That video is disgusting

 

[Ghost313]

That shit was inhumane. No matter what dude did, he was going to kill him. The fact that he told dude to crawl to him, then killed him with a rifle.....could have detained and checked dude whilst he was face down, could have deployed pepper spray, tased him. Murder, man.

 

[i ro ny]

It was like the officer wanted to kill that dude. He was overly aggressive.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Boy I'd have got shot by this demented pig as soon as he said 'obey'. Wudda stood right up and accepted then bullets

Shit is disgustin' they cudda cuffed both suspects instead he gettin' himself a boner tellin' brudda to crawl towards him

The video was released because a verdict was reached by jurors in Maricopa County, Arizona, the same jurisdiction where Joe Arpaio was sheriff for 24 years. The jury found the Mesa, Arizona, police officer not guilty of second-degree murder.

“Jurors deliberated for less than six hours over two days, finishing Thursday afternoon,” the Arizona Republic reported. “The eight-member jury also found Brailsford not guilty of the lesser charge of reckless manslaughter.” Readers can now watch the video for themselves and judge whether they want to keep living in a country where police who behave in the manner shown face no criminal punishment.

There are consequences to America’s unique attitude toward police killings. In 2016, at least 50 people were shot and killed by police in Arizona, a state with population of 6.9 million. Over a similar 12-month period in England, population 53 million, just six people were killed by police. (During the prior 12-month period, police shot and killed three people in England.) The total number of police killings in England since 1990 is about the same as the number of people killed by Arizona police last year alone.

The same year that Arizona police killed 50 people in population of 7 million, police in Germany, where the population is 82 million, killed about 13 people.

Jurors in the Daniel Shaver case were not allowed to know that the police officer who shot him had scratched “you’re fucked” into his service weapon. But they did hear him testify about the encounter where he shot an unarmed man.

“I believed 100 percent that he was reaching for a gun,” he said.

Without a doubt, he was 100 percent wrong––and yet, according to the Arizona Republic, he was unrepentant:

A former Mesa police officer charged in the killing of an unarmed man while on duty nearly two years ago testified Thursday that he would take the same action if he had to relive the episode. Philip Brailsford, 26, is charged with second-degree murder in the on-duty shooting of 26-year-old Daniel Shaver on Jan. 18, 2016 in a Mesa La Quinta Inn & Suites hallway.

“If this situation happened exactly as it did that time, I would have done the same thing," Brailsford said testifying in his Maricopa County Superior Court trial.

Smh.. These pigs will continue kill people like this because they rarely face any kind of consequences.. Oh and fuck that dumb ass jury...

Then you haven't been paying attention. We've been over this. The only thing a cop has to say is that he believes his life is in danger, and that's a get out of jail free card. When the investigators said that the kids motion looked like a drawing motion, that's all it took for one or two of the people on the jury to say "Fair." It doesn't matter that it wasn't the most reasonable or logical explanation and that those investigators pointed out that it shouldn't have gotten to that point in the first place.

These white people will learn. I hate to say it, but more shit like this needs to happen. Maybe then some of them will wake-up and realize this police shit ain't just a black problem, we're just ahead of the curve when it comes to wanting get it resolved.

 

[i ro ny]

the service weapon. smh.

 

[MECCA1000]

The cop made it seem as if he was alone trying to arrest them.

How you have half a dozen cops with guns and can't just cuff them soon as you got them to lay down with their hands behind their heads? That cop is definitely emotionally unstable, trigger happy, and not fit for anything police related.

Cops ran up in that Vegas hotel with less fear ........ smh

"Hey yt, see what we talking bout now?!" - Black Americans

 

[atribecalledgabi]

the service weapon. smh.

Got that shit but them bitches can't even open a damn hotel door

 

[radio_santana]

That police officer sounded like his palms was itching for a kill. If he didnt terminate that mans life, an ass wooping may have may have been a suitble replacement. Black or white its really us against them. This racism shit is nothing but a smoke screen. Since reformation of police protocol seems to not be considered more murders will occur. Fuck 12's

 

[D. Morgan]

Too many folks sitting on juries in this country don't actually think for shit.

That cop is a cold blooded killer. He'd make more money as a hitman cause the way he shot that dude he don't give a fuck about killing somebody.
