Dallas police indicted for malicious wounding of George Floyd protestors

Quote:

A grand jury on Friday indicted two Dallas police officers and one from Garland on multiple felony aggravated assault charges for wounding protesters with “less-lethal” ammunition during protests in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. Former Sr. Cpl. Melvin Williams and suspended Sr. Cpl. Ryan Mabry were indicted on all the felony charges brought by Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot, court records show. Mabry faces six counts of aggravated assault by a public servant while Williams was indicted on four counts. Both Mabry and Williams were also indicted on two counts of deadly conduct. Each officer had also been charged with three counts of misdemeanor official oppression, which do not require a grand jury to weigh in. Garland Officer Joe Privitt was only indicted on the single felony of aggravated assault by a public servant.

The cops deliberately targeted protestors heads with shots from "less lethal" firearms, causing serious and permanent injury

Williams was fired in 2021 for violating the department’s use of force policy, after he was caught on camera punching a man in the head while breaking up a fight. Mabry has been on administrative leave since February, when the DA filed the charges. In February, the DA’s office detailed the charges. Mabry is accused of shooting protester Brandon Saenz in the face with “less-lethal” munitions as he protested on Elm Street. Saenz lost an eye and seven teeth in the attack; his face was also fractured. The arrest affidavits show Mabry was charged with shooting two other people: David McKee and another unknown individual. The deadly conduct charges were related to the assaults of Saenz and McKee. Williams is accused of firing “less-lethal” munitions at a few protesters: McKee, who was hit on May 30 in the 900 block of Elm Street; another unknown individual in the 400 block of S. Ervay on May 30; Vincent Doyle, who was shot at in the intersection of Pacific Avenue and Griffin Street on May 30; and Jesus Ramiro Lule, who was fired upon in Deep Ellum on July 18. Doyle told the Dallas Morning News that he lost 40 percent of his vision in his left eye after Williams shot him with the “less-lethal” munitions. The deadly conduct charges were related to McKee and an individual “whose name and identity is unknown to the grand jurors.”
