Channel 2 Investigates: Major questions raised about raid-turned-shootout after warrant reviewed
NBC Houston/ KPRC ^ | 2/15/19 | Mario Diaz

HOUSTON - The story from Houston Police Department narcotics officers surrounding a drug raid-turned-shootout that left five officers injured and two people dead doesn’t add up, according to a warrant reviewed by Channel 2 Investigates on Friday.

The warrant was requested by an HPD sergeant with the Special Investigations Unit, regarding the controversial raid at 7815 Harding St. on Jan. 28.

In the legal documents obtained by Channel 2 Investigates, a sergeant stated that he along with his partner were unable to track down any confidential informants involved in a drug buy at the home of 58-year-old Rhogena Nicholas and 59-year-old Dennis Tuttle. Both were killed in the shooting that also resulted in the shooting of four HPD officers.

In the warrant, the sergeant went on to say Officer Gerald Goines of HPD’s Narcotics Division provided officers, including Lt. Marsha Todd a high-ranking narcotics division supervisor, two different names of confidential informants. The warrant stated the two officers, “interviewed all of the confidential informants and all denied making a buy for Goines from the Harding Street residence, and ever purchasing narcotics from Nicholas or Tuttle.”

Channel 2 Investigates is still digging through the new records and will continue to update this breaking story throughout the day.

Drug cops are the same class of subhuman garbage they are allegedly protecting us from.

As a citizen of Houston I refuse to pay one dime to the victims. The police are going to have to take the settlement out of their funds!

Unsurprisingly, there will still be some boot-licking leather worshippers who appear here and say it’s good that the two civilians have been shot to death and there MUST HAVE BEEN a legitimate reason for the raid.

Art needs to get the checkbook out, meet with the family members, apologize to neighbors and friends, b-slap the Police Union’s president (just cos) and chat with his familiar, Kim Ogg about a grand jury.

After that, resign.

This is totally acceptable civilian collateral damage.

Originally the story was a CI bought heroin from the house, while police were watching the house. The CI returned with heroin and reports of large bags of heroin in the house and a 9mm semi auto pistol.

The raid then happened and officers were shot by a .357 revolver.

Then we found there was no heroin in the house and no 9mm.

Then we found no .357 was recovered at the scene.

Now we find that there never was a CI buy, even though we were originally told the buy was done with officer supervision.

Next up, all officers shot during raid were hit by friendly fire and the residents never fought back.

What the hell kind of world are we living in?!

I wonder if the small amount of ‘white powder’ will turn out to be confiscated evidence from another bust.

Justify salary with drug raid on hardy or harding street; hard to decide which one. Wearing street clothes, no body cam (super-secret tier one operators must protect their secret identities). Bust open door and immediately kill barking dog. When family objects to invasion shoot them, handcuff and let them bleed out on the floor of their own home.

There is a reason why the left wants to disarm the American people and it has nothing to do with any “mass shootings.”

Well, they’ve been “busted” and have all no doubt lawyered up. And the police lawyers are undoubtedly taking over from the PR department all public facing communications.

Never mind my post # 17. I didn’t realize you were referring to the FR bootlickers.

Wearing street clothes,

There in lies the problem. I was an LEO for 25 years and you never use undercover officers to make an arrest. Its just to dangerous as the targets often mistake the undercover officers as a rip team and open fire.

In a typical buy bust the undercover officer makes the purchase and leaves then you send in the uniforms to make the arrest.

In this case they were serving a warrant and had all the time in the world to formulate a safe operation.

This was unprofessional and inexcusable and could have been avoided.

So, it turns out that the sad news of five cops being shot by gangsters / drug dealers left out the part about them not actually being gangsters or drug dealers.

The couple and their pet were gunned down in cold blood while defending themselves from what they reasonably thought was a home invasion.

I live in the Houston suburbs, and this city now has a corrupt mayor, corrupt DA, corrupt city council, corrupt judges, and a police department full of corruption as well because of Democrats running the city.

Democrats = corruption

Too bad that even in the fairly conservative state of Texas, the cities are run by the Democrat cartels. Wherever the filthy, abortion-loving, sodomy-promoting Democrats can’t win an election, they find some Judas to pretend to be a Republican to continue their agenda of obtaining absolute power.
