Two Police Deputies Indicted in Texas for Killing Javier Ambler After Traffic Stop
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A grand jury in Texas has indicted two former police deputies on
second-degree manslaughter charges for killing Javier Ambler, a
40-year-old Black man. Ambler was tasered to death in Austin in March of
2019 after being pulled over for not dimming his headlights for oncoming
traffic. As he was dying, Ambler said, "I have congestive heart
failure," and "I can't breathe." Bail has been set at $150,000 for the
two deputies, James Johnson and Zachary Camden.
