Bodycam video released of deadly police shooting of U.S. airman in Florida
Body camera video has been released after Senior Airman Roger Fortson was killed last week inside his own home in Florida. Fortson armed himself before answering the door. His family says the sheriff’s deputy who shot him was at the wrong apartment.

Why is the officer telling the airmen to drop the gun while the gun is not in his possession.
So there's several things wrong here:
1. If its true that the Sheriff went to the wrong apartment than they need to fire him immediately for this mistake
2. Why would the Airmen answer the door with a gun if the Officer announced himself as being part of the Sheriff's Officer
3. I understand pointing the gun at him we seeing that gun at his side, but then I noticed she said that he told the Airmen to step back which means he hesitated and should've told him to drop the weapon before unloading on him.
Regardless I think the Sheriff's office is negligent, I dont know why someone would answer the door when the Sheriff knocked and announced himself other than he might've been skeptical because I'm not certain that door had a peephole, but his quick trigger action led to the death of this airmen and it was unnecessary
ANYBODY CAN KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR AND YELL OUT "POLICE"! & CAN BE SOME ROBBERS! IF THE OFFICER WOULD OF WENT TO THAT DOOR WITH RESPECT & KNOCKED ON THAT DOOR CORRECTLY AND STOOD WHERE THE AIRMAN CULD SEE HIM THROUGH THE PEEP HOLE, WE WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY! LISTEN TO THE "KAREN" SHE DIDN'T EVEN TELL THE COP A CRIME WAS COMMITTED, ALL SHE DID WAS GAVE THE COP THE AIRMAN ADDRESS & THE COP WENT TO HIS APARTMEN AND KILLED HIM…
YOU ARE THE POLICE!!! WHY ARE YOU HIDING? WHAT THE HELL HE DOING ON THE SIDE OF THE DOOR? HOW CAN HE EXPECT FOR HIM TO SEE YOU THROUGH THE PEEP HOLE?
"No termination were made whether the deputy action were justified or not."
Bro, he just killed a wrong guy without proper identification, goes shooting without making a warning sign to the suspect. He could be saved by detained, but no he just shooting at him at the spot.
This is horrible , why don't they admit the cop was wrong…. its obvious he didn't have any reason to shoot…….but i dont believe what the girlfriend ia being truthful about what she said about that, that wasn't on body cam … no way can they erase it…body cam footage is what it shows…theres no way to My Uncle was high up in the police department where i live and he swore about that …
Happend in my county. These cops here are a bit trigger happy
Cops are killing people for no reason in Florida.

Qualified Immunity is Sovereign Immunity. Therefore police are Sovereign Citizens.
Not against the law to hold a gun. Many in the Air Force have poor hearing due to working on the flight line.
He couldn’t see who was knocking because the cope was hiding
Who is so stupid to open the door holding as gun when the police is knoking on the door.
They confirmed it was the correct place
NEVER answer your door for police unless they have a warrant. This is what can happen. Beyond disturbing
DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR WE'RE IN A DEPRESSION.
I heard "step out," not "step back"
How many more examples do we need before people stop answering their front door when cops randomly show up??
You’re. Not. Required. To!
0:08 — Dang! You can’t even pronounce his last name correctly, and you’re allegedly a journalist.
I’m in ROTC airforce everytime I look at the picture my RO teachers set up of veterans in air force this airmen did not deserve this
Isn't it odd, yet not surprising, how one must practically dig deep to uncover any mention of the daily or hourly news regarding this incident? If a Republican were in office, the media would have undoubtedly sensationalized this event to the point of rioting, looting, burning, and mass protests. The black leaders. would have undoubtedly summoned the efforts of Soros-funded ANTIFA and BLM activists. It would have dominated every news channel and graced the front pages of nearly every newspaper.
But alas, how foolish of me to forget that any hint of turmoil must be carefully concealed to ensure Biden's reelection! Can you now see the intricate workings of the divisive news machine? Or perhaps it is simply because this tragic and unwarranted event did not befall a criminal, but rather a respectable individual, whom the leftist media tends to favor. Oh, the irony of it all.
Tragic and heartbreaking. This should not have happened. Someone needs to reel in the sheriff and bring some calm into the community. The sheriff is nuts.
His actions were not justified liar
Definitely not justified, but also can’t believe anyone is already, especially the family, is calling it racially motivated. That’s pretty pathetic to keep pushing that narrative.
Why did he answer the door with a gun
Tragic but dumb. You dont answer the door with a gun when the cops clearly have identified themselves. Thats dumb as hell.
