I’ve been wondering if this was a tragic error. The victim doesn’t know if he’s being spoofed by a civilian-looking guy who may be a criminal and the cop goes hot when he sees a weapon.
Dunno. Don’t know how we’ll ever know, for sure. Is there video of the incident from the unmarked car dash?
Article says no dash cam cuz it was an unmarked cop car.
None whatsoever. Most likely, the officer approached with gun drawn and Mr. Jones thought he was about to be robbed or murdered.
Life lesson. Shoot first.
Tragic?
It’s criminal. Florida has had legal concealed carry since the late 1980s. No peace officer anywhere in the State of Florida has any excuse not to know that the citizens may be legally armed. This POS own testimony condemns him. He went looking for trouble, and created it. Then he killed an innocent man in cold blood.
Away with him. The Gurney and the Needle await.
