  • A funeral is planned to take place on Friday after an Atlanta airman was shot to death a Florida deputy earlier in May. The funeral is expected to take place at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta starting at 11 a.m.
    This comes just a day after Civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump and the family revealed new details relating to the incident that left US Airman Roger Fortson dead.
    Some of those details include Crump highlighting discrepancies in the sheriff's office narrative about the disturbance at Fortson's apartment, along with Body-camera audio showing the woman who called the deputy unsure where the disturbance was coming from.

      With all due respect I'm sure your daughter isn't a Black male down south in America. Unfortunately, for Black people America in it's current state isn't really worth protecting. Too much innocent African blood on it's hands and next to no accountability for it.

      I know. I know. There has been blinders on. Unfortunately, too often major change comes with just that, major change. That can involve great loss. Great hardship. Getting out of comfort zones. So many people are not willing to do this. So nothing ever truly changes. BUT, we can never lose hope. We can never give up or give in. Never. No matter how bad it looks. We are here for a reason. And we have to push through this messy life. Day by day.

      This young man served his country, his family, his community..... only to be taken out by a sorrily-trained, so-called cop in a tragic case of the wrong apartment.😱😔This was totally PREVENTABLE.

    • @soso8824
      @soso8824 17 дней назад +2

      This was totally PREVENTABLE. The cops went to the wrong apartment...😱 totally PREVENTABLE.😔
      This young man served his country, his family and his community. And now he's gone because a police dispatcher got the apartment number wrong and another police officer got anxious and over-reacted. And their motto is 'To Serve and Protect '. That's a joke at this point.
      Justice in Jesus' mighty name 🙏🙏I cried as a watched this funeral.

    As a fellow veteran, I am deeply saddened and troubled to hear about the senseless killing of Senior Airman Roger Fortson by police in Florida. Airman Fortson bravely served our country, only to lose his life needlessly to police violence here at home. It fills me with grief to see yet another Black servicemember, who dedicated his life to our nation, die in this way.
    Incidents like this are a sobering reminder that even those who wear the uniform are not immune to the systemic racism and injustice that continues to plague policing in America. It shows how far we still have to go to root out bias and brutality in law enforcement, and to ensure that every person, regardless of the color of their skin, can expect fair treatment and due process.
    My heart goes out to Airman Fortson's family, friends and fellow Airmen as they cope with this devastating loss. I stand with them in mourning and in the continued call for meaningful reform, increased accountability, and justice. Senior Airman Fortson's service and sacrifice will not be forgotten. We must honor his memory by working to build a society where tragedies like this no longer occur, and where every person's life, dignity and humanity is equally valued and protected.

      America was built on the fictional narrative that Black lives, especially the lives of Black men are expendable. It's beyond me that any Black male would truly seek enlistment to defend it considering the blood on it's hands. It clearly isn't ours to protect. The brightest among Blacks wouldn't serve it and those who choose to are met with this type of ill will on account of it. China's surpassing the US for a reason.

      Smh....I really don't like using the word "hate" so I will say, I dislike hearing people say, "why does this keep happening,why are our black American men and women continue to be murdered. It's simple, we were slaves if you know your history. Some black people are still not awoke to know we live in a racist country. The justice dept doesn't want to clean house of all the racist white supremacy in our society. There no needs to be an uprising and it needs to start by an executive order from the president. All law enforcement needs to be held accountable by monetary initiatives. In fact since this happened to a military personnel the US armed forces should be involved. That racist cop in Florida needs to be ostracized physically mentally and financially. Oh so where is the governor Ron Desantis? That racist piece of scum who wants to keep black Americans history from spreading throughout our society. Oh did you forget about the insurrection?? Did you forget what was stated? The racist white right wing groups said that more devastation would be had in these forms of debauchery.This was set by design. This government with the justice department and the FBI needs to clean house and fast. President Biden and past presidents are supposed to be commander and chief,yet they allow these KKK mentality murder black soldiers. We should be the protected CLASS.

    What a powerful and befitting Homegoing service for such a GREAT young man!!! First and foremost thank you for your service. I pray that justice will served for you and your family in this tragic and egregious act from someone who was to protect and serve. You set the example of resilience, showing others that you don’t have to be a product of where you’ve come from, but had the mindset of reaching higher heights. I applaud you for setting the tone for your siblings. I applaud your mom for such strength and determination to make sure your name and what you stood for will not be tarnished. Rest well Mr. Fortson, job well done!! 👏🕊️Family, I pray for your strength during this difficult time. May you find solace in knowing others share in your sorrow 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    He shot Roger six times for a supposed disturbance. Please make that sink in. I have seen white men get confronted by cops whilst armed and they deescalate. You can’t come to somebody’s door listen hear nothing no disturbance, knock , delay identification of yourself as a cop and then step to the side so the person can’t see then shoot them six times. They did not say it was a school shooting or a burglary or a rape or murder or any other assault. You responded for an apartment disturbance. How did you come prepared to shoot somebody? You see his gun you tell him to drop it. Then have the nerve to tell a kid shot six times stop moving … bunch of dummies . I went to a country where the cops don’t even have guns. They patrol on foot with a baton. They can do that because their society is not toxic. Cops should be restricted from using their weapon for certain responses. He saw a black kid open a door and shot him point blank period .

    • @mattpeters4700
      @mattpeters4700 14 дней назад

      That country's cops don't have guns because the citizens of that country do not have the right to bear arms. If it is Japan, I can tell you plenty of toxic issues exist. Also, the lack of guns of the police has cost lives many times.
