First the Police Chief and the cops at the scene attempted to cover up by lying for 3 days. Should they not be charged.

Texas Cop with PTSD from Iraq War Charged with Murder of 15-Year-Old Passenger Shot in Head with AR-15

A Texas cop might have foreseen the murder charges filed against him late Friday afternoon for killing a 15-year-old unarmed black teenager by shooting him in the head with a AR-15 as he sat in the passenger seat with his brother who police now admit was driving away from police rather than aggressively backing towards the cop who shot him.

Investigators who inspected details of the shooting – mainly body camera footage – determined one of their own “intended to cause serious bodily injury and commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that caused the death of an individual,” according to the arrest warrant on murder charges issued Friday for 37-year-old Balch Springs cop Roy Durwood Oliver II.

By all accounts, the victim, Jordan Edwards, was a great kid. Honor roll student. Athlete. Not into drugs or alcohol.

On the other hand, the Dallas District Attorneys’ Office knew about officer Oliver’s violent behavior due to his bizarre tendencies within their own court room, and even filed a complaint documenting their knowledge that officer Oliver was potentially a ticking time bomb.

But that only resulted in a minor suspension which amounted to peanuts in comparison with the consequences of letting officer Oliver slip through the proverbial cracks of the justice system.

Oliver’s parents took his side, unconditionally supporting him even in light of murder charges in interviews with news media.

Linda and Roy Durwood Oliver praised their son’s good character to the media, providing him with stellar character references.


Police say one of their own intentionally murdered 15-year-old Jordan Edwards.

However, PINAC’s investigator Felipe Hemming discovered, Oliver’s 70-year-old father, Roy Durwood Oliver, has been on the Texas sex offender registry since 2000, indicating he’s likely not the best person to vouch for someone’s character.

Kevon Edwards, Joran’s older brother by only a year, was driving Jordan who was in the passenger seat, and didn’t even realize he had been shot for at least a block before turning and noticed smoke coming from the gunshot wound in his head.

For three days after the officer Oliver murdered Jordan Edwards, Balch Springs police attempted to cover up for the teen’s death and continued to lie about events that led up to the teen’s tragic death.

Balch Springs Police Chief Jonathan Haber initially said it was necessary to shoot Jordan because Kevon, 16, was backing his car in which Jordan was riding aggressively towards officer Oliver.

But that was a lie.

Video footage from Oliver’s body cam revealed the car full of five teens was actually driving away from Oliver, who spent two tours in Iraq, before fatally shot Edwards in the side of the head though the passenger side window.

And that’s probably why Roy’s Oliver’s family, perhaps after being advised by his police union lawyer, recently took to news media today vouching for their son’s character, assuring the public through reporters their son would never do such a thing and never pose a threat to a kid like Jordan Edwards because he has two toddlers of his own now.

Initial reports stated Edwards was shot in the back of the head through the rear windshield.

Those reports were not true.

Bu it all came down to the tale of the tape, which the department is still refusing to release to the public.

Balch Springs Police Chief Jonathan Haber made excuses for Oliver’s cheap shot on the Edwards, who was reportedly an honor roll student who played sports and was well-liked by his peers and teachers.

It only took three days for Chief Haber to change his story from the initial cover up narrative.

Haber said he finally got around to actually watching the video from Oliver’s body camera admitted the car full of five teens was actually driving away from him when he shot into the vehicle.

Investigators suspect the driver, Jordan Edward’s brother, didn’t stop simply because he could not hear officer Oliver’s commands.

Not too long after we published a story this afternoon about Oliver’s family blaming Oliver’s two tours in Iraq and his PTSD for why he murdered an innocent kid in cold blood, Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson filed murder charges against 37-year-old now-former cop Roy Oliver, who has not yet been arrested.

In that story we reported earlier today that district attorneys in Dallas had prior knowledge of Roy Oliver’s tendency’s to behave aggressively and act bizarrely while under oath.

In a 2013 DWI case, cursing Oliver began swearing and complaining about having to show up to court to testify and began using obscene language throughout his recount of events during his testimony

A complaint was filed by a Dallas County District Attorney over his obscenity-filled testimony while under oath in a court of law.

“You were a scary person to have in our workroom,” former Balch Springs Police Chief Ed Morris wrote in his decision to uphold officer Oliver’s suspension after Oliver attempted to appeal it.

So the Balch Springs Police Department and the Dallas District Attorney’s Office were both well aware of officer Oliver’s temperament before he murdered Jordan Edwards in a street-gangster style shooting.

It’s quite possible police and prosecutors might get all the distance they’d ever need since Oliver faces life in prison for the murder of Jordan Edwards.

The Balch Springs police department apparently failed miserably failed miserably at covering up a murder committed by one of their own, which is just one tactic in the cops’ bag of dirty tricks.

Now they could end up burying him behind the walls of a prison in order to save their own asses.

Although they would have to convict him in front of a jury.

Or he could be acquitted, especially if the Thin Blue Line privilege streamed into the courtroom as much as it did with the Dallas District Attorney’s Office and the Balch Springs Police Department, or as much as it does in other cases around the country involving corrupt cops.

If that happened, Oliver might very well contest the department’s decision to fire him and win his job back on appeal.
