A Houston policeman lied for a warrant for arrest, a married couple was killed and four policemen injured

Houston, Texas – (Ammoland.com) – The chief investigator and undercover narcotics agent of the Houston Police Department, Gerald Goines, has lied to get a warrant for arrest. The arrest warrant resulted in the death of an average couple, their dog and four wounded officers, at 7815 Harding Street on January 28, 2019. From abc13 .com:

The search warrant makes it clear that the initial information used to obtain the secure search warrant implied a number of lies.

In the original warrant obtained January 28, the chief agent, the agent Gerald Goines, wrote that a confidential informant had bought heroin at home the day before the raid on the drug addicts. The informant would also have seen heroin and a weapon, which appeared to be a 9 mm handgun, while he was buying the alleged drugs at home.

As part of this mandate, the informant reportedly returned to Goines with a brown powder substance telling him that he was calling "boy", which is a slang against heroin. . The confidential informant also said that the stuff he would have bought at home had been packed in a large amount of plastic bags.

The Houston no-knock raid has been labeled an ambush by drug traffickers. The evidence did not support this conclusion.

The two owners killed did not have a criminal record. Dennis Tuttle was a veteran of the Navy. His wife, Rhogena Nicholas, was a supporter of President Trump. They had been married for 20 years and lived in their modest home in Houston for 20 years.

The shooting started when the police broke their door and shot their dog. Dennis fought back, injuring the officer who shot his dog.

Police say Rhogena tried to take a shotgun from the injured policeman.

They shot and killed him. Dennis continued to fight, wounding three other officers. We do not know which firearm he used.

The exact timing of the events is uncertain because no officer was wearing a body camera. The surveillance video of the neighboring house was confiscated by the police.

Police chief Acevedo has already spoken of the officers "setting the fire under cover". We do not know how many indiscriminate shots were fired or exactly when Dennis Tuttle and his wife Rhogena were shot. From abc13.com:

"After we had two officers and another shot, the remaining officers … started lighting a cover fire, left blanket positions and, I think, they heroically pulled their comrades out of danger," said Acevedo .

Originally, the police claimed that Dennis had used a .357 Magnum revolver. No revolver was found in the inventory of items seized from the house after the raid. No heroin was found. No "large amount" of drugs in plastic bags was found.

In addition to the director of narcotics Goines, another manager was suspended. His name has not been broadcast.

Good judicial badysis could shed light on many of the unanswered questions in this case. What was the sequence of events? Who shot what, when and where. Who was shot by whom, when?

The only thing we know for sure, is that lies were made to get a warrant for arrest. A shootout ensued. Two innocent owners died and four policemen were injured.

A small amount of drugs would have been found at home, as well as four firearms, as in more than half of Texas households.

While the drugs were lying about drugs (and small amounts were found in the policeman's vehicle lying), can we believe that the drugs found at home, in two small bags, did not been planted by a policeman to cover the failed raid?

Many police officers, as well as other citizens, are unhappy with corruption and unnecessary loss of life. Actions like this corrode the fabric of a free society.
