Five teens leaving a party. Cops arrive, end up shooting one of them in the head. Cops said car was backing towards them aggressively, only for body cam footage to show that was a lie, the car was actually moving away from them.

 

Fatal Shooting of Jordan Edwards, 15, Did Not Meet '''Core Values''': Police - NBC News

Sounds like someone may be going to Prison.

Looks bad initially, as these stories always do. What ever the truth is, I hope it is found and if guilty those responsible punished accordingly.

I read about this story about a week ago. If the initial story is true.......

Was the kid killed the driver of the car? It's hard to tell in the article.

I don't think so.

According to the news, the boy's 16 year old brother was driving.

 

I never considered myself to be naive, and believe in supporting law enforcement. However, it has been a real eye opener to see how the world of video phones and officers' cameras have shed light on what really happens in some of these cases.

 

Makes you wonder how many deaths have been covered up by the big blue wall over the years.

The police officer has been fired.

It's a scary thought.

I look forward to our LEOs cracking down on those who violate the law and disgrace them.

How many officers assisted in trying to cover it up? That's what really concerns me. Shooting into a car full of teenagers, Death penalty... I don't care if he's a cop, that's evil and he has no re guard for life. I support the honest hard working LEO's but some should never have a badge and a gun, I.E. this guy who just killed a kid for nothing other than he wasn't being obeyed.

This is sad, and I hope that Justice does prevail. Although this story hasn't been "frontpage" news, it is alarming just the same. I really hate that an entire workforce gets judged based on instances like this. There are thousands of confrontations every day between police and citizens, very few end like this. However this will be portrayed by some as normal.

It's just like my profession - teaching. Most are good, but there are those that definitely sully the name. We can't hide them or make excuses for them. They need to be called out and punished, bettering the profession.

I saw the cop was charged with murder.
