What Happened To Bryan Richardson?

Florida cops shoot Bryan Richardson. He was armed but never fired or pointed at them.

The Florida State Authorities are now handling a case involving a Florida sheriff's deputy shooting a man who held a gun in his hand. The incident has sparked outrage. The man, Bryan Richardson was trying to protect his brother after he was shot. The deputy didn't waste a moment to shoot Bryan over eight times.

Bryan and his brother Dylan Jimenez were both pronounced dead at a local Orlando hospital.

So what happened?

The Orange County Sheriff's Department received a call of gunfire near a hotel on Orange Blossom Trail. The Heritage Hotel had notified the law that there was a man on the ground.

The deputies arrive to see Dylan on the ground bleeding. The first responders were trying to treat the wounded Dylan when someone said another person had a gun. Bryan had his firearm held down. The deputy told him to drop the gun and then opened fire when he didn't comply. A female officer was able to grab the gun.

The deputy did not give Bryan adequate time to drop his firearm. Bryan never pointed his firearm at the deputies nor he was the shooter of Dylan. Another man was shot by one of the deceased. He will survive his injuries.

Now the attorney representing Bryan is calling the shooting unnecessary.

For one thing, Bryan said before he was shot by this deputy, "that's my brother..."

Ada Blaker said losing her children right before her eyes hurts the most. She it will be difficult to recover from losing both her children.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.

Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.

Barely a second to put down his gun and this cop shot him.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
