People walking past the dior store were stunned when they saw the damage. Thats aggressive, thats professional. Its so sad.

We know theres still a need to get support on the streets immediately. Mayor london breed proposed an expansion of San Franciscos reserve Police Officer program to increase foot patrols. Its different than the current sf Police Ambassador program. The difference with the reserves is that they wear uniforms, they can make arrests, they can do a lot more than some of our ambassadors in light of some challenges that we continue to deal with. Having more foot speed on the ground, more officers on the ground is going to help us around public safety. And thats the goal the mayor wants to make the volunteer reserve Police Officer program a paid program. Now, the plan needs to be approved by the San Francisco board of supervisors. If approved, the mayors proposal would allow for the immediate deployment of 30 reserve Police Officers to high profile foot beat assignments through the city in the newsroom, suzanne phan abc seven news.

Retail theft is a growing concern here in the bay area in Alameda County, District Attorney pamela price announced a new team to tackle the problem and address some of the unique challenges the county faces. Abc seven News Reporter answer hassan has that story. It is part of building a better bay area. The evidence illustrates how retail crime can continues to be a big problem in Alameda County and now da pamela price may have a new solution to essentially choke off the demand that is driving a lot of what we see happening in our community is the Alameda County District Attorneys office is putting together a first of its kind organized Retail Theft Prosecution Team funded by 2 million from a state grant and a matching 2 million from the das office. Our goal is to dismantle, disrupt it, and deter this type of activity. This criminality from occurring and where appropriate, to divert those that are engaging in this type of criminality. Da price says. What will be different is an attempt to connect the dots between other facets of organized retail crime when its not on its surface, just the theft of a good but there are Intricate Networks behind the scenes, people engaging in multiple acts of unlawful conduct, whether it be stealing a car to then engage in the theft activity. Our team will utilize different investigative tools to make those connections. Those include monitoring suspect patterns and conduct, analyze data to support investigations and partnerships between Law Enforcement agencies, advancing prosecution on a specific track where the same District Attorney is going to represent that case through every major stage as it advances through the criminal legal system. Thats what makes this makes this first of its kind for Alameda County da price, says Alameda County also faces some unique challenges that make it vulnerable to organized retail theft, including its size and geographic location. Proxy committee that we are to so many other major cities. You know, we are the thoroughfare and as well as the stopping place. The das office also points out that the project will take months to train on and even longer before real results are achieved.

Breaking news. Congressman Steve Scalise has ended his bid to become the next speaker of the house. Hed been nominated but was struggling to secure enough votes from fellow republicans to be elected. Scalise broke the news just a short time ago. I just shared with my colleagues that im withdrawing my name as a candidate for the speaker designee. If you look at over the last few weeks, if you look at where our conference is, theres still work to be done, our conference still has to come together and is not there. There are still some people that have their own agendas. And i was very clear we have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs. This country is counting on us to come back together for this house of representative needs a speaker and we need to open up the house again. But clearly, not everybody is there without a speaker. The house cannot conduct business. Its been nine days since members removed Kevin Mccarthy from the role. Scalise wouldnt answer. When asked who he will endorse for speaker. Well move now to the latest on the conflict in the middle east. Israel today swore in a unity government following last weekends surprise attack by hamas. The total number of dead from both sides is now at 2800 and thousands more wounded. 27 american citizens have died in the violence and another 14 are missing. You us secretary of state Antony Blinken is in the region. He met with israels Prime Minister today before heading to jordan. He says they discussed military support from the United States, but also the dire situation for People Living in gaza. We did discuss ways to address the humanitarian needs of People Living in gaza to protect them from harm while israel conducts its legitimate Security Operations to defend itself from terrorism and to try to ensure that this never happens again. There are efforts underway to rescue the 150 or so people taken hostage by hamas and other militant groups. Israel continues to build up its forces for a likely ground offensive in in gaza, and Law Enforcement around the country here at home is preparing for protests and possible violence after hamas issued a call to all supporters to hold a day of action. Obviously, if anything turns violent, we will stand for that and well take appropriate action in order to protect lives and property. But people are coming out to make their voices heard and practice their First Amendment rights. We will absolutely facilitate those and well be on hand to make sure its done in a in a peaceful and safe manner for anyone who comes out. Many local and federal Law Enforcement agencies across the us are stepping up patrols of jewish houses of worship. Jewish owned businesses and israeli diplomatic buildings. Now, coming up at 630, youre going to hear from a man looking for his sister in law. She went to the Music Festival near the border with gaza last weekend. He has not heard from her since, but he is certainly not giving up hope. All right. Now to a story from the i team, San Francisco police may consider using a new tool thats described as flying handcuffs, aptly named. Its a remote restraint device known as the bolo wrap, designed to be an alternative to lethal weapons. But critics say the until the i team may not be as safe as promise. Yeah. Reporter stephanie sierra saw a live demonstration from the companys ceo and joins us live to show us how it works. Steph thats right. Ill tell you, its loud and its fast, but its a handheld device that operates like a lasso inside. It has a cartridge like this that deploys a cord with sharp anchors at the end. And ill tell you, these are very sharp. The idea is officers would have it on hand as an alternative to using a taser baton or even a gun. So is it really safer . We asked experts on both sides, im not going to jail. Im not going to hospital either, sir, i need you to turn around and put your hands behind your back. No, sir. Im not going back to the hospital. And put your hands behind your back. Youre going to get wrapped. No, im the hospital wrap. Wrap, wrap. That was not a gunshot, but the deployment of whats called a bolo wrap, a nonlethal alternative to a taser gun or baton. Its been described as kind of flying handcuffs. Its an electronic handheld lasso device that shoots out a 7. 5ft cord that wraps around the intended target with two anchors that look like fishing hooks. It requires a three foot clearance around the person to properly deploy, pull that back. I tried it myself. Hold it tight. Its loud and its fast at shooting out about 400ft per second. I turned the device on. You see, theres a seven point laser here. So where that is displayed is where that will point to the individual while allowing the officer to know this is the wrap zone. Kevin mullins is the companys ceo. So typically you see a wrap zone kind of mid thigh to ankle or just above the elbow to the wrist. The device has been pitched to the San Francisco Police Department with the idea officers would deploy it if dealing with individual males who are noncompliant, undergoing a Mental Health crisis or on drugs. I truly believe no other city in the world could benefit as much from bolo wrap as what San Francisco would. Each device costs around 1,300 and is now being used in 1100 Law Enforcement agencies across the us, including 60 in california and the bay area. Like the san mateo and Solano County sheriffs offices and the walnut creek, menlo park and pinole Police Departments allowing that individual to be detained without pain or injury. You might get a slap on the hand or a slap on the head with something, but its not going to be catastrophic. Its not gonna be a major injury, like something going to your eye or Something Like that. My issue is losing an eye. Retired 29 year veteran lapd detective and use of force expert Timothy T Williams disagrees as it wraps around the legs. Its it wraps around the torso if youre not deployed properly, it could also wrap around the facial area. It could cause permanent damage to the eyes. You know, you talked about how its non pain inducing. What about the concerns some have raised about the hooks, possibly hitting someones eye or the ropes scraping someones neck for example . Well, we work on a lot of training, you know, and thats part of what our protocol is, is we have Different Levels of training out to an agency. What about incidents of choking . Have you had any of those . It never had an incident like that. Its just physics wont allow it. It will wrap, but its not going to wrap tight enough around the neck to be able to choke. And then its not going to constrict. How can you be sure it doesnt get into someones eye . Its by turning the laser on. Its extremely accurate. Its extremely consistent. Well, what happens if their aim is off right, in a fast moving situation they ever had that happen . Heres another perspective. I mean, its the same narrative all the time. They are interested in making a profit. They are not interested in public safety. So theyre going to say whatever they need to in order to push their product forward, williams points out the companys demonstrated actions online and in person show someone with their skin covered. But if a person doesnt have the benefit of that, covering, then those barbs will go into the skin. Mullen says the anchors have a safety cap on the end that would prevent any penetration. The worst thing you may potentially see is if one of those small anchors were to go through the clothing and catch the skin on, the worst thing you would see would just be a bandaid, a very small prick and he says the company has never had any report of serious injuries. Weve had no lawsuits, no deaths, unlike tasers. The company says bolo wraps are not considered to be electronic control devices or ecds. In fact, mullen says 98 of the interactions between subjects and Law Enforcement are not considered uses of force. It is really unnecessary. But concerns have been raised about the effect those sharp anchors and loud noises that could easily be mistaken for a gunshot may have on individuals struggling. Have been shield. Now you guys ready . Like this video published by the company . Mola mola, mola where you see the eriPolice Department in pennsylvania responding to a call from a mom whose autistic son was outside throwing objects at cars. Bola, bola, bola. We shared it with dr. Tomoya hirota, a child psychiatrist and the medical director of ucsfs autism center, and dr. Lawrence fung, assistant professor of psychiatry at stanford. Its really hard to see dr. Fung thinks the bola wrap could overstimulate anyone undergoing a Mental Health crisis. Im a bit worried about if we say this is a great device and then we just use it without considering any other options. Dont go to the hospital. Same situation in this other video from missouri where the columbia Police Department responds to a trespassing call at a local Convenience Store that turned into an attempted break in. They get bullied. Bola, bola, bola. The more aggressive the intervention may be, the worse the reaction from person that may have intellectual disability or other Mental Health conditions. So you can see strong arguments on both sides here. While the idea itself sounds like a simple solution, things are never simple in San Francisco, it would be a complicated process to get this passed. First, needing approval from the police commission. But i will say mullen says chief scott was impressed and even got wrapped himself a couple of interesting see what its like. Exactly. And i want to show you guys fascinating just how sharp these anchors are. Yeah, they are like fishing hooks. Yeah. Well, its a fascinating technology, i have to say. It is. And it moves quickly. As you saw in the clips there. So well see how this moves forward. Yeah, thanks. Keep us posted. Thanks stephanie.

Bmo may see the sun and moon in alignment in whats called an annular Solar Eclipse. Pretty spectacular. And abc7 news south bay reporter Dustin Dorsey has more on this phenomenon known as the ring of fire. When you get up saturday morning, make sure to look up. Our skies will be transformed during a rare annular Solar Eclipse, passing right by parts of the western us, including here in the bay area. This is an opportunity to see a very rare event and that is an occasion when the moon actually is between the earth and the sun. From our point of view. And can actually get in front of the sun and block a large portion of it. In this case for a couple of hours. Its known as the ring of fire for three hours saturday morning, starting around 8 a. M, the sun will begin to be blocked by the moon during its orbit. Its path is much closer to us here in the bay area compared to the 2017 total Solar Eclipse and the one coming in april 2024. Thats good news for us because around 930 well see the moon cover about 70 of the sun. Since the sun will still be visible, you can only look at it through special eclipse glasses or through pinhole cameras. These can be naturally made from using the shadows of trees or even homemade.
