A woman said she heard a domestic disturbance from that apartment.  She also stated, according to the 911 caller, having heard similar things in the past coming from the same apartment.  The 911 caller is the one that stated she had heard a DV assault 2 weeks prior but was unsure of the exact address at the time and didn’t call.  



I do wish people would call more often when they see stuff versus waiting until someone else calls then coming out and telling me that they saw the suspect at a point where we could have caught them but decided to “mind their own business”. If you view that as being a “snitch” then that’s your issue to deal with





IIRC his girlfriend is said to live in Atlanta and is refusing to talk to FDLE about what happened.  As a result it is possible that the other resident hears the pair arguing via FaceTime. If that is the case, and the woman had called 911 instead of the office there’d be more info for the responding deputies to work with.   They would still knock the door but would have an idea of what might be going on.

Interesting world you live in where you want the police called more often.  When does calling the police EVER make a situation better? I personally would have a hard time being the person who called the police that shot this boy.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Dude was an AC-130 gunner, survived doing hardcore shit in the Middle East just to be murdered on American soil by some goon with a gun and the backing of the largest gang in America.

Anyone defending this cop in any way should be getting an account lock in my humble opinion, but we all know that isn’t how it’s going to go. They’ll come in here and say the most ridiculous, freedom-hating, insane shit about how cops can do no wrong even in cases like this, and if anyone says anything to them that they deserve to be told, those are the people who will get punished.

Put me on your “list”, nerds. Not my first time being put on a list by tyrants and their supporters and it won’t be the last.

We'll never see eye to eye on this and that's OK. I can discuss the legalities of something and other finer details of a situation without defending it or attacking it. Something can be lawful and we can also not like it.

I'll take your word for it. But I'll just say, having participated in possibly hundreds of discussions like this, sometimes people take explanations for something as defending or excusing it. When really people are just trying to explain how something happened. That doesn't mean they're excusing it.

If it's legal then it doesn't matter how much you don't like it.  Because you get what you accept.

It's sickening that this is what reasonable officers would do.

Something I'm curious about if you, or any other cops on here, would like to answer.

When a cop in your department fucks up like this guy did, or violates someone's rights and is called on it successfully (charges dropped, apology issued, lawsuit won etc.), or the hard chargers that get baited in on YouTube until a supervisor tells them to shut the hell up and they're in the wrong. Anything along those lines.

How do other officers generally react and treat them back at the station or in private settings?

If in a case like this; guys would be sayiing "damn, he fucked up" while reading the news story about the department arresting him.  When we had a two guys in my agency get popped for running protection for a dope dealer we were livid when we read the indictment and saw the crap they were doing. We were even more angry cause their actions caused us to have numerous cases dismissed if they had any involvement in them whatsoever (even if they only drove a van that took us to the scene of a search warrant service) and put us in danger on more than one occasion.  

The few run-ins with YouTards we have had had us be in the right so I can't comment on someone screwing that up.   When we have had issues with questionable searches we have gone to the supervisors and its been resolved via different means to include guys being cited for termination or sent back through an applicable block of the police academy (and being on performance probation).

f you have a problem guy that continues to be an issue he is shunned until he quits (getting canceled off a call he is already on scene for, having an additional officer show up to help the non-fuck up). There have even been times we have gone to the media and filed law suits against the agency for problems.

What are you trying to say with calling the cops on an earlier date? Are you still subscribing to the airman being guilty of any sort of DV previously?

Seems to me that the entry requirements should require an extensive psychological profile compiled by an unbiased third party (not the department//government), and that profile should be updated/reviewed throughout any career as a means of heading off problems and/or removing them.

Maybe body cams ought to be controlled by an unbiased third party, too? They go on at the start of the "shift," stay on the entire time, and are turned in at the end of the "shift." Less chance of anything being missed for both sides. A copy of any/all recordings would always be available to LE, but they will never possess the sole copy. If you aren't doing anything wrong...

So you expect them to record every time the officer goes to the bathroom, has a phone call with his SO or kids, etc? No privacy at all when he's not on a call?

Neither is shooting someone just for having a gun in their own home, and yet that’s exactly what this officer, his department, and his supporters are claiming in this thread.

Keep covering unreasonable actions under the “reasonable officer standard”, prepare for actions you don’t like to be used to correct that behavior.

They could have possible spoken with him and, as an example, found out his girlfriend leaves in Atlanta, they were having issues and argue via FaceTime. Or he could say that it’s actually a neighbor that argues all the time.  It basically gives the deputies a prior contact with the guy.  

It also lets him become familiar with the police knock and reduces the chances of him coming to the door with a gun in hand.  

Hell it might not have changed anything

The only way I can think of that would have changed anything is the random chance that it was a different officer that did things different than Deputy QuickDraw.  According to the latest information there had been no prior calls to that apartment.   But okay, thanks for the reply.

Maybe body cams ought to be controlled by an unbiased third party, too? They go on at the start of the "shift," stay on the entire time, and are turned in at the end of the "shift." Less chance of anything being missed for both sides. A copy of any/all recordings would always be available to LE, but they will never possess the sole copy. If you aren't doing anything wrong...


So you expect them to record every time the officer goes to the bathroom, has a phone call with his SO or kids, etc? No privacy at all when he's not on a call?

I'm not a TBL'er by any stretch but that's not even close to reasonable

I'd be OK with a felony conviction for tampering with evidence if he ever 'forgets' to turn on his BWC as an alternative.

A woman said she heard a domestic disturbance from that apartment.  She also stated, according to the 911 caller, having heard similar things in the past coming from the same apartment.  The 911 caller is the one that stated she had heard a DV assault 2 weeks prior but was unsure of the exact address at the time and didn’t call.

He has to have you muted or just ignoring you because he hasn’t answered anything you’ve said for the past two pages as far as I can tell.

What did the disturbance actually end up being? Was he having an argument over the phone with his girlfriend?

If so, I doubt she and Ben Crump are eager to tell us about it.

If not so, the two likely possibilities are that it came from the apartment with a gazillion recent domestic disturbance calls, or that the complaintant is full of shit.

Interesting world you live in where you want the police called more often.  When does calling the police EVER make a situation better? I personally would have a hard time being the person who called the police that shot this boy.

I agree.  Too many law enforcement are lazy and incompetent at best and corrupt egotistical bullies at worst.  Don’t call unless you will get in legal trouble if you do not.  Best to keep them at a distance.

Watching the outpouring of support for this murdered airman really drives home the point he was murdered by a coward.

But, wasn’t there was a statement released that confirmed that the two were on the phone while the pounding on the door was occurring? If he was home alone, then the argument causing the disturbance must have taken place over the phone.

Unless, the argument occurred in the apartment and then she left during the response time.

The description of the “disturbance” was a male and a female arguing, correct?

Are you assuming that the 'sounds of domestic disturbance' actually occurred, and that they came from Fortson's apartment?

Because at this point, both of those statements require assuming facts not in evidence.

She’s talked to Crump and that’s it.   You can take a look at his statement and draw what you will from it at this point.    Unless something has changed she hasn’t spoken to investigators or made a public statement.  

According to current info they were FaceTiming  when the shooting happened.

And since only the cops here say acab that means that the cops are OK with their bwc running all the time.
