dean is not heard identifying himself as police. police say jefferson was playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew. it is unclear based on police records if dean knew jefferson was armed. the shooting sparked widespread outrage and a speedy response from the fort worth, texas, police department. they promptly released the body cam video. dean quit and was charged with manslaughter two days after the shooting. he plead not guilty. >> how unusual is it for a police department to respond to a fatal police shooting like this? >> most of the time police departments will take their time investigating before they take action. >> reporter: george floyd, the black man killed by a white officer in 2020 was killed seven

required by the government to engage in these kinds of talks and pay these content providers for this information. >> that's why they're saying they would threaten to remove all news then from their platforms? >> reporter: right, exactly. they don't think it's the government's place to do this and, you know, there's big concerns from some civil society groups, even some that have opposed the tech companies in other ways that say this might make tech platforms host misinformation or other content they might not otherwise want to see on there. >> is it just meta opposing this or is it more broad? >> reporter: there's definitely lots of different civil society groups, trade groups that have spoken out, but i think meta is the one company to speak out on it. >> lauren finer, thanks. a new report finds nearly

half of all schools are operating without a full teacher staff. that's according to data released today. it's a problem that's a bigger impact -- is having a bigger impact on low income and minority students. the report also shows teachers are lacking the supplies they need like laptops, furniture and food services. eli rosenberg joins us now. eli, why are schools having a hard time staffing up? >> reporter: it's another sign of the effects of the pandemic. labor shortages have affected so many industries and teachers have been hard hit. some schools have gone to four-day weeks. some have lowered requirements to get teachers into the classroom, some without college

degrees. some have tried to shape state budgets to give raises. schools are having a really tough time. >> the supply shortage is partially because of funding. i can understand that. what else is out there? what other factors are feeding into this problem? >> reporter: it's one of those problems that has existed for years, but the pandemic made worse. teacher pay has not grown even close to the rate of others with degrees. something we cover at nbc, education has become highly politicized. discussion about civil rights, racism, gender, sexuality, even basic history has become political and heated. then there's the pandemic. people are exhausted by the cycle of openings, closures, debates about masking and all

these issues are haunting the education system clearly. >> perfect storm. eli, thank you. after the break, the simple steps you can take right now to combat loneliness. it's really simple. more "nbc news dailyafter more "nbc news dailyafter this" .

pandemic. loneliness is a big one, depression and anxiety. some people are over coming the feeling of isolation simply by helping others. it's the midday rush at gather 55. >> this place is very important for the community. >> reporter: a restaurant in hartford, connecticut, where it's pay what you can for a quality meal. those who can't are never turned away. instead they opt to volunteer their time. it's run by hands on hartford, a nonprofit that focuses on housing, health and food insecurity. it depends in part on outside volunteers like linda mason. >> the customers that come in here are lovely. >> reporter: mason was a special education teacher for 33 years. like so many others, she struggled with feelings of isolation during the pandemic. >> i was extremely lonely. i managed it. i was aware of it. >> reporter: when she retired, she knew she had to find something bigger than herself to be part of.

>> what's the emotion you feel coming here? >> when i come here, i feel purpose. when i leave, i feel happiness. i've helped in a small way. that's a really important human thing for all of us to be trying. >> reporter: the loss of human connection due to the pandemic has been felt far and wide. one survey found 36% of americans frequently felt lonely. the cure could be as simple as helping others. research showing volunteering can ease feels of loneliness and has a positive impact on mental health and physical health and lowering feelings of depression. >> when the pandemic hit, i was really isolated, shut off. >> reporter: in springfield, massachusetts, this woman volunteers with americorps mentoring kids in high school. she was a certified nursing assistant. when her license expired during the pandemic, she became a

stay-at-home mom and fell into what she called a sun ken place. she said going out to help others saved her. >> i feel like i'm giving back something when i felt like i couldn't give anything. >> reporter: experts say search for opportunities that have meaning to you, including in your own community. >> give it a try. it might pull you out of that place that you've been stuck in for so long. >> reporter: for linda mason, giving back has become a two-way street. >> every time you come here, what are you building? >> i'm building human connections. >> reporter: connections that pay it forward and back. >> it's not filling time. it's filling space, my heart space, giving me a purpose bigger than myself. >> food for your soul. >> totally. >> i talk to people who say i want to volunteer, i don't know how. >> some of the experts said, you don't have to start big. start small. maybe your neighbor needs help or go online.

there are a lot of organizations that bring together opportunities. go to pointsoflight.org. it's a nationwide one. you can put in your town and find all kinds of opportunities. take the first step. >> nice job. do you have a gen-zer in your life? >> two of them. >> what do you know about their hopes and dreams? >> instagram reveals the biggest issues facing this generation. we're taking a closer look at this. >> we're talking 10 to 25-year-olds. this was divided into ten categories. walk us through the highlights. >> reporter: some of the things that stood out to me was how much gen-zers care about politics. it's really important to them. we saw that in the last election

where maxwell frost was elected to congress. they said things like being sustainable is important to them. gen-z loves fast fashion, but they said in 2023 they want to be more sustainable. they want to have either up cycled clothing or clothing they make themselves and be more conscious of the way they're consuming things. another thing that stood out to me is the way that social media and instagram has allowed them to explore other cultures. i believe it was earlier this year, a dish from ghana became a huge trend and everybody wanted to try it. had social media not been there, maybe young people in the u.s. wouldn't have tried it. it has connected them globally to other cultures.

those are big points we can take away from the survey and get a sense of who gen-z is. >> those are positive things. i have a 17-year-old who shops only at thrift stores, reuse and recycle. how does gen-z differ from older generations? what are you seeing in terms of differences? >> reporter: the survey doesn't say we see the difference between gen-z and millions. gen-z is really politically engaged. some of these are young people too young to vote, but they're organizing. we see the people who are of the voting age turning out. in this last election some studies said it was the second highest turnout for young people in the last 30 years. these last two elections were really high turned out by young people. we see this reflected in this

report and this survey that gen-z really cares a lot about politics, about their future, about climate change, maybe more so than the generations before them. >> we appreciate you doing this via skype. we love when you're in the studio more. we live in this world where people are remote. after being remote for so long, how are gen-zers trying to reconnect in person? >> reporter: something that was really popular is one third of people surveyed are excited to get to meet with content creators in real life. that could be through experiences where they meet up, experiences where, you know, groups of people who have the same interests go to an event or attend concerts together. we see a lot of these coalescence of young people and they're uploaded to social

media. young people are excited to have face-to-face collaborations and interactions with people they see online. >> everybody is a content creator in that generation. creator in that generation. much (b mirirds chirpining) i missssed a lot o of things when i w was away.

a special election. this despite four hours of public comment where people were overwhelmingly in favor of letting the voters choose. one issue raised was the cost of a special election, which the santa clara county registrar of voters estimated could cost up to $11 million. another was the fact that it could take months to fill each seat by special election during which time that district would not have its own voice on the city council. so in a 7-4 vote, the council went against 28 years of precedent, upholding a special election for open seats and voted to choose the district 8 and 10 replacements themselves. just before the vote, outgoing mayor sam ligardo pointed out that council members might not understand what members want. >> how iron it is that this council would have the audacity to believe that they should appoint council members for these two districts.

despite the fact that they got it pretty wrong only a few weeks before. at least in the view of the majority of the electorate. so, yes, this is unprecedented. and i think it brings shame to our city. in other news, a story we're watching, san francisco leaders expected to make a final decision on whether robots can use deadly force. it's a controversy that got national headlines. supervisor's meeting starts around two. our sergio con tana is tracking the story and we'll have more in our afternoon newscast. we are getting a chance to dry out, but more rain is on the way. here's meteorologist kari hall with your extended forecast. >> well, we will see a mix of sun and clouds today. and still a slight chance of showers, but we are all dry heading into the day on wednesday. but it's just going to be chilly. we're starting out with frosty conditions and seeing highs reaching into the upper 50s. and cool weather on thursday, as the next round of rain moves in, mostly late in the evening. on friday, the showers will be off and on, but mostly cloudy.

and then going into the weekend, we have another round of rain that's going to be coming in that may last through monday, as our temperatures reach into the mid-50s inland. and for san francisco, expect more of the same. we are going to enjoy more outdoor time on wednesday, but we're back to the rainy weather for the end of the week into the weekend. >> thanks, kari.
