Federal crime bills put more police on the streets and fewer restraints on their behavior. Police officers falsify their official reports to cover up their brutality; their fellow officers look the other way. The corporate-owned mainstream media slander the victims of police abuse and whitewash police behavior. Fearing lawsuits against their municipalities, district attorneys and bureaucratic officials rally around the cops who are almost never investigated or disciplined.
What is going on nationally is going on locally. In the past several months many of our neighbors have been the recipients of callous and inhumane treatment from police. The local press has not only failed to investigate these incidents, they have frequently distorted events to favor police. Police have shown little regard for people and claim they need these powers to do their job. Frightening national trends are being experienced in Sonoma County and the entire North Coast
In 17 Sonoma County cases in the past two years, excessive force and neglect have resulted in death. In fact, in the slightly longer than 9-month period from 8/29/96 to 6/4/97, seven citizens died as a result of police interventions. Sonoma County currently has the highest rate of in-custody deaths of all the Bay Area counties.
Many of Sonoma County's police-related deaths were the result of "911" calls about distraught persons causing a disturbance. Sonoma County District Attorney Mike Mullins has ruled each of the excessive force and shooting deaths (except for Dale Hughes) as "justifiable" use of force. With each of these rulings the DA is telling local police that excessive force is an acceptable way to deal with distraught persons or persons involved in minor disturbances.
