Deputies responding to a disturbance call at a Florida apartment complex burst into the wrong unit and fatally shot a Black U.S. Air Force airman who was home alone when they saw he was armed with a gun, an attorney for the man’s family said Wednesday.
Senior Airman Roger Fortson, 23, who was based at the Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field, was in his off-base apartment in Fort Walton Beach when the shooting happened on May 3.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said in a statement that Fortson was on a Facetime call with a woman at the time of the encounter.
wait what? the cops were addressing a noise complaint and that, somehow, gave them permission to break into someone’s home? (never mind they got the wrong home to begin with)

Someone heard another acorn drop.
You would think they would realize it was the wrong house when they showed up and it was quiet
