The Republican said Sgt. Daniel Perry, 35, was acting in his own defense when he repeatedly fired his handgun on 28-year-old Garrett Foster as he marched in the 2020 Austin demonstration.
In a Twitter reply, Abbot said that he “strongly supports” a user’s theory that Garza “intentionally mislead the Grand Jury” throughout the trial. Perry — who was stationed at Fort Hood, about 70 miles north of Austin — had run into the July 25, 2020 rally during his shift as a rideshare driver and became enraged when protesters started beating his car.
