Original Note:
SrA Fortson did not “pull a gun on a cop”. He was holding a pistol at his side and it was pointed at the ground. He did not point it or make a threatening gesture at any point before being shot. The presence of a firearm alone does not meet the criteria for deadly force. https://apnews.com/article/florida-deputy-black-airman-killed-fortson-5b97a30b51272413346b255235f3ba70
