A criminal case related to the 2020 Austin, Texas, George Floyd riots has sparked controversy, with law enforcement groups calling for the resignation of Soros-backed District Attorney Jose Garza. Attorneys for Austin Police Department officer Chance Bretches have filed a motion to dismiss the case, alleging prosecutors withheld key evidence and engaged in misconduct.
