On this episode of WTF California, we talk about the great job Pittsburg Police Department is doing with its transparency after an officer involved shooting which prompts discussion of why can’t Antioch Police release more video, especially after the incident involving the actions of Tamisha Walker and her children. We get into the arrest of a suspect in the attack of elderly victims in Oaklands Chinatown. We also bring up Assemblyman Even Low’s Tweet asking if there needs to be more laws to protect Asians. We also talk about protesting at people’s homes such as what occurred in Sacramento at Darrell Steinberg.

The district struck an agreement with its teachers union on Thursday to offer so-called “learning labs” to certain groups of students — those who lack reliable internet access at home, who are receiving below-standard grades, who have disabilities and are not meeting special education goals, who have “intense support needs,” who struggle to learn English, or who need social or emotional support, such as homeless students, foster youth and chronically absent students.
