Casey Christopher Goodson Jr., 23, had no recordwasn't wanted by police, and was bringing his grandmother lunch, when he was gunned down by Franklin County Sheriff’s deputy, Jason Meade who was working with a U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force. His grandmother and Goodson’s 5-year-old brother watched Goodson die ahead of them — their Subway sandwiches lying in a very pool of blood. Few details about why Meade decided to kill this man are released, aside from the quality “feared for his life” and “I saw a gun” claims. However, we are now learning about this killer cop’s past which can have contributed to his trigger-happy nature.

Meade features a background as a pastor. But unlike most pastors who teach Jesus Christ’s philosophy of turning the opposite cheek, Meade preached to strike first and ask questions later.

In a YouTube video series for the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office called “Connecting with the Community,” Meade gave a sermon at the Ohio State Association of powerfulness Baptists in 2018. During that sermon, this killer cop said, “I learned way back why I’m justified in throwing the primary punch. Don’t search here like ‘Oh police brutality’.”

Meade reiterated his stance on preemptively striking those he “hunted” several times.

While telling the churchgoers that he was a cop, Meade said, “I work for the Sheriff’s office… I hunt people – it’s a good job, I love it. I got a bunch of my SWAT members here and even my bosses are here, I appreciate ‘em starting off, they’re good men of god. I’m glad they came bent support us today, but they’ll allow you to know, I worked this job 14 years, you recognize I ain’t never been hit clean within the face one time?”

He clarifies, “It’s a fact. It ain’t cuz I’m so good, I ain’t bad, it ain’t cuz I’m so good. you recognize why? I learned way back I gotta throw the primary punch.”

Meade adds, “Hahahaha yeah when I hit ‘em and I’m like that’s for you, that’s for you [referring to the audience]. It’s not that bad, I’m kidding. But listen, this is often the reality.”

When a preacher gives a sermon about throwing the primary punch, people should know to a tolerable degree to steer out but Meade wasn’t just a preacher. he's also a cop — and when cops discuss throwing the primary punch, they ought to not be cops.

Despite Meade’s entire chain of command knowing being at and hearing this sermon, it had been never brought into question. Two years later, he would throw that first enter the shape of multiple bullets into the body of Goodson.

Goodson, in keeping with an attorney for the family, had not been purported to have committed any crime, had no criminal background and wasn't the target of any investigation. Nevertheless, he was wrongly targeted by police and gunned down.

Police claim Goodson pulled a gun on them — as he brought three Subway sandwiches to his grandmother and two toddlers while unlocking the door — and therefore the deputy was forced to fireside on him.

Though claiming to seek out a gun, in their statement, police admitted that they'd no legitimate reason for approaching Goodson.

“The deputy was investigating the case and there are reports of articulation. The deputy fired at Mr. Casey Goodson, leading to his death,” in line with a sheriff’s statement. “A gun was recovered from Mr. Goodson. Mr. Goodson wasn't the person being sought by the U.S. Marshals task force.”

Attorneys for Goodson’s family condemned the statement about Goodson pointing a gun, saying in an exceedingly release that “neither the town of Columbus nor the other investigatory agency has alleged that Casey Goodson pointed a gun before Meade pulled the trigger.”

“With Meade’s statement issued nearly one full week after he killed Casey, it's critical to notice that this is often a classic defense often claimed by police after they shoot and kill someone,” they said. “It is additionally critical to recollect that always the evidence doesn't support these claims.”

According to Sean Walton, from the business firm of Walton and Brown, LLC, Goodson was licensed to hold a concealed weapon “and Ohio doesn't prohibit the open carrying of firearms.”

It is indeed likely that Meade simply saw the completely legal and licensed gun, unjustly “feared for his life,” and killed Goodson for no reason — especially if he thought he had to “throw the primary punch.”

“Casey was shot and killed as he unlocked his door and entered his home,” Watson said. “His death was witnessed by his 72-year-old grandmother and two toddlers who were near the door.”

Though the sheriff’s department “reported witnessing a person with a gun,” Goodson wasn't that man. What’s more, it makes no sense for Goodson to go away to the dentist’s office where he just had his teeth cleaned, acquire Subway for his family, and wave a gun out of his window on the way home. Goodson was a concealed carry permit holder. He had been through training and knew the ins and outs of carrying a firearm which doesn't include leaving the dentist, finding out lunch, and waving a gun out of your window.

“It doesn’t be,” Walton said. “Who drives down the road waving a gun out of the window? This isn’t a music video. this can be the real world.”

We agree.

“There’s no reason or justification for why any of this happened,” Walton said. “He fell and died in his own kitchen.”

According to the family, the luggage of sandwiches was on the bottom next to his body after Meade killed him and that they didn’t see any gun.

Because deputies during this county don't seem to be required to wear body cameras, it's the cop’s word against the family’s.

As the Columbus press so eloquently found out, in Meade’s sermon at the Baptist convention he lays out three prerequisites that justify throwing the primary punch: Proclamation, posturing, and if they need a history of violence.

The current evidence that puts Casey Goodson in an exceedingly position of entering his home with sandwiches in hand and keys within the door would seem to fail each of the primary two and Casey’s lack of a list would cancel the third.
