- The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s office has released body camera footage from a shooting that killed U.S. Air Force Airman Roger Fortson inside his apartment. Sheriff Eric Aden said the deputy entered the correct apartment and announced himself, adding that Fortson acknowledged law enforcement was at the door and had a gun.
LiveNOW’s Andy Mac discussed the shooting with Civil Rights Attorney Benjamin Taylor, who spoke about Florida’s laws that allow homeowners to protect themselves and their homes with firearms and possible charges that could be brought against the officers. “When you’re inside your home, you have every right to protect yourself and feel safe,” the attorney said when discussing how police interact with the public when firearms are involved.

As a war veteran, 0331 Marine, we showed more restraint to insurgents than this cop did to a US Citizen.

👍🏿
😲! Unbelievable
Their ROE needs to be changed.
EXACTLY!!!
Why isn't the US AIR FORCE Filling charges against this cop. Why defend a country that your military branch don't fight for you.
So true
They may, that Airman is property of the US Government worth millions of dollars! 😢the time and money invested in these young men and women is so valuable and this Deputy Sheriff just like that took his life , the Airman was not a threat the Airman has his hand up in a self defense manor no weapon aimed at the Deputy 😢😢😢
Why are any Blacks helping this country when they don't give a damn about your very life???
Facts..military wasnt meant for blk people!!
You got that right
Yet another example of why you should never open your door for the police
Don't open the door with a gun in your hand! He announced that he was police.
If you don't open it, they'll shoot their way in.
My rule is, don’t open the door for ANYBODY unless you have invited the person.
NEVER
He hid and said he was police! I seen a video of two Spanish guys try to rob another, at his apartment saying they’re detectives…he see. Who they were with guns and started shooting through door at them, because they were kicking in the door.
Man was inside his house, gun was down, cop shot without warning. This is not self defence, it’s murder. Cop needs to go to jail.
I can't believe the toady news announcer said the cop shot him in self defence. What a scumbag. This wasn't self defence. This was some form of extra judicial killing. This was an arranged murder.
Answering a door with a gun makes no sense. If you think someone is trying to break in, why would you open the door for them? Wait with your gun and call the cops. At least the right person died. Idk why everyone is pissed.
Nobody with good intentions answers the door to cops with a firearm in their hand unless they don't want to live. Simple math. There is no other consequence that could have happened. What kind of warning was the cop supposed to give? Count to 3 or 10? Wait for him to point the gun up to them? Absolute nonsense!
Your Wrong... if you watched all the videos..
Most people speak before they are informed.
Multiple information from different people.. Builds a mind set to the Officer.
How the the Officer beat on the door.
How the individual reactions to that type of beating on the door.
Yells from side away from door commands.
Wrong apartment but given improper information.
Depending on where you live Depending on answering a door with a weapon.
Prison for life
He has a right to have a gun in his home
Correct he does, But never and i mean never answer the door for police with a firearm in your hand. Common sense should tell anyone that. They are called to a disturbance and have no clue what's gonna go down. There have been plenty and i mean plenty of police killings lately and have no clue if they are gonna be next. SO DONT ANSWER THE DOOR FOR POLICE WITH A DAMN GUN IN YOUR HAND.........Like fr wtf

@@MrLex87 he shouldn't have answered the door for the clown at all especially since he was at the wrong apartment 😕
@@quez4286 Exactly
@@MrLex87 An average citizen in their home has no idea who is beating on their door and probably can't hear what someone is yelling, but citizens do have the right to hold a firearm on their own property. he never acted aggressive or pointed it at anyone so yeah, WTF ?
Just because sombody knocks on your door and says "Police" dont mean they are.
Look through the peephole. This is not acceptable
The cop moved away from the door to the side against wall each time he banged on that door, did you not watch? You can't see the side of the walls from a peephole.
Absolutely, when I was a lot younger ( I’m 73 now ) anyway we had a friend that had a bad habit of banging on the door ( hard ) and saying, POLICE, OPEN UP . Strangely how many guests ran out the back door . OH them crazy younger days.
He has a peep hole to verify that
"Just because sombody knocks on your door and says "Police" dont mean they are." it don't mean they aren't either. With that being that case, do you think its a good idea to answer door with a gun in your hand?
That Karen MUST GO TO JAIL for providing false information.
Lesson of the day. If the cops show up at your door and you didn't call them, don't answer it.
A lot of domestic disputes don't end with someone in the house calling the police. It's usually someone else calling them with concerns.
@@chorlesteajones6794 that's fine, but this guy was at home alone, and there was no reason to initiate this interaction the way this cop did. If you watch the body cam footage he specifically moved to avoid being in view of the peep hole so the guy had no idea if the person beating on his door was actually a cop or just claiming to be so he'd open the door (and ostensibly they could rush in). Males are not invincible to attack, it happens. A lot, males are the victims of most violence so yeah, he's going to be ready if he doesn't know who it is because they're apparently very persistent and don't want him to see their face.
This was a call for a noise complaint with a hint of domestic violence --maybe--. This wasn't a lone cop, the only one brave enough to take down El Chapo in his home. But that's exactly how this cop approached it.
The most dangerous thing there was the cop. If he would have just calmly knocked on the door and shown who he was, this very likely would have all gone very differently. If the young man had just refused to open the door he'd probably still be alive. There was no exigent circumstance, there was no arrest warrant, there was no search warrant. This was a neighbor on neighbor complaint ginned up a little to make they could stick it to the neighbor they didn't like using the police (by claiming fears of domestic violence).
Instead he wanted to play action hero, and killed someone in the process. Who cares, just a 'civilian', right?
The cop hid after knocking so he didn't know who it was. The serviceman probably looked through the peephole and didn't see anyone so he got the gun and opened the door to check. And the coward murdered him.

Knock on my door I'm not opening til your supervisor arrives
The person who gave the WRONG ADDRESS should be held accountable as well.

You don't shoot and then say drop the gun.
Protecting his stupid self
The cop HAD to say that to get it on video . I’m surprised that the cop didn’t start screaming ( quit resisting, quit resisting ) . Basically something you hear on almost all arrested.
@@ricardofierro7041 I thought that also. The guy was on his face.
My point exactly! He shoot first then shouted, "Drop the gun!" Hell he had killed him by then.
I guess that would be his defense he was attacked immediately upon opening of the door, so he had no choice but to shoot!! After he fired the shoots, of course. Even tho his body cam told the story, his recollection is gonna be quite different.
He was on the phone FaceTime with his girlfriend so they went to the wrong apartment and he got killed for nothing.
Another KAREN getting someone killed disgusting
Right
Wtf, a karen didn’t get someone killed. That POS cop did!
These Karen's who start these situations should get charged too
Absolutely in agreement with you, but I’m a ‘Karin’! I wish the labeling of disgusting women who are absolute monsters themselves, had been labeled with an appropriate name instead, maybe from ancient mythology? I’m sure there are a few such monsters from which one could pick the perfect representative!!!
@@karinbarger9192being a karen by yappin in the comments
He never moved towards him not even a single step. He never raised the gun. The Deputy also hid from the pephole both times. The airmen had no way of knowing who it was until the door opened. There is absolutely no defense for the shooting.
If you support the second amendment the airman had every right to have a fire arm. If you support our country that's a service member that was just killed.
I agree, the police officer must have panicked and that's not someone we want behind a badge. This is sad.
Not defending the shooting, but did you miss the part where he yells "SHERIFF'S OFFICE!"
You don’t have the right to answer the door (with a loaded gun in your hand) knowing the police officer is knocking at your door. You’re just asking to be killed.
BTW, it doesn’t matter if the guy was in the military or not. Everyone has a gun in America and it’s the cause of the huge increase of gun related deaths.
@@Alexandria.Washington there was case law that was proven you can answer the door while armed. You're high off your rocker bud.
He didn’t hide from the peephole. It’s safe practice to not stand in front of a door when approaching someone who is unknown.
WTF!!! He shoots the man and then tells him to drop the gun as soon as he opens the door, Cold blooded killer Cop. Smh
Pretty typical cop
Right!@@dcmirk
As soon as he open the door he was already shooting him
YEP! And they are already trying to justify this, HELL NO!
If that was a citizen shooting the airman, the citizen would be charged.
It would be murder
💯
Not only was his gun at his side, the Deputy NEVER gave him any orders OR gave him the chance to drop his gun. This is a trigger happy Cop who has no business wearing a badge.
YOU DONT ANSWER THE FU&@!?$ DOOR WITH A GUN IN YOUR HAND! After the cop yelling “SHERIFFS OFFICE!” 2 times. How hard is it for you people to realize that. He could have even put it in his back pocket, this could have been avoided by NOT ANSWERING YOUR FU?!&$@ DOOR WITH A GUN IN YOUR HAND.

Definitely murder not a clean shoot 😢
And nothing will be done.
"How quickly the police shot him", should be the statement.
This looks like murder.
This was a domestic dispute call. This pos was beating up on his girl and neighbors herd him theaten to kill her and called police. Then he opens the door with a gun. This wasn't murder.

Cop killed a good young man who actually serves his country. The gun wasnt pointed at the cop and he was in his own home . This is dispicable .

A fake domestic disturbance call on someone you don't like who happens to be home alone. Crazy to not have that called out by anyone. Obviously way over the head of the local PD.
If, I were the DA, I wanna talk to the 911 caller!
Yes, it happened to me. "A concerned neighbor" called for a welfare check as my 6'3 35 year old son and his 12 year old daughter were dropping me off at my home after her birthday party. 3 minutes after they'd left the police knocked on my door to investigate "suspicious activity" with two dark SUVs at my home. Well, I own one and rode with my son that day. The officer recognized me from training and filed a complaint against the caller on behalf of me and the department. My son could've lost his life @ 10:30 that night, if he left 3 minutes later. I do live alone and now keep a watchful eye for who is watching me.
Indeed,but I KNOW FLORIDA DON'T CARE about that...sooooo true tho

Just because someone says "sheriff" or "police" etc, doesn't mean you shouldn't be armed when you open your door. There are ppl impersonating delivery drivers, police etc.
Also, why is the sheriff not standing in front of the door when he knocks? He knocks then stands to the side out of view of the peephole. Is that SOP?

And yelling sheriffs office and not standing where you can visibly be seen is not announcing yourself. Anyone can yell sheriffs office to trick you and then shoot you.

It is NOT ILLEGAL TO HOLD A GUN IN YOUR OWN HOME. And just because someone shouts "sheriff's deputy" doesn't mean they really are a cop, they could be trying to home invade you and rob or kill you
..and in this case the cop was definitely trying to kill him.
A police officer needs to de-escalate situations. The Airman opened the door in a non violent manner, his gun was down at his side, he was not shouting or moving fast and within two seconds that cop emptied his mag into him.
Yes.... The cop was banging on the door and hiding to the side. The airman only opened the door when he knocked, announced himself and stood in front of the door. How did he know who the hell was banging on his door
I’ll be sure to call you for legal advice should I find myself in this predicament.
@@bruceivey8494all cops stand to the side especially in a domestic abuse situation so it’s normal why complain about it
Holding a gun in the presence of LAW ENFORCEMENT is not a bright idea.
You're a fool
Murder is Murder and this cop is a murderer
The FACTS?! He was simply executed in his own home; end of story.
Everyone has the right to defend himself in his own home; he was inside his own home, and NOT pointing the gun at the deputy.
Not once did the deputy tell him to put the gun down, before pumping him full of lead.
These people see a gun and immediately piss themselves!
Not to mention, anyone could knock on your door and claim to be from the sheriff’s office and end up assaulting you. Wait a minute, Mr. Assailant, let me go grab my gun!
Having a gun isn't a death sentence
True. Maybe don't answer your door holding a gun if police are knocking though. Idk I mean cops get shot in these situations all the time. Fake 911 calls and then when the cop shows up they just shoot the officer. It's hard to tell, but I don't think anyone would've handled that much differently, if put in the same situation as the officer.
No but why would you meet a police officer with one in hand? Did you see how quickly the cop shot him? The fact that his gun was down for .1 seconds didn't make him harmless
It obviously is in Okaloosa County
It is when you are a young black man
It is in this situation, and rightfully so.
So obviously, the policeman did not hear arguing once he got there
He killed a American service man
US soldier
Military police can step in
Military police have jurisdiction on the base.Or installation only.
The GUN WAS not aimed at police!
This was NOT self-defense, the video proves it.
Something fishy with that lady targeting that guy !!!
This was my thoughts as well she should be investigated.
Nooooo!!! She clearly tells the officer 4th floor and if you see the floor he gets off is 3rd floor. He pushed number 3.
@@lainherownlane7771Exactly why I left Florida👉🏾IGNORANCE.
She gave the police the wrong address. That’s a terrible person
@@lainherownlane7771 he very clearly hit 4th floor @1:11, but i agree it appears the elevator stopped at 3 and he exited
I’ve never seen an apartment door without a peep hole. I wouldn’t feel comfortable opening my door.
The victim's door had a peephole. It's on top of the door knocker.
how in the world is a "disturbance" so quiet you don't actually hear anything from any apartment???
Just because someone knocks on the door and says "sheriff's office" doesn't mean that it's legit... Especially when he stood off to the side of the door where he couldn't be seen.
so if it isn't legit, that door is the best obstacle you have to buy time. Why open it?
So why open the door?
@@mizzamir_gaming I agree with this completely, but the fact that this guy (literally) trained to comply with authority, opened that door shouldn't mean a death sentence for him. That cop had six rounds in him before he hit the floor. That's crime of passion levels of overkill. That's not acceptable behavior from our police. I should not be more afraid of the police than I am the criminals.
When the sheriff he's hesitant at first to knock on the door, doesn't hear no disturbance. 1 try, knocks, stands on the side,( person inside might not have heard the 1st knock, comes to door doesn't see no sheriff)ok. Still sheriff outside hears no noise or disturbance. There's a gap of time in between And no identifying from the sheriff. 2nd try, sheriff knocks identifies himself, no one answer door. 3rd try, sheriff waiting identifies himself, door opens sheriff says step back ( so he sees the firearm in the airman's hand ( split sec 💥) airman down. Soooo where was the disturbance??? Was the airman talking loudly to his lady friend on FaceTime??? Still no physical disturbance altercation on said premises and the airman didn't have his gun pointed at the sheriff, or make any moves towards the sheriff!! Exactly where did the call come from?? And this apt manager sounded like she was unsure about where the disturbance came from.?? I think the sheriff could have identified himself more or at least waited for back up. But, I say it sounded pretty quiet while that sheriff was waiting for that door to open. I wanna hear the call that was made. Clearly there was a big, a very big foul up on communication,from the apt mngr(lady) of being unsure of where the actual disturbance was. His the airman's gun was pointed down citizen's! And wasn't making threats or gestures. I say don't defend our law enforcement but most definitely train them way2x better!!!!!! Sorry for your loss. Also if that sheriff is found to be in the wrong, so too shall he face the court system.!!
Don't de fund our law officers but train them better!!!! And another thing catch this the officer/sheriff tells the airman to drop his firearm after he drops him??? Airman had already complied.!!?? Getting the job of a law officer isn't just to look good or show off or abuse the laws that are supposed to protect 🤔 the American citizens and you too cop! If you don't have the right temperament, attitude for this job....stay away from it, back off/away far away. They give you a gun, put a team, organizations, union behind ya, but it's about the badge!! If you can't uphold it...bow out gracefully. You tried. I wanna exactly who the real bad 👎 guys are. Don't become one!. Peace.
one officer showing up banging on a door, hiding from the peep hole. then shooting the guy in his home immediately. that's murder folks
Do you not know how to capitalize letters?
And no, it's not murder. You're an toidi.
Wasnt too much hiding if he announced himself TWICE🤨🙄
He does say "did u call the police"...
Have you ever looked through a peep hole ? You can see everything…
He wasn't "hiding" from the peephole. Cops are trained to stand to the SIDE of the door so they don't get shot THROUGH the door.
This cop was STILL WRONG though. He should not have shot this young airman.
That lady who sent the address might be having some issues with this innocent guy to be killed, and that lady needs to go to jail.
He Wouldn't Give Her No Play Or Flirt With Her
Having a gun in your hand is not illegal!
It's a threat to a police officer.
This is a hillbilly police department that trains it's people to blast away first, sweep up the pieces afterward
Interesting how the cop shoots them yells "Drop the gun." Just to cover his ass in court and testify he yelled drop the gun. His ass is going to prison and it he should.
After he let off over 6 shots at point blank range.
He's not going to prison.
He's having a paid holidays, some mental health meetings a nice pay out and back to work before a pension kicks in.
There is no accountability if your poor in the US.
Look at any pervious cases.
He ain’t going nowhere. time and time again these police officers do what that do and get off with slap on the wrist. People are not even safe in their own homes.
My guess is they say he did nothing wrong but for officer safety will ask him to resign and give him medical retirement for PTSD for killing the man. The city will lose a civil lawsuit though. Obviously this department has a problem with use of force. Cops all over are calling this a justified shooting as citizens should not have guns anytime they have interactions with police. The chief as already said after the investigation that the citizens might be found not guilty. Public reactions will force them to do something. They are withholding the officers name for his safety while talking about the victims family and the officer needs prayers
realistically it looks like that because his training made him do it
don't you see how every cop has programmed phrases that come out during certain conditions?
The deputy was very aggressive and acted too hastily. He should have waited or taken more time and there could have been a different outcome. He wasn't in any danger whatsoever.
Let's face facts.This officer just saw a black man with a gun in his hands and didn't hesitate to shoot. This officer should go to jail from murder.
Along with the woman who sent them there.
When you keep talking about race... you make it a debate. It's an ugly one that's been going on for years and years. This was a bad cop , if he was white, would u say the same thing?...so again, it was a horrible cop that took the life of a US airmen for no dang reason. Sad world
@@harlanmcninchjr1927 Especially the cvnt who sent them there, she the antagonist.
The only thing they fear more then a black man is an acorn falling from great heights 💯
Fort Worth cop did same thing. He went to prison.
Never open the door to police.
Get a search warrant.
If the officer feels someone is in danger inside the apartment, a search warrant is not necessary.
@@brucesumner6993 Still, force them to force their way in.
@@riboflavinfolate3964right
Get a bullet proof screen door first. Then try your method.
@@brucesumner6993There was no noise or commotion. No disturbance. What you talking about?
This officer needs to be behind bars.. Along with the woman who got the wrong apartment. SICK
Wasn't the wrong apartment. She simply called the cops on him probably because he was being too loud: maybe from playing a videogame. Karen strikes again.
They love Karen
@@riboflavinfolate3964 dude coulda been hitting is girl. it doesnt really matter anymore though... this is not ideal.
another name for the list of murdered men.
@riboflavinfolate3964 This is why anti-karen laws need to be passed. They love to use the police as weapons. And the best part is they're usually not held accountable when the police kill their victims... Sending the police with the intent of causing harm should be the same as using any other weapon.
@@MN_Engineer It should be seen in the same light as swatting someone.
For all those who are saying “he should’ve nvr came to the door with a gun” I say I guess you fools nvr seen the videos when home invaders banged on people’s doors yelling “police officer!” And then tried to kick the door in or rush the person when the door was opened. So if you hear a knock on your door, hear someone yell “Police. Open the door!”, look out your peep hole and do not see an officer standing there, I’m assuming that you will open the door unarmed too. You’re lying if you say you will.
Dont open the door.
Call 911 and defend yourself once an intruder makes entry. Use common sense.
@@KP-zj3zjReally in the real world you need to arm yourself by the won’t the police get there your door would be kicked in
@@KP-zj3zjEveryone isn't a coward like you💯
@@KP-zj3zj It's never a good idea to open your door with gun in hand.
No goofy. If u look and see no one you call the police
.. anyone with common sense would do that
Ridiculous!!! Deputy is DEFINITELY criminally guilty!! This young man was literally asking who is it?! yet the deputy REFUSED to answer him, MORE THAN ONCE!!! CONTINUED to bang extremely hard on the door, like someone breaking in….or angry….THEN said sheriff’s department….why didn’t he wait for back up? WHY didn’t the sheriff’s ofc TRY to contact the person living there by phone first? (It can & has been done!) that female is also the reason the law went there so SHE should be held accountable too. ABSOLUTELY AVOIDABLE!!! Prayers to this young man’s entire family! THIS NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED PERIOD!!! Please God, give his family the strength they need to see this through! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I despise that Karen too, however, given the totality of the circumstances, the deputy should have known better and acknowledged there was nothing going on and the Karen had just exaggerated about it. He was acting like a proper coward over nothing.
DON'T OPEN THE DOOR WITH GUN IN HAND. HE ANNOUNCED IT WAS POLICE.
If the cop waited for backup the Airman would have been shot 6 additional times.
Most likely if he answered the door with the gun in his hand like he did.
@@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566why should he not be able to answer with a gun? if possessing a weapon inherently makes you a threat then you could argue anyone has the right to shoot a deputy since they're armed and approaching them.
Exactly.
True being Black.
@@clarencewatkins1634 Ya yo, wypepo are totally safe 🙄
This fellow veteran was not killed in a foreign land or in the US defending the US constitution, his nation, or it's people. He was gunned down by a trigger happy, cowardly, poorly executing, etc cop. Utterly unacceptable. Full stop.
I am so sorry for your loss.
This is beyond wrong.
The exceptional nation killing exceptionally well. And think that this country engages in pointing
The finger about human rights to other countries. American exceptionalism at its best!
All cops are trigger happy.
So true 😢😢😢
@@MomMom-kc4ee that's like saying all women are whores. It's not true. One day it might be though if this attitude doesn't change..
"His life was threatened?" The young man DID NOT HAVE THE GUN RAISED AND POINTING AT HIM!" He fired shots and then said, "Put the gun down" that command came after he unloaded his gun, after the fact. He shot this child as soon as he opened the door and he DID not have the gun pointing at him, it was at his side. I DO GIVE A DAMN WHAT ANYBODY SAY, HE MURDERED THIS MAN IN COLD BLOOD!
