Did he need another raid?
Was he "doing a favor" for someone else?
He had to have a reason for the deception. It took considerable effort.
The comments are interesting. If the victims had been black, this would be on the news 24/7.
When a crime is committed (lying on a warrant or robbing a store) and your buddy or the occupant of the home or business gets killed in the process as a result of your crime, you can be held culpable.
Officer Gerald Goines should do well in prison. /s
Murder by cop and yet no one will face any charges. The criminal politicians and criminal judges and criminal police captain and police leaders will protect the cops to the end.
I have no faith in government anymore. It is mostly populated with unethical people.

>>The gun battle started when police broke
Who fired the 357? It was not recovered at the scene. Was the gun battle simply friendly fire from caffinated plainclothes cops?

Precisely what I said when this first went down. I hope that if one of the cops planted drugs to cover for the botched raid, that they spend quality time at the State's expense.
The point is these people are empowered by a phony “Drug War” to violate the liberties, property and lives of citizens without Due Process.
If you want this to stop, you want the Drug War to stop.
Has he been promoted to Chief of Detectives yet?
I spent four months in Houston in ‘09, from March through June. Hated it.
Topping it all off, the last week I was there, I had a late dinner from a BBQ joint, just before they closed. Turned out the beef ribs were bad.
I barfed for four days. The motel trash can was filled half way with barf.
Hmm, is your trash can half empty, or half full?
Paid Police-hit.
I don’t know much about this case...or cases like it..but I do know that “confidential informants” are known to lie to cops for various reasons.
POWER is his.
YOU WILL RESPECT HIS AUTHORITAH !!
Someone SWAT’d them.
All you need to do is make a call to the local police office reporting possible drug or child trafficking.
You don’t like someone...SWAT them
It really sounds like the tiny amount of drugs on-scene was planted in order to avoid the embarrassing actual narcotics haul, i.e., ZERO drugs found.
Houston murdered this apparently happily married couple.
After 30 years of policing, HOW MANY other people have they done this to..?
Dozens..? Almost certainly.
HUNDREDS..?
Conspiracy and murder under the color of law.
Their neighbors immediately came forward and vouched for the innocence of this couple, making the case suspect from the beginning. Chief Acevado hailed the cops assault before all the damning evidence came to light, then recanted. Question: Why did none of the cops on this raid turn in Officer Goines before it took place?
(Related to another question: If there are so many law-abiding, dedicated FBI agents, why did none of them resign in protest when they learned of the Bureau spying on the Trump campaign?)
“Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.”
This cop was involved in another questionable no-knock raid killing. The cops burst onto a house, and shot a man in front of his parents.
The mom said the kid had just gotten up to get a drink of water when the cops kicked on the door and blew him away on sight.
The cops used the “reaching for his waistband” scam.
Why would the author ask drug dealers what they called the no-knock raid?
It was NOT just this rogue thug with a badge, EVERY Cop there was in on it from the beginning and they ALL Deserve the Death Penalty.
I recall many here being quite satisfied with the raid and its outcome as it was originally reported to have occurred.
I wonder how that intersects with fans of Waco PD’s 2015 actions...
