11:00 pm
it makes me deeply sad. >> the middle of the mission district, a hotspot for sex workers and pam's. how the city is trying to curb the problem. this is the late news on cbs news bay area. good evening. it is no secret that mission has had a reputation as a smaller scale unofficial red light district. neighbors told us it has ramped up over the past few months in particular. sex workers, pimps and customers have been up and down the street so much so they are even blocking the street. the city has the solution. it is putting up barricades.
11:01 pm
>> reporter: at action has already been taken. the police department has teamed up with the sheriff's office to do patrols up and down the street. >> the street has always been known for sex work. if we could just take the pimps out of the equation, i wouldn't care. >> reporter: he has lived there for more than 25 years and raised his family here. the issue is not with the sex workers were the johns but with the traffickers. prostitution is something his family has become accustomed to. he is concerned with violence erupting in front of his home. >> it is part of life. it is not something we dwell on her focus on. i don't think his younger brother gets what's going on. i certainly don't want to blame and punish the women.
11:02 pm
>> reporter: michaela has also seen the young women walk up and down the street looking for a customer. >> personally, it makes me sad. also worried for them. for mac sharing that same sentiment as many others. the sympathy is for the women trying to make a living on the street. >> i hope they're being safe. i hope you find a better situation. >> reporter: whether it is extra patrols are barricades, many feel prostitution will never really go away. they just hope it gets better over time. >> it got better and worse. at times there was no one and then it changed. it seems to go in cycles. >> she supported legalizing sex work. the police officers association
11:03 pm
sent this tweet, accusing the supervisor for making it easier for traffickers to prey on women. >> it is not just a san francisco problem. we went to a neighborhood in oakland where we saw families pushing strollers weeks away from customers soliciting sex and sex workers. neighbors have been asking for help. one of the big concerns in some cases is human trafficking. it is something the diocese of oakland said they want to do something about. >> we need god to intervene. >> there was a prayer vigil yesterday for victims of trafficking. they arrested 169 people in relation to prostitution. if you or someone you know is a victim, you can call or text the human trafficking hotline and the numbers are on the screen. tonight, we are learning about why the oakland police
11:04 pm
chief was sidelined. we are hearing from chief armstrong directly. the new mayor put armstrong on leave almost 3 weeks ago after an outside law firm found the department mishandled misconduct cases. juliette goodrich got the first look tonight in an independent report that was critical. the key parts say allegations against him were unfounded or not sustained. a footnote to a question on the performance of duty did say that investigators concluded he was not credible during the interview. in a conversation, chief armstrong defended himself in trouble for what he would do differently. >> good to see you. >> what does it feel like to be on the sidelines. what does that feel like. >> it is a tough feeling to not
11:05 pm
be able to lead the police department. >> when you heard about the report and the fact the mayor made the decision, what was that like and what do you feel now? >> it was shocking. shocking that someone would do an investigation like this. in my opinion was so biased and so focused on trying to create a crisis. it was really surprising. >> reporter: you admitted to not reading before signing. explained that and is that common practice? >> that is common practice. there is not one chief of a major police department that actually reads everyone court. we are talking over 200 reports per year. it is important that you read the important reports and i do. only talk about officer involved shootings or excessive force or cases where officers will be terminated, those are
11:06 pm
cases that i would read. in this case, the evidence was about a vehicle collision that was not reported. >> is there anything that would be shocking or new or not? >> i don't think it is. things require explanation because the way it was written. >> reporter: would you do anything differently after knowing the scrutiny? >> there are recommendations. that improves the process. i do think they are good recommendations that could be implemented and make us better. >> reporter: what keeps you so passionate about keeping the job and getting it back. and being in the city that you grew up in. >> look where i am from. this wasn't easy to get to the top of the department. this is the kid that came from poverty. a kid that had to fight on the streets to make it. to make it to this point
11:07 pm
started from here and have someone taken away. it is not the way i want my career to and or my reputation. there are people that look up to me. >> i am here because i am committed to making oakland safer. did anything surprise you about him or your interview that you noticed? >> i appreciated that he wanted to talk and be open. this comes from a personal place.'s brother was killed from gun violence at a young age. the streets of oakland or something he wants to maintain to make safer. he is for the victims of gun violence. it comes from his upbringing. also what happened to his own brother.'s he could retire today. why is he going through all of this extreme to get his job back?
11:08 pm
he said it comes from a personal place. he is so blessed he said that the community has really supported him. they are not the ones that can make the decision. he hopes the mayor will see that support. >> is he frustrated or angry? >> i asked if you are mad. there is a new mayor. not mad or frustrated. he understands there is a report. he hopes that she will look at the report that is unfounded. also realizing there support that wants him on the job. he wants to put the uniform on and get on the job. the death toll after the earthquake in turkey, still climbing. it is shockingly high. at least 15,000 people have died. now the country admits there has been shortcomings in response to the disaster. some say rescuers have been
11:09 pm
slow to pull people out of collapsed buildings. the president apologized but also said it is impossible to be prepared for an earthquake this big. can you put a dollar amount on the impact of slavery and systemic racism. the state is trying to do that. tonight, the story on a thriving bay area town wiped off the map and the lingering effects decades later. >> there is a lot of pain that comes with talking about the history of what happened. later, she made a video of her father waiting for customers to walk inside of this empty restaurant. what happened next, changed
11:10 pm
11:11 pm
go the e extra mile this presidents' day in a volvo mild-hybrid vehicle.
11:12 pm
how do you quantify the impact of slavery and systemic racism on black californians? if you can measure it, what kind of compensation should people get. that is the exact question that the state reparations task force has been trying to address. the panels close to finishing the final proposal. >> reporter: dr. amos c brown as the great-grandson of a former slave, he grew up in segregated jackson, mississippi. he is a longtime activist and pastor of the historic third baptist church in san francisco. he is also a member of the california reparations task force which is looking into ways to compensate african- americans for centuries of slavery, terror and oppression. >> we must admit that slavery was wrong.
11:13 pm
you should atone. what is atonement? making amends and paying back for the wrong. >> reporter: in 2020, california became the first state to set up a reparations task force and much of what is done here could be a model for the rest of the country. >> an evil thing was done. that was to african-americans with enslavement. >> reporter: slavery was one of the founding institutions of the united states. it was abolished during the civil war but african-american suffered many more decades of violence, voter suppression, segregation and housing and job discrimination. california was founded as a free state, reverend brown said the racism carried over here.
11:14 pm
>> in areas of health and education, economic deprivation. and downright intentional efforts. then an ethnic cleansing of us. >> all of that wasn't long ago. >> it happened here in the 60s. >> once you cross the tracks, you were in russell city. >> reporter: her grandparents were property owners in a community of color that was literally wiped off the mount. russell city was one of the few places in alameda county where blacks and latinos were allowed to live. the unincorporated town had 12 locks, 1400 residents, school, churches, shops and the lively blues club scene that attracted performers like ray charles. >> it was an actual town. the community had life and
11:15 pm
history. also a lot of wonderful things. >> the county never provided services like water, electricity and sanitation. i the 1950s, town was declared a blight. residents were forced to move and arsonist burned properties to the ground. and the town was annexed, the city used eminent domain to remove the last of the residents in 1966 to make way for the industrial park that you see here today. >> there is a lot of pain that comes with talking about the history of what happened to families when they were forced out of the area, from the homes they own. >> her grandparents and father lost a home and auto repair business and were forced to accept minimal payments. today the properties would be worth millions of dollars. russell city is commemorated in this downtown mural and hayward
11:16 pm
has apologized for the policies that prevented people of color from owning homes and building wealth. >> it is an example of why reparations are needed. this is needed to repair the harm that was done during that time. the task force estimates that reparations for discrimination could top $560 billion. reverend brown said the task force must decide how compensations will be made. there could be things like free tuition, community building programs were simply cash payments. >> many are saying i am just waiting for my check. waiting to be paid. >> reporter: he said besides admitting the wrong and atoning, the third part of the plan should be action. san francisco has its own
11:17 pm
advisory committee. in january they presented a draft plan that would give $5 million to each eligible person. now let's talk about the weather. i felt like today stood out as it felt warm and nice. can we say mild? >> it was above-average. warm for the time of year. it is february. a little bit above average isn't the breath of april or may. in san francisco, temperatures aren't much different than february. we had a nice sunset this evening. 20 of sunshine again tomorrow. good news, copy and paste. then you won't be as happy by the end of the week. strong high pressure off the coast. it is a hill camped out there keeping the overall pattern, keeping temperatures mild. the changes come from the system out over the pacific. that will bring temperatures down closer to average. will bring a slight chance of showers. a couple of high clouds floating through. tomorrow abundant sunshine. we will see fog developing
