US police kill Black soldier after storming ‘wrong flat’
Roger Fortson, a 23-year-old Black soldier, was killed by the US police after an officer stormed his flat in Florida state.
His family’s lawyer says law enforcement went to the wrong apartment and shot at Fortson before telling him to drop his gun, which was pointed to the floor.

I also don't blame inanimate objects, I blame irresponsible, stupid, and evil people. Inanimate objects don't do anything without a person's interference. I do however believe there should be better laws against giving guns to just anyone. I, as a woman feel much safer with a gun/ranged weapon than any other weapon. I could easily be overpowered trying to use anything that requires me to be close to my attacker. Most times just showing the would be attacker that u have a gun is enough to stop any attempt. You would really only need to pull the trigger in dire situation. Unfortunately many people don't know what a dire/life and death situation really is.

Another view : you hear police announcing themselves and you open the door with a gun in hand. Knowing how trigger happy some cops are it is not exactly very clever thing to do.
UNBELIEVABLE. It seems that the police don't get that aggression is a means to an end, not an end in itself!. The end is justice.
The thing I love about the American media outlets is that whenever a black person commits a crime they don't refer to them as,, black male/female" but when a black person is a victim of a crime, the media never forgets about these labels.
Never open the door to the police. Poor man had so much to live for.
