Its way, gasia. I agree, it could be cooler, but it is beginning, so we are going to take what we can get. Sfo was sunny about an hour ago is starting to get more fog. It is a low fog. 50s, 60s, the city is 65, so we are close. The records go way back, the record low, 47 back in 1901.

We are looking at the san mateo bridge but also the bay bridge toll plaza, steve. To let you know, both of these things are doing very well. The bridge at san mateo looks good. And the fog bank you spoke of, steve, is definitely there in our picture as you can see. You can also see that traffic here is moving okay on interstate 880. Still looks sunny there. And if you get to the toll plaza, there is at least a 10 to 15 minute delay before you make it onto the spin. 7 02. Lets go back to the headlines. Well start in San Francisco, where a criminal investigation of a sheriffs deputy is underway. The District Attorney, saying this video from the 31st, shows a sheriffs deputy putting a protester to the ground from behind. Eventually that protester gets up and walks away, does not appear to be fiercely hurt and the District Attorney wants anyone, who has more video of this information to call his office. The Sheriff Department released a statement on twitter saying, the Sheriffs Office is currently conducting a follow up investigation and has also been contacted by the District Attorneys office. They say their initial review of information and circumstances does not appear to rise to come into conduct. Our time, 7 03. In oakland, hundreds of demonstrators marched and drove up right to the home of oakland mayor, libby schaaf. Now the protesters want the mayor to defund the Oakland Police department, and instead, spend that money on education, and on programs for the African American community. Meantime, the superintendent of the Oakland School district supports the idea of getting. Of the School Districts police force. This is called the george floyd resolution to eliminate the Oakland Unified School Police Department. Is a resolution, supporters of it sadie 2 million spent on policing should be used on student needs. However, Oakland City Councilmember, noel gaudio, says 20 years ago, when the School District decided to form that police force, it was because of issues that came up with regular officers called to school campuses. We tried the Oakland Police Department Contracting with them, but that didnt work out, because their approach to the violence was acceptable to many of our teachers and families. Now, the Oakland School board did not vote last night on the resolution, but they may take action at the next meeting on june 24th. The west Contra Costa School Board is considering something similar. The Teachers Union is proposing the School District and its contract to local Police Departments to provide School Resource officers on campus. This was not on the School Boards formal agenda last night at its meeting. But the teachers asked people to speak out of it during the Public Comment part of that meeting. Our coverage of Police Reform happening around the bay area and around the country continues them online. You can use the ktvu news app to get all the latest details when you are on the go.

Video has captured him, and the attack was described as, a deputy responding to a call. Multiple agencies joined a widespread search but the suspect has not been found.

Santa rosa and san jose will also drop about 4 or 5 degrees also. 50s to 60s on the temps, all and 60, it is close for others in upper 50s, so 74 fairfield is nothing. Other than that it is calm. Bodega bay water temperatures, 49 that is cold, San Francisco we, 52. The water is certainly cold, when you get the heat inland this time of year, it supports the fog, and that low is moving its way towards us, so two systems will meet.

I would agree with you, gasia. Unless you were on the coast, it was very hot for some. Not as hot as last week, thats one consolation. And then we have that system that came in, and there is another system on the way. These clouds are making a push, so coast and bay fog will be cooler, although some inland temps will not be as hot, are still way above average.

When we think about fire concerns, Steve Paulson, you know its a combination of three major things, humidity, heat, and wind, and im seeing theres not much wind at all, at least not where im at in the east bay. Wind is not good, gasia you are right, but if it is cooler and the humidity is higher, that helps. We saw that last week, but we still had fires because there were 45 mile an hour gusts. Not much of a breeze now, but its going to pick up later, this afternoon tonight, and another load drops in, just a crazy june so far. May and june, we just dont see things like that all the time.

Walmart says it will no longer place the cultural hair care and beauty projects in locked cases. Walmart has received a lot of criticism over the years because many say it implies customers who buy those products cant be trusted whereas other Beauty Products remain unlocked. The company has said in the past those products are some of the most stolen items. There has been a large increase in the cost of groceries, recently. Food prices jumped nearly 6 between march and june. The three past months found retailers and suppliers were struggling to keep up with demand. The price of meat specifically jumped the most, with steak costing up to 11 more than before. Meat processing plants, as you know, were hit hard by the covid19 pandemic, slowing production, and in some cases, halting it altogether. Shoppers say they sure do notice the higher prices. Everything is higher. Definitely, you know, produce, and i buy meat for my dog, just everything, everything is higher. Shoppers say they are working hard to not waste food i know parents are so frustrated. With two kids, we often felt really challenged, even when we werent cooped up in a pandemic, so a family with fours, six kids, 10 kids, i can only imagine how tough that is for the parents. And i want nothing more than to get them back to those playgrounds. I tried my best to keep the playgrounds open. And if it had not have been for the pandemic, we would have, but we had to ok, out of an abundance of caution, the playgrounds just created too much of a risk to families and the spread of disease. The day is coming, its not here yet, but the day is coming when we will be able to open them again, we dont have a timeline yet. It will be connected to how we do it, fighting back the disease. More to say on that, when the right time comes. But, i hope i have given you some sense of why i think demonstrations absolutely unexpected, absolutely particular. But the ongoing effort to try and relieve the pressure of these families while still protecting against the resurgence of the disease, and this is what matters. The last thing you want, or anyone wants, is a resurgence of this disease that will lead to restrictions being once again put from ktvu fox2 studios, this is mornings on two. Mike mibach here, and gasia, this whole working from home thing, can i just say, is it over yet . It is tough.

We do have forecasts, if you have cooler weather, i think you will like it, the fog is making its move, and a breeze is picking up for a few, but not all. It is not widespread, 50s and 60s on your temps, for more and does not appear to rise to, conducts. Lastly, hundreds of demonstrators marched at oakland right to the mayors house. Protesters said they want the mayor to defund the Oakland Police department, seeing money should be taken from the police budget, and instead be spent on education and programs for the africanamerican community. The superintendent of the oakland unified School District says she supports the idea of eliminating the School Districts police force. This is called the george floyd resolution to eliminate the oakland unified School District Police Department. A resolution to get. Of the officers was introduced at an Online Meeting last night. Supporters of the resolution say 2 million spent on policing the schools should instead go to other student needs. But Oakland City Council members say when the district decided to form the unit, issues came up when regular officers were schooledsend to school campuses. That did not work out, so their approach to the violence was unacceptable to many of our teachers and families. The school board did not vote on the resolution last night. It could take action at its next meeting on june 24th. The west hunter costa County School board is considering a similar measure. The Teachers Union there is suggesting the district and its contracts with Police Departments to provide resources on campus.

Allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. Really is cutting ties with the San Francisco Police Department the Transportation Agency says it will no longer provide buses to transport groups of Police Officers to protests as it has done in previous years. The San Francisco police union was very quick to respond on twitter, saying, quote, lose our number next time you need officers for fare evasion or enforcement or removing problem passengers from your buses. That is dereliction of duty. I want to salute the sf mta for that courageous stance. The board of supervisors has your back and this behavior will not stand in the city and county of San Francisco.

Mid outcry over the san jose Police Department recent use of rubber bullets and tear gas against protesters san joses mayor is rejecting calls to defund his cities Police Department. Lets talk about this more with the mayor of san jose himself. Good morning to you. Good morning. Good to be with you. Good to have you. You are releasing your budget later today. It cuts 10 position from San Jose Police amid a 78 million budget deficit. You have seen mayor london breed in San Francisco say she is considering cuts to the Police Department budget to Fund Programs that would help black residents and people of color in her city. Why are you not making a move such as that one . We know in san jose and every city is different. We have the most thinly staffed Police Department of any major city in the United States. We dont have a lot of places to cut. The fact that we dont have enough Police Officers means that we are understaffed and critical departments such as investigations and sexual assaults and Domestic Violence and every day patrol. Thats the 911 response. It seems to me that the answer is not simply slashing the police budget, the answer is reforming the police and really reforming all of our institutions where we know racial bias exists and persists thats why we are creating an office of Racial Justice and equity in my message released this week. Im moving forward with a lot of reforms, including the halting of any use of rubber bullets and any crowd control situations. We will review all of our force policies and we will expand the power of the independent police auditor. It seems to me that if you 70s Police Budgets we know whats going to happen in s. Te, wealthy suburban polarts the reality is, the rest of the community is going to be left without basic Police Response and we will be much worse off. Specific tools that police have to use in your city. You have called the restricted use of rubber bullets good first step. What else would you like to perhaps eliminate rum the Police Departments toolkit as it were in dealing with other protests that we are seeing recently or with the public in general . Well, i think part of it may be talking about how we expand the toolkit and less about eliminating tools. What we know is that effective policing requires tools that are alternatives to uses of force. Certainly, alternatives to use of lethal force. For example, the police chief has been working for a couple of years trying to see how we can get Mental Health workers to ride along with Police Officers. Obviously, it requires agreements with the county and others. So that the first time someone has a Health Episode they are not encountered by someone with a gun and a badge, but rather a Mental Health worker. It is really critical for us to find ways to insert alternatives , but that doesnt mean we aluminate police or simply Police Budgets. It means we find ways to integrate Community Based solutions. Major cities such as philadelphia and new york are saying they will not prosecute the protesters who were arrested during recent demonstrations. Would you support such a move in your city . Audibly many Peaceful Protesters should be arrested or prosecuted. The question is what happens when someone decides to commit an act of violence or commit an act of destruction . I include destruction, by the way, that includes more than 100 of our Small Businesses separate from looting and damage at a time when many of them are s, awe all know, suffering happening trying to keep the doors open and feed their families. So, i personally believe that if anyone commits a violent or disruptive act they should be prosecuted. The overwhelming majority of protesters in our city, more than 99 , im sure, peaceful. Even if they were not fully compliant they were peaceful. It seems to me that should be the standard. San jose mayor sam accardo. We could talk about this for an hour. I know you are having an event later today. We will earn more than. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Always a pleasure. Today the California Public Utilities Commission will consider pg e is requested to raise rates specifically on customers in the city of San Francisco. The utility says it wants to raise rates on San Francisco customers to cover the 10 million a year it has to pay because of propositions they.

Pg e says it should be allo cus the San Francisco area, because the taxes it has to be in the city are significantly higher than in other places. Caltra Weekday Service starting next week. The agency will increase the number of trains and offers from 42 now to 70 providing up to 3 trains an hour during peak commute times.
