Thread: AZ - Unarmed man shot dead by cop for non-compliance

  1. #151
    CA is correct.

    So is Fish.

    There was never a time when you might find yourself getting a "wood shampoo" from a cop fro no good reason.

    But things now are without a doubt worse, due to CFC and military style training.

    We are no longer citizens to be served and protected, even if it was only mouthing words in the past.

    We are now threats to be neutralized, if we so much as twitch funny or exhibit the slightest "Contempt of Cop".

    Highlanderjuan asked:

    “So, tell me – why are American cops so murderous in the 21st century when they were not so murderous in earlier time periods?”
    As I mentioned in a previous post: it is the result of the use of force guidelines being changed.

    Twenty years ago cops were held to a “rules of engagement” or vertical force continuum that was less likely to result in deadly force being used right out of the gate. A cop was (in theory and legally anyway) only permitted to use whatever force was needed to stop a suspect from using force against them and achieve compliance. Simply put, if you used your fists a cop could a nightstick and no more.

    That has all been thrown out the window post 9/11

    The use of force continuum is now circular, with the cop in the center, and any and all means of force in a circle to choose from at any given time, as long as the magic phrase is uttered: “I feared for my safety”.

    This has created the practical reality that means that cops can pretty much blow you away ANY TIME THEY FEEL LIKE IT, for little or no reason at all: “He twitched strangely and I feared for my safety – BOOM”

    Why has this training been adopted?

    Two reasons: the feds push it from the top, the better to manhandle us and push us around.

    Second and more important: it is the deadly side of the “Cult of Safety”. Officer Safety trumps the life of any single Mundane. They are trained day and night that they are at war with us, that only their quick thinking and fast action will be what saves them every day.

    Lawyers and the insurance mafia love this as well. Simply put, it is cheaper for the state to pay out whatever pittance they have to, to pay off a dead Mundane’s family, than it is to pay for the medical and disability claims of a privileged porker that threw his back out wrestling some suspect to the ground rather than just blowing him away.

    This is a volatile and deadly combination, which is why you see more and more of these stories.

    Your best defense is to avoid cops like the plague, have nothing to do with them, do not call them for any reason, and do everything in your power to get rid of them if they do encroach on your life, as annoying as it is don’t escalate or confront in any way, get them down the road and away from you.

    MGTOW for cops.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage.

    Can't blame the cop for any of that. Jury acquitted. Department rehired.

    I don't know if it's true, but I read elsewhere that Brailsford declared bankruptcy to avoid being sued by the family. The one thing he asked to be exempted and protected as far as his assets was the AR-15 he used to commit the killing. His PTSD from the event is so bad he wants to keep the tool he used to do it with.

    Daniel Shaver: Police officer not guilty of murder

    A police officer charged with the murder of an unarmed man in the US state of Arizona has been found not guilty.

    Philip Brailsford shot and killed 26-year-old Daniel Shaver in the hallway of a hotel in early 2016.

    Bodycam footage of the incident, released after the verdict, showed Mr Shaver on his knees asking officers not to shoot him just before he was killed.

    Mr Brailsford was acquitted of murder and a lesser manslaughter charge.

    Mr Shaver was shot five times with a semi-automatic rifle as he crawled towards the officers, sobbing.

    Prosecutors argued that the officer had responded appropriately, according to his training, when Mr Shaver reached towards his waistband - because he believed there was a concealed firearm there.

    Someone let me know if Rush ever starts routinely criticizing police for unjustly killing people (white, black or other) without having an ulterior motive for doing so. Until then, I will continue considering Limbaugh to be a cynical opportunist who doesn't really care about police brutality, and who is just cynically trying to score some points against the other "side" by pretending that he gives a damn about police-on-white brutality while they don't ...

    He doesn't...none of them (talking heads) ever did.

    They were too busy copsucking, for whatever reason.

    Had they started speaking up about this ten years ago, we might have been able to turn this around.

    Granbury wife wants answers after husband shot by Arizona police

    January 22, 2016

    http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/local...lice/79159608/

    Laney Sweet is still talking about her husband in the present tense.

    “He’s really funny, he’s really laid back,” she says. “He’s always the person to try and diffuse a situation, keep the peace.”

    She says it’s nearly impossible to wrap her head around the notion that 26-year-old Daniel Shaver of Granbury, the father of her girls, is gone.

    He was shot and killed by a police officer Monday night at a La Quinta Inn in Mesa, Arizona, where he was staying for work.

    “That’s what I keep saying,” Sweet says. “This is not my life, this is not my life. I’m 24. My husband’s gone. I’ve got two kids.”

    Holy $#@!. First I've seen this one. What The $#@! Did I just watch.

    The cop literally said "if you make even the slightest mistake with these [numerous & ambiguous] instructions I'm gonna unload on you".

    The rest of the video is like a horror film just waiting for the dude to make a mistake. (which of course he does, and then gets unloaded on as promised)

    Not only was the cop found no guilty, he was given a medical retirement & pension based on the "PTSD" of shooting this dude.

    But he's white so it doesn't matter. Nothing to see here.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Screaming is an act of aggression. You just got shot. Try again!

    My advice, is to stay perfectly still with your hands outstretch, and respond to every command with "Yes, sir!". But do not move. Ever. Wait for the cop to get frustrated - but not too frustrated - and then respond to the next command with "I am deaf, sir, can you please provide written instructions, sir!"

    It hasn't been fully tested but I think this is the 100% fool-proof way to not get shot during a police encounter.

    I was honored to be joined by Laney Sweet, whose husband Daniel Shaver was shot to death by a Mesa, Arizona police officer in 2016. The officer was acquitted of murder and is now receiving a pension from the Mesa Police Department. To do this date, Laney has received no financial compensation from Mesa or any other government entity. If we’re ever going to have a national movement that will meaningfully reform the criminal justice system, we will need to listen to people like Laney Sweet and we will need to make people like Daniel Shaver as famous as George Floyd.

    8 million.

    That's what Shaver's life was worth to his wife, according to the system.

    The Arizona Republic reports that the town of Mesa, Arizona, reached an $8 million settlement last week with the widow of Daniel Shaver. Shaver is the unarmed man who was fatally shot while crawling down a hallway on his hands and knees toward police officers, begging them not to shoot him.

    In January 2016, Mesa police responded to a report of a man pointing a rifle out of a hotel window. It was in fact Shaver showing a pellet gun that he used at his exterminator job to a couple other hotel guests in his room.

    Police ordered Shaver out of the hotel room and onto the ground, with his hands behind his head. But instead of handcuffing Shaver, officers—bizarrely—started barking confusing and contradictory orders at him to crawl toward them. As a clearly terrified and drunk Shaver tried to crawl toward the police, he appeared to reach toward his waistband to pull up his sagging shorts. A Mesa officer, Philip Mitchell Brailsford, shot Shaver five times with an AR-15, killing him.

    The incident was part of a string of deadly police shootings of unarmed men caught on camera, including the killings of Philando Castille and Michael Slager. Shaver's death brought national media attention and bipartisan outrage to Mesa. As David French wrote in National Review, "I have seen soldiers deal with al Qaeda terrorists with more professionalism and poise."

    This is the second large lawsuit settlement Mesa has paid out for Shaver's death. According to the Arizona Republic, the town paid Shaver's parents $1.5 million in a separate lawsuit.
