The gravesite of Shayne Sutherland at the Park View Cemetery in Manteca, Calif., on Feb. 25, 2024.
The city of Stockton has agreed to settle a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Shayne Sutherland, a 29-year-old who died after being held face down by Stockton Police officers in 2020, for $6 million, the family’s attorneys announced Thursday.
Sutherland’s mother, Karen Sutherland, said nothing could replace her son, but the settlement feels like an acknowledgment of responsibility from Stockton Police that she has been hoping for.
“It shows that they’re taking responsibility for their police officers causing the wrongful death of my son,” she said.
The Stockton Police Department did not respond to requests for comment about the settlement and would not discuss the case for an earlier story reported by The California Newsroom and The California Reporting Project.
Sutherland died after an early morning run-in with Stockton Police Officers Ronald Zalunardo and John Afanasiev at an AMPM convenience store.
Sutherland had been acting strangely in the store, wandering in and out and asking to use the store phone and the clerk’s cellphone, according to police reports, surveillance footage and 911 recordings. He called 911 himself and said he needed a taxi.

The store clerk also called 911 to report that Sutherland was threatening him with the wine bottle.
When the officers arrived, Sutherland followed them outside, sat against a wall as instructed and answered the officers’ questions. After a while, Sutherland stood up suddenly, and officers tackled him to the ground, holding him face down for about eight minutes, according to body camera footage.
The Sutherland family filed the federal civil rights suit against the city of Stockton, Officers Zalunardo and Afanasiev and former Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones in 2021, citing wrongful death, negligence and excessive use of force.
Sutherland left behind a son, 8, and daughter, 7. At the press conference announcing the settlement, his mother spoke of the hole his death left in their lives. His son wears a keychain with a photo of Sutherland, she said, and his daughter asks about why he died so young.
The settlement funds will go to Sutherland’s two children and his mother. The Stockton City Council has approved the settlement, but a judge still needs to sign off.
Experts have warned for decades that holding people face down for prolonged periods can compress a person’s torso and restrict their ability to breathe and pump blood.
A 1995 U.S. Department of Justice bulletin warned that face-down holds — known as prone restraint — can result in positional asphyxia or not being able to breathe due to the position of the body.
The DOJ bulletin advises officers to turn people onto their sides or sit them up as soon as they’re handcuffed to allow them to breathe more easily.
Zalunardo and Afanasiev handcuffed Sutherland within 30 seconds but didn’t turn him over until nearly eight minutes later. Afanasiev put his weight on Sutherland’s back for about half of that time.
Seth Stoughton, a former police officer who now teaches law at the University of South Carolina, said that deaths following prone restraint are easy to prevent as long as officers follow this procedure.
“I would say any, or at least damn near any defensive-tactics use-of-force trainer, any police expert, they’re going to tell you: Once someone has been handcuffed, you get them off their stomach, even if they’re still struggling,” he said.
Assemblymember Mike Gipson, who authored the bill, is a former police officer. He said the bill was inspired by the deaths of numerous people, including George Floyd and Angelo Quinto, who died after being held face down by police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Antioch, California, respectively.
Gipson said the potential deadliness of prone restraint necessitates a total ban.
“We cannot afford these techniques to be used at all,” he said.
Gipson stressed the need for more comprehensive training to prevent these deaths and accountability for those who have died.
A February 2024 investigation by the California Newsroom and the California Reporting Project found that between 2016 and 2022, at least 22 people died in California after being held face down by police.
At least two of those people died after AB 490 went into effect.
Despite the Sutherland case and decades of warnings by experts about the dangers of prone restraint, the Stockton Police Department made an updated use-of-force policy effective on March 11, 2024, that states that positional and restraint asphyxia “remain the subject of debate among experts and medical professionals” and “are not universally recognized medical conditions.”
The department did not respond to requests for comment about the updated policy.
Families of people in California who have died following prone restraint have won at least $41 million in lawsuits across the state, according to court documents and press reports obtained by the California Newsroom and the California Reporting Project.
The Sutherland settlement is not included in that tally, as a judge hasn’t approved the agreement.
The San Joaquin County Medical Examiner attributed Sutherland’s death to a cardiac arrest and noted that meth intoxication also played a role. The death was ruled accidental.
However, the Sutherland family commissioned a second autopsy as part of the lawsuit. Former San Joaquin County Medical Examiner Dr. Bennet Omalu, who performed the procedure, ruled Sutherland’s death a homicide and said he died due to positional asphyxia.
Karen Sutherland said she hopes the hefty settlement will help deter other police departments from similar practices and encourage officers to follow their pledge to protect and serve.
“Because what happened that day on Oct. 8, 2020, with my son as he’s begging for his life and not a threat at all, they weren’t practicing what they should have been,” she said.
“I want this to never, ever happen again,” she said.

Today, after a decade of sentencing changes, federal court intervention and a surge of releases tied to COVID-19, California’s prisons house about 93,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of that trend, Newsom has already moved to close four prisons over the course of his administration. He projects that those shutdowns will save the state $3.4 billion by 2027.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He suggested on Friday that the forces fighting prison closures — labor unions representing prison employees, the communities dependent on prison jobs, legislation and litigation intended to slow or stop the closures — forced him to take smaller steps than shuttering entire facilities while he crafted his plan to close a projected \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/05/california-budget-deficit-newsom-may-proposal/\">$27.6 billion deficit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Prison housing unit deactivations can happen much sooner than prison closures and provide us more flexibility,” Newsom said. “Legislative leaders have asked me, are we considering collectively reducing the larger footprint in the state? The answer is yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But we want to do it in a pragmatic and thoughtful way, we want to be mindful of labor concerns and community concerns, we want to be mindful of trends and we want to be mindful of the unknown, meaning there are proposals to roll back some of our criminal justice reforms that could have significant impact on the census and population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California cities fight prison closures\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So far, Newsom closed the Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy in 2021 and the California Correctional Center in Susanville in 2023. He ended a lease with a privately run prison called the California City Correctional Facility, and the corrections department is shutting down Chuckwalla Valley State Prison near the Arizona border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom at Friday’s budget press conference said he would accelerate the proposed March 2025 closure of Chuckwalla prison in Blythe to November, although his office hasn’t yet provided details on how much money that would save the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That news surprised leaders in Blythe, where city officials had attempted to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2023/05/california-state-prison-closure/\">save the prison\u003c/a> as one of the community’s major employers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This news is disheartening to say the least,” said Blythe Interim City Manager Mallory Crecelius. “Expediting the closure was not discussed with the city prior to it being included in the May (revised budget), and we learned about it with everyone else. Our hearts are heavy for the employees and inmates at (Chuckwalla Valley State Prison) whose lives will be directly impacted as this prison is shuttered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the declining inmate headcount, California can close \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2023/05/california-state-prison-closure/\">up to five more of its 33 prisons\u003c/a> and eight yards within operating prisons while still complying with a federal court order that caps the system’s capacity, the Legislative Analyst’s Office found last year. The report estimated the potential savings at $1 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2024/01/california-prison-cost-per-inmate/\">costs of incarcerating prisoners\u003c/a>, meanwhile, is more than ever, rising to $132,860 per inmate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those numbers have prompted Democratic lawmakers over the past several years to press for more closures, particularly as they try to protect social services from budget cuts or to put money into inmate rehabilitation programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the people you’re serving in the department continues to go down, why is the cost going up?” Democratic Assemblymeber James Ramos of San Bernardino asked corrections department officials at an April budget hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Prison union sees safety risks in closures\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Amber-Rose Howard, executive director of Californians United for a Responsible Budget, which advocates for reducing the number of prisons and cutting the prison population, said Newsom’s proposal to close yards instead of whole prisons misses an opportunity for bigger savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11985798,news_11985798,news_11981977\"]“The truth is, it doesn’t go far enough,” Howard said. “When only a single yard is closed, then that means that there’s still tens of millions of dollars being spent on operational costs (and) administrative staffing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She noted that the state still has 15,000 empty prison beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These yard deactivation will save $80 million annually,” she said, “and that’s not even equal to the cost savings of one prison closing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has previously said he wanted to maintain some capacity in the prisons to provide more space for rehabilitation efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Correctional Peace Officers Association, the union representing prison guards, has argued that shuttering prisons puts guards and inmates in danger. It’s a heavyweight in the Capitol, and it has supported Newsom.

Also, I believe that Jesus Christ was a revolutionary and he was a radical,” Williams said. Emphasizing Glide’s embrace of second chances, he said, “People tell me, this is the first time that we’ve come to church and felt good. Most churches people go to feel guilty.

The grandson of slaves, Williams told NPR’s Michele Martin in 2013 that his mother decided early on that he would be a pastor when he grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So they called me ‘Rev’ when I was 2 years old and when I was 6 years old,” he said. “It was ‘Rev, Rev, Rev.’ So here I am. You know, here’s the reverend,” Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating with a degree in theology from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Rev. Williams was recruited by the United Methodist Church in San Francisco — then a very small and dying house of worship whose members were all white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After attending the 1963 March on Washington, D.C., where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, Williams arrived in San Francisco. It was a more conservative time — the city had a Republican mayor, George Christopher — and the San Francisco police routinely arrested people at gay bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams quickly decided that to be relevant in the turbulent 1960s, Glide needed a different approach, which he described in an interview with the local CBS television station in 1971.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that we have to radicalize things to get things done very quickly. Also, I believe that Jesus Christ was a revolutionary and he was a radical,” Williams said. Emphasizing Glide’s embrace of second chances, he said, “People tell me, this is the first time that we’ve come to church and felt good. Most churches people go to feel guilty. I don’t know why churches want to make people feel guilty. We work out our problems together, you see,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11985899\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11985899\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/04_20240512-CecilWilliams-JY-039_qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A person in a suit plays a tambourine in a church.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/04_20240512-CecilWilliams-JY-039_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/04_20240512-CecilWilliams-JY-039_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/04_20240512-CecilWilliams-JY-039_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/04_20240512-CecilWilliams-JY-039_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/04_20240512-CecilWilliams-JY-039_qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boxinett King plays the tambourine during a celebration of life for Reverend Cecil Williams at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco on Sunday, May 12, 2024.

Let’s say you have renters insurance, and your deductible for stolen property is $1,000, but your bike is worth $1,200. This means that you may ultimately get just $200 from your insurer to buy a replacement. But if your bike is worth less than the deductible — let’s say a $800 bike with a $1,000 deductible — then sadly, your insurance won’t be much help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to keep in mind: \u003ca href=\"https://www.progressive.com/answers/replacement-cost-vs-actual-cash-value/\">Some insurance policies cover personal property based on its actual cash value (ACV)\u003c/a> and not its replacement cost (RCV). The difference is that RCV represents what an object is worth at purchase, while ACV is what it is worth when the owner loses it. Most insurance policies will argue that items like cars, motorcycles and bikes lose value over time. So, if you bought a $2,000 bicycle ten years ago, the RCV is $2,000 — but your insurance company may tell you that the ACV is much lower than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you decide to file a claim with your insurance company, remember that you will have to provide a police report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"howcanyoureportastolenbiketothepolice\">\u003c/a>How can you report a stolen bike to the police?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you choose to get the police involved, keep in mind different police departments vary in how they look for missing bikes, but most will usually ask you for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The bicycle’s make\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Its model\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Its serial number\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sometimes, proof of purchase as well\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11984794\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11984794 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alison LaBonte measures the distance between her bike’s brakes on April 30, 2024, at the Bicis del Pueblo repair shop in the Mission District. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some cities, like San José, collect abandoned bicycles that are not on private property and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjpd.org/reporting-crime/bicycle-theft\">compare the serial numbers of these bikes with those reported as stolen\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to mention that not everyone is comfortable with dealing with the police.

Let’s say you have renters insurance, and your deductible for stolen property is $1,000, but your bike is worth $1,200. This means that you may ultimately get just $200 from your insurer to buy a replacement. But if your bike is worth less than the deductible — let’s say a $800 bike with a $1,000 deductible — then sadly, your insurance won’t be much help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to keep in mind: \u003ca href=\"https://www.progressive.com/answers/replacement-cost-vs-actual-cash-value/\">Some insurance policies cover personal property based on its actual cash value (ACV)\u003c/a> and not its replacement cost (RCV). The difference is that RCV represents what an object is worth at purchase, while ACV is what it is worth when the owner loses it. Most insurance policies will argue that items like cars, motorcycles and bikes lose value over time.

Nearly half of the Antioch Police Department was temporarily \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11974853/judge-finds-8-antioch-police-officers-tainted-by-racial-bias-reduces-criminal-charges\">placed on leave, the chief resigned, and the officers’ racial bias\u003c/a> tainted dozens of criminal cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amiri, Rombough and Wenger’s use of force against plaintiffs Jessie Wilson and Dajon Smith was allegedly \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11947876/antioch-police-racist-texting-scandal-confirms-what-many-black-and-brown-residents-have-decried-for-years\">part of a years-long pattern\u003c/a> in which they planned and carried out excessive force against minorities, especially Black people, according to the federal lawsuit filed Wednesday in the Northern District of California. The officers allegedly referred to their targets as “gorillas,” among other derogatory language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the incidents in question against Wilson and Smith took place in 2021, it’s only because of the unearthed text messages that they have the evidence they need to sue, their attorney Fulvio Cajina told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason we’re bringing this lawsuit now is because we didn’t have the information to bring this lawsuit before,” Cajina said. “It’s only because of the FBI investigation into the Antioch Police Department that we know that there was a conspiracy amongst officers to target minorities and to intentionally violate their civil rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cajina said the text messages are “sickening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Antioch Police Department and city attorney did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the officers’ planning was carried out in text messages revealed by the FBI probe in which they frequently described the desire to beat people and allow Purcy, their K-9 unit, to bite them, according to the lawsuit. In February 2019, Rombough texted Amiri, “Yeah buddy we gonna f— some people up,” court documents showed. They discussed revenge for someone “f—ing with [an officer],” and Amiri texted Rombough, “blood for blood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January 2021, an officer texted Amiri to ask about his interaction with a suspect. Amiri responded, “lol putting a pistol in someone’s mouth and telling them to stop stealing isn’t illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson was injured on Aug. 24, 2021, when Antioch police officers, including Amiri and Rombough, executed a search warrant to enter an Antioch residence, then entered Wilson’s locked room while he was sitting on an air mattress playing video games, according to the lawsuit. An unnamed officer pinned Wilson’s left arm down against his bed, and Rombough shot him with a 40mm less-lethal launcher, according to the indictment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A less-lethal launcher fires bean bags or sponge bullets and is intended to be used in crowd control environments, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.lesslethal.com/products/37mm-40mm/alstac-40-detail\">the website of Pacem Defense\u003c/a>, a company selling this type of launcher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rombough’s report about the incident differed from those written by other officers. An unnamed sergeant wrote to Rombough to critique his report, “you write that [Wilson] didn’t comply, but he clearly had his hands up at first. You need to describe way better what happened,” according to the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='antioch-police-department']When Antioch Police Department superiors became aware of the officers’ misdeeds, they helped them avoid discipline and accountability by concealing their actions in police reports, the suit alleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith, a Black transgender woman, encountered the officers after she allegedly stole a Maserati on Oct. 26, 2021. The incident can be seen in officer-worn body camera footage \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/12/03/antioch-releases-video-of-officers-shooting-less-lethal-round-at-transgender-woman-whose-hands-were-raised/\">obtained by the Bay Area News Group\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antioch police officers, including Wenger, surrounded Smith and the Maserati at an Antioch grocery store. Smith came out of the vehicle and faced the officers. Wenger can be heard saying to another officer, “You got the 40?” meaning the less-lethal launcher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith stood by the vehicle with her hands up, and Wenger shot her in the chest with a 40mm less-lethal launcher. Antioch police officers are trained that the chest is a “potentially lethal” area to shoot someone with a 40mm less-lethal round, according to the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Smith begins to recoil in pain, the officers pin her to the ground and sic their police dog on her.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
