My heart goes out to Roger Fortson's family. 💖
A man above reproach. As a veteran my heart hurts to see this.
Thank you so much Roland! Please keep us updated on this tragic case. So sorry for this family.
We get killed when we home and people trying to make him the bad guy our life don't matter for real
Thank you for the update. I believe his funeral is tomorrow. I wonder if it will be live streamed he was a military man serving his country
Same thing the other side tried to do to Botham Jean. The young hatian who was sitting in his apartment eating ice cream when a confused white female cop entered his apartment and shot him. They tried to cover it up and tried to link him to drugs that did not or ever exist. 🤨
This is heartbreaking he was a role model he served his country you he did all the right things and he is dead
Father how long we ask, Not long will the blood of our people be Shed needlessly. My heart goes out to the family may God bring Peace and a quick resolution to this tragic incident. Again my Condolence to the family.
My heart hurts for his family and my people. Dear God, please move on behalf of this family and our people, in Jesus' Name!
Where is the military on this?
Isn't this a civilian crime and not a military occurrence.
Where is Biden and Harris on this
As the mother stated, the military has been her rock. She said she wouldn't have made it without the support of the military from all levels. I salute the military.
My condolences go out to the Fortson's Family.
RIP my fellow Airman thank you for your service to this country and I pray that accountability prevails. Another instance where law enforcement had no clue who they were dealing with. It is just insane how jumpy and irresponsible some Cops are. I would not want to be in his shoes for nothing in the world.
I am absolutely heartbroken 💔
Why do we still not know exactly who he was supposedly fighting with? Where is this girl?
The focus seems to be on the fact Airman Fortson **was indeed Alone** inside his apartment. I haven’t heard or read hardly ANY comments on why it’s been reported he was Arguing with someone in his apartment 🤷🏽♀️
@@renewashington9119 wrong apt, or he was arguing with hs gf via zoom in his own apt. In other words minding his own business. Who ever called the police needs to be held accountable. These KARENS must be stopped.
What has been the response from the leadership of his base (Eglin AFB) and to a greater extent the response from the US Air Force? Let’s see if they value the lives of young black men that serve.
This anger and saddens me. How many of our men and women in this country keep getting killed at the hands of police officers who have this quick feeling of fearing for their life. When a weapon is in a downward position pointing at the ground is not a threat with your finger off the trigger resting in the side of the gun. Many officers rush to quick judgment decisions resulting in excessive use of daily force. Hopefully this family get the proper justice.
JUSTICE FOR ROGER
Do not answer/open the Door for Police!
Especially with a firearm in your hand! Like duh.
One Veteran to another, rest easy.
Rest in Heaven from one veteran to another.
Also, did you see what was done in TX Abbots pardon? This is why voting is so importand when we dont vote, politicians are emboldened. Can fed charges be brought against this guy and to circle back desantis became gov of fla with less that 30k votes !
A totally pointless and unnecessary loss.
As a fellow veteran, I am deeply saddened and troubled to hear about the senseless killing of Senior Airman Roger Fortson by police in Florida. Airman Fortson bravely served our country, only to lose his life needlessly to police violence here at home. It fills me with grief to see yet another Black servicemember, who dedicated his life to our nation, die in this way.
Incidents like this are a sobering reminder that even those who wear the uniform are not immune to the systemic racism and injustice that continues to plague policing in America. It shows how far we still have to go to root out bias and brutality in law enforcement, and to ensure that every person, regardless of the color of their skin, can expect fair treatment and due process.
My heart goes out to Airman Fortson's family, friends and fellow Airmen as they cope with this devastating loss. I stand with them in mourning and in the continued call for meaningful reform, increased accountability, and justice. Senior Airman Fortson's service and sacrifice will not be forgotten. We must honor his memory by working to build a society where tragedies like this no longer occur, and where every person's life, dignity and humanity is equally valued and protected.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💝🖤
MY CONDENCES TO THE FAMILY THIS YOUNG MAN SHOULD STILL BE HERE THESE. RASIST WHITE COPS HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
This is heartbreaking
Modern day Emmett till too. And what happened to the lady that😢 called the polico karen. She's probably at home laughing about the whole thing.
She just didn't like him. keen observation .
🤣🤣🤣
Prayers for comfort In the name of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏
My condolences all the families and the gifted boy he is I'll be at your funeral whatching on tv❤😂
Senior Airman Roger Fortson" I salute you and thank you first for serving our country. It terribly saddens me on this tragic accident that has everyone wondering what the heck happened this day? The video sets you Free! A homeowner, resident or American Citizen or Soldier has the right to have their gun on them and defend themselve in their own Home or if they feel threatened in State Of Florida. I am so saddened and so very sorry to see a young Patriot Military man who defends our COUNTRY gunned down in this video. This Deputy was most likely fearful for his life. But there should been a command drop your gun before unloading all his bullets to a man who had this gun by his side and in his own home! God Speed to Mr. Roger Fortson. USN RET
🇺🇸 TO A FELLOW VETERAN 🇺🇸
🕯 What was done in darkness will come to light. 🕯
So sad sending sincere Condolences to his Mother, Father all Family members and friends,for this senseless killing, another life taken too soon,God be with you all,Praying for justice, Rest in peace Roger🕊🙏🏽'Gone too soon'
Sending my sincere condolences to the family 🌹, I am so sorry for the loss.
May The Most High YAH continue to bless you all during this time. I pray your comfort 🙌🏾📖 and wish you Shalom! ❤️
Sad story they say his life don't matter the law had all the rights in the world to do what he do no matter what
was breaking down the whole event with his mother standing there really necessary?
Especially showing the dog next to him at the door
God Bless This Family,In The Name Of The Father, The Son And The Holy Spirit ❤
My heart truly goes out to this young man family and it's a shame that all these leaches looking for publicity on the behalf of this strong soldier....Rest in Power my young brother 🙏
What happened? 😮
I wonder if Rev Al or Joy Reid said something I know when it happen3d and a couple of days after, nothing !
When so many of our young men are given a bad wrap for not living right this young man had served our country and was taking out like an alien we have to do better by black people we are citizens and good people not all of us are criminals don’t label us all the same just prey and keep preying and keep fighting for what’s right for black people
It’s proof it never mattered what we do!!!!
The public trust has been damaged!
Having a weapon, does not deem worthy of an execution. The thought of maiming or crippling the individual would at least give Roger the opportunity to learn some lesson and also give the opportunity to explain his side of the situation. This was wrong!
The lady said there’s a disturbance what if he is also aware of the same disturbance? He was on guard due to flight or fight mode.
Aim to maim not to kill!
This happened two weeks ago tomorrow. I was upset because no one in Black media talked about it for almost a week after it happned they talked I was pulling info from CNN and AP but nothing here for a long time ....
Vote Joe Biden Democrat 2024
Please vote Democrat 🗳
Fuck Joe Biden he didn't say anything about this brother
Were are the second amendment folks, silent just as I thought. Because those folks along with cops feel that the second amendment only applies to certain people. Silence is bliss.
Ben crump is an ambulance chaser
White Supremacy is Violence!

Truth. Always has been.
You do know the mother called him.
@@geraldineallen8060Nope, pastor Jamal Bryant called him.
Don't open the door to police with a gun after he anounced himself and could be seen through the peep hole and this will not happen, simple
When the officer arrived at the door. This officer was constantly moving back and forth in front of the door. It appears the young man may have not seen the officer. Because of the officer was moving quickly. The young may have been suspicious who was at the door. He legally armed himself. It appeared that some point the young man was convinced that it was a law enforcement officer at the door. He casually opens the door. He may inadvertently forget to place his weapon away. It appears by the information presented that the police officer came to ((wrong address)). Home invaders have been known to impersonate the police. An Airman of the United States Airforce. Highly respected by his peers was properly trained on how to use firearms and he would be the last individual not to follow the legal commands from a law enforcement officer. Police Officers are trained in a certain manner on how to announce themselves when there at someone's home. This police officer did not follow his training. How do I know this. I was a police officer and now I'm retired. You have a nice day.
Boom 💥 love your response
