By way of live doppler 7 sky 7, you can see the smoke is bending a bit, which would indicate the wind is relatively forceful, but again, its not terribly gusty, but even gusts between 10 and 15 Miles Per Hour can make firefighting and containment difficult, and ill keep tracking conditions there and update you as we get more information in. All right, thank you. You can see the helicopter doing a water drop there just a few moments ago. Want to stay with the signal from sky 7, that fire burning on Holland Tract road near the brentwood marina. Spencer was discussing the wind has caused this fire to burn at least 40 acres even though its only gusting at most at about 10 Miles Per Hour. You can see a lot of cars in that area, some boats because this is right up against the berkeley marina. And brentwood marina, brentwood marina, my mistake. You can see some of the buildings in that area could be buildings that are used for storage of boats. But we have not gotten that confirmed at this point. Well keep an eye on the fire and bring you updates as they do come in to our newsroom. With that, we say good evening. Im larry beil. Im ama daetz. Now to the coronavirus pandemic. Governor newsom shared some cautious notes of optimism today. This script has not been written. We have the ability to write it. That means our fate is in our own hands. The United States nearing a milestone of 4 million coronavirus cases. There are more than 3. 8 million currently, according to Johns Hopkins university. California has more than 391,000 cases. There is some good news, though, after seeing more than 9,000 new cases each on saturday and sunday, that number dropped to about 6,800 today. The total number of people infected with covid19 in the bay area and including Santa Cruz County right now, at about 41,000, and again, we always point out some of the cases are people who have recovered. Today, the governor addressed the states response to the pandemic, sharing how certain covid trends seem to be stablealizing, but as a state, he says were far from where we really need to be. Abc 7 News Reporter stephanie sierra joining us live in the news room, breaking down the latest numbers. Certainly a soberig update. 91 of the states population is now on the watch list. This, of course, includes all bay area counties with the exception of san mateo. Heres where we stand today. That is my hope and intention, is that we bend the curve as we did the first time in this pandemic, and we do it again as were dealing with this flareup. We hear the governor talk about the states flareups every day. Flareups as in spikes in covid cases. The positivity rate, icu admissions and hospitalizations. All of which reported between a 10 to 16 increase over the past two weeks. Not what we want to hear. Especially for hospitalizations. But if you take a closer look at the numbers, over the past 14 days, the rate of growth for hospitalizations actually declined from 50 to 16 . 50 , 28 , to 16 . Thats an encouraging sign. Encouraging, but as the governor pointed out, not the real decline we want. We are seeing a reduction in the rate of growth, but a rate of growth nonetheless. Whats also growing is the wait times for testing. Dr. Ghaly admitting the current turnaround time for nonpriority tests. Quite long, 13, 14 days. Which is why the Testing Task Force is changing the distribution process. In some ways, its match making between where the tests are being collected and where they can be processed to bring down that test turnaround time. Until we can turn around into some sense of normalcy, the governor reenforced everyone has a job to do. Personal responsibility in terms of the work were all doing, in terms of physical distancing, in terms of not mixing with cohorts outside of our household and wearing Face Coverings. The governor also mentioned the states death rate, which is measured over a period of seven days, has declined slightly from an average of 102 last week to 91, as of today.

That video is now part of a federal civil rights lawsuit filed over the weekend against the Police Department accusing officers of excessive force. Dan noyes spoke with several of those plaintiffs a month ago and joining us live now with the latest. Dan. Larry, after what happened, we knew a lawsuit was coming, and here it is with seven plaintiffs involved who suffered injuries after San Jose Police fired those projectiles. The lawsuit filed in federal court accuses San Jose Police of violating protesters civil rights, injuring them with rubber bullets and other projectiles during five days of protests. Protesters have a First Amendment right under the u. S. Constitution to be out peacefully assembling and protesting. Attorney Sarah Marinos complaint on behalf of seven plaintiffs says the sjpd unjustifiably declared peaceful protests unlawful assemblies to excuse their tactics. On the first night of protests, brianna contrar eswas hit in the face with a projectile. Derrick tried to calm the situation. You see him with his hands up, but an officer shot him in the groin with a rubber bullet. He may never have children. Sandra lynn is a Community Activist who trains Police Recruits about implicit bias and procedural justice. The way they have treated everyone out there over the weekend has been really heartbreaking. During the following nights protest at San Jose City hall, shauntay thomas yelled at police from the third floor of her apartment. They were bullying them, basically. They are untouchable, they can do what they want, and nobody can do anything about it. Police responded by filing 13 projectiles, breaking her windows. I aint doing nothing. Oh. Im gonna sue. June 2nd, jt was out protesting after a curfew when police unleashed a buraurj of rubber bullets and foam batons. The complaint says an officer tripped him and that Officer Police fired when he was on the ground leaving contusions including a nineinch bruise on his leg. The lawsuit also says officer jarrett uen who has been placed on leave for taunting protesters and firing his riot gun has not been trained inilities use for more than five years. The manufacturing requires certification every two years. Its really concerning that officers are out there equipped with deadly weapons, and they had received no training. Unacceptable. San jose police chief eddy garcia declind to be interviewed, but shortly after the protest and the uproar that followed, he banned the use of rubber bullets against protesters and promised other reforms. Youll not here were perfect particularly in the face of chaos. Im sure we have made mistakes and well hold ourselves accountable to those mistakes.

Union power. After a rally outside the hospital, the group marched through the streets calling on the Alameda County board of supervisors to retake control over Alameda Health system. Also in oakland, workers at a mcdonalds held a strike. One worker says its not just a sign of solidarity but also to call attention to the covid19 crisis. Now to a caught on camera moment thats get aglot of attention online. Abc 7 news anchor deion lynn spoke to two of the parties involved about what really happened in this heated exchange. It was infuriating. This viral video was taken by a latino woman who doesnt want to reveal her name at the corner of bay and stockton streets in San Francisco late sunday morning. Get in the car showing what appears to be a woman with a partner yelling and getting awfully close to a black man stopped at the intersection. The woman even appearing to many online observers to spit in the mans face. Some thinking he spat on her as well. But before we get any further, its no secret that these caught on camera incidents have just dominated the news lately. In this case, though, looks can be desiving. No, she did not spit on me. It may look that way, and trust me, if she would have spit on me, it would have been a whole different ball game. It was more of a cough than a spit. Carlton, who is choosing not to use his last name, is the man in the silver mercedes. He said the couple in the other car were tailgating him and at a stop sign got out, but despite hearing the woman accuse him on not being able to afford his car, the barrage of comments from social media dont accurately depict what happened. Ill make one thing clear. She never said the nword. She never said anything racial, a slur, anything to me. While carlton admits he was in the wrong for aggressively responding i hold myself responsible for not defusing the situation the way i felt like i should have done. He says he didnt spit on the woman either. And he also doesnt want
