post about the newborn dog in phoenix. she rushed over to the dumpster and found the dog wrapped in a bag. >> i don't see how people could be so heartless for anything living. >> yeah. she took the dog to the emergency animal clinic. they named the dog panda. she says she'll take care of the dog until a family adopts it. how could anyone do that. >> no words when you hear a story like that. great she was able to get there in time to take care of that pup. >> who doesn't like a baby panda. >> hey, in this town. >> no kidding. >> what should we call this chuck, dog days of spring here. >> you're og to need a fur coat. >> it was crazy. went out for a cup of coffee. people in scarves in puffer coats. ridiculous. >> it was really cold. we showed you the video-of- snowflakes across northern maryland. snowing but only across high northern maryland. that's where snowflakes will

afternoon shower possible but not likely tomorrow. then we dry out and back to warmer weather later in the week. how about 78. >> we're not mad at you chuck. >> couldn't be. >> we're going to get there. 78 is on the way. next up also on the way reporters notebook for you, a look at stories affecting our community. >> back in 15 minutes with more of the top stories. good morning, welcome to reporters notebook. i'm pat lawson muse. we begin in virginia where a special grand jury will decide whether a fairfax county police officer should face criminal charges for killing an unarmed man. john gear was shot by officer adam torres who was checking out a domestic dispute in august 2013. earlier this week the county agreed to pay nearly $3 million to the family of gear to selling a wrongful death suit. the civil settlement creates an unusual situation, joe madison, where you have a civil case settled before prosecutors even decide whether to file criminal charges in this case. typically it's the other way

around. >> i'm not a lawyer and i've never heard it done that way. i don't know why. the real question here that we obviously have to discuss is does it have any impact on the criminal charges. will the civil charges and what is allowed to be brought into the criminal charges. i really don't know. and it will be interesting to see what happens with that. >> what about the pr nightmare that has created for fairfax police? >> it's really a mess. the board of supervisors for fairfax county has come out and said this gives us a chance to really re-evaluate what we do and how we do it. i think what she's going to be reevaluating is the fact it took them 16 months to release information about the shooting even to name the officer who shot greer. that only came on the heels of

the lawsuit by greer's girlfriend who was in the home who sued the county. i think from a public relations standpoint is an issue and you still have federal and state investigations look into this. >> the whole procedure in fairfax i think was an eyebrow raiser for a lot of people. it was interesting, sort of a preliminary curtain raiser to all the incidents we've seen in the years since then. ferguson new york baltimore, tulsa, oklahoma, so many interactions where police and black citizens have become such a cause celeb. there in a nut shell, although we didn't have body cam, distinctly weren't and i don't think there was much of an argument made at the time that we should have had something like that although people would think that. >> i was also going to say civil charges doesn't necessarily mean admission of guilt. sometimes what happens in civil charges is just what we've been discussing. you can have civil charges, then

that leads to policy changes, because that can be part of the agreement in the civil charge. you therefore can move ahead to the criminal charge because he still can be found innocent. you can have innocence in a criminal charge and still also have a civil charge against you. >> remember from the county stand pointish the word used throughout all these police departments is transparency and that's what you did not see with fairfax county police department. >> we have seen protests in d.c. dozens marched against police brutality and racial profiling this week and it follows the death of freddie gray in baltimore. he suffered a dramatic spinal cord injury and died a week later. police officers suspended without pay pending an investigation in the case. there are a lot of questions about this. baltimore has had a bad history of community relations. now people are looking at this and thinking of cases like

ferguson. >> and you will have these demonstrations all over the country. they are usually in sympathy i guess would be the appropriate word with what happens in baltimore. the reality is that one of the things i think they are really concerned about is this ten-day gap where officers in baltimore, and they don't do this in every city but officers in baltimore can wait 10 days before they are questioned by anyone. that's what i know my colleague larry young with radio one there has been calling for to change. he says that has to be an immediate change. >> bre mante, are you surprised to see the mayor and police chief under heavy fire. they are both african-american. >> no. i think that's what's happening here. the point you made earlier about the record in p baltimore and what's going on. we see the numbers in terms of lawsuits the millions the city

has already spent. so what i think we're seeing nowt say it is not becoming a racial issue because it still is even though greer was a white man who was killed but i think this issue is becoming so large that it's becoming more a topic and a push for changes and how obviously police are dealing with arresting people apprehending people body cam issues we haven't talked about, still in place in baltimore. they are till looking for video, what happens with freddie gray whether or not anyone has that outside of what we've seen so far. >> dave do you think we're seeing a resurgence of the protest? do the marchers need to move beyond protesting? >> we are seeing a resurgence in protest, but we're seeing a series of incidents that have sparked an awful lot of concern. the one followed the other. in baltimore, even though the leadership in baltimore is african-american the average we

talked among gops and i'm sure you all have, the guy in the street lady in the street whether they are black or white, we still have problems. there's still a problem with the police force. we've got to do something about it. that's the root of the issue and that's where we really have to move forward. >> you also have something in baltimore, something i heard earlier this week the president of the police union says we definitely have a problem of trust between the community and the police. you don't often hear that with the head of the union. he says we're going to have to address it in training. a lot of this goes back to training and how officers are trained. we're trained. it's us against him. that's the attitude that existed. the ral is let -- the reality is let us be honest this has been going on a long time in the black communities, hispanic

communities. the difference is everybody has a camera now. >> got to take a

lawyers for virginia's first lady say she did not get a fair trial because of mistakes and her conviction on corruption is based on overall predictions. this is arguments former attorneys used. >> you look at this and virginia has this strange law. she's probably thinking look the way we deal with bribery, quote, unquote in virginia is a little different than the rest of the country. the problem is if i'm not mistaken, this is federal court. so the definition is not based so much on the state definition

or law, it's based on the federal charge. >> dave is there any reason to think the federal court would treat arguments differently? >> assuming that the arguments are well-known in the court, from what i can tell from my reporting, it's hard to see how she makes a case. if her husband couldn't convince on those issues how could she. just to take up on joe and the way things are in virginia the full ramifications of this decision in this trial have not yet fully been appreciated. every elected official i know and talk to on the hill and we have a slightly different situation on the hill but in general it's the same they are beginning to wonder if i do something for a constituent, is it going to be seen as special pleading for them. am i going to be in jail someday or court. so the prosecutors here have moved this case in a certain direction. we'll just have to see how things turn out. >> sure it would be interesting

if she did get a new trial. >> it would. still waiting to see if the governor would get a new trial. the thing is if she's making the same argument as her husband, and a new trial given to the government how could you not give her a new trial also. what's interesting about the case what she's saying and lawyers are saying judge james spencer also really dependent do his job. he didn't vet the jurors in a way, template what is corruption what's not corruption. i think they are taking a stab in the dark. what helps her husband you have 44 states attorneys signing on saying sweeping political family under the rug. couldn't do anything. >> corruption. >> in maryland the general assembly has adjourned but the fight over school funding continues. many schools may have to lay off teachers, educators, local lawmakers, new governor to release $68 million in funding already budgeted by the general

assembly to big school systems they say this matters. montgomery county could lose hundreds of positions, prince george's schools facing a possible $20 million in losses. do you think governor hogan might give in on this? >> it's discretionary money so he does not have to give the money. one, montgomery county state senator said look we thought he would cut it out totally. this geographic cost index where you give more money as you mentioned to school districts who need it he doesn't have to give that money. but he wants to cut it 50%. he says these folks are saying give us more. he says help me find more money. where is it? i think it's going to be interesting whether or not he can be pushed into this. already legislation out there, we want to make this mandatory. can he vet okay push it off to next year. really i think what you have early scene setter of battle between a republican governor and democratically controlled

senate and legislature in maryland. >> a preview to the next general assembly session. >> yes, and also the fact isn't it ironic that the two districts he's using his discretion on happen to be the two districts that didn't vote for him, he didn't carry, montgomery county and prince george's county. this the same governor now governor who when he was a gubernatorial candidate talked about how significant education was because we're trying to attract business. well what attracts business more than having an excellent education system in your state, particularly in your two largest counties. so i don't know what he'll do but i think quite honestly he's going back on his promise as a candidate. >> does it look like that to you? >> here is the problem. he was elected on a platform of cutting costs, reducing the red ink in baltimore and around the

whole state for that matter. constituents a lot of disaffected folks looking for jobs out of work. they want better times. but if he goes too far in some of the basics then he's offending other people and he's not winning anything. if he goes too far in one direction he's in trouble. if he doesn't do enough in another he's got a problem. he has an interesting personality, ronald reagan personality, kind of happy talk. that only goes so far. >> that's called triple down. you talk about we're trying to create jobs but yet the first people are people who already have jobs state employees, public employees, so you put people out of work. >> his argument would be we're giving more money than ever been given before. the counter argument would be well it's mandatory it has to increase so it's going to go up every year anyway. you're really not doing any more than you're mandated to do. >> education the new currency of the 21st century.

he ought to understand that as a businessman. >> the governor says he's reviewing all options before deciding whether to release $68 million. thank you, gentlemen. thank you. that's reporters notebook. i'm pat lawson muse. "news 4 today" continues. people smashing windows. this is a new video you're looking at overnight. police arrested more than a dozen people in the city. protesters clash with police near camden yards. fans inside the stadium had to wait until police had demonstrations under control. asking for justice for a 25-year-old who died in custody. much more on this custody coming

well what's right and what isn't when it comes to warfare. the killing of hostages during u.s.-led drone attack is renewing that debate. >> joining us to talk about it more is moderator of "meet the press," chuck todd who had a very busy night. we're going to talk about the white house correspondents dinner later. the big story was these hostages which reignited the debate as adam mentioned. at this point can we expect any reforms to the program? >> that's the point, there were supposed to be changes and none of them happened. i'm going to have the president's former national

security adviser who was to write all these changes but they didn't do it. this is a case where they didn't just not know two hostages were there but targeted two americans al qaeda operatives that weren't supposed to be. this is a case something called a signature strike if you don't know who you're killing it's not a signature strike. the definition was supposed to be very targeted. talked to high-level folks saying this is a massive intelligence failure, a tough thing for the cia to deal with. this was sponge that was supposed to be taken out of the cia for the pentagon with a lot more joer sight to go with it. >> they don't even know for sure. there's secondhand evidence about these hostages being killed. >> exactly. they didn't know at the time. they found out instead of fourks they -- four they saw six.

after cell phone they figured out who was there. a lot of things can you really just do this from the air, surveillance from the air and strikes from the air. is it easier to pull the trigger if you're not risking anybody -- any life at all. so there's a lot of questions here. none of the presidentials wanted anything to do with the story. shows you they all want to talk about foreign policies. >> this is a tough one. >> another tough issue which we know put a lot of republican hopefuls in a bind same-sex marriage issue. scotus supreme court hearing coming up. what are we looking forward to. >> there seems to be this inevitability it's going to be legal in all 50 states. some social conservatives on the republican side feel too many people in the republican party have given up on this fight on

their end of things. i think you're going to see it become a primary issue in the fall. eventual nominee will be like what we've seen with other nominees trying to put it in the rearview mirror and move on. i think it's still going to be some political pain in the republican party for a while. >> some people might still be up from correspondents dinner last night. hope you're having a good breakfast. >> the second act. >> second act. >> there was a small jab taken at chuck last night at the dinner. let's queue it up for you did he continuer here. >> you have to notice california is bone dry. y'all think bradley cooper came here because he wants to talk to chuck todd? he needed a glass of water. >> luther. >> luther was on fire last night. he was on fire. once again, it is tough to

follow the president. >> his bucket list. you did speak with cecily strong. any hint of how she thought she did. >> look she was cool as a cucumber. it was fun to see her right after because you could see the relief on her face. not only she got there it but she felt good about getting through it and realizing toughest crowd you're ever going to face toughest act you're ever going to follow. follow president of the united states in front of a crowd of extremely judgmental and inebriated people. >> collectively the worst crowd. >> it is. you can't make it up. >> all right. >> you survived. good to see you, chuck. we'll be watching this morning. >> we do want to remind you can also watch chuck on "meet the press" every sunday on nbc 4 right after "news 4 today." well we've got a story now about metro patients pushing the limit, walking onto the tracks.

they are putting not only themselves at risk -- >> a series of people doing this recently at different stations. scott mcfarland reports. all of them facing the same deadly risk. >> like so many of us the the guy was on the phone waiting for his train at metro pentagon station. >> he fell off in front of us. >> as the train started to approach. >> lights flashing when he fell off. >> jennifer but cannon and her dad pulled him off. >> they said they too, were almost pulled down trying to save the man who had fallen. some people deliberate oy on the tracks. >> a dare, social media. >> including americans who pull them out at risk. check out surveillance camera

videos show nearly a dozen metro passengers intentionally trespassing on the tracks including this couple at the west falls church metro station. watch as she takes off her coat and scarf and they both jump on the tracks. she strikes yoga poses while he snaps pictures. she nearly sleps twice close to the high-voltage third rail. a metro employee intervenes and they would hop on the next train. that's not all the iteam found. in march a man lowered himself onto the tracks in lando. another did it to d.c. metro center. he struggled to get out until 30 seconds later when a man ran over to help. we showed the police chief these images. >> maybe easy to get in but not easy to get out. >> it's not.

you take the average male 6 foot to the edge you'd have to have not incredible but decent upper body strength. >> like this man climbing over two sets of tracks. transit police eventually pulled him to the platform and then arrested him. >> personal property. >> why they do it is a mystery. >> we know why this woman at reagan national ended up there, retrieved a package blown onto the tracks by the wind. she struggles to go down on the track and get out narrowly escaping the train. increasingly passengers lose cell phones. you should never chase after them but ask metro staff to help. metro police say they are actively searching for the
