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.
