    @kylecurryyt 10 дней назад +47

    After watching the video I see this as MURDER. The Airman followed the deputy’s order to step back, he did not raise his weapon. The deputy shot first and then said “drop the weapon”.
    Also, they were NOT at the correct door. The woman who called the police told the deputy she was not sure where the arguing was coming from. Then she gives an address. The deputy should have questioned her further to make sure he was even at the right door. She said she wasn’t sure what side the yelling came from. So how could she give an apartment number??? Obviously they were at the wrong door because the airman was alone and not in a yelling match with a woman who was screaming.
    Also, anyone can stand at your door and yell “Sheriff’s office!” Criminals can pretend to be law enforcement. The young man was within his rights to have a gun in his hand for protection. He did not point the gun at the deputy.
    This was MURDER and should be prosecuted as such. That Deputy needs to be fired and prosecuted immediately.

      However, the expectation of a citizen, especially one who was not engaged in criminal activity, to trust an unrecognizable voice CLAIMING to be police is unreasonable to say the least.

      @@justiniswebb9 you can't shoot someone in their own home for having a gun in their hand. It was at his side and pointed to the ground. The coward deputy just saw a gun and started blasting like some incompetent school boy on his first date. Tell the man to drop his gun and that you are police, give him a second to comply. It's people like you that expect so little of our officers that it lowers the standard to a laughable degree.

      "Sprinkle some crack on him and, let's go."👮🏻‍♂️👮🏼‍♂️
      Chappelle was talking about this decades ago. This almost happened to me. Fortunately, I don't have a gun nor, do I have a peep hole to cover. I spoke to the cop through my slightly opened window. It was night and I could barely see him. He kept asking me to open my door and, if some guy was living in my house, even though I told him that I had NO IDEA who he was talking about. Our house had been rented to "room renters", before we bought. Apparently, there was a warrant out for one of the erstwhile renters. But, my family had lived there for almost 8 FLIPPIN' YEARS! It was scary because my kids were really young, at the time.
      Solace to the family and justice for this slain Airman.😔💔🤲🏽

      The dude definitely opened the door, they didn't bust in. But, he had the gun pointed at the ground, not at them. The cop really didn't give him a chance.

    According to the bodycam video the police officer was standing to the side of the door when he opened it. Then the police officer sidestepped and without telling him to drop the weapon or anything he shot 6 tomes. Video dont lie. And also if you watch the whole video you hear the karen that weaponized the police and sent them to the apartment. She also needs to be held accountable period. No justice no peace .....
