A 15-year-old boy has been shot dead by police as he and his friends were driving away from a party.

Jordan Edwards was hit by a bullet fired through a passenger window in Balch Springs, Texas, on Saturday night.

Police said they had been called following reports of drunken teens in the area and heard gunshots at around 11pm on Saturday.

Dallas News reported the vehicle had started driving towards officers in an “aggressive manner” when the officers opened fire.

The police are a true racist criminal organization at this point. The biggest in the US.

Is there a dash cam video?

Cops originally said that the car was backing up towards them, but now say it was moving forward and away.

The kids said their group was not drinking. So why were they running away? I would like to see the video.

Enough said. Before the proliferation of video the story never would have changed.

Why does running away matter? If by running away you mean leaving in a car since that is what they did.
Know your rights.

They gun down innocent white people too, so it's not race, it's that they're above the law.

That's what happens when you don't hold people accountable.

Why? What if they were drinking? Since when Is a cop entitled to use deadly force on underage drinkers?

Well, I read that the video is inconsistent with the cop's story, so I wish they would release it. That will help tell if the shooting was justified but it doesn't look good for the cops at this point.
