Com and later at 5 00. New at noon, San Franciscos police union is firing back. Just one day after the Police Commission unanimously approved a new use of force policy. Lisa chan reports. Reporter last night the San Francisco Police Commission gave final approval to an updated use of force policy. However, the San Francisco police union isnt happy about it. They are taking legal action to stop it. Unanimously the San Francisco Police Commission approved an updated use of force policy despite union resistance. This is the first update in 21 years. It bans the use of carotid restraints. This is the type of hold that stops blood flow to the brain. Some say it can lead to death or injury if not done properly. Its an antiquated Police Practice that i believe needs to be eliminated. The question is of timing. Do we eliminate it now or later and give ourselves time to evaluate other intermediate options . Reporter the hold needs to be an intermediate option especially for smaller options. If its a less lethal use of force, by removing that and not putting in an alternative less lethal use of force such as tasers, you are now forcing the officers into a situation where he may have to use a higher little of force including lethal force. The poa doesnt want that. Reporter the policy also bans shooting at moving vehicles, the San Francisco police union argued they need the flexibility to do this in extreme cases such as a terrorist attack. Behind closed doors, and when you speak to the commission and you speak to dhr behind closed doors, they agree, we should be able to fire at a suspect in situations such as nice or berlin. They just dont want it in writing. Reporter in anticipation of the vote the San Francisco Police Officers association filed a lawsuit on tuesday to stop the new use of force policy saying it violates the San Francisco charter and state labor laws. Theres many violations of the meet and confer process. Thats why we filed that lawsuit for procedural violations. Reporter tomorrow the San Francisco police union is filing a temporary restraining order. They want to stop this updated use of force policy from being put in place until they can get back to the negotiations. Live in San Francisco, lisa chan, kpix 5. Drama on a San Francisco rooftop this morning. Police arrested a man in the sunset district after he climbed on a roof around refused to come down blocks from ocean beach. A man says this guy fell through his skylight while officers were looking for him. His roommate saw it happen. I heard them run downstairs calling the cops. Apparently they were seen breaking into the house. Then the cops were here in three minutes. The man climbed back on the roof eventually officers were able to get him down. Its not clear why they were looking for him initially but it may be connected to an abandoned vehicle in the area. New rent control laws are set to take effect in Mountain View tomorrow. But landlords are hoping to stop them before they start. Voters approved measure v that would limit annual rent increases to Consumer Price index percentages. It would also prohibit evictions without just cause and for multifamily rental units built before february of 1995.
