An important story with powerful photos and graphics from @LeoMCastaneda @daviddebolt @fiona_kelliher @RandyVMedia @rayinaction @HattieRowan @MercPai @daisugano @karlmondon @NhatVMeyer @jcfphotog
When COVID arrived in the Bay Area, shelter-in-place was supposed to protect Latinos. It didn’t. It may have made things worse. An investigation from The Mercury News found why the people most at risk of the new virus were left with the least protection. https://t.co/rD1tb2ujIo

@MaggieAngst @sjpdchief @SanJosePD @FreedomofPress @mercnews Maggie, I’m troubled to read this, and I’m sorry for it, and for what you and the person accompanying you have endured. Chief Garcia is trying to determine the identity of the officers involved, and to get to the bottom of it. I will call you later today.

In case you're not keeping track, two @mercnews employees were lawfully covering protests in San Jose & San Francisco tonight, & despite identifying themselves as press, one was forcefully told to get on the ground and threatened with a baton, the other was zip-tied and searched

To @SanJosePD @CityofSanJose, @sliccardo @sjpdchief @SJPDPIO My @mercnews colleague @MaggieAngst, despite identifying as a reporter - exempt from curfew - was roughly detained by officers. Unacceptable. Your officers must let us do our jobs. We're here to tell your story too.
Another reporter and I were brought down by cops, told to put our faces to the ground and threatened with a baton — even after we told them we were with the media, which is allegedly exempt from San Jose’s curfew order @sliccardo @sjpdchief @SanJosePD @FreedomofPress @mercnews
