    Most People Seriously Injured, Killed by San José Police are Mentally Ill or Intoxicated Oct 13, 2023
    Show notes

    A full transcript will be available 1–2 workdays after the episode’s publication.

    A new investigation from the Bay Area News Group, KQED, and the California Reporting Project finds that the vast majority of people seriously injured or killed by San José police are either mentally ill or intoxicated. KQED’s Rachael Vasquez spoke with one of the reporters, Robert Salonga, about how that trend has only continued, if not slightly worsened, with crisis intervention training.

    The Untold Story of Richard Oakes’ Killing, Part 2 Oct 11, 2023
    Show notes

    Listen to Part 1 of this story about the killing of Richard Oakes.

    The 1972 killing of Richard Oakes, the face of the Red Power movement, still sticks with the people who worked on the case. The detective who was at the scene of the killing remembers feeling suspicious of Michael Morgan, the man who shot Oakes. The prosecutor remembers the holes in Morgan’s story that he shot Oakes in self-defense.

    And yet, Morgan was acquitted of manslaughter charges. Today, they admit that the trial was botched.

    In Part 2 of our two-part episode with San Francisco Chronicle reporters Julie Johnson and Jason Fagone, we talk about missteps in the investigation into Oakes’ death, and how the justice system in Sonoma County was stacked against him.

    Read the full story on Richard Oakes’ death in the San Francisco Chronicle.

    The Untold Story of Richard Oakes' Killing, Part 1 Oct 09, 2023
    Show notes

    Richard Oakes was the face of the burgeoning ‘Red Power’ movement when he led the famous Native occupation of Alcatraz Island in 1969.

    But like other civil rights leaders at the time, he died too soon. In 1972, Oakes was gunned down in in rural Sonoma County. His killer, Michael Oliver Morgan, stood trial for manslaughter and was found not guilty.

    The official story of Richard Oakes' death, and the circumstances surrounding Morgan's trial, are part of the reason why Oakes' legacy has been largely erased from mainstream history. Oakes' family and friends, meanwhile, never got closure. All this time, they have believed that Oakes’ death, and Morgan’s acquittal, were racially motivated.

    Now, thanks to new reporting from the San Francisco Chronicle, we know details about this story that have been kept secret for decades. In Part 1 of a two-part episode with reporters Julie Johnson and Jason Fagone, we discuss the events that led Oakes to rural Sonoma County, and the encounters that foreshadowed his killing.

    This is Part 1 of a two-part episode. Part 2 will publish on Wednesday, Oct. 11.

    Read the full story on Richard Oakes’ death in the San Francisco Chronicle.
