When it comes to the trust of law enforcement, it’ll always remain f*** 12 by black folks demanding justice.
The 2014 shooting of unarmed Jerry Brown was ignored since 2014 and in 2020, the video that was sealed shows otherwise.
These cops justified his death all because Brown refused to raise his hands while ignoring repeated orders. Who the hell decides to shoot if a black man is unarmed? White racist cops and the word assumption is apart of their trigger happy DNA. Even if a black man follows orders, he’ll have bullets in his back before told to reach for his driver’s license.
“The Sheriff’s Office has repeatedly declined to release the portion of the video depicting the shooting. Today such videos are public records in Florida, but they were exempt from release in 2014, when this video was recorded,” per the Tampa Bay Times.
The video was recorded from the driver’s seat, directly next to Brown. It does not appear to show deputies giving Brown time to surrender.
In all, about 11 seconds pass between the time deputies approach the car and the final shot in the back.
U.S. District Court Judge William F. Jung, who presided over the lawsuit by Brown’s widow, also described the video as “troubling” in an order.
“The ‘take down’ did not happen as planned, and Brown was dead or dying about 10 seconds after it started,” Jung wrote.
He said Brown appeared to have been “shocked” by the thumping and yelling and presence of the officers. Jung noted that Brown’s pills were found after the shooting in his right pocket.
“Deputies have maintained that consistent, clear commands were given to Brown, who defied them,” Jung wrote. “This is not accurate. The commands were almost entirely indecipherable. Green’s command before Green shot was audible, but left no time for compliance.”
It’s sad how racist whites do black folks and suppress the truth in their wickedness. Paco County Sheriffs’ are full of s*** and that’s the truth.
