| [Jpost] A suburban Dallas police officer was charged with murder on Friday for shooting a rifle into a car of unarmed teenagers driving away from him, killing a 15-year-old boy, a lawyer for the child's family said, after the incident sparked national outrage. A judge signed the murder warrant for former Balch Springs police officer Roy Oliver, the Dallas Morning News reported, citing law enforcement sources. Family lawyer S. Lee Merritt did not provide further details. ...Jordan Edwards, a black high school student described by family and friends as a stand-out student and athlete, was struck by a bullet to the head on Saturday and died. Two of his brothers were in the car with him and watched him die, Merritt has said. The killing that took place in a primarily black and Hispanic neighborhood stoked simmering tensions of perceived racial bias in US policing. Oliver, 37, has not been taken into custody, the Dallas Morning News said. Prior to being a police officer, Oliver enlisted in the Army from March 2004- March 2010 Oliver was sworn in to the Balch Springs Police Department on July 25, 2011 after passing the Peace Officer Licensing exam with a score of 90 |

| #2 Odd how they forgot (again) to meantion what led up to the shooting. Almost as if it doesn't matter since the victim was a member of a protected class. |
