Its the worldfamous spot to celebrate 4 20, but with no official celebration at hippie hill, will people show up anyway . And an east bay theater is a little bit harder to see tonight, why the owner is cutting the lights on his entire business. Good morning, it is saturday, april 20th, im kenny choi. We start with Mario Gonzalez , prosecutors have filed felony charges against three Alameda Police officers who have been previously cleared of wrongdoing. Body camera video caught the encounter in an alameda park in 2021, officers were investigating a possible theft. They talked to gonzales for about nine minutes before attempting to restrain him, he appeared to be incoherent and resisted arrest. An officer pinned him on the ground for five minutes before he fell unconscious, the coroners report ruled that gonzales died from the toxic effects of methamphetamine and the physical stress of the restraint. His family has insisted there is more to it. We spoke with them in alameda last night as they celebrated his life and praised the new decision to press charges. Reporter it has been three years since Mario Gonzalez died, but the vigil was filled with hope, that is because his family just got news from the d. A. S office that they will be filing charges. April 19th will always be a sad day for the gonzalez family, back in 2021, Mario Gonzalez died in Police Custody but for the family, it goes beyond tragedy, they always felt his death was a crime. His mother, edith says she thinks about him every day. My son is not here no more, but im here, im still fighting for him. My son jerry here and his son, seven years old, we are always missing him. Reporter the vigil was also a celebration with flowers, food and even traditional aztec dancing and drummers. She says this year she actually feels lighter, that is because she recently received a call from Alameda CountyDistrict Attorney pamela prices office saying they will be filing Involuntary Manslaughter charges. s thank god they opened the case again. Reporter she said it feels like a gift on the day that marks the hardest day of her life. This is my present today, when i received the phone call that they reopened the case. Reporter is convicted, the officers could face up to four years in prison. A family friend says it is a start. We all know that obviously we need more justice but that is a step in the right direction to hold the Police Officer accountable. Reporter his brother, jerry hopes these charges prevent other similar situations from ever happening again. It is definitely a step in the right direction, and like i said, after they get out, they should be forced to find another career. Reporter the family says they will continue to mourn his loss and remember his legacy forever. The alameda vice mayor telling us that he thinks those officers took meticulous care in how they approach to gonzales, much unlike the officers in the george floyd case. The Police Officers clearly in the video did not enter the situation in a state of anger, they were just trying to understand what happened. I feel that it was a tragic case but not necessarily a case in which are Police Officers acted in a way that requires this level of response by the d. A. I think it is a symbol that it might make are Police Officers hesitant. The Alameda County sheriff said in a statement that she supports the findings that her office made in 2022 before she took over and says the former d. A. Made an appropriate call determining that there was no criminal wrongdoing in this case. Across the bay in San Francisco, prosecutors say a woman was arrested for peddling drugs outside the main library. The d. A. Office tells us investigators seized about a quarter pound of heroin and meth and they arrested her wednesday. It comes as the Library Workers have been demanding help dealing with the crime spilling into their workplaces. Some are so frustrated that they took to the picket lines last week, one worker told us that she had to deal with a man Walking Around the library with a weapon threatening to stab people. He started threatening a large group of preschoolers who were sitting on the floor and he was cussing at them and threatening them with this weapon. I felt a strong sense of duty to protect the people, and stepped between the man with the weapon and the children. He was aiming it right at my chest and i said, no thank you. If he had not left, i may not be standing here today. Library workers are asking the city for more security guards saying some people dont even want to bring their children to the library because of the conditions.

Everyone came from all around and they would shop and this was such a great thing and it has changed in the last 10 years dramatically, it is very different. Reporter alicia is always happy to see more foot traffic here but like a lot of merchants, 4 20 also brings uncertainty and this years lack of an official event only means more questions like how many people might be coming. I really have no idea, the Merchant Association we all talked about it, and it looks like it is going to be sort of the same. I think itll be good for the merchant corridor here. Reporter Michael Xavier knows a Little Something about the crowds, he runs the haight street fair and he says the scene tends to evolve yeartoyear. A lot of people didnt like the fencing of the whole thing, they felt it disrupted the natural spontaneous gathering that it was. Reporter and in some years, the crowd, the weather and the drugs and alcohol added up to be a little bit too much for this neighborhood. That became a problem, too. Like the alcohol and whatnot, it just becomes too crazy. Reporter if you have been following the saga over the years, you know it is not just haight street that this event descends upon, it includes the fashionable haight adjacent valley, which has a lot of problems. How long have you been sitting in this . For about 30 minutes, every year this happens.

Wow one of the expenses is to close the theater on monday and tuesday, days where they see less than 30 customers per day. A lot of people dont know it, but the studios take anywhere from 60 to 67 of ticket sales, so to cover 240, that would be at least 47 moviegoers to cover the bill.
