Washington: A Florida sheriff's deputy recklessly abused his powers in the US. A black Air Force airman was killed. According to reports, Florida sheriff's deputies accidentally entered the wrong apartment. Fortson was present at the time with his girlfriend, who is a nurse. Was communicating with him on 'Face-Time'.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said Sheriff Eric Eden of the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office received a tip that there was a disturbance in the area. So he sent his deputy there.
In this regard, Ben Crump further stated that the flat which his deputy had entered did not belong to the flat which the deputy had gone to investigate, but belonged to Fortson. Fortson was talking to his girlfriend on Face-Time when the shooting occurred. That girlfriend heard all the voices. First came the sound of hands banging on the door of the apartment. Then Fortson asked who it was. Then the nurse saw her boyfriend take out his gun. There were gunshots and Roger Fortson was hit by bullets.
Civil rights attorney Crump has called for a full investigation of the May 3 incident. In fact, there is anger in America now regarding such incidents. In 2020, a black man named George Floyd was murdered by the police.
