This May Be the Most Insane Cops Shooting People Video

[Kyle 207]

This is a few years old, and I had never heard of it. This is the most shocking cops killing people video I've ever seen ... somehow these guys were not convicted. How do you ever convict anyone if not these guys?
 

 

[fattyflattie 4,638]

Not only not convicted, pretty sure they kept him on the payroll for awhile.  Then he went onto another dept. iirc.    

[Beau Vine 54,442]

Quote

Brailsford was reinstated to the Mesa Police Department in August 2018, and then was granted retirement on medical grounds about a month later with a pension of $2,500 per month.  Brailsford's lawyer has said that Brailsford suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder due to his shooting of Shaver and the resultant criminal trial.

[936horn 919]

Don't want to watch it, but is this the one where the guy is clearly trying to comply with the psychopath officer's commands (which keep contradicting themselves) and ends up getting capped anyway by the tiny dick cop that had some inscription on his rifle or whatever?

If it's that one, yeah it's one of the worst. Special place in Hell for that cop.

[Cajun 11,750]

Those piece of shit cops were hell bent on killing.  Race didn't matter, stupid human tricks didn't matter, compliance didn't matter.

They wanted blood and they got it.

Both of the cops in that video should be duct taped to chairs and have their faces peeled off slowly with Zacto Knives while watching in a mirror.

[immortal13 4,059]

I knew it had to be this case without even watching the video in the OP. This was a straight up execution and this piece of shit skated with pension and everything. Just unbelievable, really

[CHIEF 5,095]

Guys, this happened like in 2015-16, Daniel was an acquaintance. He lived a few streets over in my subdivision. It is still the worst "Mother-May-I" game ever perpetrated. I have Cop buddies that wish nothing but an agonizing death for that motherfucker, along with the rest of us. A lot of people in our neighborhood had to be talked off the ledge. That's about all I can say about the situation. It was a straight up execution for some cocksucker to get his rocks off. I thought we were gonna have to add another 1000 ft. to our little airstrip to accommodate trial attorney's private jets.

The two very very worst police brutality vids I’ve ever seen are Walter Scott and this one. Straight up murders, both of them. 

[Updawg 2,286]

Yep. It was just straight up legal murder

[Updawg 2,286]

But is there more to this story? Like that guy was with a girl he liked or wanted? Drugs? There had to be a reason he wanted to shoot him. Otherwise he would have killed more since. Dude looks psycho

[52-80 19,259]

It is an old video and was posted on surly/shaggy/whatever the fuck it was called then. 
 

And yes it is the most foul egregious despicable chilling incident cop shooting ever. If medieval torture was back on the menu this dude should be first in line. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,354]

I'd never seen that before & am beyond enraged. How the fuck did the victim's family not own the city in a civil suit? Was super cop threatened by the furtive movements of an unarmed, terrified guy who couldn't figure out how to crawl on his knees without using his hands while keeping his legs crossed?

[Onboard 2.0 9,083]

I didn't watch it again. I remember seeing it when it happened, and wished I hadn't then. That's about as outrageous a cop murder caught on tape as there is. How he got off is beyond imagination. How he hasn't been "vigilanteed" is just as amazing.

I still have a place in my memory for the most outrageous brutality caught on video where the cops got off, and that's still the Rodney King beating.  Every one of them should have been in jail.

I am sure those cop buddies were so pissed they backed up every statement. This guy’s partner should have put a round in him and/or took away his gun way before the shooting.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,354]

Fuck me for researching the story further. I didn't realize there were 6 fucking cops in the hallway of the hotel. The sergeant in charge on the scene (Charles Langley) retired 4 months later & moved to the Philippines.

The bitch Brailsford who murdered Shaver filed for bankruptcy in January of '18, was reinstated (on paper; he never worked patrol again) by the Mesa PD in August for the sole purpose of allowing him to apply for accidental disability. He was then medically retired & gets a $2,500/mo pension (not bad for 3 years of service ). He reportedly works at a steel company in Glendale.

Sure sounds like the city gave him the retirement rather than let him pull back the rug on the Mesa PD.

So why the fuck couldn't one or four of the 6 heavily armed LEOs cuffed Shaver when he was face down on the ground with his hands on his head & legs crossed? Nah, much easier for them to bark confusing, conflicting commands to a scared drunk guy & try to make him crawl towards you ten feet.

My best friend, that my son is named after is a retired LEO. Retired because he crossed the Thin Blue Line. He straight up agrees it was murder. Our sheriff of Hood County came out and said it was straight up murder. The constable that lives in our subdivision said it was straight up murder. I have spoken to them off record, so you can fuck off.

Dead guy was pest control tech. He had a pellet gun in his hotel room that he used for his job. He invited a couple girls from the hotel bar up to his room and he was showing off his pellet gun. Someone outside the building saw him in the room with a gun and called the police. Police show up and murder the dude. Murderous cop gets early retirement and a government pension for life.

More info here.

I own a pest control business and I carry a pellet rifle in my truck for the occasional critter I have to shoot in an attic...so this hits close to home

Seriously though, he was on his hands and knees, unarmed and begging for his fucking life. How the fuck Brailsford walked on this I will never understand, or the lack of public outcry for that matter.

Because over the past 50+ years police unions have effectively convinced John Q Public and juror pools that it is plausible that EVERY SINGLE PERSON that LEO comes in contact with has a hidden weapon on their person and ANY MOVEMENT by said persons is plausible evidence that LEO is in a life threatening situation and therefore the threat must be neutralized. Because all cops are heroes, every interaction with citizens is a life & death proposal, and they just want to get home to their families yada yada yada.

Someone needs to find that motherfucking cop, chop his fucking arms off and tattoo a swastika on his forehead.

Capping him would be too humane IMO.

[HRSchenker 2,274]

Danny used to be in the same Facebook group as me where we posted memes from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. All of a sudden he stopped posting and his wife made comments under his account that he had been murdered by Arizona police. It was really interesting to be somewhat in the know before the story blew up across the world. They wouldn't let his wife see the body camera footage for the longest time and when they did she made a post saying "THEY MURDERED HIM". I knew the video would be bad but wow it was worse than I could have ever imagined. We're so conditioned to support police 100% and you better follow all of their orders or you'll get what's coming to you. He would have been better off lying down on the ground like a star fish and never moving a muscle instead of playing the game that ultimately led to his murder.

after 9/11 a couple of things happened

first was the heroization of first responders

the second was war on axiomatic adjectives (i.e. "terrorism" and "terror")

since ww2 us society has required an "enemy" to oppose

when the secret marxist muslim atheists failed to materialize as targets for the military hardware acquired throughout smalltown (smallmind) america, the natural outcome was the lowest common denominator murdering innocent citizens

they have to kill somebody

it's as simple as that

Yeah they are both horrible. The Walter Scott one is straight up intentional homicide and watching the video makes you fear for the safety of the guy filming it without the cop's knowledge. Slager just calmly shoots Scott in the back like a psychopath and then attempts to cover it up.

When you realize that both of these things are true, and that any effort to meaningfully address police accountability will be blown up on the launch pad as “soft on crime socialism” or some bullshit, then you’ll understand that we will never, ever fix this.

Oh, and it’s more than murder. It’s all of the abuses of and contempt for people. It’s that they are above the law from the tiniest thing to the biggest (murder), and what are you gonna do about it? I’ll just accuse you of resisting arrest, my partner will back me up, and your life will be ruined. Just for my amusement and power trip. And the entire force will back me.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Off the record.   How brave.   About a guy no longer on the force.

True, but if he didn't obey the barking cop's stupid human trick command to crawl towards him with his legs crossed but without using his hands for support and just laid there flat & motionless the cop would have executed him for not following a direct order.

After all, the sergeant made it clear that if he didn't follow his orders to the letter he would be shot. I'm not watching the video again, but I think that he yelled those words at him verbatim. And the same defense would have worked. The cops were threatened & feared for their safety. The victim lying down motionless led them to believe he was LIKELY concealing a weapon underneath him. Since he didn't cooperate & follow their contradictory commands they had no choice but to neutralize him with lethal force since all 6 cops in tactical gear with vests & armed to the teeth were afraid of a crying, terrified guy in gym shorts.


The victim had two options:
Follow orders and die.
Don't follow orders and die.

Seriously, law enforcement has the most fucked up attitude and culture.....then layer on a sizable percentage of our country that backs them 100%, and deems any questioning of their actions as "un-American," and I truly don't see any hope of fixing it.

The media covered it more once the bodycam video was released. That's how these situations tend to play out. If there's video from a citizen that's uploaded immediately after the cops kill someone, it can go viral and there's a quick uproar. If there isn't, like with Daniel Shaver or Elijah McClain, there's nothing to go viral and the cops get the chance to frame the story.

They barely covered it.  99.9 percent of Americans have no idea about it.  If he was black, that would not be the case.

Just now, Johnny Sack said:

99.8% of Americans have no idea about the Elijah McClain murder. Hell, 99.7% have no idea about the Walter Scott murder and that DID go viral. The reason some shit gets more coverage than other shit, hell the reason some shit goes viral on social media while other shit doesn't, is mostly random. Yes, the race of the killer and the race of the victim can factor in, but nobody at any media outlet learned of the Daniel Shaver story and made an intentional decision not to cover it because the victim was white.

Until very recently, cops killing people were wholly unremarkable and not-newsworthy stories. Reporters generally believed whatever the cops said and they might have written a story that got buried in the back of the newspaper or got axed altogether for more ad space, because the public didn't give a shit. Social media has changed that (and is still changing that), but if the cops get to have the first word there's still usually little public interest, so there's little reason for media outlets to dedicate extensive resources.

Both of these.

This case had ONLY bodycam video from the cops, which they held back for a long-ass time (as is their practice of hiding their shit).

George Floyd's murder was filmed by numerous onlookers, and went public literally that day, in the immediate wake of the murder.  That has a different effect on the public.

[Johnny Sack 8,397]

You don't think there would be an absolute shitstorm if Floyd was not taped by onlookers and bodycam video showing that, which was far more egregious than Floyd, was released two years later?
