>>> HERE AT GOLDEN HILL ELEMENTARY YOU CAN STILL SEE STUDENTS WEARING MASKS AS THEY ARE DISMISSED FROM SUMMER CLASSES.

THEY SAY IT TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO AGAIN ESPECIALLY FOR THESE TWO.

>> WHAT WAS THE HARDEST PART?

>> THAT I HAD TO THAT I HAD TO PULL IT BACK UP I WAS DONE.

>>> THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS DELETE ITS MANDATE REQUIRING VACCINATIONS FOR ELIGIBLE STUDENTS 16 AND UP UNTIL JULY NEXT YEAR.

ALL EMPLOYEES MUST STILL BE FULLY VACCINATED TO KEEP THEIR JOBS.

NEW HIRES THIS SUMMER MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF VACCINATION BEFORE THEY CAN START.

BACK AT GOLDEN HILL ELEMENTARY, JIM IS NOT CONVINCED HIS GRANDSONS ARE EXTRA PROTECTED AT ALL.

>> I DON'T THINK THE MASKS HELP.

THEIR PARENTS ARE FROM THE STATE OF IOWA AND THEY JUST FLEW TO IOWA A MONTH AGO.

THEY WORE MASKS AND THEY STILL CAME DOWN WITH COVID.

>> Reporter: AT NONE OF THEM WERE HOSPITALIZED WITH SERIOUS SYMPTOMS.

AND THE DEBATE CONTINUES ALONG WITH THE MASK WEARING.

>>> SCHOOLS ARE NOT THE ONLY PLACES BRINGING BACK THE MASK MANDATES IN LIGHT OF COVID-19 CASES.

EVERYONE WILL BE REQUIRED TO WEAR MASKS AT NAVAL BASE CORONADO, SAN DIEGO AND POINT LOMA.

MASKING WILL BE OPTIONAL WHEN THE CDC CAN SAYS THE COMMUNITY LEVEL HAS RETURNED TO LOW.

IS >>> AN EMOTIONAL PLEA FROM A FAMILY WHOSE TEENAGER WAS STABBED IN A HATE ATTACK.

>> MY FAMILY AND I ARE PLEADING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO JOIN US FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO HOLD ACCOUNTABLE THE TEENAGERS AND THE FATHER FOR THE SUFFERING THEY HAVE ENDURED.

>> Reporter: NICOLE, A RELATIVE OF THE 16-YEAR-OLD STABBING VICTIM BIG THE COMMUNITY TO ASK THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR JUSTICE.

SHE AND SEVERAL SOCIAL JUSTICE ADVOCATES GATHERED AT THE JUVENILE COURT WHERE THE TWO WHITE TEENS ACCUSED OF THE STABBING WERE SCHEDULED TO GO BEFORE A JUDGE.

THE SUSPECTS ARE A 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND A 16-YEAR-OLD BOY.

BOTH ARE WHITE AND ACCUSED OF HATE CRIMES.

THE BOY IS CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER.

THEY HAVE PLEADED NOT GUILTY.

KPBS HAS NOT CONFIRMED THIS BUT STREATER HAS LEARNED THEY WILL GET A MAXIMUM OF 500 DAYS IN JAIL.

>> THAT SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE.

THEY ARE GOING TO THINK IT IS OKAY TO WALK AROUND AND HARM INNOCENT BLACK WOMEN.

>> Reporter: WE REACHED OUT TO THE DA AND RECEIVED A STATEMENT THAT THEY CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT AND TO SEEK JUSTICE THAT THE LAW LIMITS WHAT THEY CAN DISCUSS PUBLICLY AS THE CASE CONTINUES.

TOSHA WILLIAMSON WITH EXHALING INJUSTICE SAYS THIS IS A BLOW TO THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN DEMANDING JUSTICE TO HEAL.

>> THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS NOT BLIND.

IT SEES THE DIFFERENT CHILDREN THAT COME THROUGH THIS COURT SYSTEM.

FOR THIS CASE, WE BELIEVE THAT JUSTICE IS NOT SERVED.

500 DAYS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME.

DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR THE VICTIM TO HEAL.

SHE WILL HAVE PERMANENT SCARRING.

>> Reporter: FROM THE BEGINNING ADVOCACY GROUPS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN OUTRAGED OVER WHAT THEY CALL UNEQUAL TREATMENT OF THE WHITE TEENAGERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS, WHO THEY SAY, ALSO HURLED RACIAL THREATS AT FAMILY DURING THE ATTACK.

THEY SAY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY NEEDS TO WEIGH HER ACTIONS IN THIS CASE CAREFULLY.

>> I THINK THAT HER MESSAGE CAN MAKE IT ACCEPTABLE FOR MORE PEOPLE TO COMMIT HATE CRIMES AGAINST BLACK MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN.

>> WE SHOULD NOT LIVE IN FEAR BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN.

>> Reporter: KITTY ALVARADO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> A NEW REPORT FROM THE TEXAS HOUSE INVESTIGATION OVER HOW THE RUB ELEMENTARY MASS SHOOTING WAS HANDLED.

>> SHOTS FIRED!

GET INSIDE!

>> Reporter: CHAOS AND CONFUSION.

IT THE UVALDE MAYOR RELEASED THIS VIDEO THAT SHEDS LIGHT ON THE PANIC MOMENTS INSIDE ROB ELEMENTARY.

>> WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

>> Reporter: OFFICERS DON'T CONFRONT THE GUNMAN AND THEY SEEM CONFUSED AND DELAYED.

THINKING THERE ARE NO CHILDREN IN SIGHT.

IN A NEARBY CLASSROOM, POLICE HELP STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ESCAPE.

>> KIDS COMING OUT.

IT'S COMING OUT.

>> Reporter: OFFICERS PLAYED WITH THE GUNMAN SEEMINGLY UNAWARE THAT CHILDREN MAY STILL BE INSIDE THE CLASSROOM AND ACTIVELY IN DANGER.

>> SIR, PLEASE PUT YOUR FIREARM DOWN.

WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE TO GET HURT.

>> Reporter: A 77 PAGE REPORT SHOWS MULTIPLE SYSTEMIC ERRORS.

>> THEY FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE THREAT OF DANGER TO SECURE THE SCENE AND TO TAKE CARE OF THE ATTACKER AND SAVE AS MANY KIDS AS POSSIBLE.

>> Reporter: THEY SAY THERE WAS AN OVERALL LACKADAISICAL RESPONSE AND POOR DECISION- MAKING.

THEY DID NOT FIND ANY SINGLE PERSON CULPABLE BUT REPEATEDLY NOTED A LACK OF CLEAR COMMAND.

>> THEY DID THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF THAT.

THEY STOOD THERE AS PEOPLE BLED OUT.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT JURY SELECTION GOT UNDERWAY TODAY IN THE CASE OF STEVE BANNON.

HE IS FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES.

HIS ARGUMENT FOR NOT TESTIFYING IS BASED ON EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE BUT SOME SAY BANNON WAS NOT A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL DURING THE TIME THAT THE COMMITTEE IS PROBING.

HE COULD FACE UP TO 30 DAYS IN JAIL.

>>> WORKERS MAY WALK OFF OF THEIR JOBS AS COMIC CON IS GETTING UNDERWAY.

>> Reporter: NEGOTIATIONS STARTED WEDNESDAY MORNING.

HUNDREDS OF EMPLOYEES AT THE HILTON COULD WALK OFF THEIR JOBS.

>> IF WE DON'T HAVE A CONTRACT AND BY WEDNESDAY MORNING WE WILL PULL EVERYBODY OFF THE JOB.

>> Reporter: RICHARD IS THE LEADER OF THE UNION FOR THIS HOTEL.

>> I THINK THEY ARE PREPARED TO GO ON A STRIKE IF WE DON'T COME UP WITH REASONABLE NEGOTIATIONS.

WE ARE USED TO GETTING $.50 OR $.75 BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO CUT IT.

>> Reporter: THE HILTON PROPOSED A $.50 INCREASE LAST MONTH.

BUT THEY SAY THAT IS NOT ENOUGH.

SOME HOTEL WORKERS SAY THEY HAVE TO HOLD MORE THAN ONE JOB TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

>> RENT HAS JUST ESCALATED IN AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY.

AND/OR WEIGHT OUR WAGES CAN'T KEEP UP.

IT IS JUST A REALITY OF LIVING IN AN EXPENSIVE CITY.

THEN YOU LOOK AT GAS AND FOOD AND IT JUST MAKES IT SO THAT WE ARE BEING FORCED TO LIVE IN POVERTY.

>> Reporter: BROWNING SAYS PAY RANGES FROM $18-$21 PER HOUR.

THEY ARE SEEKING A THREE DOLLARS PER HOUR RAISE OVER THREE YEARS.

STAFF SAY HOURS HAVE BEEN CUT BY ROUGHLY 30%.

>> WE NEED TO HAVE REAL WAGE INCREASES AND WE NEED TO GO BACK TO STANDARD CLEANING.

I THINK THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR BUT THERE IS FLEXIBILITY ON HOW AND WHEN WE GET THERE.

THOSE TWO THINGS, THERE IS NOT A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY.

>> Reporter: BROWNING PLAYED A LARGE ROLE IN THE LAST HOTEL STRIKE IN 2018.

WORKERS LEFT THE GAS LAMP FOR 35 DAYS AND SHE HOPED TO NEGOTIATE A NEW CONTRACT, GIVING HOUSEKEEPERS A 40% PAY RAISE OVER FOUR YEARS.

I'M JACOB AERE FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO PRIDE IMPACT IS BACK.

THE WE CAN BROUGHT IN ABOUT $45 MILLION TO THE ECONOMY.

IT TOOK PLACE IN BALBOA PARK AND BROUGHT TOGETHER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

>>> KPBS ANALYZED MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF RECORDS RELATED TO USE OF FORCE INCIDENTS INVOLVING POLICE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THEY SAY THERE IS A CLEAR TREND.

OFFICERS ARE MORE LIKELY TO SHOOT OF THE SUSPECT IS A PERSON OF COLOR.

A WARNING, THIS STORY HAS GRAPHIC IMAGES.

>> Reporter: ON AN EVENING IN JULY, 2017, A POLICE OFFICER WAS SEARCHING FOR A MAN SUSPECTED OF HOMICIDE.

WHISTLER JUMPED OUT OF HIS PATROL CAR WHEN HE SAW A MAN.

>> HE WAS NOT SHOWING ME HIS HANDS AND HE WAS NOT COMPLIANT.

>> Reporter: THIS IS FROM AN INTERVIEW THAT WHISTLER DID LATER.

>> HE WAS DIGGING INTO HIS WAISTBAND AND HE SEEMS TO BE BUYING TIME TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF HIS WAISTBAND.

>> Reporter: THE OFFICER FIRED SEVERAL SHOTS AT THE UNARMED HENDERSON.

NONE OF THE ROUNDS HIT HIM.

>> WE HAVE A TRESPASSER, APPEARS TO BE HOMELESS.

>> AND HE WON'T LEAVE.

>> YES.

>> Reporter: TWO YEARS LATER, A WORKER AT THE BNSF RAILROAD FOUND TRESPASSER.

A MAN WALKED AWAY PICKING UP A 10 FOOT WOODEN STICK AND THEN SEVERAL RAILROAD SPIKES.

MOMENTS LATER, NEPHEWS THROUGH A SPIKE AT OFFICERS BUT THEY NEVER FIRED THEIR GUNS.

INSTEAD THEY USED BEANBAGS, PEPPER BALLS AND A POLICE DOG TO SUBDUE HIM.

WHY WAS HENDERSON SHOT AT WHEN POLICE USED LESS THAN LETHAL FORCE ON NEPHEW?

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW SINCE EVERY INTERACTION HAS ITS OWN SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES BUT THERE ARE TWO FAIRFAX.

HENDERSON IS BLACK AND NEPHEW IS WHITE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO EACH OF THEM TRACKS WITH A LONG-RUNNING TREND IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

A KPBS AND ELLIS OF RECORDS SHOWS THAT WHEN SUSPECTS ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR POLICE FIRED THEIR WEAPONS 64% OF THE TIME.

WHEN THEY WERE WHITE, JUST OVER 48% OF THE TIME.

>> WE ARE NOT SURPRISED BY THE FINDINGS.

>> Reporter: WE SPOKE WITH THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT LIST.

>> IN THINGS THAT WE DON'T MEASURE WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE LIVED EXPERIENCE IS TRUE.

BRIAN FINCH LED THE RESEARCH.

>> THE DISPARITIES THAT WE ARE OBSERVING A REAL AND NOT JUST DEPENDENT ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRIME BEING COMMITTED OR DIFFERENT TYPES OF STOPS FOR DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS.

>> Reporter: SEVERAL LOCAL PROGRAMS ARE ATTEMPTING TO TACKLE THE DISPARITIES AND MAKE IT LESS LIKELY THAT THE POLICE USE LETHAL FORCE.

IN 2019, SUMMER STEFFENS ROLLED OUT AN EIGHT HOUR DE-ESCALATION TRAINING PROGRAM FOR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

NOW MOST OFFICERS HAVE TAKEN IT .

SHE SAYS THAT EARLY SIGNS ARE ENCOURAGING.

>> DESPITE THE FACT THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE HAVE GUNS AND WE ARE SEEING THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE HAVE GHOST GUNS -- IT IS A SCARY SITUATION OUT THERE FOR OFFICERS.

A LOT MORE GUNS ON THE STREETS.

AND WE ARE STILL SEEING THE NUMBERS GO DOWN A BIT, WHICH IS VERY ENCOURAGING.

>> Reporter: BUT SHE WANTS FIVE YEARS WORTH OF NUMBERS TO SAY IT IS A TREND.

LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE MADE THEIR OWN POLICY CHANGES AND MANY HAVE BEEN MANDATED BY THE STATE.

THAT INCLUDES NEW TRAINING, DE- ESCALATION AND THEN LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH.

THEY HAVE UPDATED USE OF FORCE POLICIES TO REQUIRE THAT OFFICERS MAKE EFFORTS TO DE- ESCALATE THE SITUATION BEFORE DRAWING THEIR GUNS.

FOR MANY IN THE COMMUNITY, IT IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

THERE IS RACISM AMONG POLICE OFFICERS THAT CANNOT BE OVERCOME.

>> IF HE IS COMING IN TO SAN DIEGO, YOU HAVE GOT TO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BECAUSE THEY WILL BE SHOOTING AT YOU THEN, YES, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO USE LETHAL FORCE.

>> Reporter: POLICE FIRST RESISTED BODY CAMERAS BUT NOW SEE THEM AS ESSENTIAL TO THEIR JOB.

THEY HOPE THAT SOON POLICE WILL EMBRACE DE-ESCALATION IN THE SAME WAY.

>> IT CAN'T BE SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

THERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.

>> Reporter: THAT WILL LEAD TO MORE TRUST IN THE COMMUNITY AND FEWER PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED.

CLAIRE TRAGESER, KPBS NEWS.
