Thats exactly what happened. It came in the wake of the murders of those five Dallas Police officers on thursday and also following an emotional weekend where chief majors says he has had conversation after conversation with his Law Enforcement officers in Montgomery County. Talks that were bother raw and blunt about the risks and responsibilities of police work in the current climate we are in. To say that bad is an under statement. To say that theyre warn done and demorelize is accurate. But every man and woman i spoke with finished the conversation by saying, but chief, we got to do our job. Chief majors meeting with the president and Vice President took place in the west ring.

May have been too broad at time in condemning Police Action before all the information is known. Then i told him, i said, but mr. President , i said, i believe that the place that many cops have is that you, the department of justice and im talking about the former attorney general, had rushed to judgment on certain of these cases.

Following last weeks Police Shooting in dallas, the largest federal police union wants the white house to go blue in honor of the five officers killed. The Organization Says president obama has ignored their request. That controversy is now going beyond the beltway sparking controversy on social media. The headline in Police Magazine reads white house ignored requests to illuminate white house in ue john addler, president of the federal Law Enforcement officer Association Foundation sent the request to the white house to do the same as the Governors Mansion in texas. Light it up in blue. Add ler wrote i respectfully ask that all elected officials drop their scripted speeches and feel the pain resinating in dallas and across the country. Light a blue candle and say a silent prayer but dont insult the Law EnforcementCommunity Five heros made the ultimate sacrifice and it would be a tribute to their service by illuminating the white house in blue. Silence from the white house on the matter prompted someone to create this fake circulating on social media. It shows the white house purple following princes death. It was never bathed in purple. It was bathed in rainbow colors after same sex marriage in 2015 and in 13 illuminated in pink to mark Breast Cancer awareness month. A tweet shows what the white house did do and that was issuing a proclamation ordering flags over the white house on all public buildings and grounds and all military posts and naval stations and naval vessels to be lowered to half is to have. In response, the Union Foundation president issued the following statement. While we appreciate the president s proclamation to have our flags flown at half staff in honor of our heros, i respectfully request thatty demonstrate his full respect by illuminating the white house in blue. Actions speak louder than scripted words and the honorable would demonstrate the president s sincere commitment to our fallen heros and their families. We took the matter to twitter, asking y thought the white house should honor the federal Police Unions request. 62 percent of you said yes. They should. Light up in blue to honor the fallen officers. 38 percent of you say no. They shouldnt. I think the problem is, if they do that for this issue, when someone else dies or whereas. Where do you draw the line. Theyve always lowered the flags to half staff, you know, for, you know, death and thats kind of how they marked it where some of these other things have not been marking. If you believed that of the white house turning purple, but yes, it was egregious but faun that wasnt the case. Powerful words from alton sterling 15yearold son.

Although i believe just a little bit longer because the storm moved on out. I wanted to point out this, this is a week cold front that we call an out flow boundary that came from one of the storms across maryland and that might continue to trigger a few more showers tonight. But heres why the flood warping was issued for Anne Arundel County and again we dont see any presip now. It has moved out. Earlier our radar was estimating storm produce about three and a half inches of rain. They had a one or two roads that were closed and that was kind of a very sudden situation. Lets hope it gets a little bit better. Any of the storms we even see later i dont think there will be a lot paw i believe this next batch is going to go to to our south. They will be capable of producing heavy rain and theyre slow movies. Here are the headlines for tomorrow. Its all about the heat and humidity. You thought today was hot. Tomorrow could be 96 degrees. And we could also pick up a few storms, one or two st severe storms, certainly heavy downpours, were going to stay hot through the weekend and most should be dry, although the forecast could be a little bit challenging for the weekend in terms of where frontal boundaries sets up. Check out the heat tomorrow. 96, friday, 94. Saturday, 92. Keep it hot through tuesday of next week. We already got a hot start today at 90 at reagan and dulles 92, but bwi relative speaking at 86.
