>> MAJOR FUNDING FOR KPBS EVENING EDITION HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY ANDERSON PLUMBING HEATING AND AIR PROUD TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF KPBS AND PRIVILEGE TO SERVE SAN DIEGO.

AND BY THE CONRAD PREFACE FOUNDATION.

AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> GOOD EVENING.

IT IS THURSDAY, JANUARY 7.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>>> HE NEEDS TO GO.

BY IMPEACHMENT OR THE 25th AMENDMENT.

THE CALLS TO REMOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM OFFICER GROWING BY THE HOUR AND THEY ARE COMING FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL AISLE.

IN HIS FIRST TWEET SINCE THE BAN EXPIRED HE CONCEDED THAT THERE WILL BE A NEW ADMINISTRATION ON JANUARY 20 AND CONDEMNED HIS SUPPORTERS THAT STORMED THE CAPITAL.

>> THE DEMONSTRATORS WHO INFILTRATED THE CAPITAL HAVE DEFILED THE SEAT OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY TO THOSE WHO ENGAGED IN THE ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION YOU DO NOT REPRESENT OUR COUNTRY.

TO THOSE WHO BROKE THE LAW, YOU WILL PAY.

>> FOUR PEOPLE DIED INCLUDING A WOMAN FROM SAN DIEGO.

68 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND AUTHORITIES ARE ASKING FOR HELP IDENTIFYING DOZENS MORE.

IN THE FALLOUT, THE U.S. CAPITOL POLICE CHIEF IS RESIGNING.

MANY ARE WONDERING HOW THESE RIOTERS WERE ABLE TO GET SO DEEP INTO THE BUILDINGS.

>> WHY WERE THEY OVERWHELMED?

EVERYBODY KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> REPORTER:'S SCENES FROM WASHINGTON CHOCKING THE WORLD ON WEDNESDAY.

EXTREMISTS TRACKING THE RESULTS.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 200 YEARS THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS COME UNDER ATTACK.

THEY WONDERED HOW IT COULD HAPPEN.

DOZENS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED SO FAR.

>> WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK AHEAD OF US TO IDENTIFY AND HOLD EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE VIOLENT MOB ACCOUNTABLE.

>> Reporter: THE GUARD WAS EVENTUALLY MET OF ICED TO HELP.

IT WAS VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE, NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO HELPED MAKE IT HAPPEN.

OFFICIALS KNEW THAT THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS PLANNED TO MARCH IN WASHINGTON, WHY WEREN'T MORE SECURITY MEASURES PUT IN PLACE AHEAD OF TIME?

>> IT IS CLEAR THAT THE POLICE WERE OUTNUMBERED.

THEY APPARENTLY UNDERESTIMATED THE LEVEL OF VIOLENCE AND THEIR ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CROWD.

>> THERE ARE GROWING CALLS FOR TRUMP TO BE A REMOVED EITHER BY IMPEACHMENT OR THE 25th AMENDMENT.

ONE OF US CABINET SECRETARIES HAS RESIGNED.

>>> COMING UP, HOW A SAN DIEGO ACTIVIST IS REACTING TO THE DIFFERENCES IN THE POLICE HANDLING OF YESTERDAY'S DEMONSTRATIONS DOWNTOWN VERSUS BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS OVER THE SUMMER >>> TODAY, POLICE CONFIRMED THAT A SAN DIEGO WOMAN WAS SHOT POLICE AS SHE STORMED THE NATION'S CAPITAL.

STEVE WALSH SAYS THAT THE AIR FORCE VETERAN WAS A LOCAL FARMER OF TRADE CONSPIRACIES.

>> Reporter: IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT 35-YEAR-OLD ASHLI BABBITT WAS KILLED AS SHE PUSHED THROUGH THE CAPITAL WITH SEVERAL OTHERS INVOLVED IN THE INSURRECTION.

VIDEO SHOWS HER CLIMBING THROUGH A BROKEN WINDOW OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING LEADING TO CONGRESSIONAL OFFICERS WHEN THE OFFICER FIRED.

>> WHEN SHE CLIMBED THROUGH THE WINDOW SHE GOT SHOT RIGHT IN THE NECK AREA AND FELL BACKWARDS.

I JUST REMEMBER A SENSE OF SHOCK.

>> Reporter: SHE SPENT FOUR YEARS IN THE AIR FORCE AND ANOTHER TWO YEARS IN THE RESERVES BEFORE ENDING HER CAREER IN 2016.

SERVICE RECORD SHOWS SHE DEPLOYED TO IRAQ.

SHE WAS AN ARDENT TRUMP SUPPORTER.

IN 2020 SHE WAS AT ABOUT RALLY FOR TRUMP IN SAN DIEGO.

IN 2018 SHE RANTED ABOUT IMMIGRATION ONLINE.

>> WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

WHERE IS KAMALA HARRIS TALKING ABOUT ISIS.

>> Reporter: HER POSTS WENT FROM SUPPORTING THE GOVERNOR TO RETWEETING POSTS ABOUT PIZZA THAT SUGGESTED THAT DONALD TRUMP IS TRYING TO STOP A SEX CULT.

>> PELOSI AND SCHUMER GET IN THE OFFICE AND THEY DON'T WANT THE MEDIA THERE.

THEY DON'T BECAUSE THAT WOULD REQUIRE TRANSPARENCY AND HONESTY.

>> Reporter: SHE REMARRIED IN 2019 AND RAN DOLLARS POOL SUPPLY COMPANY WITH HER HUSBAND.

THE POLICE OFFICER WHO FIRED HIS WEAPON HAS BEEN PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE PENDING INVESTIGATION.

>>> SOME CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS ARE CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP FOLLOWING THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITAL.

JOHN CAROL TELLS US HOW THE MOMENTS UNFOLDED FOR REPRESENTATIVES ONCE THE MOBS SMASHED THEIR WAY INTO THE BUILDING.

>> Reporter: IT WAS ONLY THE THIRD DAY IN OFFICE FOR NEW 53rd DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE SARAH JACOBS.

SHE WAS IN THE HOUSE CALORIE WHEN CAPITAL POLICE TOLD HER AND HER COLLEAGUES TO PUT ON THEIR CHEMICAL WEAPONS THAT AND SHELTER UNDER THEIR SEATS.

SHE SAID SHE HEARD FLASH BANGS AND GUNS FIRING OUTSIDE.

EVENTUALLY, SHE AND HER FELLOW REPRESENTATIVES WERE EVACUATED TO SAFE AREAS.

>> CAPITOL POLICE TOLD US TO TAKE OUR CONGRESSIONAL PINS OFF BECAUSE THEY WERE WORRIED WE COULD BE MORE OF A TARGET IF THEY KNEW WHO WE WERE.

>> Reporter: SHE IS CALLING FOR ACTION AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP EITHER IN THE FORM OF IMPEACHMENT OR INVOKING THE 25th AMENDMENT.

>> IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HOLD EVERYBODY RESPONSIBLE FOR INCITING, COMMITTING, OR ENCOURAGING THE VIOLENCE THAT WE SAW YESTERDAY RESPONSIBLE TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

WHILE WE WILL BE GETTING A NEW PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 20, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHOW VERY CLEARLY THAT WHAT WAS DONE, THE PRESIDENT'S ATTEMPT TO OVERFLOW AN ELECTION BECAUSE HE DID NOT LIKE THE OUTCOME IS UNACCEPTABLE AND CAN NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

>> Reporter: SHE WAS IN THE TUNNEL LINCOLN THE CAPITAL BUILDING TO CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES.

SHE SAID SHE FIRST STARTED HEARING THE WRITERS COMING IN AND CLIMBING OVER THINGS TO GET THEM.

>> I HEARD SOME POLICE OFFICERS YELLING, HERE THEY COME.

TAKE SHELTER.

I RAN BACK TO MY OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT MY STAFF WAS OKAY.

>> Reporter: HE SAID ONCE HE GOT BACK TO HIS OFFICE HE COULD HEAR PEOPLE YELLING AND SCREAMING.

HE TOLD HIS STAFF TO GET READY TO DEFEND THEMSELVES IN CASE THE OFFICE DOOR WAS BREACHED.

THEY GOT WORD THAT RIOTERS WERE CLIMBING UP SCAFFOLDING OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.

>> THERE WAS A GUY CLIMBING UP THE SCAFFOLDING.

I TOLD MY STAFF IF HE GETS UP AND TRIES TO COME THROUGH THE WINDOW WE WILL THROW HIM OFF THE BUILDING.

>> Reporter: HE SAID THAT THE MAN CLIMBED BACK DOWN BEFORE GETTING TO HIS OFFICE WINDOW.

BOTH JACOBS AND VARGAS SAY THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHY LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS NOT READY TO DEAL WITH THE MOB THAT STORMED THE CAPITOL.

THEY ECHO THE SENTIMENTS OF MANY OF THEIR COLLEAGUES SAYING HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO GET BACK TO THE FLOOR TO GET FINISHED WITH THE WORK OF COUNTING ELECTORAL VOTES AND THAT'S JUST WHAT THEY DID.

>>> YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 25th AMENDMENT.

WE SPOKE TO A PROFESSOR OF LAW AT CALIFORNIA WESTERN ABOUT THE PROCESS.

THE VICE PRESIDENT AND THE MAJORITY OF THE CABINET WOULD HAVE TO CERTIFY TO CONGRESS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS UNFIT.

IF THE PRESIDENT ARGUES THAT HE IS FIT IT GOES ON TO CONGRESS.

TWO THIRDS OF CONGRESS WOULD HAVE TO VOTE TO REMOVE THE PRESIDENT.

SMITH SAYS THERE IS ENOUGH TIME, BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE POLITICAL WILL TO GET IT DONE.

>> THAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE MORE, THE MORE FAST-TRACK PROCESS COMPARED TO IMPEACHMENT.

THAT COULD BE DONE BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN INTERNAL PROCEDURES IN CONGRESS FOR PEOPLE TO STOP THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS OR DELAY THE TRIAL AND ALL OF THAT.

IT COULD BE DONE.

IT REQUIRES AN EXTREME POLITICAL WILL AND CONSENSUS THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN SO FAR.

>> SMITH SAYS AFTER MORE THAN 100 HOUSE MEMBERS VOTED AGAINST CERTIFICATION OF THE ELECTION RESULTS, IT'S NOT CLEAR WHETHER THERE WOULD BE A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY TO REMOVE THE PRESIDENT.

>>> JANUARY IS ALREADY SHAPING UP TO BE A DEVASTATING MONTH FOR THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY REPORTED 47 DEATHS AND MORE THAN 3800 CASES.

THE CDC WARNS THAT THE OVERALL DEATH TOLL COULD EXCEED 430,000 BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

MARY MALONEY HAS MORE ON WHAT COULD BE THE PEAK OF THE PANDEMIC.

>> Reporter: COVID-19 IS CLAIMING MORE LIVES THAN EVER BEFORE.

>> THIS IS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR US.

THIS IS THE LAST WAKE-UP CALL THAT WE MIGHT GET.

>> Reporter: THE VIRUS CONTINUES TO SWEEP ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND BREAK RECORDS FOR DAILY DEATHS.

>> WE ARE IN A VERY DIFFICULT SURGE OF CASES IN OUR COUNTRY THAT IS RECORD-BREAKING EVERY SINGLE DAY.

IT IS TERRIBLE.

>> Reporter: HOSPITALS FILLED AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS ARE OVERWHELMED.

>> IT'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE.

THE HOSPITALS NOT AVAILABLE I DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES THE PATIENT MIGHT NEED.

>> Reporter: IN CALIFORNIA ICUS AND WAITING ROOMS ARE PACKED WITH PATIENTS.

SOME FACILITIES ARE FORCED TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY.

>> HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO THE PATIENT AND THEIR FAMILY.

>> Reporter: SOME STATES ARE ALLOWING MORE PEOPLE TO RECEIVE CORONAVIRUS VACCINES.

ONLY A FRACTION OF THE VACCINE DOSES, ABOUT 5.3 MILLION DOSES HAVE BEEN PUT IN ARMS.

>> CLEARLY NO EXCUSES.

WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 20 DISTRIBUTED AND 20 INTO THE ARMS OF PEOPLE.

BY 20 I MEAN 20 MILLION.

>> VACCINES ON A SHELF OR IN A FEDEX BOX ARE OF NO USE.

THEY NEED TO GET INTO PEOPLE'S ARMS.

THAT IS OUR NUMBER ONE FOCUS.

>> Reporter: MOST PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS UNTIL THEY CAN RECEIVE THE VACCINE.

>>> ALL HEALTHCARE PERSONNEL IN THE COUNTY ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A COVID-19 VACCINE.

DEVIOUSLY, ONLY THOSE IN HIGH- RISK POSITIONS LIKE HOSPITALS WERE IN LINE.

NOW HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND HOSPITAL STAFF AND SUPPORTIVE PERSONNEL CAN GET THE VACCINE.

YOU CAN RECEIVE IT THROUGH YOUR EMPLOYER IF THEY ARE APPROVED TO CONTACT HER PRIMARY CARE OFFICE.

THE COUNTY HAS THREE VACCINATION SITES.

YOU MUST SIGN UP ONLINE AND PROVIDE MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE ELIGIBLE.

>>> OFFICIALS FROM SAN DIEGO UNIFIED ANOTHER URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE SAYING THAT THE GOVERNOR'S NEW PLAN TO REOPEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WILL HURT THE NEEDIEST STUDENTS.

OUR EDUCATION REPORTER EXPLAINS WHY THE DISTRICTS ARE CALLING ON THE STATE TO SLOW DOWN REOPENING'S WHILE THE PANDEMIC CONTINUES TO SURGE.

>> Reporter: SEVEN OF THE STATES LARGE URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICT SENT A DETAILED LETTER TO GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM, CRITICIZING HIS RECENTLY ANNOUNCED PLAN TO ENCOURAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REOPENING'S ACROSS THE STATE.

UNDER THE SAFE SCHOOLS FOR ALL PLAN, A DISTRICT CAN RECEIVE UP TO MILLIONS IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING IF THEY ARE ABLE TO BEGIN IN PERSON INSTRUCTION AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

ONLY DISTRICTS AND COUNTIES WITH A SEVEN DAY AVERAGE OF FEWER THAN 28 COVID-19 CASES PER 100,000 RESIDENTS QUALIFY.

THE SAN DIEGO SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT WERE AMONG OFFICIALS THAT SIGNED THE LETTER ARGUING THAT DISTRICTS IN AFFLUENT AREAS WITH LOWERCASE RATES WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN FIRST AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FUNDING.

>> OUR TAX DOLLARS WILL GO TO THE PARTS OF THE STATE THAT NEEDED THE LEAST.

THAT IS NOT GOOD.

>> Reporter: THEY SAID THAT THE PLAN ALSO LACKS DETAILS ON HOW TO REGULARLY TEST STUDENTS FOR COVID-19 ONCE THEY RETURN TO CAMPUS.

>> THEY HAVE TO START WITH TESTING SO THEY CAN OPERATE SAFELY.

HIS PLAN IS NOT CLEAR ON THAT.

WE NEED THIS GRADUAL REOPENING AND THE PLAN TO GET STUDENTS BACK SHOULD FOCUS FIRST ON PUBLIC HEALTH.

>> Reporter: THE EDUCATION EQUITY DIRECTOR FROM THE BAY AREA-BASED CIVIL RIGHTS LAW FIRM PRAISED THE GOVERNOR'S EFFORTS TO REOPEN SCHOOLS.

>> I THINK THE GOVERNOR DESERVES CREDIT FOR PUSHING THIS CONVERSATION.

FOR NOT GIVING UP ON THIS YEAR BUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO INCENTIVIZE SCHOOLS TO REOPEN.

>> Reporter: HE SAID THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THE CONCERNS OF SUPERINTENDENTS.

HE SAID THAT THE SOLUTION IS TO ALLOW DISTRICTS IN AREAS OF LOW CASE COUNTS TO REOPEN WHILE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO THOSE IN AREAS WITH HIGH CASE COUNTS.

>> HOW DO WE DO BOTH THINGS AT THE SAME TIME?

OPEN AS MANY SCHOOLS AS WE CAN AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GIVING EXTRA ATTENTION TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE HARDEST HIT SO THAT WE CAN GIVE THOSE SCHOOLS THE BEST CHANCE TO REOPEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ALSO.

>> Reporter: THIS PLAN NEEDS TO BE APPROVED LEGISLATURE AND SCHOOLS WOULD START REOPENING ON FEBRUARY 15.

>>> NATHAN FLETCHER HAS PROPOSED A SERIES OF CHANGES IN POLICY SINCE TAKING OVER AS THE HEAD OF THE CHAIR SUPERVISORS.

HE SAID THAT THE LATEST PROPOSAL INVOLVES TRANSPARENCY.

>> Reporter: FLETCHER AND THE NEWLY ELECTED SUPERVISOR JOEL ANDERSON SAID THAT THEY WANT COUNTY RECORDS TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT.

>> IT IS THE TRANSPARENCY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.

WHEN ALL VOICES ARE HEARD AND ALL IDEAS ARE CONSIDERED AND THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE A SAY IN HOW THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS.

>> Reporter: SOME OF THE SPECIFIC ASPECTS THEY ARE LOOKING TO IMPROVE INCLUDE THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT PORTAL, ACCESSING PUBLIC RECORDS, THE ANNUAL COUNTY BUDGET, AND BOARD MEETINGS.

>> THEY CAN LOOK AT ANYTHING.

THEY CAN GO OUT AND GET PUBLIC INPUT ON WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

THIS WOULD HELP PROVIDE THE FRAMEWORK AND COME UP WITH SPECIFIC IDEAS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED.

THEN BRING THOSE BACK AND WE WILL ACTUALLY START CHANGING THE POLICIES.

>> Reporter: IS APPROVED THEY WILL BE APPOINTED THE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPARENCY.

>> THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST IS SERVED.

>> Reporter: THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WILL VOTE DURING NEXT TUESDAY'S MEETING OF THE BOARD.

>>> A LA MESA POLICE OFFICER WHO FIRED A BEEN BACKGROUND AT A WOMAN'S HEAD DURING A PROTEST WILL NOT FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES.

THE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE REVIEW CONCLUDED THAT HE USED REASONABLE FORCE WHEN HE FIRED ON THE 59-YEAR-OLD WOMAN.

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SAID THAT HE BELIEVED SHE HAD THROWN A ROCK ALTHOUGH IT WAS AN ALUMINUM CAN.

SHE FILED A LAWSUIT SAYING SHE SUFFERED FACIAL SCARRING, LOSS OF VISION AND WHEN I, AND NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES.

>>> WEDNESDAY'S EVENTS AT THE CAPITAL BRINGS TO LIGHT THE DIFFERENCE IN HOW PROTESTERS ARE TREATED.

>> Reporter: ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, HUNDREDS OF SUPPORTERS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP GUARANTEED IN FRONT OF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER IN SAN DIEGO AND IN A SEPARATE PROTESTING SANTEE.

THE POLICE PRESENCE THERE WAS SPARSE AS EVENTS ENDED PEACEFULLY.

A SIMILARLY -SIZED PROTEST IN NOVEMBER IN SUPPORT OF BLACK LIVES MATTER WHICH WAS ALSO PEACEFUL, WAS MET WITH DOZENS OF POLICE IN THE STREETS.

TO A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST THE DISPARATE ENFORCEMENT IS TYPICAL OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN SAN DIEGO AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, NOT EVEN JUST WASHINGTON, D.C., YOU SEE THIS LAX APPROACH BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITES.

BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE AS DANGEROUS.

THEY DON'T SEEM AS DANGEROUS.

WE ARE NOT AS CONCERNED ABOUT THEM BECAUSE THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.

YOU STILL SEE BIAS.

WE HAVE SEEN THE BIASED ENFORCEMENT.

I HAVE BEEN SAYING IT THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC.

YOU HAVE SEEN IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IT'S SHOWING ITSELF RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: HE IS QUESTIONING WHETHER LAW ENFORCEMENT REACTS UNIFORMLY DIFFERENTLY TO THESE TWO GROUPS.

>> HOW THESE PROTESTERS, OR PROTESTERS AS THEY SAY THEY ARE, GOT TO THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE U.S. HOUSE BREAKING WINDOWS AND SITTING IN THE SAME SEAT THAT SPEAKER PELOSI SITS IN, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN WITHOUT STRONG OVERSIGHT AND ENFORCEMENT PLANNED DAYS BEFORE.

>> Reporter: HE CALLED FOR INVESTIGATIONS AT THE FEDERAL AND COUNTY LEVEL INTO POLICING A PROTEST.

IN HIS STATEMENT, SAN DIEGO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WOULD WAS PRESENT YESTERDAY TOLD US THAT THEY ADJUST THEIR RESPONSE TO PROTEST BASED ON INTELLIGENCE THEY RECEIVE.

AND THERE ARE OPPOSING SIDES PRESENT AT THE SAME EVENT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR CONFRONTATIONS.

THAT JUST BECAUSE PERSONNEL ARE NOT VISIBLE DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS NOT AN OPERATIONAL PLAN DEPUTIES AVAILABLE TO RESPOND AS NEEDED.

>> SO HOW ARE SAN DIEGO RESIDENTS REACTING?

MATT HOFFMAN BRINGS US LOCAL PERSPECTIVES FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.

>> Reporter: THE VIOLENCE AT THE CAPITAL IS DRY REACTIONS FROM BOTH POLITICAL SPECTRUMS.

ONE MEMBER FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE WAS SEEING.

>> IT WAS A HORROR SHOW.

IT WAS AWFUL.

IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD'VE NOT EXPECTED.

TRUMP HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET HIS PEOPLE TO BE MORE AND MORE VIOLENCE AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN HIS DELUSION THAT HE WON THE ELECTION.

FOR IT TO GO THAT FAR AND FOR HIM TO AVOID TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT IS THE MOST ANTI-AMERICAN THING I CAN IMAGINE.

>> Reporter: THIS REGISTERED REPUBLICAN SHARED SIMILAR VIEWS.

>> NOT VERY GOOD.

I DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL.

IT MADE ME SICK.

I HAVE SEEN THE RIOTS THAT THEY HAD AN PORTLAND AND THIS WAS THE SAME THING GOING ON, IT WAS UNCALLED FOR AND IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.

>> Reporter: DURING THE VIOLENCE, TRUMP ADDRESSED SUPPORTERS IN A SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO SAYING THAT HE FEELS THEIR PAIN IN HIS THEY SHOULD LEAVE BUT FALSELY REITERATED THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN.

>> ON THE ONE HAND HE SAYS THEY SHOULD GO HOME BUT BEFORE HE DOES THAT HE SAYS THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN FROM HIM AND AFTER THAT HE SAYS THEY ARE REALLY GREAT PEOPLE AND GO ON HOME.

HE IS REALLY NOT TELLING THEM TO STAND DOWN AND STOP DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

HE'S TELLING THEM YOU ARE MY PEOPLE AND I LOVE YOU.

>> Reporter: THEY THINK THE PRESIDENT COULD HAVE DONE MORE TO STOP IT.

>> I VOTED FOR HIM, BUT I DID NOT LIKE IT.

IT PUTS QUESTIONS IN MY MIND ABOUT HIS THINKING.

>> Reporter: HE SAID PEOPLE NEED TO COME TOGETHER BECAUSE THE ELECTION WAS NOT STOLEN.

>> IT WAS OVER A LONG TIME AGO.

I THINK THAT TRUMP SHOULD STEP DOWN BUT I WILL PROBABLY GET IN TROUBLE.

A LOT OF MY FRIENDS ARE STAUNCH REPUBLICANS, I JUST HOPE THAT JOE BIDEN DOES A GOOD JOB.

THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM AND WE WILL STAND BEHIND HIM.

>> Reporter: MATT HOFFMAN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> SAN DIEGO'S PENSION REFORM MEASURE HAS BEEN DECLARED INVALID.

ANDREW BOWEN SAID THAT THOUSANDS OF CITY WORKERS WILL BE ENTITLED TO STRONGER RETIREMENT BENEFITS.

>> Reporter: PROPOSITION B ELIMINATED PENSIONS FOR ALL NEW CITY EMPLOYEES EXCEPT POLICE OFFICERS.

IN 2018, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE RULED THAT THE CITY VIOLATED LABOR LAWS WHEN THEY PUT THE MEASURE ON THE BALLOT.

IT STOPPED SHORT OF INVALIDATING THE MEASURE.

A SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE ON TUESDAY DID JUST THAT.

THE MAYOR SAID THAT THE RULING IS A VINDICATION FOR HIM AND OTHERS THAT OPPOSED IT FROM THE BEGINNING.

>> I LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY OF WORKING WITH CITY LEADERS AND EMPLOYEES TO FIGURE OUT A PATH FORWARD THAT WILL PUT THIS ISSUE TO REST AND ALLOW US TO FOCUS ON THE MANY OTHER ISSUES THAT DEMAND ATTENTION HERE AT CITY HALL.

>> Reporter: CITY WORKERS THAT WERE IMPACTED BY PROPOSITION B WILL SOON HAVE THE OPTION OF CONVERTING THEIR 401(K) RETIREMENT PLANS TO GUARANTEED PENSIONS.

IT'S UNCLEAR HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST TAXPAYERS.

AND SMITH, THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE CITY EMPLOYEE UNION SAID THAT PROPOSITION B HAS ALREADY COST THE CITY MONEY IN COURT AND HURT THEIR ABILITY TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES.

>> THE DISSERVICE TO THE ACTUAL WORK THAT GOVERNMENT PROVIDES TO RESIDENTS HAS BEEN HUGE BY VIRTUE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROPOSITION B.

>> Reporter: SUPPORTERS INCLUDING THE LINCOLN CLUB AND A CITY COUNCILMAN DENOUNCE THE RULING BUT NONE HAVE SAID WHERE THEY PLAN TO APPEAL.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE ARE CERTAINLY ENJOYING A NICE STRETCH OF THE WEATHER.

THAT WILL CONTINUE HERE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

OF COURSE, WE WILL STILL HAVE GUSTY WINDS TO CONTEND WITH IN A FEW LOCATIONS.

WE ARE ALSO TALKING ABOUT ROUGH SURF OUT THERE.

HIGH SURF ADVISORY'S REMAIN IN EFFECT HERE.

THE EVERGREEN LAYER HAS MADE THE RETURN BUT 66 WILL BE THE HIGH FOR SAN DIEGO AS WE LOOK AT SOME OF THESE INTERIOR LOCATIONS WE WILL HAVE SOME 70s ON THE BOARD.

AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE WEEKEND, TEMPERATURES PRETTY MUCH STAY THE SAME.

WE LOOK AT THAT SUNSHINE KEEPING THINGS MILD AS THE COLD SHOT WORKS THROUGH THE INTERIOR.

AGAIN WE WILL MISS OUT ON ALL OF THE ACTION.

TOWARD THE COAST THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS ARE HANGING OUT IN THE 60s OR LOWER 70s.

IT IS LOOKING PRETTY NICE.

WE ARE LOOKING AT A GUSTY SITUATION HERE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND FOR SOME LOCATIONS.

>>> A RECAP OF OUR TOP STORIES.

THROW THEM OUT..

EVEN SOME REPUBLICANS HAVE JOINED IN SAYING HE NEEDS TO BE THROWN OUT.

CALLS FOR INVOKING THE 25th AMENDMENT ARE BEING PUT FORWARD.

>>> WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT ASHLI BABBITT WHO WAS SHOT AND KILLED INSIDE THE CAPITOL BUILDING.

SHE GREW UP IN LAKESIDE AND LIVED IN OCEAN BEACH.

SHE WAS A STRONG SUPPORTER PRESIDENT TRUMP.

SHE WAS SHOT BY CAPITOL POLICE AS SHE AND OTHER DEMONSTRATORS SMASHED THROUGH GLASS INSIDE THE BUILDING.
