Two Dallas Police Department officers and one Garland Police Department officer have been indicted on charges related to the police response to protests in Dallas following the death of George Floyd in 2020.
These indictments come after nearly two years of investigation by Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot and Dallas PD.
Both Mabry and Williams are accused of injuring protesters using less-lethal forms of ammunition. Their attorneys have previously said the officers were defending themselves from a crowd that had turned violent against police.Williams was fired from DPD for an excessive force complaint not related to the protests.
"It is not a defense, I simply just hope that someone can look at it through the lens that the officers in those chaotic situations did," he said. "Was every situation perfect, absolutely not. There is no police chief that dealt with protests that could tell you everything they did was perfect. However, I can tell you that the intent of officers was to protect this city, and I am not quite sure if there was criminal intent.
Creuzot had talked about the 40 millimeters used by officers as one of the main tools that caused injuries. There was also a show of force in Garland by officers and their chief to share their displeasure over aggravated assault charges against one of their officers who responded during the Dallas George Floyd rioting.
