How terrified that poor victim must have been while trying to follow this officers rambling and conflicting commands for several minutes. There is no excuse for this.
Reaching for one’s waistband is never a good idea when dealing with the cops.
The clown officer was ranting kneel, cross your legs, making over the top threats, etc. He is an extreme nutcase.
The problem is that unless you are a cop you do not understand the things they have been exposed to that make them perhaps a bit too fast on the trigger. They want to go home safe & sound at the end of their shift too. The investigator noted he did not see anything that would have prevented officers from simply handcuffing Shaver as he was on the floor.
What really surprises me is the fact that a jury found him not guilty. But all in all it is a tough call either way.
Bottom line for me is that this person does not need to be in law enforcement.
