Florida Deputy Fired for Fatally Shooting Black Airman
TL;DR
A Florida deputy, Eddie Duran, was fired after an internal investigation deemed his use of deadly force against Black Air Force airman Roger Fortson "not objectively reasonable." Fortson was shot six times in his apartment after Duran responded to a 911 call about a domestic disturbance, which turned out to be a mistake. The incident has sparked widespread outcry and calls for further justice.
