YouTube Description
as posted by the channel…but don’t worry. The cop will likely never see any real consequences so this kind of thing definitely won’t happen again! John Iadarola, Michael Tracey, and Michael A. Wood Jr., hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Police now say the car carrying a black ninth grader was driving away from them when they shot into it, rather than towards them.
At a press conference on Monday, Jonathan Haber, the police chief for the Dallas suburb of Balch Springs, Texas, walked back earlier comments made by the police department about the killing of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards. The vehicle, Haber told the Associated Press, was “moving forward as the officers approached,” rather than moving backwards towards officers.
Edwards, a freshman football player at Mesquite High School, was leaving a house party over the weekend when he was fatally shot by police. Accounts of the story initially differed, with police officers asserting that Edwards and his companions had backed down the driveway “in an aggressive manner” towards them. Lee Merritt, an attorney for Edwards’ family, contradicted those claims, telling the Washington Post that the car was fired on without provocation.”*
