The cops went from killing you during traffic stops to killing you at your house smh
They hate Black men.
@@Attorney.42 you mean black people??? White people do it all the time it's called gun rights and protecting your home I have a video of a white guy came to the door with a rifle the cop on scene didn't shoot him 6 times
@@Attorney.42unless you are a drunk white woman
@@Attorney.42 What law says that? Do home invasions no longer exist? Did the 2a and the rights of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves inside their own homes suddenly disappear? Are we a true police state now?
@@Attorney.42 this my property, people shouldn’t come to the wrong apartment with a gun
The lady who called and showed him the apartment should face some charges also
She told the officer it was the fourth floor multiple times, you can see in the bodycam footage that he exited on the third floor and stayed on it. She even told him before he entered the elevator because he asked and she said yes it's the fourth floor.
@@Meh71016 four is a very high number. cops will say that justifies the killing because in cop training they do not teach numbers.

Smh. I don’t know how anybody could have the opinion in this original comment unless they are someone who does not have the ability to think more than one step ahead. Based on this premise, I would never call the police if I thought a woman was getting her skull beat in. if I see men committing a home invasion, I won’t call the police there either. Because I always could be wrong. Maybe the men were just playing around when they acted like they kick in the door, and they were just delivering guns that the homeowner had actually bought from them. Or maybe they held something else it look like a gun. I mean, how can any adult literally have this type of thought process. I’m not even trying to be nasty, I really don’t get it.
He raised his hand like saying stop. How is that aggressive?
The offender pulled a gun on the deputy, dummy.
Period
Exactly
Why is everyone trying to justify this? This monster mowed down a young service member in his apartment without just cause. If I have a knife in my hand from making dinner when I answer am I going to get half a magazine unloaded on me too? It’s ridiculous.
I am pro police and i agree. A thorough and open investigation to the facts should be done by an independent police organization.
You should look into a case from San Jose, Ca around 2007. A Cop walked into a wrong home, discovering a Vietnamese woman prepping food in her kitchen. She challenged his presence in her home, again, while at the counter cutting vegetables with a plastic knife. Officer Blue unloaded on her fearing for his life and San Jose PD basically told the husband you need to drop your lawsuit against us before well pay. As soon as they settled the husband and two grade school daughters left the Bay. I was doing home healthcare at the time servicing the asian community and would get to hear all of the community chatter.
Yeah but the victim is African American and it's Florida so like it's very ....nevermind the cop was in the wrong u made a great point aronyeip.
@@rondodson5736 the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (top state agency) IS conducting the investigation. Okaloosa SO has relinquished this investigation to them.
@@randalllakeworth3134 wrong, being black is why there's even an investigation. Look at the Escambia county cop that went down to ft Walton bch got drunk at Red Rose and shot and killed a white guy after leaving the bar.. Okaloosa county swept it under the rug
The soldier did not violate the law or the Constitution! The soldier was safe and secure in his own castle until he was shot dead 6 times by the enemy!
The gun might as well have been an apple. (The cops going down for murder!)

He won’t go down for anything. Even if the government tries to hold him accountable (which they won’t) a jury of bootlickers won’t convict him.
@@rogueamerican20 Patriots want to know the officer's name!
Unfortunately, the deputy was legitimately responding to a domestic violence call and was duty-bound to investigate the situation. In the course of this investigation he was presented with the subject of the investigation who was holding a weapon. If the Airman hadn’t been standing in front of him with a gun the there’s a nearly 100% chance that this would have been a non-event. The Airman made a really poor choice and here we are.
@@mikeedwards2537 you saying “duty bound,” automatically renders your comment dumb. The cops have no duty to act. Read a book.
Our safety doesn't matter but the cops safety matters.
White cops safety matters. Correction. They don’t care about cops. Just white ones
Ain't that the truth.
@@lionelwells5618this should put everybody on notice, you are not even safe in our own homes anymore...they just don't give a Damn!!!
@@madmaximilian5783why a swer the door with a gun when you know there is a cop outside
@@jamesdouthat3999don’t know if you know anything called the 2nd amendment but do research on it before you ignorantly comment. He also had the gun pointed down. In thousands of other videos when you see cops yelling at a suspect to drop the gun and they have it pointed down they don’t shoot. He didn’t even give him a chance to drop it.
He opened the door with a gun because here lately the bad guys are knocking on the doors saying they are police and kicking in doors and robbing people I bet he looked through the peep hole and didn’t see any one standing there! So for the one guy saying he didn’t know why he answered the door with a gun haven’t been paying attention to the criminals or selective memory loss!!
💯
Facts!
You know the sad part is he was an Active Duty soldier and wasn’t deleted by ISIS but by American law enforcement!! As an Army veteran I wouldn’t want to be deleted by folks I pledge to protect.
Exactly 💯
Yes, as the policeman knocks he then in my opinion steps out of the peephole range, as some of the crime videos I have seen, with the criminal pretending to be actual police.
Just because he announced himself doesn’t mean he was heard!
I believe the guy was heard on body cam as well as the released FB live call saying that the police were there.
And it doesn't mean you are who you say you are.Cop should have called for back up.There are to many young,testosterone filled,trigger happy,undertrained,high school graduates with only a GED and a 6 month participation certificate from the police academy that are on the force.Most are scared and timid and have no business on the streets with a fast car,gun,badge,and license with authority.
@@mikeedwards2537 Nice try chico 😋 👮♂️ 👢
@@mikeedwards2537 Cuz there is no such thing as a deaf person right? They would only see lights letting them know someone is at the door but not who is at the door.
@@NopeUghUghAbsolutelyNotexcept he wasn’t deaf. If he was, you’d have a point here. But he wasn’t and you don’t.
There’s no excuse put the cop in jail!!!
I still don't understand why he opened fired on him like that... this is not self defense but straight up murder because his gun was down and he has his out telling him don't shoot why he not in jail.
Incorrect. It takes a fraction of a second to point a gun at someone. Constitutional case has determined police respond to the threat of violence, not the violence itself.
I do believe it matters if the cop already had his weapon drawn but only a slight difference. Either way he was wrong and should have the consequences.
Exactly
Because the acorn brigade is going to cover their fellow cowards
@@5ean5ean22so if a citizen is open carrying in public and he legally allowed to do that can a cop open fire on him? Because he perceived some threat of violence that has not happened yet? What gets me is that the military has ROE but police don’t?
This cop straight up murder this guy. The video speaks for itself.
Didn't the deputy get off on the 3rd floor after being told by the lady the 4th floor and he confirmed? Or is it me, but I saw 3 on the elevator ~ please tell me if I'm wrong somebody
@@MsElaine63 Has there been an update on this?
Bringing in a cop to excuse another on paid leave with active duty soldier blood on his hands is mediocre. Recruitment is already unsustainable. 👮♂️mediocrity always has excuses.
They don’t care. Lol they never wanted the United States in the first place! Remember???? These are the same ones who wanted to preserve the confederacy?! What part of that you don’t understand!!!? Lol get it together. Lace your boots. Prepare.
That's exactly what this expert is doing, he's exonerating the cop through his interview!
Acorn cops, at it again.
It's The SAME EXACT agency
Yup. At it again. It’s sad
Well God didn't let a damn acorn drop in the other cities but keep rolling the dice and see how God gets even and he doesn't care about the age of people as you can see around the country but just keep on doing that stuff
Wasn't the slogan yrs ago- if you feel like a nut------?????
Kinda reminds me of the great Klingon Tribble Hunt

If the female officer who shit the kid eating cereal in he’s own home only got 10 years what you think this guy gonna get lol!! I mean 85% of the white ppl believe the cop did absolutely nothing wrong
I think you mean the other way around.
If you go back and listen to the original video you can here the airman yell who is it the police didn’t say anything
If this was a UPS driver making a delivery who shot the resident, he would already be charged and in jail.
It was voluntary manslaughter. The department of justice needs to get involved. The cop needs prison time.
It was a murder.
@@rgw1380rw Correct!!
He didn’t know! Because obviously when he looked out the peep hole, the murderer was standing out of view! That’s when Mr Fortson went to retrieve his weapon! Also keep in mind that he had already been a victim of a burglary! This so-called cop decided to simply fire first and fire multiple shots which means that he had no regard for Mr Fortson’s life anyway, especially when saw that he was black!!! He took the time to say “step back “! And then 6 rounds! When he could’ve said drop the gun!!! And should have noticed that Mr Fortsons gun was barrel down and finger off the trigger! Cop only saw a black man with a gun!!!
Cop making excuse for another cop
Exactly 💯 agree
Does not deserve airtime on our news
A better step is putting him in jail.... they don't care about the victim or his family... all that was irrelevant because he probably didn't know that he was the police officer... he just saw.a black men and just lost his mind... the question I have is why he shot him 6 times claiming self defense boy bye.
The after he has shot him 6x, have the nerve to scream stop moving where as he was already down, that was a cover up to make it seem like the young man was resisting, the dummies cop and his nosey Karen witness need to be thrown under the jail, whte women and their lies have been the reason so many innocent Blk men have lost their lives.
Shouldn't you be looking for your father?
@@ThisManTriggeredMe Shut up devil!
First degree murder.
Not even close
FACTS 💯
You graduated at the top of your class, didn't you?
😂🤡🤡
You have evidence the cop went their with the intent to kill this young man? Idiot.
The deputy knocked and then stepped away from the peep hole several times. He's the reason the airman went to get his gun. Roobers and killers have been known to say they are the police to get victims to open the door. That itchy trigger finger cop didn't even give a command to drop the weapon. And then after the airman feel and dropped the weapon the cop starts yell as if he still had the gun. I'm glad the young man was able to say on cam that he didn't have the weapon which was obvious on the video.
Liar. THERE WAS NO PEEP HOLE. Obviously you have zero professional training, knowledge, experience, or skills in this area, AND you have no idea what actually happened. And yet here you are, flapping your lips...
Thank You MSB. I agree, u do NOT know who is screaming at ur door, then staying out of sight > could be anyone trying to get u to open up for any reason.
That officer was in the wrong period he should never have been there from the start. That officer murdered this young man…..😮😮😮😮😮
Why did the lady in the parking area say she was unsure of the location but gave the sheriff apartment 1401?
These mayonnaise ppl man
Could be someone posing as police..it does happen.
I don't open the door for fake cops either.
Damn right it does
@@alanfalleur6550 I have opened the door for actual police with gun in hand. In these times caution is more than necessary.
Former cop huh...he said that the young man KNEW that the police was out there. We don't know that to be true. Can't help themselves, they're gonna defend each other even if it's slightly.
28+years n law enforcement myself and I have concluded that based off of my personal experiences that we must always assume any statements made from law enforcement to be a lie designed to confuse the truth until proven otherwise via credible evidence.....period. Remember, with law enforcement, it's us (police) against them (citizens/you). No thought necessary when it comes to pulling the trigger once the officer saw the color of his skin (Black) and the gun (pointed in a safe direction DOES NOT MATTER IF MINORITY) it was in his mind a good shoot. If Roger Fortson was white, trust me when I say that caution and care would have been the order of the day. In the end, by changing nothing, nothing changes. The capt is an idiots/plant on here making excuses for the police officer are a disgrace to policing. They have no clue to current policies and procedures, and both are from the past. Remember, even though you spent 30 yrs in law enforcement you only have 2 yrs experience responding to situations similar to this. Remember folks, a capt. is a pen pusher and nowhere near the front lines/street only showing up after the fact to judge actions he can't do.
Second Truth: So the point to yell drop your gun after you shoot is a police tactic used to confuse the truth. In a shooting, there will probably be witnesses and police are trained to yell verbal commands after a shooting because law enforcement knows that witnesses are notoriously bad and just plain not reliable at best. Law enforcement takes advantage of this known truth to bolster their false narrative. Law enforcement knows that half of the witnesses will say "I heard the officer say drop the gun before, and half will say I heard the officer say it afterward". A 50/50 chance is a win in the eyes of law enforcement and the courts. Remember, law enforcement contends that citizens are stupid especially Black People, rich or poor.
As my mother repeatedly said during her PD career, it's a legalized gang. That system is corrupted as it gets.
A biased comment and i think purely based on race, not actual facts. From what the public has been shown i think the officer was probably not justified, but would want to view all the evidence before forming an opinion. As a former officer i stood for the rights of all regardless of race.
Same happened to Ryan Whitaker (white male) few years ago in Phoenix. Answered door with weapon in hand, thinking it was pranksters, immediately shot dead by bad cops. They shouldn't play the race angle because bad cops victimize people of all races.
There was literally no officer safety issue except the one he created by the scary, unqualified officer. He saw a black man holding a weapon in a non-threatening manner and killed him. 2A does not apply to any black person when you police with racism and biases.
There was no disturbance in the victim's apartment; that's the first clue. The deputy hid his presence and voice initially. He then gave commands, from cover, after he shot the victim 6 tines. This captain is a clown and likely helped other officers commit the same reprehensible acts of violence. He wouldn't give this same critic if it was him or someone he actually cared about.
The officer left the leasing office while a phone call was being made and trusted a random woman in the parking lot who did not even know what floor the apartment was on. She told him it was on the 4th floor. The officer went to the 3rd floor. How did the officer know it was on the 3rd floor?? It was a set up!!
It's simple, Captain. It could've been anybody at the door claiming to be law enforcement. You just can't be too careful, these days. You see, there's TWO sides. Try looking at it from the dead man's side.
As a retired OIF Combat Vet my Condolences go to the Family❤❤❤😢😢😢
A cop covering up for the cops. He stepped away from the door after knocking. Miss me with this
Man just chill out and keep your cool and don't stop watching the news
Knock on my door, I’m telling you to get a warrant, until then, leave me alone.
LOL not funny but you are SO right !! It's getting scary to open your doors now damn. This Deputy took a great young man away .
This cop probably would have kicked down the door.
I'm not even saying that. I'm silent like a ghost when the police are blundering around. They can investigate outside in the easement to their hearts content.
When responding to a call, the police have the right to investigate without getting a warrant.After all if you are a victim of a crime would you want the police to wait until they could obtain a warrant ?
@rondodson5736 But the citizen also has the right to not answer the door and not speak to police. If the police decide to enter by physical force, that would be a highly questionable move if their own investigation comes up with basically nothing.
Desantis will probally give that cop a promotion,an award,and a pardon just like abbot did in texas.
Who the heck is "abbot"?
@@DortonFarbda gubner of texas
I would not expect our governor to do anything like that.
The man's hand is up in a non confrontational manner like just saying that's murder
I have some questions for commenting cop.
I realize they'll never be answered because it would contradict his preconceived narrative.
What kind of neighborhood is this apartment in, is it the type of neighborhood where you would answer a door with a gun in your hand.
Criminals NEVER 😢bang on a door and yell police, while hiding from view?
The apartment had no windows in the front for the airman to verify who was at the door.
It was a nosy Karen that went around listening to her neighbors doors. She couldn't figure out which apartment the commotion was coming from. She led the police to the wrong apartment. Obviously is wasn't a good neighborhood or this young man was being harassed by his Ken and Karen neighbors.
You almost there with your assessment
It’s even deeper
Was a modern day Emmitt Till lynching... That Karen needs to be held accountable as well
Appears my arse gun is clearly down
I love how the expert didn't acknowledge that to cop knocked without announcing himself then hid on the sid for over 30 seconds
You don't have to obstruct the view of the peep hole, all you have to do is step out of the line of sight. The officer clearly steps to the side of the peep hole. This tactic has been used many times to carry out home invasions , in fact I would be surprised if the officer didn't know that. If you get a knock at your door and can't see who it is , you grab your gun...The deputy should have stood in front of the door so he could be seen.
Standing in front of a door when announcing you are police could get an officer killed and is not protocol.
YOU ARE THE POLICE!!! WHY ARE YOU HIDING? IF that cop would of went to that AIRMAN door with respect, & NOT hiding on the side of the door so the AIRMAN could NOT see you through the peep hole! ANYONE can knock on your door & yell out POLICE & they could be ROBBERS! That cop didn't have enough information about an actual crime being committed before he knock on the AIRMAN door! JUST because "KAREN" told him two weeks ago she heard some voices. does NOT mean a CRIME had been committed! NOTHING "KAREN" told that cop on that seen was CRIMINAL, the cop just assume "KAREN" was telling the TRUTH. & the AIRMAN just arrived home 30min before the cop got there! SO "KAREN" & the other 'KAREN" who supposedly made the first phone call,, to "KREN"#1, SAID that " THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S GETTING OUT OF HAND"! SO KAREN #1 gave the cop a LIE that her and KAREN#2 made up! THEY waited until that AIRMAN return to his home & called the POLICE with a made up story to HARASS THEY BLACK NEIGHBOR!!! THE STORY IS MADE UP!!!!
Only racist lying Kareniquas say that.
For starters, THERE WAS NO PEEP HOLE, KARENIQUA.
Looks like a hitman carrying out a hit for The woman who called
It really does. Stranger things have happened
THE POLICE OFFICER SHOWED UP FOR ACTION! He didn't investigate if the information he received. was accurate. Or if the information was actually a crime. Once the officer arrived at the AIRMAN door he did NOT hear anything that would of COLLABORATED "KAREN" story! Actually the COP heard NOHING coming from the AIRMAN apartment, SO there for, his INVESTIGATION was over then, BECAUSE he didn't have the PROBABLE CAUSE to knock on the AIRMAN door! WHEN that officer went to the AIRMAN door he did NOT HEAR ANYTHING REMOTLY LIKE THE TWO 'KAREN'S" say was going on at his Apartment! SO he should of NEVER KNOCK ON HIS DOOR!
You drunk, or what?
Obviously you have zero professional training, knowledge, experience, or skills in this area.
Cops don't need "probable cause" to knock on someone's door, dummy.
Amd when an offender pulls a gun on a cop like that, no additional "investigation" is required before the cop legally defends himself.
The weapon was at his side; pointed downward... No reasonable person would have acted so irrationally. Either band guns or hire more compitant personnell. The manager indicated questionable information' third party source info; unsure which apt...
WOW. Knock, shout Police then move away from the view of the peep hole is police protocol? Who came up with that?
Police departments that have had officers shot at or shot when responding to a call.
Because he didn't hear the word police are he didn't see him through the peep hole. He never commanded that airman to drop his weapon until after he shot him. And they will do anything to protect one of their. This makes that a corrupt system. They shouldn't be protecting that officer.
Bingo

Frankly, I don't believe that the airman knew that it was a cop behind the door, because he could not see him through the peep hole, as the officer stayed off to the side of it. This is all based upon how the airman appeared to react when he saw the officer. It was surprise and made a gesture for the officer to wait or stop or don't shoot, I'm not a threat.
He never raised his gun at all and the look on his face was that of shock and surprise, not a look that says I'm going to shoot you.
He found out his enemy is not over seas

@@DortonFarbhe committed no crime. Not an offender
@heightsofsagarmatha Liar. Obviously you have zero professional training, knowledge, experience, or skills in this area. Attempted Murder is a crime.

@heightsofsagarmatha Self-defense is legal too, dummy.

Now we know why EVERY la cop that was investigated for excessive force was found to have done no wrong.. this guy!
Atatiana Jefferson was murdered in her own home....7 year old Aiyana Jones was murdered while sleeping....Breyanna Taylor was murdered in her own home while sleeping. Sickening.
I believe the young man was on the phone when the cop knocked. He may have heard the banging and loud talking of the cop, but it may have sounded like background noise to him. Either way, the cop opened fire because he saw a gun in the young man's hand, NOT because he was threatened. Cops always panic when a black man is in possession of a firearm; even if legally possessed.

Why the hell would u knock and move. U aint been sent to breach the building. Stand at the door.
Police are trained to not stand in front of the door when going to a residence to prevent ambushes, and gives police an advantage if a threat were to appear at the door.
They're afraid of people blasting the doors with a shotgun or rifle.
Exactly. To me the victim tried to explain himself in his own home. He raised his left hand and that's an indication of he tried to ask question or explain himself to the policeman. He had a gun in his right hand but the gun was lowered and pointed to the ground.
He just saw a black guy with a gun and began shooting, I see a black guy with a gun all the time and I don’t shoot immediately
I would they're the threat
@@TJsPLifestyle All or some which is it. The home Defender could say the same about white supremacy. Are black people in general the threat that you're talking about if so who's hurt you.

It was not objectively reasonable. And any reasonable person who's been in law enforcement knows this.
I hope this young man gets justice
When you shot every bullet has Consequences.
To me, it looked like the apartment number said 1407, not 1401. To me, the shooting was murder. Just plain murder!!!!
The officer asked the manager which apt? she said.. Im not sure. He asked other questions and then asked again.. which apt? She then told him the Airmans apt number. The management should be sued for negligence. Giving wrong info costed that mans life.
He knocked then MOVED OUT OF SIGHT!!!
If a fun scares you that much you can’t be an officer. There was no threat of violence from the young man. He’s in the state of Florida where there are very friendly laws for fire arms. He’s a responsible licensed owner in the comfort of his own home. There is no way to justify the officer K’lling this young service man because he opened the door with his G dun to his side. This all happened because of a nosy neighbor. You are not required by law to open your door for the police if they do not present a warrant.
Right
If someone yells sheriffs office and hides from the peephole I’m going to assume it’s someone trying to rob me.
Appeared my ass...we all saw the damn weapon pointing down.
So when the officer was moving side to side on each side of the door. That officer was ready to use his weapon.

The Airman did not point the gun at the officer so there was no imminent threat to that officer.

Senseless
Why isn’t anybody talking about “the lady” who sent the cop to THAT apartment ???
Also, it’s obvious, The deputy spoke extremely aggressively from the initial knock on the door.
The threat was obviously NOt Omminant.
It was only imminent because he saw a black man with a gun.
He did NOT even tell the kid to,“Put it down” !!!
IT DID NOT APPEAR ANYTHING IT IS WHAT IT IS ACCORDING TO THE FULL VIDEO CAMERA! THIS DEPUTY IS A MURDERER!
No Justice, No Peace! 🌬⛈️🌪

No visual observation of who was actually at the door was provided by the deputy to the occupant. These experts fail in recognizing that if someone yelled, "Johnnie Walker." is not a reason to unarmed yourself.

@@Meh71016 No, that's not all I can say. That's all I NEEDED to say.
Your original post in this thread is a lie, and you are the liar that told that lie.
@@Meh71016 Let's go ahead and out the lies you've been spamming over and over about your accusation that the deputy was at the "wrong floor".
As the deputy approached building #1 at ground level, you can see that there are four floors, and the roof overhangs the top floor.
The deputy entered the elevator, pushed the button for the 4th floor, and the 4th floor button illuminated, indicating that the command had been accepted.
When the elevator reached the 4th floor, the 4th floor button illumination went out, indicating that the elevator had reached the 4th floor.
When the deputy walked along the 4th floor exterior walkway, the overhanging roof atop the 4th floor was clearly visible.
And once the deputy reached apartment 1401, the very same apartment the Reporting Party had directed the deputy to, the unit number 1401 was clearly visible in the body cam video.
Apartment 1401 is on the 4th floor. Apartment 1401 isn't on the third floor. The apartment directly beneath 1401 is 1301. Beneath 1301 is 1201. And beneath 1201 is 1101. The first digit of the apartment number indicates which building it's in (building 1 in this case), the second digit indicates the floor (the 4th floor in this case), and the last two digits indicate the apartment sequence on that floor (01 in this case).
The deputy was on the correct floor, at the correct apartment. Ben Crump lied about EVERYTHING, but because you're blinded by your racism and bigotry, you fell for it, and then you came here to flap your lips and spread those lies.
@@DortonFarb you clearly haven't watched the bodycam footage, why don't you want to watch that?
Don't you dare blame this kid
How many times have we seen on the news of a robbery or home invasion of some knocking on a door saying they’re the police only to be robbed or attacked by that person or persons.
Not too often because if you saw video of it, the robbers would have probably seen the camera too and realized that wasn't a great choice of house. There was that one in Seattle though.
Either the 2nd amend says everyone can run around with a gun or it doesn't. If it does, like some like to say, then you should expect to see a gun and the mere sight of one should not be a death sentence.
Answering the door when you know its the cops, with a gun in your hand, isnt quite exactly cold blooded murder. They both made a bad choice. But answering the door with a gun in your hand was the worst one
Policy issue. If the suspect has a gun on a hand and it’s not pointed or in the process of being pointed, the policy needs to be established whether it’s justified to shoot.
So how many folks from the city have had armed robbers knock on door and claim to be police? I know of 4. It happens.
Lots of questions on both sides:
- if the young man could have seen the officer through peep, would he have had gun in hand?
- how did officer know that gun was real… our local officers just took a random in who had a BB gun in public. Shoot first ask questions later?
- why shoot without giving an order when the gun is pointed down, hand not raised, and finger not on trigger
- why answer door at all if unsure if it’s really the police and you can’t see them through peep (ie the police are moving out of line of sight from peep hole) to verify?
This was such a preventable tragedy.
The officer played knock & hide. That's why the Airmen got his gun. Who knocks then hides? Over & over?
Outright Murder !!! by the Gestapo !!!
Never open the door with a gun in your hand especially when the police knock on your door.
The police should of tell him to put the gun down first not after he shot him.. Airman had gun pointed down and the other hand up.
How about never open the door? Four words, should be easy to remember.
Cops backing cops when this was wrong address, firearm not pointed at him, and instantly opened fire at an innocent person.
Guy came to the door with a gun cause he was wondering why someone was banging on his door. He was on a phone call at the time and he or the person on the phone knew/heard the police where the ones there
I don't get it please show me videos, articles, etc where this keeps happening to other groups? I just saw a video today where a white man was shooting at the police with 2 guns and was not killed. The gun was legal. Why do they always assume a black man with a gun is a threat????
This police captain ignores fact that the shooter moved to the side to prevent being seen through the peephole.
That guy is awful. There was no danger
If you watched the video of an Indian guy who called his neighbor that there was a burglar in his house. The nice neighbor tries to help by calling the police. Police came over with no announcement and shot the guy as he was coming out of a fence with his gun. This story reminds me of that video. So sad
Separation is the only solution.
