8 Austin police officers charged after investigation into 2020 George Floyd protests are released on $1 bond, lawyers say
CNN
A prosecutor said many of the protesters injured by officers were innocent bystanders. But the officers' attorneys said seven of their eight clients were injured during clashes with protesters and that their use of bean bag rounds were authorized.
Defense attorneys Ken Ervin and Doug O'Connell said the officers reported to the Travis County jail and were fingerprinted, photographed and released.
Last week, Travis County District Attorney José Garza said multiple indictments were forthcoming, alleging many protesters injured by the officers were innocent bystanders. He said the majority of the victims suffered serious injuries.
