RAW VIDEO: Ex-Mesa police officer describes deadly shooting

[@Heypistola]

Both the victim and police officer are the same exact age, and yet the murderer constantly refers to him as "young man". He obviously has some sort of fucking complex.

[@frankwalsh1916]

The officer talking in the video is the ranking officer, he is not the cop who opened fire. That is why I believe the ranking officer should have also been held responsible for this shooting. His tone escalated the situation, and this cowardly pussy cop opened fire on an unarmed man trying to pull up his pants.

[@IamtheRealChicken]

Saddening to know all the details now. After doing further research it makes the shooting more and more unjustified. 1. The ability to give clear verbal instructions and use of deescalation tactics were very poor if not at all there within the whole interaction with shaver. 2. I understand the plus 1 rule but they were called there for a man pointing a rifle out a window. Shaver had a t shirt and shorts on. So either the communications the officers from dispatch were not clear of the weapon that served the threat that was called in was non existing or they went on the sole belief he had a firearm with him in his shorts (not a rifle) 3. Shaver was very drunk at the time scared out of his mind by the fact the officers said any mistake you make you will have a high possibility of being shot leads to shaver begging for his life with tears and fear. In conclusion the training for checking of weapons and dealing with the threat was handled very poorly probably the worst I’ve seen instructions were contradicting and unclear. Also when they made shaver crawl your arms will naturally go towards your side, but in this case it looked like shave was trying to pull his shorts up. The correct way to make sure this guy wasn’t a threat would have been to ask him to put his hands behind his head and face his back towards them, then ask him to pull his back of his shirt collar up and slowly spin in a circle to see if he had any fire arms in his waistband. Finally with his hand behind his head with his back towards the officers slowly walk to there voices. I believe with upmost certainty this way of pursuing the threat would have ended with shaver being able to go home to his kids. That officer needs to be charged with 2nd degree murder.

For the first thing, cops were way to big pussies to come to suspects and cuff them. Or maybe there is something wrong in Maricopa county policing. For second thing, there is no such thing as shooting into shoulder. Cops can shoot only when deadly force is authorized. Then they shoot to stop attack. Sometimes that can be done with one hit, sometimes you need to fire several magazines (specially with handgun). Wounded people can stile be dangerous. For deadly force to be authorized, officer must reasonable belief that he or somebody else is in jeopardy to lose life or be greatly badly injured. Reasonable means that reasonable cop with same knowledge, training and experience would came to same conclusion. I am not really big expert, so I am writing of memory.

It would have taken a second or two to even aim it in your general direction. Even if he had a firearm, you would have ample time to shoot your rifle before Daniel could get his aimed. Instead you put multiple rounds into Shaver. Not even bothering to check for a gun on Shaver. It’s been years since I first heard of this murder and I still can’t get over it. You murdered Daniel, Mr. Brailsford. Shaver spent 26 years of his life dreaming of living it to its full potential not knowing that all of it would come to an end because he needed to pull his pants up. You willingly executed him Brailsford. There were so many different ways you could have handled this. Letting him lay face flat on the floor with hands behind his back and then handcuffing him. Or hands in the air walking to you. Even putting them to the side of the hallway while someone watches them and you check the room. You set him up to fail. Giving him unfair instructions. Not letting him think by constantly screaming at him. There was no mercy in your voice. No hope for his survival. Not even any reassurance that everything will be okay.

When I heard him say he closed his left eye to look through his Aimpoint (red dot optic) I know this guy is a clown 🤡🤦‍♂️ I’m glad he’s off the street, but he should be behind bars

[@battlersbeware7095]

This dude looks like he wants to shoot people as he's talking. The way he makes eye contact is weird af

[@madnessmayhem4770]

I'm surprised more families don't do what the court refuses to in cases like this.

[@jakevendrotti1496]

Yup. Very surprising

[@soia1977]

He executed that kid, & He became a cop for this very reason. He wants to treat ppl the way he was treated in HS.

[@joseanesilvareis6673]

Nauseating shrimp

[@deliriousmysterium8137]

This man would be pleading guilty if he was a good person.

[@JoshDisher]

Just so everyone understands something very important about why he wasn't found guilty... The cop that gave the orders and the cop who shot him are two separate people. The shooter was following a direction from his partner. Had he been the one giving the orders it's quite likely he'd be found guilty. I read the cop who gave the orders left the country. Police Sergeant Charles Langley gave the orders, Brailsford shot him.

[@davidgreen5099]

Last post, he got off Scott free , he should never be in the field again.

[@144Souldier]

David Green Another police department will take him in..

[@kei0kusanagi]

He looks like a "good" person. Good for cover for a serial killer. I don't think there's a officer involved shooting video out there that is as disturbing as this one. This is the only video that I feel that an officer already has an intent to shoot and kill. Very very scary moment.

[@2centsbear638]

Bro, this man gave opposing orders to the guy, and still executed him

[@brianbaratheon]

If there is any justice in this world, that officer would be in a box right now. Perfect target for someone with nothing left to live for.

[@izijay4358]

he told him to put his hands up and then crawl of course he is going to use his hands and he was scared so he was not thinking right at all at that moment, yall got me fucked up!!!!

[@deadbread8446]

Why is he not in prison?

[@cezanini23]

If you are not afraid as an American citizen entering 2018..... you should be.... Help us Lord... I believe we've entered the point of no return.

[@tonyb374]

We must lower flags to half staff and honor cops like this when they die in the line of duty ?

[@davidkeevil5151]

If im ever in this spot imma lay there w my hands out until they come get me

[@bigboi7322]

The kid couldn't think straight he was scared. This is a cop that gives other cops a bad name and obviously cannot handle the pressure and definitely shouldn't have that responsibility.

[@tomraw4893]

I watched this psycho kill an innocent man and as an ex police officer, I was shocked beyond belief. It was a deliberate cruel act by a cop who set out to kill somebody.

[@CodeGrayHere]

Best of all, the city rehired him a few years later and he retired with a lifetime pension. Poor dear has PTSD.

[@matthewcrum5316]

why does his voice not sound so aggressive and demeaning like in the body cam

[@anthonyveik3449]

Why aren’t they actually using any of the video or talking about what his commands were

[@josephchavez9067]

Because Arizona courts are corrupt, i unfortunately have had the misfortune of being in this court room 303. First offense theft charge and was sentenced to 6 months.

[@chrisrussell5498]

How do you think David felt , he knew he was going to be shot, he pleaded for his life.

[@battlersbeware7095]

This dude was definitely crlebrated by his gang 💯%

[@tommygraham2648]

He wanted him to beg for his life before he killed him

[@lorenzolohman451]

Sometimes all the people can be fooled as was this jury. Why did they not see the video? Those must have been some awesome prosecutors in this case. Awesomely inadequate
