@@pirizzo No they shouldn’t. He deserves it, but we shouldn’t induce a further betrayal of the law, for what he did.

The fact that those two cops did not get prison time is appalling. The shooter is now living off the taxpayers dime, and the MONSTER who was shouting commands like a madman just was allowed to retire, probably with full pension. Everyone involved is corrupt.

Did the money come from a draw/garnishment of the police pension fund? No. The public is taxed to pay for their bad conduct!

You're correct, unfortunately. The police leech off the people they pretend to serve in every way. Which is why we don't need them.

Traffic "citations" are intended to get money for cities AND to give people an incentive to stop bad driving. Legislatures realize about the need to discourage bad driving, but they haven't responded to the need to discourage bad policing. I was in a store and a cop was in there, he started watching me, hoping apparently I would shoplift and he could make a misdemeanor arrest. They do see everyone outside their tight circle as needing to be jumped on.

[@johnayala2540]

I just knew right away the cop was going to murder the guy by the way he expressed his words being incredibly illogical and power tripping. He wanted to find the slightest excuse to execute an unarmed man crawling on the floor and obviously not a threat. The cop's finger was itching to pull the trigger. I don't understand why the cop bothered to give ridiculous commands to Daniel. The police should just have killed Daniel right away since that was the intention of that cop in the very beginning. This is a clear case of how to murder legally. The police was acquitted and there was no outrage from the public. I wonder if Obama, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton & the American people would have remained silent if Daniel was black. I would imagine massive demonstrations nationwide and major cities in the US would be on fire if Daniel was black. What was so disturbing was the fact that Daniel was crying & pleading not to be shot. The fear in his voice when he was pleading for his life was so haunting and what's more disturbing is the fact that the cop didn't face any jail time not even for an hour and his superior had supported his executioner style of policing and stated that they would have done the same thing...they would have also executed a defenseless unarmed man pleading for his life & crawling on the floor. They needed to humiliate and degrade the man before murdering him and this happened in America. The justice system of America had failed miserably in this case. This is so shameful that a murderer is awarded $2,500/month for life.

both of my parents are retired law enforcement, I always remember my father telling me that most people have no business having power or authority over someone else, he went on to explain that when he was in college for criminal justice, that the vast majority of the class (he said 75%) just wanted authority over some one else and thats the only reason they wanted to become a cop. it scares me how right he is

[@trillfate4479]

Uh huh

[@primesspct2]

Our standards for hiring officers should be stringent, standards that show the people with abilities and a brain, from power hungry rednecks, or dorks with a domination fascination. College and mental health evaluations. It should be harder to be a cop than it is to be in the Air Force or special ops. But its quite the opposite. On the job these people should quickly be shown to be what they are. First power trip , out the door you go! We need to do better. The individuals hiring need to be better. The good ole boys club needs thrown out, and qualified and capable people be found. It is quite the opposite at this point. The good old boys do everything possible to get qualified and competent individuals out, lest they be exposed. Make the guys life so miserable he quits the force. When will this stop?>

[@codylapoint]

Both of my parents were also police officers, my father only lasted 10 years before quitting on account of how morally corrupt the higher ranking officers seemed to be. He worked undercover for several years, and many of the investigations lead back to corrupt local politicians, or corrupt officers whithin the department brass. He was going to dump everything he had on a federal agents desk, but my grandfather talked him out of it. Seemed like a good way to end up getting himself Hillary clinton'ed to death.

When is the last time you saw the MSM cover a cop shooting a white person? Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin were both covered non-stop by the MSM. The MSM broadcasters raised their hands in congruence with what Brown's lying buddy said he was doing when he was shot. A black eyewitness said that he couldn't believe Brown kept going after Wilson. The media showed a Treyvon Martin photo from when he was a small looking 12 or 13 year old and not a photo of him when he was 17, when he was 4 or 5 inches taller and heavier than Zimmerman.

Daniel's widow wanted a trial to expose Mesa PD corruption, but circumstances eventually forced her to settle out of court.

I was a police officer for inside a decade prior to turning medic. I am familiar with this incident, and totally agree with you in your analysis. It would have been more appropriate to approach Daniel for a detainment. During my police tenure, from a psychological perspective, an us-against-them mentality is fostered through continuous contacts with variations of the criminal element. Those officers developed..no, gardened, a narcissistic foundation in exploiting a sense of being grandiose in their engagements. Daniel's death could have been prevented, but what came out of this incident as a positive is, those former cops will no longer continue to do a job they were unfit for to begin with.

He retired, so he;s not a danger as a terrible cop, so... The man who actually shot and killed him didn't create the problem situation, he just reacted to it. He was brought to a state of hyper alertness and fear with surging adrenaline by Langley. I understand why the jury thought the situation was Langley's fault and he should be held accountable, so let the young, aggressive, nervous officer go. It's infuriating. For the young officer to get PAID for having PTSD (which he may well have...just watching that video is nearly enough to cause PTSD, let alone being there) is even more infuriating.

After going over the video countless times and imagining myself in the exact same situation (drunk, and in a total panic from the police saying over and over agin they are going to shoot you if you make a single wrong move) I honestly believe that the only thing that would have saved Daniel is completely freezing, and not moving whatsoever until the police were eventually forced to come to him and put him in cuffs. And with the police that showed up to this scene, I'm not sure that even would have saved him, because they obviously showed up with the decision already made that they were going to end up shooting someone. Every single time I see anything about this situation, it makes me physically sick to my stomach. Every single one of us would have been shot if we were in his place, no matter what we did to try to calm the police down or mitigate the "threat" we posed to them. Its just absolutely fucking disgusting, and the fact that the officer who shot him got to retire with a monthly salary for the rest of his life makes me so fucking angry that I'm about to have to go downstairs and pound whisky until I'm drunk enough to forget that I live in a country where police acting like this is not only tolerated, but rewarded. Fuck each and every single one of these cops. Whats an appropriate punishment for killing an innocent crying man in cold blood?

This is my first time hearing about this case and I'm floored, overwhelmingly sad and MAD. They wanted to shoot him. How do you know what to do in these situations?! And the injustice system does it again 🙄 Prayers for Daniel's loved ones 🙏🏽😔 (Just had to comment on this one smh (first time commenting, love your channel Doc!))
