And ill show you the bay bridge coming up. New today, after several highprofile Deadly Police shootings, there is a new bill outlining when police can use deadly force. Today in the bays bob redell joins us live from the newsroom and all thats needed now is Governor Newsoms signature. So whats this about . Correct, kris. Governor gavin newsom is expected to sign a law Assembly Bill 392 which cleared the legislative late yesterday and on its way to his desk for signature. Assuming bill 392 becomes standard, there will be a new when officers can open fire on a suspect, only when the officer needs to defend against imminent threat of death or serious injury to themselves or innocent civilians. The current standard for deadly force is when the officer thinks its reasonable. The new law would elevate to when its necessary. Lawmakers created legislation after public anger over fatal police shootings, including that of stefan clark shot by police after responding responding to a car burglary mistook his cell phone for a gun. Heres assemblywoman shirley weber, coauthor of the new law. Were optimistic that will open up conversations about the use of force and what it means in every community and when it occu occurs, what does it really mean. It empowers people in the community who felt so powerless that when things happen, they didnt have a voice, they didnt understand the system and they couldnt make rational decisions as to what took place, whether it was necessary to be done or not. A number of Law Enforcement groups are against this bill. Earlier this year the california fraternal order of police said ab 392 creates a impossible standard and that officers often face tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving life and death situations. The problem is the standard would be applied in hindsight, unquote. Reporting live here in the newsroom,ed abo newsroom, bob redell, today in the bay. Thank you, bob. Just released San Jose Police body camera shows the Deadly Police shooting of a man with an axe, you might remember it happened two years ago. Yesterday the District Attorneys Office cleared that officer. Were going to have to put this down, dude. This isnt a fire. Officers were responding to a bomb threat in may of 2017 and when Police Responded to the call, they saw smoke coming from an apartment unit. They kicked open the door to find that man with an axe. They repeatedly ordered that man to drop the axe. He refused and started moving toward the officers. The officers first tried to tase him and when that didnt work, one of the officers fired and the man was shot dead. An autopsy later showed the suspect was high on meth at the time. Now to capitol hill this morning. President Trumps Administration is trying to put the Citizenship Question back on the census, this despite the Supreme Court decision against it. Today in the bays tracie potts is live for us in washington with more on this ongoing battle. Tracie . Marcus, good morning. So the court has spoken and the administration said they were printing the census without that Citizenship Question. It seemed like case closed, but its not.

In washington there is a government think tank that says the government will run out of money sooner rather than later. The government has less money coming in thanks to the tax cuts but the same amount of money going out. Now, it can borrow more money to make up the dumpifference but i hit the caps on the borrowing. The government will need to raise the debt ceiling. This happens all the time, but the due date to raise the debt ceiling now gets moved up to as early as september, but wait, theres more. Okay. Congress isnt in session in early september. They leave washington, the house leaves washington 17 days from now, meaning if this think tank is right, well run out of money while congress isnt there, meaning they have to do it now, theyve got 17 days and its just one more thing in washington where its a crisis. You cant get anything done in 17 days in washington. You most certainly cannot. Yikes. And counting. Countdown is on.

Im glad they didnt take the plunge. If they did, they did it together, badumboom. Im glad my husband did not get super creative with the plo p proposal. Are they hugging because she said yes or is that fear . Well do this later. Dont take any picture. Oh my goodness. When you have to have the friend to take the picture. No whoas where they were standing. Somewhere on the ground safe, like go ahead, click, click, click. All right, a lot of pictures could be taken today outside because it will be beautiful. Loving this weather. I just dont want it to end, but as we look at the forecast, there will be some changes. Here is a live lk outside, as you enjoy the nice cooldown, were also seeing lots of clouds. Thats whats going on at the golden gate bridge, and we are going to see those clouds lingering throughout much of the morning.

Now, this wont bring the bay area any rain, but we will see a few more clouds today, and the breezy onshore wind flow, but things change quickly as we go toward the end of the week. High pressure building across the desert southwest, heats up our temperatures, and we go from 79 today to 90 on saturday, even staying hot into next week. San francisco slightly warmer with more sunshine this weekend. Mike, you have a few changes into and out of the city. Thats right, were looking over here and overall no changes, green sensors and a little slowing out of the altamont. Standard pretty much any day, but were looking over here toward relief for southbound 101, drivers again heading down south 101 and trying to connect to 280, that reopened the connector and the crash have cleared. South 101, this should beuick recovery over the next couple of minutes as well, that crash again cleared from that side of the city. Over here into the city, theres only slowing at the bay bridge toll plaza. Everywhere else on the approach looks great.
