Oakland mayor libby schaaf is doubling down on her decision to investigate a rope hanging in a tree at lake merritt as a hate crime. Now shes doing so even though the man who put it there claims the ropes were installed to attach swings for people to enjoy. Sebastian, the man who has not begin his last name, told nbc bay area he hopes people would get more clarity before there were more concerns. The mayor said stronger action to that saying her message is clear and not an overreaction. There were five different trees where ropes were removed yesterday and just because his was part of a swing apparatus, that is not clear with all of those instances. Adding more fuel to the fire police took down a fake body and material hanging from a noose at lake merritt. Police say they found an American Flag nearby. The mayor is asking the fbi to investigate. San Francisco Mayor london breed is announcing a pause on new hires and promotions for police and sheriffs departments according to the chronicle this morning. She says the move will make more time for an audit of Law Enforcement exams. The citys Human Resources department will conduct the review which is expected to last three months. According to the latest numbers 48 of sfpds force are white. 17 either hispanic or asian, respectively. 9 are black, 6 filipino. 1. 5 identify as other. Less than 1 are native american. Supporters of Police Reform have reportedly won a temporary injunction blocking Oakland Police and the city from using tear gas and rubber bullets on protesters. A federal judge issued the order yesterday. It also banned flashbang grenades but still allows any of those measures to be taken if necessary to protect people or property. The order will remain in effect indefinitely. So the conversation about race certainly continues. It has right here on nbc bay area. Marcus has been taking the lead on this continuing our special race in america, the conversation, last night. Its one thats touched many peoples lives. Its been a part of my life my entire life, but we want to talk about the special we had. Jessica aguirre is also a part of that. She spoke with San Jose Police chief eddie garcia about his thoughts on the department using rubber bullets. Like what . What would you get rid of . The big thing is like rubber bullets . Should you have those . Well, i think we can, the rubber batons we have, i think we need to narrow the scope of when we can use it. The officers have a difficult job to do and when they can use certain force. Thats what we need to look at. Chief garcia made a point to say that departments need more transparency and to go public on how they use force and who they use force against. Just hearing each other out is a part of all of this moving forward, bringing understanding to the table, laura. I think its something that people need to do and its something that we will continue to do here just to provide that understanding and open dialogue. Right. Its so important to share, educate, listen. That is so important because thats when you can really hear a message and hopefully take something home with it. Thank you for continuing that as well. This is just the beginning for us here at nbc bay area. Were going to keep having these conversations all the time which is so good. So good for our community. Absolutely. This morning many businesses, well, theyre considered high risk. They will be allowed to reopen in Sonoma County and napa counties including gyms, movies theaters, tattoo parlors, museums and nail salons. In Sonoma County certainly Family Businesses like mini golf, hotels and all those shortterm rentals can also open for recreational travel. Traveling Long Distance is still discouraged under the health order. Meantime, masks are now mandatory. No matter where you go in california the governor issuing the order because of the rise in covid19 cases. Kris sanchez is live for us in san jose. Kris, i know a lot of people probably dont like that but its necessary right now. Reporter yeah, and i want to start by saying im not wearing a mask because im not within six feet of anybody out here on the dark streets of san jose so early this morning. That is allowed under the new mask mandate. You might have a lot of questions. I know i did as i was listening to this happening yesterday. So here are the specifics. Businesses, restaurants, hospitals, you have to wear them at work while youre walking through places where you interact with others. We are doing this back at the station. Riding in any sort of Public Transportation you have to wear a mask that includes taxis and ride shares. And outside you only have to wear that mask if you cannot socially distance f. Youre on a trail thats crowded, if youre on a sidewalk where there are other people. The exceptions are that children under 2 dont have to wear the masks. People who have medical conditions dont have to wear masks. Only medical conditions that would affect them wearing one and people who are hearing impaired or communicate with the hearing impaired. You dont have to wear a mask if youre at a restaurant as long as you are social distancing. Your restaurants should be doing that by now. Critics are calling the governors mandate a one size fits all policy they say is just not productive. But certainly a lot of folks are calling for some overriding guidance at the beginning of the pandemic, make it uniform for everybody because so many of us travel between counties, so here we are and it is because the cases are rising. You might be making some mistakes. Make sure your mask fits snugly over your face, you wear it over your nose. As Governor Cuomo in new york city said if you wear is down here thats a chin guard. It is not a mask. Be responsible on how youre wearing it so you can protect yourself and protect others. In san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay. Thanks so much, kris. Today you can officially raise a glass in livermore. More than 50 wineries are reopening, but dont think you can just stop by for happy hour. You have to have a reservation all made in advance. No more than six people are allowed and in accordance to state guidelines each tasting must be accompanied by a meal outside. A little bit of planning to do. That would be nice to get out. Absolutely. In your backyard having a glass of wine. Smaller wine, more for us. The temperatures weve been having, need to drink water. Plenty of water. Chilled. Chilled. Oh, my goodness. Ive been trying to balance both. Fair game. I finally opened that nice bottle of wine, i think just like everybody else around the world, holding out for something. Last week was that something. Microclimate forecast for today is going to be a little cooler in some spots. San francisco, 72. The spots that will probably notice it the most will be areas like i would say san jose. Yesterday we were in the 90s. Today in the upper 80s. Concord was in the upper 90s and today were going to be in the lower 80s. So when i say cooling, i mean it by the degree difference but its still going to be hot. So its not going to be a cool day but slightly cooler compared to yesterdays temperatures. If you are going to be out and about maybe eating al fresco after you do all of your planning, make sure to take your allergy medicine because look at the tree and grass pollen. Well be dealing with that today and into this weekend. Mike . All right, vianey. Im glad for any cooling so relative is fine. Looking over at the maps, a smooth drive and its relatively easy right now to drive around the bay no matter how you measure it its green. Thats good stuff.

Hes a community organizer, a strategist and we talk about what does it mean being the only person of color in a boardroom at a table making decisions. Take a listen. If im the only representative, the one black dude in Silicon Valley at that table, then obviously im not representing not just black people but all of the other folks im supposed to represent, community members, community stakeholders. Theyre not just black, theyre brown, theyre women, theyre lgbtq. There are so many folks that im representing. If my voice isnt there, if im not there, its not going to be talked about.

Today many people are keeping that alive. Joining me is the executive director of the Africanamerican Community Services Agency and milan, thank you for getting up early to talk to us. Good morning, marcus. Lets talk about juneteenth. I know here in the san jose area i know the africanamerican Services Agency sponsors the juneteenth festival and it was the only one in the bay area that was continuing. Talk about why it was so important for you to make sure the event happened. It talks about our freedom in this country and talks about a time when we got together as africanamericans to celebrate, to unite and to empower one another. I think during the pandemic as well as black lives matter it was important to us in the south bay to make sure that we created a space and a place to empower our community. And so talk to me about why its so important to share the story because ive spoken to a lot of people who say i never knew about juneteenth. It certainly wasnt taught in school, i know, coming up for me. How do we share the message to those just finding out about it . Definitely. It is a part of american history. Some would say its black history but juneteenth is history in regards to what freedom means to all people. We need to share in the lesson and it wasnt prevalent at all and so i think that it is important that leaders and states recognize and companies recognize juneteenth and the freedom that goes with that lesson. New york Governor Cuomo actually pushing for that right now. Milan, thank you for being a part of the conversation this morning. Happy juneteenth, everybody. You, too.
