Texas Standard for April 8, 2016
Texas tops the national news, with a shooting at a military base in San Antonio. The Standard tracks the shooting incident at Lackland Air Force Base. Also: a cellphone video of a 12-year-old slammed to the ground by school police stirs debate over the line between maintain order and abuse of power. Plus: Many happy returns? As taxpaying Texans prepare to gloat on the 15th, we ask whether we might be more in line with the other 49 than we think. All that and more on today’s show.
