what will be the only debate before the november election. brian flores is in san francisco this morning to tell us why many people don't seem to care about the race. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, there are several reasons why there is a lot of apathy towards the governor's debate schedule today. according to a field poll the governor has a sizable lead and that viewership for the debate is expected to be low tonight. i want to show you a ktvu field poll that was conducted earlier. pretty much backs what we've been talking about. 50% of voters would vote for the governor if an election would be held today. his opponent neel kashkari at 34%. analysts say the governor has a lead because of his strong support within the party, but also because brown has been favored by independent or middle of the road factor. analysts say kashkari hasn't had the funding to put ads out there for people to get to know him.

the other thing is the governor doesn't have a strategic reason to debate his opponent and draw attention to the race. this is an opportunity for kashkari to gain points. the issue is who will be watching. many say they are somewhat interested but won't be tuning in. >> kind of sort of interested. i am not familiar with the guy who is running against him. i just heard his name the first time this morning and i have already forgotten it. >> no. really i just haven't been following that in the news recently just because of all the ear big events going on. >> reporter: now, the other factor that could lead to lower viewership, it it coincides with the start of the nfl season. there is a game tonight with the packers and seahawks. kashkari is expected to bring up several points, including the governor's support for the high-speed rail project. the debate is scheduled to last

unchecked escalation and violence against the citizens of our city. >> the investigation will also examine other law enforcement agencies in st. louis county, but it will be separate from the current investigation into the shooting of michael brown. the unarmed teenager was shot and killed during a confrontation with a police officer. some witnesses say brown's hands were up when the officer shot him. the time is now 7:42. a financial deal to keep the oakland a's and the raiders in oakland may be getting closer. according to the "san francisco chronicle" the plan includes tearing down the coliseum. the raiders would get part of the land to build a privately funded stadium and the oakland a's would get another portion of land it build their own privately funded ballpark. the mayor's office says they may have something to tell us in a couple of weeks. skeptics, though, included nate miley. he is the chairman of the coliseum authority. he has no word on where this would leave the golden state warriors. well, a frightening call to

911 sent a bay area s.w.a.t team into high gear. >> i have four bombs here on the premises. >> but it was all a prank. the graphic threats made and the reason the fbi is now getting involved. but first, misspelled street names etched into san francisco sidewalks. the law city workers say may be contributing the mistakes. good morning. right now traffic is moving along pretty well in some areas, but not so well in others. 280 is one of those not so well areas. a look at the south bay coming up. >> interesting week on the temps. very hot monday. big cool-down tuesday. yesterday we warmed up. what about today? we will show you that in about, oh, six minutes.

welcome back to "mornings on 2". oakland police are backing one of their officers and rejecting allegations of racism by releasing this footage from the police officer's body camera. >> get your hands up! >> that video is dak, hard to see, but police say the audio indicates the police officer followed department policy last month when he responded to a call that the garage door of a fire station was left open. however, an african-american firefighter is accusing the white police officer of racial profiling. firefighter keith jones was off duty at the time when he popped into the fire station with his two sons. >> he approached my kids with his hand on his gun, crotched, and that's the way he approached a 9-year-old and a 12-year-old kid standing out in front of the fire station waiting on their

father to come out. >> you okay? >> i work here. i am in the oakland fire department. >> all right. put your hands down, kids. sorry about that. you can relax, too. >> now, jones has filed a complaint against that police officer who remains on active doubt i. the case is being investigated by police internal affairs. we are learning more about two arrests made in connection with a deadly hit-and-run in pittsburg. we first told but this yesterday morning. at least one of the arrests. police say 29-year-old jorge luis perez was arrested tuesday night on suspicion of felony hit-and-run. he is being held on $50,000 bail. police say this video you see here shows perez driving his pickup truck onto the sidewalk of willow pass road sunday night, hitting and killing 50-year-old michelle bras. the suspect's younger brother, 23-year-old raul munoz was arrested for trying to hide the truck. there is a new spelling

problem in san francisco. the city requires street names to be stamped into the sidewalks at intersections, but what's being etch inside the concrete is often not correct. for example, at 2nd and howard streets, howard is actually spelled backwards. some other street names have letters left out. the problem stems from contractors who are retrofitting curbs to make them complaint with the americans with disability act. one city worker has a theory about the problem. >> the engineering is correct. the right slope. there is not going to be any kind of barriers. people in wheelchairs or walker are not going to trip over. probably how you spell a street name is not given the highest priority. >> the city says it will now send engineers out with contractors who are doing the work on sidewalks and they will be asked to check the spelling of sidewalk imprints with the street signs. now, this follows the mistake we told you with yesterday. typos on two sidewalk plaques

in the castro district. oscar wilde's plaque says he was known for his bitting wit. and transgender is missing the f. the manufacturer says it plans to fix the mistakes. time now 7:48. let's go back to sal. you have got so much stuff ewing dealing with this morning. >> a lot of stuff, yeah. and it's been pretty busy all over the bay and right now we are going to start off with just the typical commutes. san mateo bridge very slow traffic as you drive about 25 minutes between highway 880 and 101. that's pretty typical. it's very slow. dumbarton bridge is slow especially on the east palo alto side. let's take a look at the commute here on westbound bay bridge. what is packed up for a 25 to 30-minute drive into san francisco. once you make it on the bridge it looks good. the metering lights are on at normal speed. 680 southbound has been slow because of earlier problems. no more crashes. but it you are about to get on the road at 680 you will notice

cleaning business on petaluma hill road. water shot out the side of the building as that jeep crashed into gas and waterlines. just a short time ago we talked to one of the business owners affected by this. ktvu's alex savidge in santa rosa with information about the damage and also charges, alex, facing the driver. good morning. >> reporter: dave, good morning to you. santa rosa police say the driver that led them on this early morning pursuit was drunk and in all likelihood that's why he ran. this chase ended with a dramatic crash here where we are this morning. this jeep jumped the curb and slammed into the side of this rug cleaning business. the driver took out the gas main on the outside of the building and that triggered a dangerous leak. pg&e crews shut off the gas. the crash also severed a couple of waterlines as well. this all happened around 12:30 this morning at the intersection of flower avenue and petaluma hill road. three people were inside that suv at the time. the driver and one of his passengers had tok taken to the

hospital -- had to be taken to the hospital with minor injuries. the pursuit got started a couple miles away when the officer spotted the jeep running a red light and the driver refused to pull over. and now this crash has left the master cleaner's rug business with no gas and no water, putting them in a tough spot. >> we wash, you know, 100 plus rugs every week. that's what we do every day long. we use a lot of water for that. we dry the rugs with a gas heater. so we need the gas hooked back up so that we can start drying them once we wash them. >> reporter: the chase lasted only a couple of minutes this morning. but this that time the driver blew through several more red lights, according to police, and nearly hit a bicyclist as well. police say the driver is a 51-year-old man who is from oceanside near san diego. he remains hospitalized right now, but he will be facing charges later of felony evading with reckless driving and also dui. his two passengers, by the way, are not facing any charges.

we did see a pg&e crew at this business trying to get the bass turned back on. we understand that the owner is expected to have all his utilities, gas and water, back on later on today. live in santa rosa, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 must. authorities investigating prank calls to 911 which are straining police resources. >> i have a four bombs here on the premises and i have an entire family. support from leaders now, the prank calls are known as swatting. somebody calls in a fake emergency which leads to the s.w.a.t team rushing in. that call you just heard, that was made on august 19. supposedly from san rafael. then yesterday the marin county sheriff's department says someone claiming to be a teenager said he was being held hostage in fairfax. >> reported to be a 14-year-old juvenile who described his name as john was reporting that he was being held hostage in his

house. his father had gone berserk and had shot his mother and that he was actually hiding inside the house. >> well, when the police officers arrived at that house they quickly realized it was a hoax. investigators say many these calls appear to be coming from the united kingdom, which obviously makes them harder to trace. a rap artist is in the marin county jail on charges of kidnapping a southern california woman and holding her captive. 40-year-old charles mitchell is known as mitchie slick. he is charged with human trafficking, criminal threats, and participating a criminal street gang. sheriff's deputies are not commenting about the case, including how they were led to mitchell. tonight the public gets a chance to speak out on whether berkeley police should carry tasers. the newly formed coalition for a taser-free berkeley is holding a public forum tonight to get input from people who live and work in berkeley. that meeting is deaded for -- scheduled at 7:00 tonight at the media center on addison street.

kent brantley's janine de la vega joins us now from san jose with the new restrictions going into place and the pricey penalty people could face if they break those new rules. janine. >> reporter: well, this is a public notice that is going out to customers of the san jose water company telling them that they need to control their water usage during this drought. now, it does list some of the restrictions and it also tells people that any violators could be fined up to $500. here is some video taken this morning of the sprinklers going off in a grassy area in front of the station where we were earlier this morning. you can see there is a lot of water runoff in the street. that's considered a violation according to the new restrictions put in place by the san jose water company. it wants consumers to reduce water usage by 20% and it's focusing on outdoor watering. people are not allowed to water outdoor landscapes in a way that causes runoffs.

washing a vehicle with a hose that doesn't a shut off nozzle or other device to stop the flow of water is prohibited. water that is not recycled may not be used for detective fountains and watering landscaping more than every other day is not allowed. >> we have a nozzle for, you know, a shutoff nozzle to use when we wash the car, whatever. you try to keep it from running off. my wife is using metered amounts when she does the garden, but is a lot smaller than use. >> last week the san jose city council declared a city-wide water shortage asking residents to cut their usage. while the city is not fining wasters, state rules require water agencies to limit usage and allows them to punish offenders. the santa clara water district has hired ten water cops to monitor usage throughout the county. if the drought worsens tougher restrictions could be put in

goodell has said that he is reserving judgment on the ray mcdonald case until it plays out in court. >> with we are obviously following it very closely. the policy will be applied uniformly. players, coaches, executives, commissioners. >> making this super bowl successful -- >> goodell was criticized for being too lenient on ray rice. rice was suspended for two games after he was seen knocking unconscious his then fiance, who is now his wife. last week goodell created a stricter policy dealing with domestic violence cases. players committing their first offense are subject to a six-game suspension. a second offense could mean a lifetime ban from the sport. now, we posted more of coach harbaugh's question-and-answer session on our website ktvu.com. it is under the hot topics section. time 8:11. a bad collision this morning on a very busy east bay freeway caused traffic jams. coming up at 8:30 the crash involving two buses on interstate 80. how it caused major problems in

for kashkari. they say kashkari hasn't had the funding to put ads out there for people to know him. analysts also say that the governor really doesn't have a strategic reason to debate his opponent and draw attention to the race, but certainly this is an opportunity for kashkari to gain some points on the governor. the issue will be who will be watching? we spoke with political pollster marty camille. >> and the governor agreed to this. but i think it's no coincidence that it's two months before the election on a night when nfl football opens. so there is not going to be a huge viewership. kashkari needs to get headlines after the debate. if there could be something coming out of the debate that's now and can be followed through in the next few weeks, that's about all he could hope for. >> reporter: and as mark dicamilo said there is the first game with the packers and

seahawks. those who will be watching expect kashkari to bring up several points, including the governor's support for the high-speed rail project. the debate will take place inside a studio in sacramento. it is expected to last about an hour. this will be the one and only scheduled debate between both of the candidates. brian flores, ktvu channel 2. >> stay right here with ktvu channel 2 for continuing coverage of that debate. it's tonight 7 p.m. we will have a link to a live stream of the event on our channel 2 website ktvu.com and we'll bring you a live report on the 10:00 news. one of the biggest names in music is rumored to be part of apple's top secret unveiling event next week. you recognize those guys? several tech blogs say the band u2 will perform at apple's big announcement next tuesday. they say that's the reason for the white structure being built
