We turn to Antioch with 2 developing stories…on June 23, the community rallied to support the Angelo Quinto Community Response Team and to decry racism they say still resides in city government. We hear sounds from that rally. During homeless encampment sweeps in downtown Antioch, ahead of 4th of July festivities, an Antioch police officer was filmed punching an unhoused resident in the face after she refused to move again after stopping to rest.
