Be willing to accept the idea but it has to be a mutually benefit. And with both the warriors and the raiders leaving, this will be the last chance for oakland to keep a major sports team. We need to create a balance where we not only have a great stadium that brings with it a great Fan Experience but also protects and preserves the neighborhood. Are you up for that challenge . Bring it on, were ready. They had better because oakland is an intensely political town. The most things are their politics and their sports and they are going to both be tested in the next couple of years. This is going to take a while, right . It is and its interested to note that the as are willing to take their time. It took almost a year to select this site but unlike the warriors who had already made up their mind to take off or the raiders who basically put a gun to the citys head, the as are doing none of that. Instead they are going to sit downand try to work through this and with good reason. If they do score this site within walking distance of downtown, they dont just get a ballpark, they get a gold mine. Back to you guys. Thank you. Now in San Francisco the Police Department said an officers gun was stolen and used in a homicide, following the story for us from the newsroom. Someone said someone broke into an officers personal car last month and took a gun registered to him but the officer never knew it was missing. Then a few days later on august 15th, a shooting in this Mission District neighborhood, a 23yearold man shot multiple times. He gets rushed to the hospital but dies the next day. They have arrested 3 men in connection with this shooting and the sfpd has now opened an internal investigation to figure out just how the shooter got the gun. The Police Officers association said today the officer, a highly decorated veteran is devastated. Hes working with the department to fully comply with its investigation into this case. Two other recent cases federal agents had weapons stolen and used in deadly shootings. One of those with kate steinly. Thanks. You see berkeley getting ready for tomorrows speech by ben shapiro. Were going to begin with suzie on who shapiro is, suzie. Well, allen, we know protests are planned tomorrow in berkeley. College republicans will tell you thats just what happens any time a conservative speaker comes to campus here. But they actually chose ben shapiro because hes more moderate, but those protests are planned anyway. Im asking what is the best. Signs surrounding the Berkeley Campus warned warned a fashionist is coming to speak tomorrow, those words describe ben shapiro. Says they couldnt be. Law graduate, a prominent political conservative commentator. The president of berkeley republican. He invited him because hes more moderate than ann colt colter. We cant continue to be we have to insert all view points have a platform. Ben shapiro is 33 years old. Hes a graduate of of ucla and harvard law. He used to work with steve ban on. Now he runs the daily wire. He did not vote for President Trump, but is a strong conservative. Shapiro regularly appears at College Campuses chastising left wing. You pathetic children who cant handle anybody. And challenges ideals like white privilege. If you are going to dictate to me that i am supposed to pretend that men are women and women are men, no. My answer is no. Regardless of whether or not i were to disagree with his politics, i mean, free speech applies to everybody, right. Most students say they want to see free speech celebrated but cant ignore the fact that conservative speakers will likely bring about protests on this liberal campus. I worry that i dont want this campus to be furthered as like an unsafe learning environment for anyone. Tickets for shapiros speech did sell out in 45 minutes once they went on sale and berkeley republicans said they invited all opposing groups to come debate shapiro at the end of his speech, but only one campus group agreed to do so. The others said they are going to be out here protesting. Now to kpix 5s julie on the added measures in place for security. Julia. A lot of talk here on campus about ben shapiros appearance. There will be stepped up security and police will also have an extra defense tool, pepper spray. A thousand tickets were sold to this event. You must have a ticket and identification before you are even allowed to cross over a perimeter. We dont intend to abandon our free speech. And that commitment has prompted security pressures with Police Setting up barricades and a perimeter around the hall where ben shapiro will be speaking. Preparing for tomorrow. Lessons were learned after last february event where police force was outnumbered by members of this pair a military group that came on campus. So we will be stopping anybody wearing a mask and we will be confronting anybody who wants to engage in unlawful behavior. Pepper spray was okayed as another tool should there be any confrontations to law enforcement. And come 4 00 tomorrow there will be a closed perimeter around the hall and surrounding buildings with no access permitted unless you have a ticket. Parking will be closed all day at borrowed lane Parking Spaces, pepper tree Parking Spaces and the asuc garage.

A lot of bay area are trying to figure out where they stand on legal pot. In about 20 minutes will talk about setting some ground rules for marijuana. The city is taking an open approach. Recreational marijuana passed in november but as time ticks down to more and more municipalities are passing laws against it. Halfmoon bay isnt. We are taking a different approach than a lot of other cities and i think its because of the history we have here and we think its in the communitys best interest to explore this. So for the first time the city is holding a meeting specifically about can bus. Its looking to allow greenhouse cultivation and possibly on site retail for whats grown there. Most feed back has been positive but it wants more. I feel like its one of those places that is pretty open minded to Something Like that so i would expect more of a positive response. To move toward cultivation is steeped in the agriculture the fact the climate is ideal and the flower industry that she is struggled in recent years. After nafta, its been very difficult on flower growers. Our rose growers have had to change what they grow and how they grow it. Which is where, if its passed cannibus cultivation could potentially supplement that income. If you are interested it is here at the Senior Center in halfmoon bay. A close call in San Francisco after a tree falls on 2 parked cars trapping a man inside one of them. This happened on 38th avenue and clements street. They used a chain saw to get him out. I was just driving and lucky day, the tree just literally fell on me. They just chain sawed me out. I was really stuck. As you see he wasnt hurt. Crews used a crane to remove the rest of that tree. Drizzle skies. We saw a few people breaking out the umbrellas. This is kind of the ex clammation point for weather. 13 days in the bay area. The radar is completely clear.

We get a look at the tool that could save one bay area millions in clean up costs. Hundreds of people told not to use the tap water. The warning for a second night in one bay area community. And this home just sold for 800,000 over asking. How the apple effect is bringing sellers tears of joy. The high Tech Solution to urban to urban blight. A bay area couple, with a new new at 6 00, you are looking at what could be a high Tech Solution to urban blight. A bay area couple with a new way to erase graffiti. As kpix reports, there is now a way to remove graffiti remotely. Inconvenient. If we want to get graffiti paymented off a painted off a bridge you have to shut a freeway. Every dollar we spend removing graffiti is a dollar we dont spend filling potholes. The city spends a Million Dollars each year to remove graffiti but may have come up with a quicker cheaper alternative. They won the competition outfitting a drone with a spray can that can be used to remove it remotely. It flies untethered. They are increasing in the amount of payload they can hold, as well as the alt ability to customize sensors. They not only showed off their prototype but gave a Second Generation model. Their invention faces some significant regulatory challenges including a rule which prohibits flying drones over people and cars. There are certain regulations which say you are not allowed to fly over people or cars but there is a way to petition with the faa. But the city seems confident they will eventually be able to bring their expenses down by sending a drone up. Well, dont drink the tap water. Its the warning for people in Alameda Point. The water warning affects 268 homes and more than 60 businesses in areas west of main street. Kpixs john ramos with the concerns it may make people sick. On tuesday people in the Alameda Point were told there was some problem with the water and they shouldnt drink it. Now we hear you cannot take a shower. You cannot use the water for your dishes. Not even wash your clothes. The point is part of the Old Military Base and has a separate water system from the rest of the does city. While testing the workers found it had higher levels of salts and minerals. There was some water there that didnt match the profile so thats a red flag for us. We want to figure out where that other water came from. The city thinks its possible an irrigation line may have become connect canned to a water connected to a water main. They are flushing the 70year old system and while they say the problem is decreasing it may be a while before the residents can pour a drink or take a bath. Its going to be a matter of days. Were hopeful on friday we will have better news to share. People take showers, people drink water, feed their dogs. Everyone drinks it. Water is important. The city says they dont yet know whats in the water or if its dangerous but for now they are offering free bottled water for drinking and cleaning until the problem is resolved. We talked about the weird weather. How about this, hail in santa rose a coming down here on these police cars. Its about 7 30 this morning, not long after some lightning and thunder hit parts of the bay area. Crazy. It is just strange what we have had. A little bit of everything from the horrible air quality and the super hot weather. Then we got humid, then we had thunderstorms, then we got more thunderstorms and hail. All things that are uncommon in the bay area. Weve had them all in less than 2 weeks. Now back to normal, traffic is backed up. 66 degrees the high in San Francisco today. With that hail and rainfall. Some parts of the city got more than a quarter inch of rain. Sunshine san jose the warm spot at 80 degrees today.

San francisco also 10 degrees above average. Liver more 8 degrees, those will drop considerably next week. The low pressure area that has hung nearby finally exits tonight. It is responsible for the showers and thunderstorms over the sierra this afternoon, including a water spout over lake tahoe, but it leaves tonight taking the rain chance with it. Drizzle. Well continue to have it overnight and temperatures will not be as high because we will not have as high of humidity. Liver more, 61, 60 in San Francisco and 55 in santa rosa. The sunshine is back tomorrow and your highs will respond. Pleasant, cooler than average, san jose, 75. Only 6 in oakland and santa rosa, much more comfortable tomorrow and once we get back to normal, we will have a very nice run of weather, which will last at least the next 7 days. The one thing that stands out there, look at next week. Only the mid70s for highs near the bay. So we are getting cooler next week but pleasant weather into the weekend. Thanks, paul.

Chief quarterback alex smith was named the afcs offensive player of the week and the former 49ers pick called the organization disfunctional. I knew this was not healthy. Just the culture, everything about it. Forget the coaching changes, im talking just the culture of the building was not. What was it . The focus, just unhealthy, completely disfunctional. And what made it that way . Different people on different wave lengths, not a clear goal, the entire building, very separated, and even in that i think that all trickled into the locker room. It was a very separated locker room, offense, defense, special teams. Not everybody put in the team first. I think all those things that come with disfunction that are the opposite of what healthy teams have. Ouch. Take an aim at the 49ers. Giorgio tavecchio was named the made all 4 of his field goals sundays including a pair of 50yarders. Not bad for someone who has been cut 7 times since 2012. I feel very fort ate being called back.
