 After almost 2 years, the judge finally ordered that the police body cam be made public for the shooting of Daniel Shaver in Arizona. I've been hearing about the case for a while and wanted to see the video, and now I kinda wish I didn't. It is not gory at all, but its pretty disturbing. https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/939014159726870530 Rigel fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Dec 8, 2017 |

Great, now we also know why the judge released the video. The trial is over, not guilty on all charges. edit: none of the other cops fired a shot, and most didn't even have their guns out. One other cop had a taser out expecting to use it if the guy had problems understanding directions.

Of course, because juries are instructed to ignore literally everything except for the split-second before the cop pulled the gun. So sure, he was begging for them not to shoot him and crawling on his hands and knees, following every order, but he flinched and so he dies.

Remember, never ever call the cops.quote:Officers had been called to the scene after reports of a man pointing a rifle out a window. According to witnesses, Shaver had a pellet gun he used for his extermination business.

His final "mistake" of pulling his shorts up while crying and crawling was also after the crazyass cop (who has since been fired obviously) ordered him to basically play a game of loving twister, and screamed at him that he would shoot him if he made too many mistakes.

Just another bad applequote:Mesa police fired Brailsford a few weeks later for performance issues, and also because the officer had "You're hosed" engraved on his rifle's dust cover. (Apparently, that hadn't been seen as a problem before the shooting.) He had been with the force almost three years.

Rinkles posted:Is there a chance of a retrial? Unless the jury was literally bribed by the police, I don't think so. Guilty verdicts can be overturned and/or retried for all kinds of different reasons, but Not Guilty verdicts are almost always the end of the road. Obviously the family can still sue for wrongful death, where the burden of proof is a bit lower, but I doubt that cop has assets.

True, since he's not guilty, then as a cop on duty he's almost certainly immune from being sued and it would be the city that would have to pay. I assume they'll negotiate a settlement, I don't think the city wants to go through round two in civil court.

Edit: my emotional knee jerk response after seeing that video got the better of me. To be a bit more measured: until the culture changes enough that hiring these rear end in a top hat becomes untenable (or, my preferred solution, the entire precinct goes down for conspiracy) the cops in America are the problem. Too bad This, like so many of our problems, is unfixable. BardoTheConsumer fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Dec 8, 2017 |

You know what the really cool part is, the killer cop's dad was a lieutenant in the department when he was hired. His dad did retire (now a lawyer) before the killing.
