The family of a black teenager who was killed by a Texas police officer who fired his weapon into a car leaving a house party slammed the officer’s 15-year sentence. Jordan Edwards, 15, was unarmed when Roy Oliver, a police officer in Balch Springs, fired into a car that was filled with teenagers. Oliver's partner told jurors he didn't believe his life was ever in danger. Earlier Wednesday, Dallas County district attorney Faith Johnson said Oliver was a "killer in blue" and told jurors they could send a message that bad officers will not be tolerated. The jury's decision is not just about Jordan Edwards, but all other black men and women who have been killed and not received justice, said Daryl Washington, an attorney for the teenager's father.
