Black Airman Fatally Shot in Florida by Deputies

Then the officer should have left his in the car. If having a gun turns a situation into a threatening one then every interaction with a police officer is a threatening situation. The airman was shot for exercising his right in his own home. The he officer was wrong and handled this interaction poorly from the start. Hopefully he will not get a free pass
No, he was shot for being stupid enough to open the door with s gun in his hand

The deputy was armed because that was part of his job

He had to knock on that door and deal with whatever was on the other side

But the airman had a choice and he chose wrong
 
The other bright side will be the officer being violated repeatedly behind bars. Each cock in his ass will be a reminder that murdering people is wrong even if you have a badge.
That will never happen, nor should it.

So the deputy had no choice he was powerless to anything other than kill the airman. Come one man even you can’t believe what you claimed. The deputy needed better training but instead is looking at charges against him
 
Kill or be killed

The deputy had no obligation to allow himself to be shot
There was no indication the airman had any intention to shoot the deputy, but we do know the deputy shot the airman before allowing him a chance to follow any instructions. Better training would have benefited this officer, he decided to make the worst possible choices

In that case he should not have been hold a gun
 
Up to 40% of Wrong Address LEO incursions end in situations like this
They are always too quick to shoot, has the question been asked: Are you training officers wrong in immediately resorting to deadly force? The airman likely did not raise his gun, and I'd be suspicious if they say he did.

He had to have noticed he was law enforcement first, and possibly suspected he was anyway.
 
We can assume that after the fact without knowing for sure

But he was certainly stupid to open the door with s gun in his hand
The cop is under an obligation to follow the law. He isn't exempt from it. He broke the law.
