Innocent protesters as well and the solution is simple. Force reform and defunding. Lets demilitarize our police. Calling for the defunding of the sjpd. The city released a memo from the mayor and Council Members officially calling for changes to the Police Manual including banning the use of rubber projectiles to disperse crowds. Today it is less than shortsighted, they are literally backwards looking. The San Jose Police chief announced a similar ban earlier in the week. A decision critics say is too little, too late. The county supervisor wants to look at tactics in the Sheriffs Office and today he formally called for new limits of deputys use of teargas and rubber projectiles and added his support for the cant wait propose wi proposal. There is really no doubt that our criminal Justice System is deeply flawed and existing policies allow abuse and in some instances foster it.

Right now they are leading a rally at San Francisco city hall and executives from the Golden State Warriors are joining in. Cheryl, whats happening . Reporter as you can see the rally is winding down on the steps of city hall. It started about two hours ago and in the beginning the group decided to take a knee for justice in honor of george floyd and others that died at the hands of police. The rally was led by a youth group and the naacp and the africanamerican police association. One of the Vice President s of the organization Yolanda Williams was here to let the crowd know there are officers outraged by the bad behavior of some Police Officers and especially officers killing africanamerican people. Formally condemn Police Action that led to the death of mr. George floyd, miss Breonna Taylor and countless others at the hands of Law Enforcement. Police departments cannot be expected to continuously audit and be responsible to reevaluate themselves. Now the rally ended with a dance party in front of city hall. They decided to cancel a planned march that was supposed to go from city hall to the hall of justice and the naacp president was here and he says he is proud of the young people because he says that young people are the leaders of what has become a revolution. Okay. Thanks cheryl. Across the bay another dance party in alameda where protesters are literally dancing in the streets. Protesters are dancing in support of a black man that was handcuffed and detained by police after responding to reports of a man dancing in an empty street. He was exercising. Police cuffed and detained him as neighbors shouted at them to let him go. He is overwhelmed by all of the support and it is time to give back. Where they are giving support, i feel i have to give more support. Honestly i am fine physically, mentally and spiritually. Things that need to be taken business wise will be taken care of.

Civil Rights Groups are calling for the six officers involved to be immediately suspended and they want their names and records released to the public. A chilling scene as he faced a judge.

He is an air force sergeant, he did not make a plea and his attorney asked for more time to prepare and that his client expressed sorrow but stopped short of admitting guilt. I dont want it to be misunderstood by saying he expressed responsibility or any of that. I am not going to say he hasnt. The District Attorney declined to comment on reports that carrillo could be connected to the shooting of the federal officer in oakland and they refused to discuss reports he may have been tied to a domestic terror group. He is expected to return to court july 17th. Now to the coronavirus coverage. We learned the state of california is easing more restrictions. Governor newsom says nail salons and tattoo parlors can begin to reopen next friday but probably wont happen in most of the bay area because our Health Guidelines are more conservative.

A 13 jump in infection. Mixed feelings. Everything is scary. I am borderline on the old guy get it really easy. Because of my age and i have a lot of the conditions where you have to worry about it. A Health Official telling me this afternoon that none of this current resurgent has been traced back to any of the reopenings and said all of the new cases have been traced to a couple of things, large inappropriate family gatherings, too many people that are too tight together and the vineyard worker community, too tight of commuting and Living Conditions in that community causing the resurgence. None of it traced to businesses and no matter where you are the facemask and hand sanitizing and the social distancing is still important. Just because they are opening it is not time to let up according to the Health Official. Thom jensen, nbc news. Every county is reopening in different phases.

I am the chief meteorologist jeff ranieri tracking a few showers and a look at the wind coming up in about seven minutes. Lets turn to the California Employment Development department joining with us the most common questions that people are asking. What is the most common question people are asking you and what answer can they provide now. The ones that will always take longer are the ones where we cannot verify their identity. That is a big one. One we cant verify wages or one they have made errors on the application. And that is a big one. I would say we are seeing thousands of people have put in inaccurate Social Security number. Fortunately we have been able to put something in the system that is a ssn validation and take a look. Look at that ssn again. Make sure that it is accurate before you push submit so you dont get your claim delayed unnecessarily. Some people say it takes months to get unemployment benefits. Is there something they can do now to get the lifeline quicker . This is new for the whole experience through the pandemic. When you go online on the front page of your account there is a notification that comes up that says you have benefits to certify for. Even if your claim is pending or your biweekly certification is pending you can go ahead and certify and we encourage people to do so. It is a process of answering six basic questions that tells us about the eligibility. A lot of people do not realize it is required. Some have called hundreds of times each day and when they get through they are only on the phone for a few minutes to resolve the issue. What can workers do to prevent that kind of situation . We know that frustrates people. We are finding when people call in they have a question and it easily answerable right there on the website. For instance the common one i got a notice saying there is a 0 award benefit available to me. There is a really good question. And in fact every week now we are finding the most common questions and producing them in our faq section. Maybe your questions could be answered before you call in.

They have signs for social distancing out here and masks. And i tell you, people are out here enjoying it and we spoke with the managers of other restaurants who say they worked quickly to make it happen. In the Marina District these two did something they have not done in a while, made a reservation to dine at a restaurant. I wanted to capture it. The manager said they have been spending their week cleaning, sanitizing, getting masks so they would be ready to reopen the patio and meet safety protocols and they also requested the city give them extra space. We prepared everything. We set up four tables. We just got the news on tuesday we can open on friday. We had to scramble a little bit. At waterbar they removed about half of the patio tables to account for social distancing rules and also have personal protective equipment ready. They are not ready for the full dinein experience yet but say customers can stay and eat on the patio and the bar is open today and there is more to come. There is a lot of work that goes into getting the restaurants ready and we will be doing, you know, full Table Service at all of the patio tables starting on monday. Preliminary guidance on reopening came out this week but wasnt finalized until yesterday evening. Today the mayor visited a restaurant to check out what the shared Spaces Program would look like and offered advice. Do your best. Provide the distance. We have been talking about it. Do your best. None of us expect it to be in the middle of a global pandemic. We are very excited and enthusiastic to open up. And back here live, again, there is actually a line out here. It looks like folks really want to come and dine outside. We did see restaurants that have not reopened their outdoor seating yet but several of the managers said they were looking forward to this and the next phase and of course bringing their workers back. Reporting live in San Francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. A lot of people are smiling there. One of San Franciscos most critically acclaimed restaurants has pivoted.

Back here at home we mentioned the social activism is not slowing down. Ten marches today across the bay area and a new look. San franciscos fillmore district has a new mural and it is hard to miss. Volunteers came out this morning to paint black lives matter in the big bold yellow letters near city hall. The artist said he wants it to be a lasting message. This is a constant reminder. You walk out of your doors or see it from an aerial view it is a reminder that black lives matter. It is all about capturing the moment we are in. We are in a moment of empowerment for black people and people of color. The street murals first showed up in washington d. C. And now hundreds across the bay area. Color, creativity all for social justice. Now who is organizing all of this. Jonathan joins us from oakland. Really quick, how did it start . Sort of my accident to be honest with you. I woke up saturday morning after the first protest. I walked downtown oakland two blocks from my house with a broom and trash bag and asked where i can help. Business owners needed help sweeping up. I knew an owner and they had a broken window and asked if i could find an artist that could paint one of their pieces of plywood. I put out a call to action and the next morning about 75 people showed up. Not to lose momentum but it is not an organization of any sort, we did it pretty organically. After about nine days of 10 to 12 hours per day we had hundreds of people coming through and ended up giving away about 300 gallons of paint to simply go on to the walls to beautify oakland. These are really talented artists. Where are you finding them . Are they formally trained . Yeah. You ask a really good question. The truth is that we were not the only epicenter for this to occur. It spread like wildfire. Artists found us and the other locations. Social media. There is an effort to find local artists and pair them with local businesses. Many of the folks are people that do it all the time and some were the first out, people looking for a place to park their energy and create a more enduring message related to those already flowing around about the movement. Any push back from Business Owners or Community Members saying we dont like it or appreciate it . Yeah. That is a really good question. I think about that sometimes in relationship to mine own effort. I am an ally in the movement and my objective is to create space for those that need their voices heard. There has been a lot of concern about the more destructive nature of the protests at nighttime. What happens at nighttime is important. It is messy. But it is important and at the end of the day people need to scream and we are following it up in the daytime making it more enduring and clear that people can understand. Truthfully they hear the message and might not understand the chaos of it all but they understand the beauty of the art. Our largest objective is to be a translation layer for that and i am here to serve the community in whatever way they need. I asked where help was needed and that was well received. It is challenging. Business owners are not always there. Sometimes there is one to occur but ultimately everybody showed up with love and that is where it came from. Overall we have not seen a lot of push back but it is an evolving situation and we will see how all of it unfolds. We want to work towards prese e preservati preservation. We want to remember why we were down here in the first place and we cant forget the gains we are making. You grew up in San Francisco and live in oakland. What is your message to everybody . The message is dont stop the effort. You know, find ways to harness your energy. Find ways to support the community. If you are a white person find ways to support people right no with people. At the end of the day we can all come together and do community building. I am inspired right now and i hope to keep the movement going. Jonathan delong, thank you for your time this evening.
