So here is a look at the visibility, 2 to 3 miles this morning. And this is the way it looks at san jose and you see it lingering in the air. And the winds are a little faster, at least around 7 to 8 miles per hour, but fairfield at 22, that is the increase in the seabreeze that will bring places that are close to the Golden Gate Bridge and delta some relief this afternoon while the rest of us will have to wait until tomorrow. 60s, 70s and 80s for highs the rest of the accuweather seven be day forecast coming up. And as mike described, there really is no escaping the bad air. And that leaves all of us with a decision, do we venture out and risk it or just stay inside .

For chp officers, a Golden Gate Bridge gate bridge officer and tow truck driver have all been released from the hospital after a possible exposure to fentanyl. They were responding to a calling on the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday afternoon. Here is j. R. Stone. Reporter yellow tape wrapped around this car after a substance inside sent seven people to the hospital including four chp officers, one of whom became unresponsive working to get a car off the Golden Gate Bridge. We located a white powdery substance that we believe to be fentanyl. Fentanyl is an odorless drug. Reporter the california Highway Patrol says those hospitalized may have inhaled the drug saying they received a report of a driver swerving on the bridge. When they arrived, this car was actually stopped along northbound lane on the golden gate. The driver was inside and unconscious. Officers made the decision to clear the lanes and moving the vehicle to the first exit north of the bridge. As soon as they got on to the offramp and he immediately began to feel the symptoms, he immediately went over the air and requested an ambulance for position. Shortly after that is when he went down. Reporter and niche one Golden Gate Bridge patrol officer, the tow truck driver and the initial driver were all taken to the hospital for exposure. Doctors say fentanyl is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine and if this was fentanyl, it could have been deadly. Sadly there are more opoid Overdose Deaths called by fentanyl today than by any other opoid. Reporter narcan was used to treat at least one of those. At last check, everyone except the initial driver has been released. You can see the area where the car in question was, it has been cleared, that car towed along with several other, all of which thousand have to be decontaminated. J. R. Stone, abc 7 news.

And abc 7 news is committed to building a better bay area. And issues of race and social justice are a big part of that. Every day this week, well bring you stories focused on topics impacting minority communities. And well start with the talk, something black parents find as uncomfortable as it is vital. It is both a warning for our children and a set of instructions about interacting with police. But on a deeper level, the talk is a heartwrenching acknowledgement that parents cannot always protect their children. Here is eric thomas. It does break my heart. Reporter and as a human being, what happened to george floyd at the hands of police rocks you to your core. But as a black parent what keeps you up at night is the thought that could have been my dad, my brother or even one of my kids. I have had the official talk, if you will, in segments with my oldest child. Reporter autumn is a senior fellow with the think tank new america, she and her husband, a physician, have three kids, the edde e eldest in eight. She wrote a piece about the tal. Ou didnt think 8 was kind of young for it. Ahink young, but not too early. Reporter it is about alerting children with interactions with police where body language, tone of voice, word choice and other factors in certain circumstances can lead to arrests or worse. Autumn says she felt konl speco to after he saw a snippet about george floyd on tv. He said something to the effect of, you know, is that happening now . Because he thought that it was referencing something from the past. And i said yeah, that is now. And he was also unclear as to why it was a Police Officer who was because when he was in kindergarten, he had been taught that Police Officers are community helpers. Reporter once she got the sociology out of the way, it was time for concrete advice. It is not about if you are right or wrong, it doesnt matter, you cant argue, you have to listen and say yes, sir and be submissive basically. Reporter it is a tough lesson to teach your off springd rights, but it is probably safer not to argue about them during an encounter with police. Now, this story is not meant to make all Police Officers out to be villains intent on hurting people of color. But they are your kids and you wont take any chances, period. When the thing that strikes fear into a potential Police Officer or anyone is your blackness, how do you lay down your weapon when your weapon is your identity. Reporter it is not a new conversation. My folks had it with me in the 70s and you could probably trace it back generations if the not centuries. The difference now is video. Nearly everyone on the street has a cellphone and can produce images to compare against the official narrative of police use of force we baby boomers could imagine what that fatal encounter must have looked like. Now we and our kids can see it and worry about it. Eric are thomthomas, abc 7 news. And abc 7 is going to have more stories like this all week focused on race and social justice as we work to build a better bay area. Todays topic is minorities and policing.
