along with demonstrators at the university as they moved in to clear protesters from siemens hall on campus. ruiz was detained, photographed and transported from the scene by local law enforcement, losing one of the phones she was using to broadcast and record what was unfolding in front of her. >> that second phone actually ended up being swept away, as well as when they were, moving my hands towards behind my back. it slipped out of my pocket and i couldn't get it. obviously, the officers didn't get it. so there is a piece of news equipment out there at cal poly humboldt right now. >> ruiz was on scene as authorities moved in on the demonstrators who had taken over siemens hall more than a week ago as part of their protest against the war in gaza and part of their effort to get the school to disclose and divest from companies doing business with israelssembly, vandalism and assault on a

police officer. now humboldt county did also request mutual aid, help up and down the state of california. san francisco police sent ten police officers to assist in that operation overnight, the sheriff's office also sending four deputies to assist in that as well, saying that san francisco has expertise with mass protests and provides a unique skill set to help in situations like this. the local law enforcement says they respond to mutual aid calls like this because they know at some point in time, they too will need to put out that call for help. and they say this is a reciprocal relationship. by responding now to humboldt when they need aid here in san francisco, they say that they know they can reach out to humboldt and ask for help. then we're live in san francisco on
4:04 pm
the san francisco state university campus. christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news, christian. >> thank you. meantime, dozens of protesters at columbia university in new york broke into an occupied hamilton hall. there on campus, witnesses witness video shows the takeover early this morning, columbia said those students now face expulsion in response to the nationwide campus protests, house speaker mike johnson said he plans to bring an anti-semitism awareness bill to the house floor this week. it could pave the way for protesters to face criminal charges and allow lawmakers to cut federal funding to universities that don't control anti-semitic behavior. >> this is out of control. we've got to we've got to protect the innocent students there. and we got to say clearly, without any equivocation that anti-semitism is wrong, smashing windows with hammers and taking over university buildings is not free speech. >> it is lawlessness.
4:05 pm
>> columbia university officials say that those participating in the encampment there, on the main law are also being suspended. >> all right. we turn now to our weather here in the bay area, and it is looking good as we give you this beautiful live shot here of the oakland estuary in the san francisco skyline. another gorgeous spring day across the bay area. nice warm temperatures and mark is tracking what is ahead here in the coming days. mark, we're dot want to talk about it yet. >> yeah, we'll preview it a little bit alex. yeah, yeah. well in the meantime we'll enjoy this nice this warm pattern of visiting here, visiting us here in the bay area for today, tomorrow and into thursday. so as you can see, this was the scene above san francisco earlier. earlier today, lots of sunshine. it's kind of a split forecast once again this week. a warm wednesday 70 to right around 80 degrees. and then look at that. by saturday we could be talking about rain chances going up and a significant cool down temperatures only in the 50s and the 60s. so we still have a few days away to prep for that. and also maybe add some more detail
4:06 pm
to that forecast right now though, we have lots of cl iosey area right now. we'll check out some of the current numbers out there. san francisco 62, santa rosa 76 degrees, concord 74 and san jose right now checking in 70 degrees and we are expecting nice little warm up for tomorrow. we're showing you the current wind reports. it seems like the winds have been the constant factor over the past several days, and right now we still have a bit of a breeze out toward the oakland airport. winds westerly at about 16 miles an hour. sfo winds westerly at 24 and half moon bay at about 20 miles an hour. so a lot of chop just offshore and also into the bay because we have those stronger onshore winds. here's our live camera looking out toward the from our south bay camera. we still have those green hillsides and still lots of clear skies this afternoon. overnight temperatures will be in the 40s. a bit of a chill in the air to start things off tomorrow morning. partly cloudy and cool. and here's the forecast model showing you that cool start tomorrow. but then into the afternoon hours we are expecting a mostly sunny skies, a mild to warm forecast, 60
4:07 pm
seventys and the warmest locations will be right around 80 degrees and the winds actually clocking out of the north around 15 to 25 miles an hour. that's linked up with the warm up. you'll definitely notice that change for tomorrow and over the next several days. but then by the weekend, we could be talking about those rain chances. really going up. we'll have more on that with your full update coming up in just a few minutes. >> okay, mark. thank you. now to the emotional final farewell for a fallen idaho sheriff's deputy who grew up here in the east bay. tobin boelter was remembered today for his sacrifice at his home church in walnut creek, ktvu jana katsuyama joining us now live there, where that service is being seen virtually. janna >> it is heather and i'm going to step away so you can see the north creek church behind me. the police cars that are here, many people from law enforcement came to attend this virtual live stream of the ceremony that is going on right now up in idaho, and i think we have a look at that. you can take a look at
4:08 pm
this live picture of the ceremony in idaho. most of tobin walter's family went there to speak to the crowd that gathered there. hundreds filled the room to pay tribute to this deputy, who was from the walnut creek area, but who was a sheriff's deputy up there at ada county. back here in walnut creek, they had a viewing of the ceremo at his home congregation of north creek church. and his grandmother, who was not able to make the trip up there, was here today to see the ceremony, surrounded by family, surrounded by the church community, and surrounded by members of both the pleasant hill police department and the walnut creek department police department, where tobin boelter had served before he went up to idaho. we did get a chance to talk with the executive pastor who was here presiding, and this is what
4:09 pm
he had to say. >> we wanted to have an opportunity to bring the community together here at our church. those who are not able to go up to idaho to be in person, be able to watch here together in solidarity, to support the family, the belcher family. tobin and abby grew up here. they were married here. both of their families still attend here. and so this has been very impactful. tobin. >> abby, we also talked to some of his long time friends and members of the church. they are here inside hundreds of people were here to see this live stream service and many of them said that they knew him. some some of them, since he was just a small child and they really wanted to come to show their support for the family. we'll have a little more of what they had to say. coming up at 5:00. >> heather. yeah, obviously the bay area feeling this loss and hurting too, but but also so proud jana katsuyama live there for us in walnut creek. gianna. thank you. well, today's service
4:10 pm
comes as north carolina grieves the for law enforcement officers there killed while serving a search warrant in charlotte. investigators trying to determine if there was more than one shooter. they're questioning a woman and a 17 year old girl who were inside that home yesterday during this three hour ordeal. the gunman was shot and killed. a total of eight officers were hit, four wounded. they four of the wounded died at the hospital. two were from the north carolina department of adult correction and two were charlotte mecklenburg, police officers. >> he had a high powered automatic rifle that he was able to start open fire on. our officers and then, as others responded to try to save the officers that were down, they were also hit with gunfire as well. >> president biden, releasing a statement saying, quote, they are heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, rushing into harm's way to protect us. we mourn for them and their loved ones, and we pray for the recoveries of the courageous officers who were wounded. >> coming up here on the for
4:11 pm
this afternoon, concerns about the use of sedatives on people being arrested by police, a new investigative report examines dozens of in-custody deaths and explores the risks of medics giving those injections to help calm people who are combative. up next, a live conversation with one of the reporters involved in this project and president trump fined thousands of the gag order in his hush money case. >> what the judge said could happen for further violations
4:12 pm
4:13 pm
an investigation into police restraint. >> a new investigative report taking an in-depth look at the number of people dying in police custody after being given sedatives. those drugs administered by paramedics, are meant to calm people who are agitated or combative during an arrest. >> the associated press collaborate with pbs frontline and the howard center of
4:14 pm
investigative journalism to dig into the data, and they found between 2012 and 2021, more than 1000 people nationwide died following police restraint, and nearly 10% of those who died were sedated by injection. of those, 94 deaths nationwide, seven of them happened right here in the bay area. >> so for more, we are joined this afternoon live by carla cay johnson, a medical journalist with the associated press and one of the reporters who was involved in this investigation. thank you. so much, carla, for being here. so, as we all know, sedatives are not meant to kill. but your investigation found there is a risk to using them. so. so what are the dangers? >> yes. well, all sedatives have side effects. midazolam, which is used in california, can cause breathing to slow. ketamine is also used in other jurisdictions , and that can affect breathing in the heart. so if a person is
4:15 pm
already intoxicated, has already been shocked by a taser, for example, is being held down by police, is already having trouble breathing. you can see where injecting a sedative drug might be the final straw for that person. >> can you talk about what sort of protocols are in place for administering these sedatives? when a person is in police custody? and i think one of the questions a lot of people have been wondering is who is ultimately making the final call to administer those sedatives? is it the police officers or is it the paramedics? >> that's a really good question. and, paramedic techs are supposed to make the final call, often in the body cam video that we viewed, we hear police suggesting that the person needs a sedative. can you bring the sedative up, but paramedics are supposed to be able to make that final call. of course, these situations are chaotic, and sometimes they may feel pressure from police to
4:16 pm
administer a sedative that's inappropriate in this situation, and we all know it's dangerous out there, and it's the social safety net phrase, police are more frequently dealing with people who have mental health disorders, who are using stimulants like cocaine or meth, and they're handling these emergencies with often very little training from their departments on what's safe, so all these factors combine to make administering sedatives in these situations as risky. >> and throughout your investigative work, did you find that the use of sedatives is, in fact increasing, we monitored this over a ten year period, and we did feel that from the people that we talked to, that the use of sedatives has increased as the, protocols for excited
4:17 pm
delirium, a disputed medical condition, became more widely used by ems agencies across the country, as you know, in california last year, the state became the first state to bar the excited delirium as a valid medical diagnosis, including as a cause of death and autopsies. so, we found that the use of sedatives and the label excitedn hand. and many of these protocols that emergency medical services are using specify that a person with excited delirium, is a candidate for a sedative drug. >> you spoke a moment ago about, you know, the sort of the variety of factors that come into play during some of these arrests that that ultimately lead to deaths. many of the people involved have taken drugs or maybe alcohol. officers can be using force to try to
4:18 pm
restrain them here with all of those factors at play, how difficult can it be to determine the role that a sedative has played in a person's death? >> it is a very difficult, especially for us as journalists, to figure that out, it it's up to medical examiners to do an official ruling about what is the cause and manner of death and we did find that, excited delirium was blamed for many of these deaths. and also, methamphetamine and cocaine were blamed by medical examiners when they made their official rulings, we had medical experts review some of the cases for us. and, some of them said that the sedatives either played a contributing role or they, could
4:19 pm
have caused the death for some of these people. but it is very complicated because so many things are happening and it's hard to tell in retrospect. what was the final straw? >> yeah, obviously you went back and you looked at all of these cases, but looking forward, might there be another alternative to try to prevent violent police incidents with someone who is combative, like you were describing who who, you know, may may be reacting that way because of drugs or a psychotic episode. >> well, training is huge here, there is training for de-escalating these situations. some jurisdictions, like austin, texas, are, training special paramedics who specialize in mental health disorders. and when somebody calls 911 with this kind of behavioral health emergency, that kind of person, that kind of expert is dispatched to that situation rather than police right away,
4:20 pm
so that's one thing that can happen. and there are paramedics who are training and retraining on these issues. the death of elijah mcclain in colorado. people may be familiar with two paramedics there were convicted in his death for administering ketamine. that got the attention of people in the ems field. so there are reformers now, people like eric yeager in new hampshire, who's a paramedic educator, and he's training paramedics in his state and also speaking to national groups about the need for more caution and precision and monitoring these patients and not just using sedatives in every situation. >> yes, certainly a lot more scrutiny on this widespread practice here. really important reporting. we appreciate you coming on to share more about it. carla k johnson with the associated press. thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. former president trump back in a manhattan
4:21 pm
courtroom today after being slapped with a $9,000 fine for violating a gag order. >> fox's connor hansen has more now on the criminal proceedings in the hush money case against the former president. court proceedings resumed for the week, with judge juan marchand's decision to fine trump $9,000 for nine different truth social posts, violating his gag order. >> the judge warned the former president he could be jailed if it continues. trump is not allowed to publicly comment on witnesses and jurors. >> it's absolutely outrageous the idea that president trump should be sent to rikers over essentially reposting things that other people had already said about how unfair his cases are. >> the jury heard from several witnesses, starting with gary ferro, a banker for trump's former attorney michael cohen, who set up an account and a $130,000 transfer at the center of the trial. ferro says he didn't know what it was for, but
4:22 pm
stopped doing business with cohen after the stormy daniels hush money story came out. lawyers also questioned an attorney who represented both stormy daniels and karen mcdougal, helping sell mcdougal's affair story about trump to the parent company of the national enquirer. some say they're still waiting to see a smoking gun connecting trump. we still did not get that direct link connecting trump to this payment. >> that would put him squarely in the crosshairs of criminal jeopardy. >> while president biden campaigns in delaware tuesday, trump is impatient. he'll be in the midwest on his day off from court wednesday. >> i'm going to sit in a freezing cold ice box for eight hours, nine hours or so. >> they took me off the campaign trail. >> the former president's son, eric trump, was in the courtroom tuesday. trial will pick back up on thursday in new york. connor hansen, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, right here on the floor. we're going to be taking a closer look at a bay area
4:23 pm
organization and its dozens of projects aiding conservation and wildlife protection. >> we've got the details on how a e
4:24 pm
4:25 pm
being done by a long standing berkeley nonprofit. >> yeah, we talked with the ceo of earth island institute, a powerhouse in the world of environmental activism spanning conservation, wildlife protection and climate change solutions and a lot more. >> what i guess i'd like to see more of is more synergies
4:26 pm
between our projects, more opportunities to engage in impactful litigation that furthers the work, and more stories to tell about what we're doing. so let's talk let's talk about litigation. >> you were general counsel for several years. things like microplastics, things like abusive behaviors toward the environment. but why why does legal need to be such a big part of the environmental fight? >> well, we the only way that we're going to be able to effectively protect the environment now and going forward is by having strong, enforceable laws that ensure accountability and that corporations are not able to extract and pollute without a check, but really, it's just one piece of a set of strategies for effective environmental action. it's legal. it's communicate oceans, it's engagement, it's doing the work on the ground. it's being part of communities all together is what actually makes us really effective. >> and your organization sort of works as that older, established
4:27 pm
sibling that someone on the ground who has a great idea, let's say, in concord, could say , oh, you, tell me how that partnership works. >> yes. so what we do is called fiscal sponsorship. and what it is, is a way to reduce the barriers to operating as a nonprofit organization, which have become quite high and quite complicated and really, we want the experts on the ground to be able to focus on the work on the ground and let us handle the administrative and professional services that are necessary to operate an organization. >> so this is grant writing. this is kind of all the minutia that the person who's, like, raring to go on the ground doesn't want to have to deal with. >> yes, it's paperwork filing, it's air, it's financial accounting. it's legal. yeah. yeah. so we provide all of that to our to our network of activists, and it allows them to be effective and it allows it allows us as a whole to actually be more impactful than just
4:28 pm
dozens of separate projects operating individually. >> so do people and groups apply to you for the help, or do you look out to the horizon and say, wow, there's that great thing happening in concord? both okay, so we have we accept applications on a quarterly basis and we review them and, you know, see whether there's a fit. but we also we receive referrals and we also kind of look to what's happening and see, oh, you know, maybe this organization might be a good fit as part of our network. okay. >> and you mentioned fiscal i know that means money. if people want to help how can they do that, of course, the easiest way and what we always appreciate are donations. they can go to our website, there's a donate tab. but, you know, there are all kinds of ways for people to engage and help. as you as we've talked about, we have almost 80 activist projects and they're doing a wide range of things. and there are ways people can volunteer, whether that's beach cleanup, signing your kid up for an environmental education camp, or helping with gardening in in san francisco. and all of those
4:29 pm
opportunities you can find in our monthly newsletter, island wire. >> that's great. i have to say, i think once children especially kind of get their hands in the dirt, it helps awaken a sense of, wow, this is my responsibility. and hopefully they turn into lifelong stewards for our planet. >> and if you would like to donate to earth island institute , we have made it very easy for you to do just that. all you have to do is scan the qr code that is right there on your screen. or you can head over to ktvu.com slash, giving day. >> okay. changing course on marijuana. federal officials expected to reclassify it as a less risky. i talked live with a drug policy expert about what th
4:30 pm
4:31 pm
4:32 pm
dangerous drug here in the us. last fall we reported that federal health officials had recommended to reschedule marijuana. well, now, the us department of drug enforcement plans to move toward that reclassification. this move could have a ripple effect throughout the country. so let's discuss this afternoon with tamara todd, lecturer of marijuana law and policy at uc berkeley. thank you so much for being here. the proposal is to reclassify marijuana from its current status as a schedule one drug to a schedule three drug. what really does that mean? >> sure. and thank you so much for having me so all drugs are classified at the federal level into the federal controlled substances act. and for 50 years, marijuana has been in
4:33 pm
schedule one, which means the federal government considers it, considers it highly addictive. and having no medical use. other schedule one drugs are heroin, lsd, among others. now, for the first time, following, as you mentioned, upon the recommendation last year from the department of health and human services, the drug enforcement administration is agreeing that marijuana should be moved to schedule three, schedule three drugs are drugs that have a lower addiction potential, less abuse potential than schedule one and two drugs. and there's acknowledged medical uses, which is what the department of health and human services had found and acknowledged after its review. okay, so why reclassify marijuana now? well, first of all, the department of health and human services undertook this review, and the drug enforcement administration, under the direction of president biden, to look at the reclassification of marijuana. but the truth is, is it's long been acknowledged that marijuana
4:34 pm
was inappropriately scheduled in schedule one initially 50 years ago, and that's been part of what has spurred, i think, the dramatic policy shift among states to move in a different direction, the scheduling of substances, back 50 years ago was not always based on science. for example, nicotine and alcohol, which both have high addiction potential and little medical use, actually aren't scheduled at all in the federal controlled substances act, whereas cannabis that does have medical use and has less potential for abuse than some of these other substances is in schedule one, you know, was placed there largely for political reasons rather than scientific reasons, so i think now the effort is to bring some a little bit more consistency among state and federal laws and to acknowledge that it was always inappropriately scheduled and to allow more research and development of medical use to move forward.
4:35 pm
>> okay. so some, though, are raising objections to keeping the drug scheduled at all. i want to read now what east bay congresswoman barbara lee said in a news release following this announcement. she called it a step in the right direction in also adding, quote, to be clear, cannabis must be fully descheduled in order to end the war on drugs and repair harm to communities of color. lisa lee, who is the co-chair of the congressional cannabis caucus, saying that also saying, you know, this move is progress for businesses, but that it can't undermine comprehen sive reform. do you agree with congresswoman lee? >> yes, i agree with that 100, she is absolutely right, the biggest impact of this rescheduling to schedule three, one, as i mentioned, is more honesty and the scheduling of drugs and more appropriately placing it in a lower schedule. it reduces research barriers, but the biggest like policy practical impact is just to reduce the tax burden on state licensed marijuana businesses,
4:36 pm
currently there's a provision of the federal tax code called 280 that prohibits a business from taking a standard business deduction if it's scheduled, if it traffics in a schedule 1 or 2 controlled substance. so by moving marijuana to schedule three, it will remove that barrier for businesses. but what it does not do, and represent lee is 100% in this regard is that it doesn't legalize marijuana doesn't remove or reduce any federal criminal penalties, all the participant s in state marijuana markets will still be in complete violation of federal law, it doesn't release anyone from jail or prison who's in there for a marijuana offense or expunge any records, and it doesn't remove or reduce most federal collateral consequences of state law marijuana convictions that can very negatively affect a person's life in terms of housing, employment, education, even public benefits and immigration.
4:37 pm
so it's a step in the right direction from a mistake, in scheduling that happened 50 years ago. but there's still a long way to go in terms of reform to both reconcile state and federal law, and to remove and undo the harm of our existing federal marijuana laws. yeah. >> and there are definitely a long list of remaining steps before this reclassification happens. really appreciate you coming on the show and talking with us about this historic potential move. thanks so much. appreciate it. thanks so much for having me. >> thank you. >> reports of fraud against seniors are on the rise, and california saw more complaints than any other state in 2023. the fbi saw a 14% increase in claims at over 100,000. about 10% of those were from here in california. the total losses from these crimes rose to over $3.4 billion last year. the fbi tells us the most common scam involves phony tech support.
4:38 pm
someone makes contact with a senior saying something is wrong with their computer, and then they gain access to personal and banking information. >> the impact of these crimes can be devastating. seniors are targeted for a reason, and they're targeted because they've been saving money their entire lives. so they're very attractive targets to these scammers. to lose all that money that they've saved literally their entire lives can be absolutely devastating. >> while tech scams are the most common, investment scams are the most costly. the fbi urges people to always verify any outside contact, and to not click on any unfamiliar computer links. if you or someone you know is the victim of any of these scams, agents say that you should first contact a financial institution. your financial institution, because they may be able to get you at least some of your money back. you should also contact the fbi to report the crime, and the website to do that is wiki 3.gov. well, today
4:39 pm
is a great day to add a furry new friend to your family. it's national adopt a shelter pet day and coming up here on the four we will introduce you to some friendly faces ready to come right home with you anna maria weather. >> here's our live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge. lots of clear skies this afternoon. a bit of a warming trend in the short term forecast as we head into your wednesday, but beyond wednesday, we could be tracking ome, tracking some more dupixent helps people with asthma breathe better in as little as 2 weeks. and when you can breathe better, what isn't better? this is better. this is better. that's better. and that. even this. dupixent is an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. that's pretty good! dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems.
4:40 pm
's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. it can reduce or even eliminate oral steroids. and doesn't that make things better? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. tell your doctor right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines including steroids, without talking to your doctor. when you can get more out of your lungs, you can du more with less asthma. and isn't that better? ask your doctor about dupixent, the most prescribed biologic in asthma.
4:41 pm
it's time to get away and cache in, at cache creek casino resort, to rock and to roll. to go all out or... go all in. with four stars and rising stars, northern california's premier casino resort is the perfect place... ...to do as much -or as little- as you want. make your get away now and cache in at cache creek casino resort.
4:42 pm
adopt a shelter pet day. this is a time to raise awareness about the growing number of animals waiting to find their forever homes. and here you can see just a few of some of the adorable adoptables ready to meet you. these dogs are available now through oakland animal services. and for more on how you can meet your match, we are joined here in the studio by delfina hahn from oakland animal services, as well as vivian chiu and calista is here. calista, the husky mix and calista is enjoying herself. she wants to explore the studio, i think a little bit more. we got her the stage. there you go. hi, sweetie. how are you? tell me. tell me about the calista and the other animals that people could adopt right now.
4:43 pm
>> yeah. so this is calista. she's about a year old, so she's still young. and as you can see, she does have quite a bit of energy. but she's very sweet. she loves all people. oh, she's unfazed by most things. >> yeah, there's a lot going on in here, and she seems to be doing pretty well. she feels like she's just excited. she wants to go see what else is happening around here. >> exactly. yeah. >> tell me about some of the other the other dogs and the other pets that that people could find if they come down to oakland animalvices ri>> yeah. l ages. we have puppies to seniors. we have dogs, small dogs to large dogs. she's kind of a medium size. she's about 45 pounds. okay and so, you know, anything that someone is looking for, we have them at the shelter , or they might be in a foster home. but if someone comes to the shelter looking to adopt a dog, we make the process very easy. we chat with them, we have a matchmaking process to make sure that we are matching the family with a dog. that would be
4:44 pm
a good fit for them. yeah. >> and what are some of the things you think families should keep in mind about how to know if a pet is the right fit for you and for your situation at home, so i think the first thing to think about is your lifestyle, to think about, you know, what? what is your life on a day to day basis and how the dog is going to fit into that picture. so you know, if you like hiking and adventures, callisto would be a great fit for you. >> callisto wants to go on a hike. >> she she would love to go on adventures. she loves to play with dogs. so in the shelter we have doggy playgroups and she is great. she plays, she wrestles with dogs. so if someone has a dog who is energetic and playful, she would be a good fit. so it would be things like what's your lifestyle about your lifestyle? yeah. and who else is in your family? do you have dogs ? do you have young kids, do you have cats? so we have, i know, talked a lot about and tried to highlight the issues with overcrowding that you experienced in oakland and that
4:45 pm
