bergeron breonna taylor did not die in a vacuum. >> calls for justice for black women everywhere. good afternoon. thanks for joining us. >> there have been protests all over the country after a kentucky grand jury decided not to charge the police officers directly in breonna taylor's death. today the fallout continued in the bay area. in oakland, a group of black women gathered to express their outrage and calls for change. >> i have no more tears. i can't feel any deeper than what i'm feeling right now. >> one day after a louisville grand jury decided not to charge officers in the death of breonna taylor, black women stood shoulder to shoulder in downtown oakland to proclaim their own outrage. >> we've come together to say

enough is enough is enough is enough. so i want to be really clear that what happened to breonna taylor was part and parcel and pattern of the war that is waging in our lives and we've got to start talking about it. >> reporter: for these women, what happened to taylor is extremely personal and staying silent is not an option. i won't tell you our lives matter. you know our lives matter. so what we need to garner is the power to demonstrate that our lives matter. >> this gathering came after hundreds of people marched through down oakland hours after the grand jury announcement in kentucky. so far in oakland, the protests around the breonna taylor decision have been entirely peaceful. wednesday night, police say there were no arrests and no reports of damage. some demonstrators did walk on

to interstate 980 for a time. protesters and car caravans vowed to take their message to bay area bridges and even airports. >> it's a time to provide safe places and safe spaces for the freedom of speech. for the freedom of movement. >> oakland police advise residents to subscribe to alerts to get the latest on potential impacts from ongoing demonstrations. laura anthony, abc7 news. >> breonna taylor was killed in her home on a no knocks entrance. thanks for coming on virtually. it sounds self-explanatory. what is the traditional rationale support go the use by law enforcement? >> so there is an old common law

rule. when police arrive, thou announce their presence. they have to say police and wait a reasonable time to open the door. and there are very good reasons for the knock and announce rule. it gives the people a chance to collect themselves before the police come in. it can prevent serious violence, tragedies lying the one that happened to breonna taylor and it guarantees the police can do their job without violence that's not necessary. nonetheless the supreme court decide ad case called hudson version michigan in 2006. they said if the police execute a warn and they don't knock and announce, the evidence doesn't get suppressed. so there is no penalty on the part of the police if they don't comply with a knock and announce rule. it makes a lot of sense. nonetheless, police can request that the judges put in a warn and note that they don't have to

knock and announce. they're except from that out of fear the person inside might surprise them or might make the evidence disappear or something like that. i think that we're now seeing the chickens of. decision come home to roost. and i think in many ways, it is the indictment of the entire profession. >> the fear of drugs, i think that was the reason. why it is called breonna's law. how many states still use them? >> so no knock warrants are not necessary. the police can enter even if they dome have a no knock warrant if the circumstances merit it from the supreme court's perspective. i think they ask judges to do it for the most part because they want to make sure they're covered if there are consequences later. >> how would that play out in california

california? >> so like the other states, we subscribe to the document that says police have the discretion not to knock if the circumstances require them to surprise the person inside. this is often not a wise way to go about it. >> so no additional requirements as we often have in california like a higher threshold or standard? >> unless the supreme court reverses had you had son versus michigan, it says there will be consequences that evidence will be suppressed, he with probably won't see real deterrence in how police do their jobs. >> the make-up of the court is shifting right now. so what you're talking about, we'll seeful there seems to be a strong tide against no knock. whether that will play out on that level, hard to say. thank you form insight. larry? >> thank you. downtown san jose, crews cleaned up a statue after some protesters covered it with graffiti and they seat fire overnight. the statue depicts thomas

raising the flag. california was still part of mexico temperature. opponents of the statue unaffiliated with any of the vandalism, they want it removed saying it is a symbol of oppression. >> when i pass by it, it feels like slam in the face to the progress we've made. to all the struggles we've had. >> mayor sam liccardo says it is time for city residents and leaders to come one a plan and he's started talking to historians. >> what we need to do rather than burn, we need to learn. part of that may be facing some ugly truths about our history. >> there was also controversy when the statue was commissioned in 1988. the city decided to install four other statues to show more perspectives of city history. two new murals are close to being unveiled in san francisco's union square. one depicts victims police violence in the bay area as

you are looking at a tribute to those who have died from covid-19. each flag represents ten american lives lost to the virus. london breed participated in a virtual event with ucsf doctors about how the city has managed covid-19. the mayor addressed the fact that some communities have been hit harder than others. >> we're seeing the majority of the subsidies and the money that we issued, including her private philanthropy through give to sf. we've seen that mostly to go support the latino community but we still see the disparity. we're announcing a major investment in helping increase

testing significantly, to increase our contact tracing efforts, to provide additional resources for food security. >> and the mayor just released details on that investment in the last 15 minutes. san francisco is launching $it was.5 million in support for latino residents. the funning will g toward health, housing, food and family support, and small businesses. so how are we doing overall when it comes to covid-19 in california? joining me now, special correspondent dr. patel. how do you think california fares overall? >> i think overall, california is in a good place. there is a good trajectory. people need to understand that california is made up of so many different parts. so it's easier to look at separate counties to try to understand what's happening with local outbreaks, where the different counties are sitting with respect to the risks, the case positivity, et cetera. but overall, our state

positivity rate, our death rate, new infection rate, all of it seems to be in a good stable place. we just have to keep it there. >> so our numbers are holding up. other states, their numbers are going up. what are we doing right? what are they doing wrong? >> i think one of the most important things that california has been doing great is obviously, it is frustrating. the lockdowns, and that happened, material spikes, but think about it like this. in san francisco, he with haven't seen in the bay area, in california, we haven't seen as many of the anti-mask rallies or people saying that covid-19 is a hoax. we've seen it is a very evidence driven state. and there's been a lot of transparency from our state leadership about why certain orders are enacted. so even if people are frustrated, they at least understand it in their county. and there is no question about what the positivity rates are.

we've had great testing options and contact tracing is important in making sure somewhere around you, someone is covid-19 positive. you have to watch your symptoms. so we've done relatively well compared to other states. >> specially as we head into cooler weather, fall and winter. ho concerned are you about a second wave? right now europe is getting hit and hard in some countries. >> absolutely. and i think every single person in health care, in the public health space, is concerned about a second wave. it is a total possibility. we've seen it with previous outbreaks. you think about the fact we don't actually know what natural immunity looks like. we don't have that many who have been exposed to it. then you start opening schools and businesses. there's a potential outbreak for schools and businesses. and end this you think about winter itself. we don't know how the virus will act in colder, drier air and

people will be less likely to spend time outdoors. we had outbreaks after memorial day, fourth of july, we have halloween, thanksgiving coming up. so there are a lot more chances for people to be indoors, family gatherings and outbreaks. so winter will be a very telling season. >> when we spoke back this march, you said you thought it would be a year before we got through all of this. and i almost fell over when you said a year because we didn't know what we were dealing with at that point. does that still sound right to you? >> i remember that day clearly. you screamed. a year? i still think, i'm echoing sentiments from across the country, i think we're in it through winter and realistically we may not have a vaccine available widespread for people until mid summer. and even when we get a vaccine available. even if it is sooner than that. it will take time for that to

have an effect within the community. you have to give people one or two shots, you have to see the effects of herd immunity. so we could be like this for possibly another year. people just need to be prepared. i would tell parents, prepare for an entire academic school year, with distance or hybrid learning. we have an entire winter season to get through. so those fashionable masks everybody is wearing, we'll get used to them. >> whether you like them or not. >> thank you, sir. >> all right. hunkering down. google has a new map feature. it is a color coded system that shows you the density of cases in any given area. it tells if you cases are trending up or down. google has critical information to tell you where to go and what to do while still staying safe. it is getting the data from multiple sources including john hopkins, "the new york times,"
