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.
He probably kept getting fired for murdering Black people. Terribly inconvenient, you know.
