Reporter it was almost two years after john geer died on his front doorstep before Police Released the name of the officer who shot him, adam torres, and it took a lawsuit and a court order for that to happen. Now a special Police Practices commission has been reviewing procedures as a result. They were spending my money, my taxpayer money, to keep secrets from me. They were hiring a lawyer to write a letter to senator grassley to try to avoid giving him information that the commonwealths attorney should have had, that the u. S. Attorney should have had, the Justice Department should have had without a fight and that they should be for the most part releasing to the public spry early on. Reporter this report says that communication very early on. Reporter this report says that communications by the police to the public and media in high profile use of force cases like the john geer case has been mishandled and has eroded the public trust. Fairfax county was a little behind the times in communications. In fact, they had a culture of secrecy for a very long time.

Joining us now is face the nation host john dick areson and rick perry is on your dickerson and rick perry is on your show this weekend, but i got a sense its going to be donald trump dominating the conversation. Thats right. Perry is really taking on the donald. Were also going to talk to rand paul who is taking another approach talking about the issues he wants to talk about and well have joe manchin from West Virginia to talk about the shooting this week. What do you think manchin will opine regarding the gun control issue and the shooting in louisiana . I think hell basically say its a tragedy thats not likely to lead to new gun control measures. He tried once before after the newtown shooting and its gotten nowhere and the political situation hasnt changed any. My guess is that is what hell say, but hopefully he should give us some insight about what the process is like from his experience and whether hes going to try and give it one more shot. All right.

Causing disruption to business which havent i havent and i threatened the well being of a customer, which i never threatened him and truthfully just, you know, i stood up for these people. Its a shock. Starbucks says they share rowens concern over parking and theyre trying to work with the landlord, but they will not tolerate him disrupting what they call their welcoming environment. Might be a case of mind your own business. A surprising twist in Southern California where an elusive bank robber doubled the snowboard bandit is now doubled the snowbird bandit is now in police dubbed the snowbird bandit is now in police custody. His family turned him in and his bank robbing ways were cut short. For 21 years he was a detective for the l. A. Police department. Its shocking to know that he, in fact, at 1 time was enforcing thand probably investigating crimes like robberies or Bank Robberies or those type of things. It is indeed a little shocking. Adair was nicknamed the snowbird bandit because hes old are and has white player. Older hair.

Apparently brown and his promoter were paid in full 1 million before the show was canceled, but brown said look, i call back to make up for what i had to cancel. So why did they have to make him stay there . Something is missing in that story. Something we dont know. Try to track it down maybe. Sports have been cracking down on performance enhancing drugs for years. Yeah, but now there is a focus on ridding peds from video game competitions. Did you know about that . I did not. It started after one gamer claimed the use of adderall runs rampant in the competition. The Electronic Sports League will introduce policies to keep those drugs out.

Saturday is going to be hot but not humid tomorrow. Were in pretty good shape, hot and humid sunday, a stray thunderstorm possible. I would not plan around it and it is not yellow alert worthy just yet, isolated storms on monday and tuesday, in fact, a much better chance of isolated storms early next week. So 10 00 on the futurecast we have temps in the 70s, even downtown. By morning were in the 60s. We had 50s this morning. I dont think well see any 50s tonight but pretty refreshing. Get your cup of coffee at leesburg, gaithersburg, bowie, 66, 67. Thats a good deal. By 10 00 around 82 downtown, upper 70s to near 80 in the suburbs, pure sun. By 2 00 were near 90 downtown. We should make it into the low 90s tomorrow. By 6 p. M. Im not buying that shower. I think all the showers will be well south. Even by 6 00 were mid to upper 80s but not that humid. By 8 30 tomorrow, you can plan stuff tomorrow night, too. It will be 85 at 7 30 and 83 in leesburg and 82 in manassas by 8 30 tomorrow night. So day planner, remember, these 73 to start, 79 at 9 00, 84 at 11 00 and 89, almost 90, probably will be 90 by 1 00. So sunday more humid, isolated storm by 94, better chance of isolated storms by monday, 91, not yellow alert worthy yet. Tuesday isolated storms, low 90s. Now wednesday and thursday may become yellow alerts for heat, were 90s wednesday, thursday,ite upper 90s wednesday, thursday, isolated storms on friday. Training camp starts friday in richmond.
