I have received nothing yet from the Galveston district attorney or or police department. However, the attorney for the officers involved in this incident, William helfland, sent me an email reiterating what he said earlier:
Quote
Both the daughter and the father were arrested for assaulting a peace officer. The father basically attacked police officers as they were trying to take the daughter into custody after she ran off.
The city has investigated the matter and found that the conduct of the police officers was appropriate under the circumstances. It's unfortunate that sometimes police officers have to use force against people who are using force against them. And the evidence will show that both these folks violated the law and forcefully resisted arrest.
I won't comment on this response. It's not because I don't have a comment, but because I make it a policy not to use profanity here at AWRM.
