He made him crawl, so he could have a reason to shoot him...which he did. He’s a f#%^ing murderer....with the law backing up his actions. He will be fired because of public pressure, but will be walking while the victim will be rotting.

Saw the video. The title was right, it was an execution. No excuses, anyone in the military that did this would be brought up on charges.

The cop did not know he was unarmed and the perp made movements that he may have been armed. I guess you would like the cop dead so you can feel better.

I don’t know what the call was thet brought the cops there in the first place that put them so on edge.

Someone saw the man through his hotel window with his pellet gun.

” etching on the dust cover of the rifle Brailsford used to shoot Shaver, which said “You’re f–ked,”

That sounds like something a serial killer would do.

I wonder if he has a locked case full of trophies.

So what was the purpose of having him crawl fifty feet on his hands and knees instead of just having him lie face down with his hands behind his back and cuff him without further drama?

More time for the guy to make a false move he could use it as an excuse to waste him, just like in the movies?

Brailford is a failed movie star wannabe, after all.

Except this was Arizona, not Vietnam, or Viet Nam as we used to call it.

Care to describe in just what manner this man was “perp?” He received a call from the front desk telling him they needed to exit the room, which they did and walked straight into having a weapon trained on them with a deranged asshole barking contradictory orders. So, go ahead, what did he perpetrate?

Just trying to ensure I got this right. I can now defend my use of a firearm by citing normal ‘training tactics’, and if the training was wrong, it’s not my fault? Hot dang, free fire zone for everyone!

That is exactly what is going on. This Lewinski guy and his ilk have blood on their hands. They train the cops to be trigger happy, then testify that they were following training when they kill a guy. What's the poor jury to think?

I beleive in the rule of law, not the rule of anonymous people who weren’t on the jury watching online videos.

That’s pretty much what did happen. Abysmally bad police tactics, combined with as execution of a man clearly doing everything he could to cooperate.

Yup. Attitude is sorta the same though, ain’t it?

This cop was entirely legally justified in shooting the poor distraught SOB. The Police, reacting to a guy with a pellet rifle like they were going to be the first responders at the next Mandaly Bay, scared him shitless and made him crawl like a dog, and when he screwed up and reached back because maybe his pants were coming off, or his junk was twisted in his undies while crawling, or maybe he was going to draw down on a crowd of loaded, aimed rifles.

Bang you’re dead and I didn’t murder you.

It may well be law, but it isn’t justice.

Ages ago I got out of a car at gunpoint, two county guys responding to a liquor store robbery, I’m driving the same make and model as the bad guy, apparently. I was as compliant as I could be, but I was pretty freaked out, and I’m sure they could have let me have it with those shotguns when I put my hand below my waist when they told me to get on the ground.

But that’s when cops were less militarized and neither of the two were looking for any legal reason to blow me away that day.

It’s kind of like the cops shooting dogs thing. They don’t know when the dog is a psycho hair trigger meat weapon or just the family servant acting wary around a stranger.

Because of guys like Mr. “you’re f**ked” that’s the way I feel when I’m approached by an officer.
