When are we going to stop filling the Police Departments with these Call of Duty bros, just itching to shoot someone?

That deputy is in a lot of trouble, if justice is served. The kid wasn’t pointing the gun at him, nor showing intent to. Furthermore, how is the kid supposed to know if it’s a real law enforcement officer, and not a thief or criminal banging at his door? Except to answer his door with caution having his sidearm on him. Like trained military personnel would do.

The deputy should be fired what the hell he started shooting before he even told him why he was there he didn’t even let the person inside identify himself I’m sick if this
Isn’t this the same Sheriffs Office where the deputy claimed he was shot after an acorn fell on his car? Then proceeded to dump an entire mag into his patrol car.
Here we go again.
Just remember its same police dept that had the acorn shooting incident
Never open the door for Police if you didn't call them!

The cop just kept shooting! How could he have possibly presumed fear, especially after the first shot.
Was the police officer even at the correct apartment? It was a domestic disturbance call. The Airman was home alone.
What they shoot him for?

This is absolutely heartbreaking for this young man and his family. There is no ok reason this officer can come up with to justify the instantaneous and blatant blasting of this now deceased human being. God help this country. 😔
This is seriously the acorn guy?
It's Florida the deputies who did this won't suffer any significant consequences. Not w/Mr Go -Go Boots in office.
WHAT WAS THE DEPUTIES NAME??!!!
That same incident happened in farmington nm, tge police responded to the wrong house, and pounded on the door. The home owner opened the door with his firearm and the cops assassinated him at his doorway. The farmington police department was found innocent and nobody was charged. Cops get away with this, all too often.

Watching the raw uncut unedited body cam footage you can hear him say "Why the police here" so he knew it was a cop at the door why would you answer with a gun?
He said sheriff's office and he opened the door with a gun.....

He has the right to walk around with a gun in his hand in his own home, officer didn't take a second to realize the gun was pointed at the ground or the fact the kid didn't shoot through the door, just another second of critical thinking and this could have been avoided. This is in no way justified. The cowards the guy who sees this and thinks it's okay for law enforcement to do as the want.

@@jjdelany8130 If he believed a criminal was trying to get him to open the door...he could've kept the door locked and called 911 to verify if police were actually at his door. If you believe a criminal is outside your door screaming "police, open up", the last thing you should do is open the door and confront said individual. He was safe inside his apartment. He didn't have to open the door. Anyone with common sense understands this. The Airman made a stupid mistake with tragic consequences.

It is not a wise decision to open your door for the police officer with a gun in your hand. The officer knocked and loudly announced himself.
Answering the door with a gun? Domestic dispute? Sucks but not the cops fault.

Why didn't the officer announce himself when asked who is it at the door. The officer steps back and hides and only after that he starts to announce himself. Well about that time the airman has retrieved his gun for self-defence. Also the officer didn't give the airman any time to react and drop his gun to tell him his side. The officer murdered him quickly.
