1. DPD officer Robert Powell has been reassigned to dispatch, and he’ll probably be lucky to stay there. Why? On March 17, he pulled over Ryan Moats outside Baylor Regional Medical Center. Moats, a Bishop Lynch grad and running back for the Houston Texans, was hurrying to see his dying mother-in-law. Though hospital staff and security backed up Moats’ story, Powell spent 13 minutes writing a ticket — and saying things like “I can screw you over,” all of which was caught on his dashboard camera — during which time Jonetta Collinsworth passed away. This will not end well for Powell.
2. My favorite part of this look at the District 2 council race, in which challenger Billy MacLeod credits his alcohol-fueled criminal past for inspiring him to get into politics, is this section:
[Pauline] Medrano said she is running on her own record and doesn’t plan to make MacLeod’s criminal record a campaign issue.
But her record, Medrano noted, is one of fighting crime, not committing it.
In other words: “I don’t really want to talk about it, but since you asked…”
3. And finally, in case you missed it, the Cowboys will join the bandwagon and install the Wildcat offense, Coach Jerry Jones says.
