But Dallas Police maintained that Brown’s death had nothing to do with the Guyger trial, tweeting on Tuesday afternoon, “The rumors shared by community leaders that Mr. Brown’s death was related to the Amber Guyger trial and that DPD was responsible are false.”

“We encourage those leaders to be mindful because their words may jeopardize the integrity of the city of Dallas and DPD,” the statement continued.
