Ktvu tom vacar joining us now live in the studio with a closer look at the impact of leronne armstrongs candidacy. Tom, big deal. You know, oaklands politics just became far more intense as two warring parties that would be the mayor and the former police chief will clash even harder if the very popular former chief becomes a member of city council. Former Oakland Police chief laurent armstrong filed papers wednesday to run for the councilman at large seat currently held by rebecca kaplan, who has not yet decided to re seek that seat. I am completely connected to this city and i want to be a part of this city. Change moving forward. 15 months ago, the popular chief was fired by mayor shengtao after an outside investigation concluded that he had mishandled two Police Misconduct cases. He was later cleared of those allegations by an arbitrator. He is now suing the city of oakland, accusing the mayor of wrongful termination and seeking an office with power over her. I hope that i can be, you know, a reassurance to Business Owners and developers that want to come into this city that theres somebody that actually understands Public Safety on the council and that is focused on making sure that oakland is a safe city. I believe he will. Like i said, hes, he did a good job when he was the chief, i think he was wrongfully fired, but, i think hell do a good job. Well ill take that into consideration and look at his history. So if theres been criticism, i will listen to that criticism, too. But ill weigh him evenly as a candidate. I dont really think that there should be like police and government because they might be, like biased, you know . Political analyst brian sobel says chances are excellent because he is the leading candidate, because he has tremendous name recognition citywide. So what about endorsements . I think my endorsement will come from the people of oakland. I know people across the city. I have relationship tips with people across this city. And so the question ultimately arises, what if mayor shengtao is actually recalled . Will the former chief have a crack at that job . The future could show us an Armstrong Run for mayor under any circumstances. Is now at least eight. Others are seeking the seat, and some more may file. But armstrongs high profile and vast popularity makes him a very serious contender. Tom vacar ktvu fox two news yeah, indeed it does, tom, but boy, armstrong is going to have to play catch up fast. Theres one thing with being a police chief and leading a police department. Theres another. And in city politics, wondering, though, what he had to say today about the idea of potentially serving alongside people who supported his firing. Well he said that he was going to be a person who was going to represent his constituency, which is precisely the same constituency that the mayor has. He said that he will let the courts decide some of those issues, but hes going to try to be as cooperative as possible. Now, all of this hinges on something that we havent heard back from yet, and that is whether or not the current incumbent, rebecca kaplan, is going to run again. If she does, i think shes clearly got the lead because shes very popular herself. But make no mistake, chief armstrong, very powerful candidate. Yeah. And kaplan has been in City Government for several years. All right. Tom baker, thank you. Police in san leandro investigating a shooting that started with a car theft.

Milk, who was born 94 years ago, was the first openly gay man elected to Public Office in california when he was elected as a San Francisco supervisor in 1977. In november of 78, milk and San Francisco mayor George Moscone were shot and killed by supervisor dan white in the last hour at for the president emeritus of the harvey milk lgbtq democratic club, talked about milks influence beyond lgbtq rights. It was an equally strong advocate for renters, for workers, for people riding public transit. And he was really critical in the idea that the Gay Liberation movement needed to build coalitions and fight in solidarity with other movements for rights and for justice. As edward, right, said, that milk encouraged all people to speak up when the rights of others were under attack, not to stand out there on the sidelines.

But depape faces a litany of other charges from the San Francisco District Attorney. Ktvu Christien Kafton joins us live tonight from the city with the very latest christian. Yeah, we are in the midst of jury selection. And experts say this process selecting a jury can be the most critical part to any case. 120 prospective jurors filed into department 19 in San Franciscos hall of justice, marking the beginning of the state trial for david depape. San franciscos District Attorney charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment and threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official and added a new charge of threatening the staff or family of a public official. Now, prosecutors and public defenders are selecting the jurors who will decide his fate in county court. Ucsf school of law professor david levine says while the case is just getting underway, the outcome could be decided by who is selected to be on that jury. Experienced lawyers say that picking the jury is the whole thing, because those are the people who ultimately will make the decision and that the choices that you make as a lawyer in terms of, agreeing to hear, let somebody be on the jury or not make can make all the difference in the world due to the high profile nature of the case, the jurors are facing additional security measures, with deputies just outside the courtroom staffing a checkpoint and enforcing rules, including no Water Bottles inside. Jurors faced questions on just how much they had heard about the case, and even about their political leanings. Jurors can be excused for cause if theres some reason they cant serve, but the attorneys will also get to remove some as peremptory challenges. Randall knox is a former prosecutor and now a defense attorney. He says each side is now trying to pick the jury they think will deliver the verdict. They want. But for prosecutors, the bar, he says, is lower. The prosecutions got a video. This is a 21st century case. They have the crime actually recorded, visually. So the question would be for the defense. Can you find jurors that might be more sympathetic to somebody whos got a mental illness, who believes in a bunch of conspiracy theories . Yeah. Now, the jury Selection Process is expected to take several days. Now, theres a hearing scheduled for next tuesday, the same day depape is due back in federal court, where he was already convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Now, this afternoon, weve learned that depapes defense team in that federal court case are asking for a new judge and are asking to halt that hearing where he could speak out in court. After u. S. District judge Jacqueline Scott corley did not allow depape to address the court himself last week. So there are a lot of moving parts here, guys. Yeah, a lot going on. And with that christian at this point, do we know at all how thats going to play out or how it could affect the state case at least . Yeah, thats one of the Big Questions thats out there. Mike, at this point we dont know exactly how this is all going to play out or how it could impact the state case. Now, the same day that that hearing is planned, there is a hearing thats planned here in San Francisco superior court to address issues about whether double jeopardy applies in this case. And double jeopardy, of course, is where you cant convict the same person twice of th
