up, tony. in factor everybody is filing out. i want to give you a look at the scoreboard, final score there the democrats did beat republicans 11 to two. so not exactly a close game. but the democrats handed over the big trophy to the republicans saying that they'd like it to sit in congressman sca lease's office until he recovers and then they want it back. it was a lot of fun, a very nice out here. there was a lot of support and county. they were handing out the baseball ones. the most popular one i am told was put out by steve sc a alie. brody logan talked with an intern for the lieu sans a congressional delegation who said they really do appreciate all the support they've been getting from people across the country. take a look at that. we've been hurt so closely by this.

with the whip and when we saw the on the tv it was so awful and so to see the country come together like this it's just incredible. just before the game law makers knelt in a circle no doubt reflecting on the alexandria shooting, many of them wear hats in honor of. a huge of applause when david bailey came out to throw out the first pitch. it was a ball signed by the victim matt micah as well. the crowd more than double than last year's attendance with more than 23,000 people on hand. security was extremely tight. there was a very large, visible capital police presents. many of them out with k9 units. ahead of the game we spoke with pennsylvania conscious man mike doyle and he said all the law

playing for steve scaw lease. it should never lead to violence. we usually get 3w nine about 9,000 people here. we usually race about four or $5,000. we're getting near the million dollars mark. those are all the positive things to this we're all thinking about steve. i'm a democrat and steve and i don't agree with much politically but he's a good gian we're personal friends and we've played this game together a long time and we like to kid one another when we win or lose and who played a good game and who didn't. i think everybody on both sides will be thinking about steve tonight. let us hope that we continue to remember that our rhetoric is heard not just by our opponents on the floor, but it's heard by literally millions of people, some of whom do not have the judgment or control

insightful, hateful language languish. >> president trump was not here this evening, but he did have a video message where he said, he talked about the decision to go on with this game tonight just a day after the shooting and said how we will not be intimidated by acts of violence. we'll mention that his daughter ivanka trump was here as well as kelly and conway, plenty of other top official chg. the best news to come out of all of this is of course this game races money for charity with all the people in attendance. the money it raised is double last year as well, $1.3 million and a. q. portion of that is now going to the fallen officers' fund. lauren demarco, fox5 local news. >> law enforcement is banding together to imad heroin opioid abuse in our eamplet the most recent take down happened i

we are less than a month away present the fourth of july, although for most it's a time of celebration it also means stepped up patrols, on-call officers and specialized teams like k9 units. it's a security challenge law enforcement in zc including the metropolitan police officer. we're speaking with a veteran who is exposing safety issues he feels should have been addressed years ago. our marina maracco is live in northwest with this story that t you'll only see on fox5. >>reporter: tone initial sarah, this officer

on the line for the well-being of the safety of his k9, his mpdk9 reno and we just obtained a copy of an unfair practice complaint that was filed by the d.c. union against the metropolitan police definitely it's 67 pages long and it say, quote, the kept disis regarded findings and recommendations of the washington humane society as well as violated the labor agreement by unlaurelly changin& the working conditions of the k9 handlers and endangering the sits sebs of the district of columbia. right over my head. it's 87 pounds, brown and tan fur. reno is not just a german shepherd, he's part of family laying low and calms as everyone takes the spotlight the at home he rides in the

reno's spotlight is at work. he's a ten year veteran of the metropolitan police department as a patrol k9. he and his handler, detective paul huss letter ride into work together from their montgomery county home each and every day back in their personal car. there's always the potential for something to happen because the car has no safety fee whatsoever in it. the 30-mile trek into washington there'sly a stop or two to make. the at the gas station wet mercury peaks, the ignition turns off and the windowses crack just enough so the dog gets air, but the public is not in danger. it's unfortunate to say but they're going to get bitten by the dog and that's one of our main concerns is the safety of the public and these dogs and the officers who transport them back and and forth to work every day it's a reality that the department seems

than a decade huss letter says he drove his police cruiser to and from work, until 2010 when chief lanier decided to take the cars from us. >> why? >> no reason was ever given why our cars were taken from us. >> do you remember a tell type saying why? >> no, it was all verbal. a phone call was made and i came in one day and said you can't take car home. >> since 2010 huss letter has been fighting to drive his k9 cruiser home. >> we would make sure that the dog was safe. >> the doors flat. there is nothing on it. the dog can't open the door or put the window down by accident and everything is secured. it's all a crush resistant kennel all the way around. right, buddy? >> a hot dog system inside, which is temperature controlled by thi

the temperature in the car. lights will flash, the horn will blow, the windows will all thely go down and this fan will automatically turn objection to the form all of the windows have limousine tint to keep the uv rays out and keep the kennel cool. is this a one officer story? >> well? it sounds like it. in january the kept singled owlt five of the 26 total k9 officers prohibiting them from transporting them to and from work because of mileage restrictions measuring the distance from their residence to the us capital. 3.0104 says otherwise and so does this department memo from january of this year which documents all five officers live outside the 25-mile radius allow by mpd. we checked in virginia, arlington county police told

officers are exempt from their 40-mile restriction for two main reasons, one to safely transport to and from work, vet appointments and training and two so k9 can be rapidly dereplied and called back into service in the event of an emergency or critical incident. in maryland, prince george's county tells fox5 the department allows k9 officerses take their crewses home and ahows exceptions to the mileage. here in d.c. they have k9 handlers that live as far as large audience plate oh, maryland. they have no restrictions on their handlers to use the k9 outfitted vehicles for the safety, protection and comfort of both k9 and hand lemplet if i were to get into an accident on the way to work and become unconscious or unable to move, reno is trained to go under

we call hammer protection mode. so much so that a large part of their commute is not only a dangerous affair, but turns into a liability issue. probably te closest car i had with him was he almost bit the little girl who was handing me my coffee through the drive through wind on. i was very upset about it. i reported it and it seems to have fallen on dead ears because nothing was done about it. at the behest of the police department, they inspected detective huss letter's vehicle the use of a personally owned vehicle to transport a working dog police canine in professional opinion is a liability for the disdistrict dislike. i recommend avoiding the practice of kenneling the dogs and let the dogs be transported t

homes in properly equipped k9 vehicles. reno and huss letter continue to ride in their pry us. at home the department has already been out once this year to inspect reno's kennel. it's supposed to have a lock, a and i keep a bed in there for reno. there will be a second mandatory inspection to make sure the kennel meets all sanitary. >> my dog has defecated in my car. my dog has urinated in my car. my dog has vomited in my car and not to pension all the pet dander and hair that we accumulate in our povs. we're not compensated for cleaning our cars. we're not compensated for maintaining our cars. that all falls on us. for huss letter his worry is not what will happen, but when. he remembers

shooting. >> i responded from home. >> to the navy yard. >> no, i went to the second district first and picked up my police car because traffic was very hef yirks everybody was trying to get out of the city and basically it i would have been unable to get down in there with my toyota pry us. >> no sirens, no lights. >> no nothing. four ways, but what's that going to do for you? >> a duty huss letter has& performed at the police department. >> that's my boy. that's my son. >> what the department is telling us as k9 handlers and police officers is you don't care about us. you don't care about us, you don't care about our dogs and you certainly don't care about the public and to me that's a huge issue because these dogs should be able to be transported safely to and from

department respond td to fox5 in a statement by saying quote, mpdk9 officers can apply for a take home vehicle. these requests are evaluate odd a case by case. if a k9 officer is not authorized a take home vehicle they have the option to use the on site kennel to house their k9 overnight or take their k9 home and choose to take them home are provided with the appropriate equipment. we provide this to our officers to make sure our k9s are safe and treated appropriately. we'll be back after the break.

charges. i'm very thankful for the justice of the united states and i apresht for support of the american people. this is a signal to turkish government that their bee haifer will not be tolerated on american soil. their motive, what are they were doing is really not pomplet i think what's important is the fact that you had pieceful demonstrators that were physically assaulted in the district of columbia and the message to folks who are going to come to our city either from another state or from another country is that's not going to be tolerated in washington, d.c c police do believe there are others involved in that attack who have not yet been identified. they do plan on releasing new video of that day and hopes the public will be able to recognize them. in northwest, anjali hemphill,
