4:31 am
looks like a fantastic day. i mean, the weather yesterday was perfect. today probably a little better as we are going to see more sunshine. starting out chilly in spots again. 37 in the napa valley, 41 santa rosa, clear skies just about everywhere you go. we'll have a complete look at your weekend forecast in a moment. right now let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. everything looks quiet heading into san francisco on the bay bridge. critical mass tonight. more coming up. >> happy friday. the weekend is here. 4:31. shifting in a damage control that's what the mayor of oakland attempts but fails. the tents are back. she is waiting for the occupiers to call her. kristy seifkin in oakland with what protestors are planning next. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, mayor jean quan still has
4:32 am
not spoken face to face to protestors. she had planned to come to the general assembly meeting that was going to be held inside the "occupy" camp. but she was told that she would have to come as a community member so she decided not to attend and instead held a press conference on her own. it was at that press conference that she was joined by the new chief of police. at that press conference, both turned down the opportunity earlier to attend the meeting. jordan said he thought he wouldn't be welcomed there. during the conference she apologized for tuesday night's events and that was of course when police raided the plaza and used tear gas multiple times in addition to using rubber bullets. she also laid down the law for what she expects from protestors who stay in the plaza. quan made a statement, a written statement, that included these four points. these requests. the first is she said, we need to have direct communication between city staff and "occupy oakland" representatives. second, we need to maintain health and safety conditions wherever you gather. third, we need to you allow our safety employees to have access
4:33 am
when there is an emergency. and then fourth, we are asking that you not camp overnight. >> oakland is known for being a progressive city. uhm....... i'm really saddened by, uhm, what people think we are. we are clearly a city that has a lot of homeless and unemployed people, one of the highest rates of foreclosure in california. >> obviously, at this point her fourth request isn't being met. we do see campers out here back in the plaza this morning. it remains to be seen if they will comply with the other three requests. quan didn't want to say much beyond what she listed in the four bullet points. or reporter robert lyles attempted to speak with her and ask her questions after the press conference. he asked to speak with her at the car. she kept her car windows rolled up and just drove away. still fingers being pointed at mayor quan. a lot of questions about how she will continue to collaborate with the protestors and also how she will continue
4:34 am
to work with police. chief jordan was given mixed messages in the week, first told to raid the plaza, then told to allow the protesters to return. it's been all of the drama that's happened in the past week that's garnered a lot of national attention and in fact, the "occupy" protestors expect to have a very special visitor later this afternoon, documentary filmmaker michael moore tweeting earlier yesterday that he understands the frustration of the protestors and expects to join them later on today. back to you. >> hey, kristy, you have been covering this for a few days now. what is the sense do you get from protestors with the mayor kind of going back and forth and now kind of being in the middle of what they can do, how long they can stay at frank ogawa plaza? >> reporter: it seemed they are open to the communication yesterday. earlier they wanted quan and jordan to come just as members of the community not as city officials. there is still that desire to have a dialogue. the focus right now though
4:35 am
really seems to be pretty peaceful. it's quiet this morning. just over my shoulder there is a vigil that's been set up for the iraqi war veteran hit in the head with what supposedly something that the police fired during that raid or when they fired the tear gas so i think the desire is still there for the communication but certainly questioning the mayor's decisions since she hasn't spoken to them face to face yet. >> thank you, kristy. speaking of that iraq war veteran, mayor quan visited him after he was critically injured at the protest. she shook his hand and told 24- year-old scott olsen about what happened to him. a vigil was held from him at "occupy oakland" last night. he suffered a skull fracture when hilt by a tear gas canister or some projectile. he is now listed in fair condition. >> he actually can communicate, make signs, write. he clearly understands what we're saying but is still having trouble articulating
4:36 am
words. i anticipate that that will improve. >> it's not just in oakland there. were vigils for olsen last night at other occupy catches across the cubry. and "anonymous" has posted a get well video for olsen. it is 4:36. right now, the "occupy" camp here in san francisco is still crowded with concerns about a possible police raid now on hold. officers were standing by on wednesday night but by early yesterday morning, it was clear a raid would not happen. san francisco authorities said a raid was not planned but officers were on standby in case there was trouble from a rumored merge with the oakland group. >> again, i think that it's not a monolith we're dealing with. i think people did have the experience of what happened in oakland. >> san francisco mayor ed lee would not rule out a future police raid if the continued camping presents a danger to public health and safety. a majority of people in san francisco think police have maintained control of the
4:37 am
protest. that's according to a cbs 5 poll. less than a quarter believe police have lost control. when asked about the police department's use of force, nearly half told surveyusa it has been at an appropriate level. the rest were divided evenly between not forceful enough and too forceful. 4:37 now. this morning, the search is on for the person who attacked a female student at de anza college. sheriff's deputies in santa clara county just released this sketch of the suspect. he is about 5'4" tall with light brown hair. the victim says he asked her for assistance as she was walking on campus yesterday morning. and then he grabbed and choked her until she passed out. we'll have live report on this in just about 30 minutes. a state report finds a disturbing number of sex offenders living or working at homes with foster children. the california state auditor found that the addresses of more than 1,000 registered sex offenders matched the locations
4:38 am
of licensed foster care facilities. even more surprising, the department says it told social services to cross-check the database three years ago but that never happened. >> something that's easy enough and just adds to ensuring that the kids are going to be placed in safe environments. >> social services says it does not believe cross-checking the database reliable. eight foster care facilities are now under investigation including two in vallejo. the l.a. dodgers say bryan stow may be partially responsible for the attack that almost killed him. the dodgers' lawyers telling espn a jury will probably put some of the blame on the injured giants fan himself. the lawyers depending the team against a lawsuit by stow's family. the family accuses the dodgers of not doing enough to prevent violence at games. the lawyer said, "i have been doing these cases for 23 years and i have never seen one yet in which it didn't take at least two people to tango." a suit is filed to try to stop the federal government's
