Abbott hints at exoneration for officers indicted over tactics at racial justice protests

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Wednesday hinted at the possibility for exoneration of Austin police officers indicted for their tactics in 2020 protests for racial justice.

Abbott alleged that the officers' charges were a "political sham" in a statement.

"In Austin, law enforcement officers defended the state Capitol from criminal assault, protected the Austin Police Department headquarters from being overrun, cleared the interstate from being shut down, and disrupted criminal activity in areas across the city," Abbott said.

"Many officers were physically attacked while protecting Austin. Those officers should be praised for their efforts, not prosecuted," he added.
