Today, the tomorrower head of the office of the independent police auditor, filed a complaint against the department. Saying that the shooting raised a number of red flags. The suspect was not armed when he was shot in the back running away from officers on monday night. Initially police said that he was reaching for his waist band when the officers opened fire. And they have since backed off that statement. They are on a move by the Oakland Police department, this he had a private screening of body camera video from last weeks Deadly Police shooting. The goal, they say, straight forward to help convince skeptics. The man, nate wilks was killed when officers opened fire. Now, we are not allowed to record the video. They said they heard the officers yelling to drop the gun and get on the ground. The suspect ran toward officers with what appeared to be a gun in his hand. The attorneys for the officers involved say they feared for their lives. They were concerned he was going to shoot them or their colleagues. The suspects mother saw a video at the different time. She believes the son did not appear to be pointing a gun, instead, running with a object in his hand. They were there needs to be justice for him. They had no reason to shoot him like that. Oakland police chief said that the video will be available to the public after the investigation is over. That unprecedented movie to get that body cam in front of the reporters is a move they are making to defend themselves. One outlet is calling the media treatment of officers unfair. How some officers say they are being mischaracterized in all of this. Yes, officers are looking at not only the posts that are going out so quickly and traditional media and they are saying that the stories are out of context and sometimes they come out as if the investigation has already occurred when it has not. Now, members of the activist community hear that complaint and they say, that is outrageous. In san jose, Police Released video of three suspects in a homicide after two were killed by police earlier this week. Today, Oakland Police show pictures of a man shot by police recently with a gun in his hand. To combat unfair media treatment of law enforcement. They are under the micro scope, and monday morni quarterbacked by media and politician ans and many times its unpair. He said that a video of officers making a arrest with no context can be interpreted in a negative light and he fully supports the use of body cameras. Thats not enough according to the founder of the antipolice terror project. Kat brooks. Police officers have a history of abusing black and brown people in our community. To say we are over reacting is irrational. There was a campaign event, and they are pushing for body cams outside and inside jails. To be honest and be held accountable. The police chief said that some of the stereo types are dangerous. I have never met an officer who enjoyed shooting anybody. Some of of the people that you know, negative about the police, they think that almost that police would enjoy doing Something Like this. The opposite is true. This type of mistrust of policing in San Francisco or elsewhere in the country is account exactly that. Its a hype. All right, that was Terry Sweeney reporting from the San Francisco newsroom. We have new information about the kind of people uber may be hiring. San franciscos District Attorney has found convicted offenders, a murderer and others among the drivers. They blame it on the type of background checks that uber purchases. The company does not go beyond years or require finger printing. They are going after uber for monetary damages.

Its disturbing to see, but it might help put a stop to any more abuse. A woman that runs a dog sitting business in burling game is accused of abusing a dog. It was caught on tape, and now investigators are asking for help in building a case against her. The Peninsula Humane Society said that the dog sitter should Face Criminal Charges for abusing dogs and now they have Video Evidence to help build the case. I must warn you, watching the video is disturbing. Saddened us and sickened us. He is talking about this disturbing video, a neighbor documents what they told the Humane Society is a pattern of animal abuse. You can see a woman carrying a dog by the neck and then slamming it to the ground. That woman runs a dog walking and boaring business in her home. And neighbors have complained about her before. We had heard from that neighbor and another neighbor previously over the last ten years, but we never had any real solid evidence until we received that video clip. Now the Humane Society wants to locate the owner of the dog in had the clip. To check on the well being and make it part of a case it plans to hand over to the District Attorneys office. The dog that size, getting slammed to the ground so forcefully, the dog could have a broken bone or several broken bones. And thats what we want to make sure that, you know, the dog is getting treated. I have had dogs my whole life. The Humane Society will not name the woman or her business, only saying she operating in the area behind burling game high school. Dog loverers in the neighborhood are stunned. Feel sorry for the animals. After seeing the video, the dogs in her care were taken away. Her dogs are in protective custody. We seized 11 dogs. And 8 of them belonged to her clients. The womans dogs wont be returned until she can prove they are safe. The Humane Society is hoping to hear from owner of the dog or any other dog owner that has a concern. Okay, thank you, bay areai activists claim that slave labor is putting food on the tables. Shrimp that are being sold employee slaves. Trash fish is basically dredging everything up off the ocean floor, all put together and then ground in to fish meal, so the slave labor portion of the food chain is on the shipping. On the ship. Now the law farm in charge of the lawsuit said that documentary films and Investigative Journalism and and United Nations reports with the document of the ra. Costco responded saying it will continue to work with various stakeholders to address the issues that have surfaced. Well, dinner and a movie with extra security, Regal Cinemas has quietly increased security at the theaters nationwide. Employees have started to search bags and backpacks.

A quick thinking employee evacuated the building last night when she heard and smelled a leak. Now the blast happened last nighty in bremerton, west of seattle. And it may have been intentional. Witnesses say they saw shn come us of the building shortly before the blast. Our neighbors are sinking. The valley is sinking up to an inch and a half each on month. You can blame the drought. You can see the canal in the Central Valley has sunk so far that bridge now touches the water. Nasa said that farmers are depleting the ground water reserves and that is what is causing the sinking. As the draut continues farmers use more of the ground water and therefore the ground is sinking lower. Lets check in with jeff, he is keeping a close eye on the wind and temperature that is impacting the the fire that we have on the Livermore Tracy border. And we think as we head throughout tomorrows forecast, winds are sustained at 25 miles an hour and gusting as high as 35. That is the worst news for firefighters. The good news will not be super hot. We will have low 80s and a humidity around 38 . Again, the fire well east of livermore, close to tracy as well, the smoke will be blowing off towards the east. Impacting the pass, tracy and interstate 580, the most, you still may smell smoke in livermore, that will be the zone if you are the doing traveling where you could run in to villity issues.

Clouds here down to San Francisco, with the fog in place, isolated drizzle, 60 for the peninsula and 59 expected for the south bay with patchy low clouds. Lets look at something that we look at every day when it comes to forecasting in the paw bbay. We are seeing impressive things, primarily the cooler westerly wind. As you see, we advance it and the winds stay in place all the way through the saturday. And that will be the main reason that temperatures will not get extremely hot as we head in to the up coming weekend. Now, with that westerly wind, it helps to usher in the fog of the coast line, as we go through tomorrow morning we have the cloud coverage and spotty green that could be that drizzle. And then as we head through the afternoon, we clear through the interior valleys and you will see the fog staying in the immediate coast line. So, the fog again, stays in the forecast as we head through tomorrow that should help to keep temperatures relatively comfortable. And by the weekend, we get another storm system moving in. They really battle each other out. So the result would nouft be slight warming in the forecast. Not going get too hot as we go through saturday and sunday. That is the good news.
