Policed Body Cam Shows Murder of Daniel Shaver (Video) (cop cleared of all charges yesterday)

by Scott Creighton

On 18 January 2016, Mesa Police Department officer Philip Brailsford, age 26, shot and killed 26-year-old Daniel Shaver of Granbury, Texas. Shaver was allegedly in possession of an air rifle while he was staying at a La Quinta Inns & Suites hotel. Hotel guests near the pool notified the front desk that someone was pointing a rifle out a fifth floor window. The hotel immediately notified the police. Following an investigation, Brailsford was charged with second-degree murder. Controversy emerged surrounding the release of body camera footage of the event…

On December 7, 2017, after a 6-week trial, a jury acquitted Brailsford of all charges.^[12][9]

In the 10 years I have been running this website I have covered a number of these events. Some fake and staged, others real and rather depressing. But none of them are quite this disturbing.

What is most disturbing about this video is just how frightened, ignorant and out of control the officer, Philip Brailsford, seems to be throughout the encounter. I have never been a fan of what cops do these days during their felony stops. It makes them all look like absolute cowards. “Put your hands up. Pull up your shirt. Walk backwards to me. I’m going hands on.”

When you got someone on the damn ground with their hands outstretched in front of them on the carpet, that’s it, it’s over, walk over there and cuff em. All this “crawl to me” shit is just a power trip for a little weasel of a man who has been conditioned by his superiors to treat anyone and everyone as if they are some kind of Jason Bourne super terrorist or some shit like that.

But that is clearly their starting position here in the states these days. It’s “us verses them” and “protect and serve” is done and over with having been replaced by their real motto “No matter what… I’M going home today”

That kid clearly had no weapons on him and was trying his best to do what that little toad of a cop wanted. He was scared shitless and forced to crawl on his hands and knees begging some some idiotic mongoloid not to shoot him before he died… for nothing.

And then the mongoloid gets off ScotFree… cus we have to worship cops over here in the Shining City on the Hill.

I wouldn’t watch this video if stuff like this bothers you. It should infuriate you. But if it bothers you, don’t watch it. It’s not graphic or bloody. It’s just demeaning to the kid that his last few minutes on earth were spent like this, supplicating himself to a total fucking cowardly moron who should never have been given a badge in the first place.

Yep. We are all Palestinians now, aren’t we?
