This kinda crap is why we left the city and why I don't just blindly trust cops. Read it all at the link it will make you sick.
On January 28, 2019, in the Pecan Park area in the East End district of Houston,[1] Houston Police Department (HPD) officers initiated a no-knock raid on a house, killing the two white homeowners, a married husband and wife: Dennis Wayne Tuttle and Rhogena Ann Nicholas.[2] They were ages 59 and 58, respectively.[3] Five HPD officers sustained injuries.[1]
St. John Barned-Smith and Keri Blakinger of the Houston Chronicle described the event as "one of the worst [scandals] to hit HPD in years".[1]

BackgroundEdit
Tuttle, who was raised in the Denver Harbor neighborhood of Houston, once served in the U.S. Navy. Tuttle's brother Cliff stated that Tuttle liked the water and chose the Navy for that reason.[4] He had sustained injuries from an accident,[5] and was honorably discharged.[3] He fathered two children with his wife, and suffered from a car crash and additional accidents.[4] At some point forward he experienced seizures. He was not working at the time of his death.[5] Tuttle's sister, Elizabeth, stated that the man "had debilitating injuries for many years and it's a sad situation."[3] He married Nicholas circa 1999,[3] after having a ceremony at a courthouse. The two had ended their previous relationships prior to becoming romantically involved.[4] Tuttle owned the house on Harding Street.[6]
Nicholas (1960-2019) was born in Ackerman, Mississippi to a dentist and a housewife. She was of partial Lebanese descent through her father. Beginning circa 1962 she grew up in Macon, Mississippi, attending Central Academy in Macon and Bauder College in Atlanta, before moving to her parents' new residence in Florida. She moved to Houston in the 1980s with her then-boyfriend. At the time of her death she was taking care of Tuttle and was paid by her ex-boyfriend to help with his day-to-day life.[5] At the time some members of her family lived in the Houston area.[3]
Goines began working for HPD circa 1985.[7] After the incident, Goines's lawyer stated that he was retiring.[8] After the raid HPD began requiring approval from the department head or a designee of that head before any no-knock raid.[9]
