Originally posted by @kmax87What is really sad is the body cam was not allowed into evidence. A travesty of so-called justice. One thing not mentioned: They were in a hotel and firing a weapon ANYWHERE at ANY angle could have hit someone else in the building. I bet THAT was never even brought up in the trial.
And they found the shooter not guilty! This is absolutely insane.

Originally posted by @bobla45This brings to question, is there anything that should be done to outrageous judges like this that is not being done, or do we have no recourse?

Say, any complaints by women regarding the judge?
Originally posted by @vivifyThe officer involved says that he was in fear for his life after he saw the man reaching for his waist, presumably reaching for a weapon. Experts testified that they thought what he was actually doing was reaching for his waistband, to pull up his pants, as he had been crawling along the floor at the officer's instruction. The only guns found at the scene were in the room, not in the hallway.
I just saw the video.
That was so brutal. To demean someone who poses no threat, and follow it up with cold-blooded murder. And this officer gets to walk, scot-free.
Originally posted by @suzianneThe officer has an AR-15, with the words "you're fcked" etched into it. That gives a clear indication of the personality of this officer.

The graphic video, recorded by Brailsford’s body camera, shows Shaver and the woman exiting the hotel room and immediately complying with commands from multiple officers.
After entering the hallway, Shaver immediately puts his hands in the air and lies down on the ground while informing the officer that no one else was in the hotel room.
“If you make a mistake, another mistake, there is a very severe possibility that you’re both going to get shot. Do you understand?” Sgt. Charles Langley yells before telling Shaver to “shut up.”
“I’m not here to be tactical and diplomatic with you. You listen. You obey,” the officer says.
For the next five minutes, officers give Shaver a series of instructions.
“If you move, we’re going to consider that a threat and we are going to deal with it and you may not survive it,” Langley said.
Shaver remains on the ground in the hallway, his hands on his head.
Langley tells Shaver to keep his legs crossed and push himself up into a kneeling position. As Shaver pushes himself up, his legs come uncrossed, prompting the officer to scream at him.
“I’m sorry,” Shaver says, placing his hands near his waist, prompting another round of screaming.
“You do that again, we’re shooting you, do you understand?” Langley yells.
“Please do not shoot me,” Shaver begs, his hands up straight in the air.
At the officer’s command, Shaver then crawls down the hallway, sobbing. At one point, he reaches back — possibly to pull up his shorts — and Brailsford opens fire, striking Shaver five times.
According to the police report, Brailsford was carrying an AR-15 rifle with the phrase “You’re F—ed” etched into the weapon.
