A total of 12 officers have now been indicted in connection with a 2019 botched raid that left two people dead in Houston.

Six officers were indicted last year, including Gerald Goines, who is accused of lying to obtain a warrant, and Steven Bryant, who is accused of tampering with government records. Six other officers were indicted Monday, according to a statement from Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg. Those officers face a variety of charges including murder, tampering with government records and engaging in organized criminal activity.

Last year, prosecutors said Bryant misrepresented facts surrounding the scene and the purchase of the drugs. Bryant gave a supplement to the original report that contained falsehoods, the prosecutor said.The investigation also found that officers were"involved in a long-term scheme to steal overtime from the city," Ogg's statement read.

If they were black yes they should be indicted but since the 2 are white give the 12 cops a free pass

Oh... is the 'I'm a cop and get to kill just about anyone with impunity' era is coming to a close?
