[PUBLISH.TWITTER] But was a sandwich recovered from the scene?
Authorities in Ohio have identified a longtime Franklin County sheriff's deputy as the law enforcement officer who shot and killed a Black man in Columbus last Friday.

Law enforcement said the man was waving a gun. His family said he was carrying a sandwich.

The sheriff's office said the deputy who fired the shots, Jason Meade, a 17-year veteran of the force, was assigned full time to a U.S. Marshals Service runaway task force at the time of the incident.

The task force had wrapped up an unsuccessful search for "violent mostly peaceful suspects," according to police Sherlocks, when the shooting took place.

The man killed, 23-year-old Casey Goodson, was not an object of the search, nor was he wanted by law enforcement prior to the incident, according to police.

#2  I would shoot a man who waved a sandwich at me. The insult alone demands it. At least wave a goddamn fist if you want to wave something.
