Dirty Cop On Trial For The Murder Of Jordan Edwards!

Jordan Edwards life matters. Hopefully the Texas jurors in the Roy Oliver trial realize that his life was taken by a bad cop.

 A former Texas cop who gunned down a teen leaving a party is on trial. He is trying to defend his actions that led to the death of Jordan Edwards. The ex-cop talks about how he served his country as a military officer. He claims he was hit by enemy fire and how he loved his job as a cop.

You know the excuse that makes a jury show sympathy to cops. We are reminded that he shot an unarmed teen leaving a party.

Last year, Edwards was a passenger in a vehicle being driven by his brother. This dirty cop named Roy Oliver was responding to a call of a disturbance at a local home. When he heard fireworks go off, he was spooked by the noise.

So as he approached a vehicle, he claimed he ordered the vehicle to stop. The vehicle would back up and proceed forward. Oliver would start emptying his chamber into the passenger seat killing Edwards.

According to the dirty cop, he was trying to protect his partner. You know a slow moving vehicle being told to leave was then ordered to stop because of a cop's belief there was gunfire coming out the car.

The city of Balch Springs, a suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex at first defended the actions of the cop. But when the evidence came forth, they retracted their support.

Oliver was soon placed in the freezer and then fired out the cannon. The prosecutors decided to charge him with murder and reckless endangerment.

At trial, Oliver claims that he was a good cop who felt that his life was in danger.

Dirty cop faces LIFE in the iron college for murder.

Prosecutors were trying to plant the image of Oliver being a loose cannon. The judge refused to hear allegations of anger from ex-girlfriends, motorists who accused him of road rage and a former neighbor.

The prosecutors said that Oliver fired into a vehicle with no regards of who got hit. Oliver shot Edwards in the head and it instantly killed the 15 year old.

As the teens stopped the car, they were immediately ordered out the vehicle. Each of them were scared and forced to be placed in the back of cruisers.

Jordan's brother Kevon Edwards, cried at the cop saying, "Sir, why did y'all shot? We was just backing up and they came up with an assault rifle and shot in the back of the head."

"Why did he shoot? There was nothing on him. There's no reason for that."
