Long story short, PD had a report of someone seen in a hotel room window with a gun. Cops encountered these 2 people from the room in question. One interesting note...appearently the cop had "Youre fuked" engraved on his AR.

OH MY FOCKING GOD!!!!!!! why did I watch that

 

I hate you

[IGotWorms 3,309]

Yeah I started watching it, didnt like where it was going

[edjr 5,554]

Yeah I started watching it, didnt like where it was going

 

I am embarrassed for for our justice system and mankind as a whole

 

That jerkwad had it in his mind he would kill someone some day

 

Lawsuit must have been immense.

 

How was he found not guilty?

 

That kid was so focking nervous he couldn't think straight.

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

JFC.....How does anyone find this is a justified shooting?!!!

[edjr 5,554]

 

The detective investigating the shooting had agreed Shaver's movement was similar to reaching for a pistol, but has said it also looked as though Shaver was pulling up his loose-fitting basketball shorts that had fallen down as he was ordered to crawl toward officers.

The investigator noted he did not see anything that would have prevented officers from simply handcuffing Shaver as he was on the floor.

Brailsford's attorney Michael Piccarreta put an arm around his client after the verdict was read.

"There are no winners in this case, but Mitch Brailsford had to make a split-second decision on a situation that he was trained to recognize as someone drawing a weapon and had one second to react," Piccarreta said. "He didn't want to harm Mr. Shaver... The circumstances that night that were presented led him to conclude that he was in danger. Try to make a decision in one second, life or death. It's pretty hard."

 

 

 

wow. I have 0 faith in humanity. I really do. this is despicable.

 

and he shot a white kid. makes it 100 times worse

[drobeski 3,061]

Riots start yet ?

[cyclone24 1,811]

wow. I have 0 faith in humanity. I really do. this is despicable.

Thats the saddest part....he was a white kid...so he had a chance to actually become something. What a waste.

[Reality 2,710]

That's an execution, that piece of sh!t deserves to rot in prison.

 

Who the fock could keep up with his ridiculous demands while having a gun point at them?

 

Keep your legs crossed while getting to your knees? What the actual fock.. Absolutely disgusting actions by this cop, he has no business ever carrying a gun.

[Mungwater 588]

Imagine the hotel.. "in light of recent events on the fifth floor, there will be one free movie redeemable at the front desk. And if you can ignore the sobbing in room 504, there will be pizza too"

[cyclone24 1,811]

Is it poor form to email the family and see if they would transfer his Comfort Inn stay points over to me?

 

Dont think he needs them.

and to think, this motherfocker was so cocky, didn't bother him the entire thing was being filmed.

[vuduchile 1,941]

Crawl towards me? Why not just walk up to them and cuff them where they lay?

 

This cop was on some sorta humiliation power trip. If he hadnt shot him, he was going to demand a rim job.

The reason there will be no riots, though in this case, there should be.

Jeebus

 

I love how, after just blowing an innocent kid to smithereens, they take the time and worry about using a card key to open a door.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

I fockin hate him. The torture that would be inflicted on him is biblical if that were my kid. And fock his partner too.

[edjr 5,554]

Does anyone think this douche was justified?

[dain11279 927]

Does anyone think this douche was justified?

Nope. And what did he shoot him? Bout 5 times? Yeah that was needed, focking assh0le

[edjr 5,554]

guy deserves a punch in the face even more than Martin Shkrelli

[cyclone24 1,811]

Thank you for your stay....

 

How would you rate your stay on a scale of 1-5 holes.

 

****

[EternalShinyAndChrome 2,513]

Yep. As a father, there would have been absolutely no way anyone could have stopped me from taking out that officer myself.

 

I'll just say that I only had seconds to make a decision. Seems to work for them.

He is not indicative of how cops react in those situations. He is the outlier. I'd still gut him though and send the tape to his family.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,569]

wow absolutely brutal

 

guess Hands up don't shoot doesn't work

[Fireballer 2,376]

Hands up then reach around my back doesnt work.

[IGotWorms 3,309]

Fry him

[Thornton Melon 542]

Not guilty? If I was on that jury, it wouldve been a hung jury, 11-1.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Not guilty, he was told not to put his hand back and he did. It was a reflex to fix his belt, but it could have been a concealed weapon. Maybe listen and that doesn’t happen. Also he’s white. Also him having “you’re effed” engraved on his gun is irrelevant, it’s just a slogan to look cool, stop analyzing it like it’s the davinci code.

 

Guy was acquitted and he should have been. Guilty opens the can of worms. What if the next guy has a weapon? The cops get so conditioned to not care when a perp has his hands back they get caught unaware when a guy DOES have a weapon.

I MAY vote not guilty on first degree murder.

 

Voluntary manslaughter? Guilty as hell.

 

There is no way that little game of mother may I was police procedure. He was being a power tripping d!ck and ended up putting five into a kid lying facedown on the ground.

 

And the inscription on his gun is irrelevant in this case yes. But it is an indication he never should have been given a badge and gun in the first place.

[wiffleball 4,635]

Also, what about the a******* called in the fake gun report?

If you are going to use this logic can all you folk stock sucking cop ? It's clear you no longer think they have to put their life on the line if you think they are justified for killing somebody for "possibly" being a threat.

 

 

Sad thing is you know this guy is walking out of the court room with 0 remorse and feels validated

Yeah, now that I think about it, maybe they overreached with the murder charge. Its just too bad this loser isnt gonna serve any time. He wont be out any money either, the city will be paying. His only punishment will be reputation and loss of job prospects. Hopefully its enough to eat away at him, and he puts a bullet in his mouth in a few years.

Come on, you can tell he isn't the type that will feel any remorse over this

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

Itll be the story he drinks off of for years. How he dusted some scumbag with his sweet engraved AR and the snowflake poosays took his badge.

[Thornton Melon 542]

Yeah, probably, but one can hope...

Feel free to join the academy Captain badass. See how long you last trying to talk to everyone moving their hands around their waist.

The last thing every dead cop sees is someone reaching.

 

In retrospect the kid was probably trying to pull up his pants but the cop is not taking that chance....nor should he.

I just think in a closed hallway, non lethal options are available. Butt stroke the kid in the head and give him forty stitches, who cares, but that wasn't necessary

True in retrospect but remember he's going in with a report of a guy aiming a gun out of a hotel window.

Don't get me wrong this is a really crappy situation

That's the exact point. This is 100% shoot first ask questions later and he got away with it. Keep giving a pass.
