After the city of Austin paid out 18 million in phony damages, the charges are dropped by the local prosecutor.

After the city of Austin paid out 18 million in phony damages, the charges are dropped by the local prosecutor. We have this story that shows the battle is taking a different course.

A Texas prosecutor whose office oversaw indictments against more than 20 Austin police officers for tactics used during the 2020 protests that followed George Floyd's killing said Monday he was dropping most of the cases and would ask the Justice Department to investigate instead. 

So, the local yokel must have been getting a lot of pressure from the public.
