I'm retired Air Force MSgt, a mom of 2 airmen. I have no words, I'm sorry this happened to you, to your family. I shed tears today for you and your family. Condolences family. 🙏
This is even worse than that the Air Force ain't doing shit to defend this man's reputation they're already bad mouth in the man and turning she is good reputation in the Air Force ain't doing shit just goes to show when you serve the beast system you get served up by the beast
Police never took an oatj to protect black people. Biden did not sign a bill to protect black people. He did got Asians and Antisemitism. Open your eyes please.

I see a mother hugging the picture of her beloved son who is devastated and heartbroken. It sends a certain sadness in my heart to know he was safer in the air than he was on ground! I can't stand hearing a good guy get killed who was actually doing well for himself and his family. To be killed by a spooky and judgemental cop. He's gone but I know his family and his community will keep his name alive. Justice must be served!
A “Karen” caused that by giving 12 the wrong door. She should’ve minded her damn business.. or at least got her facts right before calling 12. May he rest in power..🙏🏾
Tragic!!! Just saw the body cam footage it was an execution. You have the right to answer your door with a firearm in your possession. The Airman answered the door with the weapon he legally owned pointed down and never raised it at the officer. The officer told him step back then discharged about 6 rounds into the Airman. The officer Never told the Airman put the weapon down or asked questions before he opened fire on the Airman. I hope that justice is served and may the Airman R.I.P. 🕊️

This is why I would never open my door for any one that wears a flag on their uniform that is not the color of a flag but the true racist colors of oppression
Don’t answer the door with a gun in your hand when a deputy knocks and announces “sheriff’s department”… this press conference has lies throughout. Clump is a racist. The door was opened by the guy not forced open. The deputy announced “sheriff’s department” 2 times and the office personnel told the deputy apt 1401… the deputy never said “he all shot up”….
It really is, and then even worse to hear these pricks sit and try to justify another cold blood murder. It's ashame what this country let's have a badge and gun.
Apparently he was on FaceTime. Still doesn't change the fact that the lady who called the cops said she heard the commotion while "Walking by." Only problem is... Roger is on the 4th floor and the very LAST apt on said floor. Why the hell was she walking by? There's nowhere to walk but to his apt. She was nosy and called the cops cause she thought someone "was talking too loud."
@@robertsessoms That's the real question here and thats why they need to question that Karen who reported it. That man was minding his own business she called the cops for no reason and got that man killed. 😓
All involved should be fired this is not acceptable! How do they keep giving the wrong information and not double checking before engaging, it’s just not acceptable!
@@Torq-wy2cryou are wrong there were no games played the fact of the matter is that those cops were scared 😢 so they just started shooting because of fear 😢
This is the same police department that mistaken an acorn for gunshots and shot up his own patrol car with a handcuffed black man inside the patrol car. Fortunately he wasn't injured. Incident date November 2023
Lord have Mercy on this family,we are not safe at all in this country,they saw a black man and deemed him worthless,we are all God's children ,if he had no achievements he's a human being, bottom line !!! Police brutality once again !!!! They beat my brother eye out unnecessary!!!!! My condolences to his entire family RIP, God said vengeance is his ,they will pay you reap what you sow,I hope they look at their children and see ,this mother's son ,sheer evil,
Just because we should own guns doesn't mean we should do what we want. And what does BLACK have to do with it? Would the situation, as it is, be different if he was white??
@@jennifermcleod7163do what we want??? What was done that warrant death what was done at all what was wrong that’s how you answer the door when you get no answer and peek hole covered
That was an ambush. He hid beside the door and immediately fired when the door was open. His weapon was already drawn and aimed as the door opened. Ironically, this was allegedly the only blk resident in the complex and they knew he was there as a registered gun owner. It was a set up from the beginning
That so-called police officer knows he didn't have to s & m that young man . It's like... He's been waiting for an opportunity to s & m someone . She should be charged, arrested, sent to jail, convicted, & sent to prison .
And over and get away with it because the people in charge don't do crap about it if you let somebody get away with everything then they will never learn their lesson.
When are we going to do something about it, clearly this administration showed that it wasn't going to get rid of qualified immunity but they passed a anti Asian hate crime bill as if asians are and have been catching he'll in this country. As black americans we get treated the way we do because every where on earth people who have been persecuted by a majority fought fire with fire but black americans. These people only respect death, protests have not done anything but given us the same results and it isn't getting better. So they cut the family a check and sweep this under the rug and Ben Crump is starting to piss me off because these cases are seeming to be nothing but a payday for him because how much can he take if these cases hurt him like he says
I am so sorry for your loss, my condolences to your family. I have served in the United States Air Force for 8 years too myself. I am crying the tears of sadness and grief for this family. May he Rest In Peace.
American cops are way too trigger happy even when they are wrong...but it is the politicians that allow this madness to continue they can easily change this by putting serious consequences in place for when stuff like this happens...but they just don't want to
If yall paid attention to the video put your self There imagine hearing a knocking on your door you don’t see no one then hear a knocking again and see no one then the 3rd time you hear the knocking you open the door thinking it’s someone tryna rob just for a cop to shoot you once you open up that’s crazy
@@samuraisaxon6800 because he’s a veteran and it should prompt him to stand the community he claims to love so much. I am army vet myself so I would lose respect for him if he didn’t. People are talking about how if they’ve never been in that situation before that they wouldn’t know how to act well I been around plenty of men with multiple weapons around potential hostile personnel that could flip on a dime, and luckily I never acted or seen anyone act so recklessly and rashly.
Why are our police officers making these fatal errors? This is unforgivable. I'm so sorry for this young man and his heartbroken family. I cannot understand the actions of the police. How much brainpower does it take to knock on a door?
@@HoltHolt-xm2hh he would have shot anyone that answered the door of a call hes on with a gun!!!wtf is wrong with you blacks? You cause problems and when the copss come and clean up the problem you always cry corruption...who does he think is after him that he needs to be answering his home doorbell straped?? We dont have the whole story yet...they didnt wait to get the dedtails,they just straight got a lawyer ans yelling racism.....money grab....
Because they are DUMB ARSES. Are we to believe that NONE of these officers can READ or WRITE or COMPREHEND literature or a VERBAL COMMUNICATION. This Shit continues to happen to INNOCENT civilians. Is communication, reading, and comprehending a part of the training initiatives for police? I agree MISTAKES happen, but it seems to be REPEATEDLY issues of the same flipping crap, WRONG ADDRESS!!! They will investigate, and AGAIN find that NOTHING WRONG with the MURDER of Rodger Fortson. This is where the GOOD CITIZENS needs to DEMAND JUSTICE
So very sorry for this beautiful family. Such a huge loss to his family, girlfriend, fellow airmen and really to our whole country. God Bless his precious mother.
"Throwing another person under the bus to save your own skin, in order to sustain a fabricated illusion that saves your own face, is the ultimate form of weakness and cowardice." - C. JoyBell C.
There was no forced entry. The cop knocked on the door and announced that he was law enforcement; the cop didn't bust the door open. Watch the police body cam video because Ben Crump is twisting the truth.
Hit by the legal blue gang members the only difference between normal gang members and cops is when they commit a crime they don't get away with it 99% of the time.
This was what the white supremacist do. They call police with fake allegations and they swat black people. I used to live around them. These interactions with police are deadly, they do this stuff on purpose.
I agree my guy, Karen called about some sht happen the other fking day and sent them to the negro house on purpose. She see him with his legal gun like I'm gone fix this nicca. You so fking right cuz
All black men are set up with a hit, you don't see whyte people die like this... It always a hit and set up for all the dumb azzzzz that don't believe it...
Why did it take more than one aggressive knock, before he identified himself as a deputy sheriff? Pay this family, liars. It won’t bring him back, but it’ll help him rest in peace. Blessings to the family.🙏🏾
I'm still trying to figure out why we support a country that doesn't support their own (Us)! We should be supported and appreciated for all that we do and have given to this country! PERIOD!
I see videos of robberies, attacks, car jackings and police chases every single day on youtube and the common denominator is overwhelming. Every single one of them says "what did I do, I dint do anything" every single one.. All these people tired of this country, but no one wants to leave. You'd think all these people would be warning the millions of migrants trying to come here. ⚠️ ⚠️
How many times does this have to happen? Tell me? The Palm Bay Police, namely "Steve Shytle, PBPD" illegally broke in to a home in 2016. A home the family owned since 1978! Steve Shytle physically stole everything from the home, a free for all for him, he stole cash, cell phone, jewelry, computer, art work, and expensive momentos, yet no record or inventory exist. A 3bed/2bath/2 garage fully finished home was completely empties by Steve Shytle, PBPD. There were witnesses, Attorney Bryn Brito and her assistant and others witnessed the crime. When police commit crimes, no FBI, no lawyers, no Department of Justice, no government agency create justice. If in 2016 the illegal break-in was administered justice, and corruption in Florida was stopped, then this young man would be alive. So do we wait until the next person's life is ended to say how sad we are, how we will pray for them? They are DEAD!! They will not see next year, a new car, a trip to Europe, a promotion, or their sons and daughters attend high school for the first time. They are DEAD!! However, the cop will have to stay home, eating pizza, watching Netflix, all the while depositing his paychecks in the bank with a smirk on his face.
It's not a perfect world no matter how bad you want it to be. Cops are just people. People make mistakes all the time, even when they're trying not to and so to answer your question; an indefinite amount of times.
@@IceLynneYeah but just like anyone those people need to be held accountable it wouldn't be a mistake if a regular citizen went to your house and shot you don't give cops better treatment then you would give another person down the street.
This only happens In Florida but Oregon and Washington we have the defund the police which has been a good thing cause if they try killing you, they will be lock up and also start cutting law enforcement salaries cut on them.
So so disgusting, so sad. All she has to hold on to is a photograph taken by the same country who took him away from his family. My condolences to the families who lost their beloved son. Rest in Paradise, Mr. Roger Fortson. 😢😢😢❤❤❤ Salute his name! Say it loud!
Hearing his mother wailing is truly heartbreaking. 💔 I have a 24 year old son and I can’t imagine the pain she feels. I pray for justice for this family. Our Country lost a hero.
What is the difference now that the governor of Florida does not say anything...he was at home and someone was defending our country...what is the difference because the governor does not say anything...😢
Death Santis Passed A Laws Here In Florida That Practically Gets Rid Of Police Accountability, It Makes It So No Civilian Review Boards Can Look Into Police Accountability ,Corruption.
I see a few things on both sides. I see the officer identify himself 3 times. But standing over to the side, the Airman inside cannot see it is really a police officer. It could have been anyone saying they were police, and coming to rob him or something. The airman, while he did have a gun in his hand, AT NO TIME was it ever raised or pointed at the officer. Nor did the Airman make any aggressive move towards the officer. I can understand seeing a gun and being alarmed, but a drop your weapon would have been enough . Viewing the video bit by bit, when the officer told him to step out BOTH of his hands were at his side. He only raised a hand, and it was not the hand with the gun, to protect himself from the bullets coming at him. It was a defensive move. How did they have the wrong apartment. The woman told the officer 1401... he was at 1401. Did that woman give him the wrong apartment number? I think the officer jumped the gun, literally. There was no aggression on the part of the Airman, whatsoever. The officer was the only one showing aggression. I want to thank this Airman for his service to this country, and pray for him and his family. They must be heart broken. I would have said maybe the officer should have waited for more police before he went up there, but then that would have probably triggered more adrenaline and more shots at the Airman. I think this officer needs to be held accountable.
Why were they there to begin with ? I mean obviously something Was amuck, however they were not at the right address. RIP SIR 🙏 THANK YOU FOR YOU SERVICE
Some woman called about a disturbance. She admitted she wasn't sure which apartment it was coming from but she gave the police his apartment number. Anyway, it was dumb lady who called the police and got him killed.
This is outrageous! This could happen to any of us. The police should not be making mistakes like this AT ALL. My two sons are in the Navy, and I could not imagine something like this happening to them. My sincere condolences go out to his family, his Air Force family and his friends. 😢
@EvidentlyFire You don't do it EVER. How does the cop know if you want to shoot him or not? You have a loaded gun in your hand and he doesn't know you at all. Is he supposed to wait and see?
@@EvidentlyFireWe have the right to bare arms in this country..No gun was pointed at officers and they went to the wrong apartment...So if I'm walking with my gun in a store or something they have the right to shoot me bc I can open carry 😤
@@Torq-wy2crIt doesn't matter the gun he had was legally owned and police didn't announce themselves they were just pounding on the door he was defending his home he did not know that police was at the door beacuse they were just banging on that door plus he wasn't pointing the gun at the cops it's was pointing down at the floor the cops were in the wrong they did not announce themselves and the shooting was unjustified
This mom need to be strong and get through this and get her money first and foremost. Great loss to the community and he family need to get they money and justice!
Sorry for this family loss. Why this still happening to black men that serve in the military- come home and get killed by police? Why. When is this type of behavior towards black peoples going to stop?? Pray go out to this family 🙏
@@LzyArtNo ... But the last Chump president let out a lot of prisoners who should still be in Jail! So why not stand up for your military warriors and heroes especially the ones who are being k!lled for no reason and unarmed!
Those deputies went to his house and murdered him in cold blood. There was no questions. No time for him to secure his weapon for the deputy. The deputy saw the gun and immediately fired on this military officer. They didn't even know where to go to find this disturbance in progress. There is no musical doors and go after who opens first. These law enforcement deputy sheriff's was completely inappropriate in their actions and it's clear on the bodycam footage. How do they explain this?
I am so SICK of this!!! I have lost count of how many INNOCENT Black men and women are killed in their own homes by police or even just being in the street minding their business. I am so tired of this. My heart breaks a little more every time I see things like this. I heard this while I was working, and I had to stop because I couldn't keep from crying in sadness, frustration, anger, and disgust. He was on the RIGHT path. He had a BRIGHT future ahead of him. The best of the BEST! But it goes to prove that no matter what we do in life, we are ALWAYS seen as a threat. REGARDLESS of any achievements we have in our lives. SIX f***ing times?!!! I am disgusted and furious because they talk and talk and talk, with the same old tired-ass platitudes from government officials: "we have to have a talk/dialogue about...", "Our thoughts and prayers go to..." I'm sick of the empty platitudes and then they turn around and do the usual...f*** all. S.I.P. sweetheart. You, young man, were taken way too soon, by someone who should never have been able to wield a gun. Mama Fortson and family, I send my spirit of comfort, and love to you, as your sister in Christ, and pray that God comforts you and holds you all close in this time. Your baby is gone from this world too soon. Roger left a legacy of EXCELLENCE for you all, and all of us to be extremely proud of. I'm so, so sorry. ❤
