11:01 pm
that's given that they feel this type of way towards a specific group of people. >> these texts came out as part of an ongoing fbi investigation into the antioch police. that started after officers were accused of distributing cocaine and steroids, accepting bribes, using excessive force and civil rights violations. according to the county public defender's office, 45 of the 99 sworn officers are involved in this investigation. 16 of them are in leadership roles. the texting scandal pretty much took up tonight's entire city council meeting. our betty yu was there and spoke to a resident who thinks the department should be disbanded entirely. betty? >> reporter: the antioch and derogatory text messages. they called for action.
11:02 pm
>> close down the antioch police department! closedown all the offices! >> reporter: the special council meeting was fiery. >> i will be back! >> reporter: mayor lamar thorpe had to issue warnings to people who shouted or spoke out of turn. >> i would like department of justice standards. >> reporter: long time antioch resident spoke before the council and join the protest before the meeting she is said hearing other people share traumatic stories involving antioch police reminded her of her first encounter. >> it brought me back to being a young brown 12-year-old. i was going through a trail, it was after school and we were heading to a basketball game. a police officer came up and pointed his gun at me and asked me, looking back it was scary!
11:03 pm
>> reporter: she said the officer asked her about the fight she had nothing to do with. as far as the newly released racist and hateful text messages -- is embarrassing and disgusting how emboldened and fearless and -- >> reporter: the council voted unanimously in favor of three types of audits for the police department, including the internal affairs process and hiring practices. >> they need to rethink what policing in antioch will look like. we do need police. we do need services. but because of the mistrust after what i heard today, i just keep learning more and more stories. >> reporter: contra costa county chief public defender said the problem is pervasive. >> we need immediate and full disclosure and transparency. individuals who have spoken tonight are victims of police brutality! they are victims of crimes! >> reporter: many community members expressed support for the current police chief, who
11:04 pm
was hired only about a year ago. >> there are changes happening because the people that voted one accountability. we have an administration that is doing it, now we need to hold them accountable to ensure that we see this through. >> reporter: the protesters today issued a list of demands, including mandatory bias training and reopening cases involving officers involved in in custody deaths. there was a big announcement tonight from the nba that has shocked warriors fans and probably upset more than a few of them, too. it has to do with the draymond green stomp in last night's game against the kings that got him ejected. charlie walter joins us with details on the verdict. i want to reiterate what a surprise this was. we were talking earlier in the day thinking this wasn't going to happen. other outlets are reporting the same. what happened? >> yeah, shams charania is usually the one who reports on these suspensions. but it is the person who retaliates who usually gets in trouble,
11:05 pm
especially when there is a history of this kind of behavior. after last night's game, both draymond and sabonis made a case for why green should be punished further. >> i had to plant my foot somewhere, and i'm the most flexible person, so it is not stretching that far. >> what happened, i feel like we can't have that in our game today. >> the league suspended draymond. this is a game that golden state cannot afford to lose, and they will be missing the straw that stirs the drink. the league said this is based on his history of unsportsmanlike acts. this year the warriors were 3-6 in games without green. the kings have listed sabonis as questionable with a bruised sternum. after draymond went all gladiator, ran around riling up the crowd,
11:06 pm
adam silver, the commissioner of the nba was in attendance. the timing, to me, just seems a little bit strange. they had all the facts. he had said everything in the press conference. they could have done this at noon! they came out at nearly midnight eastern time. so that was strange. >> the pushback is, should we consider the history for one particular incident? >> you wouldn't think so. you would think the only thing that matters was what happened during one play. but i don't make the rules. it is above my pay grade. >> thank you so much, charlie. now over to oakland city hall. landlords and tenants are pleading their case and what has been a pretty intense oakland city council meeting. the issue is how to wind down the conviction moratorium. under the plan, the eviction and late fee moratoriums would end on july 15th. but the bannock on rent hikes would stay in place until july of next year. >> you are not a slave! you are not a slave! you're not a
11:07 pm
slave! >> that was the point where the ed. property ownesay onal d that the pandemic has allowed tenants to skip on rent for years, but tenants who spoke worried that once th, ousands o evictions will be filed. >> i will be doggone deaf because of this moratorium i am going to get put out doors because of that. it is not fair. you guys know that. i don't know if any of you have ever received an eviction notice, but until you do it is really hard to appreciate the sheer terror. >> there have been dozens of people in person on zoom weighing in. we will let you know when the vote happens. this was controversial
11:08 pm
even before it was installed in san jose a decade ago. now the 1200 pound bronze statue of a formmar is city is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it. captain townsend was more than a mayor, he was a general in the mexican-american war. some say that the statue of him is a symbol of the oppression of mexicans and native americans. some say they are surprised to see this day arrive after fighting for it for so long. >> reporter: james dominguez couldn't believe what he saw this tuesday morning in san jose. >> this is awareness month, so it's a good start. >> reporter: it is an unofficial start to the council in downtown san jose. james is a member of the tribe and tells me that it is a relief to see this happening here. >> a lot of people have been ue iting and protesting ns

>> repo: the de de in 2021 when the san jose city council voted to remove the sculpture. it is located at the downtown intersection of julius street and st. james street. it was installed in 1846 on what was then mexican land. he views it as disrespectful. >> we want to celebrate somebody who encouraged genocide and profit off the genocide of indigenous people here? >> reporter: so he waited and recorded every second while workers broke the concrete. in a statement, the city of san jose said the statue will be entirely removed by may 4th. they say the cost to remove it are estimated to be up to $450,000. if you are wondering what is going to happen with it, the city says it will be placed in storage without any plans tore >> with this statue and other issues that people are coming together on to fight these policies and these ideas in the bay area and these icons to
11:10 pm
bring about justice and make it a new era of freedom. >> reporter: a handful of people we talked to agreed. they say the statue has to go. >> these things are about looking at history through different lenses. it is always challenging. but i think we realize that it represents something that we should not be proud of, certainly for certain segments of our population. i think we need to do the right thing. >> reporter: a movement that james hopes keeps the history of the indigenous people in california. still had tonight, we are talking part of california history that is often ignored , looking back at a haunting legacy of abuse at state boarding schools that is still having an impact decades later. >> we have been losing people all the time. unsolved mysteries appear all the time. and a horse takes a trip to denny's. a really weird sighting tonight in a city

dark history of california's boarding schools and how the mistreatment is still having an effect today. >> reporter: redwood canoes are once again gliding on the klath. f tribad philip willia way t to hiors. >> it is important that we use this culture. >> reporter: for thousands of years, these hand-carved dugouts traveled the river. the yurok tribe revived the tradition. but it is not just the canoes that nearly went extinct. >> it is hard to accept the fact that there was a society who wanted you gone. >> reporter: during the gold rush, government officials started a campaign to slaughter california's indians. in just 40 years, 80% of the population was wiped out. this contempt for native life continues to this day. >> some people out there think
11:15 pm
we should just die and go away. >> reporter: and that disregard is now reflected in the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women. for this tribal leader, it's personal. >> i lost my daughter five years ago. >> reporter: his daughter tara went missing and was later foar hecrashed truck. he says he will never know the full story. >> we have been losing people all the time. unsolved mysteries happen here all the time. >> reporter: as for the historical wrongs, they include more than massacres. there was a systematic attempt to erase traditional values, behaviors and beliefs by forcing indian children into boarding schools. >> forget your culture, forget your life and become assimilated. become a white person. >> reporter: a recent federal report reveals that from 1819 through 1969, the u.s. operated more than 400 indian boarding
11:16 pm
schools. 12 were in california. indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families and communities. children who resisted assimilating were often punished with whippings, solitary confinement or starvation. so what do these wrongs have to do with the missing and murdered women? >> you know, things happen to us as a result of an invasion and a lot of bad behavior. we took on some of that behavior. >> reporter: abby ab and auntie is the judge of the yurok tribe. she believes that some children, enslaved by wealthy landowners, past their pain, suffering and coping mechanisms to the next generations. >> many of them would run home, but they came home having not been parented. and they had a lot of bad habits, because they were beaten and whatever.
11:17 pm
>> reporter: habits including substance abuse and domestic violence that can lead to mental illness. the challenge is how to break this destructive cycle. many believe that the effort includes reconnecting to traditional values and beliefs. >> you feel like when you gather acorns you are connecting yourself in some way to your grandmother? >> absolutely, i do. >> reporter: tara lynn shows me how she gathers acorns, a traditional food still used by indigenous tribes. tara lynn's grandmother was murdered, recognizing that the trauma is helping her to break the trauma for her daughters. >> they didn't know because i didn't talk about it. so painful. >> reporter: for williams, reclaiming the yurok heritage is one step closer to healing. but he knows that it will not take away the pain from those still waiting for resolution. >> my daughter was found. i can't imagine what it would have felt like if she wasn't found. i have closure. i buried
11:18 pm
my daughter. they don't have that. >> we will be posting the entire special series unseen on our website, kpix.com. darren is in for paul tonight! happy to have you back, sir. you are already talking about el nino? >> yeah sara, we are going to take a look at the long-range forecast perhaps for next winter. if you haven't heard yet, el nino is developing in the pacific. i could just give you the visual of what that looks like when el nino develops in the pacific. you get this very warm patch of water down on the equator off of south america. we are going to change our vantage point. i will spin the globe around. we will not look at the waters off of our coast. instead, i want you to take a close-up look at the waters that are sitting down off of south america. that bright band down there, that fuchsia that shows up, that is where sea surface temperatures are already well above average. that's the beginnings. there is a high degree of confidence that we will be in and el nino
11:19 pm
as we get to next winter. but it is also only spring. so we cannot say exactly how strong it will be, but there is a 40% chance that it will be a strong el nino, and that's important. if you get a strong el nino, that tends to really tilt the odds in favor of a wetter than average winter . it's early, but since the signs are there we are going to start talking about it, because it is important. but it's down the road, so let's get back to the near-term. how about morning lows tomorrow? low 40s. daytime highs will be like today, which means low to mid 60s. it will be breezy again for some of us. this is going to play out in a classic way that does this time of year. it will get windy if you are near the water. watch what happens. this will light up and the onshore wind will come in. i want you to get a close-up look at this, because we do not all experience this the same way. there will be gusts of 26, 27 miles per hour tomorrow near the water. in the city, that includes you. san
11:20 pm
bruno, that certainly includes you. it is like a 15-mile-per-hour breeze and you don't notice much for inland alameda county and contra costa county. that is the way it will go for the next few months. we have noticed that pattern over the last few days. i mentioned to warm up. we will look straight ahead at that. san francisco and oakland, you kind of see it here. look at oakland. we go from the low 60s tomorrow to the mid-70s by friday. so that is already a bit of a warm-up. but the numbers get exaggerated when you look at the microclimates. north bay and south bay. we go from mid-60s tomorrow to right around 80 on friday and saturday. some of us would go to the low 80s on friday. north bay valley, santa rosa, that's you. inland and east bay valleys will do it as well. concord, livermore, these are your numbers on the top line. you are in the low 80s by friday and saturday. the beaches don't warm up that much
11:21 pm
but they still warm-up. we are not staying in the low 80s. we will cool the numbers all the way down to the mid-to-upper 70s. all right. charlie, over to you. next in sports, the suns were hot in the desert, plus the giants road trip couldn't be
