If the government (the police) can shoot a citizen holding a gun, pointed at the floor, in their own home do we really have the right to bear arms?

This is Roger Fortson — a 23-year-old active-duty Senior Airman who was shot 6X by a Florida officer last Friday. We are calling for transparency in the investigation into Roger’s death and the IMMEDIATE release of bodycam video to the family.

Just saw the body cam video of police killing Airman Roger Fortson.

They knocked on his door, Roger opened it, & within 1 second the cop raised his firearm & shot Fortson 6 times and killed him. No commands. No deescalation. Just cold blooded execution in broad daylight. Horrid.
