JOINING US. I'M STILL ESCOVEDO
AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND
CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE
BRACING FOR MORE DEMONSTRATIONS
THIS MORNING. WE ALREADY SAW
TWO ONE IN LOGAN HEIGHTS,

MOMENT OF SILENCE AS A SIGN OF
COMMITMENT TO HELP IMPROVE
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF BLACK

GOOD MORNING, SHANNON. GOOD
MORNING, STELLA. AND BOTH OF
THOSE DEMONSTRATIONS WERE
PEACEFUL. ONE WAS HELD HERE AT
THE LOGAN HEIGHTS FAMILY HEALTH
CENTER AT 10:00 RIGHT HERE IN
THE COURTYARD. IT'S PART OF A
NATIONAL MOVEMENT CALLED WHITE
COATS FOR BLACK LIVES. DOCTORS,
NURSES AND STAFF TOOK A KNEE
FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE AS A
WAY TO HONOR GEORGE FLOYD AND
SPEAK OUT AGAINST RACIAL
INJUSTICE. JUSTICE STAFF HERE
WAS DOING THEIR DEMONSTRATION.
STAFF OVER AT THE HILLCREST
FAMILY HEALTH CENTER WAS DOING
THE SAME. IN FACT, HEALTH CARE
WORKERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
TOOK PART IN SIMILAR
DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE EXACT
SAME TIME. ALTHOUGH I MAY NOT
BE ON THE STREETS PROTESTING
THIS, JUST SHOW THAT AS A
HEALTH CARE WORKER WE ALL TOOK
TIME OUT OF OUR DAY TO DAY. AND
YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH WE COULD
HAVE BEEN WITH PATIENTS TO SHOW
THAT WE STAND WITH THE AFRICAN
COMMUNITY AS AN
AFRICAN-AMERICAN EMPLOYEE HERE
THAT SPOKE VOLUMES THAT MY
ORGANIZATION TOOK THE TIME OUT
EVEN THOUGH MAYBE NOT A LOT OF
PEOPLE LOOKED LIKE ME TO MAKE
SAY, YOU KNOW, HEY, WE NEED
JUST TOO MUCH ON MY FETISH OR
AND AS YOU SAW THOSE
DEMONSTRATIONS WERE VERY
PEACEFUL. THEY WERE ALSO VERY
SHORT. BUT LAW ENFORCEMENT IS
BRACING FOR MORE DEMONSTRATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY IN VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE COUNTY. SO WE WILL
HAVE MORE ON THAT AND COMING UP
NEW FOR YOU AT ELEVEN THIRTY
WE'LL HEAR FROM OTHERS TAKING
PART IN THE WHITE COATS FOR
BLACK LIVES. BACK TO YOU.

FIRST COURT APPEARANCE. MAURICE
HALL WAS IN THE CAR WITH FLOYD
THE DAY DIED. HE SAYS HIS
FRIEND WAS COOPERATIVE AND HAD
HIS HANDS OVER THE STEERING

THE CAR. YOU CAN SEE THE COP
THAT WAS ON MY SIDE OF
THE VEHICLE LEAVE TO GO HELP
HIS PARTNER. AND THAT'S WHEN
ALL THE ALTERCATIONS TOOK
PLACE. BUT I CAN HEAR FLOYD
SAYING NOW WHY ARE YOU GUYS
DOING THIS? I SHOWED YOU MY

THE MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL IS
HOLDING AN EMERGENCY MEETING
TODAY TO DISCUSS CHANGES TO
THE CITY'S POLICE DEPARTMENT IN
THE WAKE OF FLOYD'S DEATH,
MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS
CONTINUED OVERNIGHT ACROSS
THE NATION IN UPSTATE NEW YORK
,TWO POLICE OFFICERS IN
BUFFALO ARE SUSPENDED AFTER
VIDEO SHOWS OFFICERS PUSHING A
75 YEAR OLD MAN DURING A RALLY.
HE FALLS TO THE GROUND AND
BLEEDS FROM THE HEAD AS
OFFICERS WALK BY. THE OTHER MAN
IS IN THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS A
DIFFERENT SCENE IN HOUSTON
WHERE AN OFFICER COMFORTED A
LITTLE GIRL TELLING HER HE'S
THERE TO PROTECT HER. SKYLER
HENRY, CBS NEWS, MINNEAPOLIS. A
PUBLIC VIEWING FOR GEORGE FLOYD
IS SCHEDULED TO BE HELD
TOMORROW IN NORTH CAROLINA
WHERE HE WAS BORN. HIS FUNERAL
WILL BE HELD ON TUESDAY IN
HOUSTON WHERE HE LIVED MOST OF
HIS LIFE. AND THE PROTESTS ARE
DRAWING NEW ATTENTION TO
THE DEATH OF A BLACK MAN IN
TACOMA, WASHINGTON WHOSE LAST
WORDS MAY HAVE BEEN. I CAN'T
BREATHE. THIS WAS CAUGHT ON
CAMERA THREE MONTHS AGO.
MEANWHILE, ELLIS DIED FROM
OXYGEN DEPRIVATION AFTER POLICE
PHYSICALLY RESTRAINED HIM. IT
WAS SO SWEET AND LOVING AND YOU
WOULD ALWAYS GIVE ME LIKE
THE BIGGEST HUGS JUST LIKE
TEARING AT HIM FOR WAY HE
WASN'T EVEN DOING ANYTHING.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER RULED HIS
DEATH WAS A HOMICIDE. TACOMA
MAYOR IS CALLING FOR ALL OF
THE OFFICERS INVOLVED TO BE
FIRED. ALICE'S FAMILY ALSO
WANTS THE OFFICERS TO BE
ARRESTED. HA! TROUBLING IS
THE WORD ONE FLORIDA SHERIFF
USED TO DESCRIBE THIS AS HE
SMASHES A CAR WINDOW TO DETAIN
A 21 YEAR OLD DRIVER. NOW
THE WOMAN HAD JUST COME FROM A
PROTEST AND WAS BEING ISSUED A
TRAFFIC CITATION BUT SHE
REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH
THE DEPUTY'S DEMANDS TO GET OUT
OF THE CAR BECAUSE SHE SAYS SHE
DIDN'T FEEL SAFE. THE SHERIFF
SAYS AN INQUIRY INTO THIS
INCIDENT IS CURRENTLY UNDER WAY
AND BELIEVES ADDITIONAL TIME
AND EFFORT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
USED TO DE-ESCALATE
THE SITUATION. THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO IS TAKING SOME BIG NEW
STEPS TOWARD REOPENING SOME
PIERS, BOARDWALKS AND WATER
AREAS ARE SET TO REOPEN NEXT
WEEK. NEWS 8 CHRIS GROW JOINS
US LIVE WITH THE DETAILS CHRIS,
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN CARLSBAD
TODAY? GOOD MORNING, STELLA.
YEAH. LET'S GET TO CARLSBAD
RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE STARTING AT
2:00 P.M. THEY'RE GOING TO
START OPENING UP SOME OF THEIR
CITY MANAGED PARKING LOTS CLOSE
TO THOSE BEACHES LIKE CARLSBAD
BOULEVARD, THE LOTS THERE AS
WELL AS ON OCEAN STREET. NOW
KEEP IN MIND HERE IN SAN DIEGO
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL NEXT WEEK TO SEE SOME OF
THESE CLOSURES GET REOPENED AND
THAT INCLUDES SOME OF
THE BOARDWALKS AND PIERS HERE
IN SAN DIEGO BEACHES AND
OBVIOUSLY SOME PEOPLE STILL
TAKING IT UPON THEMSELVES TO
STILL GONNA GET OUT HERE WALK
AND EXERCISE AND VIOLATING
THESE CLOSURES. BUT LET'S SHOW
YOU THE CITY SCHEDULE HERE FOR
GOING AHEAD AND REOPENING SOME
OF THESE FEATURES. SO WE'RE
GOING TO START WITH JUNE 8TH
WHICH IS ON A MONDAY AND
HAPPENING ON MONDAY YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE EAST AND WEST
MISSION BAY PARKS OPEN FOR PARK
AND WATER USES. AND THEN OF
COURSE GOING ALONG WITH THAT,
THE MISSION BAY PARKING LOT
WILL OPEN AT FULL CAPACITY.
THEN YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO SEE
SAME TIME ON MONDAY. FIESTA
ISLAND OPEN TO PEDESTRIANS,
DOGS AND CYCLISTS. NOW ON JUNE
NIGHT TUESDAY THAT'S WHEN PIERS
IN BOARDWALKS ARE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO REOPEN. THEN ON JUNE
12TH YOU'LL SEE BALBOA PARK
CENTRAL MESA REOPEN AND YOU'LL
ALSO SEE THE PARKING LOTS ABOUT
BOTH PARK GO TO FULL CAPACITY.
VEHICLES CAN START GOING TO
FIESTA ISLAND ON JULY 6. NOW OF
COURSE THIS MEANS THAT SAN
DIEGO WILL BE IN PHASE TWO OF
THE REOPENING PLAN HERE LOCALLY
THE BEACHES AND PARKS HAVE BEEN
CLOSED SINCE MARCH. SO THIS IS
A WELCOME SIGN FOR MANY SAN
BEGINS TO NOT ONLY GET BACK
OUTSIDE BUT BACK TO SOME SENSE
OF NORMAL. MAYOR KEVIN
FAULCONER SAYS REOPENING IS A
TESTAMENT TO THE GOOD WORK BY
SAN DIEGO. AGAIN, I WANT TO
THANK ALL SAN AFGHANS FOR
CONTINUING TO DO THE RIGHT
THING, TAKING ALL OF
THE PRECAUTIONS THAT HAVE
ALLOWED US TO FLATTEN THAT
CURVE. I'M CONFIDENT THAT AS WE
REOPEN MORE OF OUR PARKS FOR
OUR FAMILIES IT'S GOING TO HAVE
A HUGELY POSITIVE IMPACT. OF
COURSE PHYSICAL DISTANCE SEEING
WILL STILL BE REQUIRED AS WELL
AS THE BAN ON SPORTS AND OTHER
LARGE GATHERINGS INCLUDING A
LOT OF ACTIVITY THAT'S ALSO
GOING TO REMAIN BANNED
UNDERNEATH PHASE BASE. BACK TO
YOU. ALL RIGHT, CHRIS, THANK
YOU. WE SAW SOME LIGHT RAIN IN
PARTS OF THE COUNTY THIS
MORNING. CAN WE EXPECT MORE?
LET'S GO AHEAD AND CHECK IN
WITH NITA FOR A LOOK OUTSIDE.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO HEAD TO
THE BEACH. I THINK YOU NEED A
LIGHT JACKET MAYBE. YEAH, YOU
WANT A LIGHT JACKET.
TEMPERATURES ARE NOT TOO
CHILLY. I MEAN LOW TO MID 60S.
THAT'S NOT BAD. AFTERNOON HIGHS
EXPECTED HIT THE LOW 70S. BUT
WE DO HAVE THESE GRAY SKIES
CHOPPY ON THE WATER AND BACK.
THERE'S A SOUTHWEST WELL THAT'S
BUILDING SO EXPECT RIP CURRENT
RISK TO BE HIGH ALL WEEKEND
LONG IF YOU ARE GOING TO
THE BEACHES. BUT RIGHT NOW WHAT
WE'RE SEEING IS A CERTAINLY
OVERCAST CONDITIONS HERE. IT'S
ALSO FAIRLY WINDY. LET'S GET TO
THAT SATELLITE RADAR AND SHOW
YOU WHERE THAT CLOUD COVERAGE
IS PRETTY MUCH ALL ACROSS SAN
DIEGO COUNTY, ESPECIALLY SOUTH
BAY ALONG THE BORDER THERE OVER
OUR MOUNTAINS AS WELL. THERE'S
A LITTLE BREAK IN THE CLOUDS ON
SOME OF THE INLAND LOCATIONS AS
CANDIDO LOOKS LIKE YOU MAY BE
SEEING THAT CLOUD COVERAGE
BREAKING UP THERE AS FAR AS
THE 24 HOUR RAIN TOTALS, WHAT
WE SAW THIS MORNING. NOT
IMPRESSIVE AT ALL. A FEW
HUNDREDS OF AN INCH FALLBROOK.
YOU SEEM TO BE THE WINNER BUT
WITH ONLY POINT 0 4 NOT MUCH
MEASURABLE STUFF IN THIS SYSTEM
BY ANY MEANS. WE'RE LOOKING AT
THE CENTER OF THE LOW STILL OFF
THE COAST. SO IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S GOING TO BRING IN THAT
WRAP AROUND CLOUD COVERAGE OR
NOTICING THE WINDS PICK UP ALL
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT LOW AND
THEN IT COULD PUSH IT A BIT
MORE RAIN HERE LATER ON TONIGHT
AND INTO EARLY TOMORROW
MORNING. SO YOUR RAINFALL
FUTURE CAST HERE DOES SHOW.
WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEE PRETTY
LIGHT SCATTERED SHOWERS
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS OVERNIGHT INTO
EARLY MORNING. THAT'S PRETTY
MUCH THE BULK OF IT. IT WON'T
BE TOO MUCH OR WE'RE TALKING
JUST A FEW HUNDREDS MAYBE UP TO
FOUR TENTHS OF AN INCH OF RAIN
IN SOME OF OUR INLAND
COMMUNITIES. THERE IS A WIND
ADVISORY THAT WILL START AT
3:00 P.M. ESPECIALLY
THE EASTERN OF THE MOUNTAINS
AS THOSE WEST WINDS COME
THROUGH THEY'LL PUSH ON OVER
THE MOUNTAIN RANGES AND THEN
SLIDE ON DOWN AND THAT'S WHY
IT'LL BE PRETTY GUSTY FOR MUCH
OF THE DESERT ABOUT 30 MILE PER
HOUR WINDS EXPECTED THERE. BUT
RIGHT HERE ALONG HARBOR ISLAND.
YES, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT
REGARDLESS BECAUSE THAT
DOWNTOWN SKYLINE I SAW IS
GORGEOUS. BUT I COULD TELL YOU
THE WINDS CERTAINLY ARE PICKING
UP HERE. ALL THAT ONSHORE
BREEZE ASSOCIATED LOW THAT'S
JUST OFF THE COAST RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'LL BE WATCHING CLOSELY
TRACKING THAT RAIN AND LET YOU
KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH ARE
EXPECTED TO GET AND THEN WHAT'S
IN STORE FOR THE REST OF YOUR
WEEKEND HERE. COMING UP, WE'LL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU THEN. THANK
YOU. A FIRE AT A MASSIVE AMAZON
DISTRIBUTION CENTER IN REDLANDS
HAS FINALLY BEEN PUT OUT.
THE FIRE WAS REPORTED ABOUT 530
THIS MORNING. IT TOOK SEVERAL
HOURS FOR FIREFIGHTERS TO PUT
IT OUT. THIS WAS SO CLOSE TO
THE 10 THAT CALTRANS SAYS
THE FREEWAY WAS SHUT DOWN IN
BOTH DIRECTIONS. DRIVERS WERE
URGED TO AVOID THIS AREA. LOOK
,THIS AMAZON CENTER, IT'S
MASSIVE. FIREFIGHTERS SAY THERE
WERE NO INJURIES. WE ALSO HEARD
AT ONE POINT
