Ex-Antioch officer admits conspiring to ‘injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate’ the people of Antioch trib.al/XxDZAbw

"In his book, Steele compares Rodriguez to the New Testament figure Timothy, who was beaten to death by a pagan mob after speaking out against them. “In many ways,” he wrote, “young Valentino, like Timothy, would remain courageous and committed to the truth all the way till the end.” -@SukeyLewis & @SmallRadio2 kqed.org/news/12017652/… via @KQED

A Whistleblower in New Folsom Prison revealnews.org/podcast/a-whis… via @reveal w/ @Al_Letson, @SukeyLewis & @SmallRadio2

“Steele wasn’t the first whistleblower to feel like he had a target on his back. Over the years, officers who have reported misconduct have found “rat” written on their windshield, received threatening phone calls, been left with no backup in dangerous situations and even been followed home at night.” -@SukeyLewis @SmallRadio2 kqed.org/news/12017652/… via @KQED

At the time of his death, Sgt. Kevin Steele was chronicling his decade at CA’s New Folsom prison, where he had become increasingly frustrated with a system he came to see as corrupt and antithetical to his deep Christian faith. kqed.org/news/12017652/…

Join Mass Media at Berkeley Law (MMaBL) and Berkeley alum @sukeylewis (‘15), host of the award-winning podcast “On Our Watch” from @npr and @kqed for a conversation about investigative journalism, government, transparency, and corruption and violence in California prisons.

For decades, law enforcement agencies across California have used confidential settlements to bury the misconduct of their officers. Our investigation (+@SmithCaseyA) examines the system that supports these secret deals. Check it out in the @sfchronicle. sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/…

This important @latimes story exposes an outrageous attempt by the LA Sheriff's Department to criminalize constitutionally protected journalism and lays bare the department's buffoonish investigation driven by clownish critical thinking. 🤡 latimes.com/california/sto…

I need everyone in CA to listen to @SukeyLewis and @SmallRadio2’s 2nd season of On Our Watch, which focuses on violence and corruption at New Folsom prison. Incredible reporting and storytelling. If you have any heart at all, it will fill you with rage. kqed.org/podcasts/onour…

@SukeyLewis just finished “On Our Watch”. Outstanding reporting and story telling.

“If there’s a policy against sharing confidential information and an officer shares it anyways, even if the purpose is to blow the whistle on misconduct, the officer can still be punished.” 1/2

Thank you to all the journalists who made this season possible from @KQED @ucbsoj @UCBerkeleyIRP and many more!

The judge's ruling came just as we were putting the finishing touches on the finale of this season of On Our Watch, which draws on these records to take listeners inside New Folsom prison. Please listen and spread the the word: kqed.org/podcasts/onour…
