SO OVER THE NEXT 3 NIGHTS KSAT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE BARE FACTS POLL AS
WELL AS OUR FRIENDS AT THE SAN
ANTONIO. REPORT WILL BE A WORLD
FORUMS
AND TONIGHT. WE’RE DEDICATING
THE EVENING TO MAYOR RON
NIRENBERG HE JOINS US LIVE NOW
IN OUR KSAT QNA TO TALK ABOUT.
HIS
NEXT RUN FOR MAYOR AND SOME
OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE ON
OUR MINDS BUT I WANT IT RIGHT
OFF THE TOP SINCE WE HAVE YOU
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE ARE
CAUGHT NOTICE THAT WENT ABOUT
AN HOUR AGO ASKING TEXANS
TO CONSERVE THEY’RE SAYING
THERE’S NO THREAT OF POWER
OUTAGES BUT WHAT ARE YOUR WHAT
YOUR UNDERSTANDING ON EXACTLY
WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THIS.
>> WHEN WE WERE
NOTIFIED THROUGH A TWEET AS
WELL AND WHAT WE UNDERSTAND NOW
AFTER HEARING THE ERCOT
PRESS CONFERENCE IS THAT THEY
ARE CALLING FOR FROM PLANTS
AROUND TEXAS ARE FROM CUSTOMERS
AROUND TEXAS OUT OF AN
ABUNDANCE PRECAUTION.
AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF PLANNED
MAINTENANCE THAT THEY’RE DOING.
IN CALLING FOR AS A RESULT OF
THE WINTER OUTAGES, THEY DON’T
EXPECT ANY OUTAGES TO OCCUR.
THEY’RE JUST CALLING FOR THIS
CONSERVATION OUT OF AN
ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION.
>> THEY INFORMATION THAT WE’RE
GETTING AND YOU’RE GETTING IT
SEEMS A LITTLE CONVOLUTED
BECAUSE THEY’RE KIND OF BLAMING
A LOT OF THINGS INCLUDING A
STALLED COLD FRONT.
IS THE COMMUNICATION WITH ARE
CUT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO GET
FIXED AND I MEAN SOON.
> YES IT ABSOLUTELY
DOES AND AND AGAIN WE CAN GO
BACK DISSECTING
WHAT OCCURRED. IN FEBRUARY BUT
THE TRIGGERING EVENTS OF THAT.
OUTAGE WERE.
THERE ARE CUT GRID MANAGEMENT
AND COMMUNICATION WITH ALL THE
PARTIES THE GRID.
WORKERS. THE UTILITIES AROUND
TEXAS, YOU KNOW THIS AGAIN AS A
FOR MEMBERS OF OUR COFFEE UTILITIES AROUND TEXAS BUT WHERE OBVIOUSLY
RELAYING WHAT WE’VE BEEN TOLD
NOW FROM ARE CUT.
>> I WANT I WANT TO MOVE TO THE
CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW AND YOU
KNOW WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO
HAVE DONE A DEBATE BETWEEN
YOURSELF AND THE 2 CANDIDATES
THAT WE’RE GOING PROFILE AND
HAVE IN THE FORM THE NEXT
TONIGHT TALK ABOUT YOUR
DECISION NOT TO DEBATE THIS
TIME AROUND AND WHY YOU CAME TO
THAT DECISION.
>> NO I’M ANSWERING QUESTIONS
NOW. STEVE AND WE’VE BEEN
DOESN’T FORMS ARE MORE AT
THIS POINT WHICH REALLY ALLOW
FOR A THOROUGH
EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES
POSITIONS ON ISSUES WE’RE GOING
TO HAVE A THOROUGH
DISCUSSION TODAY ABOUT POLICIES
AND POSITIONS AND I THINK THAT
THAT IS IN SERVICE OF THE
CIVIC DIALOGUE. LEADING UP TO
ELECTION FAR MORE THAN GETTING
INTO A
MUCH FIGHT. IN A DEBATE
ESPECIALLY AFTER COMING OFF,
BUT WHAT HAS BEEN A GRUELING
AND POLARIZING 2020 ELECTION.
I THINK WE NEED TO ELEVATE
CIVIC DIALOGUE AS
OPPOSED TO THE KIND OF MUCH
FIGHTING THAT WE WOULD SEE IN A
DEBATE.
>> ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT HAS
VERY IN THE NEWS AS WELL AS ON
CITIZENS MINES HAS TO DO WITH
THE POLICE BRUTALITY. A
POLICE REFORM WE’VE BEEN
WATCHING THE STORY UNFOLD IN
BROOKLYN CENTER WERE DANTE
WRIGHT WAS SHOT.
>> THOSE BODY
>> THE RESULTS WERE IMMEDIATELY
AIRED WE SAW THE BODY CAM
FOOTAGE.
>> DO YOU AGREE WITH WHAT’S
GOING ON IN SAN ANTONIO WITH
THESE MONTH LONG DELAYS OR
ACTUALLY ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT THE
BODY CAM FOOTAGE WILL NOT BE
RELEASED IN AN OFFICER INVOLVED
SHOOTING IN SAN ANTONIO.
>> YEAH SO PRIOR
CALLING FOR A
BODY CAM POLICY TO BE
INSTITUTED BY OUR SAN ANTONIO
POLICE DEPARTMENT WE HAVE NOT
AND SO THERE WAS NO
PREDICTABILITY THERE WAS
PATTERN FOR WHEN BODY CAM
FOOTAGE WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE
NOW THERE IS.
AND THE POLICE CHIEF BE A STATE
STATUTE
AS THE DISCRETION AS HOW AND
WHEN. BODY CAM FOOTAGE
IS RELEASED. WE WANTED TO SET
SOME EXPECTATIONS AROUND AND I
I BELIEVE THAT THIS CLOSURE
IN NEARLY EVERY CASE IS IN
SERVICE OF PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY.
AND SO THERE IS NOW WRITTEN
POLICY AND IT GIVES THE POLICE
CHIEF OF CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME
TO MAKE
THAT DECISION ABOUT WHETHER OR
NOT IT COMES OUT AND IF THERE
IS A DECISION NOT TO RELEASE
YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION
MADE IN WRITING
ON THE SAN ANTONIO WEBSITE.
SO IT IS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED.
BUT HE ALWAYS DOES HAVE THE
ABILITY TO RELEASE FOOTAGE.
AT IT EARLIER THEN ON THAT
TIMELINE AND
AND SO AND IF IT’S IN SERVICE
OF PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY WE WILL
ABSOLUTELY WANT THAT TO HAPPEN
ARE YOU SATISFIED ARE YOU
SATISFIED THAT THERE IS A POP
ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE
POLICY SO FAR THOUGH I MEAN ARE
YOU SAD IS I MEAN
IN PRACTICE.
>> YOU KNOW THE BARRELS A MALT
CASE I MEAN THERE’S BEEN
SEVERAL CASES WHERE WE’RE STILL
WAITING FOR THE BODY CAM VIDEO
I MEAN IT
POLICY IS ONE THING ARE YOU
HAPPY WITH HOW IT’S BEEN
CARRIED OUT IN PRACTICE.
>> SO THAT IS ALWAYS GOING TO
CHALLENGE IN CONVERSATION WITH
THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY BECAUSE WE
ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
JUSTICE IS SERVED AND SO IN THE
EVENT THAT
THERE IS A NEED BE DURING
THE INVESTIGATION ENSURE TIME.
FOR IT TO
BE REVIEWED. THEN THAT’S WHAT’S
ALLOWED IN STATE STATUTE AND
ALSO PART OF THAT U.S. POLICY.
WE’VE SEEN AND WE THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY’S
OFFICE REVIEWED. THE POLICIES
OF CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY
AND
IN TEXAS AND WE FOUND THERE WAS
A LOT OF
VARIATION OBVIOUSLY BUT
GENERALLY THERE WAS A TIME
FRAME LAID OUT THE CHALLENGE
WITH HAVING A TIMEFRAME THAT IS
TOO SHORT IS THAT IT HAS BEEN BROKEN AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE POLICY THAT WE
WE ESTABLISH THAT THE CITY THAT
THE SAPD ESTABLISHES IN PLACE
TO CARRY US OUT IS THAT HERE
TOO AND I AND I BELIEVE THAT
THAT’S WHAT WILL OCCUR. AND
WE’VE ALREADY SEEN THAT TAKEN
PLACE SO FAR.
>> WE APPRECIATE YOU MEETING
WITH US AHEAD OF YOUR FORUM
TONIGHT. I HOPE WE’VE KIND OF
WARMS YOU UP FOR BEGINNING.
THEY’RE PROBABLY BE A LITTLE
BIT TOUGHER. IN ABOUT 30
MINUTES, 3RD THAT THEY’LL BE
FINE.
>> MISTER MAYOR THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR TIME WE’LL SEE
YOU AT 7 O’CLOCK ON KSAT.COM
