The no-knock search warrant for the drug raid that killed a middle-aged couple in their Houston home on January 28 seems to have been based on a "controlled buy" that never happened by a confidential informant who does not exist. According to a February 8 search warrant affidavit obtained by KPRC, the NBC station in Houston, investigators looking into the raid at 7815 Harding Street, the home of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, have been unable to identify the C.I. who supposedly bought heroin from Tuttle the day before.
Dissing honest police and firefighters by removing your 100 Club sticker for the acts of a few rogue police officers is of course your prerogative, but i believe the majority are upstanding, honest people trying to do the best they can, willing to put their life on the line every time a call comes in. I will continue to proudly display my 100 Club emblem and other organization stickers that show support for them.Bill Anderson wrote: ↑Sat Feb 16, 2019 2:00 pm The blue line and 100 Club stickers are off my truck and unlikely to ever return. The rot is too deep.

Even stranger still - the title of this thread is 5 Officers Shot - the latest version states 4 Officers were shot.RoyGBiv wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 9:23 am The news on this keeps getting worse.....

Acevedo seems to be having second thoughts about the routine use of no-knock warrants and "dynamic entry" to execute search warrants in drug cases.
"After I've had four officers shot and two suspects killed," he said, "we'll be tightening that up."
So if Goines was not wounded, that could have been the end of it and then business as usual. A scary thought.Pete92FS wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 12:15 pm The only heroin found was in Goines vehicle and that was "unreported" heroin. Was the plan to "plant" this heroin in the house after the raid but he wasn't able to follow through since he was one of the officer's shot? The Texas Rangers need to do an independent investigation because I don't think we'll ever get a straight answer out of the chief.

A mom called the Houston, TX Police Department and informed that her (58 years old) daughter is doing drugs at her own house
Police claimed a mom was worried that a young woman was doing drugs at drug house.
A fake 2-weeks drug investigation was invented
A controlled buy of Heroin with help of "Confidential Informant " was claimed out of the thin air
A lot of Heroin baggies were imagined at said house
A 9mm pistol was magically made to be at the said house while the heroin was bought
A fraudulent search warrant was made with 100% bogus information
A no-knock search warrant was issued by a Judge based on invented crimes
A raid by the SWAT was conducted at said "drug house"
Both the male homeowner and the daughter of the "complaining mom" , his wife, and their dog were shot and killed by the Police.
5-officers raiding the house were shot in self defense by the home owners
Police claimed the home owners were shooting at the house invaders, the police team, with 357 revolver.
After the raid:
Chief Art Acevedo of Houston Police Department went on a fiery news conference complaining about proliferation of legal gun owners in Texas and the use of security Cameras by homeowners. (None could be found at the raided house)
At said raided house,
No 9mm pistol was found
No 357 revolver was found
Not a single pistol of any caliber was found
No Baggies of heroin were found
No Heroin of any amount was found
No informant could be found who can testify that he did the controlled sale at said house
There was no controlled buy drugs of any kind
There was no 2-weeks drug investigation of any kind
Chief Art Acevedo of Houston Police Department do the right thing and "Resign!"
Or he used it to set people up and planted it on unsuspecting people to get arrests.Jason Todd wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 5:11 pmIn other words, it was Gerald Goines' personal inventory. So, is he a street level dealer or higher up in the hierarchy?
Found this on the 'Net, not sure exactly how old the info is, so take it for what it's worth, but still, kind of indicative.philip964 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 11:06 pm ABC 13 reported:
“According to the court documents, police recovered four guns, about 18 grams of marijuana and about 1.5 grams of an unknown white powder.”
Is 1 gram very much?
Attorney familiar with drug operations said he would have expected to find scales and unused baggies if it was a drug operation.
The smallest amount of cocaine you can typically buy on the streets is half a gram. This can run anywhere from $20-50 USD. A single gram of cocaine costs between $50-150 USD. Again, prices vary by purity, location, and mood of the dealer.
