This story is crazy

From my understanding he gets a knock at the door, he checks the peep hole sees nothing


Gets another knock at the door checks the peephole sees nothing but goes and gets his legal firearm

Cops kick in the door while he in his living still holding the gun they see the gun in his hands and let him have it

So these fools are responding to a call, but don't announce themselves when they are at the door??? SMH

Idk they may have been there to rob somebody like they did that girl in Louisville

 

[Tayboo]

And why are police kicking doors in for a disturbance call????

If he had started firing when the cops breached without announcing themselves he would have been within his rights but that would have given the cops even more of a reason to shoot.

This was a no-win situation. Mans was just trying to protect himself and that's 100% justifiable.

They released the body cam footage. Shot him as soon as he opened the door...

Bodycam footage shows Florida cop gun down airman in his own home without warning

Roger Fortson’s family said that the 23-year-old had armed himself with his own legal handgun in response to suspicious knocks at his door that turned out to be a sheriff’s deputy.

I've watch The Shield enough to guess (correctly) that this was not an accident.

I'm actually shocked that they didn't.

This would be a great time for America to honor one of their fallen soldiers

Remember how they treated the marine Daniel Penny who choked out a black man on the subway? They stood tall for him

Crump about to get his family paid. Just sad that he won't be able to reap any of it

Yeah, the got Crump the ambulance chaser.

RIP dude. I'm sure the media wanna pull up some dirt on him, but thankfully he did some time in the service. Young bro. I wish he had that fya in his waistline and chances are he'd still be here.

2A don't apply to us. Soon as cops see us with one, they gonna try and unload.
