One day the cops will shoot an innocent person NOT resisting arrest, but it hasn’t happened yet.

They went to serve a warrant, and were shot at.

They responded to gunfire with gunfire.

If they were not involved in criminal action they would be alive in every one of these cases.

It happened but the guy was white.

And it was caught on video.

He was an exterminator and had some kind of pellet gun he was showing some people.

Someone saw him with it at a hotel and called the cops.

He was made to crawl on his knees with his legs crossed and he pants were falling down as he performed the policemen’s requested stunt and they lit him up with gunfire because he tried to pull his pants back up.

But he was white so it didn’t get the same media coverage.

Following an investigation, Brailsford was charged with second-degree murder and a lesser manslaughter charge and found not guilty by a jury.[1] Prosecutors argued the shooting was unjustified.[2] In March 2018, it became known that the United States Department of Justice had reopened the case and was looking into a possible civil rights violation by Brailsford.[3] Brailsford was reinstated to the Mesa Police Department in August 2018, then over a month later was granted retirement on medical grounds, as well as a pension of $2,500 per month.[4] Brailsford’s lawyer has said that Brailsford suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder due to his shooting of Shaver and the resultant criminal trial.[5]
