Remain cool with San Francisco at 75 oakland a little cooler than yesterday you had a record breaking 88 yesterday today only 80 degrees she had to ignore those upper 90s all occurred of livermore and even the triple digits, tilting yacht in antioch from today into tomorrow though is when the relief really sets it our daytime highs are going to fall the titans on average and went to leave the 70s by tomorrow afternoon. So looking at some really just around the corner. Im talking more about it still ahead back to you guys a shot so the nation as weve seen is coming together to mourn the death of george floyd calling for an end to Police Brutality. This is a look at the of peaceful protests that we saw all around the bay area yesterday from San Francisco to oakland to san mateo and again the great news is. It was all peaceful. And here we take it down on the streets of San Francisco where people walked through the neighborhood there. In a march in show against Police Brutality. The San Francisco protests were largely peaceful as well and because of that the mayor london breed has lifted the citys curfew as you can see kron fours will tran live at dolores park. With more on the demonstration and the decision by the mayor will. The decision by the mayor without trying to be funny were all parents right its almost like you monitor the situation. You like what you see so okay, its lift there. Restrictions so to speak right now youre okay to do what you did before i had to put down the restrictions. Shes been watching whats going on she saw what happened at dolores park you dont even see trash here, they cleaned it up so well no looting, no breaking into things no injuries and the mayor like that and thats why she lifted the curfew all together you dont have to worry about it anymore. Often the distance thats mission high thats where they started gathering in fact let me show you video it started actually online by a 17 yearold girl from San Francisco and she hashtag no justice, no peace, San Francisco and so many people gathered at the location that numbers range anywhere between like 15 to 30,000 people depending on whos counting. But nonetheless he saw how many people flooded the streets. They were told not to cause any trouble any disturbances but to shout out or speak out against Police Brutality and the system that they say is geared towards our geared against i should say African American and people of color. They marched through the streets went down to. The hall of justice continue their protests. All the while being watched by the Police Officers who never had any reason to engage with the protesters so everybody thinks its a great success. But they say theres still so much work that needs to be done. Im just tired. I want to support my people as much as possible. I want to see solidarity im tired of the silence, im tired preaching over and over again posting it on instagram and thats to go anywhere we need to be out here we need to be on the front line and do as much as we can. As much as we can that also entails according to a lot of protesters investing in African American and people of color businesses invest back into mission. This is why they purposely chose this area because that 17 yearold girl. We started her family dates back to the 1960s for the mission area so theyve us not a coincidence that she chose this location as far as the curfew its a very fluid situation it can always be reinstalled so to speak, but it looks like everything is going well to the point where even the San Francisco police chief. He is behind lifting the curfew back to you. All right, thank you very much well. Well lets turn our attention oakland as we jump across the bay. We have video of the peaceful protests that was getting started. Yesterday evening you can see the crowd. Theyre beginning to assemble the protesters say of course a frustrated at the lack of change with regard to Racial Injustice around the country and around the bay area and they wanted that message to be loud and clear. They were also protesting against the curfew in alameda county. Although was a much different scene dont forget just a few days ago few nights ago when officers had to use tear gas to break up the crowds. Oaklands interim police chief talked for a bit about why they made that decision to use tear gas to and it was never our intent to want to use them. However, there are guidelines strict guidelines of when we will use that our policy or crowd control policy. States that. We will we may use gas or other distract are such a smoke. When theres an immediate threat of violence to our community or and officers. When theres damage and destruction of property and only under the instruction and approval, a high ranking commander. And another sign of just how much calmer the situation was last night. There was only one reported arrest. No citations were given and there were no reports of violence or looting. Oaklands curfew is still in effect is from 08 00pm until 05 00am and will stay in effect until further notice. In the north bay, a Peaceful Community gathering and fairfield drew hundreds of people and kron fours felecia call was there. Make no mistake with fairfield ministers are angry over the death of george floyd and the way he lost his life ive been crying and its very difficult i when i see it come on to try to change channels a little tired of seeing it and even more tired of senseless killings, but whatever your form of expression pastors say it needs to be peaceful do can see a lot of Law Enforcement fairfield a Law Enforcement our chief of our city officials i think the outrage is pretty widespread and the best way this group of hundreds felt was appropriate to remember and honor george floyd was to take a collective me several times during the gathering at louis freeh Community Park driving home, the importance of standing up for equality in your Standard Times like were just shallow. Words can get lost. The actions speak. The actions of everyone gathered together as one of the things that makes parafield special complete strangers to the floyd family offering their condolences also extending an olive branch to the African American community or may not be able to raise anyones pain at all. But i would like to apologize. Im sorry. Well, im sorry for anyone who refuses to be far from themselves. Organizers say good can come from George Floyds death at the top of the list making sure Police Officers with poor records receive a greater degree of scrutiny. Before being allowed to work for another Law Enforcement agency following a termination in fairfield flipped at all kron 4 news. And even though things are changing like in San Francisco as we said which is lifting its curfew theyve seen the demonstrations turned peaceful. There are several cities and counties that still have curfews at least through the end of this week and most are from 08 00pm until 05 00am but you can find the exact hours and exact counties and cities affected by those on our website at kron 4 dot com.

James and darya they tell me theyre still working to get that fire out, but they have a pretty good handle on it, but i wanted to show you. The damage that was done in this neighboring neighborhood here you can see the homes behind me burned at least 4 of them in a row here now theyve been battling that fire since yesterday were going to show you just how massive that fire actually got here in the area you see that field on fire you see. Firefighters working to try to get this out this is in the area of elmwood and maple street around 3. 26 yesterday. The neighbors in the area tell me they were evacuated. The house is directly across from these homes and they said that they were out of their home for at least several hours into the night. Well firefighters work to try to get a handle on that. Now they lost at least are more than a eyes here a 100 firefighters were on scene trying to battle that fire that grew to about 300 acres. Now again the Wildlife Center here the area also was burma thankfully they were able to say the majority of that building im told that some animals inside a were lost as a result of that fire but some were able to be released. We talked to some of the neighbors in the area and heres what they had to say about that scary scene. All in all it takes is all it could it took was just him. It should be a little worse the hole someone like last year. It was coming up over the hill by seem a hill road and then was headed back with my brother and then last year so we knew it was going to fire but not this big this is ive never seen anything like this before ever. And now you guys are looking at video that i shot early this morning as you can see the fire was still pretty active then just like man said who i interviewed this morning who talked about just how volatile that fire was and he hadnt seen anything like it. In this area, you know were getting very close to fire season is that began so firefighters are trying to make sure that people are safe. Theyre keeping the grass trend in front of their yards and homes and again with that high wind and the high temperatures from yesterday was just a mixture for a fire like that that was bound to spread in the way that it did darya and james. All right, thanks a lot rhonda. Time now is 8. 10 coming up on the kron 00 04am morning news, its going to be another hot day around the bay as weve been saying john tribal will join us with in the buzz on the same day more charges are filed against Minneapolis Police bay area residents take to the streets to make sure the george floyd did not die in vain. From private citizens to politicians. 2 superstars steph curry marched alongside aishah they were in oakland splash brother Klay Thompson areas that staff. Next i shot Klay Thompson raising his fist against racism there and warriors teammate want escotto anderson and well find a message echoed by president barack obama. Its not our job to its like i said its our job to enlighten and educate those dont know if youre a certain way everybody then drops are the same way we are different people they dont have the luxury of going up in a city like open to diversity during members of our trade just remember. This country was founded on protests. Called the american or revolution. And every step. Progress in this country. Every expansion of free. Every expression of our deepest ideals. Has been. One crew. Efforts that made the status quo on top. And th we should all. Be thankful for folks who are willing in a peaceful. This is one way to be out there making a difference. What motivates people to make a difference what brings out our tears are fears how do we handle those feelings and how on earth do we explain all of this to our kids usc professor doctor ruth white joins us live from oakland to talk about the emotional effects of racism, social activism and change. Good morning and i i think you know i remember you talking about Walking Around like mary you live near there did stephon i should stop by. I wasnt i was not there today, but i was out there for and saturday when there was at protests around grand lake theater. Yeah and also for the drive a protest on sunday. I think it was by the lake as yeah, i mean you know being in the same neighborhood i live near the rose garden, its its great i mean to see people going out to protest and in peace together and like step said you know open is very diverse and so were used to seeing you know people have ethnic groups and races get together to fight. Injustice that is you know the history claim so it is you know were just continuing what has always been here, i mean this is where the back and his were found and so its a really you know its its great to see that energy and to see people committed to the cause i think it is so yet, lets say youre watching or your kids are watching tv and they do see Something Like we saw. With staff a nation the people around like mayor really all the protests, the bay area yesterday. Its easy to say wow okay, this is great things are happening. I feel good. Then theres the other stuff that everybodys been saying you yeah and i mean its hard for you not to feel for the family of george floyd when i saw and you saw his daughter, you know on tv and how she was saying you know she barely even understood what was happening and she said you know my dad is going to change the world i think we have video of her and there she is with her mother and then were watching at the same time. Doctor white. This destruction happening right outside our neighborhood, you know right so the looting and so its its it can be very scary for people. And and saddened so theres all these emotions going on so what what are we how do we process that. Well you know, theres 2 sides like you said right one of the things to remember is that people are angry people are upset. And they have a reason to be upset right is violence always the answer no nobody would say that and thats why protests started out peaceful lot and we know theres a lot of you know all issues around to starting the violence et cetera, but theres none of the marches have been started all been started peacefully and a lot of that has to be with you know interactions between police because when hes in oakland change their strategy a couple days ago we didnt have any by white people just dissipating they were their past curfew et cetera, so its really i think its really important to remember that we should protest we should stand up and say this is unjust and that you know in terms of watching violent. Its just like watching the videos of what made i i suggest a lot which is not to watch it. I dont watch those videos. I think its really important for children to not be exposed to level of trauma or violence, either because theyre not going to see why i asked you know just as i knew what was going was actually going to interview for another news station and they were talking about i was talking to people who have kids and some of them have taken their kids to marches and you know some of the kids are very upset they can see there are asking should i be scared of the least and they really think that for young children. Parents should monitor their consumption of things like watch the news after they go to bed because for a lot of kids its a very upsetting thing to see that level of bond you cant take them for protests and theres some theres some guys around how to do that and how to process that its really important to talk to kids remind them that their say remind them that you are there for them teen arm to talk to and the parents have to remain calm because kids get their cues from so theyre upset theyre going to be upset if they really have a hard time processing a lot and it can also be confusing even in what youre trying to explain things like. O well, the police are trying to you know make sure that everybodys safe and theyre going well, they know how come there are tear gas or all the police are going to protect me will not how come that happened to that guy that they were arrested it so its confusing its and and then also wanted to ask you about mob mentality being a good thing or a bad thing because like when you participate with a big group you can either get swept up and taken away in a bad place or a good place senate. The simple example is in social change. But like just if youre like on bay to breakers run suddenly swept up in an energy so going out and participating does kind of help people like us. And thats part of our wiring like that though the way people think. Yes, well you know it we feel good in its we are in a situation where were standing up for justice and its collective experience to ask people about why they like working a lot of people will say it is good to be like im not the only one feeling this way that other people feel this way and other people want to spend of other people want to make a change so that collective experience is very empowering i was talking to africanamerican mom and she took her 9 yearold and she said her 9 yearold was afraid at first because of the riots that they got there and things were fine and she said half an hour later her daughter was not breathing anymore. I have other parents whose kids are older. Who are going to protest with thing and so its its important to say you know bad things can happen. But you know im going to be here to keep you safe and mom and dad are going to be here to protect your mom or dad or that and i saw the mom where is our home that were here were here for you and its again its really important to me to make sure that theyre not seeing a lot of violence because violence is trauma in children wi get nightmares and they will get and just some people are telling you that their kids are little different a little you know nervous and there are some books that people can their 3 books like to pray for today. Theres theres a classic white collar, lets talk about race by julius lester, and this helps kids understand what race is theres also bear a very popular one that ive been seeing up upstairs for quite some time is called a is for activist and then one that has been winning awards call something happened in our town a childs story about Racial Injustice and it just helps if the kids have something thats huge for them to understand and parents have to again be concrete not be afraid be calm be a place of safety for your child very good. Thank you so much doctor way for joining us this morning and your book is good reading too so lets plug that one more time this is about stress. How did the stress and 10 minutes or less the stand thank you doctor. And we will talk to you next time, im sure it will be back with more in just a few minutes, thanks for watching a bus.

She does not believe that local district attorneys should be the one investigating misconduct in their own police departments, she further explains what legislation she is fighting for in dc to reform policing in america. So im calling for independent investigations of police misconduct. Im also calling for what we need to do around the National Standard use of force standard by that i mean this when theres been a finding of Excessive Force by Police Officer and that Police Officers charged with Excessive Force. When they go to a court the court. Based on the current standard simply ask was it reasonable. Were almost every action you can find that there some reason but its not thats not a fair standard given that were talking about so im arguing that the standard should be now was it reasonable.
