Guilty of holding a gun while black.
This is so upsetting. You’re right. Throughout history in many places in America, Indigenous Americans and black people were not given the same rights to be armed. And that was wrong. It took awhile for America to self- correct, but I had to a large degree and that’s why so many want to come live in our Republic.
Do you know who perpetrated the first act of unjust and inhumane gun control on a population in North America was? It was perpetrated by the British ON Amerindians.
Please, and this is for all Americans, STAY ARMED AND READY AT ALL TIMES! It’s not for another man or woman to decide for you to be armed or not! Nature’s God had given every human being the natural right to be armed and to defend themselves, their families and friends, their home and property. And the government is and has always been the number one brutalizer of innocent people on Earth.
JUST LIKE RIGHT HERE!
Guilty of breathing in a tyranny.
Try not to answer the door with a gun next time. Clearly stated they were the sheriff dept.
in bidens America. Am I right
1 group we will not hear from will be the NRA. They talk about this shit all the time but the only problem is he was black…..
So, the officer didn't cover the peephole...but he didn't stand where he could seen, and I get that that is how these door knocks happen so they don't get shot through the door, but I can totally see why the Airman was suspicious. The statement by the PD claiming the Airman heard the officer ID himself is pure speculation. They can't possible know what he heard. Even if he did hear it, he was clearly suspicious that it wasn't actually the police. And I can understand that police are human and make mistakes, the officer went to the wrong door. I can understand that he saw the man had a gun but you gotta have more than just the suspect is holding a gun to shoot them. It's pointed down, he didn't even warn him to drop it until after he'd shot him 4 damn times! That is a NO, and a properly trained officer KNOWS that. He did not use like force with like force here. That's NOT how the law says an officer can conduct theirself. There was no deadly force used on him, so he had NO justification for using deadly force. He was NOT threatened with that gun just because it was visible. A citizen is allowed to have a weapon and they're allowed to answer their door with it in hand. They're allowed to be suspicious of who is actually knocking on their door, even if they announce themselves as police. This officer was absolutely wrong and I pray this country gets a damn brain for once, so this family gets justice.
You wrote that whole soliloquy to say what? The proof is a man opened a door with a firearm..Was he planning on murdering someone?
The Acorn PD cowards demonstrate a lack of sound tactical judgement just like they are known around the world for. This was wrong. This was my military brother killed here and I feel this. I retired from the military and I see the young and women in uniform as family. I’m so upset by this.
Everyone stay strapped and exercise your 2A! It’s a right bravely and righteously fought for by generations of human beings going back millennia! It’s important especially because life is so cheap to so many! Protect yourselves and family, especially from government agents! Throughout history there is no greater brutalizer of innocent people than governments!
And keep speaking your mind here even though your speech and my speech is so heavily censored!
You tube is just like the police, they don’t like what you say they take it down and ban you so watch what you say!
You are telling us to arm ourselves when a member of our military was gunned down when he opened his door with a weapon aimed at the ground. He was stunned by the shooting. Yte folks can have guns, no one else can have weapons in AmeriKKKa.
These police announcements are also a common home invasion technique
One of our finest young people killed here. Why? He is authorized by Nature’s God to be armed!
Condolences to his family and friends from a retired military man that loves his military brethren & sistren tremendously.
Yeah, just don't answer the door with a gun when the cops knock on it.. you'd figure he would've known that.
Let's hear the audio!
End qualified immunity
He did not announce himself the first time he knocked and he stepped to the side of the door so he couldn't be seen through the peephole, which is why the young man got his weapon. He said step outside and when he took a step, he opened fire without warning. You shouldn't be a police officer if you are that scary. He opened fire the second he saw the weapon. He should not be in law enforcement.
Abother lawsuit in the making.
Minimum should be charges he had no chance to react
This story just doesn't add up if the police got a call that there was domestic violence goin on at his apartment and it was stated by the mother that the police went to the wrong apartment and when the police came to the apartment he answered the door with a loaded gun but the police did not have to shoot him down like that they could of apprehended him and took his weapon just to open fire on him makes this case unjustified and if they went to the wrong apartment why was he at the door with a loaded gun i mean did you shoot him cause he was a black man with a loaded gun i mean there goin to say there safety was in jeopardy but like i stated they could of apprehended him and took his gun and arrested him cause he was'nt pointing the gun at them he had the gun in his hand but any one can see that he had the gun pointing dwn i feel like this case is unjustified cause he was a black man i give my condolences to his loved ones extremely heartbreaking 💔💔💔✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
There was no one else in the apartment. I guess he was fighting and arguing with himself.
Click bait
They really want a new george floyd dont they
The exact opposite of the George Floyd case: Floyd was a drug addict and career criminal who died of cardiac arrest while placed in lawful restraint. This young man was murdered in his own home by Keystone Cops. I hope the Black community raises holy hell.
There's a reason why they're building "cop city" facilities near every large city. Israel has a police office exchange program with the US. The notsees in the govt want to turn the ghettos here into "little Gazas". Did you know they have cameras with guns attached to them over certain corridors in Gaza, and it's supposedly uses AI to determine whether or no to shoot you, just like the helicarriers in Winter Soldier? That barbarism is coming here if we only relegate our outrage to the comment box.
George Floyd was dramatized and the facts obscured. It’s odd he shot at police first after announcing their presence. But it’s also on the police for forcing entry into the wrong home.
There’s no comparison between Roger, a member of the USAF, and George Floyd.
@@andrewcanady6644 None. Floyd was a career criminal and drug addict who was fleeing a crime scene.
DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR WITH A GUN IN YOUR HAND.
Not a crime.
@@volairelarp3773 just makes common sense . Especially when you hear POLICE.
@@lindastone4927, did you hear them announce themselves?! Or are you one of those; the “authorities said it, so it’s obviously true” people.?!
@@rekkidink yes, I did. From another channel that doesn't feed into the bull like this one. Besides did you not hear her say the officer announced himself...TWICE.
@@lindastone4927, reporters read lines fed to them, propagating propaganda, they can’t even share their own counter opinion if it goes against the network investors narrative, why would I take what they read seriously.?! That said I didn’t check out other vids, so I’ll accept that L till I see it for myself.
Im guessing, he might have voted for joe biden...
Ole crump, never missing that paycheck of race.
What’s funny is he’s clearly low IQ. The guy sounds ridiculous when he talks yet some people take him serious I guess
The same way the police never miss race. If they stop killing people because of race Ben Crump could take on other cases. They keep him in business.
lol bout to win the ghetto lottery 😂
This is part of the education process with a Keisha mother figure. They also teach them to walk in The middle of the street at night
The both of you are so unkind.
@@purplequeen1727 what telling the truth is unkind. Oh well
@@pureblood3813 racist POS.
you must be white..becareful now,ya pointed hood is showing.
Obey tha law
Care to elaborate on the laws he broke?! Remember, the second amendment is also law and you have a right to defend yourself, well unless you’re darker skinned, am I right, am I right?! In that case any action taken by darker skinned individuals can and should be deemed unlawful, correct?!
He was active military and his weapon was legal. Stop jumping to racist conclusions.
You could hear him yelling at himself in his apartment. It's unfortunate but looks like VA had a lil psychopath but didn't help him
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Psychopaths (people with antisocial personality disorder) don’t have strong emotions, they almost never have a difficult time controlling them, most if not all emotions they show are pretend.
You’re meaning to insist that he’s PSYCHOTIC, your basis is that the dialogue was loud yet unintelligible. That makes more sense, but not a single reasonable standard to prove he’s actually going through a psychotic break has been met.
@@russellmo94 ok Diddy
Why is it always the same two or three black attorneys standing next to Victims families waiting on payouts what a shame.
Al Sharpton is black Batman.
Maaaybeee…those attorneys have a proven track record of winning wrongful death lawsuits? Seems like you might be unnecessarily judging a book by its color.

Be well, be kind, and lead a good life
@@garyk4013 Yet you never see them in the ghetto when two bangers take out innocent civilians. Why is that?
@@OrtusMallum20751 nobody cares about civilian if are government did are boarders would be good them cases don't bring the big money that's why
@@OrtusMallum2075 BIG facts.
Right, what you expect a cop to not do? If you raise your gun towards the cop to expect that the cop wont shoot you is flat out dumb. He Could had wedge himself to the door and open enough to see who is out there. But to come out like that your putting yourself in danger, I am not against self defense but you cant be out there with the mindset of shoot first.
1. He didn't raise his gun. He had it by his side pointing down
2. He didn't step outside he was in his castle in the doorway
3. If you are for self defense then the Airman had the right to be armed in his home standing his ground with a firearm.
I don't recall them saying he raised it and even so he has the right to own a gun and protect his self the cop can't be sure that he heard him announce is sefl obviously if he did he wouldn't have pull up to the door with his gun stop trying to justify the scummy ahii Cops do its mot a race thing its the face that 80% of them can't do there jobs right cops shouldn't shoot to kill people because there sus Rader go's off that's wrong and u know it if this was yout cousin or brother you wouldn't have said that
But the officer announced himself twice. Why would you grab your gun in the first place?
@@donaldduck5358it isn’t speculation or in question that the officer identified himself, but it’s wildly speculative to assume the victim heard him or had enough information to reasonably believe him.
the officer ducked away from the door after knocking (per his training) rendering the peephole useless.
@donaldduck5358 In the full video, the officer knocks on the door, then hides out of sight. He doesn't announce himself. Then he knocks again twice, and anounces himself, but there is no way of knowing if the victim heard him.
And the I wanna get paid Oscar goes to... I guess don't answer the door with a gun!!!
You are allowed to keep a fire arm to defend yourself AT YOUR PROPERTY clown.
It's his home. He can answer how he wants. That city is about to pay a lot of tax payer money to a family member now.
…and try your best not to be black while opening the door. 🫤
@adjwindu70 you're an idiot. How dumb do you have to be when the police are knocking at your door and you're holding a gun ? What do you think is gonna happen
Why? That's his right as American citizen.
