Earlier this month, police in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr., a Black man with no criminal record who had just returned from going to the dentist and picking up food for his family.

The man who killed him was Franklin County Sheriff’s SWAT deputy Jason Meade. He’s currently on paid leave pending an investigation.

Over the past couple of days, though, more information has surfaced about Meade using religion to justify violence — or at least pointing to religion in defense of being the aggressor in any incident.
