The Harris County District Attorney's Office has dismissed 27 criminal cases and is in the process of reviewing 1,400 other convictions related to the officers charged in the botched Harding Street raid.

The 14,000 cases being probed include 2,200 drug cases linked to Goines and Bryant.

However, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo believes it's not a department wide problem.

"We've been looking at a lot of cases and we have yet to see it again, any evidence of any systemic issues," Acevedo said.

Harris County DA @HarrisCountyDAO Ogg's office has dismissed 27 cases and is reviewing 1,400 other convictions after credibility issues emerged regarding one of the officers in a deadly drug raid. Prosecutors say the probe has grown to 14,000 cases.

This type of wanton abuse and misuse of police power does not go unnoticed by the leadership. Something tells me there was some “wink and a nod” action going on here for a very long time.

That also applies the rank and file, as well as their union.

You are right that others were looking the other way on purpose.

It's all about the money. It always is. Money for them and the police departments to abuse citizens every single day in this country.

What goes on in our private homes should've stayed that way unless someone is being abused on the inside and you can prove it with a simple knock on the door. Not a no knock raid to kill the innocent.

We know this exists at the FBI level. Starting to think it is absolutely throughout every level of law enforcement.

So I suspect, too. I’ve caught our local PD in a coverup in a murder/rape case that I’ve been covering in my newsblog. A couple of more pieces of paper, and I’ll have them boxed. It’s a shame, too. One of the guys was someone who I thought was a good cop.

I think that changing this needs to start with prosecutors. They are not stupid people. They know when someone has been falsely or illegally charged. But instead of upholding the law, they threaten the poor victim, who pleads to avoid going down for life. If prosecutors didn’t look the other way, this guy would have been stopped a long time ago.

A wink and a nod.... and in every department.

It's a nation-wide problem.
