WATCH: Florida Deputy Fatally Shoots Unarmed Man During Altercation

About a domestic disturbance on December 7.

“They’re gonna shoot you, man,” onlookers shout at Jean Pedro Pierre as he holds Broward County deputy Sean Youngward’s ankle.

“Let him go. You’re gonna get yourself in bad trouble. There’s a lot more coming, man.”

Pierre, 42, kicks deputy Youngward’s thigh a few times before back up deputy Steven Briggs arrives with  his gun drawn.

“Tase him! Tase him! Don’t shoot him,” voices can be heard pleading with deputy Briggs.

Youngward tries to break away from Pierre by striking at him with his Baton as Pierre holds his ankle.

Eventually, Pierre drops Youngward’s leg and attempts to run away.

That’s when Briggs opens fire, dropping Pierre to the ground.

The video, which was taken by Romeo Pericles, shows Pierre still alive, laying on the ground while officers approach with their guns drawn on him.

One deputy approaches Pierre with a gun drawn; another approaches wearing a glove. 

One of the deputies bends over to check Pierre’s condition and eventually an officer can be seen administering CPR. 

Emergency personnel trasported Pierre to the hospital, where he later died.

Broward County officials said Pierre “charged” at Briggs, but it appears he’s actually attempting to run away in the video.

“Deputy Sean Youngward was attacked by Mr. Pierre. He was punched, he was kicked and he was knocked to the ground,” Broward County Sheriff Scott Isreal said during a news conference Friday.

“It was a violent encounter.”

Officials claim deputy Youngward used his taser on Pierre, but said that didn’t stop him from attacking the deputy.

“He did everything he could to save himself and to end this confrontation, he was overwhelmed by the superior size and strength of Mr. Pierre,” Sheriff Israel told reporters.

“He gave several clear concise, lawful and legal orders to Mr. Pierre. Mr. Pierre chose a path of non-compliance.”

Pierre’s friends and family said that’s not the man they know and have questions about what led up to the altercation.

“He was a loving, caring person. Loved his family, loved his kids. This is devastating to all of us, it’s not making sense,” Pierre’s friend, Nekita Dulcio, said.

Pierre’s family said he was a Haitian entrepreneur and once ran for political office in Haiti.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
