Oficer acquitted in shooting of unarmed man

Daniel Shaver was killed by police 2 years ago. He was ordered by police to crawl on the floor to them, after which he did so, but was shot dead anyway. The officer who shot him was acquitted yesterday. The case had very little media coverage.

I remember that when it was released. Sick shit. The police state is here.

The video you linked is edited, btw. It's actually a good video to watch if you don't want to actually see the guy bleed out. The one I saw when the story broke was disturbing.

can't say i'm surprised.. i would love to see the people who defend cops on a regular basis justify this one.

the fact is that police in america have a problem overstepping their boundaries and very rarely face repercussions for it. so what is there to deter them? until they actually face consequences for their actions this will not change.

a huge problem here is that until you experience it yourself, most people act like the police are infallible heroes who can do no wrong and will offer up a million excuses as to why they're justified in their acts.

That was some sick shit

Then cops covered for buddy executing dude like a deer

Cops like him get other cops who aren't deranged killed

5 shots and the cop got off.

I never realized it was that many shots. The cop was way out of control through the entire incident. He had a team of heavily armed police wearing protective gear with him, no one stepped in to calm it down.

Has anyone seen any coverage of this on any major news stations?

If I were in that situation, I would just eat the ground with my hands and legs spread out. If they're going to shoot me for just laying their motionless, with my hands and legs in their sight and spread out, completely immobilized, then let them. Karma says one day they'll encounter a suspect who they're not aware is armed, and who'll show them the same mercy.

They could still have shot you, using the excuse "He did not comply". I saw a video of a man in handcuffs tasered to death in front of his parents by a state trooper in the back seat of a car. The officer kept yelling "Comply!" The handcuffed man was mentally ill, and but did not seem to struggle much. After tasering him 11 times, he was dead. The police, upon hearing they had killed him, high fives each other. The excuse "He would to comply" was what they used.

I believe it. The police have been executing citizens since the inception of law enforcement in this country, especially modern day, militarized law enforcement. Now, people have no excuse to not know about it.

Only when it happened years ago. I have not seen it on any major news stations, but they may have aired it while I was at work.

That was in the news, but I don't believe it got much coverage as about that time BLM was pretty much at the forefront of police misconduct.
