Good morning, it's Tuesday, November 12th. I’m Kyle Sauerhoefer and here are today's headlines from the Mercury News. Expect cloudy skies this morning, but it’ll become just partly cloudy later this afternoon. The high today is around 75. It’ll be cloudy tonight, with a low of 53. Our top story is: The McFarland Police Department knew that many of its officers had dubious backgrounds — but it hired them anyway.
