Pretty disgusted with your coverage of this incident right now. Anyone can pound on your door and claim to be law enforcement. My dad and his buddies used to do that kind of thing to each other just to get a start out of each other. Simply answering the door with a firearm shouldn’t be an instant execution. A single command could have been nice. You know, give the boy a chance to comply 🤷‍♀️

@@yogosapphire true. Bad situation and if the airman would have killed the cop then more than likely he would be charged with murder. Can't win in a situation like this even though it was the cops fault as his body camera proves. Will settle but that does not bring the airman back. Tragic.

"Everyone" 😂 so why there is discussion everywhere.

You hear "Sheriffs offices" >proceeds to get up to grab the firearm and then go answer the door >Shocked when hes shot dead. What a moron.

@@pio7763 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!) - USMC (Semper Fidelis) SGT E-5 (5811)

I thought in the USA you guys could own guns? Why was he shot?

@@turtletruth son, you would do exactly the same as this cop.

Yeah

For protecting himself? thats crazy, dont answer the police with a gun. Crazy thats gotta be said.

Why? Dude answered the door with a gun. Could've looked through the peep hole and seen it was a cop but didn't

Exactly 💯 but will he is the big question

@@TheDkb427 You a dip shhtt?? The cop hid to the side of the wall so how can this soldier peep who's at the other end of the door? Look at the video. He hid and then shot right away and then he instructed to drop the gun LOL

He opened the door with a gun in his hand AFTER the sheriff announced himself.

@@faneulis266 having a gun in your hand faced down and arm down isn't illegal

@@TaylorWilliamsnaturalisttaylor Okay but the law can be completely thrown out the window here, the guy answered the door holding a gun in his hand fully well knowing an officer was at the door, it's natural selection at that point.

@@TaylorWilliamsnaturalisttaylor No , - it's just stupid.

@@faneulis266 his right to do so but let's be sensible cops are not known for being the most non aggressive in these types of situations even with the gun pointing down. I'm sure he knew this and by opening the door holding the gun he put his life in grave danger. Never trust anyone not to overreact in that situation especially a cop!

Aren’t they all?

He knew he was black

@@user-ke6uv5rs1p that part.

​@@user-ke6uv5rs1p son, he was holding a gun.

@@pio7763 - it is a tuff situation isn’t it ?

@@pio7763 Yeah, holding a gun while answering the door of your home is obviously illegal.

He didnt look like Kyle Rittenhouse that is why. He was not seen as lawful.

@@My2CentsYall something is very disturbing about how this young airman was set up! There was no domestic disturbance going on the young airman was alone in his own apartment.

​@@My2CentsYall🙄 As if there was anything similar to the two incidents. 🙄🙄🙄

@@My2CentsYall EXACTLY

@@My2CentsYall how many articles of blacks committing violent crimes after being arrested and released thousands of times would you like me to cite?

English

@@OregonCrowthey are commenting on this young man’s killing…yet you decide to “troll” their English. You got the gist of the comment and guess what…many people on KZfaq do not speak English. Why am i even trying to explain anything to a lifeless troll. How was that English???

It was murder but in Florida you can get away with it. MOST likely if this goes to trial the DA will do a trick and give the cop a 1st degree murder charge and nothing else. This was not 1st degree murder but murder in the second degree.

@@Trillary_Banks not reading all that.

Lmao sure there. Coming to the door with a gun after reported issues from others saying he beats his gf up. Moron

100% not murder, you can't answer a police at your door with a gun, what you gonna do with that? why do you need that if its a cop? You gonna "defend" yourself from their abuse? lets go over how many court cases thats worked out for people:

Absolutely 100 %

And every human including cops have a right to defend themselves

agree

Agree 💯

100

I was thinking the same thing.

How so? Announced sheriffs office. And guy answers door with gun in hand. You are aware he beat up his gf numerous times? Derp. 🤡

Right, he had a gun answering the door but the cop could have asked him to lower the gun. Drop the gun. Bad connection on this to listen to

You're another dirty bootlicker. Right to bear arms unless a scared pig sees you with one.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂​@@NotGuilty-nb2eg

@@NotGuilty-nb2eg And just how do you know that? And even if he did he didn't deserve to lose his life because of some 🐂💩. (🙈🙉🙊)

@@NotGuilty-nb2eg where's the proof He beat his Gf numerous times? Cops showed up to the wrong apartment unit.

Mrs H 🇬🇧 ...That's what they're trying to get the world to believe....

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. The two guess on the show are doing what they do GUESS. Both are simply out of shape and out of touch, so ya don't listen to anything they have to say if you want the truth.

Why is it the coward cop gets to make a mistake AKA murder, but the victim is held to a higher standard

Exactly!

Someone holding a firearm is a threat unless you know they are friendly duh.

@@TheDkb427 that is not true at all, a threat is immediate danger. There was no immediate danger by him just holding a gun, holding a firearm is not illegal or a threat, you have a legal right to bare arms. You can legally open your door with a gun in hand. And as he did it was legal. You point the weapon at someone that’s a threat. But from the video we can guarantee he never raised the fire arm. No where in this video was he a threat by simply opening the door to his OWN house, which you have castle doctrine. Your constitution says different.

@@TheDkb427Are you an Idiot?? Well Duuuuuuh of course you are 😂

Thank you for speaking that Truth

Again I’ll say: We all better start being a lot more vigilant about mainstream media’s spin on real life incidents…

😢

Don't make this solely on race

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡Hilarious take bro really said "oh hes relaxed so he opened the door with his gun on his side" except it wasn't it was in his hand. Yeah when Im not relaxed I normally just go straight to pointing it at people immediately with no regards if I have the legal right to use it.

Race has no relevance to the matter

@@TheDkb427 it does though. Some videos show there is a difference in how police interact with white offenders. If he was white he might still be alive. He didn't tell him to drop his gun before shooting because he went into defense mode and being black may have contributed. I understand the job is high risk but I wouldn't join the force if I knew I was anxious and prone to shooting before assessing the situation

Especially her voice

"hit" aka The truth. But please do answer the door when police are knocking with a firearm in your hand and see how well it goes for you.

*By Service members we only mean the ones that answer a police knock and announcement with a firearm In that case yes we dont care about our Serivce Members*

They never cared about black service members remember to get a certificate of freedom you had to risk or lose your life. Not so for white folks serving the military.

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! I saw that too. He heard aggressive banging and looked out not seeing anyone. He goes gets his gun to protect himself. The cop bangs again aggressively so maybe the guy looked out and saw him then opening the door thinking he has every right to protect himself and that he's not going to get shot. Why didn't the cop say don't shoot or drop it before he shot???!!!! 😱😡 The guy never raised the gun and he actually held his other hand up to basically say wait don't shoot! I was yelling at these idiots on the TV with their narrative. There was no indication of violence or a gun when he went to the room. It's not like he knew anyone had a weapon. He literally hid from the guy at first. He could have thought someone was pretending to be police and I've seen a lot of ring door cams where home invaders do that! This police officer needs to be charged for homicide. If not no one is safe. My husband always comes to our door armed. Thankfully we can see our through windows. This guy couldn't tell who was at his door. He has every right to protect himself!!!! Pissed me off!

Cop went to the wrong floor!!! It was stupidity not self defense, self defense applies to the poor Mr. Fortson who was not entitled to an explanation. Piss poor investigation skills and training if you scared get a job at church

This was self defense. I pray he doesn't do anytime.

​@@brendaleigh7834cool. You racist POS. Fck the dirty bootlickers. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@brendaleigh7834you sound just like the killer!

No, it wasn't. He came to the door with a gun. It's not like he was skipping down the street on his way to church. It would have ended the same way if he had been another race. You must have missed the gun.

It was his own house and he didn't aim the gun he was holding it to his side

it's sick...

Thank you, Julie Grant is despicable. She's trying hard to manipulate the narrative to convince viewers that police officer did nothing wrong.

Sorry you don't understand the law and how stupid it is to answer the police knocking on your door with a firearm in your hand. Atleast put it in a waist band nearby table anything but that.

Real talk,MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

Answering the door while holding a gun

​@brendaleigh7834 so what? You dirty bootlickers love cops hate the constitution. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Get a life copsucker😢😢😢😢😢

Botham door was open

huh

Yes she can be and testify to what she heard and what the victim said.

@@neffyg35 she going to be a key witness since she was able to determine the victims mood prior to the murder.

Testify? Key witness? Lmfao u really think this i going to court and charges are going to be made? These pigs have qualified immunity which means they can kill without getting in trouble. I highly doubt they even get suspended with pay or even gt fired

@@slothtime8991 i think you might be right.

Unless the military themselves get involved

It seems to me that they only hire cowards because every time they have to knock on a door have any kind of confrontation with somebody anytime they're corrupt behaviors brought into question their responses are always aggressive threatening intimidation and fear! you damn right they fear for their lives because they go around causing fear messing with people needlessly you should be afraid very afraid matter of fact you should just stay the f*** home officers.

@@JohnPeacekeeperwont happen

Exactly the murderer shot 6 times first then yelled drop the gun. I've seen videos of several white wild gun owners with a gun being threatening to officers but still were told to drop their gun and had the opportunity to drop it.

Very disgusting!!!

Justified.

Especially the people on the panel

This reminds me of the Issac Woodard incident.🙈🙉🙊
