homicide just friday at bancroft and 45th avenue two men were shot one died, but despite recent calls to defund police. the reality is police spending has gone up not just in oakland, but across the country abc 7 news item reporter stephanie. sierra is digging through the data and her investigation is one you'll see only on seven staff. yes, i'mma and dan our analysis has found local spending on police has spiked in 90% of the cities and counties across the country since before the pandemic and out of all the police departments here in the bay area opd. so the largest increase in funding, but questions are being raised about how that money. is being spent. beautiful breathing in the wake of george floyd's murder widespread protests calling to defund the police swept the nation for years oakland city leaders made bold promises of big budget cuts safety in june of 2020 mayor libby schaaf said

the oakland police department would see the largest funding cut in the 2021 budget, but the reality is that never happened. data analyzed from the abc 7 news. i team found the budget actually increased by more than 11.4 million dollars that year. the whole problem is the focus on defunding. fast forward a year later. i think yesterday was very historic in june of 2021 oakland city council voted to cut nearly 20 million dollars from its police force to go towards programs aim to help prevent crime and address mental illness, but the headline at the time didn't reveal the full story while those cuts did happen the i-team found opd's budget still increased more than 5.7 million dollars in the following fiscal year to reflective about being tone deaf, right? we've had the longest on campaign here in oakland in the country. we've been saying for eight years now to take money out yet the money never really came out despite years of widespread calls to deep on the police abc

7's data analysis found opd's fiscal year budgets increased by nearly 18 percent from prepandemic to 2022 oakland city. councilmanuel gallo says, it's money that hasn't been spent wisely as the department face is a staffing police chief lauren armstrong. a department has 680 officers but his budgeted to have 726 the money send the budget gallo says instead of hiring more officers. the department grossly overspend on overtime. he says 5 to 10 million dollars was allotted for overtime pay in the last fiscal year budget yet 30 million dollars was spent as some offices were making $400,000 a year what i think is that the overtime has critically important when you're short staffed don't you think that money could have been better spent in terms of reallocating the funds to hiring more officers instead of spending it on overtime the reality is this look let's quit playing i tell the police to accept me with them weekly.

all right tomorrow we didn't get a straight answer, but guyo did say it is a police chief's responsibility to assign the officers to whatever service needs to be addressed yet records reviewed by the eye team show several key positions in the department were cut due to budget constraints. for example 48 officer positions that were assigned to the surge 911 response units to help reduce high wait times and lower overtime usage another four positions in the human resources division. that would have helped process things like hiring requests were also frozen both resources. that would have helped the department address these issues. we asked the chief why those units were cut the chief does not have the the cut positions those are all city council decisions, but councilman gayo says that's not true. the council does not cut positions only we only deal with the budget on a regular basis. that is up to the chief and the administrator after trying to clarify the chief later admitted some units had to be reduced so

we had to reduce several units and some of those units those 911 surge units that we had had to be cut as a result of those positions being frozen. is that true? that's not true. the 911s has always been a priority and and the council this council made many efforts to make sure they were fully staffed and and there they the police has to provide a monthly report to us on staffing. so, where's the disconnect here? the chief on one hand is saying he's been forced to cut these positions 68 of them and you're saying no we fully staff these units what happened? well, the money's there. i don't supervise the police chief politicians are good with words, aren't they? because the numbers speak for themselves for me. it's shows the quality of leadership within the police department. we're being asked to do a lot and some of it we happen to do on overtime. while opd's budget saw a sizable increase over the past few years

reform advocates. tell us the city's community response programs created to help respond to mental health calls are still struggling to get the funding to operate 24/7. for the i-team stephanie sierra abc 7 news steph. how does obd's budget increase compare to other bay area cities like maybe san jose san francisco. it's interesting. i'm a opd saw the largest increase nearly 18% as we reported since the pandemic, but san jose was close behind with 17.6% increase and san francisco on the other hand was not and we will explain why there was such a big gap there coming up tomorrow night. look forward to that. thank you stephanie very much. now if you want to reach the i-team go to abc 7 news.com slash item or call 1888-40. i team charges were filed today against the suspect and the kidnapping and murder of a family in merced jesus. salgado was arraigned on four counts of murder. the prosecutor is not seeking the death penalty. salgado did not enter a plea and

of ways a dreaded rite of passage for adults getting that colonoscopy. it starts at the age of 45 often but new data from a highly anticipated medical trial show some confusing results abc 7 news reporter leslie brinkley talked with medical experts about what this all means. in the medical community the colon cancer screening trial was supposed to be the gold standard following 80,000 people over 10 years some who got a colonoscopy and some who did not the results came out on sunday. they found that colonoscopies did not drastically reduce the odds of finding colon cancer as much as we thought many other studies have shown that getting

a colonoscopy could reduce your risk of dying of colon cancer by as much as 70% but this new study showed. it was only 20% we're not ready to say. no we're not going to do colonoscopy for colon cancer screening. it's just too much data out there to support the real benefit in colon cancer prevention from colonoscopy. we want to understand where this study fits in among all the other studies the latest trial only studied people in norway, sweden and poland diet and lifestyles are different in the us say doctors and could bring different results. we know that some people united states have a higher incidence of getting colon cancer such as black americans. there are also a lot of people out there who have a family history or who may be higher risk of any colon cancer. so this study by no means disregards colonoscopies colonoscopies started being recommended for people over 50 in the mid-1990s katie couric famously televised her colonoscopy after her husband died of cancer at age 42 the

rate of colon cancer in a younger population people about the age of 40 and up has been going up over the past 20 years, which is why the recommendation was changed recently for people to start getting colonoscopies at age 45. it's extremely important for anyone out there who has questions to talk with a healthy professional to talk with the gi doctor and not just listen to these headlines. i'm leslie brinkley abc 7 news pets can provide comfort care for people in the hospital, but they aren't always available or for some patients so some hospitals are introducing robotic pets abc 7 news reporter liam melendez explains how this new pilot program is turning skeptics into believers. you before you make any judgments we ask that you come with an open mind easy to take care of these cats because they don't need to be fed. they don't need to be go outside or anything like that. they just they just stay with

you inside all the time. yeah, zuckerberg san francisco general hospital now has 50 robotic cats and dogs for their patients on the acute care for elders unit. they cost between $120 and $150. the dogs are slightly more expensive nurse becky rono remembers giving one to an agitated patient. can we give our cat? and she it was like nice and day she really loved it. she's petting it talking to it. definitely helped reduce how agitation this patient named her robotic pet ruby and while we were there there was a sense of calmness because somehow the non-living brought comfort to the living whether a pet is living or it's a stuffed animal or doll as an example or it's this robotic pet. it really doesn't matter.

it's that opportunity to connect and feel connected and that's what many of these elderly patients need if they benefit the elderly they're great for children a columbia university study found that these robot companions lowered pain and anxiety in children who were hospitalized. he or she agrees? kim meredith is the ceo of the san francisco general hospital foundation since 2004 that foundation has raised 34 million dollars. thanks to the heart sculptures auction. that's how the robotic pet pilot program was funded. they look and sound so real that at times a few patients seemed to not realize the difference. we also had sometimes people think that they're actually are we're real cats that died and then we stuff them up. so it's like a taxidermy cat. so one of a patients that i hope that was a happy cat when it was alive.

that was the funny story bringing laughter through technology is in this case the best medicine. san francisco leanne melendez abc 7 news pretty life like a lot of ways. yeah. all right. let's turn to our weather as we kick off another week. yeah, sandy patel is here with the forecast san diego. yeah, dan and alma we're gonna take a look at live doppler 7 right now because we have some snow showers and showers and lightning strikes that have developed just south of the tahoe area as we take a look at the wider picture parts of southern california also seeing some precipitation. this is just in those areas here locally. we don't have it, but hopefully that changes in the coming months coming weeks live doppler 7 does show some fog near the coast high temperatures today primarily in the 50s to 80s. we do have a nice breeze coming off the ocean. it's not strong sfo 18 miles an hour. here's a lovely view from our san jose camera where the sun is out and a look at those

walk into cantina los majos, and it looks like a typical fine dining restaurant. there's a large selection of wines displayed on the walls, but these ones don't come from napa or sonoma or france or italy or spain? there from mexico that catches some customers by surprise. i had no idea that their maximized the value is spectacular. the restaurant is a dream come true for owner whoventino carrillo. he's owned a taqueria in san francisco's inner richmond, but he wanted a place to elevate the perception of mexican food. so with the help of his brother and other associates, he opened this restaurant a few blocks away from his taqueria. it's billed as the first exclusively mexican wine bar in the united states. we have a total 61 most of them. i'm from bailed valle de guadalupe is mexico's premier wine growing region. it's about a 90 minute drive south of the mexican border with

san diego lot of different soils weather patterns that are different than here than europe a lot of those same grapes are grown there so they react differently to that most of the wineries there have only been around for years or less that means they are not tied to tradition and that has led to more experimentation. you're getting a remix of some of these grapes. they want people traditionally know but you get a different version of them. would you say like the fruit like really bright like raspberries strawberries nice acidity 100% move address which like i'm used to that being from france. so it's really cool interesting to try it from a completely different region. so why aren't mexican wines more well-known many wineries only produce 50 to 100 cases of a particular wine, so they don't get exported. there's also some bias against mexican spirits that aren't tequila mezcal or beer some people have stereotypes, but the quality is there there's some

amazing amazing wine. that's just absolutely delicious people just need to try it without judging it ahead of time. reception is also something carrillo encountered with the food. you won't find tacos o burritos on the menu instead. there's lamb shank seasoned with a smoked pepper sauce or braised duck in a roasted pumpkin seed sauce mexican food is the sauce. so apparently with a wine is amazing. so if you want to compare the french compared with the reduces like italians is the tomato sauce cream sauce, but here we don't use any of those we use basically spices. it's food he grew up eating in mexico's yucatan region. i just want to share with everyone like this is what i'm used to eat like back home. this is the cuisine what i know leanne melendez abc 7 news so glad he's doing that really educating people. was feeding them. yeah. i love learning all about it. yeah. fantastic. i'm hungry. yes. well, you can check out special stories in honor of hispanic heritage month on our abc 7 bay

minnesota with more than 23,000 in prize money in his pocket. which alma will buy him a lot of fertilizer. keep growing those pumpkins. that thing is unbelievable. awesome. all right, we had perfect fall weather today for that. we do and a little more that is coming san diego tells updating the forecast. yeah, that was massive. no doubt about it, dan and alma. i want to show you a stunning sunset from our zephyr cove camera. yeah. this is just absolutely gorgeous sunshine for tahoe pretty much the next couple of days temperatures in the low 70s here in the bay area. we have an equally lovely shot from our east bay hills camera of the setting sun and the fog in the foreground here good air quality the next three days, so if you have outdoor plans, it's actually all green right now as we take a look at live doppler 7. we do have the fog near the coast and it will advance across the bay into some of our valleys tomorrow afternoon fog and clouds lingering at the coast. but in london around the bay sunshine you're looking at low 90s inland low 60s coast side.

look at the accuweather seven day forecast and after that morning fog and drizzle. we will see the sun away from the beaches cooler wednesday thursday and then temperatures bounce back just for a day before we see those temperatures slide over the weekend. you know, this is the time of year where you want to bring out the sweaters the coats the booths. it's kind of nice to be able to do that on landon. it is for sure seasonal. yeah. all right, chris alvarez is your sports. we need to know the latest on the warriors. yeah, there's a lot going on and one week from tomorrow. we have ring night who's gonna be there. we'll still wait and see one week from tomorrow as i mentioned dubs

don't mind me. i'm just the flu. i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications, like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but, i'm just the flu.” it's him! who? i'm just the flu! fight the flu with sanofi flu vaccines, which help prevent flu in older adults. they've even been shown to provide better protection from flu-related complications compared to standard dose flu shots.

don't get fluzone high-dose quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components, including egg products, or after previous dose of flu vaccine. don't get flublok quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components. tell your healthcare professional if you've had severe muscle weakness after a flu shot. people with weakened immune systems may have a lower vaccine response. this flu season, you do have a choice. choose the protection of a sanofi flu vaccine. ask your pharmacist or doctor which sanofi flu vaccine is right for you.

which sanofi flu vaccine chris alvarez so we are eight days away from ring night a week from around the nba championship celebration at chase center warriors getting set to host the lakers on opening night draymond

green remains away from the team. he is of course on indefinite leave jordan poole scored a game high 25 points in last night's preseason loss to lakers including an 18.3 quarter and watch this play. i mean jp's got the handles and just overall game floats it up and in lk at the bench react even they were impressed pool is yet to publicly speak about the incident with green from practice last week and today after practice head coach steve kerr speaking about both that incident and the video leak. the incident was a problem leak was a problem. i don't rank these things my job as a coach is to prepare us to play to make sure we can put the best team on the floor possible that job requires a ton of navigation and it's very tricky whenever adversity hit is 10 usually responds the right way and is the ultimate test for us and i think we're gonna be able to get through it. no jordan, he's gonna work and do what he's gonna do and draymond. he's a veteran he's been leader on his team for a reason and no,

he got some work to do to. to get that trust back from us, but i think he's willing to do it. so all right switching gears to football with the winning carolina the niners improved to three and two they're in first place all alone in the nfc west but suffered four more key injuries plenty of players putting blame on carolina's artificial turret defensive back jimmy ward broke his hand on the opening kickoff. he's gonna have surgery tomorrow nick bosley see their didn't play the second half with a groin injury his status for sunday in atlanta remains uncertain kicker robbie gold injured his knee making attack on this kickoff his status. also in question on sunday and the worst of them all really cornerback emanuel mosley tore his acl on this play effectively ending his season eman gonna be a free agent head coach kyle shanahan though wants him very much back around that before before the injury. so um, and i know i'm still stronger. so it was real sad unfortunate thing happens too, you know getting very missed this year

and really really hope that much as it's easy to say next man of it's not it's not like we're not thinking about those guys, you know, and known and missing them but you know, we're gonna find a way to get through it and continue to play at a high level. less than 24 hours after their loss to the niners the carolina panthers have fired head coach matt roll. he was one and four this season just 11 and 27 overall fired in the third season of a seven year 62 million dollar contract still owed at least 40 million dollars assistant. steve wilkes will be the interim head coach carolina plays the rams on sunday and back to the niners for a bit of a funny moment the injured robbie goldman. honor mitch wishnowski had to make the extra point tries. he only had made two attempts in his career first try. not really close and then meanwhile his second attempt. wasn't much better either it actually got tipped and knuckleball through but it did go through. so there you go. that's impressive and improving everyone got a good laughter afterwards. the night is gonna try some

kicker this week, which now skis from australia and when he made an extra point last season became the first austrian ever to score point in an nfl game and i kind of equivalate this to like say like right now or director got injured and go push the buttons guys right here kicking is not always kicking his kick it hunting and kicking it. that's funny. yeah. all right. thanks chris. all right coming up tonight on abc 78. it's the bachelor in paradise followed by the good doctor at 10 and do stay with us for abc 7 news at 11. but that is it for this edition of abc 7 news. thanks for joining us. i'm on a date and i'm dan ashley for sandy patel chris alvarez who we may have director. yes. the red one appreciate your time. have a great evening. we'll see it 11.
