Officer charged with murder. Michael slager joined the force six years ago. Personnel records show a complaint against him two years ago for improper use of force with a taser. Slager was exonerated but the man who filed the complaint and his attorney spoke today about what they call a systematic problem within the police department. We believe that as the citizens start listening were going to uncover other instances of where there have been aggressive behavior. Reporter investigators and the public continue to scrutinize cell phone video of the shooting. One big question why does slager appear to retrieve an object from the ground near where the shots were fired and drop it by scotts body . The scott family attorney believes that object was the taser slager initially used to try to subdue scott. He then took that back to where mr. Scotts body was and essentially planted the taser directly beside mr. Scotts body. Reporter another troubling question why are no officers seen on video performing cpr when the initial report says they did . There are questions that i have in my mind that i cant answer right now. Reporter no quick or easy answers in a case thats reignited debate over Deadly Police force. Michael slager has been denied bail and fired from his job on the police force. His Attorney Says it is still too early to comment. In North CharlestonSouth Carolina im sarah dallof news4. Im lawrencechris lawrence at the live desk. We just heard from Elijah Cummings about the most recent scandal to hit the secret service. Thethe Washington Post was the first to report the agency put a highranking supervisor on administrative leave. The post says Xavier Morales made unwanted sexual advances towards a coworker. Hes being investigated for allegations of misconduct and potential criminal activity but he has not yet been charged with a crime. Congressman cummings serves on the house xhet committee that oversees the secret service. He says while the most recent allegations are disturbing hes glad at least in this case director Joseph Clancy was notified immediately and took action. He cannot control every action of every officer. But when these things happen he has to send a message that there will be zero tolerance as to these types of activities. And so im very pleased about that. But, again, we have a lot of work to do. The president s life is on the line and weve got to protect it. Cummings says that the secret Service Needs to restore a culture of responsibility rather than one of mediocrity and complacency. Doreen . Chris lawrence thank you.

Veronica, many thousands of us are trying to make our plans to see the Cherry Blossoms. Whats your advice . The advice is it will be just fine. This weekend. But friday afternoon some caution, we will see some wind i think around the tidal basin that could take down some of the blossoms that have opened.

And the ones who do. These are the kings and queens of america. Things did not go well down there today. One error, three runs. Yeah. Thankfully in baseball the seasons 162 games long. You can make up for days like this. Because of injury the month of april might not give us a great preview of what to expect from the nationals this season. So far the nats have scored only six runs in three games. Not only is the offense not in rhythm but defense far from perfect. Shortstop ian desmond having the most trouble. Another costly error today for desmond. Great pitching matchup at the ballpark. Stephen strasburg on the mound for the nats taking on the ace for the Mets Matt Harvey making his first start since returning from tommy john surgery. Scoreless in the top of the third, strassburg facing david right. This looks like a doubleplay ball but desmond, he boots it. His third nair three games. That mistake gets magnified. Later in the inning mets up a run, Daniel Murphy hits a chopper here strassburg and Ryan Zimmerman almost collide. Another run gets across. Mets are up 20. Not going the nationals way today. This is travis hits a ball into shallow cent right there, finds some grass. The mets are up 40. Strassburg went 5 1 3 innings, gave up nine hit, six runs, but just three of those earned runs. As for matt harvey he was on fire. His first start since the 2013 season he struck out nine nationals over six shutout innings of baseball. Harvey he gets the w, strassburg gets the l. The nats they fall 63. Afterwards desmond talked about his fielding issues. I wish i would have put myself in a better position. A different hop. I wasnt expecting the ball to bounce up like that. But like i said, the object is to convert the balls that are rolling into outs. Wasnt able to do that. Cant let those things affect you. Those guys are will go out there and give it everything they have every single day. Thats all im expecting. Next up for the nationals, they are in philadelphia for a threegame set with the phillies. Gio gonzalez he will get the start tomorrow for the nats. Moving to football the nfl released preseason schedules today for all 32 teams.
