Approval to ban hammers, spray paint and other items of violence and vandalism at demonstrations. The police chief says it will allow officers to detain people with such tools before they can do any damage. Its back to court for the former bart officer who killed oscar grant. A federal Appeals Court cleared the way for grants father to sue Johannes Mehserle for the death of his son. Mehserle shot the teenager at at Fruitvale Station platform new years day back in 2009. He was convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter and served 11 months of two years. Nearly two years after a fremont man was murdered Oakland Police are releasing photos the victim took the night he died. Kpix 5 reporter Juliette Goodrich explains how investigators hope those pictures could help solve the case. Its just not fair. Reporter 32yearold darian stone Army Reservist and father of three from fremont was shot to death during a 2011 Halloween Night Party in downtown oakland along the 500 block of el paseo drive the killer still at large. I feel like somebody stole his life from him and it wasnt fair to me. Reporter darians family didnt want to show their phase on camera. Theyre too scared still about their own safety. Its been unsettling knowing that someone that you love can get their life taken away from you and you have no justice. Reporter the night darian was killed he was taking photos of people on his phone, Photos Police now want you to see. They are of four women he photographed at the party. Police believe he met them at the nightclub and think these women left at the time of the shooting and left before the police arrived. I dont know the ladies but if they had information i would encourage them to come forward and say what they know, say what they saw, anything. Reporter police hope these photos will bring new leads and help them track down a killer halloween night 2011. In fremont, Juliette Goodrich, kpix 5. There is a reward up to 10,000 for information leading to an arrest. The game of deal no deal continues between bart and its workers. Only four days before bay area commuters could be stranded on monday august 4 the deadline to reach a deal. But as kpix 5 reporter ryan takeo tells us the back and forth between bart and its unions continue. I wanted to start off with a really simple number. Reporter bart made a big move in revealing the numbers keeping both sides apart. Its reflective of how much we moved. Reporter on one side the district offers 8 over four years asking workers to pay 5 into pensions and 10 of their healthcare premium costs. Our very first proposal represented 140 million takeback from employees. And where were at today represents a 33 million giveback to employees. First of all, let me say that were little dismayed but not surprised by the continued inaccuracies that are coming from the district. Reporter the unions are asking for more than a 13 raise over three years plus a 2 cost of living adjustment to keep up with bay area inflation. And they argue what workers pay into healthcare and pensions will negate any raises. When in fact that 2 increase per year results in either a net zero or something less for our members. They say its a net loss for employees. Thats incorrect. Right now where this proposal stands and that includes all of the contributions were asking, its a net increase of 1 per employee per year. Reporter what seemed more upsetting to the unions is that bart is even talking about the numbers. We have been under gag orders that they have continually violated. Really, we wanted to let the public know were only days away from the deadline and we wanted them to know where we stood. Reporter both sides continue the battle. No matter how you add it up, the numbers are still far apart. Both sides will be back to you at the table this morning. In oakland, ryan takeo, kpix 5. The mtc met with Regional Transit agency to talk about a backup plan if they go on strike. They can pick up 25 of barts daily ridership.

The faa is worried about an increase in aborted landings by Foreign Airlines since the asiana flight 214 crash july 6. The new rule is expected to be temporary. United airlines is no longer selling seats on asiana flights between sfo and seoul. For years united offered passengers the option to book an asiana flight because both airlines are members of the star alliance. Its called cochairing but a united spokesman confirms the airline dropped its code on that route because of the investigation into the crash of asiana flight 214.

Vandals did a number on this teleCommunications Tower. Its in rugged parkland in the hills west of danville in the las trampas regional wilderness and as kpix 5s Ann Notarangelo shows us, whoever did it was in good shape. Reporter whats now just a crumbled pile of metal was a 200foottall Communications Tower on rocky ridge in the las trampas regional wilderness. Owned by American Tower company, space on it was leased to local governments and private companies. Its a very remote area on a ridgetop thats past three gates in a fenced area. Reporter to get to it even though there are fire roads and jeep trails, is quite an effort and hike. Monday morning dispatch noticed rocky, as its nicknamed, wasnt working. East Bay Regional Park Police discovered guy wires holding up the tower had been deliberately cut. One person who surveyed the damage said nine of ten cables had been cut on one side putting all the weight on the remaining two. He said whoever did this knew what they are doing because these cables are not easy to cut. Some people consider it an act of vandalism. Were leaving everything open from vandalism to possible domestic terrorism. Reporter the fbi is joining officials in the investigation. This tower is part of a group in the bay area to help transmit just about anything you can think of. Television and internet signals, as well as emergency radio dispatch communications. However, park police dont believe Public Safety was compromised. Its just one of many that in the Public Safety world if one goes down there are other towers that can come up. So in this event there was never a loss of Public Safety services. Reporter this is a very costly criminal act. In fact, they estimate it will cost about a Million Dollars to fix the tower and the equipment. In san ramon, Ann Notarangelo, kpix 5. Workers from the public and private sectors inspected the damage yesterday trying to awhats it will take to fix trying to assess what it will take to fix the towers and reestablish their signals.
