    You can tell he was just a bad apple by the way the police union didn't rally to his defense.

    It looks like this "hero" officer deserved to get shot all three times he got it. One was a road rage incident, then this, where he got shot doing an illegal home invasion. Maybe he'll finally do the right thing and up the number.

    Just remember, there are only a few bad cops, and they get weeded out very quickly -- no way would one be able to serve 30+ years.

    I think this part of the article describes the source of the problem with ALL police :

    "Law enforcement experts say that’s indicative of a unit without sufficient oversight, where repeated complaints and lawsuits don’t lead to any apparent internal review."


    No accountability.

    Houston police officer in drug raid had previous allegations against him
    Keri Blakinger, St. John Barned-Smith | on February 15, 2019


    Even before the deadly drug raid that left two civilians dead, Houston Police Officer Gerald Goines had a troubling history of allegations against him.

    The undercover case agent in the Jan. 28 Pecan Park raid had been involved in multiple shootings, racked up a smattering of written reprimands, faced several lawsuits and is currently accused of fabricating a drug deal then lying about it in court to win a conviction against a man who has long maintained he’s innocent, according to a Houston Chronicle review of internal police records and court documents.

    Through it all, the longtime narcotics officer consistently racked up glowing reviews and praise from supervisors who called his work “impressive” and wrote that he set a “good example for new officers in the squad,” according to police records. Last month, as Goines lay in the hospital after the gun battle, Chief Art Acevedo praised his courage, describing the 54-year-old sergeant as “strong as an ox” and “tough as nails.”

    But on Friday, Acevedo offered a very different narrative. Now, he said, the veteran officer — who’s still in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound to the neck — could face criminal charges after investigators realized they couldn’t find the informant reportedly behind the undercover buy used to justify the no-knock warrant.

    Law enforcement experts say that’s indicative of a unit without sufficient oversight, where repeated complaints and lawsuits don’t lead to any apparent internal review.

    No link, but read somewhere else it's been reported that the victims of the home invasion were allowed to bleed out for 2 hours, and that Mr. Tuttle was shot by a SWAT officer through an open window, while he laying on his floor, wounded.

    "Double-tapped." There should be murder charges against that SWAT officer, but of course that won't happen. There might be some minimal punishment for the fall guy -- but none for all of the accessories to murder.

    I wouldn't be surprised. They did the same thing to Jose Guerena: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post3268628

    It's probably unofficial SOP (or hell, it might even be official SOP). All for "officer safety", of course ...

    Houston AGWs Murder Couple on the Basis of “Untruths or Lies”

    https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2019...ruths-or-lies/

    By eric - February 19, 2019

    That word – in the headline – is harsh. But it’s editorially honest.

    A middle-aged couple, Dennis Tuttle (59) and Rhogena Nicholas (58) were Hut! Hut! Hutted! to death in their Houston, TX home by a pack of armed government thugs who invaded their home on the basis of a criminal warrant . . . the criminal part being the lies confected by “lead investigator” Gerald Goines.

    News story here.

    It turns out (post mortem) that Goines deliberately lied about material facts in order to obtain the warrant that led to the fatal Hut! Hut! Hutting!

    This has been admitted to by Oberstgruppenfuhrer (i.e., five star “general”) Art Acevedo.

    Goines made up a story about drug transactions allegedly taking place at the home – which even if true could not possibly justify the murderous Hut! Hut! Hutting! which ensued, except in the murderously amoral place the United States has become.

    One of the reasons America has become a far-from-free place is because of the despicable idea that people can be violently assaulted by armed government thugs for peacefully – in their own homes, even – partaking of or buying/selling substances arbitrarily decreed to be illegal.

    We’re either free adults – or we are essentially cattle on two legs, the property of farmers who own us as livestock.

    At any rate, this Goines person decided he wanted to have a Hut! Hut! Hut! party at the Tuttle house – and scribbled the necessary lies. Tacticooled, body-armored “heroes” descended on the home – and the startled couple did what many of us would do in their place.

    They fought back.

    This resulted in a hailstorm of lead and two dead victims – Tuttle and Nicholas – plus five merely wounded murderous AGWs, including Goines.

    Goines is being criminally prosecuted for the “untruths or lies” he peddled to obtain the warrant, in the words of Oberstgruppenfuhrer Acevedo.

    But – and this is important – he is not facing murder charges. As any mere “citizen” would, if they stormed an innocent person’s home and shot two people to death. The fact that the two people shot back would be considered legitimate self-defense and would in no way mitigate the criminality of the “citizen’s” actions.

    But when AGWs Hut! Hut! Hut!... well, a different (double) standard applies. Both with regard to the actions – and their consequences.

    Oberstgruppenfuhrer Acevedo said: “When we prepare a document to go into somebody’s home it has to be truthful, it has to be honest, it has to be absolutely factual. So, we know already there’s a crime that’s been committed.”

    Not a word from the Oberstgruppenfuhrer about the double homicide perpetrated by Goines and his crew of Hut! Hut! Hutters!

    He did previously praise his murderous subordinate – who has reportedly been an AGW for 30 years – as “tough as nails.”

    It brings to mind what Stalin reportedly said about Lavrenty Beria to one of Roosevelt’s aids at Yalta: “He is our Himmler,” Uncle Joe genially explained.

    We have lots of such “Uncles” now.

    One wonders how many other times Goines peddled “untruths or lies” over the course of all those decades enforcing laws, actual as well as made-up. Is it probable that this particular case of “untruths or lies” is the only one?

    Or the only one discovered?

    It is worth discussing in this regard the fact that the sworn say-so of an AGW is considered evidence while anything a mere “civilian” says is dismissed out of hand as hearsay.

    You can be convicted on the mere say-so of an AGW. But anything you say is “irrelevant.”

    Goines provided “evidence” – his say-so – that resulted in a lethal Hut! Hut! Hutting! But how many other victims of Goines’ “untruths or lies” remain uncatalogued?

    Remain convicted?

    If, as in this case, it has been established that an AGW manufactured “evidence” in one case, is it not reasonable to presume he manufactured “evidence” in others? Or at the least, to concede that such a person’s “evidence” is questionable on the face of it?

    Arguably, any person so much as levied a fine on the basis of Goines’ (or any other caught-lying AGW) say-so ought to have their fines refunded – plus interest – the money taken directly out of the pocket of Goines himself.

    Not out of the taxpayers’ pockets.

    The same for any compensation awarded by a court, post-mortem, to the surviving family of his victims.

    Make him pay. And charge him.

    If Goines and others like him had to think about the possibility of life behind bars – and their families living in a van by the river – in the event of their committing an atrocity such as the one visited on Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, it is very likely the both of them would still be breathing rather than pushing up daisies.

    New Evidence in Houston No Knock Raid where Couple were Killed



    U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- There have been startling developments in the investigation of the disastrous no-knock raid in Houston on 28 January 2019. A middle-aged couple was killed and four police wounded. In the light of contradictory police stories, the family of the couple who died hired an independent forensics firm to document the evidence at the home at 7815 Harding Street. The independent investigation took place after forensic data collection done by the local government authorities.

    The independent investigators invited the Texas Rangers and the Harris County Institute for Forensic Science to attend the investigation. Both declined the invitation. The independent investigation findings were released on 14 May 2019. On 24 July 2019, family attorney Mike Doyle presented the findings in court.

    Rhogena Nicholas, was a supporter of President Trump. Her husband, Dennis Tuttle was a Navy veteran. They had no criminal records. They lived in their home in Houston for 20 years and were married for the same 20 years.

    A narcotics investigator, Officer Goines, obtained a warrant to raid their home. According to Police Chief Acevedo and abc13.com, on 13 February 2019, the warrant was based on lies.

    “We know that a crime has been committed. It's a serious crime,” said Acevedo, who is referring to clear lies in the original warrant. “When we go into someone's home, which is the sanctity in someone's home, it has to be truthful. It has to be honest. It has to be absolutely factual. So, we know there's a crime that's been committed. There's a high probability that there will be a criminal charge.”

    The police broke down their door. The first officer shot the Tuttles' dog. He claimed the dog was “charging him”. That shot started the gun battle. Dennis Tuttle supposedly shot back with a .357 magnum revolver, wounding the first officer in the door. Initially, on 28 January 2019, no revolver was inventoried from the scene.

    The day after the independent forensics team findings were released, on 14 May 2019, the Houston Police said the revolver was among the evidence police investigators recovered.

    Police claim Rhogena attempted to take a shotgun from a wounded officer. She was shot and killed. It is not clear if she ever touched the officer's shotgun. The independent forensic report claims she was killed by bullets fired through the wall of the home, where the person firing could not have seen her. From houstohchronicle.com 24 July 2019:

    Doyle said his team had recovered the bullet that killed Nicholas, and that evidence showed she was shot by an officer standing outside of the house, who fired through a wall — meaning he would not have been able to see her — striking her as she turned away from the door, toward where her dead dog was found.

    In addition, the independent investigators' report claimed the couple's dog was shot at the edge of the dining room, 15 feet from the door. That raises questions about the claim the dog was charging at the first officer in the door.

    …though the outside forensics review showed the dog was shot and killed at the edge of the dining room, 15 feet from the front door.

    The exact timing of events is uncertain because no officers wore body cameras. Surveillance video from the house next door was confiscated by the police. Houston Police have refused to release the 911 calls.

    The independent investigators were able to recover a cell phone video of the event. The most provocative evidence claimed from the video, is two shots were fired almost 30 minutes after the raid started. The investigators claim it was shortly after those shots were fired, the police at the scene said that “Both suspects were down”. The private investigators found evidence that two shots were fired inside the home, into the back wall of the dining room, from very close range, contrary to police versions of the event. In total, the private investigators recovered more than 10 bullets from inside the Harding Street house. From houstoncronicle.com 24 July, 2019:

    The independent review, released in a court filing Thursday, also highlighted the perplexing presence of two bullet holes in an inner room of the home, shot into the wall from inches away but more than four yards from the shootout by the front door.

    Taken in conjunction with video footage that appears to have captured the sound of two shots half an hour after the gunbattle, family attorney Mike Doyle argued in a 22-page legal petition that the independent findings raise enough questions to merit further investigation in preparation for a lawsuit.

    The independent investigators say they did not find evidence of people inside the house firing toward the outside.

    The independent investigators recovered two teeth, they say belonged to Dennis Tuttle, inside the house. The autopsy of Dennis Tuttle should reveal if he was shot in the head and if he was missing teeth as a result.

    The competence of the official local forensic investigators is questionable, if they left 10 bullets and two human teeth, at the scene, to be recovered by independent forensic investigators.

    Of the last 109 cases where Officer Goines swore out search warrants, all made claims of guns, but no guns were recorded as having been seized. From khou.com:
