Many people outside central Florida(including about 95% of the national media) are aware of other use of force events or situations where an "unarmed" subject inflicted serious injuries to an armed person or 493 license holder.
WFTV-TV, the Orlando ABC station;
www.wftv.com , made a point about a 2005 incident where 2 armed-G security officers in Sanford Florida shot & killed a "unarmed" subject who reportedly drove a vehicle at both guards in a dispute.
A big uproar in the community led the local Florida State Atty office to bring criminal charges against the security guards. One officer had all charges dropped & the other later was set free by a jury trial.
There was another major incident in Orlando in 2009/2010 I recall where a uniformed female deputy(Orange County,
www.OCSO.com ), chased an "unarmed" male out of a Home Depot. The larger male subject attacked the patrol deputy beat her, then pounded her head into the pavement. The sworn deputy was in a ICU for several days & suffered a TBI(brain injury) from the attack. This incident was not mentioned by any local or national media network,
.
Use of force events can occur with unarmed subjects. The smart move is to be aware of the law & legal precidents in your area. Don't be swayed by media hype, chaos or bias either. Many people have agendas or distort facts.
As the old saying states: In war, the first causality is the truth.
