Houston cop 'lied about drug dealing so officers could storm home' sparking a shootout which left a couple dead and five officers wounded

The Houston officer who led a deadly raid in which a couple were killed and five cops were injured lied to get a search warrant, according to the city's police chief.

Lead investigator Gerald Goines alleged an informant bought heroin at the house of Dennis Tuttle, 59, and Rhogena Nicholas, 58, the day before the January 28 raid. The informant had also allegedly seen a handgun in the home.

But according to an affidavit filed as part of the ongoing investigation into the raid and made public Friday, the informant told investigators he or she had not bought any drugs at the home and had not been involved in any work leading up to the raid.

Oops, I forgot. They also need to charge him with aggravated battery on a peace officer for the cops that got wounded.

The criminal act of the officer lead to the death of two people and the wounding of more.... officer should get life without the possibly of parole

Texas seems to be very fond of the death penalty. Let's see if they'll apply it equally or if there are laws for them and laws for us.

I bet the only reason this came out is because officers were wounded and the chief is taking flak from the union and fellow officers. Somebody had to be held accountable for the injuries to the police.

Did Goines gave a personal issue with this couple? Or, is this just the way he did business over the last 30 years when he needed to boost his arrest numbers?

I am sooooo certain this will come out in the Internal Affairs investigation, aren't you?

"Authorities still believe Tuttle and Nicholas were involved in criminal activity, but Acevedo said the case now is undermined."

BULL!!!

Acevedo should have learned to SHUT UP until he has EVIDENCE!!!!!

[myerson]

We cannot believe one thing the cops claim happened before, during or after this incident. Put it all to strict proof.

[Chode]

now ALL of them are going to be charged with double murder... right???

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

Yep, all cops are murdering, lying, evil POS and should be tortured then eliminated en masse...........(s)

Q. How do crooked cops stay on the job? (for 30 years, in this case)
A. Good cops look the other way.

If you can't believe one statement you surely shouldn't believe another.

But, but, but, cops!

[Mariner]

This cop was a 30 year veteran.

This is not his first BS raid, nor likely his first murder.

And everyone who has worked with him knows it. All of them.

And for 30 years they have all been covering his ass.

Please add me to the JBT ping list.

It almost sounds like there was some personal vendetta to be settled between Occifer Goines and the deceased.

"Deprivation of rights under the color of law", is what it's called in some places.

[arthurus]

I wonder if some of these involve personal revenge on the part of the policeman.

What’s the motive?

The purpose of power is the abuse of power (1984, paraphrased).

Sociopaths gotta sociopath...

[traderrob6]

Yep, as I stated previously the entire Houston PD are crooked, lying SOB’s and are likely indicative of all police departments so kill em all!......(s)

[BlackbirdSST]

Yep, all cops are murdering, lying, evil POS and should be tortured then eliminated en masse...........(s)

None are, until we catch them in the act. It's what doesn't happen to those when caught that pisses most of US off.

[redhead]

who paid off that rotten cop to commit this crime ?? Asking for a couple of friends...

[PAR35]

Maybe someone wanted the real estate? Maybe he just gets his jollies kicking in doors on couples.
