Out of vehicle window. You see police continuing with some unrest. It appears that they fire some teargas. We see some people detained at this point at least two that we caught on video that had scrimmages with police. We are not sure what happened to them at this point. Police continue to hold the line. This is our san jose bureau in downtown santa clara. Live look right now of the coverage of the protest happening in san jose. We do have protests scheduled as well. We will have much more on those the viewers hear this round look. The camera on the ground shows one person being detained by Police Officers in san jose. This is a second person weve seen being taken away and detained. We saw one earlier a person i dont know if it was a man or woman but they were in the crowd and at one point they were tackled to the ground by at least two or three officers. Then picked up and walked away from the rest of the group. Now you can see the camera was on him a few seconds ago, he was also detained as well. At least two people detained. You can see officers raising a weapon almost raising a weapon towards the person. We have not seen things turn to violent as of yet. We have seen teargas dispersed into the crowd. At some point the crowd seems to be calm and peaceful. They are shouting and holding up signs. Of the other point you see crowds dispersed and run when the teargas is fired. Its a very fluid situation and a very chaotic situation for people on the ground. You can see the protesters raising their hand to the air in front of the police line to get people some perspective. This is downtown san jose in santa clara and 10th street. You can see the media is in there as well is a try to record what is happening. People have their cell phones out as well. Trying to capture anything that will happen in any type of confrontation with protesters and the Police Officers. Again, weve seen the moments in the protest. We saw one Police Officer in san jose engaging in terms of a verbal discussion it seemed like an intense discussion. He was engaging in discussions with folks. These are members of the community as well. San jose chief, eddie garcia and other Law Enforcement officers in the bay area condemned what happened with floyd and his passing and his death. Now we see the officer involved was charged. All across the country there are protests. Denver, we had hundreds of protesters. That one, shut down bus and rail service. We have not heard of that happening here in this area. We did see protests around different parts of the country. It got a bit chaotic. Minneapolis of course in the last three days. We are watching here again, police and demonstrators, some getting very verbal. Nothing we have not seen in previous demonstrations. We see skirmishes breakout as we walk in. At least two women were being detained and another person was being detained after they lunged at an officer. The mayor said they want folks to be able to have their voices heard and thats what some people are doing. Hands up and signs in the air. Something familiar weve seen and pass protests around the country when people are demonstrating against violence against africanamerican and minority groups you see folks Holding Signs and you see some engaging with the Police Officers. Once in a while you will see some tear grass gas into the crowd. Some folks are causing more of an issue they are doing more according to the mayor, they are causing issues that are causing police to act. In the larger picture here, police are in the position they are in to keep the demonstration peaceful. They do not want violence. You are mentioning sam ricardo, the mayor, will he spoke with us for some time talking about whats unfolding in his city. He said he wants people to exercise their First Amendment right and he understands the need to protest but when things turn violent, Police Officers will step in. They dont want things to turn violent tonight or into the weekend. We also asked him about his thoughts about the death of george floyd and officer, Derek Chauvin have been charged with thirddegree murder. The mayor said he was a former prosecutor in this was the right move to make in this case. He understands the anger and the fact that people are upset in the community. This is something that should not have happened. George floyd should still be with us today. When we heard from the mayor he was understanding and sympathetic to the protest but he wants to make a point to say they want these protests to remain peaceful, if they turn violent, the police will step in and have to deploy teargas. What weve seen so far things have been peaceful. Only a few people a pain detained. Is not just San Jose Police, the Sheriffs Office is also stepping him. They have a bunch of resources on the ground called him. They were first called from the california highway patrol. Chp called them this afternoon when the protest started on the freeway on highway 101 in san jose when the group of protesters started to block cars. Is been 100 people in we see the crowd grow over the past two hours as we enter into the 6 00 hour. This has been going on and people are protesting in san jose. As we mentioned at the top of the hour, there is a curfew in effect in minneapolis to curtail the unrest there. What we are seeing in san jose is the tip of the iceberg of protests that we are seeing across the country. I want to say with the mayor tweeted after conversation on the 5 00 news. San jose police will take a measured approach. The mayor said on his twitter page two facilitate peaceful protest at but there will be no tolerance of violence. A peaceful protest will also be a peaceful response but violence will never be. He talked about his sadness over George Floyds unfortunate death. The mayor letting residents know that he understands what happened is certainly wrong. He understands that San Jose Police chief, eddie garcia said a few days ago that denounced the Law Enforcement officials and announced and denounced what happened to george floyd. We have seen small moments breakout in which police have used teargas canisters. It started at 101, alum rock area. Seems like a couple hundred people taking part in demonstrations as we speak. You see people with bullhorns, they are holding their signs and holding their hands up and declaring hands up dont shoot or hands up i cant breathe. It looks like gas canisters. Police are now moving and. Someone on the ground. They appear to be okay not quite sure it seems like protesters are taking him back in trying to protect them from the Police Officers who moved in. Some type of action is being made and you can see teargas is being deployed at the crowd. Protesters are yelling and shouting at the Police Officers. Police officers are responding with teargas. To be clear what we are told earlier, they only use these measures if they were attacked or an act of violence is committed. If thats the case, we are right there and police are firing the teargas canisters. Someone might have been throwing something at them for someone responding in that way. We cant tell what has happened but we have seen obviously we have been covering this for the last hour and 15 minutes or weve been on the air since 4 00. Weve seen a traffic cone, Water Bottles and several things tossed at Police Officers. They are trying to hold the line and make sure the protest day peaceful. Putting your hands up i cant breathe, thats part of the demonstrations i have. Law enforcement is watching out for the this. People throwing more things of the Police Officers. Police officers might be prompted to use tear gas to disperse the crowd. We have people that are holding their signs up and then you have people throwing things at Police Officers. We dont want to see people fire teargas into the crowd. If this point we have not seen any type of damage to any businesses. We havent seen damage to small businesses. We are just seeing what we have seen here, Police Officers are trying to move in and keep the crowds back. In terms of Major Property damage we have not seen, fires we have not seen. We saw a car have its window broken out. Thats the extent of the damage weve seen so far. We have the mayor from san jose joining us on the phone. Mayor thank you for joining us in this next hour. Tell us about the dynamics that has now changed from the last hour to now as you see police move in and control the crowd here. The police are trying to push them west along santa clara street to disperse the crowd. So we dont have so many people gathered in one space. Obviously that reduces the risk of a violent outburst. Mayor do you have a sense of how many are arrests have been made . I dont have a good number for you. I know its been several. And weve also had one one of the Police Officers that has been hurt and being treated now. Have you been able to speak to chief, has he told you about what has happened here . Chief garcia has told me hes doing everything he can to take a measured approach. They dont want to provoke a violent reaction. But they do need to disperse the crowd. Thats why they issued the Unlawful Assembly order there have been some damage to the city and violent outbursts. Thats when we need to take a no tolerance approach which is disperse the crowd and help them get home safety. Go ahead andre. All the protesters are they trying to get them to leave the area is that what you are saying . Yes absolutely. Every one of these officers want to go home to their families safely and the protesters want to go home safely. I think everyone agreed we have the same goal. We will be able to get there and i should add everyone of the individuals probably share the same outrage over the atrocity in minneapolis. Can you give us a sense of the crowd is it diminishing . It looks like its getting smaller. Is seems dispersed, we cant tell if the crowd has grown from what we saw on the highway or if it is getting smaller. Is seems smaller, base what ive seen. We had peaceful protest at city hall with a larger number of people that were assembled. That would appear that its a relatively small number i would guess, no more than 50 that are there on santa clara street that have a confrontational posture with the police. They are trying to make sure they stay calm and cool so we can go home safely. The Police Department across the country, have taken different approaches with connecting to their community. You mentioned earlier during ne there is another layer here of making sure the community understands what the police are doing and vice versa. Can you explain what the Police Department have done to help both sides be on the same page . The police chief is very deeply committed to ensuring that communities have long felt abused and neglected by the police or targeted by the police. Those communities that he reaches out to personally. I know everyone on the city council feel the same way. We want this to be a single city that recognizes a critical place that keeps us all safe. It helps us have coffees in cafes and encourage folks to come out and engage in have those Difficult Conversations and pose tough questions. We have an Ice Cream Truck that shows Police Officers in a good different light. So it shows they are here to help. Theres scrutiny and accountability. Extraordinary measures have been taken across the country. Body cameras and we released support and Youth Support arrests have been declining. This is something we take seriously. We deescalate violence this is not something they take up an occasional episode in the country this has been ingrained in the culture over the last several years. Its something that the chief is deeply committed to. You would say this department has definitely focused on the issues that have really bothered many parts of the country in terms of relationship with minorities. You say this department as a whole it in the city has a concerted effort to make sure this is a situation where both parties understand each other. Certainly. We will keep taking those every measure we possibly can to continue to reach out. The reality is the issues of race and policing and injustice are not going to go away. This is something we have to work at every single day. Obviously we will see these kinds of confrontations. We know this is part of the natural outrage that is expressed when you see and injustice of the kind we see in minneapolis. This is something we need to let people express the outrage and allowed the feeling and hopefully a lot of learning. Mayor, can you give us the sense at the start of your call that there have been several people that have been arrested in one officer has been hurt. You know if the people that have been arrested have been hurt as well and what was the nature of the officer being heard . I dont. I have not seen any ambulances or firetrucks that would help someone that was hurt. I have not seen anything visibly along santa clara street. I dont have good intelligence right now because as you imagine the situation is changing very quickly. At this point you dont know the officer who is injured if they were taken to a hospital or if it was an injury. The officer was taken to Valley Medical Center and being treated. Mayor let me ask you a question. We can show these pictures and talk about situations. Thats why i tried to talk on the subject of weve seen the outreach from the Police Departments around the country where you describe what happens in the San Jose Police department. To do think its enough to ask as you watch what happens in minneapolis and whats happened here, is this enough or if so or if not what else would you do . Is obviously not enough. We got a lot more to do. The struggle our nation has had it is not gonna go away despite good intentions from many of us. It reflects centuries of injustice. Is going to take all of us to be determined to ensure when there is injustice, we speak up about it. And we do everything we can to end it. Hopefully we can do that in a way thats nonviolent. I know its disappointing today to see that some of the protest has taken the wrong turn. Most of the protesters are out there expressing themselves in a way that frankly, reflects the outrage that the entire community feels. What would you say, mayor, two people who are upset by the type of damage and violence that they see for example, if things turn violent tonight and businesses get damaged vandalized, what would the message be to the public . We hope that certainly not going to be the case. The officers seem to be doing a good job right now to de escalate the situation. The crowd is getting smaller and smaller and most of them are dispersing. I think the Important Message for everyone here in the days ahead is to recognize we are all on the same team. There is not an officer on this Police Department the does not feel the outrage that all the members of the community feel when they see the awful video on the horrible death of george floyd. And no officer in this department ever wants to see that happen ever again in the united states. People will tell you that they see this happen time and time again. One thing that i know of, they want to make sure something is being done the conversations are being had. A lot of time these protests happen because they dont feel their community is being looked after. It took several days to arrest this Police Officer. The conversation is whats important. Moving past the conversation and the action as well. What do you as a city leader plan to do after all is said and done with your colleague or do you have a plan in mind and what you can learn from this. Theres a lot of actions we are taking now that we need to continue. In november we will go to the ballot to expand the authority of the Police Officer. Can you talk more about that . There have been limitations of the Authority Place when office was created back in the 90s over their ability to review cases, for example. Weve been in engagement with the Police Officers and the union and everyone and i think everyone agrees, this is not right, we need to assure theres more accountability and transparency. We want to make sure they have the full scope to review the cases and review problematic investigations to light. To make sure police are doing as good a job as possible policing themselves. We are going to make sure his publicly vetted. We look at what this chief has done in implementing new kinds of training around policing focusing on all the hidden bias that each one of us have and de escalation of violence thats all happening at the Lease Academy level. Repeatedly throughout the officers career. And also ensuring we are doing a better job reporting as we did several years ago we show every day intention of every individual, no matter how brief recorded. Age, every aspect of the individual is detained. And that is reported and outside auditors and experts are looking at the data and trying to understand how are we doing and are we policing fairly and constitutionally . Inviting the scrutiny of outsiders in and ensure everyone in the public can see the data. Those are the kinds of steps we need to push forward. Are you proud of the progress we have made so far when it comes to Police Brutality or in terms of the training and attack etc. Used every day . Absolutely. Weve got a lot of work to do, this is not a perfect department. We will have those days when we are all going to wish it had been done differentl
