A deputy in Brevard County, Florida shot and killed two teens, newly released dashcam footage shows. The local sheriff’s office said the official was in harm’s way. An attorney for the family of the deceased, however, said the teens were in fear for their lives.

Angelo Crooms, 16, and Sincere Pierce, 18 were shot and killed in a November 13, 2020 incident. Newly released footage from the dashcam of Deputy Jafet Santiago-Miranda showed at least two sheriff’s patrol vehicles following a gray sedan. The sedan stopped temporarily in a local driveway. Deputies stopped behind the vehicle, and authorities stepped out with their guns drawn. The gray sedan backed out of the driveway and turned around, facing the patrol vehicles. It briefly backed up again, and then went forward when a male deputy opened fire multiple times at the car. The gray vehicle rolled out of frame.

“After reviewing the limited footage released by Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, it is painfully troubling to us that this teen driver and the teen backseat passenger were terrified and drove around deputies who approached the vehicle with guns draw,” attorney Benjamin Crump said in a statement released Thursday afternoon. “Believe your own eyes. The video shows the deputy was still shooting as the car cleared him and posed no threat.”

Believe your own eyes is pretty much what the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said as well, but to different effect. They said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating, and that the sheriff’s office was limited in what they could release, but they did say the incident happened as part of a follow-up investigation on what deputies thought could be a stolen car that had recently fled from another deputy.

8. I don't care if it's a 100,000 vehicle...not

Cops have now become judge and jury in all their death penalty decisions.

Change NEEDS to come!

6. I'm waiting for info on the stolen vehicle
