I don't know how many wrongful death cases the RPD have to catch before city officials do something about the corruption in our police department, but as a proud native, I've been in fear of the RPD since they killed Tyisha Miller in 99' around 4 minutes away from where I was at the time.

Riverside city agrees to settle shooting death for $800,000, as report on incident is offered

Correction:

An earlier headline for this story incorrectly stated the amount Riverside has agreed to pay to a man's family. The city has agreed to pay $800,000.

The city has agreed to pay $800,000 to the family of a man shot to death by Riverside police.

The announcement came Wednesday as the Community Police Review Commission's investigator gave a report about the October 2006 shooting death of Douglas Steven Cloud.

City officials would not comment on the decision to pay $800,000, which was independent of any decision the commission might make.

Cloud's mother, Teresa Cloud, addressed the board.

"He was shot with no warning," she said. "He didn't deserve to be gunned down."

The family sued the city and the Police Department in federal court for civil rights violations and wrongful death.

The commission will now review the report and deliberate on whether the shooting was within policy and make recommendations. Private investigator Butch Warnberg provided a 61-page report detailing interviews with witnesses and taped interviews of officers supplied by the Police Department. The report offered new information that officers believed Cloud may have been armed and attempting to reach for a gun. No gun was found after the shooting.

That account is different from what police Capt. Jim Cannon told the civilian review board in a briefing on the shooting weeks after it occurred. At that time, he said that Cloud was driving recklessly and suggested that officers shot Cloud because he was trying to run them down.

According to Warnberg's report, Cloud stole a paint sprayer from Home Depot on Indiana Avenue in Riverside. Employees chased him through the parking lot and he was beaten at his car by several people.

An officer at Home Depot reported Cloud as a suspect in a robbery at the store. Cloud drove away and crashed into a palm tree and a truck.

A man working at a nearby car dealership tried to help him and soon 11 officers were on scene. Officer Brett Stennett, trained in emergency medicine, tried to open the mangled car's doors and then unsuccessfully tried to pull Cloud through a window, Warnberg said.

Officer Nicholas Vazquez told Stennett to step back. Cloud did not speak when police requested he put his hands up or get out of the car, Warnberg said.

Within 20 seconds of the officers arriving, Cloud was shot five times by Vazquez and Officer David Johansen, Warnberg said.

Johansen said he saw Cloud move his right hand as if reaching for a weapon.

"If I would have waited, I would have been shot," he said in the taped interview, according to Warnberg's report.

Riverside Unified to cut 319 full-time positions, rejects teacher pay deal

10:00 PM PST on Monday, February 25, 2008

RIVERSIDE - Riverside Unified officials announced Monday that the district will eliminate the equivalent of 319 full-time positions for the next school year, cutting $26.6 million from its 2008-09 budget.

Today, the school board may vote to close Grant Elementary School, the district's smallest grade-school campus, and take more budget-trimming actions such as eliminating its SAT preparatory classes and the Riverside Virtual School, the district's online instructional program.

"If we're really going to do that, they need to know that as quickly as possible," board president Chuck Beaty said.

The cuts come in response to an anticipated decrease in state funding.

Monday's announcement came after the school board voted on Friday to trim its teaching and other certificated work force by 10 percent, its managerial staff by 11 percent and the number of classified positions by 6 percent.

The board also voted Friday to reject a tentative deal giving teachers a 6 percent raise in salary through June 2009.

"Our feeling is we're going to hold them accountable to the tentative agreement," said Mark Lawrence, head of the Riverside City Teachers Association, the local teachers union. "We may have to go back to the table but we could end up in an impasse very quickly."

Riverside Unified, the second-largest school district in Riverside County, last year counted 1,845 teachers on its payroll, according to state education data. Affected employees will get pink slips by March 15, district officials said Monday.

Among the decisions, the board approved eliminating the district's kindergarten through second-grade class-size reduction program, class-size reduction in ninth-grade math and some language arts classes.

The board also voted to eliminate the elementary music program, including six itinerant music teachers, and the elementary counseling program. Each high school will lose a counselor, and five high school librarian positions will be eliminated.

District officials said that some of those 319 positions could be eliminated through attrition.

"Lots of things can change between now and when the state adopts its budget," said Deputy Superintendent Mike Fine, the district's chief finance officer. "We will adjust accordingly as the state adjusts."

Students at Grant Elementary were to take letters home to their parents Monday, alerting them to the possible closure. The board may decide on the school's fate during today's open study session at 2 p.m. in the board room, 6735 Magnolia Ave.
