I assume this means former Deputy Duran was fired.
Police need to show occupants that they are really police before the occupant opens the door. Running a siren and lights would be a good idea.
Never open your door to a stranger without first making sure of who and what he is.
We also need severe penalties for making false police reports (swatting).
” was responding to a false, anonymous tip”
I want to know who swatted him.
2)..Why hire a person to be a cop that is scared to death of the general public?
3)unglued person one meet unglued person 2..
4)Shoot first ask questions later seemed to be the first thing in both men's minds. One of them was quicker on the draw.
Any time a uniformed “public servant” assaults someone, invades someone’s property, threatens someone, or in any other way violates that person, the “public servant” does so “WITH A DEADLY WEAPON”. Punishment of the criminal “public servant” needs to be adjusted accordingly.
AirMAN, nor Airmen’...............Lived up the street from me.................
That's how I open my door when not expecting someone, (like folks coming over for a Bible study, etc).
NOPE.
No search warrant? No arrest warrant? No exigent circumstances?
Half of the sheriffs are below average.
How many airmen were shot? The title implies more than one.
Initially reading the title, I first assumed that it meant that the former deputy was shooting at airplanes (and the pilots) from his (the deputy's) home. From his front porch maybe?
Then I assumed that the former deputy had shot the airmen (plural?) in his (the deputy's) home ... like a home invasion?
I know .. I know .. I'm so easily confused these days.
Never open the door. Peep hole, talk through it.
I agree but this has to be a winner in the WEIRD names category - “his mother Chantemekki”. I’m sorry but that’s just plain weird....
WOW! Reminds me of a police raid from 1971! Anyone remember it?

Opening the door to your own home with a weapon ‘brandished’ and not brought to bear is foolish, no matter the details.
Regardless the officer’s poor decisions and the circumstances of his call to the address, there are lessons to be learned from such an encounter. Forston also made poor decisions (based upon the article details).
I mean, holy cow: A peephole is a lousy 5-10 bucks and wi-fi camera options start at under 20.

I want to know WHO made the “SWAT” call on Fortson!
They need to find that person and charge him/her with 1st degree murder.
Re “…false, anonymous tip”:
Sounds like someone had it in for the victim…
Poorly written headline, but yeah, this is not kosher.
Circumstances created a situation that wasn’t really good for anybody, but there is no law against answering your door with a firearm in hand.
As soon as I saw the video back when this happened I knew it was a bad shooting. That deputy must have had a severe itch in his trigger finger. There was absolutely no justification for his actions.
The death penalty for cold blooded murder should be for ALL who do it.
LEO’s should not be exempt.
