Here's a heartbreaker. Some dots from Houston to Minneapolis that, once connected, form a bold stroke of red ink underlining this thread's title.

Five HPD officers sustained injuries.

St. John Barned-Smith and Keri Blakinger of the Houston Chronicle described the event as "one of the worst [scandals] to hit HPD in years".
The officers expected to find illegal drugs at the house, but the informant stated to have been the source of the complaint could not be found, and no drugs were present. Later information showed that one of the officers had lied so he could get a warrant for the no-knock raid. 54-year old Gerald Goines, named in court documents related to the case,was accused of making false statements on the affidavit.
The investigation into Goines is ongoing, and it turns out he may have been involved in a George Floyd arrest as well.

Identical situation that got Breonna Taylor killed, except that in Houston the cops lied on the search warrant, and in the Breonna case they might have merely exagerated/ been mistaken. I don't know how any department allows for no knock raids when these are the readily forseeable outcomes.

I’m still missing the part where he’s an FBI agent. They check his ID, he’s not the right guy, they uncuff him, and he dresses them down.

Not sure, but Philly Elmo wants everyone to know that the Elmo at the protests was NOT him.

He never said anything that was clear that he was FBI from what I heard. It was assumed he was from the post copy. I’d like to know for certain before I share. Because it’s a good one if he is!
