Even allies of Austin, Texas, District Attorney Jose Garza say they're frustrated by the lack of details in the indictments of 19 police officers over tactics used during racial injustice protests. Garza's office says it's unable to release details.
the indictments Thursday of 19 officers on felony charges“Nineteen is, whew, I don’t know any place else that’s done that,” said Margaret Moore, Garza’s predecessor as the district attorney of Travis County.
But even allies on Friday were frustrated by the lack of details, which Garza has said he is unable to release yet. Garza announced during a news conference Thursday that grand jury indictments were expected, but he gave no specifics. And more than 24 hours later, the officers’ names and the reasons they were charged hadn’t been publicly released.
“This case is beyond preposterous,” Berry said. “He demonizes police, he puts no value on keeping people safe, and he harms our communities.” Aggravated assault charges, when committed by a public servant, could carry a sentence of up to life in prison.
