brown, who was suspected of shoplifting just inside the walgreens store on market street. anthony told police he felt his life was in danger. >> the whole time we were wrestling, she was saying she was going to stab me. that is what really put the fear in my heart. ama: there's no evidence from anthony's statement that he acted in self-defense. she is encouraging everyone not to look exclusively at the video but consider all evidence. dan: supervisor says he is troubled by the video and once to review the evidence in the case. ama: joining us to discuss the d.a.'s announcement is phil matier a. what do you make of the decision not to charge? phil: the d.a. felt it did

not rise beyond a reasonable doubt. the guard said "i felt threatened. " he is not a police officer but a security guard. when a person feels threatened necessary to the point of violence, she said it was an open question and not clear to charge. it is a controversial decision, let's not get away from that, it is, and seeing the video will probably be controversial as well. no audio of the threat, no knife was found. we are looking at the famous videos we see all the time, but jenkins changed it a bit. she released everything she had, not just the video. i'm not sure it will change people's minds, but that is the way she was doing it. dan: let's talk about the video, the video of the body camera, video. do you think she gave into the pressure here? phil: i don't know that she

"gave into" the pressure so much as she reacted to it. she is a pretty tough person, district attorney brooke jenkins, but what happened was the clamor got louder and louder, and they got outside of san francisco, where she said it raised questions about the integrity of her office and the investigation. we had politicians making political statements, and she felt it was threatening the office, so she said ok, we are going to do it. the case is technically open. homicide does a statute of limitations but as farcalls a we've heard those calls before, antedate, they do not -- attorneys general, we heard those calls before, and to date, they have not done it. ama: there are people who look and say that shooting is justified. there are people who say that's not have happened. part of the reason she made that decision not to press charges was because that she was not confident a jury would actually convict. dan: right.

phil: yes, and she felt she had a moral obligation to the law and justice to at least go into the courtroom that it was beyon. some people say, it to the jury and let them decide. that could be any number of cases per you have to sit there and say if we are going to put somebody's life on trial, you have to be confident that you are there for that reason. you can get them to convict or you feel that it is in your mind beyond a reasonable doubt. to say i don't want to make the call, i will at the jury make the call, that is not your job. your dollars is to make that first call. it is a very important call. we will be hearing more. this is not about shoplifting. this was about getting into it with a security guard. i want to remind people it is very disturbing, very upsetting, it leads to questions about security guards, should they be armed? remember, a security guard has been shot by a shoplifter in the east bay a little while ago and killed, so this is a big debate.

what are you going to do about it? are you going to put security guards in and say don't do anything, do something -- dan: especially in a climate with so much crime. phil: did you see in that report is welcome of the district attorney mentioned that? she said one of the things you have to take into consideration is the atmosphere, and she said given that location and the history of events that have gone on there, did the security guard feel reasonably they could be threatened, she said yes. ama: highly charged topic. dan: totally. now that the video is out, more debate. thank you so much. ama: more community investors are trolling the streets of san francisco's mission district. the deployment of 16 additional ambassadors is part of the city's reach effort, part of a broader strategy to promote public safety, cleanliness, and street vending. they will join others that began patrolling the area last fall. dan: chp is looking for

history of crisis to a culture of stability and achieving quality for every student, family, and employee in our district. we have moved the needle significantly in that direction today. ama: the new deal brings an end to a strike that lasted more than a week. oea is also declaring victory with regard to the common good goals, saying the tentative agreement includes assistance for un-housed students, shared governance, and resources for black community schools. dan: in the north bay, a huge rate increase could be approved this week for water customers in marin county, but the water district is proposing raising water rates by about 20%. other parts of the bay area are considering smaller rate increases. abc 7 news reporter cornell barnard explains why it is happy now after this drought busting winter season. cornell: marin water customers may soon think twice about how often they turn on the one of the highest water rate increases in decades could be

adopted this week that could lead to a 20% hike for the average ratepayer. >> i think it is absolutely ludicrous. we are paying it off. everything is hot did in place and is high. the cost of everything is going up, and here we go with another bill. >> what is interesting as we had so much rain, and at this point, you would think that water rates would be going down, not up. >> first, it is a lot. cornell: the marin waterboard president admits it is reservoirs are full, but he says it is not enough when it comes to preparing century-old infrastructure and preparing for future droughts. monty: maren is going through a lot of instability with our water supply, so that requires efforts to stabilize and prepare for an uncertain future. cornell: in san francisco, the public utilities commission is set to vote on a roughly 8.3% yearly rate increase, causing -- costing the single family household and additional $12 each month on their water bill.

ama: today we learned the oakland a's planned to build a new stadium in las vegas have changed. dan: the team now says its new stadium will be on the las vegas strip. in a new agreement with bally's, which owns the property tropicana. this will be along with the stadium and t-mobile arena, where the golden nights nhl team plays. ama: abc 7 news sports anchor casey pratt joins us. get us up to speed. casey: yes, lots of moving parts, as you mentioned. the a's came to las vegas. 20 days later, they changed their minds and that we will build at the tropicana site. by the way, we are running out of time to get legislation passed. "by the way, we need your money right now!"

that is what is happening in las vegas. they do not get the legislation passed by the end of may, they will not get the $400 million they say they need to build the ballpark. here's where things get interesting, the a's have come to town with this new tropicana deal announced today, they are getting free land on the strip, but a's owner john fisher says he still needs almost $4 million -- $400 million in public funds. meanwhile in oakland, fans are upset, there's test, science, all things going on, but the -- protests, signs, all kinds of things going on, but they say -- >> they are supporting us, even though they are unhappy with this current situation from ownership. >> i don't feel it is directed at the players. no player has brought it to my attention that it is a distraction. casey: do you think the players union would pass -- pushed back again if they said the a's had to play two or three seasons in that park professionally?
