Thank you quick check of a couple of the bridges for you this morning. So far so good no major problems reported by the chp as we take a quick live look here at the richmond sandra fell bridge toll plaza. Traffic moving well, no issues to report anywhere on 5. 80 as you make your way from the east bay out towards marin county the southbound ride on one oh one also moving along just fine as you can see just a few headlights off in the distance, otherwise you make a good time really nothing getting in your way from santa rosa all the way down into San Francisco. More weather and traffic updates in a bit now lets get back to the news we have all 4 minneapolis Police Officers involved in the death of george floyd now facing charges scrappers pam moore spoke with senator Kamala Harris about those charges. Take a listen. Clearly one step closer to justice we also know that justice delayed is justice denied. The fact that it has taken this long frankly inexcusable because its not as though there wasnt much evidence in dispute. Here we are it is also good at that the attorney general has taken over that investigation. In fact, im working with. My senators cory booker who was dear friend senator from new jersey members of the congressional black caucus, to put together a package of legislation to reform policing and one of the closest is that we have an independent investigation. So that is progress. But the reality of it is that. Look george floyd should not be dead. We america is raw right now and you know her her injuries are exposed and we need to deal with it and we need to deal with it in a way that is not only about justice for george floyd and his family in that community. But is justice for everyone i am right now. It literally across the street from the United States supreme court. I mean washington dc and im literally right across the street from in marble building that has inscribed on it. Its a wall equal justice under law and the folks who are protesting in the streets are fighting for that ideal knowing we have not yet achieved that as a country and it is long overdue so senator harris as you know this joy george court case was not the first of its kind to happen over the last couple of years. Nonetheless it took this National Outrage to. To get the nations attention do you think that this will momentum will continue or that once again we will fall back into the same the things as same as theyve always been. Listen we can honor and. Frankly we got the nations attention 30 years ago when rodney king we got the attention of the nation with the killing of emmett till thats my point and i will know thats my point is well see you right to your right to ask that question but i think that we have reached a point in this country also where enough is enough frankly i believe that one of the greatest tools of progress in our fight for civil rights has been a smartphone because now everyone is carrying a video camera and capturing these moments that communities have been shouting about crying about the generations and finally now everyone is seeing it. It is tragic that it took that for people to believe that its happening. But now its laid there for america to see little bit community. It is have not generated and i do believe that that presents a moment to actually bring people together around the fact that this is long standing in terms of the problem and the fact that there are solutions that are literally within our grasp if we had the courage to take them on and implement. Well some warriors joined protesters at a peaceful march around lake merritt yesterday Golden State Warrior in oakland native want us cano anderson organized the event.
