Photo Alejandro Galicia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p2\">Protesters gathered along the slope of Bernal Hill at the site of Alejandro \u201cAlex\u201d Nieto\u2019s memorial on Aug. 22 to begin a three-mile march from the Mission District to the San Francisco Federal Building. There, the more-than 100 supporters celebrated the Nieto family\u2019s decision to file a civil lawsuit against the city to expedite the investigation into the 28-year-old Nieto\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Nieto was fatally shot March 21 by San Francisco police officers responding to an anonymous 911 call, and five months later, his family is still no closer to finding answers. The Medical Examiner\u2019s office has not released its pathology report; Mayor Ed Lee has made no public comment about the incident; and police have not disclosed the names of the involved officers, the number of bullets fired, the original 911 calls, or eyewitness reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">This lack of action has stalled the legal process surrounding the incident and angered the community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cAlex Nieto is a man betrayed,\u201d said Adriana Camarena, a member of the Justice for Alex Nieto Committee. \u201cInstead of the facts, the public has received a curated version of the facts by police. We are here because we do not believe that version of events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">According to a report given by Police Chief Greg Suhr during a town hall meeting in March, four SFPD officers confronted Nieto just after 7 p.m. and shot him to death when he refused to relinquish a firearm that he, allegedly, aimed at them. The officers then discovered that the weapon in question was not a gun, but rather a work-issued Taser that Nieto carried for his job as a nightclub security guard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Although the SFPD justified the officers\u2019 use of lethal force, supporters of Nieto disagree with the department\u2019s history of events, in large part because Nieto studied criminal justice at City College of San Francisco and planned to pursue a career as a parole officer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24511\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Alex-Nieto_03web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24511 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Alex-Nieto_03web.jpg?resize=600%2C402&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Manifestantes en la marcha y vigilia de Alex Nieto son escoltados por la polic\u00eda en la calle 24, el 22 de agosto.

Photo Alejandro Galicia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cAlex was a good friend of mine,\u201d said Mission neighbor Joey Vaez. \u201cNone of their story adds up. As someone who was in the criminal justice department at San Francisco City College, he knew police protocol. It just doesn\u2019t make sense. It\u2019s frustrating and enraging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Protestors at Friday\u2019s march, known as the \u201cAlex Nieto Rises! March for Civil Rights Against Police Killings,\u201d echoed Vaez\u2019s anger over the recent surge in police-related violence. As the marchers passed through The Mission, they chanted, \u201cFire racist cops!\u201d and \u201cHow do you spell murder? S-F-P-D!\u201d They expressed solidarity for the struggles of protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, where earlier this month, police gunned down 18-year-old Michael Brown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cPeople are calling us from all over the world in solidarity with Ferguson,\u201d said political activist and 33-year Mission resident Gloria La Riva, who had just returned from protesting in Missouri. \u201cThis is international. It\u2019s not fear; it\u2019s utter racist disregard for the people. We have to fight together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Other victims of police violence marched alongside the Nieto family, including La Mesha Irizarry, the mother of Idriss Stelley. Stelley was shot 48 times by nine SFPD officers on June 12, 2001. To this day, none of the officers involved have been held accountable. Musician and activist Francisco Herrera, whose cousin was killed by police in Indio, California, also rallied with protesters. \u00a0Herrera fasted in front of City Hall for eight days to raise awareness for the plight of undocumented minors crossing the United States border. On Friday he broke his fast in support of justice for Alex Nieto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThose kids at the border,\u201d Herrera said. \u201cThey\u2019re fleeing the same thing that killed Alex: the militarization of our society. If a police officer cannot work out a nonviolent issue without guns, he should not be a police officer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Despite the anger felt by protestors, the march proceeded peacefully. Aztec danzantes led the march by dancing the entire three-mile route from Bernal Hill to the Federal Building. SFPD officers on motorcycles facilitated the march and did not have any negative encounters with protesters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cYou\u2019re not hearing anyone say, \u2018F the police,\u2019\u201d said Irizarry. \u00a0\u201cWe believe in humanity. We believe that humanity can be restored. Nobody needs to be butchered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">After hours of marching, the protesters reached the Federal Building and listened to several speakers talk about Alex and the injustice of police impunity. Among those who spoke was family attorney John Burris, who expressed confidence that the police report given by Chief Suhr would be disproved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cEven though we have not received the pathology report,\u201d Burris said, \u201cwe did see the body and take photographs of it, so we know what happened in terms of the number of shots. We feel very comfortable saying that the 10 shots fired on Alex were an execution, and were not justified by any conduct in which he engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">After Burris and his associate, Andante Pointer, spoke to the crowd, the long day of protest came to a close. \u00a0\u201cGente,\u201d announced Benjamin Bac Sierra, a close friend of Alex\u2019s and organizer of the march. \u201cI want you to remember this day, this beautiful day, for the rest of your lives. \u00a0This is the beginning of the fight, not the end.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protesters gathered along the slope of Bernal Hill at the site of Alejandro \u201cAlex\u201d Nieto\u2019s memorial on Aug. 22 to begin a three-mile march from the Mission District to the San Francisco Federal Building.
