Multiple arrest warrants have been issued by the Dallas County DA's office for two officers involved in 2020's George Floyd protests in downtown Dallas.
– Nearly two years after the peaceful protests turned violent in downtown Dallas, two police officers are facing charges accusing them of using excessive force.
“Obviously we are encouraged these officers have been charged with a crime,” said attorney Daryl Washington, who represents Brandon Saenz and Vincent Doyle. Both men suffered partial and permanent vision loss after being struck in the eye. Toby Shook, Officer Mabry’s attorney, said, “Ryan Mabry is a good officer he served honorably for over 12 years. He’s a member of SWAT and he’s put his life on the line many times.”
According to the affidavit, the 40mm launchers used to fire the projectiles that struck the protesters are considered deadly weapons under the Texas Penal Code.The injured protestors have already filed civil suits against the officers and the city.Mabry was charged with three counts each of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and official oppression.
