Eboni Pouncy: When the Cops Use Excessive Force #police #lawyer

These deputies approach this apartment in the middle of the night. Ebony Pouncey is inside and of course, this is Texas. She has a firearm. She's legally armed. Ebony starts to hear some commotion going on outside the front porch area near the front door. So she's armed, afraid somebody else might be trying to come in. So what does she do? Let's watch the body camera footage.

These deputies open fire. And I don't mean just a few shots.

They literally unload multiple clips over 40 rounds Let's watch the body camera footage. These deputies open fire. And I don't mean just a few shots.

They literally unload multiple clips over 40 rounds through the door and through the window. And I need you to think about this for a second. She was inside a home she had every right to be in. She was holding a firearm she had a right to hold. She was posing no threat to those officers.

At no time did she point the actual weapon at the officers and the officers were behind the door and during this entire time the weapon that Ms. Pouncey had was pointed to the ground. And put yourself in Ebony's shoes. She didn't even know these people outside her front door were deputies. For all she knew, they were a bunch of people trying to make their way were deputies. For all she knew, they were a bunch of people trying to make their way into the house and take everything they have.
