We did get a chance to look at it. Its backing up what police are now saying about their actions. That they were called. They went to the party in may because of a 911 call. Now they know the 911 call was false. And the police are admitting they were in the wrong. The more than 30 minutes of thes Police Body Cam video is not much different than the cell phone clips showing angry party goers and the angry police. What it shows is from the outset, the responding officers who escalatedded tension. One officer in particular screaming at student who answers the door touching off angry protest from those inside the apartment. The officers involved, the one officer in 80 hours. There are other issues here with supervision im following up on. Brad officers were called by people who had been excluded from the party and who fabricated a story about a fight. Are and a weapon. Mitchell said the officers should have seen that the party was peaceful and moved along. Im embarrassed and humiliated by the actions of arrivessers. It shouldnt have happened this way.

Richard spokesperson mike murphy says in regular Text Messages cell phone location and geography were factors. One will get the text immediately and another gets it four or five minutes later.

Scott no official word from the trump camp. No official speak from mike pences office. However that is not lack of speculation there is plenty out there.

Indianas governor mike pence auditioned for the job and now media there says he has got it. The former sixterm congressman recently skyrocketed in the veep stakes between he, Newt Gingrich and chris christie. I dont know whether he will be your governor or your Vice President. I truly believe that donald trump has the right vision for america. Scott pence has no shortage of supporters on capitol hill. Mike pence is a classmate of mine and a friend. I will go with him. Scott but pence disagreed with trump on two seminole, is in the past. Last december treating out calls to offensive and unconstitutional and trading the Controversial Partnership trade deal that trump opposes. But pence could calm those who are uneasy at the top of the ticket. We saw it in the conservative social circles. Fiscal conservative. He is a smart opportunity. He has governed effectively. He would be a great audition the ticket great addition to the ticket. Scott trump tweeted out tomorrow at 11 00 in manhattan he will make the big announcement regarding the v. P.

Meeting. They discuss how it will work on the floor, how the convention unfolds. There is a small contingent of people who believe if they change the rules one way or another they might open the door for someone to come in and surprise everyone to be the nominee instead of trump. Its by most standards a long shot. But the discussion is taking place over the intrigue in cleveland for six or seven days. Leon we love intrigue. We will see you in cleveland. Thank you. Alison here is a question. Who pays for the conventions . How much do they really cost . Coming up at abc7 news at 5 00 why one reporter is actually suing to find out.

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that firefighters at the resort were ordered to stop feeding the gators about two months before this happened. 2yearold lane gravers lane graves was pulled in the water a half a mile from where the firefighters were feeding the gators.

Leon wow well, meanwhile, back at home, we are in the grip of the second heatwave of the summer. Old mr. Golden sun was beating down on us bigtime today, sending mercury to the highest temperatures of the year so far. Kevin lewis is live in Silver Spring where folks are trying to beat the heat any way they can. Kevin . Kevin doesnt it seem when the temps are this high nothing tastes better than water. Ive downed two so fa t on a typical day in the field i barely get through one. We set up shop in front of a water fountain. A pretty sight. But it doesnt do much to cool you down. Today was by no means ideal for construction work. Yet, samuel and his crew got by with rest, shade and hydration. Did you sweat at all today . Yeah. Yeah. Have you drank a lot of water today . Yeah. Really. Its hot. Kevin at pump sunshine in Silver Spring, executive director curt kerry declared a code red day after seeing the u. V. Index hit nine on a tenpoint scale. Code red meant moving 1,100 campers and 200 counselors indoors for the whole day. We have more planned at the outdoor wellness station. We are doing smores on the inside. We have an assembly outside but well bring it kevin the only indoor swim center. Provided a refreshing reprieve for kids and adults alike. I dont have to worry about her getting sun burned or anything and she just plays in the pool. Kevin with forecasted highs in the 90s through the end of next week. D. C. Trash and recycling crews will start pickup an hour earlier at 6 00 a. M. All to beat the heat. Coming from someone who has had heat stroke before, if you head outside with temps this warm, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. If you are outdoors you start to get a headache or feel any weakness, get to the a. C. Immediately and lay down. Heat stroke is not something to mess with. Chief meteorologist doug hill is joining us now. It sounds like this advice, you will need it for a few more days. Doug we have variations up and down a little bit. An hour ago the temperature hit 98 degrees at Reagan National airport. That was far today. In the past hour, temperatures dropped a few degrees. So we are past maximum heating and we will slowly, very slowly start to cool off. The humidity will remain high. In the next few days we will bounce back and forth from the upper 80 to the lower to the middle 90s. There is more to go. We approach now the middle of july. 80 in spotsylvania, virginia. The reason its cooler there. ; . Ke a look at the sky and you will find out. Tracking thunderstorms that pass to the southwest but they got clipped a little bit. But enough for a down burst of wind. Cooled down to 80 degrees with only a little bit of rain and now the sun is back shining over spotsylvania. With no relief in the form of rain its brutally hot and humid with a heat advisory continuing until 8 00 p. M. This evening across the area shaded in orange with an excessive heat warning farther northeast to philadelphia and the delaware valley. As far as tonight, its a slow drop from 98 to 95 in reaan 96 in Silver Spring where kevin is at the moment. 94 in springfield and dale city. Off to the east, not much difference. 94 in largo. What it feels like amends, couple of degrees cooler. It felt like 105 an hour ago at Reagan National. Now 101. Its a slow process. So even when the sun goes down we have a feels like temperature in the 90s for probably a couple of hours past sunset and beyond. As far as the possibility of cooling showers. We see one moving south and east of fredericksburg to the Northern Neck and the potomac river. Farther west, west of interstate 81. More forth west in west virginia. We will keep an eye on those. Its possible they could make it to the mountain or the metro area or the Southern Suburbs tonight but they are few and far between generally. Once we get through the evening hours here, until 2 00 or 3 00 in the morning is when we see the minimum temperatures. But its muggy. There is a little fog high humidity levels expected around the area. For tomorrow, a quick warmup tomorrow. We will hit 90 by noon. 94 in the afternoon. We have no rain in the forecast. Humidity levels are not as high as today. Dont know that we have a heat advisory. Not impossible. Right now i suspect not. Getting in the weekend, we look as though numbers will hover around 90 degree mark. Upper 80s. A cool front. Give us the showers and the thunderstorms. 90 degrees. No rain in the forecast sunday. Monday back to 94 degree range. Another chance of showers and storms. Tuesday is 90. Upper 80s on wednesday and thursday. So it goes in washington for middle of july. Leon 88 will feel like a breeze.
