Disciplinary action. Ctvs brooks jarocz takes a look at the backlog in oakland. This hallway and nearby offices are quiet, but boxes are filling them up as civilian investigators try to tackle a big backlog of cases, all of them alleging police misconduct. But its an important aspect of Police Oversight that we can say to the community, well, the police dont always need to police themselves, and we can have experts who are trained to do exactly that. Mack muir is executive director of the Community Police review agency, a job hes held for less than 30 days. His team reports to the Oakland Police commission. And late last week, he delivered some bad news about that backlog of 211 cases of possible police misconduct, 135 havent even been touched. 64 other cases have no investigators assigned. And the average time to close a case, 363 days and rising. Its challenging. I think oakland has a major spotlight on it because this is the most powerful Police Commission in the united states. It has the opportunity to be a national model. And so bad news is tough. Blowing key deadlines came as a surprise to commissioners. This is the first time anyone has walked me through any of this. It was also upsetting to some community members. State law requires discipline be administered within a year, otherwise officers cant be held accountable. Why the Police Commission did not know about this serious backlog and report it out to the public and try to do something about it is appalling. Muir says. A series of missteps, resignation actions and the Ransomware Attack can tributed to the serious backlog. His focus now, he says, is building a database to track cases and hiring more staff to triage them. I think now that weve really diagnose the problem, theres an easy path forward. Were just looking at every single one of these cases and saying, wheres the misconduct . Lets prioritize investigating that officer involved shootings, deaths in custody in other cases where theres something that appears to be egregious. Oakland Police Investigates the same cases through internal affairs, but mayor shengtao wants to change that and have mias team take over. But first, it has to prove it can handle the caseload load. Right now, one case of possible police missed conduct is closed for every three new cases opened. Muir says hes confident by addressing this. Now, the investigative caseload should be under control in the next 6 to 9 months. Of course, well keep on this in the newsroom. Brooks jarocz ktvu. Fox two news.

Theres the fog along the coast right now, broken away from the north coast or bolinas , point rays and up around bodega bay and start to fill back in in santa cruz, some high clouds coming in overhead. Youre going to see those here. Thats tomorrow morning. Fog back at the coast tomorrow morning. But those high clouds representing monsoonal moisture. So thats you know, its a time of year. You get it. And this is the time of year were going to continue to see it. And next time we see a bout of its potential exists for showers or maybe even a thunder shower, but not this time. So here we go on wednesday morning, further cooling. Look at that push, right . Boom, right through the delta up into the Sacramento Valley. It doesnt mean fog is going to be in the Sacramento Valley. Just means a lot of cool moist air is going to be in the Sacramento Valley and thats going to drop their temperatures out of the upper 90s where they were today and down into the low 90s upper 80s. So everybody cools off as we go into the next couple of days. Tomorrow theres the high clouds. Thats that monsoonal moisture and all monsoons are always think of a wet monsoon. They can be dry to monsoons or just seasonally shifting wind patterns and sometimes it can bring drought and dry weather. So its going to be wet weather and our north american monsoon. It does usually bring wet weather. So here is the five day forecast. Watch what happens on sunday. Numbers pop up pretty good. So big increase in temperatures on saturday and then sunday, bang back into the low 100. So not some air quality concerns and probably some fire danger concerns as well.

All hands are on deck except for one very important player. Last years defensive player of the year, nick bosa, is not in camp as his agent. And the 40 niners brass continued to work on a contract extension. Bosa has one year remaining on his rookie contract, but both sides have acknowledged throughout the off season that an extension is in order. Bosa says he wont be in camp until he has the new deal expected to make him the highest paid defensive player in nfl history. 49ers could find bosa 40,000 for every day. He misses the general manager, john lynch says he has no plans to do that. Even though hes not currently thrilled with the developments. I dont like this. I dont like not having one of our best players here. Weve got a really good track record that im proud of as a group of having our players in, but i also understand it and understand that were going to have to exhibit some patience and understand that ultimately this thing will work out. Im very confident in that and were just going to have to have that right mix of urgency and patience. Any concern at all that you wont be able to get it done . No no, im very confident. 4040 niners on the offensive side of the ball probably arent too disappointed. They werent running into bosa today. The other headliners were their running back. Christian mccaffrey wide receiver deebo samuel who was working on a contract extension of his own at this time last year. Samuel and brandon, iowa, reported to be in the best shape of their respective lives. Cant talk about the 40 niners offense without mentioning George Kittle and the whole thing got a feel good vibe last week when brock purdy was cleared for full football activity after his elbow surgery back in march. In the battle for backup quarterback, it was reported today that trey lance had his best day of practice so far. You also need to have a little edge when youre playing football during an 11 on 11 practice today, a fight broke out. We dont have any video to show, but there were punches thrown in. At least one helmet ripped off. Its not exactly a novel thing when it comes to football camps. Through the years. You know, its football. Its a physical sport. Things like that are going to happen. Guys are going to get into it. But the main thing is, you know, we all need each other and we all are on this journey together and were all brothers at the end of the day. So we got to protect each other, find ways to play physical like we have been for many years here, but not take it across the line where were going to lose somebody. Baseballs trading deadline is approaching and the giants made a deal today, but dont expect to be bowled over by it. Theyve acquired outfielder aj pollock and utility man mark mathias from the seattle mariners. Pollock is in his 12th major league season. Hes been scuffling with the mariners, a career 273 hitter. His average was just 173, with five homers in seattle. Pollock recovering from a hamstring injury, but is expected to be healthy enough to be activated this week. Mathias has been assigned to triplea sacramento. The giants didnt have to give up much to get the pair a player to be named or cash considerations. Heres what gabe kapler likes about pollock. Pollock with a homer. Hes a really good leader in the clubhouse and sprint speeds are looking pretty good. Play some defense for you. All three outfield positions and just a pros pro really happy to have him after the us womens World Cup Team can wrap up a spot in the knockout round with a win or a tie in its final game of group play tonight against portugal. That game gets going tonight at 1145, our time right here on ktvu. It was a win or go home scenario for canada and one of the host countries, australia today just the ninth minute the aussies center the attempt temporarily misfires but then hayley raso controls the ball fires into the canadian net. Raso had two goals in the first half. Australia won in a lopsided four. Nothing final. So on to the final 16 for australia. While canada is eliminated. Japan also. So moving on. All right, big one tonight for usa. Yeah. Joe, thank you. Thanks joe. And thanks for joining us, everybody. The Big Bang Theory is next right here on tv.
