GOOD COP / BAD COP

Mesa PD pigs beatdown brother for no reason. They were responding to a DV call that involved somebody else but decided to beat the shit out of the first person that they saw.

They charged the brother and falsified their reports by not even mentioning the beating. He was saved by the apartment complex's security camera.




Oh, and this is the same department that employed this fucking maniac:

 

TEXAS.
Bad cop. GUILTY.
GOOD COP partner testified against him.

Ex-Balch Spring police Officer is found GUILTY of murdering boy, 15, after shooting into a car of unarmed teens as they drove from a house party

• 
  
  • Roy Oliver was on trial for killing teenager Jordan Edwards in April last year
  • Oliver, who has already been fired from the police, opened fire on a car full of unarmed teens leaving a house party
  • Oliver said that he had 'no choice' but to open fire after fearing for his partner
  • But partner Tyler Gross has previously said he was never in fear of his life

Roy Oliver, 38, has been convicted for firing into the car and killing Jordan Edwards in April 2017.

He was, however, found not guilty on two counts of aggravated assault for firing his rifle into the car full of teenagers.

Edwards, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and trying to leave the party, was shot in the back of the head and died at the scene in front of his brother.

Oliver, who has already been fired from the Balch Springs Police Department, testified that he opened fire after seeing the car move toward his partner.

The former cop told jurors last week that he thought his partner, Officer Tyler Gross, was in danger. Gross told jurors he didn't fear for his life and never felt the need to fire his weapon.

The Dallas County jury deliberated for around 12 hours for a period of two days before deciding on a verdict, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Edwards' family clapped and cheered after the verdict was read.

It's been a long time, hard year, and we're just really happy,' Odell Edwards, Jordan's father, said. 'We did it.'


Father and Son

Oliver was immediately taken into custody and his bond was revoked.

The jury will now listen to testimony from Jordan's family, friends, and teachers before determining Oliver's sentence.

He faces up to life in prison.

Tuesday's conviction marked the first time in more than 40 years since an on-duty cop has been found guilty of killing someone in a shooting in Texas.

Experts said ahead of the trial that securing convictions against an officer was challenging, in part because criminal culpability in on-duty shootings is subjective and jurors are more inclined to believe police testimony.

In closing arguments, defense attorneys told the jury they needed to evaluate the circumstances from Oliver's viewpoint and from what the former officer knew at the time.

But prosecutors described Oliver as out of control and looking for a reason to kill. They argued that his firing into the car wasn't reasonable.

The shooting came after Oliver and Gross, had broken up a large house party following a report of underage drinking.

Both officers were inside the residence when they heard gunfire outside and responded.

Authorities later determined the shots were fired near a nursing home in the area.

Oliver retrieved his rifle and went toward Gross, who was ordering the car carrying Edwards to stop. He claimed his partner had a sense of urgency in his voice.

The officer testified that he saw the car back up and stop for a second before moving forward and going toward Gross.

He claimed he saw movement from a passenger's silhouette inside the vehicle, and thought Gross had found a shooter or shooters or at least some information on the gunfire.

Oliver said a vehicle can be considered a deadly weapon, so he was left with no choice but to fire his rifle.

Gross, however, testified that he didn't feel like the vehicle was trying to hit him.

Bodycam evidence:



During his testimony, Oliver said it was 'very sickening' when he realized he had killed the boy. 'I was in shock for days,' he said.

Two teenagers who were at the party testified last week that they were across the street when Oliver fired.

The teens, Eric Knight and Jeremy Seaton, said they could not see a justification for the gunfire.

Seaton said the car was not facing an officer at the time and had steered into the wrong lane of traffic to avoid officers.

The prosecution said all five shots were fired by Oliver after the car had passed Gross. Investigators also said no guns were found in the teens' vehicle.

Body-cam footage shown during the trial showed Jordan's brother and his friends all putting their hands outside the car's windows after he was shot.

Officer Jeremy Chamblee testified that the teens were 'begging' for help after Jordan was killed.

'I specifically heard the driver stating needing help cause his brother was shot dead in the vehicle by a police officer,' Chamblee said.

Chamblee also revealed that Jordan's brother asked if they could pray together following the teen's death.

'He was asking God to watch over his brother if he doesn't make it, to keep him safe,' Chamblee recalled.

Philip Hayden, a use-of-force expert called by the prosecution, said Oliver used excessive force when he shot and killed Edwards and testified that a reasonable officer would not have opened fire.

Oliver also testified the shooting could have been prevented if one of the bystanders had waved at him and reported the shooters near the nursing home had left the scene.

'It would have changed the outcome,' he said.

The defense also asked Oliver about an April 2017 incident in which he was rear ended while off duty and drew his weapon.

Police say he pointed the weapon at the ground after the collision. He was later indicted on two counts of aggravated assault tied to the incident.

Oliver, who said he was driving with his wife and young son at the time, testified he did hold his firearm up against his chest during the encounter.

Defense attorney Bob Gill told the jury in an opening statement last Thursday that the law requires them to view the situation through Oliver's perspective.

'It doesn't matter that looking back on it, in hindsight, we'd all make a different decision now,' he said in court.

'We have to look at it how Roy Oliver saw it at the time and what he saw was a significant threat to his partner.'

George Lewis, the Dallas County District Attorney's chief prosecutor, told the jury that Oliver was reckless with the boys' lives.

 

While this beautiful man lies dead, his vermin killers still breathe.

Why do the productive men of society fatally suffer, while the scum loser dregs of society do nothing but destroy and take lives?!

R.I.P., Officer Toney, thank you for your protection, your service and your sacrifice. Your life MATTERED! </3
