A protester camped outside the governor's mansion with about a dozen other people describes what happened when police officers confronted the group.

I believe this will be the fourth confrontation that we've had since we got out here at 9 p.m. Last night. We arrived. We had a couple of tents on just to keep ourselves comfortable from the elements in North Carolina. You never know if it's gonna rain in the next 15 minutes or we're gonna be hit with one of those random flashes. And so we just wanted to make sure that we have provisions so that we were comfortable out here because we are out here because of Senate Bill 1 68 Are there certain things in the Senate bill that we agree with, like better access to health care, more insurance payouts for spouses and things like that? But unfortunately, Senate Bill 1 68 also includes language about making the medical records of those detained by North Carolina police and those in car parts incarcerated in North Carolina prisons inaccessible to the public. So whatever happens to people want detained by the police, whatever happens, people once they're in jail, medical records of these people are no longer public, so it makes it very, very difficult to fight for justice for anything that happens within the confines of those areas. So last night we arrived here around nine. We started hanging out, the cops came. State Capital PD came and told us that this area over here with state capital land and that we could not have tense on it. And they told us that we could since on the sidewalk. Shortly thereafter, the Rally Police Department came and told us that we could not have tents on the sidewalk. They handed us an ordinance. I believe it was city code, Section 10 22 or some nonsense. I've seen four different times because they keep bringing that same slip of paper. And, um, it's been it's been an exercise in suppression and in silencing in all honesty. So we were told that we couldn't have the tents because we're obstructing the sidewalk. But we could have chairs. And so we took the 10 sound and they came and said that we couldn't have tables, that the food was on the mayor here. Oh, I was hoping that Marianne would pop out. I mean, Mayor Baldwin with pop out, but you know, so then we move the table when we put the food on the ground, right? We're willing to compromise. And ah, a couple of people slept out here. They stayed overnight because they're so outraged about this villain. We really, really need it to be vetoed. We were awoken at around 4 35 by RPG walking up to us and wishing us good morning and letting us know that we could not sleep there. So they waited until everyone was all nice and getting close. Sorry. And we had a few people awake, just, you know, hanging out. And then they decided to let us know you got a packet of sleeping bags are illegal. There could apparently be no cushion between you and the sidewalk. And so we got rid of the sleeping bags. We were just sitting. An RPG came back 1/3 time. At this point, I believe it is to tell us that we could sit. Either It was that we had to remove the chairs, that we could not sit on the sidewalk and we let them know that we're simply praying and meditating for change. There literally 12 people out here at this point, it is a protest. But more than anything, we're praying or meditating for change. And now RPG and state capital here, threatening to arrest the citizens of Raleigh for sitting, praying and meditating on public property that their taxes pay for.

I'm meteorologist, Elizabeth Gardner. We're looking at a level one risk for severe storms for the rest of the day today. Closer to lunchtime, we may see a wave that comes through that could bring us a few showers or thunderstorms. Our severe weather threat at this point would be fairly low potential for some wind damage, possibly. Um, and of course, that's down from a level two and of course, our weather alert day for today has been canceled. There is still some ongoing severe weather across parts of the deep south of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama. You can see there in red. Those are tornado watches and, uh, some severe thunderstorm warnings there in yellow that continue to crop up, but all of that looks to stay to our south and west. It doesn't look like we'll see much of a risk for severe storms for the rest of the day, but it is likely to be breezy. We'll see winds out of the southwest gusting 25 to 30 MPH. And as we roll through future cast, you can see closer to lunchtime, a quick shower, maybe an isolated thunderstorm that should be out of here. By early afternoon, maybe a few breaks in the clouds, but we may not see a whole lot of sunshine still for the most part, if you're headed to the games game tonight, hopefully that's going to be a good one. only a tiny chance of a shower at that point game time, temperatures will be around 80 degrees and it does look like tailgating would be fine for the most part future cast. As we get through the day tomorrow, we'll see an increasing chance for showers and thunderstorms, especially mid to late afternoon. That's when the cold front comes through. That cold front's been producing a lot of severe weather. It looks like our chances for storms may be a little better tomorrow than today. And there is a lot, one risk in our southern counties for tomorrow. Mid eighties this afternoon. Definitely a toasty and sticky day. We're sitting steamy right now, but over the weekend, we're going to see that dropping off to much lower. So we get rid of the humidity. We'll see much more pleasant temperatures highs in the seventies, Saturday and Sunday. It looks like an absolutely gorgeous Mother's Day weekend. And again, our chance for rain tapering off through the rest of the day today, but a chance of scattered storms in the afternoon and evening for tomorrow.

Carolina Hurricanes players and Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour talk about Game 3 on Thursday night against the New York Rangers. 

So, um, it's just, it's just part of it. Um, I think our five on five games been been good and, um, obviously special teams, we need to share that up. And, um, just, yeah, obviously that, that needs to be a focal point moving forward. You got a fine line to walk, you know, wanting to be a physical game with all that but not to take the foolish penalties that give them opportunities. Yeah, I was just luck at last game. We had, uh, uh, most of our penalties are stick penalties. So, um, just need to start checking with your body instead of your stick and, um, I was guilty of one and there was a few other ones. So, uh, you just stay away from those ones and we'll be fine. Do you, do you embrace the pressure of having to come back here down? Two? Oh. And having a chance to maybe push it back the other way if you guys can get it done today. Yeah, I, I had a coach in junior hockey told me you're, you're not this until you lose at home. That's, that's been, he said that and we haven't lost at home. So, um, they, they did their job, they won their two at home. Now it's our turn to do ours and, um, starts with tonight and try and you, you win your games at home and then it goes to uh best of three, but we'll focus on tonight as a leader on the team. How important can your impact and what you and the other leaders do to try and turn the tide here. Um Yeah, I, I honestly, we need to come out and play, play our best games, especially here. This, this needs to be the best game of the series tonight. Obviously, we're, we're down too, so you need to push as hard as you can. And um I don't think any, any of us are gonna change the way we're playing. We just need to find maybe that little bit more and um we'll uh have everybody kind of follow suit but um, you look at Fishy Jordan me slavo every everybody in there. We, we're, we're up for it. So we're, we're looking forward to have you guys said anything to the team, have some kind of player meeting after the first two games. No, no, we haven't done that. I know you guys haven't practiced as a group since prior to game too, but have you talked about changes on the power play? What you can do to generate more shots and find more open works? That's a question for Roddy. I'm not in the power play meeting so well, I spoke after game two about, there's a lot, there's still a lot of belief in your room. Uh, despite how frustrated you guys were, can you speak to that? And, and does that come from the experience? And, and I don't know how, how frustrated we are. If we score in overtime, then we're sitting here 11 and it's, uh, when you guys are asking different questions, it went to double overtime and um, the, and then we're, we're trying to tie it late in game one. It's not like they've come in and completely outplayed us two games. It's, it's, they did their job at home, they scored in overtime to make it 20 and now it's our job to respond. All right. Thanks Marty. Marty. Mhm. Yeah, we like 40 places. It means here we go. Evan's gonna check the LA tonight. That was your range for, uh, earlier in the year. Oh, man, we're gonna bring this place to the ground, burn it down and it's not working now. At least we don't have the batteries anymore. That was for the escape by Martin. I say, you know, a little bit, you're now out to you. Oh, that's good. He had a little bit of Charlie is covering tonight or in the, there's gotta be some kind of like nerve damage or something or like fracture. I don't think, I don't know. You never know, I mean, it depends on what the injury is. I mean, the first thing I thought about what he said, that's what, 78 years, right. I, yeah, why do you decide not to have a skater or practice? Just your call? No, it, you know, tough game the other night. A little more rest. I mean, the morning sheets. I don't know really what you get out of them for me. So, we had our meetings. That's, you know, where, where we can get a little better. This team is so experienced and been through so many different things in the past. Do you even need to say anything? Do any of the players need to step up and kind of say anything before this game or is it just kind of business as usual? Well, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I think we all understand where we're at in this situation and I don't, I don't think we need to dwell on that. I don't think it's, you know, how can we find that little extra, you know, play here or there? That makes a difference and, you know, uh that, that's really what it's about character as a coaching staff in those meetings. Have you discussed any strategies of how to get the power play going and generate more chances to score? Yeah, I mean, obviously we, we, that's uh an area we wanna get better at. They did a nice job up there and you know, there's, there's areas that we can be better for sure. And, um, you know, we're gonna have to be, obviously we go back to Freddie tonight. Um, yeah. No. Yeah. No, we're gonna go cooch tonight. Um, uh, you made a change in overtime with moving Tony onto the second unit. I was, I didn't know if that was maybe, uh, trying to get more out of the power play or was it more? Maybe not loading up, Shay so much with minutes. Both. Yeah, both. Yeah, I mean, Brady is playing a Ton and Tony, we know we can do it. It's just, you know, we had to get power play all year and Brady was running on that unit, but we know Tony is capable of it. So it's a little bit of both there. You said the change with, with the goalie? Um, well, I think, you know, Freddie's played really well, but he's also played a lot and I think, uh, give him a little rest is the best thing you've said that you're not worried, you never have been worried about couch's ability to step right back in despite knocking the play off. And what has he been doing? Especially the majority of his time. Is it kind of split between watching film and practicing? Is he doing something different? No, just getting ready. Practice. You ready? I mean, he doesn't, I don't know how much film work he does. I mean, it's the goal is just getting himself ready. He does work with Polly, but I mean, at the end of the day it's, I think, uh, you know, he's fresh and hopefully that was a great game. You anticipated, you said yesterday, you anticipated, who is he getting back in? Is that what you're gonna do today? He's fine. Right. Do you see this as a matchup series? Like as far as sometimes there, there are, sometimes there's, they're not for you. Is this a matchup series? And do you have more of an advantage because of that people? Um, yeah, I mean, you have certain game plan going in, you know, certain, you know, maybe guys you wanna play against but it really, um that's, it's, um, yes and no. Uh uh I mean, obviously there's more about um, the d matching up really more than even the floors. But yeah, I mean, we'd love to get our top guys against their top guys. Your estimation is to check out, do anything differently as a goalie playing behind your group. Well, he's got a different demeanor. I mean, that's obvious and he said he's really comical and creature is a little more passionate and, you know, wes his emotions are on his sleeve. But yeah, I know they both pretty good goalies. Coach, a player like this, a tr check for the Rangers who scored in every playoff game so far. I just want to stop them to stop his momentum from getting going. Well, I mean, there's no different game plan for him than anyone else. You gotta do your best when you're out there. And, um, you know, we know him very well. Good player. Uh, so we just can't give him a lot of room obviously. All right, thanks. Yep. Here you are. No, I was wearing these pills. I have been to Starbucks and then we're still 10 minutes by any one. I know you a Star Me? Have a good one. All right. Yeah.
