Who remembers that TOTALLY legit bust and murder by cop in Houston?

Totes legit

The upshot is that the basis for the raid was a lie from start to finish. That realization contradicts Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo's insistence that there were sound reasons, apart from Goines' prevarications, to think Tuttle and Nicholas were selling heroin.
Goines, who already faced state murder charges in connection with the raid that killed Tuttle and Nicholas, has been charged with violating their Fourth Amendment rights under color of law. The Justice Department says "Goines faces up to life in prison" if convicted of those charges, although the statute also allows the death penalty for violations with lethal consequences.
quote:
The Justice Department says Goines "made numerous materially false statements in the state search warrant" and afterward repeatedly lied about the circumstances of the raid. In addition to the civil rights charges, Goines is accused of falsifying records and obstructing an official proceeding.
The indictment also charges Steven Bryant, a Houston narcotics officer who helped back up Goines' story, with obstructing justice by falsifying records. Bryant, who supposedly identified the "brown powder substance" that the nonexistent informant never bought as black-tar heroin, already faced a state charge of tampering with a governmental record. The federal charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
The biggest revelation in the indictment is that the January 8 report about drug activity at the Harding Street house was completely false. Yet Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo has repeatedly cited that report as evidence that his department was right to investigate Tuttle and Nicholas.

Wow, I wonder if the mouth breathing idiots who kept harping on these "facts" will come into this thread.
Anyone got a link to the original thread(s)?

Acevedo should Resign or be fired but his crooked woke butt buddy mayor would never do it. Acevedo is a leftist piece of garbage.

So one incident is a reason not to "back the blue"?

that depends. the common "back the blue" rhetoric is usually based in blind loyalty and a silencing of all opposition
which leads to things like the union rep's statements i posted above
also this is one incident but clearly a highly organized group of officers who structured an illegal and dangerous search. also go read up on what also was discovered about these cops. it's not one cop or one incident, and now the question is how many dozens (or hundreds) of similar busts were complete fabrications

Eh, I put no blame on the union guy. His job is to stand up for the union members and he was going on pure emotion and had no access to the real facts of what happened.
Acevedo is the chief of police in the 4th largest city in the country and he has no excuses.

So by your account, this is law enforcement's first frick up that they have lied about?

Probably not the smartest approach from a PR perspective

There is a YouTube video showing this house and a house on "Hardy st" with the same number address. The Harding St address doesn't even fit the description of the house in the warrant, the Hardy house does. They likely hit the wrong house and tried to cover it up. I hope they rot in prison.

Seems like a threat to me.

these cops were found to have drugs in their units they couldn't account for
so either they were using drugs they didn't account for from previous busts or were planting drugs on innocent people
they invented CIs and had other snitches call in phone complaints to create the reasoning for busts
these guys are like Alonzo from Training Day but (1) real and (2) worse

even if this is true, their entire justification for going to the "wrong house" was completely fabricated
