here i am standing up to one racist. there is nothing fo me to take back or regret. >> now at 11:00, how does one bay area city restore trust with its police? its offices ar charged with racist rants in text messages. what the mayor says should happen next. >> from kpix 5, this is the latest with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi, i am sara donchey. an investigation that has unveiled years of racist text messages has thrown antioch police department into years of investigations. the department found out that officers were part of a text message thread

the n-word. ngratulate each some officers were accused of things like distributing cocain and steroids, accepting bribes, intentionally using excee viola civil rights. now mayor lamar thorpe once the 24 officers involved to be fired. here is the thing. that is over 20% of the police department, which i already understaffed. we reache out antioch pd but did not hear back. the chief told us that th department has already restructured its peripheral division, and that the city would be covered. emotions really exploded at last night's antioch city council meeting about this. there was even a shouting match between the mayo and a man making public comment to wanted the mayor investigate instead of the police. >> it is absolutely wrong!

>> the mayor apologized for the moment, for losing his cool, he said. t was incredibly personal. shawn chitnis is on the late show with us. thank yo for being here. i know you talked with him this evening an he was clearly upset. what did he have to say tonight? >> reporter: the mayor said it was a good evening. we obviousl have this interesting order of events. certainly people were emotional and frustrated last night, but first you start with this crazy scandal, then you have a heated exchange. a day later, he stands by what he said. >> how else do you handle racism? there are people in thi country who have been hosed dow with fire hoses. there are people in this country who have had dogs attack them for protesting and demonstrating. there are people in this countr who have had people spit in their face for desegregating lunch counters. here i am standing up to one racist. ther is nothing for me to regret or

take back. >> reporter: antioch mayor lama thorpe standing by his actions and comments at a city d lling a coded form of racism as somebody defending the police department. >> i think it is a privilege that i have a right in this country to do that, whereas other people have lost their lives for the very thing that i did read. >> reporter: the mayor says the police department should report directly to the city council an not the city manager. otherwise the police department is essentially its own independent agency. >> that was the most intense meeting i have attended. that was the first one where individuals have had to be escorted for their heckling and disrespect. but yesterday i jus felt the presence of a lot of families that needed to heal. >> reporter: patricia is an antioch resident who attended the meeting and felt the need t

speak to a public comment. she has lived in the city for more than 20 years. for her it is no only seen the accused officers removed from the department, bu also a change in culture to regain her trust. >> it is going to take a while. until i know that all of these cops are relieved of their duties and stripped of their pensions. >> reporter: even the police chief expressed his disappointment in his officers. >> the kind of speech is bad an divisive. there is no place in it in policing for sure, but just for society in general. >> reporter: but there are concerns because of the department being understaffed. he says they still have enough officers to protect this community. others on the city council say they trust the process. >> i have faith in chief ford that he will move forward with that, and i have faith that if, in fact, the chief has findings

that find somebody in violation that the chief will hold those persons accountable. >> reporter: but for residents following each turn in this investigation, believing again in the police will take time. >> i can say that as a city, we will work to make sure that we build a police department that every single sector of our community can trust. >> reporter: even the mayor sai he can't promise there is more to come after learning about these text messages. >> i can't tell you what can or can't happen. this whole proces has surprised me. >> reporter: one more thing cam out of our conversation with th mayor. we asked him about all pending cases involving the police given what we are learning in these text messages the mayor tonight want not wanting to comment on that aspect of the story. >> we know how all of the stakeholders feel about this. i there any other community group that will do anything about thi

or take any action? >> reporter: this is certainly an opportunity to raise awareness about some of the wor that is happening in the community, and antioch. we did talk to one organization, two members of reimagining antioch, who say they want to look at public safety and not just what police are doing but also food and health care and housing and show how it is connected. here is a little bit of what they said. >> there is still no social change in antioch or contra costa county. even with the influx of different diversities coming into the community, it still seems like there is a web of racism at the core. unfortunately, it is not something that has been removed as of yet. >> she is making his comments because she told us in part tha she moved here when she was nin years old and this was the firs time she heard the n-word. all these years later she was reading about in text messages from police officers. just some of the weight of emotion and

frustration we are talking abou in this story. >> shawn, thank you for telling us all of that tonight. also, one resident, gigi crowder, showed up at the city council meeting to talk about an incident that happened in 2007. she said her twin boys were in park listening to music with three of their friends. she sai officers showed up to the park and arrested only her sons for being in the park after docs. she said that one of her sons i hearing-impaired. the officer, she says, slammed him on the ground, bloodied his face and shoved his knee into his back. she always asked whether that treatment was racially motivated. >> sometimes you just need validation. as hard as it was t read the text messages, i read them. because now you have it, and prove, in black and white, that it was taking place. the core human values that we carry that there is more similarities and differences, and if we can do it anywhere, we should be able to do it here in antioch.

>> she told us she is committed to staying in antioch and helping the community bridge th racial divide. to learn more about the ongoing fallout from antioch pd, including a video statement from the mayor, head to our website, kpix.com. there is even more pressure tonight for california senator dianne feinstein to step down, and it is coming from within he own party. but for now she is only asking for help to complet some of her work while she recovers from an illness. two members of congress, including bay area representative for o'connor called for her to step down. she has been away from th senate since march as she is treated for shingles. she has missed 60 of the 82 senate vote taken in 2023. today she asked to be replaced by the judiciary committee so that they can keep ceding federal judges. her office said that she intends to return to office and continue what work she can from her home in san francisco. she then aske

for senate leader chuck schumer to low another democratic senator to return to her seat. representatives adam schiff, katie poured and barbara lee have already said they plan to run for her seat next year. still ahead, a san jose church flouted covid restrictions at the peak of th pandemic, now they have to pay up. plus -- >> your next covid test could have four legs and a tail. why dogs are proving yet again they really are man's best friend. this is not what you want t see in your garage in the middl of the night. another cold, breezy day in store for us on thursday. temperatures look like they wil warm up a little bit as we hit the end of the work week. we will see if we can keep it goin into the weekend, coming up in

th

developing news out of berkeley. we have video of a lo of police are renting a car wit windows blown out. this is at the intersection of shattuck avenue in berkeley. we are hearing reports of a possible shooting that happened around it: 30, but we are waiting to hear back from police. they are on the scene right now and we have a call out to them. a church in san jose will have to pay up for breaking covid rules. today a santa clar county judge ordered cavalry church in san jose to pay a

fine for breaking masking and social distancing roles. the church sued le e 2020 sthey vi thr religious freedoms. then the county sued the church for fines, including not following the rules from november 2020 through june 2021 calvary chapel plans to appeal the decision. more than three years after the white house declared a federal covid emergency, president biden and did it this week. but the federal public health emergency is still in place and is set to expire next month. that means people in mos states will have to pay for out-of-pocket testing for both at-home tests and pcr lab test. california is planning to keep testing free so the state legislature is considering two bills to keep the cost away fro people 's wallets. if you have taken a covid test, you know it can be uncomfortable depending on whic kind you do. some parts of the country, including here in the bay area are using a walking lab to sniff out covid cases.

>> reporter: it is 9:00 a.m., and scarlet, two-year-old yello labrador, is already working her tail off. this is her boss, liz johnston. this is her uniform. this is how she gets paid. >> they are wonderful workers, and they love their job. >> reporter: scarlet, and her canine coworker rizzo, are part of a growing number of dogs who can detect covid in humans simply by sniffing their socks. >> we per sprayed and threat through our socks, so it has a high amount of motor on it. >> reporter: they have been deployed to classrooms and nursing homes all over the bay area, essentially serving as walking covid test. no need for swabs or even a laboratory. instead, these labs come to you >> why use dogs? >> they are environmentally friendly. there is not a lot of trash from that. why wouldn't you want her running around you instead of somebody swiping you

nose? >> reporter: the sense of smell is said to be 10,000 to 100,000 times better than humans. over the years, they have been used to sniff out everything from bombs to illegal drugs and even cancer. >> they can sniff out half a teaspoon of an order in an olympic -sized swimming pool without a problem. >> reporter: one canister is stuffed with a used sock that belonged to a person who recently tested positive for covid. the moment that scarlett and rizzo think they have detected a case, they sit down. >> right here is where the covi canister is. i will move it to my left. let's see if she can find it. that's amazing. she didn't even hesitate. how accurate are they? >> they are very accurate. on double-blind studies they were over 95%. >> reporter: carol edwards is the executive director of early

alert canines, the company that has been training scarlet and rizzo almost every day to keep them up-to-date on all the latest strains. she says that not only are they accurate, but they can tell if somebody has covid even before it shows up i other tests. but perhaps their biggest advantage is speed. >> you can literally do 300 people in 30 minutes with a dog you cannot do that with a 15 minute test. >> reporter: after a rough day at work, scarlet heads home, happy to use her nose to keep that swab out of yours. >> an important note. trainers say that scarlett and rizzo are not at risk of contracting the virus. the samples are sealed for at least 24 hours before being used, so there is no active virus in the canisters. let's talk about the weather. we like a calm forecas around here. it is definitely windy if i have to make any comment about anything. >> the breeze brought cooler weather in. especially this afternoon. it was blustery out

there . same thing out at the giants game this evening. but there is good news if you want break from the wind, too. the whole system will be shifting around a little bit. let's get into the details here. the stor system has been squeezing the atmosphere over the bay area. most of it is energy. all of th moisture was aimed town north, but close enough for those gust winds. we will see a common pattern shaping up as we head into the weekend. it is going t allow temperatures to warm back up close to what is normal for this time of year, for at least a few days. there are pockets o gustier wins, but they are few and far between. right now the strongest sustained wind is 14 miles per hour at sfo. but notice the colors. there is a wind advisory that is in effect for solano county. it is in effect and goes through 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. this is really mostly to cover the central valley and areas further to the north of solano county. the

national weather service office in sacramento just included solano along with the rest of the counties. maybe if you gust up to 45 miles per hour. does not look like a major concern. for the rest of the bay area it will be a breezy day, which brings in the question that if tomorrow happens to be trash day, how far down the road with your trash can blow? not all that far. if anything it will just get tipped over nearby. i don't think you will have to retrieve it from your neighbor' yard or do a quest to retrieve it. the strongest winds will be in the morning with gusts up to 35 miles per hour, staying belo the threshold for most of the bay area, then coming down. onc the wind diminishes, then we have to track fog in the mornings. tomorrow we will see a lot of sunshine, but as we want the clock over to friday morning, a little bit of gray showing up. we will see the fog in the morning hours of friday and saturday, but will not last long. we will skip past the current temperatures, and those are right now in the upper 40s and low 50s. we will end up in

the mid to low 40s in most locations by early tomorrow morning. then we warm up closer to normal despite the breeze continuing throughout the day. 50s along the coast. otherwise 60s across pretty much the entire bay area. some of the warmer spots inland in the east bay warming up to around 70 degrees. it will not be that warm around the bay, but again, baby steps closer to normal temperatures. the warm-up that will continue to the end of the work week and for the weekend in inland parts of the bay area will not be as noticeable aroun the bay. just around the low 60 in san francisco and mid-60s in oakland. then another wave of cooler air for the entire regio by early next week, accompanied by just enough moisture for a chance for rain showers. monda night into tuesday. it is an outside chance at this point, something we will keep an eye on. if we do get rain will not amount to much more than a few hundredths of an inch of total rainfall. not a high-impact system, but again, something to keep us occupied for the next

couple days. >> you need things to keep you occupied. coming up, imagine waking u to your house alarm going off and then this intruder in your backyard. thank you, vern. same old same old! where di it all go wrong for - life is uncertain. it's okay to feel stressed, anxious, worried, or frustrated. calhope can help. access calhope's free and secure mental health resources today. call our warm line at 833-317-4673 or live chat at calhope.org.
