborne pathogen.”

She said that so far, a group of more than 30 experts that reviews evidence with WHO weekly has

“not judged the existing evidence sufficiently convincing to consider airborne transmission as having

an important role in COVID-19 spread.”

But Lidia Morawska, an aerosol researcher in Australia, said WHO’s conclusions stem from decades-

old dogma that held that droplets only travel an arm’s length in the air. “There’s absolutely no basis

for the statements made by the WHO,” she said.

Researchers now know that larger, heavier droplets do tend to fall closer to where they’re exhaled,

but tiny particles can remain airborne for some time, depending on the amount of air exchange from

ventilation in a room, said Morawska, a Queensland University of Technology professor who directs

the International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health.

Since the Los Angeles Times reported on the outbreak from the Skagit Valley Chorale’s March 10

rehearsal, other super-spreading events have come to light. Four people died of COVID-19 after a

choir performance in Amsterdam on March 8, and two members of a church congregation in

Calgary, Alberta, died of the disease after a March 15 gathering that included singing.

Choir outbreaks have been reported in Germany, England and South Korea. All but one of 44

participants in a choir seminar in Losenstein, Austria, the weekend of March 6 later tested positive for

COVID-19, said Albert Bergsmann, St. Georgen choral society chairman.

“No one had symptoms during the weekend,” he said. “The danger was unfortunately just not

foreseeable at that point.”

Members of the Skagit Valley choir believed that no one present had symptoms of illness, and they

used hand sanitizer, brought their own music scores and refrained from hugs and handshakes. But



the study conducted by a research team found that one singer did have symptoms and later tested

positive for COVID-19.

Jimenez said it’s highly unlikely that the extensive spread of the virus at the rehearsal could have

occurred only through close contact and touching surfaces.

“How can one sick person be in close proximity of all those people for enough time to infect them?”

he asked. Explanations other than airborne transmission are improbable, “especially when it’s

happening in choir after choir after choir,” he said.

In a commentary published May 1 in the scientific journal Risk Analysis, a research team said thataerosols deserved urgent consideration. “The weight of the available evidence warrants immediate

attention to address the significance of aerosols and implications for public health protection,”

concluded the team of researchers at Exponent Inc., a scientific consulting firm.

Amid the uncertainty, Chorus America and the American Choral Directors Assn. advise choir groups

to rehearse and perform online for the foreseeable future, however unsatisfying that may be.

A coalition of musical and performing arts associations is raising more than $200,000 to hire two

research teams to conduct independent studies on risks of aerosol transmission by singers,instrumentalists and actors.

“It seems pretty compelling that the evidence we have so far does tell us that the virus can be

transmitted by aerosols,” said Mark Spede, Clemson University band program director, one of the

project coordinators.
