Channel 2 has a big investigative report tonight.

Sweeps week?

Nothing burger?

We will know tonight!
I just watched the news - not much new was reported. Several of the HPD Commanders will be shuffled around in their jobs.
They are also saying that the DA won't take the case to the grand jury until mid-summer.
Innocents were executed. Jobs need to be lost not shuffled and some need to see prison time.
The time for courts and prison has passed. It's now time for biblical justice to come to Houston, starting at the top.

An infestation of frogs? Doesn't Houston already have those? Ditto Gnats. Houstonians would just shake those off. Lawyers are more annoying. :biggrinjester:

I agree.

The wife lunging for the fallen officer's weapon, always sounded made up from the first time I read it.
It seems more likely the wife was going to take care of her dog.

Is 1 gram very much?
For comparsion, a "regular" apirin tablet is 300 mgs. So five 300 mg aspirin would be 1.5 grams. Those reported "abouts" are frustratingly unprecise. An elephant and a flea are both "about" 1.5 grams.
Aspirin and other pills have fillers and binders so they are going to weigh more than just the amount of active ingredient(s).

A US penny weighs 2.500 grams. A nickel weighs 5.000 grams. This information is good to know if you ever need to check your reloading scale.
Correct. My single sample 300mg aspirin weighed 355mgs. :). I destroyed the sample shortly after weighing it.
