this song was made definitely in the '70s. and it happens to be -- >> i love it. >> sal and i are both finally 40, right, sal? >> this song happens to be one of mike mibach's favorites because he is a dead head, even though he doesn't look like one. good morning, everyone. it is "mornings on 2: the 9". i am sal castaneda along with pam in for gasia, and mike. >> it occurs to me what a long strange trip it's been. indeed. >> it sure has been. all right. we have a lot of news to get to. >> we do. all right. we will start with the shake-up at the tonight oakland police department. police chief sean whent is out. >> yeah, he led the oakland police department for the past three years. he left last night. a very big surprised. >> whent took over in 2013. he has been with the oakland police department for 20 years. officially, mayor libby schaaf says whent resigned, but a source tells us he was forced out. >> the bay area news group reports that mayor schaff has been angry about allegations of sexual misconduct within the department. four police officers accused of something sex with an underage daughter of a police dispatcher. now, whent went on to issue a statement through the mayor's office last night which read, in part, i am so proud to have served oakland over the course of my two decade long career. when i took this job three years as interim chief i vowed to help move the department forward and make oakland safer by forging a stronger relationship with members of this diverse community. i am proud to have done that. >> mayor schaff has scheduled a news conference that is said to begin shortly. this is a live picture inside city hall. the microphones are set up. in a press release last night, schaff said she was grateful for the chief's dedication and service to the city and said that his decision to resign was a personal choice which she respects. >> we will bring that news conference to you live as soon as the mayor steps up to the microphone. our crime reporter henry lee joining us now. first, your reaction when you heard about this? >> i was shocked, but then not all together too surprised because we are talking about a whole bunch of off duty misconduct scandals. this is one of the most reformed minded chiefs that oakland has had. if he couldn't cut it, i am not sure if anyone can. i was telling you, you know, no matter who the top cop is, this is one of the hardest jobs in law enforcement not only to be an oakland police officer, but to be the police chief. it's absolutely challenging. >> henry, do you think that the mayor gave the police chief an ultimatum of some sort? clean it up soon, or you're out? >> yeah, the writing was on the wall. i was at the latest oakland police graduation on may 20th. this was three days after the contra costa d.a. told the department we are not going to charge an officer with criminal misconduct alleging sexual acts with that dispatcher's daughter. so three days after that, they had the graduation. the chief and libby schaaf both addressed the new graduates and said, you know what? you need to keep track of your off duty conduct. after that graduation, the mayor told reporters i am happy to have sean whent as my chief. this just days after greg suhr in san francisco -- >> yeah, sounds like what happened in san francisco. both cities making a big statement. >> absolutely. it's tough. a whole bunch of officers -- the officer scandals. criminal charges against some of them. now this. again, he was a former inspector general. head of the internal affairs and a lot of officers in the rank and file. >> when i look at the former chiefs here, just in the last decade wayne tucker, anthony bets, howard jordan, sean whent. i mean, tucker did, i think, four or five years. everyone else was kind of short term. what do you expect to be the next chief? who do you expect the next chief to be? >> it's a tough call. i know that ben farrow, who worked has way up the ranks at opd, to captain, he is captain now, he is interim top cop, serving as the bart police deputy chief. we are not sure if he was dragged in or pressured to come back. he left to join bart police. now he is coming back. it remains to be seen. do we want an outsider who comes in with fresh eyes, or someone from the inside who knows how oakland police operates and knows what the department needs to get on stronger footing. that's a big question. >> it's interesting. the police chiefs you mentioned, the crime rate went down during that time. to come in and take on this controversy. also, you have a big responsibility. people want it to be safe. >> a lot of the top cops in the past, wayne tucker, you know, howard jordan, they had talked about a lot of city hall bureaucratic red tape. they were told cut crime, but you can't do this, you can't do that. so a lot of the previous top cops say, you know what? i quit. i can't do it. >> i can't deal with this. >> you tell me what to do, but you are not giving me the tools to do it. >> the mayor wants to run for re-election. she wants to come to the people of oakland and say look what i have done in my tenure to reduce crime. to mayor libby schaaf is now walking into the press conference at city hall. again, she is going to address the media very soon here and this is about the chief resigning, but a lot of people say he was forced out. once she starts speaking -- one last question, henry. do you think something that precipitated this sudden departure? >> i think it was the domino affect. the officers accused of underage incidence with the dispatcher's daughter. a drunk officer going to another house and assaulting a woman. >> what would chief whent be able to do to prevent that? more personnel, i guess? >> you would have to tell his officers, as he had -- >> here is the mayor of oakland, libby schaaf, addressing the media. >> the resignation of our police chief sean whent effective today. we have provided copies of his resignation letter to you. i do want to appreciate and note the incredible accomplishments that happened under chief whent's leadership. 39% reduction in shootings and homicides over the last three years. and national recognition for principled policing. our body worn program. our procedure justice training. our investigation of bias and how to overcome it, as well as incredible strides to rebuild community trust in this department, which we value so much. sebrina laundries, the city madder, is going -- city administrator is going to speak to the confidence we have moving forward, as well as our introduction of our interim chief, which we truly appreciate serving us at this moment. with that, sebrina. >> thank you, mayor. i do want to lift up the incredible work of the men and women that work for our police department. the hardest working police department in the country. i assure you their commitment to principled policing continues. it is unparalleled in maintaining our progress we have made in this city is about an institution. not an individual. i want to thank them in advance for their help in this time of transition. at this time i want to introduce ben farrow. our interim chief. i want to also just lift up bart for allowing us to borrow chief farrow. chief will be on loan to us during this time of transition. we will be conducting a national search immediately. ben farrow is not new to the city of oakland. he served here most recently at the rank of captain and with the department for, i believe, 21 years before he joined bart. so chief farrow, do you want to introduce yourself? >> good morning. it's an honor and a privilege to be here this morning. i can tell you i spent the last 26 years of my career serving the city of oakland in one form or another, as was mentioned. 21 years with oakland pd, leaving as a captain, and now as a deputy chief with the bart police department. and i am extremely grateful for the opportunity to help the city maintain the momentum that it has had in its crime- fighting reduction and reaching out to the community and building those bridges. i have been away for several years. i am ready to hit the ground running. i have stayed in touch. it will be a process of getting caught up on the most contemporary issues. but i can assure you the momentum that the police department has when it comes to fighting crime and establishing those relationships with the community is going to continue and improve. the focus of my efforts to get up to speed and keep things running will be both internal and external because it's not just about the police department, but the community that we serve and reaching out to the community, who are stakeholders in what's going on in the city. that can only help but achieve the potential that the city has. so thank you. >> all right. and with that i am sure you all have questions. so karen boyd is going to be fielding question. >> reporter: is it going to -- >> please state your name and the media outlet for all of us. >> reporter: [ inaudible ]. 39% drop in violent crime is come mendable. why did you push the chief out? >> the chief's decision to resign was his decision. he has stated his reasons in his letter. i am very appreciative of the incredible gains in safety that we have made in this city. >> reporter: bob, oakland magazine. when people resign, do you notice [ inaudible ]. people don't just walk off the job, especially somebody in charge of 700, 800 people. this seems like someone got pushed. [ inaudible ] >> the decision to resign was the chief's. under our court supervision, we have certain obligations to confer with the monitor on decisions. but i want to assure you that all the decisions that were made in this matter were made by myself and the city administrator. the decisions that needed concurrence from the monitor, we received such concurrence. it's very important to us that both the court and the public have confidence that the decisions that are made in this city would be the right decisions regardless of whether there is court involvement or not in our police department. and i can assure you that all of the decisions that the city administrator and i have made in this matter received the concurrence of the court. >> reporter: because the police department [ inaudible ] can you tell us when it comes to decisions like this, how much of a percentage does the court play a factor in it? you may have overall control of the appointments, or do you have the final say? >> they are important to the court and to the public that people have confidence that the decisions that are made by myself and the city administrator are the right decisions. we make all the decisions in this matter. to the extent that we were required to have court concurrence, we received such concurrence on all of our decisions. none of our decisions were changed. >> reporter: will you be releasing the investigative file [ inaudible ]. will you be releasing the entire criminal file in that case? >> at this point, things are rapidly evolving. this just happened. issues like that i will certainly look into. but i don't know at this time. >> i will add that the district attorney is also conducting an investigation of the -- or a review -- the district attorney is conducting a review of the investigative process in all the criminal matters, including the one that you referred to, and i know that she will be concluding her review relatively soon. >> reporter: do you think that if the -- if opd wasn't -- didn't have an independent monitor, do you think chief whent would have resigned? >> again all of the decision that is were made in this matter were the chief's and ours. the monitor has concurred with those decisions. >> reporter: are you saying that you did have a decision in his resignation? >> there are many decisions that were made relative to this moment of transition. probably the most significant one the appointment of this interim chief, who i have tremendous confidence in. i have had the pleasure of working with chief farrow for many years. you should know that he led our internal affairs division here in the oakland police department. he was also the commanding officer for the office of the inspector general. he came to bart to lead reforms in that department, and he is the absolute right person to seamlessly continue the forward momentum of this department at this time. >> reporter: may i follow-up? >> let others have a chance. >> reporter: mayor, [ inaudible ] blast the the chief's decision over the last 20, 30 years. do you think the department [ inaudible ]. >> the chief's resignation was a personal decision, and i respect it tremendously. this is an incredibly difficult job for anyone, and for their family. >> reporter: are you hoping the new chief can last, you know -- >> all right, that's mayor libby schaaf making official. oakland police chief sean whent is out. the mayor was asked several times if she pushed him out. >> why did you push him out? >> she said it's the chief's decision. >> do you believe her, henry, or not. >> well, you know, if history is any indication, i think there is a little bit of arm twisting and to save face she is saying lets have you put out that -- or we will put it outs a personal decision. >> it's very political. we weren't having protests in the streets like across the bay. >> the key thing right now is ben farrow, opd veteran, he has a reform minded background. part of the inspect general's office, internal affairs background. remains to be seen. can he take the helms of the department at least on an interim basis and who is the next future lead center. >> is sfd looking for a chief? >> yes. >> they are going to be held accountable. >> absolutely. >> we will follow this story all day long and we will have more on "mornings on 2: the 9" after this. happening right now, muhammad ali's funeral procession is making its way through his hometown. louisville, kentucky. ali planned every detail of his funeral and memorial service. the pallbearers include mike tyson and lennox louis as well as will smith. his wife, children, and two of his ex-wifes and family members joined the motorcade. you can see the number of people lining the streets here. ali will be buried in a private graveside ceremony at the historic cave hills cemetery. the procession making its way through the streets there. then this afternoon there will be a public memorial service at an arena attended by more than 15,000 people. former president bill clinton and comedian billy crystal are among those who will deliver eulogies. the stanley cup finals are coming back after the sharks beat the penguins in pittsburgh last night. >> he scores! >> they took down the penguins 4-2 in game 5 last night. it was a wild first period. that brent burns goal was the first time the sharks scored first all series. before the first period was over, carlson found the net to give the sharks a 3-2 lead. the big story was the sharks goalie marty jones. the sharks were out shot by the penguins but jones stopped 44 of those shots. >> well, the pens are taking 46 shots. >> tilted, my friend. >> let's bring matt in here. matt, when treatments are down, they have to take it -- i know it sounds trite, but they have to take it one game at a time. it's a cliche, but that happens. >> . >> you play harder a lot of times. we saw that with the warriors against the cavs. the cavs played real hard in game three. the sharks were up against it last night. but martin jones was unbelievable. i mean, he was -- they were peppering him the entire second period. he made 17 saves. >> not just little gimmes here. >> first time a goalie in a stanley cup final has saved more than 40 shots in a post- season. the guy's been brilliant. and to a man, the sharks player are saying he is the best player in the series so far for them. >> a lot ask him to do it again and again. how do the sharks -- talking about tilting the ice, but tilt it back to level? >> yeah, so they are on the other side of the blue line in their territory. it seems like the whole game -- >> that's what it seemed like to me. i mean, they got to right martin jones as long as they can. you need a hot goaltender to advance. >> like baumgartner. >> exactly. the man. that was exciting. it stayed exciting for periods two and three. when you play most of the game down at one end, you are susceptible to certain opportunities. >> game 4 in cleveland, speaking of the warriors and cavs series, what do you expect from steph and klay tonight? >> i expect them to have big games. especially steph curry. you are hearing whispers now about how he hasn't played well the last two finals. he wasn't the mvp in last year's finals. it was andre igodala. he is struggling with turnovers a little bit. his shots are not falling. he is a two time mvp and i would expect him to have a big game. he is going to want to put his signature on tonight's game. >> real quick, do the warriors play better with a chip on their shoulder? after a game like this, will they have the chip on their shoulder? >> i think so. they lost two in a row one time all year to the thunder. they don't like losing more than one in a row. and i think we are going to see a vintage warriors performance tonight. i don't know if they will play great, but they are going to play hard. >> thanks. we will be right back with "mornings on 2: the 9" coming up. following new developments in the brock turner stanford sexual assault case. court documents released overnight showed the evidence that prosecutors claim contradicted turner's statement that the sexual assault happened partially as a result of his inexperience with the party culture of college. the documents include these photographs of turner who appears to be smoking marijuana. they were recovered by investigators from turner's home. they also discovered text messages of turner talking about drug use and drinking while he was still in high school back in ohio. >> prosecutor submitted these materials when they asked for a stiffer sentence saying the findings showed that turner lied about his drug and alcohol use. the judge, aaron persky, did not comment on the claims before issuing his now controversial six-month jail sentence for turner. prosecutors asked for a sixes- year prison sentence. this case is raising a lot of questions and concerns. in particular, if you have a high school or college-age child, how should you talk about this with them or prepare them for the party atmosphere? >> for more on that lets head over to partly cloudy. >> pam cook. >> thank you for talking to us about this because i have a middle schooler and a high schooler. i have two girls. you have a middle schooler. >> i do. >> and two middle schoolers. reading that letter, you know, where do we begin? what are the things we tell -- and i think it's different how you talk about this with your daughter versus how you talk about it with your son? >> that letter is so powerful. i think it's something all kids in high school should be reading and it definitely shows you have the right to speak up. you have the right to say no and share what happened to you. i think that we are really good in our society about talking to kids, and especially our girls, about saying no to sexual engagements that they don't want to engage in. but i think that sometimes where we're fall short is we are not a talking to our kids, and especially our sons, about forcing others into sexual engagements that they don't want to have. >> listening to that no? >> yes. and we have to have that information about consent. you know, it's one of the most crucial aspects. >> and you were bringing up a good point with me. it's not just having the conversation about a physical contact, but there is also social media and there is texting. realizing there is a no that needs to be heard? >> yes, you can't force someone to send a naked picture of themselves if they don't want to do it. also having conversations about oral sex, which is really uncomfortable with a teenager. but the research shows they are engauging in more oral sex. if you force someone into more oral sex they don't want to have, that's rape. >> reporter: tell you are kids about not forcing someone. it reminds me, we talked to our younger kids about bullying and then standing up also. so this is also something, don't just walk away from the party if you feel like someone might be in something that's uncomfortable for them. >> yes. it's important to teach our kids to speak up for others and be the voice of others. and the two graduate students at stanford who found the victim, i mean they are heroes. >> reporter: she is lucky. not everybody has somebody walk by. >> yes. >> reporter: what do you say specifically to a middle schooler when they are -- i know my kids are, i don't want to talk about that with you. >> first of all, you need to know it's going to be a quick conversation because kids really don't want to have these conversations. it's uncomfortable. and that's why this trial offers an opportunity, because there is a story there. having that formal sit-down about the birds and bees is uncomfortable and awkward for everyone. but here you have a story where you can weave that in through your discussion. also, kids don't like to have the discussion when they are looking you in the eye. do it while you are driving or while you are making dinner. even though it's a very serious topic, the discussion -- i mean, to be presented casually and very naturally. >> reporter: good idea. out on a walk with the dog or something. >> yeah. >> reporter: thank you for that. amy graph. a hard subject, but an important one to have. >> thank you, pam. coming up on "mornings on 2: the 9", sunday's escape alcatraz. we talk to the nephew of the two inmates whose story was told in that movie the escape from alcatraz. ♪ i ♪ shining through rs ♪ i see your true colors ♪ and that's why i love you ♪ so don't be afraid ♪ to let them show ♪ your true colors ♪ true colors ♪ true colors ♪ are beautiful san leandro police say a 14- year-old was held up at gunpoint and robbed of his new puppy this week. investigators released pictures of the german shepherd in hopes someone will recognize her. the teenager was walking maia monday night around 8:30. that's when officers say he was approached by two men in their 20s. one of them pulled out a gun and demanded the boy give them the three-month-old german shepherd. and then the suspects took off in a light colored vehicle. if you have seen that puppy, again you are asked to call san leandro police. well, colin kaepernick spoke to the media for the first time in the off-season and he says and he looked like he was pretty happy to be on the field. yesterday was the conclusion of the minicamp in santa clara. kaepernick has been rehabbing his shoulder after undergoing surgery. he says he feels good. he expects to be full go in training camp. he was up beat. reporters noticed a change in his attitude. >> reporter: we don't normally see this side of you. where is it coming from? >> from the soul. >> [ laughter ] i think chip's system is great for me. i think it's very similar to what i have done in college. more detailed and more complex, but i think it's something that i will be able to thrive in. >> kaepernick says he is excited about what's to come with the 49ers and new head coach chip kelly. when asked if his agents to dropped a trade request, he said he hasn't thought about that in a long time. he called that a business decision, saying they had been looking at different opportunities. it's freebie friday. a chance to win two tickets for the june 30th performance of carmen. go to our facebook page and click on the contest page to enter. you must be 18 years old and a legal california resident to enter. each prize has an approximate retail value of $500. two winners will be selected by random drawing on june 13th. you can see the official rules on our facebook page. arf is going mobile. alex savidge is in martinez where a new clinic is providing some free vet care. alex. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. tony la russa's animal rescue foundation have this new mobile clinic here so they can do exams on dogs and cats anywhere. they can move this van around. today they are set up here at the v.a. in martinez, and they are offering free pet exams to vets. and we have a number of vets who are here with their pets this morning all ready for those exams. i want to bring in bobby bartlett. you are the development director with arf. tell me the goal here today. what are you trying to do with this event today. >> we are honored to be here to support our veterans. it expands programs that we already have for veterans working to offer at this mobile clinic free exams, vaccines and microchipping to the pets of local veterans. it started at 9:30 today. it's first come, first serve. they will be here until 1:00 or until we will full. there will be additional clinics in martinez at the v.a. on july 8th and 22nd, and also june 24th. more information is at arflife.org. >> reporter: i want to bring in tara rip currents. you are with the v.a. we are outside the facility here. you have a number of veterans who brought their pets here today. you were talking about the importance for veterans of having healthy pets? >> right. >> reporter: what is that in your mind? >> exactly. we feel if we partner with arf they can help take care of our veterans pets and the pets will help take care of our veterans. animals, whether they are comfort animals, service animals or pets, provide so much comfort to our veterans. they ease their anxiety. they get them out of the house. they get them talking and socializing. we feel that's really important to the health and well being of the veterans. >> reporter: we will show you this mobile clinic that they have. this is brand new, by the way, you guys. i will hop up in here. we have an exam going on as we make our way inside here. i know we got to watch our step. it's sort of a tight squeeze. and as we bring you inside here, you can see some of the arf workers doing an exam right here. this is ace, who is getting checked out today. ace's owner is here, david. you are an army veteran, sir. thank you for your service, first of all. >> thank you. >> reporter: what do you think of this set-up? >> i found out about it last month and i said this is the greatest thing they have had for vets. they have a great service of being able to bring our dogs in here, you know. healthcare for vets is great. but healthcare for vets dogs, that's even better. >> reporter: how important is ace to you? >> ace is a therapy dog for me. he has been certified by the v.a. as a therapy dog. so it's important for me for him to be healthy. >> reporter: absolutely. david, army veteran getting his pet ace checked out here at arf's new mobile clinic. they can move this thing around here. pretty neat. today they are doing free exams for the pets of vets. neat deal here in martinez. back to you guys. >> alex savidge. thank you. well, on sunday the 36th annual escape from alcatraz triathlon is taking place. >> participating is kenneth widener, nephew of john and clarence england, whose 1962 attempted breakout of alcatraz inspired the movie escape from alcatraz. >> and kenneth joins us this morning. this story, the interest in this story seemingly never goes away. everyone wants to know, did they make it? they make movies about it. people want to talk about it all the time with you, right? >> i am asked that question all the time, did they make it? i can tell you 100% certainty they made it, and we can prove it. and in the show that we just got done doing with the history channel, alcatraz search for the truth. >> we have got it. from brazil? >> yes. >> what are we looking at? >> this is a photo that a friend of the family in 1975, when he was in brazil, took that photograph of them. some of the story, he kind of -- and you hear on the show, he normally played just a 15 seconds of a 45-minute video that we have of him telling the story. and there is a lot more to it than what's in the show itself. but him and my uncle both have met these boys. >> so tell us, because everybody asks, how did they make it? it must have been passed along in the family, right? >> in the show, we actually uncover or tell how they actually made it. they didn't swim. they did have a raft. and when they broke out of the cells and made it to the water, they went up under the dock and they tied on to the back of one of the boats. the boat actually pulled them around the island halfway to the mainland, is when they let go. that's when one of the friends who took this photograph was waiting for them in a boat. took them to his plane. he flew them into mexico. >> that raft that you are talking about was made of? >> main of raincoats. they got them from other prisoners on the island. >> the u.s. marshals aren't sold on your story? >> no, that's not true. [ laughter ] >> of course. >> marshall dike, he is the marshall that's currently actively working the case today. he will tell you it's very plausible that's exactly what happened. they have always believed that they made it, even though sometimes he, you know, won't say 100% sure. but, you know, as soon as this story came out, they were down in brazil looking. i know that for a fact. >> you think somebody would have seen that boat though. >> well, someone did see that boat. there was a police officer, which this is documented, he was at the marina that night, and he reported seeing a boat out in the middle of -- in between the mainland and the island, and it was just waiting there. then all of a sudden around that same timeframe it started up and left. >> this was 1962. this probably couldn't happen now with surveillance cameras and electronic gates. >> no. >> it's a tourist attraction, too [ laughter ] >> yeah. >> so there aren't any prisoners. >> exactly. >> let me ask you something because we have to won. you have never done a triathlon. when you are swimming across, are your uncles going to be in your mind? this is your motivation for doing it? >> correct. i am so thankful that the escape from alcatraz triathlon asked me to do this. i told them i have never done a triathlon. i have done a lot of races. i swam it this morning. i got through getting out of the water. it's doable. yes, they will be in the back of my mind, you know, and i will be going okay, so cool, 54 years to the date on sunday that they left and i am going to get to do the same escape. i am looking forward to it. >> you will be in a wetsuit? >> yes. if i get tired i will hook on to back of the boat. >> from atlanta, georgia, good luck. >> coming up next on mornings on 2 "the 9", bleach blanket babylon. we will talk with the winners next live here in studio about how they will use that money towards their dreams of making it big in theater. guess what? look at that young mike mibach. he is turning 40. in honor of his birthday, we are going to look at the first story he covered at ktvu as part of flashback friday. >> you guys are so sneaky. mystery beauty treatment. what made their skin more radiant? what?! wait! only dove has 1/4 moisturizing cream. smooth dewy skin. dove, your daily beauty treatment for radiant skin. first you start with this. then add this. and this face. wait, we can do better. yeah... that's the one. and fresh brewed lipton iced tea. a lipton meal is what you bring to it. and the bright refreshing taste of lipton iced tea.
