AUSTIN (KXAN) — On Thursday, the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas and Austin Police Association called on Travis County District Attorney José Garza to cease any announcements regarding any prosecuted cases involving Austin Police Department officers until after the Democratic primary and runoffs.

This comes as APA said there could be a statement Thursday or Friday announcing the indictment of a number of officers involved in the 2020 racial injustice protests.

“The district attorney is using this case to drive voters to the polls,” said Ken Casaday, APA president. “He is driving people to vote for a far-left radical ex-city councilman who is running for Congress. Greg Casar did more to ruin the city of Austin through spearheading the defunding of the police movement more than anyone else in the history of the city of Austin, and DA José Garza is following in his footsteps.”

Garza fired back during a Thursday press conference where he announced “multiple indictments” against several Austin police officers.

“There are some people in this community and across the state who insist that there must never be accountability for law enforcement if they break the law,” Garza said. “Some of them have already suggested that our office’s review of the 2020 protests have been biased and that we are targeting police, while letting others off scot-free. That could not be further from the truth.”
