Come on! That's like saying 'cheques in the post', 'of course I didn't do it', and 'I promise, not in your mouth'. People lie.

I'm not saying the cop was right, not at all, but to be reaching for ANYTHING when a US cop is pointing his gun at you is mental. Utterly mental!

Everybody still talking thug who attacked a cop?

Funny how these stories never get posted on here.

Guess her life didn't matter.

How many times did the cop say, "Don't reach for it", or "Don't pull it out"?

When you ignore those kind of instructions, in that kind of situation, the outcome is predictable.

If he had a CCW he should have been aware of precisely what his actions should have been.
He got the first bit right (telling the cop he was carrying), but got everything thereafter very wrong.

If he was the kind of person intent on shooting the cop would he have bothered to declare that he had a gun?

We don't know if he was reaching for anything, the video doesn't show that!

His GF is saying 'don't'. She can see what's going to happen. Black guy with a CCW, BF still moving hands and a US cop who failed the Toys'R'Us interview...tragedy almost guaranteed. I would have frozen, absolutely still.

You make a very good point, I can't imagine anyone that was considering shooting anyone else telling them that they had a gun
Unfortunately many people don't see it this way and I am miffed as to why this is the case

Seems like a massive overreaction from the officer - swearing on approach to the vehicle, then nearly strangling the guy by trying to drag him out without undoing the seatbelt.

Strangely seems the officer failed to mention the reason the accused couldn't get out the car was due to the seatbelt still being done up..
No doubt the guy isn't an angel, but I don't see that as being an acceptable arrest method.

White Police Officer shoots black off-duty Police Officer

[ZX10R NIN]

You couldn't make it up but maybe it needed to happen for the Police to stop this "In Fear Of My Life" carte blanche excuse they use all the time.

American cops shoot unarmed Australian woman in her pyjamas for approaching the Police car she called.

They cannot use the excuse she was only black this time, so apparently they're scared of fireworks.

A cop kills a sobbing, unarmed, inebriated, and terrified man who was doing his best to follow the officer's confusing instructions.

If you skip to 4 minutes you'll see somebody's son crying in fear and crawling on the floor towards the cop before the cop shoots him several times.

Hard to believe that the officer has been cleared. Utter, utter murderer.

Why does america allow this to happen? The fact the cop shot for or five rounds at a man on the floor that is obviously inebriated shows me that this cop is out of control and shouldn't be trusted with a water pistol let alone a high powered rifle. To give a drunk multiple instructions like that is a total travesty, to act like your in Iraq dipuring the war and you suspect the guy has murder in mind is disgusting.

Appalling by the cop (Brailsford). What sort of communication / instruction was that?

Why would he have the suspect (Shaver) to move towards him when he could have him in the prone position with his arms out in front?

This is why, unfortunately, Brailsford was acquitted at court. Shaver reached back towards his waist which gave him the belief (or at least he claimed to have) that he had a gun.

Absolutely horrific.
