It shows a person that makes racist and derogatory comments and talks about injury to the citizens that he is supposed to be serving. And most disturbingly he does it in a way that holds no consequences. The police chief showing out and he says two other officers accused have already left the department. The chief says he has no tolerance for reprehensible messages. I have the same visceral reaction. It make me sick to my stomach including today when i had to read them again so and i apologize to the public. We are better than this. The San Francisco police union issued a statement saying that it strongly and unequivocally offend the basic. The disgusting racist language by a few officers is not reflective of the over 2100 members thawers the uniform of the sfpd the second time that San Francisco officers have come under fire for racist and anti gay texts. Last year a similar scandal involved 14 officers and many kept their jobs because the city waited too long to fire or discipline them. More texts may be released in the future from two other officers implicated in the latest case. Frank and julie. If this is on their personal cell phones why is it so bad . It reflects what they are thinking. If they are doing it in the relative privacy of their personal cell phones thinking that internal affairs will never get to them the public doesnt want these officers on the force. Can think check personal cell phones of officers. Not without a specific reason. The officer that resigned, they checked his cell phone in connection with an initial Sexual Assault that never materialized and he has been charged with misusing computer databases. Henry, thank you. Apples 13 year winning streak of Quarterly Sales came top end. The tech giant reported earnings for his 2nd quarter and revenue was down overall by 13 . The companys flagship product, the iphone experienced a 16 year to year drop in sales. The net income fell 22 and investigators are rattled. Shares of apple closed at 104 but the announcement came after the bell. After hours the stock is down more than 7 with shares trading at 96. Tom vacar has more. Do you think it is a bump in the road. Far more likely a bump because apple has a great future laying out ahead of it and the other thing is that they are sitting on mountains of cash so they have lots of opportunities to do lots of things that they feel they need to do if they feel they need to do them. And tom, i wanted to ask you, tom, should apple what are they attributing it to . Lots of people have cell phones so you wont have quite as much of a turnover but the carriers and the at t and and verizons are not subsidizing so you end up paying the full price and thats expensive so what do people do . The same thing with the cars, they keep their cars longer and they will keep the phones longer but that doesnt mean they when have phones in the future and if they come up were true innovation in the phones, new kinds of ideas with the phones and people wont say gee i would like to have a say. Smart phones are about innovations and they are big sales and the iphone 6 is proof of that when they sold over 150 billion worth. This quarter they sold 33 billiondollars worth of iphones and 50 billiondollars of products and it doesnt sound like life support. Steve jobs brought in a whole new team of people and this company has a lot of powder in its gun. A company that has had a winning streak for 13 years. The first drop in 13 years. Should apple be concerned at all about this . I think they should be concern but the concern will be amongst what we call institutional investigators. The people that hold the money in your retirement account and stuff like that. They will want to get rid of stuff that is not performing well. But you may see the market go down substantially tomorrow because of this but this is not necessarily long term because apple is sitting on a 16. 7 billion worth of cash. And plus another 177 billion in marketable securities. This is almost 200 Million Dollars. That is a great big number, about the production of the entire country of swither land. It can borrow all of the money it wants. It still has 17 billion here and you can borrow a lot of money against 17 billion when you leverage it. A mountain of cash and the iphone 7 will be coming out soon enough. Tom vacar live in the newsroom. Police discovered a body in a recycling bin found near the knob hill store. Family and friends leaving flowers and cards and pictures there. We spoke with the womans family this afternoon. They tell us her name was angela marie lewis. They say she was homeless and think she may have gotten stuck in the recycling bin trying to retrieve clothing and ending up dying. The crew is working to gather information. As soon as we get that, we will bring it to you. The santa clear county Sheriffs Department is reacting to a report detailing problems at the county jail in san jose. Investigators with the National Institute of corrections cited a lack of adequate training, supervision and staffing. There was a flawed promotion process for jail employees. The Sheriffs Department and the deputy union are react total findings. We are looking at the training issues and the supervisor issues. We have different trainings including the cit training. We have people leaving because they see the failed leadership and they are frustrated by the culture that is being created by the sheriff that has been in office for four terms. Lorie smith requested a federal investigation following the beating death of michael tyree. Three deputies are charged. Sheriff smith will seek re election. A woman in oakland was forced to jump when her building caught fire. The fire crews said it started at 12 30 in a building behind all good bakery on Martin Luther king way. The woman suffered minor injuries and smoke inhalation. It burned down the hall and into one of the apartments before fire crews had it under control. It is considered suspicious but the exact cause is under investigation. It is award season and it started well for the warriors. Steve kerr was named the coach of the year and assistant coach luke walton also finished in the top ten. Ktvu joe fonzi has more on that. Assistant coach finishing in the top ten for coach of the year. How can you set a record for most regular season wins in an nba season and not be named coach of the year. The warriors have accomplished a number of first. Two coaches on the same team in the top ten voting for coach of the year a first. As we have learned, a unique team and organization. It is almost too good to be true. A talented group of high character players led by a coach who believes in empowering his assistants and the players by having a voice in the operation. The result was record regular season and nba coach of the year award for steve kerr and humorous presentation today. If you have guys that can play and care, they will work and want to be coached and they are really, really good. And you are in business. To inherit that with my first job, honestly, i am the luckiest coach around. Kerr gave credit to general manager bob myers for assembling the roster he inherited. He also in true character both seriously and humorously credited assistant coach luke walton that took the warriors to a 394 record while kerr continued to recover from com cases of off season back surgery. When we got that call it was panic mode and everyone liking steve as much as we do we didnt want to bother him no matter the question we will figure it out and we used to joke like the bracelets, what would jesus do. We didnt have bracelets that said what would steve do because we are not going to coach what would we do . We are trying to fill in for steve. I could be tough on him when we lost in milwaukee. I ripped into them. What were you thinking, we are only 24 and 1. You will have to do a better job. The unique relationships on this team arent limited to the brass. Kerr has the same relationship with his players. He is mellow but it can ram up quick. He is always knowing what to say and never loses his poise and thats one of the reasons we keep our poise because he never loses his poise. De mond dont ever change. He provides the edge that the team needs. One of the things kerr preaches has come true for him, he says that playing the game the right way will result in good results that will mean individual recognition. A franchise that has the reigning league mvp executive of the year and final mvp has the coach of the year. The warriors have down played personal awards throughout the two most recent seasons. A second mvp award for steph curry around the corner but the one they want the most is the championship at the end of the season and the next chance is game five against houston tomorrow night. What do you think . Will they wrap it up . The way they rallied when steph went down in houston on sunday and the way it felt like it took the heart out of the rockets i would be surprised if the warriors dont win but theres no guarantees. Given the status with steph curry would like to get it wrapped up. The trailblazers did them a favor by evening it up with the clippers 2 and 2 and they would like to get it going and get rest in. Thank you, joe. Now to the race for president. The polls closed in five Eastern States just about ten minutes ago and it is a good night for donald trump.

There are 172 delegates at stake for the republicans. Both Hillary Clinton and donald trump are expected to possibly sweep all five states and maybe Bernie Sanders may win rhode island.

And it may include thunderstorms. 9 00 tomorrow morning dry and maybe drizzle. By 10 00 it will pick up and scattered showers and we are now to 2 and 3 00 and notice we have moisture there and just not a lot over the bay and isolate the thunderstorms popping up.

Giving you a look at the numbers with mostly cloudy skies and a few isolated showers. 47 degrees in santa rosa and 54 for oakland and 49 in redwood city and in the south bay 51 degree with the cloud cover overhead.

Were getting results from the five Eastern States that are holding primaries today. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton are hoping to sweep all of them. Ktvu ken wayne joins us from the newsroom to tell us how the races are shaking out. Ken, what do you know . Here is what we know. The polls closed in maryland, delaware and connecticut and rhode island and pennsylvania. At the top of the hour, lets get to the latest results. On the republican side, fox news has called the following states for donald trump around maryland, pennsylvania and connecticut. On the democratic side Hillary Clinton has been declared the winner in maryland and waiting for the results for other states and here are the numbers for rhode island. We dont have a projection on who will win but donald trump clearly in the lead at this point with 63 of the vote in that state. It is not all about the states but the delegates counts. There is the graphic indicating that Hillary Clinton has won the state of maryland and donald trump is trying to avoid that contested convention in cleveland this july and thats why he would like to get more delegates by winning big today. Texas senator ted cruz and Ohio Governor john kasich is hoping to keep him from that number. Here is the connecticut results so far we do not have a final count but Hillary Clinton is in the lead in connecticut 52 to 4 six percent over Bernie Sanders. Donald trump has 185 delegates before todays election to ted cruz 559, 1237 are needed to win. After today trump should be closed to the 900 mark getting closer to that 1237 at 1237 num Hillary Clinton has 1936 to Bernie Sanders 1123. Hillary clinton picking up more delegates compared to Bernie Sanders, she is inching closer to her magic number. So to wrap it up. Hillary clinton and donald trump both doing well today. Expected to do well and well get more numbers as they roll in. Back to you. On the democratic side does it look like the one state where Bernie Sanders has a chance would be rhode island . Rhode island, im looking at the numbers. Bernie sanders has 55 of the vote in rhode island compared to Hillary Clintons 43 but it is still early and thats one of the only states besides connecticut where we know what the numbers are at this point. It is a slow vote count in rhode island and delaware. Those could be the last states. There was a report earlier that Bernie Sanders will look at everything and the results and reassess where he stands. Do you think there may be signs of a white flag . No, he reiterated he will go california on june 7th. He plans to come to california and campaign here and hope to do well. California has more delegates than any state in the country. He is hoping to do well and it is math and it doesnt look good for Bernie Sanders. He has to win big in the remainder states to be competitive and it may be too little and too late but he is vowing to continue. We will check back with you. Ken wayne in the newsroom, thank you.

There will be more to come when the hotel opens. Locals complained it would be environmentally unfriendly and today the concerns appear more muted. A form of entertainment. It is boring out here. Not a lot to do. On the other hand there are people that cant control their gambling habits and they lose money. Without that casino there is others that people can lose their money. This man doesnt go. I dont smoke. And thats the reason. I would if i smoked or they didnt allow cigarettes but i just cant handle the smoke. But others do. And there are the benefits.

It would include travel and city purring and entering into contracts. The pinch would be felt in North Carolina.

I agree with gay marriage and if we can send the message to those states that disagrees that it is a good thing. It will spread to more states unless we take a very strong position that there will be economic pain if you do this. I think that this is the last gasp of a dying breed.

Highway 50 may be impacted at times. In any case most of this will stay to the north of us. You can see as we get in closer that the clouds are on their way in. We have been in and out of those high level clouds for most of the day. We will continue with the clouds for the overnight hours and by tomorrow morning we are mostly cloudy and leading the poke of drizzle and scattered showers and you can see whatever we get doesnt look like it will be much.
