A Floridasheriff on Friday fired a deputy who fatally shot a Black airman at his home while holding a handgun pointed to the ground.
Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden fired Deputy Eddie Duran, who fatally shot Senior Airman Roger Fortson on May 3 after responding to a domestic violence call and being directed to Fortson’s apartment.
Body camera video shows that when the deputy arrived outside Fortson’s door, he stood silently for 20 seconds outside and listened, but no voices inside were heard on his body camera.
That’s a lot of moving around. Wonder why the officer didn’t stay with jobs. Of course, I would leave Altus as quickly as I could, too, so can’t blame him for that one.
Now arrest him and see if he’s at fault. Was he drunk, done this multiple times, or should have been fired before. You know, the normal investigating stuff we should do with every case like this.
Apparently 3 synonyms for “police” still isn’t enough to filter out police violence articles. Adding “sheriff” to the list now. How do you not get tired of this is beyond me…
Fired with a years severance? Accolades? I’m not used there being any real repercussions for this shit, so I’m just expecting the other shoe to drop.
“Oh now he’s a consultant for America first” or whatever rittenhouses bullshit dealio is
At least this one didn’t get to resign first. Might reduce the number of departments where he can apply, though that number won’t be anything near zero.
