Daniel Shaver

Has anyone here followed the case? He was the man shot by police as he followed their orders and crawled on his knees to them. The cop who shot him was acquitted last year. The video of his shooting is very graphic.

I watched the video the other day. I know it's in the job description of the sergeant to be terse when issuing his commands but he seemed a little too pent-up and aggressive to me. The victim was clearly terrified and in a panic. So it's probably not a good idea to say you're going to kill him if he doesn't follow your confusing instructions right to the letter.

It seems like so many of the cops would rather just kill someone and run that risk than even run the slightest risk of getting hurt themselves.

That pig is a sick piece of shit and should've been convicted of murder. That was a homicide and these jurors continue to let cops get away with murder for no reason

He was aiming a scoped air rifle out of his hotel window, alarming other guests who had no way of knowing whether it was a real gun. You have to really work hard to get that aggressive of a response from law enforcement when you're white. Aiming what appears to be a rifle out of a window in view of passersby is one way to do it. Hopefully they at least mailed the Darwin Award to his family.

The cop was giving the craziest of instructions and was way too hung ho. The man was on his knees, and they were saying things like cross you. fingers together, then keep your ankles crossed, instead of just saying get face down.

Bullshit.

You mocked a little boy who was shot dead, now you mock this man's death.

Every day you try to pull up an example of a white guy shot by police to make some case that police shootings are even steven among the races, and all of your examples are situations where the guy couldn't have tried harder to get shot. This clown was aiming an air rifle out of a window in view of other people. That is a declaration of war with cops today, and anyone with a brain knows it. You want to make an argument that white guys get it from cops as bad as black people, try finding an example where the white guy isn't a complete Darwin case who was asking for it.

There are more Whites killed by cops than blacks, and he was not alarming anyone. He showed 2 people in his room an air pistol. Plus, they had him on the floor crawling, they had no idea who pointed anything out a window. For all they knew, it could have been the woman they pulled out of the room, or another person. He was taken out for questioning, but they shot him dead.

"He was asking for it" should get you banned from the internet. It won't even get you banned form this site. You're the scum of the earth, how you get away with mocking dead victims and thriller families is unreal.

Unfortunately I see this very often when people are shot by the police, including on this site.

What happened to Shaver was ridiculous and the fact that the officer didn't go to prison is even worse. Police aren't held to any sort of standard when it comes to this. I don't see how anyone can justify how this young man was executed and this is not the only example. People say that it's only a small percentage of police that do this, but if they're not all doing things like this they are tacitly endorsing it. Police need to be held to a higher standard and it's ludicrous to think otherwise. Biggest gang in America.

Exactly!

This is one of those cases that shows how broken the justice system is.

Exactly! The system is set up to protect cops in these situations. Its unfortunate that this young man lost his life as from what I saw from the video, he was complying with the police and didn't appear to be a threat on his stomach, crawling toward them.

I keep telling y'all he just comes up with this outrageous shit just to troll y'all and get cookie started up to back him and y'all go for it every time

Where can I find this video fellas? I dont even know nothing about this news..

It's mind boggling how this cop wasn't convicted. Of course, the city will lose a civil suit and your average tax payer will be the one footing the bill for this psychopath to stay in society. If the money from the civil rulings that ALWAYS follow these cases came from the police unions and not from Jon Doe Taxpayer I guarantee you would see a sharp decrease in police brutality. The problem is, they know they will not face consequences when they hurt people. Paid administrative leave, AKA a vacation, maybe. Worst case they get fired from one department and rehired at another immediately.

It's also amazing how he must have been one of the younger cops there,e but no one else took charge. Was he the one yelling out those instructions at Daniel Shaver?

No. The sergeant was the one yelling instructions. He has since retired.

Just like the Catholic priests. When they're caught abusing children in one parish, they are simply moved to another, and become another town's issue.

You're complicit in this mans death

This is the shit black lives Matter we're talking about and you ignored them with hatred. I'm black, you're white and cops are blue. They killed some white chick in Minnesota who called them to report a break-in, pigs are dangerous

No you have gone totally nuts. Explain please how in the world I am complicit in this death? You're babbling gibberish. I am complicit? I want to see this explanation. Back it up.

Why does every thread started or conspired by certain individuals have 2 be a guarantee that it will turn either racist or political??? this board is becoming redundant...no wonder all the originals don't appear anymore...I came around only in 2015 , & there was more action..more gangster talk....more realism...the old heads who used 2 b regs on this board r probably disgusted , tired & bored w/ all the new members & topics w/ all the lib shit or should I say right & left bullshit..this was once a mob thing ......now it's a forum 4 "I hate u ..u hate me" argument threadline hipocrocy.....Fuckin' sad..no wonder SC doesn't want this job anymore.

You've complained about the news media focusing on stories when the pigs kill blacks. That's the kind of rhetoric that helps the pigs get away with crimes. This pig didn't get in trouble because not enough people talk about dirty cops

There we go again w/ the "pigs" references again from the same "porch monkey"...ur the fuckin' pig..I'm only playin ur game u fuckin' coon ass prick...I thought we resolved this matter ...now u got me goin',,,God help me.....I'll find u & i'll kill ya..u motherfucker..ul get me banned , 4 speakin' the truth when in fact , u should have been banned a long time ago..I do believe I have a little respect & honor on this board..some scum like u aint gonna take it away..I been here & noticed ur only allies r Oak & Black family....ur out numbered..now.....I'm gonna step down from acting like YOU.

@hoodlum

You ain't killing shit, that kid would still be alive if u put all that energy into holding pigs/coppers/bacon accountable for their evil deeds. This mothafucka executed some goddamn body and you're upset he was called a pig....smh

You are babbling bullshit. Explain in a way that anyone can understand. You blame me for. death in Minnesota, and another police shooting on another thread, while screaming about pigs.

@jace

You're responsible because u defend pigs when they execute minorities. Now they're emboldened and killing white people because they've been allowed to get away with murder. Nobody holds them to any moral standard so they get away with all the crimes they commit

He aimed the gun out of the room's window. The police were called on him. Get your facts straight if you're going to make this your current cause celebre of white victimhood.

Aiming a rifle barrel (albeit air rifle, but this is not discernible to bystanders) out of a window at this day and age might as well be a suicide attempt. Anyone with a brain knows the police are going to respond to this call very aggressively. We're in the age of mass shootings. This case should not be lumped in with those of people who were shot by police while neither armed or showing any kind of aggression whatsoever (and, aiming a rifle barrel out of a window is an aggressive move, even if the person doing it is too stupid to realize it). He was too drunk to follow the officer's instructions. He tried to stand up once or twice despite the officer telling him that if he did it again, he was dead. People who have this kind of a side effect when drinking shouldn't be drinking at all. At the very least, they're responsible for knowing their limitations.

Idiot, they do focus on blacks being shot while ignoring White deaths by cop. How dumb can you be? The Shaver story is just one example, I will now put up a bunch more. .

Liberal magazine Time on killings of unarmed White men by cops:

http://time.com/4404987/police-violence/

I don't care what Time magazine says. In Shaver's situation the police were responding to reports of a man pointing a rifle out of a window. In the age of mass shootings, you know that kind of call is going to get an aggressive, militarized response. It's ridiculous to compare this situation to someone like Philando Castille, who was pulled over for some petty reason then shot for no reason at all. In Sacramento they hunted down Stephon Clark for looking into car windows. Just looking. Didn't even try to break into a car. Had choppers on him and everything. They shot him several times for making a quick move. Hard to feel sorry for an idiot like Shaver who points a rifle barrel out of a window and practically begs the police to respond aggressively, until they do and he realizes he might have made a fatal mistake. Daniel Shaver was shot for being a drunk idiot. The end.

I'm pretty sure Shaver replied that he wasn't drunk when the cops asked him, but he was.

Maybe they thought he wasn't drunk, maybe if they knew that he was, they would've legislated for his erratic responses to their demands.

And in the police's defense, this did come after the Las Vegas shootings where Paddock fired from a 32nd story window, so this would've heightened tensions a lot.

I still think this could've been avoided. I would hold the sergeant just as responsible as the nerd who fired the shots.

Sadly it was no different with Tamir Rice, who had an airsoft pistol that looked just like a 1911 when he pulled it out when cops were pulling up sadly costing him his life. Would you agree?

You're just bringing up the Tamir Rice incident because he's black.

And you are taking an unsympathetic stance re: Daniel Shaver because he is white, what's your point?

Daniel Shaver wasn't shot for being white. He was shot for being a moron.

You're an A-hole, plain and simple. A young man was shot and you laugh because he was White.

I'm bringing it up because it was the same situation. Someone with a gun and pointing it at people. You think what you think because you're always throwing race into the issue.

Race was thrown into the thread when it was created

Well, in that case his race was white and he was shot while unarmed. So much for all the Black activists and leaders screaming that it only happens to Black people. A lie, told over and over. I gave you the proof that it's untrue, now what?

@jace

Talk to me when white people start getting shot unarmed and in the back damn near every week of the year

Now what? It and that thing will continue to complain and throw false accusations at you. They are probably aren't even Negros, they just like the drama. Possibly transgender/drag most likely not Negro.

They do.

@jace

It would be really sad if u actually believe the shit u say

I showed you all these videos of White people getting shot, and you don't believe it? You're full of it.

That's because according to cookie only blacks get shot by the cops. They would NEVER shoot a white man!

When the cops shoot whitemen nobody protests because they assume it was a justfied shooting. On the otherhand when blacks are shot by the cops everybody assumes he was shot for no reason

Shit happens. Get over it. Lots of people die in the hospital related to negligence or accident. Leave the cops alone. When the cop stops you. Be calm and collective. Don't act like a child who has gone undisciplined it's whole life. Some cops shouldn't be cops, but that goes across the board with all professions. Same thing goes for people, some shouldn't be parents. Let alone having multiple kids.
