There may not be a video record of the events leading up to the accidental shooting that left a bart Police Officer dead. According to the San Francisco chronicle officers on scene were not wearing their lapel cameras or did not have them turned on. Bart patrol officers have had the cameras since last summer and they are trained to use them in any enforcement action. If you capture some event or an object on video and its a system that cant be tampered with, its in also refutable what you see. Plain clothes detectives are not required to wear the cameras but uniformed officers are. At least two officers in uniform were on scene during tuesdays search in dublin.

Mike morgan, an engineering geologist told state lawmakers his supervisors covered up structural problems. In a report, commissioned by the state senate, a project official reportedly told an engineer not to document concerns but to voice them instead. Caltrans says this adds up to a difference of opinion, not a cover up. After it was discovered, it quickly became apparent to me that the problem was being kept secret and ignored or covered up. I have no evidence or no reason to believe that there was any coercion or anything like that and bullying to make determinations. Well caltrans says the bay bridge is structurally safe and the quality was not compromised. There will be another Senate Hearing next month. That one dealing with possible reforms for caltrans.

Thats the horn section, you know . The second nominated work is written by six time grammy winner vince mendosa. I get to start the whole piece with what could be akin to a funk guitar meeting the strings. Thats the piece. Called funky diversion its down right funky. Mendoza in particular is different from anything ive ever played.

Shes in and out of my room constantly. Her father fought in the vietnam war with the americans, but the fighting for him continued at home here. Finally, he left, and the money problems started. My mom couldnt speak english, she didnt know how to read, she barely could get a job. Her mom worked late into the night. Then when nancy was in high school, her mother developed cervical cancer. The doctors told me that she had six months to a year to live and that i should probably spend as much time as possible with her before she actually like passed away. The teachers at school created her safety net. Five or six adults just became immediately focused on figuring out exactly what was going on with her, getting her as much help as we possibly could. Nancy went to work to help pay the bills. And she learned a big lesson. Its okay to have people reach out to you. Its okay. You reach out if you need help. Its okay if you cry.

New this morning a car slams into two homes in antioch causing major damage. Witnesses say the car was speeding when it crashed into the corner of the first house, check out that damage. Part of the wall no longer there, so the car then flipped, hit the second home and landed upside down in its front yard. The woman that was inside that home actually slept through the entire ordeal. She has dementia and she doesnt sleep, so she takes sleeping pills and i walked in there and checked to see if she was okay, and asked her if she was okay and she said yes and went right back to sleep. Wow i guess thats kind of good. Before hitting the second home the car took out a pg e power box that knocked out power in the area for a bit. Police do not think the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol but they say speed was the cause of that accident. No major injuries were reported. Well developing in benetia, an Elementary School teacher in serious trouble for bringing allegedly a potlaced dish to a pot luck. 47 year old theresa badger brought the dish to a Holiday Party held back in november, for teachers from Matthew Turner elementary. Well after the party several of the 20 people there began feeling ill. Hospital blood tests confirmed the presence of thc, the active ingredient in marijuana. Badger was arrested yesterday. Her neighbors shocked. What im hearing from you guys is totally out of character. Theresa is about as kind, shes a dedicated teacher. Shes someone who keeps to herself. They werent with the only ones that got sick. Someone at the party took food home and a 15 year old became ill after eating the allegedly laced food. Badger is facing three felony counts of poisoning. There may be no video record of what lead up to the accidental shooting that left a bart Police Officer dead. The San Francisco chronicle reports officers on scene werent wearing their lapel cameras or didnt have them turned on. Brian web has that story. Reporter when one bart officer shot and killed another bart officer this week, other officers on scene should have been recording video of what happened. Saw it as what was or was not captured, again i would have to defer to the Alameda County Sheriffs Department who is conducting that investigation. Bart patrol officers have been equipped with these cameras since last summer, trained to use them during any Enforcement Actions including searches like the one that ended with Bart Sargent Tom Smith killed by friendly fire. If you capture some events or an object on video and its in a system that cant be tampered with, its irrefutable what you see. Pain clothes detectives are not required to wear the cameras but uniformed officers are, at least two officers in uniform were on scene during tuesdays search. My personnel trained for these type of scenarios and what they did, how they approach that apartment is in accordance with our training. But if reports are right and no video exists, it raises a red flag for oakland attorney john burris. He represented oscar grants family after the infamous shooting. When a camera is supposed to be on and its not on you have to wonder about why it wasnt on, and it also unfortuntely eliminates a quasi piece of evidence. Brian web, kpix5. Bart officers began using body cameras in large part because of that deadly shooting at the fruitdale station five years ago. Were learning more about a man killed by a cal train this week in santa clara. He was a Good Samaritan trying to save someone else. San jose mercury news reports 35 year old film schultz was on the tracks trying to pull another man up. Investigators say that man did not want to leave leading both men to get hit by the train. Schultz died in the second victim remains in the hospital. Schultz was a marketer. U. S. Athletes, coaches and officials are being warned to watch what they wear. Russia has increased security in sochi because of the threat of terrorists attacks and Olympic Committee from several countries have received threats by email this past week. So now the state department is warning people not to wear clothes that have usa logos on them. Away from the o limb p pick venues at least. To be clear, we generally give this kind of guidance around Big International events particularly if there is some kind of threat like we see here. The games start in less than two weeks and during them, american athletes will be under the watchful eye of u. S. Security officials. New this morning, pope francis is thinking about visiting the u. S. Next year. Sources at the vatican say its not official but the religious leader is looking to make a trip in september of 2015. The primary motive for this visit would be the eighth edition of the world meeting of families and that the an event held every three years in various parts of the world. Here is a story youll see only on kpix5. One group has a new recommendation to stop the spread of hiv. They want the city of San Francisco to start handing out crack pipes. Now the Health Department was looking into it and told joe vasquez started asking questions. Reporter hayley harris, 28 years old, says she is a crack cocaine addict, a group considered at high risk for spreading hiv. I have friends that have hiv and most of the conversations they have is i dont care, you know, and im going to die anyway. Could handing out clean crack pipes make a difference in that attitude . It may seem counterintuitive but its a great program. Laura thomas is a member of the hiv prevention and planning council, a group made a formal recommendation to San Franciscos Health Department asking the city to consider a program to distribute free crack pipes to crack addicts. How will it work . Well its not exactly like the Needle Exchange programs which are universally accepted as a means to prevent the direct spread of hiv crack pipes are different. You cant get hiv from sharing crack pipes. Harris says giving them out for free as is being done on a trial basis in seattle and in several cities in canada is more than outreach effort. Once you can bring people into your program, make them feel respected, taken care of, then theyre more likely to want to come back and want to get on hiv meds. Meds which have recently been proven not to just treat hiv but prevent the spread of the disease. Insane. I think its an insane idea. Armeet dillon is charm of the San Francisco republican party. Im concerned the message were sending to these Vulnerable People is we give up, here is free crack pipes. Who knows, next year its free crack. Kpix5. Well Health Department officials originally told kpix the city was just exploring the program, but then we got this statement from mayor ed lees office, mayor lee is not wear of this exploration and is not supportive. There are many other hiv interventions that could and should be explored before ever considering this. Barbara garcia, the Cities Health director went a step further saying that recommendation has not come to me and im telling you that if it did, i would say absolutely no. We are not going to distribute crack pipes. The death of a patient is leading to big changes in safety and security procedures at San Francisco general hospital. Lynn spalding disappeared on september 21 and her body was found more than two weeks later in a stairwell in the hospital. Now the hospitals new safety plan includes more thorough searches and alarms in those stairwells. The changes were checked out by federal officials this week.

You have a child thats in danger and you have to do something. What does it mean to have a child thats out of control . Its not a replacement for professional help. Willows is about parents helping parents, whether its finding the right program or helping them prepare for a childs return to the family. Janet and herbal volunteer board have been there.

Wouldnt that be nice. Whether it is a credit card or cable tv, Companies Often offer those special promotions to entice you to sign up. Do they ever but when directv did not deliver one eastbay viewer called us on the consumer watch. Reporter Dave Whitbeck likes tv, and he likes to travel. Happened to be a frequent traveler. So when he saw this directv promotion offering 30,000 united miles to new customers who switch over from another service, he called up to enroll. I specifically said that im coming over to directv specifically because of the miles. But one month later, dave got a let down. They told me that unfortuntely, you called the wrong number when you signed up so we cannot give you your miles. And hes not the only one. We found similar complaints online from people who say they didnt get their miles from directv either. If you called the right number that would have been the companies time to tell him, youve called the wrong number. Norma garcia of Consumer Union says most promotions do require customers to jump through a fair number of hoops. Make sure that you keep notes about everything youve done to satisfy the conditions. But dave was sure he had. I called the number on the promotion. He says he was then transferred several times. So, after a few more calls to directv he contacted consumer watch and we reached out to directv. The Company Still contended dave called the wrong number, but after reviewing recordings of his calls, its now acknowledges their representatives did tell him he qualified for the deal. A deal that may depend not on the number you called but on the one you reach. Directv has now agreed to give him a 30,000 miles but notes, calling correct promotional number is important because all agents do not have access to all of the offers. And remember, if you have a Consumer Complaint give us a call 8885 helps you. Oh, the red tape. Well here is a question, how does super bowl monday sound to you .

Now weve got mid 60s to low 700s today but over next seven days going to be dry, going to be relatively warm, until we get to the middle of next week. Then those clouds are really going to start rolling in, and theres a chance we could see, now this is seven days out so still a little early but we could see showers later on in the week but allin all dry until then. It eventually has to happen. I was talking with our weekday morning weather guy and he says theres this Ridge Holding off the rain and it is going to be moving out sooner rather than later hopefully within the next week.

I closed the door and i looked, a bear i dove up the steps. Bob how scared were you . You just see a bear, ive never encountered a bear. [laughter] just having a good time. Dont think he abandoned irene. She was safe inside the car. Bob got grazed on just his leg there but he is doing okay. Sounds like enough to send bob back to ireland. I love his accent.
