11:05 pm
today. said he is the only candidate who understands how to handle city resources and claims that he will focus on helping the city rather than playing politics. >> i'm really here for people of oakland, to solve problems for the people of oakland and come up with solutions to make the city better. i want to live in a city that's thriving. i want to live in a city that's safe. no matter who's the mayor or who i'm sitting next to, i hope our commitments are the same. >> armstrong was fired last year by the mayor who said she had lost confidence in him over how he handled an internal police investigation. but an independent arbitrator cleared armstrong of nil wrongdoing. so in february, he filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the city. the lawsuit is pending. staying in oakland, there's a growing problem of trash blocking a sidewalk in the fruitvale which neighbors say is causing dangerous conditions for the people living there. the area in question is on east 8th
11:06 pm
street between fruitvale and 34th avenues. neighbors say the trash, abandoned cars, and other debris are blocking the sidewalk. neighbors say they've called the city to clear the encampments, but no results. >> i'm beyond frustrated. i'm beyond disappointed. i'm beyond angry. it goes beyond atrocious. it's deliberate. how can the city not act? >> rodriguez says he hit the breaking point this week when security cameras captured someone vandalizing an abandoned car. another person using a rock to break the driver's side window. and a man walking around with what appears to be an ax. but some of the homeless we spoke to say they're not the only ones contributing to the situation. >> you're right, absolutely. kids need to walk by for their safety. it's not the homeless people bringing the trash, destroying these businesses, abandoning all these cars. >> councilman gallo met with rodriguez about his concerns. he says the city is working to clear the rvs on both east 8th
11:07 pm
and 9th streets but did not give a time frame of when that will happen. four years after his death, people in minnesota gathered today at what's now known as george floyd square. video of george floyd's brutal death, the result of police officer derek chauvin kneeling on his neck for nine minutes, sparked outrage across the country four years ago this summer. thousands took to the streets in the bay area calling for significant police reforms to protect the lives of black people, but what change have we actually seen over the last four years? after some called for defunding the police, san francisco's annual police budget has actually grown from $656 million a few years ago to over 785 million now. oakland did take several million away from police in 2020, but have since recovered and then some. we spoke to a professor of public policy at uc berkeley about the state of policing in the bay area. he said the most
11:08 pm
notable change over the last four years has been just filling positions that are open for police officers. >> a lot of them are pretty unhappy with the state of affairs. they feel like they are criticized and they are, you know, quick to be blamed for problems. departments are having a hard time recruiting people, recruiting new officers. >> despite the higher budget, san francisco's police department lost over 240 staff members. oakland's department also shrank, but not be as much. >> the professor says one of the most significant positive changes is the rise in alternative crisis programs. for example, community ambassadors in san francisco that walk the streets unarmed, training in deescalation techniques, and working with those suffering from a mental crisis. similar programs exist across the bay area like oakland's community response team and san mateo's mental health crisis program. glazer says more data is needed
11:09 pm
to measure their effectiveness, but those programs come with good intentions. >> actually police departments are clamoring for it too. because they don't want to be necessarily the first resort when someone is in a mental health crisis. it's a matter of scaling it up, really. >> as for police reform, san francisco's police commission has banned traffic stops for minor infractions that tend to disproportionately target people of color. a similar bill is in the works in sacramento to extend the ban statewide. and still ahead tonight at 11:00, how a group here in california is helping thousands of former military members cope with ptsd out on the waves. and after if break, it's the home of the famous coffee crunch cake. a san francisco business with a big following is celebrating a major milestone thanks to a baker's dream and his grandson. and it's going to be a lot of people in the mission tomorrow for the parade for carnaval. we're going the look

every single birthday, you get tired of it eventually. i don't think i've actually had it beyond just taste testing to make sure it's right. >> reporter: for him, the icing on the cake is making people happy. >> that's one of the things i enjoy the most is you give them the cake and they're like oh, i'm so excited. it's a big birthday party, we're so excited. or my grandma ate this when she was growing up. >> reporter: and so, with his grandfather on the sidelines, kenji keeps the family tradition alive celebrating five decades of growing a sweet spot for the sweet stop. >> if you want to see more stories highlighting the bay area's aapi communities, head to our website kpix.com. you can also watch our special show roots and resilience on our

youtube channel. and up in wine country, it's day two of bottlerock music festival. but it's not just for music lovers. plenty of food and wine to enjoy as well. tonight it was pearl jam, and tomorrow night ed sheeran will close out the festival. and now this is where the festival begins in the newscast. >> you're referring to the forecast? i do have a specific bottlerock forecast to talk about. tomorrow is the best day of the whole thing, and then monday is the best day of the three-day weekend. so i want to show you why i would say that. first a little review. look what happened to us today. if you were up this morning before 10:00 a.m., it was a total may gray out. everywhere we had the clouds. it was persistent. we got rain out of it. this was 9:00 this morning. the marine layer was on overdrive today. while it did hang on throughout the morning, watch it melt away. this is a replay of the high
11:17 pm
resolution satellite. so that is an accurate depiction using imagery from today. that's how it went. so what we'll do is look ahead to tomorrow. switching from a look back at satellite to a look ahead, and this is forecast imagery. let's come in for a close up look and see how it goes tomorrow. it's not anywhere near as intense. that's about as far as it's going. it's totally different. so tomorrow at 7:00 a.m., the most we'll see, the marine layer will fill in a bit of napa. you can see it filling in the contours of napa valley. bottlerock is right there. so it's a gray morning there, and it's a gray morning here. and of course that comes into play for carnaval. watch what happens by 10:00 a.m. it's all gone. more sunshine tomorrow than anything else. so there's that carnaval forecast we were looking at a moment ago. now you know you'll have blue sky. daytime highs will be a few degrees warmer tomorrow than they were today. 50s today. tomorrow the low 60s, but it's going to be windy in the afternoon. so classic pattern. watch the winds. we start out the mornings fairly quiet. but as we get into the early
11:18 pm
afternoon, the on shore wind picks back up. so even though it's sunny and low 60s, you'll have 20 to 25 miles per hour breeze and that will make it feel cooler. in other words, it's a classic may day. little cooler than average, sure, but it's, this is really, none of this is really out of the norm. look at the number for bottlerock. going up into the low and mid-70s there for daytime highs. but if you're not going to bottlerock and not going to carnaval, here's your forecast. that's tomorrow. pick out your part of the bay. watch what happens. just know monday is a little warmer than this. that's the day, tomorrow, where we warm up. monday will be about three or four degrees warmer if you're inland. less marine layer. best day of the three-day weekend. just from a warmer standpoint. and if you look at where we'll be on thursday, that's where we top out. the warmest day in the seven-day forecast. so in the seven-day you'll see the pattern is thursday and friday are the two warmest days on it, and then we'll cool down a little going into the weekend. so san francisco and oakland up first. mid-70s for oakland by thursday
11:19 pm
and friday. microclimate shows the north bay valleys go to the low 80s by thursday and friday. monday in the mid-70s. san jose mid-70s monday, mid-80s by friday. and the inland east bay shows up last in the mid to upper 70s monday and mid-80s by thursday. matt, over to you. all right, thanks darren. it was miller time at the oakland coliseum saturday. you know what that means for the opposing team. plus, the giants found their groove. playing from behind seems to
