http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/brother-teen-killed-police-was-handcuffed-held-overnight-lawyer-n753991Brother of Teen Killed by Police Was Handcuffed and Held Overnight: Lawyer
An older teen who was in the car when his 15-year-old brother was fatally shot by a Texas officer was himself then handcuffed and hauled off to a jail cell overnight — "for no apparent reason," an attorney who represents the boys' family said on Tuesday.
The 16-year-old brother of high school freshman Jordan Edwards was sitting in the same car with him the night a Balch Springs police officer fired multiple rifle rounds at their vehicle.
One of the bullets hit Jordan in the head and he later died from the injury.
"After seeing his brother get shot, Jordan's older brother was handcuffed and taken by police for no particular reason," said Lee Merritt, the family's lawyer. He was not a suspect and there were no charges against him, he said.
Although police later said they took the brother and kept him in order to question him as a witness, none of the other teens in the car were taken, he said.
The teen spent the night in jail and was released the next morning — and it was only then that he found out about his brother's death, he said.
"Not only have Jordan's brothers lost their best friend; they witnessed firsthand his violent, senseless, murder," the family said in a statement on Tuesday. "Their young lives will be forever altered," said the statement.
But it wasn't just Edward's brother, Balch Springs Police officers also wanted to hold Edwards's father when he arrived at the station asking about his sons, Merritt said. "Balch Springs PD called the Dallas County Sheriff's office and asked if they could restrain Jordan's father because of his "hostile" behavior," he said.
Law enforcement subsequently held Edwards' father at a Dallas County Building, he said.
The Balch Springs Police Department did not return multiple requests for comment by NBC News on Tuesday.
While police initially stated that the car full of teens was driving "aggressively towards the officer" prompting the shot, Balch Springs Police Chief Jonathon Haber quickly recanted the account after viewing officer worn body camera on Monday.
"In a hurry to get the statement out, I misspoke," said Haber at a press conference on Monday. "I take responsibility for that, he said.
Haber revealed that the car carrying the teens was moving away from the officer, adding that the action by the cop "did not meet core values," he said.
The NAACP of Dallas is in contact with the family, said Merritt. But the family does not want any demonstrations until Jordan's funeral, which is tentatively planned for Saturday, he said.
"While our family attempts to cope with this loss, we ask that at this time the community please refrain from protests n marches in Jordan's or our family's name, as we prepare for his funeral," said the boy's family in a statement.
"The family had been amazingly resilient during this time," said Merritt. "I can't imagine being able to endure the loss the way they have," he said. -

AUSTIN — Virginia Bradford taught her three kids to respect police. “Stop when they tell you to stop,” she told them. And always do what they tell you to do.
She hoped her words would save their lives.
But four years ago, when two Dallas officers thought they saw suspicious activity and approached her son, Fred Bradford Jr., her lessons about respect didn’t matter. Bradford, 51, fled on his bicycle.
The officers pursued him — one on foot, the other in a squad car. Bryan Burgess, the officer in the car, ran over Bradford during the pursuit. He then altered the scene and told paramedics someone else had hit Bradford.
Bradford, who had no criminal record, died a few weeks later from his injuries.
“Dealing with it — it’s just taken a lot,” his 72-year-old mother said. “I miss him, so it’s been really hard.”
The Dallas area is reeling from the news of another police shooting that occurred over the weekend. A car full of teens was driving away from police in Balch Springs when an officer fatally shot 15-year-old Jordan Edwards, a high-achieving student and standout athlete.
Dallas Sen. Royce West and Houston Rep. Senfronia Thompson are trying to prevent deaths that stem from police encounters with bills that would teach citizens how to interact with officers and require more de-escalation training for police.
Thompson's House Bill 1864 would require driver's education courses to include information about law enforcement procedures for traffic stops.
West's Senate Bill 30 would require the procedures to be taught in public schools or driver's education courses. He's also working with the Department of Public Safety to include the procedures in the state's driver's license manual.
"I don't know how [my bill] would have impacted that situation," West said of Edwards' shooting. But he said his bill, which he dubbed the Community Safety Act, would give the public another "tool in the toolbox" to avoid these kinds of incidents.
On Tuesday, he asked the Senate to adjourn in Edwards' honor and sent condolences to the teen's friends and family.
"Your family ... must attempt to make sense of what has taken place, while others are left to attempt to explain, frankly, the inexplicable," West said. "? bless the Edwards family."
Lawmakers and police groups see the proposals as a way to calm tense relationships between police and communities of color. Critics of the bills say the burden for bridging that gap lies with police, not the public.
“It’s not the responsibility of any Texan to extend the olive branch to police to reset something,” said Ashton Woods, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Houston. “I don’t think the onus should be on us.”
A necessary conversation
The authors of the bills, both African-Americans, said they filed the measures in response to high-profile police shootings and violent incidents nationwide in recent years, including the death of Sandra Bland in a Texas jail in 2015.
“We don’t want to keep getting killed,” Thompson said. “The ultimate goal is if we can start building trust between the community and law enforcement.”
West said he hopes his bill, which the Senate approved in March, will reduce the number of deaths and high-tension encounters between police and citizens.
“I think citizens need to know what the expectations are and they need to — especially young people — put themselves in the footsteps of a police officer on the scene,” West said.
He experienced the tension firsthand last July at a Black Lives Matter rally in downtown Dallas, where a gunman opened fire on the crowd and killed five police officers.
Police groups say some young people are never taught how to handle a police stop or have been misinformed about what they are allowed to do. Lessons would allow students to ask questions about their rights during a traffic stop and could help reduce tension during those interactions, especially if they were taught by a law enforcement officer, said Kevin Lawrence, executive director of the Texas Municipal Police Association.
“If this changes conflict to resolution, I think that’s what we’re all looking for,” said Frederick Frazier, a vice president of the Dallas Police Association.
Police groups also approve of the bills' provisions that would require more police training on preventing incidents from escalating. And if officers understood community concerns better, Frazier said, they could do their jobs more effectively.
‘A tragic state of affairs’
Critics don't agree with teaching students how to handle a traffic stop.
“It is a tragic state of affairs that we have to train young drivers, particularly young black men, how to act so that a police officer doesn’t shoot them,” said John Fullinwider, co-founder of Mothers Against Police Brutality.
Thompson said that she understands the concerns and that the burden also falls on officers, which is why she included the provision for more police training.
“I’m African-American. I get it. I have sons myself,” she said. “Whenever I see them walk out the door, I wonder if I’m going to see them again. That’s every mother.”
But she said her proposal is meant to help the situation.
“I started thinking about how would children know how to act if they’re not taught how to act?” she said. “At the end of the day, we want both sides when they walk out their door in the morning to be able to walk back home at night.”
Woods, of Houston’s Black Lives Matter group, says the solutions proposed are “a day late and a dollar short.” The state should focus on policies that would encourage people to trust police, he said, such as improved racial profiling data and stricter punishment of officers who unjustifiably use force.
“The tension between police and the broader community, particularly in black and Hispanic neighborhoods, is not due to anything more than police misconduct,” Fullinwider said. “That’s not the fault of the public.”
Virginia Bradford said she appreciates the sentiment behind West and Thompson’s bills. But for her, they miss the heart of the problem: There aren’t enough consequences for officers who abuse their authority.
Last month, four years to the day when the officer ran over her son, a jury acquitted Burgess.
His lawyers told the court that Fred Bradford had “escalated the situation.”
To Virginia Bradford, that’s not justice. Her son is dead. And there aren’t enough classes in the world that can change that.
“I think the classes would be nice,” she said. “But we need to be willing to hold officers accountable when they do wrong.”
These "black" leaders today are so weak and pathetic... -
^ part of the attempted cover up.. the false arrest went hand and hand with the unprovoked shooting.
