Okay, but guns are legal. Unless he had the gun pointed at police then there was no reason to shoot.
Was he pointing the gun at other people or police?
They stopped it before the shooting, did he pull the gun on them? He had the gun, yes. But did he point the gun at the police. Guns are not illegal
Half them racist cops were Mexican too
they better fast track that investigation., because if Trump wins any federal case dealing with shitty cops will quietly go away.

A woman in Illinois was fatally shot by law enforcement last week after calling authorities because she was scared an intruder was in her home, according to her family’s attorney.
Sonya Massey, 36, died after an early-morning encounter with deputies from the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office in Springfield on July 6, according to a news release from Illinois State Police, which is investigating at the request of the sheriff’s office.
State police said body camera footage and other information tied to the case is not immediately being released to “protect the integrity of the legal process.”
In separate news releases, state police and the sheriff’s office said deputies arrived at a home on the 2800 block of Hoover Avenue shortly before 1 a.m. following a 911 call. The sheriff’s office said it was called over a report of a prowler.
Massey was shot during the incident and declared dead at an area hospital, state police said Wednesday.
In its statement the day of the shooting, the sheriff’s office said two deputies searched the area and at about 1:21 a.m. “the Deputies reported that shots had been fired, resulting in a female being struck by gunfire.”
No deputies were injured, the sheriff’s office said.
No additional details about what led up to the shooting were released by either agency.
Ben Crump, an attorney for Massey’s family, said in a statement Thursday that the shooting occurred after Massey called law enforcement because “she thought there was an intruder in her home.”
“It is extremely hard to imagine how a woman who calls the police out of fear of an intruder ends up shot in the head by police at her own home,” Crump said in the statement. “We demand that all body camera footage from this incident be released immediately so that Sonya’s family and the public can see what happened in those thirty deadly minutes. No family should have to endure the pain and suffering that Sonya’s loved ones are experiencing right now.”
Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Sangamon County Building on Friday to call for justice, according to local reports. Massey’s mother, Donna Massey, was also in attendance.
A representative for the Illinois State Police declined additional comment Friday. No one with the county sheriff’s office could immediately be reached for comment Friday.
Sheriff Jack Campbell said in a statement posted to Facebook on Wednesday afternoon that it is “imperative” the sheriff’s office “protect the integrity of the investigation by waiting for the determination from ISP.”
“My normal procedure is to respond to inquiries and to give public statements in regard to major events. And as an elected official, that is always my instinct,” Campbell said in the post. “In this case, it would not be appropriate. I’m asking for the public and the media to be patient as we seek the facts surrounding this tragic event.”
The Illinois State Police said they are working closely with the Sangamon County State’s Attorney’s Office in its investigation.

Man this thread is a lot. I can't come in here to often. I haven't been paying attention to these incidents, but it doesn't mean the shit ain't still going on. 
The Florida deputy who shot U.S. airman Roger Fortson has been fired

The Florida deputy who shot and killed 23-year-old Roger Fortson in his home earlier this month has been fired.
In a news release Friday, the Okaloosa County, Fla., Sheriff’s Department said that Deputy Eddie Duran was fired following the completion of an administrative internal affairs investigation amid Fortson’s death, which concluded that Duran's use of deadly force was not "objectively reasonable" and therefore violated agency policy.
The sheriff’s office said it is “limited in scope” to determine whether Duran violated the agency’s policy.
“This tragic incident should have never occurred,” Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden said in the release. “The objective facts do not support the use of deadly force as an appropriate response to Mr. Fortson’s actions. Mr. Fortson did not commit any crime. By all accounts, he was an exceptional airman and individual.”
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is one of several attorneys representing Fortson's family, said in a statement Friday that while Duran's firing is a "step forward," it is not full justice for Fortson and his family.
"The actions of this deputy were not just negligent, they were criminal," Crump said.
"Just as we did for Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, and Breonna Taylor, we will continue to fight for full justice and accountability for Roger Fortson, as well as every other innocent Black man and woman gunned down by law enforcement in the presumed safety of their own home," he added.
Fortson was shot and killed on May 3 during an incident involving the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office. According to authorities, the sheriff's office sent deputies to Fortson's apartment in response to a disturbance call.
Fortson was alone in his apartment FaceTiming with his girlfriend when the deputy approached his door, according to his family's lawyers.
In body cam footage of the incident, a deputy is seen knocking on the door and announcing himself as law enforcement. Fortson then appears while holding a gun pointed toward the ground. The deputy, who was later identified as Duran, immediately fired shots multiple times. Fortson later died in the hospital.
Aden, following the shooting, said that Duran reacted in self-defense after encountering an "armed man." Duran was later put on paid administrative leave, a standard protocol by the sheriff's department following an investigation and administrative review.
In a recording Crump played during a news conference on May 16, a police dispatch officer is heard saying that the disturbance involved "a male and a female," information he said came via a fourth-party from the front desk of the apartment complex.
"When you make a mistake, you own up to it," Crump told reporters. "You don't try to justify killing a good guy. The Okaloosa Sheriff's Department needs to own up to this. Tell the truth."
In an interview with NPR, Fortson's mother, Chantimekki Fortson, and Brian Barr, another family attorney, questioned the deputy's training as they demanded more transparency around the case.
"He served his family, he served the country, served his friends," Barr said. "And it's just such a tragedy, from all angles that — living this life of service doing what he was told to do — he was killed because he opened the door."
Chantimekki told NPR that her son's death has deeply affected her family in many ways — including, she said, how his nieces and nephews now react to the presence of police.
"When my grandkids see the police, they literally start vomiting," she said. "I've taught them to respect the police because of the chaos that goes on and the fact that they get sick to their stomach, it's crazy."
An investigation led by Florida's Department of Law Enforcement is still ongoing. The state attorney's office will determine if any further action is taken.
