about this. >> there is a brazen quality to doing this where there are a lot of people around and also, it's not even a big crime that is occurring, you know, so it seems like we've got some desperate people who are not sneaking around. >> reporter: police have not released any description of the suspects but they acknowledge an uptick in robberies in oakland over the last year . and they have this advice for people all over the city. >> we are seeing that these offenders are very dangerous. we are asking individuals who might be approached by someone, whether they are armed or not, to not resist. >> reporter: the suspects are still on the loose and police continue their investigation. they are asking anybody with information to please come forward.

going to be outside the san francisco walgreens every day, they want brooke jenkins charged. jenkins said that she did not file charges in this case based on evidence. so what was the evidence? you have seen this, the surveillance video of the evidence that there is also cell phone video, witness statements and the police interview with that security guard, michael anthony. all of that was released yesterday. protesters on the sidewalk say they watched the videos and they strongly disagree with the da. >> of the tapes are telling us everything that we know, that banko brown was murdered because of his crime of being hungry. he was murdered because of the crime of being homeless. >> the security guard has maintained he felt his life was in jeopardy, and some are supporting jenkins decision including founding member of the friends of the lowell foundation, diane.

>> you can't just willy-nilly go in there and shoplift and fight the guard and walk off scott free. i agree it is very unfortunate that a life was lost in this incident but i also feel like da jenkins is using her best judgment. >> we do love to hear from you, and if you want to hear the report, we posted it so you can study it line for line on kpix .com. three people were injured after a train crashed into a parked pickup truck, it happened around midnight, this is near the coliseum station. the crash is being investigated but we can tell you as you get ready for your afternoon commute, the trains are up and running once again. and also, kids are back in school today in oakland for the first time in a week and a half, this is after the district and the teachers union agreed on a tentative deal to end the strike. the agreement will be

out and talking to people one-on-one. >> reporter: jeff liu grew up in a chinese-american family in palo alto, he starred on the football team at his high school. >> growing up in palo alto, there were people who came from money . we had kids that showed up to high school on their 16th birthday with their brand-new bmw car, that is not me. >> reporter: he began his law enforcement career in 2000, he served on patrol and led the investigations unit through hard times, when the city's per capita murder rate was still one of the highest in the nation. and it was during that time when liu suffer the darkest day of his career, january 7, 2006, the day his friend and fellow officer, richard was murdered from a crime suspect after a foot pursuit on this street.

doesn't like labels, he is breaking barriers becoming the first chinese-american chief, his career choice was a disappointment to his parents at first. >> of course my dad wanted me to be a doctor, or lawyer, but he said, if you are going to be a police officer, at least become the chief of police. so, i was able to make that a reality for him and hopefully he's looking down and hopefully he's proud of me. >> it is clear chief liu was the popular choice for palo alto. as he faces the challenges ahead to prevent and solve crimes and make the streets safer, he hopes to turn that popularity into progress. >> thank you for that story, chief liu will be sworn in friday, may 26. and berkeley had their own first asian-american police chief, jennifer lewis is the first

severely impact programs including cancer research, meals on wheels for seniors, preschool and childcare, and programs that serve our veterans. universities across the country really talk about their sustainability efforts as a way to appeal to climate conscious students, but many of those universities are also property from the investments from fossil fuel industries. we went out to see how some colleges and one in particular can make billions of dollars from oil. >> at the university of texas in austin and all colleges, operating a huge campus creates carbon admissions, they have been shrinking those emissions, and when it comes to sustainability, it calls itself a national leader. ella is a senior, she's a music student and a climate activist. a >> i still want to give credit ting eions that is only a

small part of the picture. >> hundreds of miles from the campus in the oil fields of west texas, the system owns more than 3000 square miles of property. larger than some small states. energy companies lease the university lands, extract oil and gas and pay royalties to the university system. >> we don't just show you the story, we've got connections, and this is my brother and often in silver and black, david, tell us a little bit more about your investigation. how much money are we talking about here? >> we are talking about a lot of money, the ut system brought in $2.2 billion in oil and gas royalties last year and that is the biggest reason that they have the largest public endowment in the united states. just so wealthy from oil and gas. >> when that pot of money is there, is that a good thing? is it received as a good thing or

are people looking at it with eyebrows raised? >> well, in particular, in the austin commu whe rethink a lot people n't reallyowth is ing it is in constitution from the 1870s that they can get this land and they can do whatever they want with it , then they found oil and became incredibly rich. so it has done some amazing things for education, but now we are in 2023 and we are talking about climate change, and a lot of people say it's time to reevaluate that relationship. >> so fascinating, and that is a balance people need to strike. you found that oil and education can come together, they are finding ways forward. >> well, in some ways, i think students would say it is actually hypocritical about how they are coming together, you don't have to own your own

oilfields to profit from fossil fuels, we found that there is a lot of places where the universities are investing in fossil fuel companies, or they are taking the opportunity to take donations from the industry, particularly at stanford. and people are really angry about this intersection. they say it is completely hypocritical and that is not what they came to the universities to do. a lot of people came to find solutions to these problems and find that they are actually a part of it when they go to college. >> so fascinating, in college is a great atmosphere to have those opposing viewpoints and maybe find a way through the conflict as well. thank you so much for joining us, looking forward to your full story today at 5:30. a heads up for bay area drivers, this summer it's going to cost you even more to park at meters and san francisco. it is true, in july, san frant monday
