people close, you know, they gonna complain, you know, because sometimes we like to put music or have fun like that, you know or talk, you know when we talk loud, you know, julio told me he didn't expect to see the police that day and on the body cam video. he didn't appear all that concerned when officers daisy, missouri goes and brandon nail arrived nothing. there's like a whole bunch of beer over here. okay, i i wasn't worried because you know, i always trust in the collision, you know, i feel like we'll say with the collision but the exchange grew tense after maserie goes ask for julio's id and nail shouted. hey sit down. hey, you don't have to talk to me. well, yeah, i told you to sit down. julio explained in spanish and english that he had to stand to retrieve his wallet from his front pants pocket. i was trying to tell them, you know, you have to understand that i need to stand up, you know to get my id, you know, they just go over me, you know

they attacked me, you know just for that you. candid officer now forces julio to the ground over beer bottles punches him in the nose and pushes his face into the rough pavement julio suffered a concussion of broken nose, and and the shoulder injury that required surgery when they wasn't there in the ground, you know, i i and i thought i'm gonna die, you know because it's you know all their blood, you know, it's really scary. you know, they transported julio to the hospital for treatment and then to jail when his wife bailed him out at three in the morning julio was still coughing up blood. very unfaith what happened. for him and for us as a family. it's unfair and it's totally like we want nothing. it is incident report officer

the officers the officers have been on paid administrative leave for nine months paid all that time, really you had in the cost of this outside contractor who did the independent investigation and the cost of the taxpayer just keeps on adding up and the lawsuit now and who knows what comes out exactly right? thank you, dan. thanks. all right, if you have a story for the abc 7 news i-team i call this number on your screen one eight eight forty. i team or go to abc 7 news.com slash item. in san francisco police are investigating a shooting right now in the civic center area one person was shot about two hours ago at market street and van ness avenue near the entrance to the van ness muni station an ambulance took them to the hospital. there's no word on whether a suspect has been taken into custody the southeast entrance to that muni station is closed for the investigation, but the station itself is open and muni service is not affected. the former uc davis student accused of stabbing three people near campus was in court today 21 year old carlos dominguez

our team is there there's no call from the school board necessary to continue negotiations. it's been authorized. to add to the confusion the district says they made a salary offer to the union, but they never put it up for a vote and instead called a strike. the union says they never got such a proposal. well one sticking point in the negotiations is what's called common good proposals. what are those exactly abc 7 news reporter hunter hassan explains. these are issues that go beyond learning in the classroom. as hundreds take part in day two of the oakland teacher strike oakland school board member valerie bachelor says, she's getting hundreds of emails about one issue literally hundreds of emails. families educators and the community to give the district the authority to negotiate around common good demands common good proposals are often items that are not related to classroom curriculum such as green spaces on campus shared

governance or student homelessness. we are the biggest landowners here in the state in the city of oakland. and so we have a lot of properties. afford to r or redo in this example under common good the teachers union is asking the district to prioritize oakland's homeless students if there's gonna be housing there that it's affordable housing and that it potentially goes to our unhow students first the district may share those values, but won't negotiate them. there are items that are outside of the scope of contract of what we are required to negotiate. the school board has not authorized negotiators to go outside of that scope currently the sixth member school board is split on common good some are concerned about giving up too much power or being bound to projects. they can't afford bachelor argues. they can codify contract language and add staffing and funding contingencies to protect the district. all of those are all different ways. we can handle this but as a board, we have not been able to

give clear direction and directive to even have those conversations wilma serrano is the chief negotiator for the union. students money, but helpingd schools that have been historically neglected that is about directly investing in our schools and it includes things that are mandatory subjects of bargaining such as additional staffing and you think it's gonna come down down the common good. that is my feeling that is a sentiment that i'm hearing from folks on the line. that's a sentiment of folks that are not on the line, but calling me emailing me. it's really gonna come down to that in oakland. i'm successful abc 7 news the last time oakland teachers went on strike was in 2019 that strike lasted a week. we'll keep on top of this strike for as long as it takes obviously follow the latest on the abc 7 bay area app on your smartphone or wherever you stream. well our gray may theme is going to continue into the weekend it is it's going to rain on saturday abc 7 news meteorologist. sandy patel is looking ahead for

tomorrow the california state reparations task force will hold its second to last meeting. the group has been studying and developing a reparations proposals for black californians who can trace their heritage back to an enslaved person tomorrow. it's expected to vote on final proposals abc 7 news anchor and race and social justice reporter. julian glover has a look at the work of the task force to date. more than two years after ab-3121 was signed into law by governor gavin newsom california's first in the nation's state reparations task force is nearing the end of its work and finally answering the question of what reparations could look like. so it's very work intensive. it's very fast track. i would say we're in the thick of the most challenging aspect of the work right now camilla moore is the chair of the task force that has a two-fold mission first study slavery and

its lingering negative effects on african-americans and second to develop proposals for remedies for the atrocities of that harm through policy changes and potentially cash payments those recommendations drafted at these public forums that travel the state. we sat down with several members of the nine-person task force to get a better understanding of the recommendations that will be voted on this weekend and deliver to lawmakers in july, but first, let's start with why reparations why now? you hear lots of folks. say well, california, into the union as a free state. why should california? why should californiaans be on the hook for reparations? so the idea that california has a role to play in this is is actually very straightforward. and so when we think about lingering effects we are thinking about things that are jim crow racism. we're thinking of about the use of eminent domain in the

dismantling of african-american communities in many ways to facilitate the development of the state the kind of of principles that were first enacted during slavery found themselves showing up in various ways soon thereafter and have in many ways continue to impact the lives and opportunities for african americans in the state of california the task force focused on these lingering effects of slavery in its 500 page interim report released last summer the report details 12 areas to be addressed from the unjust legal system to housing discrimination separate and unequal education to racism in the environment and infrastructure of the dozen harms identified the task force highlights policy changes towards seven areas and a combination of policy and cash payments towards the other five dr. jovan scott lewis oversaw the team of economists who have the tough task of crunching the numbers based on hard evidence. we are not giving people money. we are returning monies taken

returning monies stolen returning. right the moneys that had been lost based upon the kinds of this possession of disenfranchisement the findings a black californian at least 71 years old that can trace their lineage back to an enslaved person could receive up to 1.2 million dollars in cash payments if the recommendations are voted into law by the legislature that's 966,000 for health harms 159,000 for mass incarceration in over policing in up to $8,000 for housing discrimination the work of the task force was not to conduct a feasibility study. there's no mention of how these payments would be funded. it's important to note none of this comes to pass unless the state legislature agrees to adopt all or some of the group's recommendations. how feasible is it how likely is it that the recommendations that you all put forward to the state legislature will actually come to be no. we don't want our interim report

or our final report to collect deaths on the show as the work of the task force years completion don tamaki, the only non black member of the group says it'll take californians of all walks of life to see reparations happen, you know, certainly it's a matter of justice. it's a morality issue and you know, because i'm japanese american and we know something about being incarcerated losing our property. i think we have a duty basically to speak out for the countless black californians who've traveled the state closely watching the task. force's work. they say the time to act is now my great-grandfather was a sharecropper. who had 17 children and worked from sunup to sundown and died with absolutely nothing. a took his land and created laws to keep his land. what do you think? he would say about you being here today? making sure your voices heard

carrying on his legacy. oh. i would hope that he would be proud and know that i stand on his shoulders. and there are no better shoulders to stand on saturday's meeting will take place at mills college in oakland. i'm told the final meeting of the task force will happen next month at the state capitol with that landmark final report expected to be released to the public and state legislators soon after julian glover abc 7 news. all right, the weather will change of maybe not today. maybe not even much tomorrow or something. that was here sandy, you know you both can relate to this since you have kids. it's sort of like people are just asking are we there yet. are we there yet? are we there yet? yeah the showers, you know when you're on a road trip and your kids do that to you. we're almost there. all right. we've got a few more opportunities for wet weather and we do need to take it while we can because as you know, it

definitely delays the start of our fire season, which we know will be here before you know it and it's obviously now becoming no fire season clearer demarcation. so pretty much year-round, but when you have a lot more moisture in your fuels that helps out. so let's talk about that moisture on live doppler 7 around highway 29 napa heading into yountville the wine country dry creek road. we are seeing some showers right now. the showers have crossed over from the peninsula around redwood city, palo alto east palo alto, middlefield road into hayward. you will notice 880. this is going to be a little bit dicey going across the bay bridge into oakland alameda where we are seeing some light to moderate rain. why didn't the picture here the low is just off the northern california coast. it has enough energy that as it crosses and moves in a little bit to our north. it'll drag the rest of that moisture through which means we're going to keep that wet weather going for the first part

>> now, abc 7 sports with larry beil. larry: good evening. in game 2 of the playoffs, the warriors did what they almost always do when they are staring at a potentially desperate situation, they play their hardest, they play their best. two michael grimm did not even play in four of the seven games against the kings in round one, he scored 15 points. steph curry became the distributor, had 12 assists in this game. the big beneficiary was klay thompson, went for 30 points in the 127-100 win.

how about a great look at the warriors behind the scenes in game 2? >> but get there first, baby. one, 2, 3! [cheers and >> hey! i love the flow of the game, all right? the flow looks great. keep playing and deep rebounding and taking control of the ball, and let it happen, all right? let it happen. don't be in a rush to create some big lead. that is not how it works. possession by possession, let's keep it going over and over again. >> all we can do is win one, now we take it on the road, like we always take. looking forward to it. let's go. . >> the big win, they came here and got one, and we got to make sure we go there and take care of business. >> i'm really happy with how we respond as a team, but i'm not satisfied. we just evened it up. got to go to l.a., hopefully to

the same thing, and enjoy this moment. larry: great stuff, courtesy of nba entertainment. klay thompson recorded his sixth nba playoff game i hto. now klay returns to l.a., where he grows up. -- he grew up. he talks about his love for the ocean, so a dive into the pacific in socal may be happening. klay: if we go down to manhattan beach or something and jump in by the pier, there's something about just getting in the pacific ocean and body surfing that just resets your whole ment al and your spiritual being. i'm a true believer in the powers of the ocean and all her healing properties. larry: divane in, klay. ever since the a's announced their intention of moving to las vegas, there's been a drumbeat of fans, politicians, media, players now experiencing --

expressing serious concerns about owner john fisher who continues to run a team that he is basically destroyed, run it into the ground. the latest comes from chris bassitt, one of many talented a's players traded away because fisher does not want to spend money. bassitt remembers right on the brink of contention, the players just in disbelief that the owner had no interest in acquiring more talent. >> he decided to blow it up. that has always been a touchy subject i think with all of us, but more so, like, we know how much money is made in this game. we just know it. i just think if you are not in the game to try to win a world series, then i don't think you should be an owner. larry: then why own a team? just a billionaire's toy? is that what is going on here? it is really interesting that, in vegas, they are starting to look at this from afar and go,

"whoa, do we really want this? we want this owner in our town? why?" we will see if major league baseball listens. the thing is really starting to tell, but we will see, vegas, they want a team. dan: reality is setting in. larry: we will see how it plays out. the track record of john fisher is very clear, it is not very appealing. dan: thank you. ama: coming up tonight on abc 7, at 8:00, it is "shark tank," followed at 9:00 bite "20/20." really matters. 38 months after it began commit is officially over. as we reported here tonight, the world health organization has declared the covid-19 global health emergency finished, next week, the cdc public of emergency in this country will also expire. that does not mean coronavirus has gone away. in fact, the w.h.o. reports that

covid still claims one live every three minutes, but it does mean the way the virus is monitored and tracked is changing. hospitals and wastewater not testing. as one health official put it, they will still be able to see that it is snowing, just not every snowflake. while most people have already put covid in their rearview mirror, frankly, this official milestone is reassuring news. it has been a long, costly three years. we have learned a lot about ourselves, about the ability of scientists to produce vaccines more rapidly than ever before, and perhaps what really matters, we have learned about the risk. it has happened before, and it will happen again. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook at dan ashley abc 7. ama: that is a for this edition of abc 7 news. thank you so much for joining us. i'm ama daetz. dan: and i'm dan ashley. for sandhya patel, larry beil, thanks for joining us, and have a great evening.
