11:06 pm
letter from the police union is a distraction. >> stop with the infighting. there is no reason for that. my door is open to anybody who wants to have a conversation with me. and at the end of the day, what this is going to cause is more instability that we in the city of oakland cannot afford. >> oakland is currently dealing with a $177 million deficit. mayor tao says she's focused on preventing severe cuts to police staffing while avoiding layoffs of any city workers. >> and in san francisco, police are calling it a game changer for fighting crime. new drones deployed by officers are leading to arrests, and sfpd is looking to expand, but others are expressing concerns. this spring, voters gave police the power to use surveillance cameras and drones to pursue suspects. police say they've now made three arrests with the help of drones, and the video is now part of prosecutors cases. >> we have a sense of urgency to make this a safe city and to do the things that the people in this city deserve. >> right now, the department only sends out a drone if it
11:07 pm
hears of a possible crime in progress, but it plans to start using drones proactively in parts of the city with higher crime concerns. all of it is alarming to the electronic frontier foundation, which advocates for digital privacy rights, is disturbing. >> that sfpd hasn't publicly released its policy related to the drones. there is currently a california state law, ab 481, that is meant to dictate transparency. >> chief scott says sfpd is in compliance with state law. he says the department is only storing video of crimes and deleting all other video within 30 days for an up close look at public safety in your neighborhood, turn to our abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. it gives you a detailed look at real time data so you can get the full perspective of trends and crime history for san francisco, oakland, and san jose. go to the front page of our website abc7 news .com. >> all right, let's turn things over to the weather for a few moments. it's a cool outside now

11:09 pm
than a minute later. at least 25 more aftershocks have hit since the epicenter is just north of the grapevine on i-5. a reporter with our sister station in los angeles shared video of the classic light swinging as the earthquake hit. you see it there. first responders in la and in other parts of southern california have not reported any major damage, but it got everyone's attention. >> yeah, all right, now to your voice and your vote and the widespread reaction tonight to vice president harris's running mate, minnesota governor tim walz. >> yes, the attacks are already coming from former president trump and his running mate, senator jd vance, and they're zeroing in on san francisco. >> kamala harris is running as a san francisco liberal. she is governed as a san francisco liberal. and she's chosen a running mate who will be a san francisco style liberal. >> that was vance at an event in philadelphia tonight, the same city where harris and walz made their first appearance together. >> abc7 news reporter j.r stone has more on the conversation tonight. jr ama minnesota is
11:10 pm
1500 miles away from us here in california, but once tim walz was named as harris's running mate, the policy comparisons between minnesota and harris's home state of california started pouring in. >> and now. welcome the next vice president of the united states, tim walz. vice president kamala harris formally introducing minnesota governor tim walz as her running mate. walz wasting no time hyping up harris with references back to her days as san francisco district attorney and california attorney general. >> she took on the predators. she took on the fraudsters, she took down the transnational gangs. she stood up against powerful corporate interests, and she never hesitated to reach across the aisle if it meant improving people's lives. >> as to harris choosing walz, here's former bay area congresswoman jackie speier, who
11:11 pm
worked with him in washington, d.c. he brings some midwestern charm, and i know midwestern charm because i'm married to one, and they are plain speaking, uh- modest. and while walz has spent the last 30 years in minnesota, he didn't hold back about his love for california and specifically san francisco. in a recent new york times podcast. >> last week was my first time in san francisco, and stayed down there. i was doing some meetings, woke up, did my five mile run through the presidio to the golden gate, went back to my hotel, was downtown and then up leaving. and i'm like, that is the most beautiful city i've ever been in. san francisco mayor london breed chiming in on that too. >> and i think it's really exciting that someone like him would talk about his own personal experience in that way and really bring attention to the realities of san francisco. >> he's going to be labeled as a california progressive in
11:12 pm
midwestern clothes, and he is. i mean, minnesota is basically the california of the midwest. it's very progressive, a recreational marijuana choice codified within the state laws. but while there were plenty of smiles here, tuesday, walz did end his speech by going after donald trump and his running mate j.d. vance. >> like all regular people i grew up with in the heartland, j.d. studied at yale, had his career funded by silicon valley billionaires, and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community. come on. >> now, when it comes to the negative publicity on walls today, there were specifically two things named by his critics. first, minnesota's response to the pandemic, which shut down businesses for some time. secondly, walz's response to the george floyd protests some, including state republicans, felt like he should have called in the national guard sooner. as for kamala harris, she is slated for a fundraiser here in san

11:17 pm
county supervisor david canepa is concerned about this expansion. he's pushed for more local control over where self-driving cars can go. canepa told us that his office only found out about the peninsula service yesterday, and he believes local government and first responders should have had more notice. >> let's not become the wild, wild west of autonomous vehicles where we have all these uh- autonomous vehicles and different companies and we really can't manage the roadway. it's not fair and it's not safe for the public. >> waymo's are not allowed on highways yet, so you won't see any zipping down 101 or 280, just surface streets. they're not allowed at sfo either. >> there might be some menu changes coming to school cafeterias in california. state legislators have proposed a bill to ban artificial food dyes they say are harmful to children. those dyes are used in things like soda, chips, candies and baked goods, experts say. research has linked the chemicals to behavioral and

11:29 pm
of options. the unhappy 40 niners receiver has been given permission to shop around for a trade, but espn reports the patriots are now out of the running. so that leaves the browns and steelers as far as teams that we know about who have interest, will brandon aiyuk get $30 million a year? and just as important, what would the niners get back. they need to get a receiver back in the deal. as you listen to the soundbites pay close attention to christian mccaffrey. friends a great player. >> so it's real hard to, to be better when you lose a great player, it's brutal, >> especially when you're here and you have that extra pressure on you. i've talked to him a few times just as a friend, but when it comes to what's actually going on behind closed doors, i
11:30 pm
have no knowledge or input. >> obviously, as a as a former teammate or, you know, teammate of his in general, any teammate that you have, you love, you respect them. you want the best for them. >> did i hear christian say former teammate freudian slip i guess. as for mccaffrey, he has a strained calf, could miss a couple of weeks of practice. he's not going to play in any of the 40 niners preseason games. they want him fresh for the season. all right. on a baseball giants visiting the nationals. all souvenir for little sparky there. giants jump on the nats in the first michael conforto we have lift off three run homer. his 12th. giants up four. nothing but hayden birdsong really did not have it. the game turns right there. second inning c.j. abrams swings at a fastbal. it's like an eye level, cranks a three run homer, turns the game around, put the nationals up five four, and they never look back. jumping around and they beat the giants 11 five. white sox and a's battle. the worst two teams in the american league is john fisher wearing one of those paper bags? he should be. white sox have lost 21 straight
