Rubber bullets. Protesters smashing windows. This was the scene in berkeley two months ago when a peaceful protest unraveled into a violent confrontation. Berkeley resident and attorney was one of the demonstrators in the crowd that night. You can see her in this video. She says she was trying to stop another protester from breaking windows, but she believes the Police Response that night escalated the situation. My back is turnedded and an officer punched me in the back with his baton. I turned around and looked at him and i said i see you, officer number im going to report you. Now because of the conflict during that protest and other, the Berkeley City Council will decide tonight whether to ban the use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and what jesse calls overhand baton hits until the city can decide on whether to enact a permanent change in policy. We do need to change our policy. I think our policies encourage the use of force and dealing with large crowds and demonstrations. I think people are surprised to hear that transmission parts were thrown at officers. Ice picks were thrown at officers. Berkeley Police Association says councilman is rushing to judgment. Tear gas is a tool, like anything else, and in emergency situations where a crowd has to be cleared quickly, there are no other tools similar to that. And councilman is also proposing Berkeley Police officers have lapel and dash board cameras. That doesnt seem to be as controversial an item. The Association President told me they welcome the idea of having cameras around. Now, back out here, berkeley city hall, you can see there where a few people out on the steps of city hall where this Council Meeting will take place. There are protesters and told there are 80 to 100 of them are still in route. We dont see any sign of them yet. They are expected to come out to the city hall steps in the next half hour or so.

Activists say she was one of six transpeople killed in america so far this year. And that the violence must stop. We love our brothers and sisters. A progressive city is not always safe. Particularly for transwomen of color. Im asking the city and county of San Francisco to start a transspecific commission so our voices and perspectives are included in our local laws. Transwomen said they experience housing and employment dediscrimination and are still too often a target for violence. Recently, they have been low priority to our murders. We are San Francisco. Were a place for everybody. Police chief told us dejesus death does not appear to be a hate crime and the case should be closed soon. The main thing i want to reassure everybody is this wasnt random. We dont have any evidence the victim was targeted. Because the victim was transgender. A Police Source tells ktvu the suspect in dejesus murder killed himself shortly thereafter.

State lawmakers announce new climate goals today for california among the proposed changes. Lawmakers want to cut fossil fume fuel dependency by 50 and increasing by the year 2030.

Methane is a big greenhouse gas. Talking about Global Warming and what have you. Thats going to be the story here in the next couple of years. Well get to that some other time. Right now, well talk about the temperatures. We have 65 in concorde. 66 in vallejo. These are the highs from today. Your highs tomorrow are going to end up being a little bit warmer. Its going to be a little bit nicer each day with a little patchy fog to start you off. This reminds you of january. Because this is what happened in january. Pretty much every day. Well see some valley fog start to build up in the central valley. And patchy fog as we had this morning will be around here. 59 in livermore right now. Overnight lows will be where they were last night. Mid 40s, low 40s, and youre looking at patchy valley fog. Tomorrow, dry and mild. A little warmer than today. The extended warmer right through the weekend. So this is the ice map. Shows clouds, but they are equal temperatures that are equal represented by color. So, the 70 range, anywhere from 70 to 75 is represented by yellow. The 60 range, anywhere from 65 to 70 is represented or 69 is represented in green. So you can see tomorrow, well see 70s. Unusual for february. San jose will be around 70 degrees. A lot of cities hovering around 70 degrees. The warmiest spots in this type of pattern, not necessarily up in antioch and the valleys, like we see in the summer, but around the bay. Places like san jose, fremont, redwood city, because the bay trends warmer. Inland valleys are getting down to the 40s, when the bay temperature is running in the 50s. So, it doesnt get cold overnight, subsequently, youre warmer in the day. Temperatures warm up thursday and friday. Well see some mid 70s. The forecast tomorrow, 67 in concord, 6 in brentwood. Cooler right here, because youre closer to the valley fog. Come closer, your temperatures are warmer. Again, theres other reasons, but the bay, its amazing. Why doesnt it snow in San Francisco . Well, a lot of reasons. The big reason is the Pacific Ocean is running at 58 degrees. Its hard to get cold enough in the bay area to snow because of this giant body of water. You knew that, but i wanted to burn some time, because im saying the same thing. No, im kidding. Its all true. The fiveday forecast with the weekend view. Certainly different than what we had this weekend. Mid 70s in the middle of february. Very nice. Thank you, bill. The San Francisco rotary club today honored local Law Enforcement heros.
