An Austin police officer said indictments brought against him and 18 other officers over their conduct during George Floyd protests are "politically motivated" and "have nothing to do with justice."
A Texas grand jury indicted 19 Austin police officers Thursday on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon during the May 2020 protests. Also on Thursday, the city council approved a $10 million settlement for two protesters who suffered head injuries from beanbag rounds fired by police during the riots.
"This has nothing to do with justice, has nothing do with any wrongdoing," Justin Berry, one of the indicted officers and a Republican candidate for the Texas House of Representatives, told Fox News. "This is simply about politics and a political agenda that has taken place with these radical liberal district attorneys."
