KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL.

WE WARN YOU, THIS STORY DOES CONTAIN DISTURBING IMAGES.

>> THE VIDEO COMES FROM BODY WORN CAMERAS THAT BEGINS WITH A DEPUTY SERVING AN EVICTION NOTICE TO 47-YEAR-OLD YAN LI IN HIS CONDO IN LITTLE ITALY.

SHE SAYS THE DEATH WAS UNNECESSARY.

>> Reporter: THE INCIDENT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

WILLIAMSON SAYS THAT IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE SHE SAYS, POLICE SHOULDN'T BE IN VISTA GETTING OTHER POLICE WE ASKED FOR COMMENTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT AND FROM THE CITIZENS LAW ENFORCEMENT REVIEW BOARD.

BOTH DECLINED BECAUSE THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING.

THE ENTIRE INCIDENT LASTED ABOUT 45 MINUTES.

WHATEVER THE INVESTIGATION FINDS, WILLIAMSON SAYS THIS IS YET ANOTHER TRAGIC OUTCOME THAT SHE CONTENDS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF PROPER DE- ESCALATION TECHNIQUES HAVE BEEN USED.

>>> IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF AN ACTIVE PATTERN ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, MORE SO AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

WINDS WILL TURN OFFSHORE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY, WHICH WILL MEAN WARMER TEMPERATURES TO CLOSE OUT THE WORK WEEK.

WE ARE TRACKING THIS POWERFUL STORM THIS WEEKEND.

IT'S GOING TO BE DROPPING SOUTHWARD OUT OF THE NORTHWEST.

IT BRINGS GUSTY WINDS AND ALSO I THINK THE POSSIBILITY OF RAIN CHANCES TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEKEND.

TONIGHT, TEMPERATURES GET BACK, TO THE 50s IN OCEANSIDE.

59 DEGREES IN VIRAGO SPRINGS.

40s FOR YOU E LAGUNA.

WEDNESDAY, YOU WILL NOTICE COOLER AIR SANCTUARY NORTH.

SOME OF THAT WILL SPILL FURTHER SOUTH.

OVER ALL, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANYTHING MAJOR.

TEMPERATURES GETTING INTO THE UPPER 60s IN OCEANSIDE.

73 TOWARDS RAMONA.

MID-50s IN THE MOUNTAINS.

75 TOWARDS EL CAJON.

THURSDAY, DRY WEATHER CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST.

MOVING FORWARD, I WANT TO POINT OUT SOME OF THOSE CHANGES AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, MID-70s.

BUT AFTER THAT, WE WILL SEE THAT DROP INTO THE 60s WITH CLOUDS INCREASING SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.

I THINK WE MIGHT BE ADDING IN RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST NEAR THE COAST TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEKEND.

FURTHER INLAND, TEMPERATURES GO FROM 70s ON WEDNESDAY BACK INTO THE 80s ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

CLOUDS INCREASING SATURDAY WITH TEMPERATURES DRAMATICALLY DROPPING INTO THE 60s AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY.

IN THE MOUNTAINS, NOT SEEING MUCH OF A CHANGE FROM DAY IN DAY OUT THROUGH SATURDAY.

WINDS PICKING UP THIS WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES BOTTOMING OUT FROM SATURDAY TO SUNDAY, DROPPING ALMOST 15 DEGREES FOR DAYTIME HIGHS.

IN THE DESERTS WE GO TO THE 80s OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS BACK DOWN TO ABOUT 70 DEGREES BY THE TIME WE GET TOWARDS SUNDAY.

SHOULD SEE SOME GUSTY WINDS PICKING UP TO START OF THE WEEKEND.

THE SENTENCE ALSO INCLUDES TWO YEARS PROBATION AND 200 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE.

>>> THE MARINES IN SAN DIEGO ARE INVESTIGATING ALLEGATIONS OF WHITE SUPREMACIST TIES AMONG THE RANKS.

THESE ALLEGATIONS RELATE TO A LARGER TREND OF EXTREMIST CLAIMS BY PEOPLE WITH MILITARY LINKS.

AMITA SHARMA SAYS TOP BRASS CHANGED POLICIES TO MEET THE MOMENT.

SOME SAY THEY FALL SHORT.

>> WE NEED YOUR HELP.

I'M TALKING, OF COURSE, ABOUT EXTREMISM AND EXTREMIST IDEOLOGY.

VIEWS AND CONDUCT THAT RUN COUNTER TO EVERYTHING THAT WE BELIEVE IN.

AND WHICH CAN ACTUALLY TEAR THE FABRIC OF WHO WE ARE AS AN INSTITUTION.

>> Reporter: DISPLAY FROM THE NATION'S FIRST BLACK SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, LLOYD AUSTIN, WEEKS AFTER THE JANUARY 6 INSURRECTION, CAME AFTER THE REQUEST FOR RANK AND FILE TO REVISIT THEIR OATH.

>> READ THOSE WORDS AGAIN.

CONSIDER WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN.

AND THINK ABOUT THE PROMISE THAT YOU MADE TO YOURSELF INTO YOUR TEAMMATES AND TO YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS.

>> Reporter: WITH NEARLY 15% OF THE JANUARY 6 INSURRECTIONISTS TIED TO THE MILITARY, THE PENTAGON ALSO TURNED INWARD LATE LAST YEAR.

THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE UPDATED ITS POLICY OF RADICALISM TO BAN SERVICEMEMBERS FROM ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN GANGS OR GROUPS THAT ADVOCATE EXTREMIST TELEOLOGY.

THE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION INCLUDES FUNDRAISING, ATTENDING RALLIES, RECRUITMENT, AND TRAINING.

>> WHAT THEY DIDN'T DO, HOWEVER , IS AT A PROHIBITION OF MEMBERSHIP IN WHITE NATIONALIST ORGANIZATIONS.

>> Reporter: USES THE MILITARY'S DECISION NOT TO BAN MEMBERSHIP IN EXTREMIST GROUPS IS A MISTAKE.

>> THE ACTIVE JOINING AN ORGANIZATION IN MAKING THAT LEAP TO BECOME A MEMBER IS ALREADY ASSIGNED THAT YOU ARE DEEPLY AMASSED INSIDE THE ORGANIZATION'S RANKS.

>> Reporter: THE ISSUE SERVICED IN SAN DIEGO EARLIER THIS YEAR OVER REPORTS THAT THE MARINE OF OUR BEST SON OF A LOCAL REPUBLICAN LEADER TRIED TO JOIN A NOTORIOUS NEO-NAZI GROUP.

IT IS MASKED BY SOME MANIPULATION IN DIFFERENT ARENAS .

I WON'T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL.

BUT I JUST THINK IT IS DEFINITELY STILL THERE.

IT'S JUST WELL HIDDEN.

>> Reporter: AND MARINE SPOKESMAN TOLD KPBS THAT THE COURT IS INVESTIGATING HIM, BUT IT IS UNCLEAR IF HE WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF THE MILITARY'S NEW POLICY, AND LACEY DID MORE THAN JUST JOIN THE PATRIOT FRONT.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE NEW RULES FOR BID SERVICEMEMBERS FROM LIKING OR SHARING EXTREMIST POSTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL CONSORTIUM FOR THE STUDY OF TERRORISM AND RESPONSE TO TERRORISM SAYS THE CONSTANT PRESENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA MEETS THIS CHANGE VITAL, BUT HE HAS HEARD CONCERNS.

>> A LOT OF PUSHBACK LIKE THIS IS OVERREACH AND THAT THEY ARE GOING TO KICK SOMEBODY OUT OF THE MILITARY FOR RE-TWEETING OR REPOSTING SOMETHING.

ISN'T THAT SILLY?

WELL, NO, NOT AT ALL.

I THINK WHAT THE DOD HAS RECOGNIZED IS THE SOCIAL MEDIA MATTERS.

>> Reporter: HOWEVER, THE MILITARY IS THOMAS CRANEY IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA OF ITS SERVICEMEMBERS, EVEN THOUGH POLLING PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY SHOWS ROUGHLY A THIRD HAVE ENCOUNTERED RACIST IN WHITE SUPREMACIST VIEWS.

>> THE PROBLEM IS ENDEMIC.

WHEN THOSE FIRMEST MEMBERS GO TO REPORT THAT, IT IS UNCLEAR AS TO HOW THAT IS HANDLED, AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE CLEAR PROCEDURES FOR DISCIPLINE AND FOR RESPONSE.

>> Reporter: BURKART SAYS IT IS A SHORT CONTRAST.

CONSIDER THAT PROOF OF ADULTERY BY SERVICEMEMBER CAN LEAD TO DOCKED PAY, DISCHARGE, AND EVEN CONFINEMENT.

THE NAVY THAT BELIEVES IT WILL BE TOUGH TO CONVINCE THE MILITARY PRICE TO TAKE THE SAME HARD-LINE ON EXTREMISTS.

>> SO DEEPLY ROOTED INTO EVERYTHING THEY DO.

IF THEY STARTED TO UNRAVEL THAT THREAD, IT'S GOING TO BREAK APART A HUGE STRUCTURE THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY BUILT, CAUSING THEM TO HAVE TO REBUILD IT ALL OVER AGAIN.

>> Reporter: AMITA SHARMA, KPBS NEWS.

UNLESS YOU ARE SHOWN.

BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE PATIENCE WITH THEM, TOO, BECAUSE THEY DON'T PICK IT UP RIGHT AWAY.

>> Reporter: ONE OF THOSE PATIENT TEACHERS AT THE TECH TANK IS GONZALES, WHO HAS A COMPUTER SCIENCE DEGREE AND IS BILINGUAL.

HE SAYS, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THE ELDERLY FACE ARE FAMILIAR TO ALL OF US.
