The Airman answered the door with the weapon he legally owned pointed down and never raised it at the officer. The officer told him step back then discharged about 6 rounds into the Airman. The officer Never told the Airman put the weapon down or asked questions before he opened fire on the Airman. I hope that justice is served and may the Airman R.I.P. 🕊️

Why did it take more than one aggressive knock, before he identified himself as a deputy sheriff? Pay this family, liars. It won’t bring him back, but it’ll help him rest in peace. Blessings to the family.🙏🏾
I see a few things on both sides. I see the officer identify himself 3 times. But standing over to the side, the Airman inside cannot see it is really a police officer. It could have been anyone saying they were police, and coming to rob him or something. The airman, while he did have a gun in his hand, AT NO TIME was it ever raised or pointed at the officer. Nor did the Airman make any aggressive move towards the officer. I can understand seeing a gun and being alarmed, but a drop your weapon would have been enough . Viewing the video bit by bit, when the officer told him to step out BOTH of his hands were at his side. He only raised a hand, and it was not the hand with the gun, to protect himself from the bullets coming at him. It was a defensive move. How did they have the wrong apartment. The woman told the officer 1401... he was at 1401. Did that woman give him the wrong apartment number? I think the officer jumped the gun, literally. There was no aggression on the part of the Airman, whatsoever. The officer was the only one showing aggression. I want to thank this Airman for his service to this country, and pray for him and his family. They must be heart broken. I would have said maybe the officer should have waited for more police before he went up there, but then that would have probably triggered more adrenaline and more shots at the Airman. I think this officer needs to be held accountable.

Those deputies went to his house and murdered him in cold blood. There was no questions. No time for him to secure his weapon for the deputy. The deputy saw the gun and immediately fired on this military officer. They didn't even know where to go to find this disturbance in progress. There is no musical doors and go after who opens first. These law enforcement deputy sheriff's was completely inappropriate in their actions and it's clear on the bodycam footage. How do they explain this?
So so disgusting, so sad. All she has to hold on to is a photograph taken by the same country who took him away from his family. My condolences to the families who lost their beloved son. Rest in Paradise, Mr. Roger Fortson. 😢😢😢❤❤❤ Salute his name! Say it loud!

I would protect that child if it was justified but it's not
How many times does this have to happen? Tell me? The Palm Bay Police, namely "Steve Shytle, PBPD" illegally broke in to a home in 2016. A home the family owned since 1978! Steve Shytle physically stole everything from the home, a free for all for him, he stole cash, cell phone, jewelry, computer, art work, and expensive momentos, yet no record or inventory exist. A 3bed/2bath/2 garage fully finished home was completely empties by Steve Shytle, PBPD. There were witnesses, Attorney Bryn Brito and her assistant and others witnessed the crime. When police commit crimes, no FBI, no lawyers, no Department of Justice, no government agency create justice. If in 2016 the illegal break-in was administered justice, and corruption in Florida was stopped, then this young man would be alive. So do we wait until the next person's life is ended to say how sad we are, how we will pray for them? They are DEAD!! They will not see next year, a new car, a trip to Europe, a promotion, or their sons and daughters attend high school for the first time. They are DEAD!! However, the cop will have to stay home, eating pizza, watching Netflix, all the while depositing his paychecks in the bank with a smirk on his face.

It's not a perfect world no matter how bad you want it to be. Cops are just people. People make mistakes all the time, even when they're trying not to and so to answer your question; an indefinite amount of times.

This only happens In Florida but Oregon and Washington we have the defund the police which has been a good thing cause if they try killing you, they will be lock up and also start cutting law enforcement salaries cut on them.

I see videos of robberies, attacks, car jackings and police chases every single day on youtube and the common denominator is overwhelming. Every single one of them says "what did I do, I dint do anything" every single one.. All these people tired of this country, but no one wants to leave. You'd think all these people would be warning the millions of migrants trying to come here. ⚠️ ⚠️
Sorry for this family loss. Why this still happening to black men that serve in the military- come home and get killed by police? Why. When is this type of behavior towards black peoples going to stop?? Pray go out to this family 🙏

I wanna know why the cop knocked on the door the first time and walked away with out announcing himself. Come back to the door with his gun already out and knocked a 2nd time. Then announce himself. Why not announce yourself the first damn time? Playing ding ding ditch is dangerous

The disturbance was two weeks prior and the caller decided to report it two weeks later and she the Karen, didn’t know which apartment the noise was coming from. Suspicious AF!
No one was covering up the peephole. The police officer stood to the side of the doorway. It was intentional as he didn't want to be seen. The question is what is protocol? He didn't force his way into the apartment either. This attorney needs to report the facts not what a 3rd party who wasn't even there said, especially if it's not true.
Good Morning? In another country fighting for what?? We as a people are really lost. 400 years of this shit!! And we keep going through this!
Sick to my stomach about hearing this devastating news My condolences n prayers goes out to his Mother and the rest of the family 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😢😢

Some woman called about a disturbance. She admitted she wasn't sure which apartment it was coming from but she gave the police his apartment number. Anyway, it was dumb lady who called the police and got him killed.
This mom need to be strong and get through this and get her money first and foremost. Great loss to the community and he family need to get they money and justice!
There has been many of these types of tragedies in the past couple years. First and foremost make sure your info is correct. A domestic disturbance call is not the same as call for active 'criminal' alert. Cops are trained for situational awareness and being vigilant and calm not panicky. Just imagine a child opening the door with a toy gun in hand.
This evil is really getting disgusting . Please accept my sincere condolences.
Wake up! FIGHT BACK!
This is so very hard to watch and so frustrating! A family has been put thru so much and younger siblings may have a hard time believing in the police department! I feel the officer was too far over to the side for the young man to see who was at the door after knocking. If you are afraid as a deputy, please don’t take the job or wait for sheriff back up! Airman Fortson finger was not on the trigger and gun was down. It’s just SAD and Justice need to be SERVED.
Why did this cop shoot him then told him to drop the gun why didn't he wait for back up something isn't right with this the airforce need to look into this
FBI needs to investigate this case.

Such a sad story. I am sorry for the family. This should not have happen.
The deputy aggressively knocked on the door, then stepped back away from the door, which meant, when my brother-in-arms looked through the door, he saw no one. It's easy for him to think these are home invaders, at worst or kids playing pranks, at best. Why knock on the door and step back out of view? If this deputy was so afraid, why didn't he wait for backup? Plus, why lie in the report.
RIP Thank You For Your Service ❤️ May Justice Be Serve For This Young Man
