America sinks deeper into the quagmire of totalitarianism. Last Friday in Austin, a Texas soldier was found guilty of murder after Soros-backed District Attorney Jose Garza sought murder charges for an act of self-defense during the 2020 George Floyd riots. Interestingly Perry was found not guilty of aggravated assault.
Sgt. Daniel Perry was driving Uber and had dropped off a customer in downtown Austin when rioters mobbed his car. Rioters beat on the car. More than 20 sets of fingerprints were found on the vehicle. During the confrontation Garrett Foster pointed an AK-47 at Perry. Perry deemed himself to be at imminent risk of being murdered and shot Foster in self-defense. Foster died on the scene. Perry turned himself into authorities after the shooting.
The police investigated, deemed it justifiable homicide and declined to arrest Perry. This did not sit well with Garza. He convened a grand jury and got them to indict Perry in 2021 for murder and aggravated assault. Let’s keep in mind that Foster had been warned by law enforcement that, while open carry was legal, any reasonable person would interpret his pointing the weapon at them as threatening.
Now, one might be tempted to say that the trial was just the justice system at work. However, the lead detective on the case, David Fugitt, has come forward and accused Garza of witness tampering and barring exculpatory evidence from the grand jury.
Fugitt’s affidavit states:
“Prior to the grand jury presentation in this case, I had several conversations with the district attorney’s office regarding the presentation of exculpatory evidence related to Daniel Perry. It became clear to me that the District Attorney’s office did not want to present evidence to the grand jury that would be exculpatory to Daniel Perry and/or show the witnesses statements obtained by the family of Garrett Foster and/or their attorneys were inconsistent with prior interviews such witnesses gave the police and/or the video of the incident in question. I had also wanted to present previous statements from the Complainant in Count 2 where she never once suggested that Daniel Perry intentionally and knowingly threatened her with imminent bodily injury by driving a motor vehicle in her direction. The District Attorney’s Office also made me remove an animation from Daniel Perry’s driving the night of the incident coordinated with his cell phone records that would have refuted the deadly conduct charge ultimately returned by the grand jury.
On more than one occasion I was directed by the Travis County Attorney’s Office to remove exculpatory evidence that I had intended to present to the grand jury during my testimony. At that point, I specifically asked if there would be “ramifications” if I did not do so. I was told by assistant district attorney Guillermo Gonzalez that he would ask elected District Attorney, Jose Garza, what would happen if I refused to agree to the limitations I was being ordered to comply with. I was later sent an email simply reaffirming the exculpatory evidence subjects I was forbidden from mentioning during my testimony. Of my original 158 slide PowerPoint presentation, the presentation was reduced to 56 slides with almost all of the exculpatory evidence ordered removed. I felt like I did not have any other options but to comply with their orders.
In my mind, after this directive from Jose Garza, is when the conduct of the District Attorney’s Office when from highly unethical behavior to criminal behavior.”
If this is true, the DA needs to be disbarred and face criminal charges. However, the problem in our current system of justice is the enormous power that these people have without apparent railings to prevent abuse. The system is supposed to protect citizens but it is terrorizing them. One only has to look at the J6 persecutions to recognize this fact. This is happening without consequences to those who are engaging in these evil acts.
Texas AG Ken Paxton has stepped in and said:
“Self-defense is a God-given right, not a crime. Unfortunately, the Soros-backed DA in Travis County cares more about the radical agenda of dangerous Antifa and BLM mobs than justice. This week has shown us how rogue prosecutors have weaponized the judicial system. They must be stopped!”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has stepped into the fray.

It is great that the governor recognizes a terrible injustice. However, it does not correct the underlying problem. That being rogue prosecutors ignoring constitutional rights and abusing the system to meet some ideological construct. When will George Soros be held accountable for the travesties of justice being visited on everyday Americans?
