Florida deputy that shot and killed airman terminated

[IronBeard]

Up until Thursday aden, accompanied by lawyer, was still covering and calling this an unfortunate incident. 24 hours later duran is fired, his name is released, and it has made national news. Seems he got some legal advice in between.

Smells like a CYA/sacrificial firing to throw 'em off the real problem(s), but maybe I just read that in a book or saw it on TV. Rather than quickly turning his back on the guy he defended from go, you would think a good boss would walk that back, move toward decertifying duran, maybe even get an RPO, and make sure he doesn't flee.

ETA. And where is the Florida district 1 "congressman" while all of this transpires? Glad you asked. He has secured himself and staff in the same building, behind armed deputies and metal detectors, as the Okaloosa County "sheriff" currently flailing to place all blame on one person.

And yet, the Florida district 13 Congresswoman finds district 1 issues important enough to come over here and probe/question. Maybe we can convince her to move over here...

Prob'ly nothing to all of that, but, considering lifestyle of our "best/brightest," ya never know when your gonna need a "courtesy" ride, someone to "forget" to turn on their body cam, or just "lose" a report, but I'll do one right now based on what I remember...

What's a RPO?

 

[IronBeard]

Risk Protection Order. AKA, Red Flag.

What a shame. Protected class. Got fired because of some dummy answers the door with gun in hand.

Anyone ever hear of a peep hole in the door. Use the peep hole before opening door with a gun in hand at the ready.

Doesn’t appear so. One time this happened to me when we lived outside Panama City. Bay County deputy banged on our door. I had it in hand but obscured by the door. He had the wrong house, but didn’t believe I was not who he was looking for. I opened the door, tossed it on the couch and told him to come inside while I went to get some credentials for him. He realized his error then and said that wouldn’t be necessary.

What to know about airman Roger Fortson’s fatal shooting

Information released so far by authorities hasn’t clarified why a Florida sheriff's deputy was directed to the senior airman's apartment.

When you're polite and unthreatening that's how LEO respond to you. It's always, always been the case with me.

That's an isn't always true. I'm never polite to having my rights violated or rude manors..

Cop should have expected to been treated with unhappy resident. Rude cops

 

[PINELOG]

Always amazed at all the cheapshots taken by folks that have no law enforcement experience . That speculate and believe in every right except due process .

 

[B52]

You don’t need to be LE to see or experience rights violations. Cops are always considered above the citizen in a courtroom unless hard independent evidence is available to show otherwise. Cops are always willing to shoot first and overreact too many times.

Like I've said before, if you want someone to die for no reason just get a police officer involved.

You need to get out more. A few bad cops have caused mistrust of all.

29 years experience . How about you ?

29 years experience . How about you ?

65 yrs old. Experiencing the good and bad of cops. Cops have power over citizen and abuse it. Citizens are lucky to have recourse in the court. Like I said, a few bad cops have caused loss of trust of all cops.
Example: Start at the 20 min mark .

You have my sympathy

 

[Welldoya]

I’m not a cop, never been a cop or have any cops in my family.
But I think if any of us had to put up with the scumbags that they do, we would all change our perspective and be on edge most of the time.
Most of the people that have problems are not following directions or do something stupid, like coming to the door with a gun.
Any way you look at it, that was stupid. You don’t have a gun in your hand around a cop. They don’t know your intentions.

Or a camera. Assuming LEOs don't cover it up or move it. In which case I am NOT opening the door but will be calling 911 myself instead.

That’s probably not a bad idea if you can’t clearly see the LEO.
When it happened to me I could see him clearly thru the sidelights.

That guy in the video is a jack ass. He’s pushing the limits for no reason other than to get views. Very childish.
The right to carry a gun while fishing was not meant for fishing in a public park. It’s for fishing in rural areas. Abuse the privilege and it just might get taken away.
If some guy is walking around a public park with an AR, I want him checked out. Too many crazies these days.
