Attorney David Haynes said the officer mistook a cordless house phone for a gun​

A Virginia sheriff's deputy shot a Black man last Wednesday about an hour after the same deputy gave the man a ride home, reports said.

Isaiah Brown, 32, was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher when the deputy responded to his house following reports of a "domestic incident," according to a police statement.

Body camera video appears to show the deputy yelling to Brown to show his hands and "drop the gun."

The officer, who was not identified, seems to say over his radio, "He’s got a gun to his head."

The deputy then tells him to, "stop walking towards me, stop walking towards me" and "stop, stop" before firing his weapon at Brown.

Brown was taken to the hospital following the shooting, according to the statement by the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office. Family members said he was in intensive care with 10 bullet wounds, WRC-TV reported.

On Friday, Brown’s attorney David Haynes said in a statement that the officer mistook a cordless house phone for a gun. He said Brown was unarmed at the time of the shooting and "did not have a weapon more than 90 seconds before the deputy arrived."

"It is evident that the tragic shooting of Isaiah Brown was completely avoidable," Haynes said. "The deputy in question made multiple, basic policing errors and violated established protocols. The deputy was situated nearly 50 feet from Isaiah, was never threatened, and should not have discharged his weapon."

The same deputy gave Brown a ride home after Brown's car broke down at a gas station earlier in the day, the station reported.

Shooting a gay, unarmed, black man……Well at least look how far we’ve come. 40-50 years ago that wasn’t even a crime
 
After giving the guy a”ride” an hour earlier?
🙄
OMG, I didn’t figure out that far. Now im really wondering what happened…Now it’s just a suspicious “gay rage” as they called it in the 70s

You’re f***ed up
 
Wtf is a 23 year old doing with a badge and a gun? Shouldn’t the MO be weed and xbox all day?
Probably because that's all you can get these days to sign up for the job. Anyone over the age of 25 likely has enough life experience to know how badly the cops are treated by the politicians, courts and a lot of the public. Not a huge defender of the cops but it is what it is as Bill would say.

It was probably a gun phone much like the Sports Illustrated football phone
