He killed a man, he goes to prison. That hopefully will be what happens.

He reportedly never knew the cops were at his door, thus the gun. He could not see the cop when he first checked the peephole; didn't see anyone there. Due to walls, couldn't hear what was being said. All he knew was there were a couple of increasingly aggressive knocks on the door and some muffled shouting at it.
I'm no pretending to know better than others, but, based on reports and the video I saw, I also don’t think it's a coincidence this was an Oskaloosa Deputy involved in another incident of poor decision making.

I came home the other day some tenager (hispanic kid, we're white) I've bever seen popped out of my house as I rounded the garage towards the door. No other cars in my driveway, middle of the day when kids are at school. My first thought is "WTF ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE" and he's 5ft. away. I was ready to grab him up. Nothing in his hands, not looking sketchy, surprised, or in a hurry. My son pops out a few seconds later...
Came home for lunch, kid parked across the street where I wouldn't notice. No gun on me but was ready to pop him one. At that moment I had 0 clue he was my son's friend, never seen him in my life. All it took was a .3 second assessment to figure out my life and property is not in danger.
Not exactly the same situation as the cop, but firearms are not illegal and there was no sign of break in etc. I think i would have taken cover immediately rather than shoot. YMMV

Despite my earlier snark, what are the odds the FBI looks into the Okaloosa Sheriff's Department? You have two high profile shooting cases, one of which resulted in a fatality. Of a Black man. A servicemember. In an election year?
And when the officer told him to step back, wasn't he complying? He never raised the weapon and the officer had partial cover.
The family's attorney?
US airman shot and killed by police in Florida
It won't bring their son back, but that family's going to get an 8-figure direct deposit out of this.

Thanks for the correction.
Fucking tyrants
No surprised, 1st thing a mediocre defense attorney would ask for is copies of the 9-1-1 calls.
Hard to believe how stupid some cops still are.

Revoke POST certification indefinitely.
So they have several officers openly conspiring to falsely charge the man and let me guess? They kept their jobs?
(5 minutes on the internet later)
Yeah, cleared by IA of any wrongdoing and the IA captain later became the head of the CT State Police.

It's not just Jersey - these fucking lawyer types are everywhere - thinking they should get special treatment because they know their rights...
Don't want to answer my stupid question you irritating little citizen person - fine you're under arrest.
Stop resisting.
Why wont you answer my questions.
Stop resisting.
You know what you did lady - ADMIT IT
Stop resisting
You have the right to remain silent.
Stop resisting.
Are you going to answer me or not?
Stop resisting...
Perhaps that lady (I know I shouldn't assume gender, but, whatever) should have just done as she was told...
...WHEN SHE WAS TOLD
...how dare her not pay respect to a lawman
...how dare her not admit to her dirty law breaking ways
...how dare her not offer up an admission of the evil that she must have done to get pulled over
...dont start nuttin' lady, and there won't be nuttin'
Now here we are - society is 30,000 dollars in the hole and a shitty driver is back out on the streets unpunished and free to speed again
...or change lanes without signaling
...or failing to yield
...or turning right on red
...or whatever law breaking she did to get pulled over in the first place
...SKREEE
...SKREEE
...SKREEE
...SKREEE
...BACK THE BLUE MOTHER FUCKERS
BACK THE BLUE
Then again, lets assume for a minute that that all she did was commit a minor traffic infraction that could have been solved in less than 5 minutes with a "here's your ticket, drive safely and have a good evening"
...but nope
...that lady refused to respect a bully
...and bullies gravitate to places that allow them to bully.
...and what was that about standing up top a bully?
Pfft - that shit grandpa always told you about standing up to bullies is horse shit
...stand up to a bully with a shiny piece of tin on their shirt - and your ass is going to jail
...maybe you'll even get lucky and learn what it feel like to get tazed
...or pepper sprayed
...or fucking beat with a stick because you wouldn't "stop resisting"
...real bullies do not back down when you stand up to them
...real bullies double down when you stand up to them
...those folks you're grandpa was telling you about are nothing more than punks
...punks back down when you stand up to them - bullies put you in hand cuffs
At least that's what I've heard

That dude needs someone to follow him to a bariatric clinic... This guy couldn't conduct a foot pursuit from his car to the chocolate fountain at Golden Corral.
Then there's this douche.

You know how those of us in the Gen X crowd talk about "Sure am glad we didn't cell phones in my day" because of all the dumb shit we did? Similar vibes here at times. The best part about that first clip is what are the odds anything happened to Butterbean McGreasyfingers? What? Sergeant Mackey there pushed him off with "yelling is bad, mmmkay? Don't do that again or I'll have to warn you again, mmkay?"

I'll be honest, if we had cell phones "back in my day" I would be divorced and in prison. That said, they have probably busted more corrupt cops than any attorney out there.
