I don't think it will happen unless a state agency or the feds get involved. The chief gives the impression that he's going to protect his officers as much as possible since he's still somewhat blaming the couple even with the new revelations.
No, this one is going to result in prison...likely life (and rightfully so) for the one officer who falsified the warrant app. In most states, the commission of any felony that results in death is automatically a Felony Murder charge. There's no sweeping this under the rug. The State will be involved as well, and likely the Feds on the civil rights angle. If the HPD Chief has any sense, he will hand this off to the State / Feds and let them run with it. We'll see.
I understand the FOIA response. Active investigation, and with the state and/or feds likely stepping in, best for now to let them decide when to release all of that info. Eventually, it will get out, but to release it now is to potentially contaminate the jury pool, which plays right into the hands of a future defense argument / motion. You have to see both sides of the argument here, and take the long view.
My blood runs blue, but I am in complete agreement with all here who think an example should be made of those who betray their oath. There is no excuse for this. The badge of every honest LEO in this nation now has tarnish from this incident on it, and it takes a long time to get it off. It's one thing to defend an officer who makes an honest mistake. This was not a mistake, or honest, by any measure.
Obviously, something put this couple on HPD's "radar". Rumors, street talk, previous interactions, whatever. While understanding that (a) I wasn't there, (b) have no first-hand knowledge, and (c) have learned to never trust the MSM regardless of which side they're on, this is clearly an inexplainable and inexcusable abuse of power. And people died because of it. There must be justice here, and let the sword fall where it may.
When something like this happens, I always ask myself "what would I think if this was a member of my family?" In this case, based solely on the prima facie standard, it looks like a home invasion by HPD officers. So as I said, let justice be done, and let those who are responsible for this be held accountable for their actions.
I doubt if you'll find any of the LEO's on VN circling the wagons on this one.
