This is a temporary but solid pipe that has been built and snakes all the way back behind the Mobile Home Park. They are using it to siphon all the water from the park into city drains. Because it is solid, you can see they have trucks parked right here. Thats because vehicles will not be able to pass through the main strans to the park. Its just one more inconvenience for these residents of these ongoing storms. The temporary Drainage Pipe leads to this spot near the offramp.

Reporter we asked those demonstrators at Police Headquarters about that fact that there will be no officerinvolved shooting and they cited the history of police. They were not looking at the recent history u. Behind me youre seeing dozens of folks starting to gather. This is being called a violent procession for peace. This is one of three locations where folks are gathering. We understand they will light candles and march single file around the lake to form a ring of sorts around the lake. This demonstration is expected to be peaceful just like the one at oakland Police Headquarters, which was very disruptive and ended by 1 00. But only after police made about 25 arrests. The driving rain did not discourage nearly 200 protesters from an Early Morning blockade of the oakland Police Headquarters. A move police admit they didnt expect. It was clearly well planned. While some protesters chained themselves to the front doors of Police Headquarters, one man scaled a flag pole and displayed a flag depicting the faces of black men kill ed by police.

A Police Officer is now on leave after controversial tweets about those protests. Officer whites tweets were aimed at people protesting Deadly Police brutality. They are creating a real fire storm. Lets go to vick lee with the story. Reporter the posts on officer whites accounts can no longer be accessed by the public, but they were already captured by others in the media which displayed other posts officer white made previously on on the ongoing demonstration. Since the tweets were revealed, theres been a lot of criticism in social media and theres been repurr cushion now. Officer white was not only a cop, he was also an assistant basketball coach. The school fired him today. But thats the least of his troubles. Officer phillip whites tweets read, threaten me or my family and ill use my. Right and duty to kill you. Copslivesmatter. If anyone feels they cant breathe or their lives matter, i will be at the movies tonight offduty carrying my gun. The reaction was quick and predictable. The reverend sits on the Police Community advisory board. He was with other leaders of civil Rights Groups at their regular meeting. Everyone here had read the tweets. The fear is he tweeted this to some other friends. So there are other officers that are part of this tweet. The Police Officers association disavowed the postings. Offensive and inappropriate comments on social media have no place in the Public Discourse revolving the tragic loss of life around the country. We condemn these comments. Reporter someone filed a complaint with the judge. That triggers a Police Internal affairs probe, which will look into whether whites tweets violated a tweets order which warns from posting on social media that would reflect against the department. White may have also violated the duty manuals policy on conduct unbecoming an officer. Basically the rule says officers are not to engage in that kind of conduct either on duty or off duty. The Police Department today placed white on administrative leave saying in a statement his tweets do not reflect the thoughts or feelings of the men and women here at the Police Department. Nor do we condone this type of behavior. Vick lee, abc 7 news.
