A group of Austin, Texas police officers were indicted Thursday for excessive use of force during George Floyd-related protests in 2020, officials said.“Our community is safer when our community trusts law enforcement,” said Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza. “There cannot be trust if there is no accountability when law enforcement breaks the law.” Garza would not give specifics on how many officers were indicted, pending a decision on how many will actually be charged, but the Austin Police Association said that at least nine have been indicted.
