"A Volusia County Sheriff's deputy shot an unarmed man in the face while serving a drug warrant on Wednesday.
Deputies say Derek Cruice, 26, resisted arrest during the incident at his Deltona, Florida home. Cruice's friends, six of whom were at the house when a SWAT team entered, called the fatal shooting "murder."
At 6:32 a.m., Deputy Todd Raible, 36, fired one shot, hitting Cruice in the face as he stood inside the doorway, police told WFTV.
Cruice was pronounced dead a short time later at an area hospital.
"They were met with resistance and a shooting incurred," Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson told My News 13."

The man shot was unarmed and only wearing shorts how threatening could he of been to a man with body armor and a gun.

I'm afraid that if citizens don't demand accountability and fewer psychotic cops from the civilian leadership, people are going to fight back in the streets. That will be good for no one, cops or the people in the streets, but it seems inevitable if we remain on our current trajectory.

I thought that was what happened in Pennsylvania a while ago with the two cops being shot at shift change.

(133 posts)Something is very wrong in America today. These young people coming back from war zones desensitized to death and killing. Ex-military should not be hired as "Peace officers" But, The RepubliCONS like hiring trained killers as Police. It just keeps getting worse.What will it take to stop the insanity of the RepubliCON Ideals that will kill us all.

If you have a badge, you can shoot someone in the face, like their life never mattered at all, like they were subhuman trash.. this has got to stop.
