officer then grabbed mr. stirling by the neck, and began taking him to the ground. while four other officers joined him. >> and his lawyer says a sixth officer joined in, and tased frank stirling, who was already being handcuffed and not resisting, for at least five straight seconds. >> he is not doing anything! >> it kind of left me, you know, why would they do this to me when i wasn't resisting? >> reporter: it was like dij@ vu for stirling, who also says he was assaulted by antioch officers back in 2009. >> i was beaten with flashlights and fist, i was too unconscious, and kicked in the face. >> reporter: stirling says the main instigator who delivered most of that abuse was officer rick kaufman, who most recently was the head of the police union. hoffman is one of dozens of apd officers linked to recent racist text messaging and civil rights investigations, being investigated by the fbi and

county da's office. in fact, the da tells us they are adding 10 attorneys to both the district attorney's, and the public defender's offices to do focused directly on prior cases involving the officers connected to the text messaging scandal. it will cost the county just over $2 million per year, and could involve cases going back years. >> our case is ongoing. i believe we are looking into whether i was specifically targeted, because of my activism, and because of my reporting. >> reporter: stirling's suit names the city of antioch, five uniformed pop officers, the community service officers as defendants. frank stirling and his attorney don't just want the attorney to investigate though, they want a wider investigation and federal oversight, much like oakland pd has had, because they say the racist, homophobic, and abuse environment here in the department has been going on for decades. in antioch, thom jensen, nbc bay area news.

response and at that point went to the fire station to get help, because the bullet hit her side, he said. the little girl, who said is known for her smile and dancing is still sedated and recovering. she has already undergone two surgeries to repair internal organs, damaged by the bullet. doctors tell the family more surgeries may be needed. >> we are trying to stay strong and wait to hear more news. >> reporter: is a says he never got a good look at the gunman, because he was trying to shield his family from the gunfire. investigators say a surveillance video shows the man at the corner of 11th avenue shooting at vehicles and says it is clear maia's family was not the target. he says he wants them to get whoever did this, as jose waits for his daughter to recover, he says he is already making plans to move out of the city and refuses to raise his kids in oakland. i am frustrated. you call police and they don't show up, or you get there late.

you can't do anything in oakland anymore, he says. maia's family says she is waiting to hear from this latest surgery, to determine what recovery will look like. they say it could still be weeks until she is released from the hospital. in the east bay, velena jones, nbc, bay area news. we are back in 60 seconds. the dangers of illegal fireworks that cost an east bay middle school or the cost of his hand. police say they have a new lead in that case. also, is there still a chance that the a's stay in the state? an exclusive interview. pollen is high, so urology is probablybugging from this .

>> while the chief says he won't sugarcoat the situation he also says he is confident the department can win back the public trust. here is nbc bay area's jodi hernandez. >> i am disappointed, angry, hurt, it is embarrassing to the organization. it is embarrassing to the profession we call american policing. it is embarrassing to the city and the citizens. so, it is just a very, very unfortunate set of circumstances. >> reporter: antioch city police chief, stephen ford says the races text messages several of his officers are accused of sending mind blowing. federal investigators recently investigated dozens of messages in west various offices dehumanize people of color and brag about roughing up suspects. >> very demeaning, very degrading, obviously. whether american or not, i hope that anyone can see that those sentiments were those statements are inappropriate

and have no place in the society. >> reporter: forte points out the messages who that were written and shared prior to him taking the helm of the department. he says, the moment he learned of them, he immediately put those at the center of the scandal on administrative leave. however, he declined to say how many officers who were on the text threads are still working. an independent investigation is still underway. he says, every officer who got the texts, including those who did not actively participate, could face consequences for not speaking up. >> i think every officer has an obligation. when you see something wrong, inappropriate, you should stand up and say something. >> reporter: forte says the scandal and the fallout has left the department with just 61 officers available to patrol the city. while he insists the department still has enough officers to keep antioch safe, he is also not opposed to federal oversight to help turn things around. >> i want to do whatever it takes to get this organizational chart.

i want to pull out every resource we can pull out. whether federal resources, external resources, it doesn't matter. i want to make sure we leave no stone unturned, in terms of garnering and pulling every resource at my disposal to get this organization on track. >> ford acknowledges public trust has been deeply damaged, and he says he understands how many are feeling. >> being an african-american male i wasn't always in this uniform, so i've had my unpleasant experiences also, as a young man, with this thing we call american policing. so, i'm very much in tune with what they are thinking and feeling, because i've had some of the same experiences. >> reporter: chief ford says his door is open to anyone in the city who wants to talk. he says he is committed to rebuilding and reframing the department. >> it is a bad situation. let me be clear. but it is not insurmountable. it is not insurmountable. and have to approach this, as if the gas glass is half full, not half empty.

>> he expects the internal investigation will be completed a couple of weeks. >> i am very confident that, again, when the smoke clears we will be in a better place. >> reporter: in antioch, judy hernandez, nbc bay area news. police are searching for a man accused of an illegal fireworks of a middle school in pleasant hill. security video shows a man lighting a fire work and leaving on campus sunday, april 16th. at the time it smoked, but in the did not exploit. a student took up that firework , and it later exploded in his hand. that 14-year-old suffered significant hand injuries. >> but we won't know. we want no, until the investigation is concluded, exactly what it was. certainly, a substantial amount of gunpowder for the explosion that we know happened. >> if you have any information regarding the identity of this person here, in pleasant hill middle school, you are encouraged to contact pleasant

hill pd. let's check in one word time with our meteorologist, jeff, we saw a really high temps today. we will get a little bit of a respite from that. >> we certainly are, numbers will started with an especially as we go through this weekend. the thing i am monitoring as we go through tomorrow's forecast is the high pressure that brought some low and mid 90s inland. that will move off to the east. a few degrees cooler off towards tomorrow, and then we will begin to see the system in the pacific which will eventually bring us some rain. i have all of those details coming up right now in that forecast. so, as we get you and we will start off with tomorrow morning on our forecast. tgif a little bit earlier here. we will begin here with plenty of 50s, some fog near the bay, and the coast to start. that will have us at 58 in south bay, san francisco, 52, and some of that fog will get some drizzle, and the east bay, 57. daytime highs for tomorrow, that pressure off to the east, we will drop about six degrees.

overall it will still be a warm day, and i think, enjoyable at this point, considering what is coming our way next week. so, make sure to get outside and soak it up, over to the east bay, some of the best weather right there, from oakland to hayward. we are at 76 to 79 degrees. head over to the east bay hills and much hotter. 89 there in concord. peninsula, you've got cool 60s here at the coast and down to redwood city, 83, after some cities in the mission today. we've got some 60s down here tomorrow at least in downtown, and for the north bay, 86 in sonoma. so, numbers stay on the warmer side, at least through saturday's forecast, by sunday, temperatures fumble. and here we go again. it does not want to quit us this year. it has been good for the rub reservoirs in the drought, we had all the storm damage and some of us are just tired of it, but the good thing about this is that it is at least going to help out our polling and at least give us one more hit their of that rainfall to

help us out and continue to keep that fire season at least pushed back. so, what i'm looking at right now is the storm system dropping down next week. the new thing i'm seeing, at least the way things are trending right now, it would actually set up towards the pacific, and that is important, because it would help to pulling more moisture. right now, increasing rain chances, colder 60s and some sierra snow. so, i will show you rain chances. monday next week i am sing a quarter to an half an inch here across the bay area. we could see a storm system swing back and hit as a second time, by next friday for an additional quarter to three quarters. next week, estimates show a half to 1 1/2 quarter inches. we will have have updates as we get closer, but the other thing i want to show you is the sierra snow. we may be looking at a foot or more across the higher elevations. that will be good, because it will slow down the snow melt and some of the flooding problems we are seeing in the foothills and down through parts of the central valley. so, right here on the seven-day

forecast, check it out. we will be getting closer, 67 in san francisco, it picks up sunday and monday, and those rain chances as we roll through next week's forecast in the inland valleys. 86, saturday, 74 sunday, 60s next week with those chances of rain. weekend, hurry up and get here. >> yeah, we are almost at friday, 40 minutes from now. >> it is weekend like tomorrow. >> thank you, jeff. happening tonight, no vote now on the done of diesel big rex. they heard from dozens of people though. the proposed rule would ban the sale of diesel big rex by 2036. supporters say the measure would reduce air pollution, but opponents argue that electric opponents argue that electric trucks cost too ♪♪ alexex! mateo, hey y how's busisiness? alexex! great. y you know ththat n has s really wororked wonder. thatat's what u.u.s. bank isis. great. y you know ththat n has s really wororked wonder. and d you're grorowing in calififornia? great. y you know ththat n has s really wororked wonder. -yup, , socal, nororcal... -monteterey? -all d day. -a brancnch in ventutura?
