Florida Police Shoot Unarmed Black Man In His Front Yard


"This weekend, deputies from Escambia County, Florida shot an unarmed man who went to grab cigarettes from the car parked in the driveway of his mother's home. A neighbor called police at 2 a.m. because he suspected 60-year-old Roy Middleton was stealing the car. Things quickly escalated when two deputies arrived and ordered Middleton to "get your hands where I can see them."*

60-year old Roy Middleton was shot by police officers "like a firing squad" after he went to get cigarettes from his mother's car from the driveway of their home. Then, police officers were called to the scene and shot the unarmed man as he was complying with their orders. This all comes fresh after the controversial Trayvon Martin/ George Zimmerman verdict. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss.
