Barely a week after a controversial decision about a Citizen Police decision to fire Ann Kirkpatrick, there is an increa increase. This model in oakland needs to be repealed and replaced. Reporter in her parting words to the Police Commission that voted to fire her, Ann Kirkpatrick said she believes the powers of the Citizen Panel should be reined in. I think everybody is surprised at the level of that power. Theyre not elected. The city council is really the representatives of the community. But the City Council President is proposing the Police Commission be given even more power. Loosens the grip of the commission. In a proposed resolution, would it no longer include mayoral employees. Prevent city administrators from investigating commissioners and immediately review finding and discipline in all cases of Serious Police misconduct. The timing is absolutely wrong of the. He supports the commission but not moving the increase the powers so soon after kirkpatricks firing. For me, it is very clear at the end of the day, with any commission, committee, any action in thisty, the council should be at the end head responsible. The resolution set to go before the Ruse Committee hears just a draft at this point. It will likely go through many modifications and to the city council before being presented to voters. Possibly in november. Laura anthony, abc7 news. Lets get a look at the weather.

All over the bay area looking at the issues both good and bad. We want to know what you think. Dan ashley checking in with the riders. Hi, dan. Reporter hey, larry, hey, ama. Were having a really interesting time at the b. A. R. T. Station. We have waves of people that weve been speaking with. Trying to get a handle as we focus this issue as part of our effort to build a better bay area. To understand in very real terms what the issues are, the challenges, where the successes have been, and where the failures and points of concern still exist. Were talking to people and asking then to participate by writing on our dear b. A. R. T. How would you make b. A. R. T. Better white board. You hear less crowded. Heres one. I would make b. A. R. T. Free. I dont expect that to happen. Stop fare evaders. I heard a lot of that. People concerned about fare evaders and cleanseliness as well. New and improved website is not better. Go back to the old one. Keep it safe and clean. Make b. A. R. T. More comfortable for long commutes. Better than driving in San Francisco traffic. That can certainly be true. All things considered, it is true. Better for driving, better than the environment. And im joined here by earl davis who lives in Pleasant Hill. Thanks for stopping and talking to me. What are your impressions . You ride every day. I get out early in the morning. The trains are always on time. When i leave in the afternoon, theyre very crowded. Sometimes very uncomfortable. Sometimes the air conditioning isnt working or the heater doesnt work in the winter time. But in general, i use it. It is very convenient for me. And i like it. Okay, good. Youve seen some improvements . I would like to see the new cars rolled out faster. You know, the noise, it is still very noisy. Yeah. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Good to see you. Were asking people what they think. Were asking, let us know your thoughts. Well be back as b. A. R. T. Week continues. A little later in the hour. For right now, lets go back to you. If you ride public transit, do you like to read . How about talking to other passengers . As we strive to build a better bay area, we focus b. A. R. T. Buddies. Theyre a group of passengers who took a chance. Stuck up a strong and became friends. As far as b. A. R. T. Stories go, this one is not about broken escalators or dirty trains. But it did start with a complaint about four years ago. There was an incident on b. A. R. T. And we were just sitting on the train here delayed. And we were all getting a little bit antsy. And i started talking with karen. Diane and karen became friends. They started riding together every day from the concord station and they chatted the whole way. Other passengers noticed. And then several months down the road, we were really engrossed in a conversation. She went right past her station. Then matt came in. I got on the same train every day and i noticed that one of them had missed their stop. So i was like, do i Say Something . Do i not . I kind of tapped they will on the shroud. I said i think you missed your station. After that, matt joined in and the group started to grow. Diane would come up and greet people and say hi, im diane. Then we would start chatting. We started sitting together more often. After kate, carolyn, russ and henry followed. They called themselves the b. A. R. T. Buddies. I just kept listening to the conversations. I would smile and we would exchange knowing glances every now and then. I noticed they were talking about food a lot and movies and tv. Thats it for me. It is certainly something to look forward to. It gives me a goal to be on the train on time. Finding seats together takes some maneuvering. Theres one train that usually has more empty seats. Then the conversation begins. I was laughing the whole time. It was so ridiculous. Youre my b. A. R. T. Buddy. I can see why people move away us from. We talk a lot and we laugh a lot. And what better way to start the morning than laughing . If you had told me, i would be on coming friends, that i would become friends with people on b. A. R. T. No, way. These are some of the most, best friends that ive had. That friendship started to grow. Soon the group was meeting on weekends for birthdays, or going to the movies. It has become their support neysed up her foot a while back. I would go and pick her up in the morning, tak her to b. A. R. T. I would arrange my schedule at night to where i could pick her up and take her home. A friend group that didnt start on facebook. It was started by strange heres saw each other every day and found the strength to say hello. If you look around, everybody has their head phones on. Theyre zeroed in on their phones. They dont look around and bother to see who is around them. Its really nice to Just Exchange conversation and hear about other peoples lives. It takes me out of myself. Ive had people tap me from behind as im exiting b. A. R. T. Saying, your conversation was great today. I love on it. A couple people have said, how can i participate . Ama daetz, abc7 news. I love that. Other people are listening in. That might be the best b. A. R. T. Story that weve heard.

Okay. Drivers i feel like this is another spencer story. Theyre the worst according to researchers out of unlv, they found owners of expensive vehicles feel a sense of superiority over pedestrians, thus less likely to yield to them. In fact, the likelihood that theyll yield decreases by 3 for every thousand dollars their vehicle is words. Researchers found theyre more likely to run red lights and drive recklessly or too fast. Spencer, i dont see you doing that. Would suggest that i drive an expensive vehicle. I was going to say, i feel like it is a nice car. I drive an American Made car. But it is probably considered in the luxury category but it was not pictured in that video. His car is very comfortable. Hes a great driver. Smooth ride, stops completely. Can we get back to this show is not the spencer show. Are you sure . Very true. I think people in gentle being from hawaii. They let people go through intersections.

Welcome to oakland. Watch your step. This is the moment she could only dream about 11 years ago when her Group Outdoor afro was just a blog. I love it. But now here she is. Welcoming oprah to a healing hike shes leading at Joaquin Miller park. We like to ground oufs with outdoor afro but acknowledging what we love about nature. After sharing, they took us on a hike through the redwoods. After a moment she invited us to look up and to look within. The redwoods remind me of two things of the regeneration after being clear cut, and connection. And whenever anything is off or off balance in my life like last week, we had a crazy week. And i literally just go out under the oaks, which i call the apostles which form a grove for me. The redwoods in the front yard and i find peace and sanity there. So thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for joining us. After the hike, excitement. Oh, my god i cant believe oprah just hiked with us. For nicole, confirmation. Well, personally, i have some decisions in my life right now that i need to make. And that moment when we stood and we talked about the redwoods being connected, it kind of just happened right there. Oprah had a good time, too. This is fun. This is so much fun what made you want to come to oakland. First of all, when i heard there was something called outdoor afro, that it is breaking the illusion that people of color dont enjoy the outdoors and experience healing and empowerment from it, thats right up my alley. The experience she has is exactly the same experience we have you a over the country. She started outdoor afro for people who love the outdoors and wanted we were connected. We were outside. But we see ourselves in those magazines. We thought, we just didnt have that connection. So outdoor afro disrupted that. It has grown from Humble Beginnings in oakland to nearly 40,000 people in three states and she hopes this is just the start. What difference do you think having oprah here to shine a light on this will do . Well, i think it has an opportunity to shine a light of hope, of connection in times when people may not feel as connected. In times when cities dont feel like friendly places. We can shine a light on a beautiful park, like Joaquin Miller park and let people know that nature is so close. Right in your backyard. It is open for anyone enjoying it. They meet up he have month for different adventures around the bay area. Weve put a link on our website, abc 7 news. Com. What a cool program.
