KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 9am February 2, 2017

At some point you say surely when they grabbed the Police Barricades and broke windows and when they went into the city streets theres a hands off approach because its your right to protests but when things get destructive and violent thats when things move in. I will say this. A long time ago when i was a student there and i went to protests there were people who came in from outside who were not students and thats what we saw. Yeah, i cant be sure. I wasnt there but thats what we saw and thats what people are saying the agitators were not students. Thats what police are saying. And Milo Yiannopoulos didnt even speak. So the protestors were successful but they did damage. Alex savage is there. Well get to him in a moment. Earlier this morning Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow which means six more weeks of winter. Were getting a taste of that now. We still have nearly seven weeks of winter. The way things are going we better prepare for that. Back into the rainy patterns and projections that were dry for next week are now very wet. Especially about marin county northward. We need to keep an eye on things here. I tried to do this fast. We picked up over an inch of rain. 45 degrees in saint helena creek. Some of the heaviest rain is in marin county up to the russian river. Saint helena 4800ths. As we head into friday, watch what happens here. Not so much on the weekend. Theres some rain but not a tremendous amount. Next week, this verifies up to ukiah tuesday night into wednesday and thursday. Seven inches of rain around ukiah. 4. 22 in santa rosa which would be 810 at least in the russian river. Less to the south but still, this is something. We took a break and it helped a lot. Wont take long to get things flowing again. Russian river in marin county, its letting up. Three quarters to an inch for some. It looks like its letting up a bit. Were getting a break but things are flying towards us. San jose gusting up to 30 in the southeast. The low is lifting northeast. Watch it take the moisture and screen it towards us. Northern sonoma, i would get ready, its on its way. Mostly cloudy, off and on rain. I would anticipate rain for the next ten days. Heaviest aamounts definitely in the north this time. Back in it. Act at this february, here we go. Today uc berkeley and surrounding community are trying to get back to a night of violent protests. Despite an invitation of a group of campus, Milo Yiannopoulos was prevented from speaking last night. Reporter good morning, a lot of students disappointed by the way things played out last night. School Officials Say its their belief this was a group of outsiders who caused the problems here last night. Were out said the Student Union building here. This was the focus of the demonstration. Windows are smashed out and others boarded up after the protests and everywhere you look, especially here on the plaza, theres damage and clean up going on after an out of control protests here last night. 0 when things started to take an ugly turn, about 6 00 last night. Some in the crowd began setting off fireworks and others set fair to a large portable light stand and generator that had been used to illuminate the plaza. Others were using medal barricades. A demonstration of 1500 people who were voicing opposition to the Milo Yiannopoulos event here that was organized by the College Republicans group. It was a small group of 150 people who caused trouble according to school officials. Officers were forced to fire pepper balls inta the crowd trying to disperse the group. The Uc Berkeley Police chief says they had a lot of extra officers on hand for this event. They anticipated issues and had officers from nine other campuses come in here to help out and when things got out of hand the School Called for help from the Oakland Police department and the Alameda County sheriffs office. The student body president told me hes disheartened by the way the demonstration played out. Its disappointing to see a powerful peaceful demonstration organized by students was coopted by individuals with no relation to the campus, that they would have the audacity to come on the campus home of free speech. We live here, democrats and republicans and anarchists we all live here. Why not make it a better place to live instead of tearing it down . After the violence here, later in the even a group of protestors made their way to Downtown Berkeley where a number of businesses were vandalized and windows smashed out and a starbucks store and the Wells Fargo Bank was damaged. So was a chase branch as well. Back out here to a live picture, still a lot of damage to clean up here. Its being picked up out here now. A lot of paint has been cleaned up on the sidewalks and buildings as well. We see students taking part in the clean up effort. You can tell despite the chaotic scene last night its business as usual. Classes going on as scheduled at uc berkeley. Milo yiannopoulos posted a message criticizing the protestors saying hes disappointed his speech was cancelled. I was evacuated by my security detail and police tonight from uc berkeley. Of course theyre the home of the Free Speech Movement which is ironic and sad this campus appears to be no friend to free speech anymore. He went on to say the left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down. On the phone now is the Berkeley College of republicans. Thanks for joining us. A quick question. Who cancelled the speech . Your organization or Milo Yiannopoulos himself . Or was it the Police Department . I think it was a combination of both. Milo yiannopouloss Security Team did not feel safe and the Police Officers inside the building didnt feel safe. They decided to cancel the event for the safety of students. Your organization paid extra money to bolster the security kwh and i heard someone express frustration with the money you paid extra this event still could not go on. Are you feeling that way . We paid a lot of money. An anonymous donor contributed to help push this event forward. We had support from the university of california. Unfortunately it had to be cancelled. We saw something similar at uc davis. Are you planning on bringing Milo Yiannopoulos back and if you are, what are you going to do differently . If he wants to come back we would love to have him come back. When i walked into the event area i noticed security concerns that were not addressed and we probably recommend solving those and next time hopefully they can continue. Did you extend an invitation with him personally last night . It was interesting, he was very kind to me. We walked together outside the balcony in washington while people threw fireworks at us. He had to abruptly leave. His Security Team combrabed him. The fire alarm went off. They were trying to burn us alive or something. The Security Team grabbed him and he was on his way. I couldnt talk to him further but i would love for him to come back. Whats your reaction to the response from the university Police Department as well as other outside Law Enforcement agencies . Do you feel they did enough to protect the building youre in and the people inside . Actually i believe it was disappointing. Many individuals have expressed the same frustration. We didnt feel like they were doing that much to protect us. They didnt seem motivated to fight to keep this event to proceed. So yes, im very frustrated as well. Its come out that one of the people who caused the destruction on campus were most likely not students. Does that change your mind about the actual Berkeley Students outside peacefully protesting . I disagree with the statement. Ive seen several students out there. Are you saying that professors encouraged violent behavior . Anger and upset and high emotion, thats all fine, just breaking windows and setting things on fire is the problem. I definitely believe they insighted this kind of behavior and reaction by giving them false facts about Milo Yiannopoulos and angering them to the point theyre willing to commit these violent acts. Let me ask you about President Trump. He tweeted about this exact story overnight. I know we have a graphic we will air later. He said if uc berkeley doesnt allow free speech on people with a different view, no federal funds. Do you agree with his statement there . I was very excited to see President Trump respond to the situation. It made me happy we have someone on our side. Its up to him whether or not he wants to do that. I agree there has to be some action taken to stop this behavior. Silence on free speech that goes against the norm of berkeley and their overly peace culture. Have you been on campus . I have not. I have classes soon. Im worried. They followed me home last night. Police cant guarantee my protection. Saw complete lawlessness. The groups on campus posted my face all over online facebook and on twitter. So unfortunately as i was walking home people knew who i was and were shouting things at me. I hope much of the anger died down. They got what they wanted. Thanks for joining us live opt phone here on the 9. Mayor of berkeley issuing a statement about last nights protests. He expressed his disappoint and focused on a small group of protestors believed to be the ones who caused the damage. The mayor said, they also provided the ultra nationalist far right images they want to use to discredit the vast majority of peaceful protestors in berkeley. Moments ago the protest caused damage off campus as well. A while ago we caught up with cal students who decided to help businesses that suffered because of the protests. You saw the protests last night. We were upset by the fact that property was damaged and people were being hurt. We wanted to help out. We got up around 5 00 this morning and have been picking up glass and cleaning up trash. Doing the best we can for the community. The students say there were about 30 of them who decided to right what they saw as a wrong and the whole idea came after a casual comment that they wish they could figure out a way to help out. We have seen this situation happen before. Freeways have been shut down and buildings vandalized and people injured. The very subject of the controversy couldnt take the stage and the event was cancelled. We have been asking you, are disorder and destructiveness the most effective ways to protest . Well keep checking your responses through the day and share them with you here at 9 30. Well be right back after the break. Were southwest, and we have one word for you. Yes. Yes to flying further for less. And yes to new international nonstops. Thats just one more reason were the official airline of the yes coast. And yes you can now fly to more of your Favorite Places from right here. Thats transfarency. sfx clap, clap, ding trump speaks this morning at the National Prayer breakfast in dc. When you hear about the tough phone calls im having, dont worry about it. Its time to be tough. Were taking advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. Its not going to happen anymore. The president also talked about all the controversy over his recently instituted restrictions on immigration and the temporary travel ban on people from 7 muslim majority countries. In the coming days we will develop a system to help ensure those admitted into the country fully embrace our values of religious and personal liberty and they reject any form of oppression and discrimination. The National Prayer breakfast dates back 64 years. The road to confirmation for secretary of education, democrats coming strongly against betsy devos. I cant support this nominee. If all the other republicans senators support her and if the democrats oppose her she would end up with a 5050 vote in the senate. Mike pence would have to break the tie to confirm her. New details on the phone call between trump and the mexican president on friday. We have known since november that President Trumps wife and the youngest son baron wont be moving into the white house right away. The president and the first lady said they didnt want to take their ten year old son out of his school but now theres a report that may not move from trump tower in new york city to washington d. C. When hes on his summer break. U. S. Weekly reports say they decide to reevaluate the situation when the school year is over and will decide what is best for him at that time. Prisoners take over a max security prison in delaware. The deadly end to the nearly 24 hour hos staj stand off. Exploring the changing culture of sex on college campuses. Were live with a sociology professor. Last year the story of brock turner made headlines. Now universities across the country are taking a look at how they handle similar situations. More on the cultural of sex on campus were joins by a associationology professor associationology profess sociology professor. Good morning, is there more casual sex happening on campus these days . . Yeah, its primarily feels that way. Somewhere around the 90s theres this idea that the right way to do college is casual sex. There used to be casual sex all the time and now its the idea that everyone is supposed to be doing it. Is it a double standard that if a man has many conquests than hes a stud and if a woman has a number of partners shes seen as loose lets use that term. Theres a bit of that left. But primarily the idea that when youre having casual sex you dont necessarily have be respectful and if you have a relationship than you do. But we dont necessarily separate women into one kind or the other anymore. You wrote about the brock turner case in which he received a short sentence and never saw prison, you say the definition of meal superiority and entitlement mail. Meal male. Do you think women are essentially telling themselves i should toughen up and it was no big deal or it was a criminal act. I think hook up culture i think women thinks they can do this. Are you tracking how your students are feeling or dealing with sex with the first year . The da shows clearly theres a lot of casual sex right at the beginning and then how it actually plays out often turns out to be not as much as they anticipated so theres a decline over time. A number of campuses have instituted rules where you have to give verbal consent. To some that might almost seem ridiculous that you would exchange consent in the heat of the moment. What do you think about that as a rule . I think its really important particularly when the culture is not supportive of communication. Its really important to try and push back against that. Okay and you say you have read and written that people can be shamed for their lack of Sexual Activity just as we are for our excess activity absolutely. The students who abstain from sex, they often feel isolated isolated. Is there a word who you can give to those students lets say going to college in the coming months. Sure, yeah, absolutely, i think one thing is really important for students to know how they personally feel about casual sex whether its appealing to them or not, that is an okay thing to feel and theres nothing wrong with them.
