Special Police Committee meeting that just got underway. Officials are to vote on whether San Francisco officers should be armed with stun guns. For months now police chief William Scott has been pushed to get tasers into officers hands. He believes it gives them another less lethal option when trying to subdue a suspect, but protesters who are outside city hall right now think tasers are a bad idea. Unfortunately tasers are deadly. They do kill and they dont actually reduce incidences of shooting. So we think its really a step back from the deescalation and crisis intervention training the police are undergoing. As far as injury rates, the breadth of studies show it reduces suspect injuries and it also reduces injuries to officers. Back now to our live picture of the protesters, we are inside city hall right now. Were expecting a lot of Public Comment on this issue in that very room. The u. S. Justice department is recommending the tasers after its recent review of the department. Washed out last winter has re its unclear exactly when the vote will take place.

Commuters and bicyclists can go across it now, but the ledge where im standing didnt even exist when last years unrelenting rain washed out the entire twolane roadway, but now just before this winters rainy season the bridge has been replaced and everyone is pretty happy. Back in january sky drone 5 flew over the washed out bridge giving us a closer look at the damage. Pinole creek flows under the roadway through a pipe, a pipe that couldnt with stand the volume of water. I was reporting on this the day of the bridge collapse. Theres a huge crack here. Thats not to say that that couldnt go at any time, right . Correct. Thats why we put these cones back here because right now theres no pavement underneath that asphalt. Its just hanging in midair. Reporter 10 months later just at the start of rainy season this section of Alhambra Valley road is repaired. I was amazed it was open this morning. Reporter a shortcut for pinole, san pablo and martinez commuters and a popular path for cyclists like larry wilson. This is a fantastic ride. Its called the bears because theres major climbs, but theres very little traffic out here, so its a pretty safe place for us to ride. Reporter for some its a welcome surprise. I didnt even know. We were like oh, my gosh, its opening, so pretty interesting, yeah. Reporter this is one example of a project completed before the rainy season.
