Protesters chase after indicted Texas deputy and husband

Dozens of protesters chased after a Houston-area sheriff's deputy and her husband following their court appearance Tuesday on murder charges in the death of a man they confronted outside a restaurant.

At one point, the protesters surrounded the car the couple entered outside the courthouse and temporarily blocked it from driving off.

Attorneys for Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Chauna Thompson and her husband, Terry Thompson, said Tuesday prosecutors rushed to present the case to a grand jury and did so because of the couple's ties to law enforcement.

The couple is accused of causing the death of John Hernandez, 24, who died three days after the May 28 confrontation outside a Denny's restaurant in Sheldon, located 17 miles (27 kilometers) northeast of Houston.

The couple made their first court appearance in the case Tuesday since each was indicted for murder last week. The Thompsons said little during the hearing and didn't enter pleas. Chauna Thompson has been suspended from her job without pay.

About 60 protesters were outside the courthouse during the hearing, some holding signs saying, "Justice for John."

When the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx5hfLp3Vqc Thompsons left the courthouse and walked to a waiting car, protesters followed, with many chanting "murderers" in Spanish. Some protesters slammed their fists on the hood or kicked the sides of the vehicle.



Deputies had to move the protesters so the car could dri ve away.

Ramon Hernandez, John Hernandez's 73-year-old grandfather and who was one of the protesters on Tuesday, said he's upset how the case has been handled, believing the Thompsons have received special treatment.

"Nobody does anything. They are protecting them. That's why I feel bad," he said in Spanish.

But attorneys for the Thompsons contend the deputy and her husband have been treated unfairly in the case.

"My client probably would not be indicted but for her job title," attorney Greg Cagle, who represents Chauna Thompson, 45, said following the hearing.

Attorney Scot Courtney, who is representing Terry Thompson, 41, said he's "never seen a case taken to a grand jury this quickly."

The Harris County District Attorney's Office denied the claims, saying prosecutors are dedicated to an orderly process in the case.

Authorities allege Terry Thompson confronted an intoxicated Hernandez after seeing him urinate in public and placed hi m in a chokehold. Chauna Thompson, who was off duty at the time, arrived later to help her husband subdue and restrain Hernandez. Cagle contends that Chauna Thompson barely touched Hernandez.

Hernandez was hospitalized and died on May 31. A medical examiner ruled that he died of lack of oxygen to the brain caused by strangulation and chest compression.

The Thompsons, who are each free on $100,000 bonds, will next be in court on July 14.

Hernandez's family late Monday filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Thompsons, asking for at least $1 million in damages.

Cagle said he had not yet seen the lawsuit and declined to comment.

Randall Kallinen, an attorney for the Hernandez family, alleges the actions of deputies who investigated the case, including not interviewing all potential witnesses at the scene, are examples of preferential treatment Chauna Thompson and her husband received. The Harris County Sheriff's Office is conducting an internal aff airs review of the actions of deputies who responded to the scene.

The Thompsons "should have been arrested at the scene. I don't know what the quick rush to judgment is," Kallinen said.

Sandra Guerra Thompson, a professor at the University of Houston Law Center who is not related to Chauna and Terry Thompson, said she wasn't surprised that the case went before a grand jury a little over a week after Hernandez's death because it was "not a super complicated case." She said if https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx5hfLp3Vqc it had been an officer-involved shooting, such a case would have probably taken longer to present to a grand jury because it would require more investigation and review of evidence.

It's great that Orange Glo has developed a convenient, all-in-one kit that addresses these needs. You get professional looking results -- at a fraction of the cost."

The Orange Glo Laminate, Vinyl, Tile & More Floor Care System provides the following:

When brainstorming, keep the following in mind:

Use your industry: Have a name that indicates what type of company you are, even if you don't say it directly.

Use your specialty: If you specialize in something specific such as landscape design, make this http://roadsidethoughts.com/pa/ringing-rock-gardens-xx-montgomery-cemeteries.htm clear since it can he lp you attract a different set of customers.

Use rhymes: Rhymes just have this way of sticking in someone's head, and the stickier your name, the better!

Use your own name: You own this company, right? Be proud! There is nothing wrong with that. Bonus points if there is a clever way to squeeze it in.

Use your location: Your town or street name could be a good source of identity and inspiration. Be sure it doesn't limit you, however. Who knows where you'll grow!

20th century 70's and 80's warehouse to protect the development

Big drop type fire control sprinkler heads for special applications

The first warehouse specifically developed for the protection of sprinkler head is a large drop sprinkler head, the sprinkler head was developed in the 20th century 70's, K coefficient is 161, its splash plate is designed to produce more large drops enhance the penetration and improve fire fighting performance. System design sprinkler head 15 can only meet the design requirements and safety coefficient is greatly enhanced. As developed this sprinkler head, the experts found that the warehouse for high risk, the measure of performance is the sprinkler sprinkler head nozzle size and caliber of work pressure and role, rather than water density area. Large drop sprinkler head is a significant advantage of the sprinkler head can be protected without the need for shelf storage shelves within the sprinkler head, sprinkler nozzle for the ordinary t his is not possible.

? ESFR sprinkler head 80s in the 20th century, with the FM model developed ESFR sprinkler heads, storage protection has reached a new level. In order to protect high-risk items used to store high-shelf storage, but do not use the shelves within the sprinkler head, while on the shelf to avoid mechanical damage within the sprinkler head, in particular, developed SM technology.

Then, by the Central Company (now Tyco fire equipment company) led sprinkler head needs of the user industry began its research and development.

Large caliber (ELO) fire control water jet strength / function area of sprinkler heads

ELO sprinkler head start is the central D64-type sprinkler heads. It was designed to use only one K161 sprinkler head, which can be generated under high water pressure in the lower water density, more cost-effective. In order to validate its performance, in the 20th century, the early 90s was an entity fires p ilot projects. The basic process of this project is the original pilot project to repeat the warehouse, the only change is replaced by ELO sprinkler head, and at a lower injection pressure have the same density. In these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKWCB_3nMJg experiments, ELO sprinkler head and the old sprinkler head not only play the same performance, but in addition to one of the tests are clearly better than the performance. In the design of the new warehouse protection, or no real reason to use K115 smaller sprinkler head, NFPA13 required density 14mm/min (0.34gpm/ft2) or higher, or greater use of K11.2 sprinkler head, illustrates this point.



Large-caliber special application type fire control sprinkler heads



Central has developed UltraK17 sprinkler head in order to lower the required pressure to achieve significant and large drop sprinkler head performance. FM carried out by entities in the fire test, the sprinkler head to protect the carton piled up on the shelves of plastic materials within the warehouse shelf without the need for sprinkler heads.

Large diameter hanging-type sprinkler head

As demands for higher pressure, the original K202ESFR sprinkler head is often difficult to bring the design, so central in the development of the K363 FM sprinkler head.
