two friends, two views on the racist police scandal in antioch. >> seriously? 2022 and this is going on?

>> how the conversation has changed their relationship, but they are not giving up on their home. plus, words flight and then a brick. all this at a forum on the san francisco drug crisis. and wait until you see what our cameras saw just aroun the corner. >> from kpix, the slate news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello, i am sara donchey. everyone agrees it is bad and even terrible. few people agree on what to do about it. open air drug markets have consumed part of downtown san francisco, the same place wher you just saw the mayor chairing a meeting today to address plan to address it. the meeting was outside in the middle of u.n. plaza and got contentious. here is what our cameras caught step away that you won't see. all

that rampant drug use in plain view. we saw a young girl in what looked like a school uniform walking by as people were smoking and shooting up. s let's bring in betty yu. this was in front of city hall where the mayor got shouted out of a public forum about the same subject. >> this was a very rare meeting that did not last long at all. it took place at one of the worst drug hotspots in the city amid deteriorating street conditions in san francisco. >> i run into people day in the they say london, we would have

never been allowed to get away with this stuff back in the day the fact is it is time for a change! we want to get people help but we will not continue t allow things to just occur as they have been. >> reporter: mayor london breed spoke forcefully as she called for a tougher approach to dealing with the brazen open-ai drug crisis held at u.n. plaza, the epicenter of the problem. i was not hard to find people openly using drugs nearby in th shadow of city hall. >> i think they should give us housing, you know what i'm saying? there are 276,000 millionaires in this city. >> reporter: supervisor aaron peskin said that while the problem is not new, it has become so visible that many san franciscans don't feel safe. within moments, the meeting turned chaotic. >> my question is will you now -- >> reporter: peskin had asked the mayor to set up an emergenc

operations center to close down open drug markets within 90 days. >> our resources have not dealt with the problem based on the magnitude of what we are experiencing. >> reporter: protesters quickly shouted down the meeting, and witnesses said someone threw a brick, injuring 18, before bein subdued by the police. the meeting was moved to city hall. >> we are proposing changes to state law and enacting local programs to try to end this disruptive behavior. >> reporter: the mayor also spoke passionately about the next generation growing up in the city. >> why should someone else's rights be put before their need and their safety and what they deserve, too, in a place like san francisco that claims to be so compassionate and liberal ? what about them? >> obviously a lot of tough tal from their breed. what is the plan to get this into action?

>> she urged the board to support programs and legislatio even at the state level to change our laws. she also asked the supervisors to support arrests for those struggling with drug addiction and especially when they break the law. >> thank you so much. let's get into the politics of all this. voters will have their say in 2024 to a degree, at least in the race for san francisco mayo and other key elected positions. we talked to sf stat associate professor of politica science mcdaniels about the approach. jason, thanks for you time. you watched the event today. where you think we are a a city? are our political leaders in agreement enough tha they may actually try to have movement on this issue to solve what many say is an incredibly complicated thintoday the he

proval at t with some compromises is a positive sign that we will see the city government come together to try to make change. combined with the idea that the mayor has talked about poor netting state and federal resources as well, think we are seeing the competing factions in the city signal that they agree at least somewhat on an approach and thi is necessary to season change. >> do you think that this issue in the mind of voters, of citizens of san francisco , is elevated to the point that it may push some of our politician to do something one way or the other? >> i think today the announcement by the leaders, especially by mayor breed and supervisor peskin that they say that voters care about this issue more than any other, it

has become the number one most important issue. mayor breed seems to clearly signal that sh knows that she is going to be held accountable by the voters on this issue and that she need to be an effective leader, coordinating cooperation from across the political spectrum i she wants to be re-elected. >> jason, thank you so much for your time , and we appreciate it. new tonight, rob bonta says that he will be taking a look a the banko brown case after san francisco d.a. brooke jenkins says she did not have enough evidence to prosecute. brown wa fatally shot by walgreens security guard who said he was trying to stop brown from shoplifting. he also told polic that brown threatened to stab him. the killing led to protest while stoking the debate over the response to rampant retail theft. in a statement, jenkins said that her office provided the highest degree of transparency possible with the case, adding that she welcomes the review and will cooperate

and assist. now we turn to the city of antioch which is in the middle of its own crisis after the fbi blew open a series of races tex messages between police officer dating all the way back to 2019 the scandal has forced a lot of residents to take a hard look a their town. kelsey spoke with two friends as they processed what happened and found at leas something in this whole mess to be grateful for. >> reporter: kirkland smith moved to antioch back in 1995, looking to escape the city and find a nice area where his youn kids could grow up. >> at that time there was supposedly a strong school system. so it was a pretty easy decision to make. small class sizes. there would be greater opportunity, we thought, for a small young man. >> reporter: around the same time, alan payton had just been elected to antioch city council >> i chose to run for state assembly and i got beat badly.

>> reporter: over the years, kirkland and allen became good friends. kirkland became the pastor of a local church, and after his political career, ala started a local newspaper. in 2018, the two opened a restaurant together and called it the solid cafe. but throughout all these years of friendship, alan and kirkland had very experiences living in their town. >> antioch was what they used t call a son downtown, where people of color were not welcom in this town, and very few -- w had been here for 20 years. whe we got here there were few people of color. >> kirkland says he has heard countless stories of people of color have an uncomfortable experiences with antioch police officers, including from his ow kids. that is why when an fbi investigation uncovered a barrage of races text messages sent by over a dozen antioch police officers in the past few sears, kirkland was >> because there has been an overture of hate and an

overture of ignorance and bitterness and division in the city for a long time. >> allen said that even he has had intense run-ins with police but he was still shocked to learn just how many officers were involved in this scandal. >> to me it is like seriously? this is still going on? you hav the whole issue with george floyd and the whole black lives matter movement. we have marche on this street. really, guys? you are still talking like this or thinking like this? this is ridiculous. >> reporter: kirkland says the text messages just confirm what many residents of color suspected for years. >> it was not surprising. it wa alarming. it was also an exhilaration and excitement tha it was revealed and now we can get some of these men out. >> reporter: kirkland says he knows that that change will tak

time, but he is happy the community is finally talking about the problem in the open. >> one thing i am a true believer of, when you have experience, this does not anticipate or go away overnight it will be a period of time, an even in our community talking about it i think is healing. a lot of people here are talking. >> people are recognizing what others go through. that was one of my thoughts when that office interacted overly aggressive towards my sister and myself on a stop sign violation, thinking you know what? if this is happening to me i wonder what i happening to other people of color. >> even allen and kirkland say that this controversy has made them discuss race and discrimination with each other in ways they never have. that i one thing both say they are grateful for. >> i think we are on pretty muc the same side. we don't have th same background, but we want to see the healing happen in our

commit >>itarts here. what lives and what resides in here? >> reporter: allen and kirkland said they came to antioch looking for a good life. they found a good friend in each other and even during hard time like this they say they are not giving up on the town that all those years ago they chose to move to and call home. >> thanks for being here, first of all. when it comes to this scandal we have heard a lot of people say what they think the police department should do, no only with these officers but also leadership. people have a lot of opinions about whether the current chief is up to the task of dealing with this. what do these people have to say about him? do they have confidence in his ability to ge the department and the city through this?

>> reporter: yes, both kirkland and allen are supportive of the police chief. they think that what he has in mind will work. they do believe that there need to be turnover with these officers. they like this resolved as quickly as possible these two guys have a unique take on it. there is alan who has been reporting on it with his local paper, then kirkland is the pastor. he has been talking a lot to local youth about this and getting ideas from them about what else can b done moving forward. >> thank you so much, again. a hero jumped into action t save someone's life when a police chase ended in a catastrophic crash, leaving an innocent bystander dead and others hurt. this happened this morning in the san francisco mission district. somebody carjacked a city-owned truck while i worker was using it and drove it a few miles away. officers started chasing it. people were standing at a dustu when the truck spun out of control and smashed into the bu stop. ivan contreras immediatel tried to help people that were

hurt. >> i dent the bumper to get of eathing again. older hispanic lady. i held her hand and she told me in spanish, don't go anywhere. i said i'm not going anywhere. this affects people's lives. people who didn't have anything to do with what was going on. >> just as ivan was trying to help the woman who was trapped under the truck, put police sai the carjacked was the only person inside the truck at the time of the crash. live look at oakland tonight. police say they have busted a nine-person robbery crew in oakland, ranging in age from 17 to only 12 years old. the group is suspected in a string of at least 35 robberies all over arld poli and will ta

about this tomorrow and we will have more details for you at that time. now to a mystery solved in the north bay with the help of kpix reporting! last week we told you about a book that was returned to the st. helena library 96 years overdue . the library want to get the story behind it and promised no late fees and the mystery man came forward! the library says that man who lives in napa saw our report about the book and he called up the library. he said that he found the book in a stack of old books while cleaning up and decided to return it. he thinks that his grandfather in law checked the book out back in 1927. his name was john mccormick. he died in 1936, and now that the mystery is solved, the library has the book, titled the history of the united states on display. juliette goodrich here tonight with the story of a san jose high school student who ca probably get into in college sh wants after what she just did. caitn ngshe literall name is edworld of for nasa. so this is super complex, but i will tr

the best that i can. so she is 17 years old, and get this. she found a new planet. but it was the way she found it that earned her a $75,000 top prize at the regeneron international science and engineering fair. here it is. >> from san jose, california, caitlin wang! >> so caitlin tells us in her very down-to-earth way, she found an efficient method to identify certain planets that orbit closely around host stars she also found the smallest one of these planets ever discovere using a special algorithm that she created on her home computer. the algorithm runs o cheap hardware and results in much faster and more precise discoveries, which is why nasa would like to speak with her! >> what i did was i built a new exoplanet detection system that runs 120 times faster than previous methods using a cheap gpu card. that means that prett much anyone can use this gpu

card at home or in the classroo to conduct exoplanet discovery on their own. i found three new discoveries, and i think they are pretty cute! one of them is the smallest usb ever discovered. so that is really exciting. >> i would like to remind you that she is 17 and she beat out 1600 other young scientists at the largest stem competition fo teens in the world. she is adorable. she is down to earth. okay. let's bring in paul -- >> we are all going to work for her! >> we are all going to work for her someday! you are our scienc guy. what did she find? >> so we will switch over to ou graphics and we have a picture in the video wall of an exoplanet. we are going to brin in 3-d graphics as well. okay. we do have 3-d. let's see if we can bring it in. so we do have actual pictures. so there

yes, it is not going to burn you. so there is a star with a planet around it. okay. we want to know exactly how many of those planets are out there. th only way we can tell without getting a picture is by measuring how much the star dem whenever the planet rotates around in front of it. so we ca see that from earth by just how much the star fades. by just a tiny little bit. that is probably what she has displayed on the monitor. but you can onl see that if the star is actuall dimmed by the planet as it goes in front. so if it orbits this way you will not see it. there are about 10,000 of these planets that have been discovered so far. not all have been confirmed. there are about 200 billion stars in the milky way and 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe, so there are about 40,000 billion billion different stars that we evn d find if thhas plenty of

targets! >> when i mentioned it to you, you said she is pretty bad, you know what. she is really smart. >> anything you can improve on what nasa are already doing? good job! >> they are calling her, anyway it is amazing. but what is next for caitlin aside from all of the scholarships? >> so this just brings it back home. she loves boba tea. she says all her friends used to bu her that, and now they are like you are buying us the next round. she says she is also going to publish your research and share the algorithm with al of us down the road, so stay tuned and congratulations to her! >> very well-earned! >> boba on her! >> i would say so! let's talk about the weathe on earth and we will bring it back to a l e a limotuitive! w have normal late may conditions a bit on the cool side, and som

of the fog is trying to redevelop as we speak. we also have haze on the horizon over the next couple of days. temperatures in the mid to low 50s across the entire bay area right now. we will see some fog redeveloping, but the marine layer will be quite a bit deepe over the next few nights and early mornings. fog is not necessarily concentrated at ground level but will be kind o dispersed vertically in the atmosphere, which means a lot o clouds, not much in terms of really dense fog that is going to have a huge impact on the morning commute. the same way that the fog goes back and fort every day, the low clouds will go back and forth. they should back up towards the coast as we go towards lunch time. little swirl in the atmosphere will help to pull the fog a little ways away from the coast around midday. temperatures tonight are not going to drop a whole lot more than where they have already. upper 40s and s to start dahi morros averagnear the water. upper 50s along the

coast, mainly in the 60s around the bay and low 70s down the peninsula and a few degrees below normal further inland. late may we typically see temperatures topping out in the low 80s. warmest spots far inland are only going to hit th upper 70s tomorrow. most temperatures will top out inlan in the mid to low 70s and there is actually cooler weather on the way for thursday and friday those will be the coolest days. we will bounce back a little bi as we go through memorial day weekend. if you are heading out to bottle rock and napa, temperatures are only in the 60 on friday but making it up to the 70s on saturday and sunday. the temperatures will drop off quickly once the sun goes down, so make sure you bring somethin to layer up after sunset if you are heading out to that festival, or anything else across the bay area over the weekend. we gradually return to normal temperatures and we remain in between above normal temperatures to our north and below normal temperatures over southern california with the 8-14 day outlook showing us in the middle ground as we round the corner from late may into

early june. temperatures in san francisco over the next several days hovering in the low 60s. we are in the mid 60s for oakland and the east bay, staying below 70 degrees, even on the warmest days. the cooles spots will be in the north bay thursday and friday, then they get back into the 70s for the three-day holiday weekend. othe areas include the santa clara valley and the east bay . alon the coast it is what you would expect in late may. lots of may gray with temperatures pretty much stuck in the upper half of the 50s. vern? ahead in sports, 49ers football and santa clara

i'm karen. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable,

cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. i really like the flexibility. and for me, it's one less thing to think about while traveling. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go.
