Black Airman Fatally Shot in Florida by Deputies

[IM2]

You've probably watched too many TV shows. Cops aren't bound by law to warn someone to drop a weapon. If they do warn someone, it's because they don't want to do a bunch of paperwork afterwards.

No, I don't. Police must tell you to drop your weapon and that wasn't done.

Joe Biden approves

Especially if they are White Right Wingers from the Hills Training Camps

There are plenty of videos of White guys getting killed by police like this, and those cops were not convicted.

Daniel Shaver is just one.

The per capita types avoid how blacks are shot at 3 times the rate of our population while whites are shot at less than 1/2 of their population.

Roger Fortson shooting

View attachment 944347

A Florida sheriff’s deputy announced himself as law enforcement just before fatally shooting a Black U.S. Air Force airman inside his apartment in the state’s Panhandle, according to body camera video shown to reporters Thursday.

Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden presented the video hours after the family of Senior Airman Roger Fortson and their attorneys held a news conference in which they disputed that the deputy acted in self-defense.

The video from the deputy’s body camera showed that Fortson answered his apartment door with what appears to be handgun pointed down toward the floor. The video shows the deputy banging on the door, stepping aside, seemingly out of view of the door. Twice he shouted: “Sheriff’s office!”

The door opened, and the deputy shouted, “Step back!” The deputy then fired off shots and shouted, “Drop the gun! Drop the gun! Do not move!” The deputy then called for paramedics on his radio.

The family of Roger Fortson remains adamant that the deputy had the wrong apartment, attorney Ben Crump says.

This has got to stop. There is no indication that Fortson pulled the gun on the officer, but that he was holding a gun. Just holding a gun in a state were they recently passed condtitutional carry. This is Florida, the cops will probably get away with this killing.

You do not hold a gun when talking to police. Very dumb thing to do.

You do if it's your house. Until they ask you to drop it. Which was not done until the man was shot 6 times.

That all depends on how tightly wound up the cop is that happens to knock on your door. But opening your door when the police are outside is the stupidest time to "I'm just exercising muh constitution right", no matter what color you are.

Never answer the door unless you're expecting someone. Just take a hard corner, watch, and wait. If it's the police and they don't have a warrant, they'll go away. If it's home invaders and they break through the door, then you have every right to shoot them.

People need to understand this. You're under no obligation to open the door and talk to them.

What does it look like?

It looks a lot like the cops (especially the supervisors) fucked up — and the airman died due to a tragic mistake.

A mistake is unintentional departure from right, he willfully put six slugs into that young man.

He was executing a warrant and the suspect (albeit a mistaken suspect) was armed with a deadly weapon.

I wonder if there is any chance of you ever catching up to reality?

They didn't have a warrant, it was a disturbance call.

Again, had he done that, the cop woud have busted down the door, shot him, then whites here would be telling us how he should have complied.

Totally relevant , Airman was not a Suspect and not at correct address
