If theyre under a lot of duress and stress, and how are they going to come to the next call. San jose residents are providing feedback to help the city find a new police chief.

And i bring my neighbors because i need to speak whats concerning the community . Francisco bueno said. An officer was once a mentor for him in high school and talked about how valuable a positive presence is for youth. Being able to have that connection with police and just kind of having them in my presence and being able to talk with them really helped change my perspective on them.

What were seeing now is a little bit of the votes that come in later.

The bill now moves on to the senate if it passes there. President biden has promised to sign it into law. So if the ban does become reality, what happens then . Then there develops all sorts of new legal questions. So if i try and skirt the ban by like using a vpn, for example uh am i going to be held liable for that .

Reporter denise dador from our sister station in los angeles, has more on her emotional journey and the help that she hopes to provide. Right here in beautiful, beautiful, this moment on the red carpet at this years oscars gave olivia munn an extra reason to celebrate. It may not have happened if she hadnt undergone a Risk Assessment for Breast Cancer in february of last year. On instagram, the actress says she was being proactive and took a genetic test that looks for 90 different Breast Cancer genes. She says she was negative for brca, but her obgyn decided to calculate her Breast CancerRisk Assessment score. Two months later, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form for him. Do it for your baby. Munn may not carry brca 1 or 2, or the dozens of other genes known to raise a womans risk, but doctors remind us there are other genes we cant test for yet there are other mutations that were simply not aware of and other contributing factors that may put one at high risk. Munn then underwent a breast mri. Doctors diagnosed her with luminal b cancer in both breasts, a fairly aggressive cancer that can grow quickly. Rednet breast radiologist doctor Jason Mckillop is not munns doctor, but says the assessment, called the Breast CancerRisk Assessment score, helped the actress and new mom catch it early. Risk stratification certainly contributed to her imaging workup and ultimately her diagnosis on social media, munn says. She would have been unaware until her next mammogram a year later. Munns Risk Assessment score was 37. Doctor mckillops patient don mccarthy score was 25. Anything over 20. Doctors will recommend genetic testing and more specialized imaging, such as a breast mri. They take into consideration your hormones, your age when you first had your period. But there are other contributing factors reproductive history, for instance, breastfeeding uh smoking history. Doctor mckillop says every woman should about getting their Breast Cancer risk assessed. But he reminds us that most Breast Cancer cases are sporadic and often occur in average risk. Women. Virtually all women, all women should be getting screening mammograms on a yearly basis. Starting at age 40, munn underwent a double mastectomy and now, ten months later, she wrote she hopes sharing her story will help others find comfort, inspiration and support. Denise dador, abc seven news. A disturbing story from southern california, where 16 year old School Student says a classmate circulated nude photos of her. Some made it onto a website. The teenager says a former friend secretly took photos of her showering, but also alleges she used i to put her face on other peoples bodies. I, i never thought that if i left the door cracked a little open because my shower gets too steamy, that pictures of me would end up all over my school. Which really got the students so angry. Is her classmate at Calabasas High School has yet to face any consequences. She says the school has told her it cannot disclose whats going on. I believe the school should have reprimanded the student via expulsion. They should not have allowed her to remain on campus, and they should have given me. They should have made me feel safe. In a statement, the superintendent said, quote, we take our student safety very seriously and were in the middle of investigating claims from both students against each other. We have also shared all of the information we have with lost hills sheriffs office, but they dont seem to be pressing any charges at this point.
