Don't ever answer the door for Police. If they have a warrant, they'll just come in. There's no upside to opening the door to talk to them. Remember, anything you say WILL be used against you. Even if you haven't done anything, still no upside to it.
What happen to the rule of don’t fire unless your fired upon this was so wrong
Why is no one talkong about him not waiting for back up for a "domestic" call? Domestic calls most likely entail at least 2 individuals, or am i missing something?
Answering the door with pistol in hand is a bit weird, unless you have something to fear. Answering the door with pistol in hand knowing a cop is at the door, sure isn’t very smart or was it🤔
Play the full video stop trying to control narrative
Military man Roger Fortson Been white man he would be alive. that cop didn’t say anything saw gun opened fire.
Why would any person who has any kind of intelligence open the door with a gun in their hand when you know it is the police.
Originally I thought he was an idiot for answering the door with a gun, thinking he had a warrant out for his arrest. Then I learned they got the wrong apartment. Wow. Prayers to the family.
I hope this man serves DECADES in prison
Yeahhh… this copper is losing his job and probably going to jail.
I’m so sorry to say this but the guy was in the wrong why would you answer the door with a gun in your hand he must of let the air force fooled him into thinking that he was a American hero reality check ninja
If this is legal the law is f ucked
There we go again
Black guy “ I can’t breath”
White guy “Don’t move”
Black guy – Dead
White guy – Self defense
Black family – Go to court
White guy – Trauma and denial
Seemed like he was kind of hiding from the peephole officers shouldn’t do that that’s the same thing robbers do and he should have never answered that door should have just stayed inside and called the police rip
Sorry but the black guy Effed around and found out
The military better press charges against that officer.
You break into someone's house unexpectedly. What do you expect. Justice for fort.
They cut the part where the woman said it was 1401. And he fired 3 times then said drop the gun
The officer did say "police open the door" then the guy knowingly had a gun in his hand and answered it.. lol
Murdered that man. ATP, I wish alot of us would stop pleading and take action. Man ain't going jail with obvious proof. It's a matter of what the family wants to do.
The sheriff’s office video doesn’t compare the call stated address to the address stated in the video? Why? What are they hiding?
That cop is guilty!!!!
The people that are on the cops side seem to not be taking into consideration that Rodger did not know why the cops were at his door.
It's Florida, they don't hold cops accountable… they champion this type of behavior from LE.
Where are my "support the troops" people at right now? Are they still chock full in the comment section, or nah?
I don't care what he was called there for. He shoots the guy before saying a single word. Even if he yelled he was police. People might not hear it. Being a police officer in America you have to know people might answer a loud suspicious knock with a gun as is their right. As the police you HAVE to give orders for the gun to be dropped before you can just open fire! Being police you take the risk of something bad could happen, but that doesn't give you the right to open fire the second you see a gun. I think the officer should go to jail! This keeps happening to Americans answering their doors at suspicious times with cops. And it is going to continue to happen with police not getting punished for this type of action!
