Former police found guilty of murdering teen
In a story of police accountability of murdering a teen, Balch Springs police officer who was fired after killing an unarmed, black teenager has been convicted.
While a tragic story of a death of this sort that is happening way more often than it should be, thanks to the family, community, and local prosecutors who were willing to actually investigate and prosecutor the cop for his actions, justice was served.
Hopefully, actions like this will continued to be given a serious look more than the old "I feared for my life" routine and perpetrators will continue to be held accountable.
