Very important for the community to really be sure, you know, and be safe and make sure the police are not there to intimidate, but to be part of the community.

And today is going to be the coolest day of the next several. 68 saturday and near 70 sunday and monday. Best chance of breaking the record is on sunday. That record set in 1923. And heres why, because as warm as it is here, its even warmer in cincinnati, 70s in nashville, 76 in little rock, arkansas, and in dallas. Even 66 in wichita, kansas.
