DALLAS (AP) — According to arrest affidavits, two Dallas police officers accused of injuring demonstrators during the 2020 protests following George Floyd’s killing fired less-lethal ammunition at people who were backing away from police and didn’t pose any danger. The Dallas Morning News reports that the affidavits it obtained Thursday dispute some police and attorney statements that injured protesters weren’t complying with police. Prosecutors on Wednesday announced charges against Sr. Cpl. Ryan Mabry and former Sr. Cpl. Melvin Williams. Both are accused in cases involving men who suffered serious injuries, including one who lost an eye and another whose cheekbone was smashed.
