Who was the complainant? Who called the police? Who gave the police the apartment number? What crime did he commit? I mean having a gun in his apartment isn't a crime.
That nosey neighbor that walks around the grounds listening to folks conversations in their homes is who caused that young man his death.🙏🏽💐🕊💐🙏🏽
And police negligence and excessive force!
Exactly!! That officer didn't know who was behind that door. WHY would you open the door with a gun???? Where is this women that told him his apartment number.
@@cynthiagarcia1451 They explained why he came to the door with his firearm. He heard banging on the door and he didn’t see anyone thru the peephole because the officer stood to the side of the peephole. It’s your right as a licensed firearm owner to walk around even inside your home with your firearm. He never raised the gun nor did he had a chance to do so. He clearly saw that it was an officer at his door after he opened it. The officer saw the firearm in his hand at his side and open fire on the guy in less than 2 seconds,shoots him 6 times reported and then yells “drop the gun”. At the end of the day,it was Ms. Nosey fault because there is proof in other videos where she admitted to complaining about other folks in their household supposedly causing a disturbance. That woman has no life and seems to just walk around the place listening to folks behind closed doors and then run call the police when she feels she’s heard something disturbing. She need to get a life and stop being a “Karen”. Go cook a meal,do your laundry,dust your figurines or go for drive and see new things,instead of walking around snooping on the grounds. She caused the young man’s his death most definitely.
@@scorporsupremacy7948 I can see coming to the door with a gun if it was late at night when no one is supposed to be knocking on you’re door, but in broad daylight in the afternoon when anyone could have been knocking? What if it was ups is he going to go get his gun for the ups man? What if it was a girls scout selling cookies and he brought a gun to the door for that. Right before he opened the door he acknowledged it was the police which is why he just casually opened the door. The problem is if he knew it was the police at the door why did he still have his gun in hand?
@cynthiagarcia1451 Castle Doctrine say I can open the door with a gun.
So can you own a firearm or can’t you?
It's about self defense, not gun ownership. Why are you people so easily manipulated by media?
Just take the cop away from the scenario and put any generic civilian on the other side of the door. The man came to open his door w a firearm in plain view. If you were the one knocking, and you had a gun as well, and saw he opened the door w a gun in hand, would you wait to find out his intent or gain control of the situation for your own safety? Sure you could point and demand he drop his weapon but he would have just as much right to defend himself too, and then you're both likely to get shot unless you shoot first anyway. Only an idiot would stand there w a man holding a gun, and wait to find out if he's nuts or not.
The cops had every right as a citizen, let alone a police officer, to neutralize a perceived threat.
You people where you get your training from you tube. You have no clue to what your talking about.
@user-wm7jh7uk5t your mom drank too much diet coke when she swallowed you.
Gain control of the situation is different from murdering a man by shooting him 6 times
The American soldier DID NOT violate the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or State law ..!
The American was safe and secure in his own castle according to the United States Constitution until he was shot dead 6 times by the enemy!
The gun might as well have been an apple or a peach according to Constitutional law. (The bad cop is going down for murder!)

I hope that this family sues and wins a HUGE settlement.
Money is not going to bring this young man back. Conviction put in prison and never see the light of day. Prayer and marching is not getting anything done.
@@airframer99 money sends a message, or suing for it and getting a large settlement.
@@kennixox262 Air Force has already settled $400k life insurance policy. I would know because I'm beneficiary of son policy who in the military. I hope not see a dime of it.
@@airframer99 that’s the max. they give you several options to choose from. But the bigger option you choose the more they take out of your already lousy paycheck. Who knows what option he chose.
@@airframer99of course it won’t bring him back. They still need to pay though
Don't open the door. Doesn't matter who.
The lady n that officer needs to be charged for murder.... I feel so bad for his family n his girlfriend. She is gonna be traumatized for the rest of her life... I cry daily for him... this is so sad.... my prayers are with him and his family
there are no "officers" those are the cops
She is no lady. Just a woman.
This young man was doing everything right and they still murder him..
What can we do right in the sight of these gods?
They killed us for just being black..
Why are there no protests for him? This was ridiculous. Yes, he answered with a gun but it wasn't pointed.
Lol he been next to doin crime. He an airmen just like the northeast tragedy of bowling alley tragedy. He was a militia
@@Daniel-bb8mjHopefulChild I don't understand what you wrote.
My ❤goes out to the family and prayers. Stay strong family. Continue to fight for JUSTICE!
Unacceptable and inexcusable! So very sad for this family. The deputy should be behind bars not on leave!!!
It’s a terrible thing the people are scared the cops are scared the country is on edge I feel for the family ❤
U hear everyday cop the one in line of fire. These two bout in same occupation one is a elite cause he's white lol
This deputy will be brought to justice!
Only street justice prevails when dealing with the blue gang.
No, he won't. Not on this side.
@@tiffanywilliams6946well his brothers in NC paid the price for that
This isn't the first time this has happened. Won't be the last young black men have targets on their back.
It was an execution, and that officer/hitman committed the assassination.
And Chicago young ones are watching
These sorts of things have been happening around America for over 20 years but now with internet we can see it... The people will not stand for this much longer they better go back to the old ways where it's paperwork and not AI.
What if he opened the door without his gun? You think he’d still be here?
@@xx_420_blz_it_xx5 That doesn't matter. 2nd amendment!!!!
@@onceagain61842nd amendment doesn’t give you the right to brandish a deadly weapon no matter if he was in his home or not. Every single gun safety class teaches you that when the police are on scene do not have your gun in hand as you might get shot. I have even heard 911 operators tell people to make sure their firearm is not on them when the cops arrive.
@@onceagain6184 I think it kinda matters. Why have the gun out the holster if you're not gonna use it? He clearly stated he was the police. Evolution at work I guess. 🤷♂️
Very tragic loss of a good soldier
I appreciate the details do not fail him Georgia. He served our country and was well within his rights when shot because the officer not only was at wrong apartment but his from peephole and failed to announce himself. I saw the badge cam footage it looks like an assassination as his mom said. Florida this is an embarrassment.
Did you even watch the video? He knocked twice and announced himself so loudly everyone in China heard him. Right before he opened the door he says yes you’re the police and he still opened the door with a gun in his hand.
Florida is tRump land. This is what they do.
So sad, he straight to jail !
Does it matter? Officer would of killed someone else once door opened.
Tell a report!
That's an exacuteion. Period
Exactly. They said he was shot in a second. SMH
Where is the Air Force?
No man left behind huh?
The Air Force couldn’t even respect the man at the airport when he came home. After that embarrassing stunt they pulled at the airport I would be furious if that was my son in the casket.
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THIS FAMILY🙏🏾 THIS IS SO HEARTBREAKING 💔 TO EVEN HEAR… LIKE WHY YOU DIDNT EVEN GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO PUT HIS GUN DOWN AND JUST SEE WHAT IS GOING ON… THIS IS SO SAD😢 I WATCHED ROGERS FUNERAL HE WAS A GOOD MAN THAT STOOD ON PRINCIPLE AND IT IS SAD TO KNOW THAT HIS LIFE WAS TOOK SENSELESSLY! I PRAY THAT THIS FAMILY GETS THE JUSTICE THAT THEY VERY WELL DESERVE🙏🏾
Remember Botham Jean and Tatiana Jefferson both of Texas, Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend of Kentucky.
Damn shame, they keep killing
Look, it doesn't matter if a cop was at his door or just a random civilian. The man opened the door w a gun visibly in hand. No one is obligated to find out if he intends to use it or not. From that moment the officer has the right to defend himself from an obvious perceivable threat.
End
Of
Story.
This has nothing to do w gun ownership, or the 2nd Amendment. It's about self defense, and cops have just as much right to it as a civilian.
If only there were court precedents that said whether having a firearm in your hand, but not in a threatening, matter was enough cause to shoot someone. This is an entirely new situation that we've never had in history before...
@@Cloudz2021how can you have a firearm in your hand and not be threatening? If I walked up to you and you don’t know me and I pull out a gun are you telling me you wouldn’t feel threatened?
Oh Deputy the life was in danger. Big difference if it was pointed. Stop talking you know nothing about deadly force.
@@airframer99 so cops should wait till it’s pointed at them? Yeah that makes sense.
@@Jenkmode89 If the mere possession of a firearm is enough justification for lethal force, then owning a firearm is illegal. Legally, the deciding factor is whether the weapon is held in "threatening manner".
😢😢😢
And absolutely Nothing will be done either.
The cops will walk (as usual).
Smh
We as Black people in this country are going to have to confront these people, because if we continue down this path of peace and prayer they will continue to do these evil things to us they have no respect for us, they have no love for us, lets be truthful, we make a stand or they will continue to this.
Everything is so messed up cops , society , its like a war around here shooting innocent people Ike is nothing , I just mind my own business sometimes the more I know about us humans ,the more I love my 🙀 cat gees
This is what happens when a country has far too many guns, zero gun training on both sides of the equation. Cops are not much better compared to most industrialized countries, here, you just need a high school diploma, police academy, a gun and a badge. A lot of departments hire former military which frankly is not a good policy. I do think that many police departments think of civilians as enemy combatants, especially those who are of color.
The Police!
It's abnormally them, vs us ...

Personally I think this was a hit.
No proof, just an opinion
Why would it be a "hit" on a low ranking airman? He was a Senior Airman (E-4)? That is about as low in rank as you can be in the USAF, it is not even NCO status after 1992.
Is the people always in other in people bussines call police for may be stuff just argue in laud voice to know sometimes those police shut first and ask after. This young man will have a beautiful future. And his life was cut out
It was an execution; what else is there to call it? I've stated it before, and I reiterate now.
Name just one thing, only one, that this young man did which was against the law.
He brandished a deadly weapon it’s a first degree misdemeanor in Florida punishable by a heavy fine and jail time.
@@Jenkmode89 You are allowed to openly carry a weapon on your own property (see Florida Statute 790.25 (n));
@@respectmyauthoritah1875 there is a difference between open carry and it being in your hand. If that gun was in his holster when he opened the door then he doesn’t get shot and we aren’t talking right now. The second he put it in his hand and opened the door to a cop no less he was brandishing and that is a crime in most states including Florida.
@@respectmyauthoritah1875 all open carry means is you have the right to have it on your person in a holster and it must be visible unless you have a concealed carry permit. Once it comes out of the holster it is now brandishing and is against the law.
Assassination
Ok, it’s the wrong apartment. Let’s play a little game.. Do you think he would still be alive today if he answered the door without his gun?
It’s disgusting it’s always a 🤬mistake
Yea it was definitely a mistake to open the door to someone identifying as a police officer, and brandish a firearm in plan view.
@@user-wm7jh7uk5twhy yall always coming up wit excuses for these dumb cops? Like if your really pro cop wouldn’t you want cops who make dumb mistakes like this OFF the force?
@@iDewThis4Yuit’s not a dumb excuse stop looking at it just from the airman’s perspective. Try being in the cops shoes for once. If you were a cop responding to a domestic which is very dangerous for a cop and then when you get to the door a guy opens the door and is holding a gun are you telling me you’re just going to wait and find out if his intentions are bad or not?
😢
Maybe the next guy will consider this when opening their door w a weapon in plain view, to someone identifying as a police officer.
@@user-wm7jh7uk5tmaybe he was talking to his girlfriend on the computer and wearing headphones and only heard the knocking like a crazy person. Mind your own business.
He said f n police before he opened the door with a gun. Go home future rappers. Go home.
Law enforcement did not say police this how I know you don't pay attention . Second knock on the door Sheriff Department no police. I hope you are never on nobody jury. You dont pay attention.
@@airframer99 you can’t be serious are you? So the sheriffs office is not the police anymore? You might want to tell them that then.
@airframer99 bruh you ain't even warch the bodycam. Guy said f n police, you can hear it on the bodycam.. Cop stood in front of the door as the guy opened the door. All these made up Benjamin Chump lies about not announcing themselves and hiding from the door peephole then popping up and shooting.
@@Jenkmode89 bruh you ain't even watch the bodycam. Guy said f police, you can hear it on the bodycam.. Cop stood in front of the door as the guy opened the door. All these made up Benjamin Chump lies about not announcing themselves and hiding from the door then popping out and firing.
@@Jenkmode89 No they are not the same.Sheriff is an elected official. Job duty security court house jail, transport prisoners. I would know ex is a Deputy.
Lawyer is dumb, still doesn’t prove it’s the wrong apartment.
I AM DEEPLY SOORY FOR YOUR LOSS!!! GOD BLESS THE FAMILY!!!
Police Chief...... sorry, deputy with no name could not attend funeral,
we put him on paid vacation leave, at disneyland....hey is that mickey ? no Al Sharpton$
