The death of a Florida man is getting national attention. Pedro Pierre dragged a Florida deputy on the ground. Another deputy shot and killed him. |
Broward County Boys shot and killed a man after he was caught on camera overpowering one of their own.
This is getting national attention. Besides the assault on the officer, the guy was unarmed and they didn't deploy use of a Taser.
Pedro Pierre was a father of five and his life mattered just as the cops who shot him. Once again this place into question, what transpired for this to happen.
The cops claim that even though he was unarmed, they choose to use lethal force in order to prevent Pierre from taking the service weapon.
The Broward County Boys came to an apartment in the Fort Lauderdale area and was confronted by Pierre.
“Step back for who?” Pierre responded.
“Step back,” the deputy said.
“For who? For you?” Pierre said.
“What’s his problem,” the deputy asked.
Then of course the officer was tackled to the ground and dragged.
“Back down, man,” the deputy said while retreating. “What is wrong with you? Stand down!”
Then a surveillance video showed Pierre striking the deputy and kicking him as the deputy tried to use a baton to defend himself.
“Settle down!” the deputy shouted. “Tell me what is wrong!”
Pierre grabbed hold of the deputy’s foot and a sort of odd standstill ensued.
“Let me go of my leg, sir,” the deputy demanded.
Seconds later, another deputy arrived to help.
“Get your hands up! Get down,” the second deputy repeated.
That deputy’s body camera showed his encounter as Pierre ignored commands to stop his aggressive behavior. Pierre continued kicking the deputy on the ground and when he let go, he appeared to charge after the other deputy.
That’s when three shots rang out and Pierre fell to the ground in the parking lot at the Sunset Hills condominium.
“Shots fired,” the deputy said on his radio.
So what happens next?The county boys are defending this. They claim that regardless of what happened, the cop did the right call.
The name of the officer wasn't released to the press. As usual, the junk food media obtains the arrest and medical records of
Now you know the Republicans continue to defend bad cops. They will justify this killing by saying he should have not attacked the cop. When we ask them if there could have been other methods, they often reply in negative fashion.

Another video shows the officer firing a taser. The bottom line is SOMEONE in his apartment complex or where he worked or whatever knew the man had mental problems. The police were as passive as possible. But men and women do not sign up to the police force to be beaten and killed. Citizens should obey police orders, but if not, they certainly should not be aggressive with police like this guy. No sympathy that he is dead.
