Election. Abc News Reporter, jonathan carl, at the capitol. Reporter President Trump today said that he decided on his own to fire james comey. Hes as grand stander. The fbi had been in turmoil. The president says he decided to fire comey way before the attorney general weighed in. There is no good time to do it. When i decided to just did, i said to myself, you know this russia thing with trump and russia, is a made up story. The director told him hes not under investigation three separate times including during a dinner at the white house, a dinner that comey requested. I said well consider and well see what happens. Comey assured him he was not only investigation in two separate phone calls. I said if it is possible, will you let me know am i under investigation. He said you are not under investigation. I know that i am not under investigation. I am not talking about campaigns. I am not under investigation. Is it inappropriate for the president of the United States to ask the fbi di

Are the things that will happen here in the rest of the triangle area overnight and into the mom morning than the rain comes back. You see a slow but steady eastward shift in precipitation shield, nothing severe, just a big blob of rain. Looking at estimates in terms of how much has fallen, very, very, uniform. If i do a pixel crary around raleigh, you see a 107s, durham seven tenths, roanoke a tt over it is, Rocky Mountain a little over in his. Not much variance here.

Quality of life of people of color. Were here because no one has put a leash on killer cops, so i have five recommendations. They are, here we go. Number one, we need to have a legitimate citizen review board with the power to fire officers for misconduct. Most cities have Police Complaints as we do here in d. C. But they do not have these powers. They are paper tigers and we need to give them power so they are actually responsible to the people they are serving. We should require significant number of police who work in that community to live in that community. That has been found unconstitutional to live in designated areas, how can overcome challenging rulings in court to reflect similar requirements for local politicians forced to live in areas they do represent.

Environment as it can be. And one of the things that occurs is these incendiary comments that are coming from the Union Leaders that actually worsen the situations instead of improving it. And what happens is some of the comments from Union Leaders achieve the opposite of what the Union Leaders want to achieve. They actually make Police Officers lives more put them at more risk. So i think itll be great for unions to understand that our job is to protect our members. But, you know, our job is to also serve the public and their voice matter and certain things they feel, if they feel like certain things are occurring, a way that its not supposed to we should take heed to that and listen to them.
