Two Dallas officers charged with assaulting people during 2020 George Floyd protests

The Dallas District Attorney's Office issued arrest warrants Wednesday for two police officers who allegedly injured people during the 2020 protests against police brutality. The officers were expected to turn themselves in to the Dallas County Sheriff's Department, according to police. 

Senior Corporal Ryan Mabry is charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon by a public servant, which is a first-degree felony, and three counts of official oppression. The officer is accused of shooting three people at the May 30, 2020, protests with a 40-millimeter launcher, which is referred to as "less lethal" ammunition, according to the District Attorney's Office. One of the victims lost an eye when he was shot. 

Senior Corporal Melvin Williams is facing two charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon by a public servant, and four official oppression charges, which are classified as Class A misdemeanors. Williams allegedly shot three people with 40-millimeter launchers during the 2020 protests. The fourth official oppression charge stems from an alleged assault in July 2021.
