Nobody Was Drinking At The Party Where Police Killed Jordan Edwards

There was never a reason for Jordan Edwards to be fatally shot by a police officer ― and a new report reveals that there was never even a reason for authorities to be at the party the teen was attending.

...

A newly released autopsy report also reveals that Edwards wasn’t under the influence when officer Roy Oliver shot him. The officer was responding to a reports that teens had been drinking at a party.

Police found no alcohol or drugs at party where cop shot Jordan Edwards

I can't believe they would lie.

Roy Oliver, the officer who shot Jordan, was later fired and arrested on a murder charge.

If Jordan was belligerent, I would be just as angry about this crime. He wasn't driving (and still wouldn't deserve to have his head blown off), and there are millions of teens who drink in our country. But they can't find anything on sweet Jordan, to blame him for this. Nothing . After Philando, I really don't want to get my hopes up, but I just can't imagine this former officer getting away with this one. I really can't.

I never get my hopes up. I always assume they will get away with it. :(

I am so glad to see this!! Justice for Jordan!!

#RoyOliver - Arguments before opening statements happening now. They are arguing over statements made by Oliver and what can be allowed. They are referencing a Garrity Warning given to defendant
