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.
Two right wing symbols involved: military and police. Anything can happen here.
Sure but a black man was shot in Florida so I’m not holding out any hope here especially in that racist ass state that let a guy get away with killing a black kid over some skittles.
@stoly @inclementimmigrant Yeah, but he was a _black_ airman, so sure, the deputy got fired, but I’m not holding my breath that he won’t just be hired by another force nearby and the whole thing swept away.
I’m certain he gets hired elsewhere if there are no charges.
Dude even with charges, he might just have to go to a different state at most. But Florida’s pretty big he can probably just go to the other side of the state.
