- Victim shot at 22 times files lawsuit after Okaloosa County deputy mistakes acorn falling for gunshots.
Civil Rights Attorney DeWitt Lacy and shooting victim Marquis Jackson speak at the Okaloosa County Courthouse Annex Tuesday March 19 to announce lawsuit.
Deputy Acorn should be charged. A private citizen would be.
Female officer as well. She dumped mag too.
This whole department needs under the prison.
The two cops need charged with attempted murder, gross incompetence, Malicious battery, Improper use of force, Improper exhibition of dangerous weapons or firearms, cruel and inhumane punishment, and all other applicable laws. The world is more dangerous with these two on the streets
Both cops
@@janeysiegrist5061 Her reaction was based on what the paranoid officer told her. Her actions don't warrant charges. The paranoid cop should at very least be charged with reckless endangerment and federal civil rights violations.
Why is the cop not in jail for reckless endangerment of the public?
Who’s going to arrest him when they work together
This needs to change if they don’t arrest him they can serve the same life long sentence both Officers should get
because he is a cop is the reason that he is not in jail
@@johnwilson6707 he was not charged he has qualified immunity it takes a lawyer to go to court to strip him of that then he can be charged
The sad par is this lawyer must have been hired because of his rave because this kid could have got any law firm to take it but this bastard doesn’t even know the difference in a rifle and a pistol
I know it's crazy right? I heard a report that the houses across the street got pelted with stray bullets - talk about a risky game of dodgeball for innocent bystanders!
22 counts of attempted murder
Not how the justice system works when it was only one victim lol. But he is a victim and the officers made a horrible, and inexcusable mistake. Thankfully this man was not hurt , and he will receive an incredible amount of money. He will not have to work a single day for the rest of his life, nor will his kids/future kids. Nor should he have to for what he went through
For sure attempted murder!
Exactly!
I totally agree!!
Fair is fair
That's what they would charge any of us with if we shot ??
I am so glad that young man is okay. What a miracle he wasnt hit.
Female cop should be charged also. She heard no shot but fired anyway. She knew he was cuffed.
not true, she fired AFTER acorn boy nearly emptied his mag. male or female cop would have started shooting also. however, she fired at the car not knowing who the suspect with the gun was. they could have been on other side of the car for all she knew. that is why she should be fired and charged.
She reacted accordingly. She won’t be charged and shouldn’t be either.
@@guiltyuntilproveninnocent.She was blindly firing not even knowing who or where she was shooting at
@@bigman7570 She was shooting at the very same police vehicle as the officer that started shooting in the first place. Did we watch the same video?
@guilty actually she started shooting first
It wasn't a mistake. IT WAS A DECISION!
Yeah, 22 times it wasn't a mistake.
Probably because of the white girl
Right!
💥💥💥🇺🇸🗽
Agreed
Telling someone to sit up while being shot at is insane
_Tell that to the white man._
PAY THE MAN WHAT HE'S ASKING FOR EVEN IF IT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS. YOU ALMOST KILLED HIM FOR AN ACORN. THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
What's "ridiculous"? How would ask for 10k?
@@plutotech10k is ridiculous because it’s not nearly enough. That’s sickening. Payout needs to be as loud and large as their endangerment and disregard was.
@@kaylavarela7215 you didn't read the comment I was responding to did you? Context bro..
@@plutotech Reading your comments, I'm disappointed in my comprehension skills; Because I have no idea what you're trying to saying.
@@cosmickitteh yeah. you're slow i guess.
End qualified immunity. ENJOY YOUR MILLIONS YOU ARE GOING TO WIN IN A LAWSUIT
It will not make it to court. It will be settled quickly out of court for less than a million because he was not hit with a round, in my opinion.
Ez money compare to the scam state lottery
@@sharthun2009a African American mom and her daughter was wrongfully arrested after driving all night when they stop to get coffee and was chilling in their cars when a cop showed up and racially profiling them arrested them for absolutely NO Reason. They didn’t get shot at all thank god but they received 8mill in damages. lol you sound dumb when your opinion is less than a mill.
He chose the wrong lawyer his lawyer will cause him to get only half what a good lawyer would get !
Stop hiring lawyers according to their race ! This bastard doesn’t know a rifle from a pistol he can’t be successful in court
Acorns and Pinecone Lives Matter
Been wondering how dude been doing since that horrible incident. Let's not forget the female cop emptied her mag as well.
She did what she was supposed to do, so she's not at fault... but I am extremely glad this man wasn't hit. Despite the reason he was in the car, he didn't deserve that
I believe you have a little polish on your tong. If you, as a civilian pulled out a gun because you heard gunshots, and started firing at a car because your friend was , how would the law apply to you? Would it not be prudent to find out what's going before you started shooting? We're not talking about a war zone here, we are talking about a guy, HANDCUFFED in the back of a car you just put him in.@@tefthompson4354
@@tefthompson4354She wasn't supposed to shoot into a police car with a handcuffed and unarmed human inside.
@@tefthompson4354Naw bruh, she was completely in the wrong.
@@user-lh5re8jh7uNo she was justified, but that doesnt save the police department 😊
That young man is a walking breathing living testimony and I hope that he receives justice!
Wait. He was handcuffed and then shot at?
Yes
They legit handcuffed him searched him and put him in the back of a cop car . The dumb ass cop heard a acorn fall and hit the top of a car and started unloading his gun into the car with this guy in it. Ridiculous
His girlfriend reported him pulling a gun with a silencer on her.
She should take advantage of this and immediately file a lawsuit against Marquis Jackson for his violence towards her.
As well as anyone else who Marquis Jackson abused should take note and began filling lawsuits against Marquis Jackson.
Marquis Jackson is just looking for a payday.
Which his victims should be entitled too.
This is a whole clown show.
Marquis Jackson is living that thug life.
He can't speak from his heart.
That's why he had to read what was written down.
It gets NO FAKER THAN THAT 😂
Sht tf up boy@@michaellubrano5784
@@michaellubrano5784I don’t know if you’re trolling or being serious.
criminals with badge
No. Cops hate domestic cases it is the most dangerous. A pure accident . Don't ever call the police if you don't like them
Exactly
People with psychopathic traits are drawn to law enforcement jobs. There is a fine line between a criminal and a cop. One just wears a badge, the other wears cuffs
not true. I am sure you are in the cuffs@@TA.Muscle
This incompetence is running rapid in every police dept across America!
💯
Agreed
Because of all the Defund the Police crap started by the democrats. The only people joining the force are the lower-class ones without a brain...
That's because the government is over and they can do whatever they want.
Not every one just the ones ran by liberals !
The sad thing is this lawyers doesn’t know the difference in a rifle and a pistol mgr will lose the case because he can’t defend his client if he doesn’t know the facts
Seriously we all as a people need to be calling this sheriff department and demand justice and accountability forsure
Both cops should be charged with attempted muder, revoke certification and sued personally for their pensions.
I truly don't think that the female cop should be charged
She was literally reacting to what her partner was telling her was truthful
Let's not forget that the "victim" in this case is a domestic abuser who is trying to manipulate the public into giving him money. He's probably going to use this as an excuse to beat women for the rest of his life.
Everyone should be held accountable wrong or not@MsDawnKeyballs
@@MsDawnKeyballs
if it were any citizen it's a different story. If a single stray bullet from my firearm kills someone, I'm going away for involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment. Provided my attorney can prove it was unintentional.
Yet she empties clips at a guy and gets off Scott free.He's lucky to be alive, but that shouldn't absolve either of them from the gravity of what they did.
I own a ccp and I find it offensive that officers aren't expected to exercise the same level of caution and forethought that I'm required to when discharging firearms at a human being. You should be more concerned about that.
This is by far the dumbest cop and apparently police force on the face of this planet. If what the lawyer says is true about the sitting up in the back seat and shooting the glass out the ENTIRE force should be relieved of duty.
You can bet it's true
@howlinwulf i don't ever trust lawyers 100% man you can't most of them are looking out for themselves more then the victim.
Yeah just when you think you seen the dumbest police encounters then another dumb cop will step up and replace him .
I watched the original video, this man was secured in the back of the police car in handcuffs when both cops emptied their service weapon into the car, all because a squirrel dropped an acorn onto the car.
Just another scared little boy tasked with public safety
Stupid deputies. I can't even imagine being in that car and all those shots going off. Poor man probably has HORRIBLE nightmares now.
No matter the amount of training… YOU CAN’T TRAIN INCOMPETENCE!!
Watch out for that sneaky Acorn!!
They tried to kill that man.
I don't feel too sorry for him, he also threatened to kill his GF which was why he was arrested in the first place.

So this young man goes from being accused miscreant to MILLIONAIR in one fell swoop. Since the cowardly cop was allowed to resign ,at least 75% of the settlement should come from the police pension fund.
He will not get near that much with this lawyer ! His choice of lawyer will cost him hundreds of thousands
@@fuzzyelm1At least he gets something. Some of us get shot at by police and don't get shyt for it.

Absolute Incompetence

@@johnh6404 I thought that would be classified cowardice actually
The officer resighned which means he can easily be hired by another department at anytime. That's why they quit first. No employee actions will be taken going forward...
gypsy cops
That department will hire him back in 6 months or less and promote him to detective.
👍🏾 Yep
Exactly! They will simply go down the street to Hillybilly, USA and get hired simply for trying to murder a black man! Those towns celebrate that type of behavior!!!
Didn't know that, crazy!
Dude kind of won the lottery. If he’s smart, move out of that neighborhood, stay out of trouble, stay away from anyone who maybe trouble and invest in selling acorn memorabilia.
THE COPS THOUGHT DUDE WAS AN ACORN CONVICT......THEY WAS WRONG
invest in selling acorn memorabilia. LOL
He didn’t even live in that neighborhood. Did you even watch the original video. That cop was an idiot
All he gonna do is buy a grill
@@Unknown71333 Or open a record label

for sure
Yep God is real
There is no God. Please grow up, and stop going through life with your fairy-tale crutch. 🙄
Amen
Poor Tyre Nichols. Apparently god had better things to do than to look out for him
Unfortunately the second officer who was on scene as well, watched him mag dump his gun, and with never having had a shot come from the patrol car after the first officer fired. She mag dumped her gun. The guy in the car is beyond lucky to be alive.
Yes but this lawyer doesn’t know. Rifle from a hand gun he is not smart enough to trial this case he is not stupid just ignorant on guns and that’s going to cost this kid from making millions
' Somebody ' WAS looking out for this man n the car.
They all are so ready to exercise their boy scouts training so they looks for anything to start with but this one takes the whole CAKE and the PLATE
@@vivianpatton5692 yes but he chose a lawyer based on race and that’s why he got the dumbest lawyer that he could have got
@@fuzzyelm1That was not an intelligent comment on your part, says a lot about you.
Lack of accountability by all accounts to blame an acorn for discharging 22 rounds. Unacceptable.
Justice for Marquis! I'm so glad you survived this horrific experience. God bless you and your family forever. ❤
Exactly that Sgt claimed in her IA report she heard a noise she couldn't describe yet her bodycam didn't show her hear or react to anything at all except when she heard the ridiculous shots fired coming from the cop who lost his mind.
The right thing to law enforcement is cover it up, deny, and protect the thin blue line gang members.
KKK ASSASSINS
They should sue for 500 million, and don't settle for less then 250 million.
I hope they sue the heck out of them!!
I know and you know if the guy had been hit and died they would have magically found "justification" from somewhere.
They what have planted a gun
This is what to expect when you recruit a coward into the police service.
Yall voted to defund the real mofos who were policing calling em racist
They are all Cowards. Hello? Uvalde?
How does a acorn sound like a gunshot?
... it was a hollow point magnum acorn.
I've been hunting since I was 12 years old, and in combat multiple times, a freaking acorn falling from the tallest oak tree can't possibly make a sound similar to a gunshot. That LEO is a straight mo*Ron.
THIS YOUNG MAN BETTER FILE A LAWSUIT AND TAKE THEM TO TRIAL DON'T SETTLE KID
You see his lawyers in this video?
This why the press conference they’re announcing they’ve filed a lawsuit
Pay attention and STOP YELLING 🤦🏼
Unless you settle for at least 4 million dollars.
@@EdwardGatey lol chump change
That was attempted murder.
They'll settle out of court undisclosed amount
Assaulted with Attempted Murder
Get that money, young man!!!!
He knew damn well that it wasn't a gun shot. He tried to execute him in the back seat in hand cuffs!!
After 50 years, I still have nightmares from having a gun held on me...I cannot imagine how this young man feels after being locked, handcuffed, in a police car and having 22 shots fired at him. My heart goes out to him and his family.
Are you supposed to see what you're aiming at before shooting? And be certain of your target? Clearly, they weren't aiming at anything specific, and if they were aiming, they need to have those firearms removed. And permission removed to ever use one. How do you empty a clip, have 2 cops shooting into a car, with a handcuffed person, and [thank God] miss? Those cops should both be held accountable!!!
Total incompetence!
“Sit up so we can fire around you…” they were trying to execute him. No amount of money can give him back those moments in time. This is the most scariest thing I’ve ever heard between a citizen and a police officer.
How is shooting out the windows with him in the car to see inside correct? The entire department is not trained it seems.
how they thought he had a weapon after they searched him is beyond me , incompetence !! both officers should be charged and sentenced. Imagine being unarmed handcuffed and putting youre safety in the arms of the officers only to have them use you as human target practice . Such disgusting
Don't they pat them down before putting them in the vehicle?
Did you see the video? They patted him down and he was handcuffed in the back of the police car
A new low in Police State America.🌰🌰🌰
Meh
The sad reality is that neither the deputy nor his department will be held financially accountable/liable. The taxpayers will be on the hook for the settlement check.
Too bad they can't stipulate monetary damages come from the police pension fund.
The taxpayers are often screwed as a result, having to pay millions in compensation for the irresponsible and criminal actions by cops, rather than that taxpayer money being spent on schools, roads, and other things.
@@nobodydoingunimportantthings Facts.
My heart goes out to this young man.
The cop wasn't traumatized, he knew exactly what he was doing.
What a crock of 💩! Captain Acorn needs to see extended jail time.
What? What?!!
Sit up? So we can shoot around you? WTF?!! This goddam horror story isn’t funny. At all.
This is insane!😮
How could this have happened!!!😱👿
Both officers that fired should be charged with attempted murder
The 2nd cop only shot her firearm because she misunderstood what was happening. She heard her partner screaming and proceeded to "Return fire".
She made a mistake due to misjudgement.
The Other Asshole on the other hand should be charged with attempted murder.
Atleast they admit it was a mistake! A mistake to employ such incompetent cowards!
And they didn’t charge him that’s crazy
Charge him with what? He took the gf car without permission. I sometime take my gf car without her permission. Is that a crime worth chasing? There are far more dangerous crime out there like rapist, murder, kidnappers, suicide bomber, terrorist. Etc.
@@johnrambo1349 the cop bruh 🤦🏿♂️
So what do you think that's worth? That is the question.
That sergeant should be fired; she illegally detained him and mag dumped on him without seeing any rounds coming from him. He was patted down TWICE and placed in a squad car with his hands cuffed behind him!!
The nerve of the sheriff to say they only shot at him 22 times instead of 32…over a gotdamn acorn!! 😡
All that gun training down the toilet 🚽🚽🚽🚽
How was he illegally detained? They had text evidence of him threatening to shoot up the GF's car he stole.
@@that.ll_do_pig Why was he released hours later and *NEVER* charged for auto theft or *ANY* charges at all??
Seems like the sergeant was going off of hearsay and speculation and she had him detained because she was annoyed with him.
Why did the third cop on the scene not fire his weapon once?? 🤔
All of this bs because some fcuked in the head cop who thought the sound of a acorn hitting his car was gunfire directed at him (from a suspect that was patted down for weapons and handcuffed!!) and even claiming he was hit!! 🤦♂️
Would she have shot at a stroller with a baby in it if he said shots were coming from it?? 😏
@@rlbk525oh do tell
The fact that neither of these officers faced any punishment or accountability at all for this incident speaks volumes about the state of policing in America.
The second can’t is not at fault she walked up with her partner already shooting at the car screaming his been shot. She was not at fault
“Rules for thee, not for me” is the motto for our police officers.
@@aquanaut4life721 She didn’t hear not one gunshot, she just started shooting off the simple fact the other guy said, “I’m hit”. The level of unawareness, the lack of training, and the lack of accountability is insane. They just give anybody who can pass the physical test a badge nowadays.
@@agentsbigassforehead if you actually watched the video she did not start shooting until after the other officer did, I get you probably hate all cops but you are wrong.
@@aquanaut4life721 You’re trying to argue over what I said when the argument is over what the cops BOTH did. Which was irresponsibly discharge a firearm for no reason at all, and almost murder a man who had done no wrong. And this is why nobody respects cops or the people who defend cops. BOTH are at fault, BOTH should be charged, BOTH should lose their freedom because of this.
Im curious to hear what the police excuse will be in this case.
Wow
..this is absolutely crazy
I will never get over this case. Patted him down before they put him in the car and everything. This man is lucky to be alive!!!!
This makes ALL COPS look bad, Geez. I'm wondering if it's A PERSONAL VENDETTA
LAWSUIT? How about prison for attempted murder if an acorn can make you mag dump into the back of your own squad YOU SHOULDN'T ownn a fire arm or be a cop.
There is absolutely no situation that a cop cannot make worse!
That woman lawyer that spoke is exceptionally well spoken. She’s going places if continues to do well.
Markquise filed a lawsuit against the Okaloosa County Sheriff Department
This reminds me of a Dane Cook special back in the day when he was like "Did you hear about that story on the news? There was a story about a cop that shot at some guy like 30 times...because they thought he had a _grenade..._ he was eating a *PEAR!"*
Watch out for these dangerous falling acorns
That was really un called for.
I mean, one time I jumped under a table when my cousin put some popcorn in the microwave....
I’m angry! As a 19 yr old in ‘92 I was pulled over for driving while black. Cop pointed a gun to my head asking me where the rest of ”my crew” was. I was a month or so away from heading up to Boston to finish the last few years of college. The trauma of that Saturday morning has stayed with me. I always thought wow I wouldn’t be here today enjoying the wonderful life I have if it wasn’t for someone up there looking out for me. Prayers and thoughts with this young man 🙏🏾
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Huh?
Boyz in the hood🤣
WOW...This is the same sheriff's department and county that's now involved in the Airman Fortsen tragedy...WOW...
As he should could have lost his life because of a coward. This man was searched and detained in handcuffs inside a police car but was fired upon like an animal.
I'm surprised they didn't double down and charge him with this anyways.
Same here.
Officer acorn could have hit the gas tank, and again what was officer acorn looking for if he had him handcuffed in the back of the car, thankfully there were no kids around playing.
Exactly
He _should_ have been charged for stealing the car and threatening with a gun. The text evidence is right there in the bodycam. Their F up is the only reason they didn't charge him.
Definitely deserves more media. National media.
No international.. You poor souls. Get rich quick. Another chance to be the victim
Both cops should be facing harsh punishments for endangering the life of the man in the vehicle and everyone in that neighborhood. But this is America. The police are above the law and almost never change and are very rarely convicted.
I hate how that one cop changed a, seemingly, domestic abuse situation. But I hope that what happened gives dude and everyone involved a reason to better themselves and police laws, and to include more training and mental health check-ups for officers.
The poor lad almost fell victim to the acorn kid, the quickest to shoot in the west. 🤔
The Acorn Kid, now that's some funny shit
Bless ur heart. I watched that video when it very first happened and I was appalled. It’s not right how these black males and women are treated. Stay strong Marquis.
The amount of trauma someone experiences from something like this is no joke. People love to push that aspect of these types of situations away.
As a former law-enforcement officer and as a all year around black American, not acceptable, I am shattered and sympathy for this young man and his family. He is covered by Lord and Savior, and I pray that there is more justice to be serves and accountability and mental health services for free Money , and blessings and transparency to be held
Imagine you and your partner being trained to shoot and you miss all 22 shots, after thinking an acorn is a bullet 😂😅
Goes to show how wrong they are for the force
make sure to not share a dime with the broad who called the laws on you in the first place
She's standing right behind him with the red hair
Shame
Yes just allow your bf to steal your car...
That's what happens to innocent people when the police is called for nonsense!
She is right behind him
" Sorry Young Man We thought you had a Gun, even though you were Handcuffed " MY BAD.😲
That's so Cowardly, Go get another job Mr officer !
What also disturbs me besides this horrendous event is modern day law enforcement. officers and deputies are not educated on the law, constitution, and civil rights. I believe the philosophy of most police academies is, law enforcement against the citizenry because they are the enemy. They treat all citizens like they are criminals.
Frightfully true and will continue until the public gets serious about dismantling our corrupt police culture.
This is a good lawyer.
