Atlanta airman shot, killed by Florida deputies | What we know
The family of an Atlanta Air Force airman killed by sheriff's deputies in Florida gathered for an emotional conference on Thursday in an attempt to reframe his life and legacy.
Senior Airman Roger Fortson, a 23-year-old U.S. service member, was fatally shot on May 3 after the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office claimed a deputy responding to a call about a disturbance in progress "reacted in self-defense after he encountered a 23-year-old man armed with a gun."

There is no statement as to why the police were at the door. There is no statement that the victim committed any crime. It is not illegal to have your gun in you hand when you open YOUR home door. There is likely more to this story. The officer's camera should tell the tale. If the body cam tape is not available, we have a problem! No reason to delay the release of the body cam tape and possibly cause the PD to lose credibility. Due to the circumstances, the tapes must be reviewed.

To be serious, watch badge, cam videos and watch all of them.The ones where the cops are wrong.The ones where the cops are right and in this situation this cop was completely justified. Police are literally trained to respond with deadly force if a gun is being threatened or shown to them. This is not a John Wick movie and police officers.Have no idea what you're gonna do with that gun.All they know is that it is their responsibility to protect themselves and the public.And that means shooting a person with the gun whether you like it or not.

Ben Crump specializes in civil rights and catastrophic personal injury cases such as wrongful death lawsuits. Obviously, there are quite a few wrongful death situations where Black people are being killed and their civil rights are violated. Since Black folks make up a small percentage of the population, you wouldn't expect dozens of Black lawyers with Crump's background. In your mind, if there were dozens of lawyers like Crump, then you people would be saying "golly gee...where did all of these Black lawyers come from"!

The photo is inconclusive, but if the officer told him to drop it and he hesitated even for a split second, cops aren't gonna mess around. Pure speculation on my part, but it looks like his hand is raised in response to an order to drop the gun and police know he can raise his weapon in an instant. If police are at the door, don't open with a gun in your hand. If you think it's a criminal posing as police, don't open the door.

First rule of being a gun owner when answering the door,for the police..have that firearm holstered or sitting down.
Will somebody explain to me this is live video where you see justification for murder
This is not the whole video and is shown in reverse. The second knock in the video was actually the first. The sheriff knocks, hides first and then did not say anything for 31 seconds. Airman 16 seconds after the first knock yells "Who is it" Sherriff says nothing for an additional 15 seconds. Then the second knock comes with announcement. He did not announce himself with the first knock for 31 seconds and then didnt answer when the Airman asked who it was. What would any reasonable person think if you hear a bang at the door. Look and see noone, ask who is it with no response for a whole 31 seconds? The girlfriend confirms after he said who is it with no view and no response he grabbed his gun. The girlfriend heard the Airman ask who is it over the facetime call, the body cam picked up him saying it so why did the Officer not say anything?

Sad but what a dumb move to bring a loaded gun to the door when cops are knocking, and they clearly yelled Sheriff's office...this is the world we live in and that was a dumb move on the airman and he paid for it
This is happening WAY too often lately. They raided a young mother's house recently and threw a flash-bang at her baby that was on a ventilator because they were too incompetent to make sure they had the right address. They also arrested a man in Ohio that got his stolen car back and he was arrested for driving his own car.

Listen.. this is terrible. I too answer my door armed. I also don't just open it. I look through to see who is there. Sis he have a peep hole or door cam? This could have been avoided by the airman. That said.. cop should be prosecuted and this should not be covered by qualified immunity.
I don't care what he was called there for. He shoots the guy before saying a single word. Even if he yelled he was police. People might not hear it. Being a police officer in America you have to know people might answer a loud suspicious knock with a gun as is their right. As the police you HAVE to give orders for the gun to be dropped before you can just open fire! Being police you take the risk of something bad could happen, but that doesn't give you the right to open fire the second you see a gun. I think the officer should go to jail! This keeps happening to Americans answering their doors at suspicious times with cops. And it is going to continue to happen with police not getting punished for this type of action!
They both need to go to jail if she did not call and she did not no who did the yelling she should had mind her own business and why is he hideing he must be crazy in the head and had his gun pointed already they both need to go to jail for real.

He was murdered. He was playing video games. He had head phones on. my son ...is the same age.. I ask you.. were is the warrant... I am scared of our current law enforcement. .. they are bullies. . Terrible people.. . Quick to react.. did they realize what they did? They killed a young man devoted to his country.. a service man.. I just want to say to his mom and dad.. I don't understand...sue..sue .
If you know law enforcement is at the door, why bring a firearm to the door when you open it ?

Because it's your RIGHT, because sometimes people try to impersonate the police, because he just woke up, because it's not a great place to live, pick one.
What happened is unconscionable. Who gives a frick if the young soldier had a weapon? That was his RIGHT. DE-ESCALATION is the appropriate pathway, not death. I lived off of Racetrack for years, due to MY husband being in AF special ops. At the time, I was alone a great deal due to tdy's. The whole area was rather dodgy. I wouldn't open my door to anyone after dark, and I always had my husband's .45 with me in the townhouse. Does that mean I should have been shot? Of course not. How ludicrous things have become.

Also, the authoritarians of CensorTube are heavily censoring the people’s speech right now on this video. I’ve had about a dozen comments censored.
Remember this is the same police department that shot up his car because of an acorn falling

I replied to you and my voice was censored.
Why did the cop show up with so much aggression for an ALLEGED domestic disturbance in the first place!!!
why did she try to downplay the call the cop went to? he was going to a domestic call, not just a disturbance
Wait and possibly die. Terrible situation, horrible stuff.
RIP AIRMAN 🙏

Why should this Attorney NOT represent this family? What do YOU have against a family obtaining credible legal representation in a case such as this?

It's not illegal to open the door with a gun. It also could've saved a life to ask for clarification, call 911 to confirm, and announce you have a gun before opening the door. But Americans are too prideful and individualistic to do such stuff.
He feared for his life.... age old story
The Karen and the cop murdered that young man.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💔
Execution by police.
0:10 lmao she almost said domestic...? What was the disturbance call for?
We need to knows why law enforcement is at the door. Do we agree if someone inside called, and was being abused, the person answering the door is putting himself in danger by holding a gun?
Why answer the door with a gun in your hand?

Gun in hand, not in holster. Cop's mindset is responding to domestic violence call not a noise complaint. If you are delivering pizza, the guy opens the door with a gun in his hand versus a gun in a holster? What is your reaction? fight or flight or freeze? You don't answer the door with a gun in your hand unless you are going to use it. If you want to scare someone with your gun, you should have an outside the waistband holster. Cops do not walk around with a gun in their hand, it is usually holstered. You can legally buy a gun, but you also need education. It is unfortunate, but hopefully, people learn from this Airman.
Law enforcement arrived, broad daylight, knocked and identified themselves, and he answered the door with a gun in his HAND!? Are these true facts?

Yes. Ppl lie to rob you. He couldn't see them in peep hole and some Karen called about a possible argument. Literally no reason for cops to be there and even think anyone was aggressive. He overreacted and killed him.

I’m not saying they should have been there, all I’m saying is go put yourself in that situation every day and see what you do.

No sympathy!! If it was a domestic vIolence csll , he had a gun in his hand, what is the officer supposed to do? Quit being violent and you won't find yourself in those situations.
That cop is in big trouble. Dropping someone in their own home is hard to explain away. Violently banging on someone door and yelling is no way to treat a tax paying citizen. Exigent circumstance with zero supporting evidence will be tough. The lesson, do not open your door it maybe your last thing you ever do.
