Newly released body camera footage shows a police officer shooting an unarmed man in an Arizona hotel after the man sobbed and pleaded with officers not to shoot him.
The graphic video, which was released after a jury on Thursday acquitted the officer of murder and manslaughter charges, stoked outrage on social media and renewed calls for reforms in law enforcement.

Always posters who will side with the police no matter what.
Not only was he shot in cold blood but watching that video i thought this is what it must be like in North Korea. They treated both people like they were already convicted. They totally demeaned them and treated them like garbage.
Why didn’t the jury get to see the video
no mention why\if this video was shown during the trial ?
Have him Try 12 drinks of Diet Pepsi
It clearly indicates that you have NO idea how the majority of police actually think or feel!
What we do know is this:
Not a Single Officer present made any attempt to Arrest or Disarm the Shooter
Not a Single Officer Filed anything with their superiors or the DA demanding the Arrest for Murder of this Officer.
Not a Single Officer “Publicly” says what the Shooter did was wrong. In Fact they ALL support him “Publicly”
just because people say things in private does not make it true, character comes from doing the Right Thing regardless of who is looking. You should probably try taking out your emotions before speaking what are obvious falsehoods about the attitudes of Police today.
What they Say in PUBLIC is who they really are.
Are you a cop? Have you ever been a cop? Whenever a cop shoots someone all the other cops high five him later at the station. They do the same thing when they have “baseball practice”. They were doing that back in the 70s when I was a cop. I was told in no uncertain terms “you didn’t see anything”. That’s why I quit. I wasn’t sadistic and I didn’t have to carry a gun and a badge to prove I was a REAL man.
There were numerous cops present.
NO THERE WERE NOT!!!
There were however a lot of “Law Enforcement “ officers there, unfortunately not a “cop or Peace Officer” among them, if there were they would have opened fire on and killed the Shooter with the Magic Costume on.
Hitler’s SS were “Law Enforcement Officers”
Andy Griffith was a “Peace Officer”
Video of Shaver’s execution by jacked up thug was withheld from the jury for the thug’s “rights”. So, it was just lawyer vs lawyer spewing words. Think the jury might have come back with a different verdict had they seen Shaver on his knees with hands raised, then complying when ordered to lie flat with hands laced behind his head, then trying to comply - while terrified, being threatened with being shot multiple times, sobbing, begging not to be killed - with these insane, contradictory instructions about crawling to the thug?
The murderer is not the one issuing commands like a tyrant; I hope they both rot in hell.
FEMINIZED. A simple taking into custody turns into a protracted instruction heavy screaming incident that ends predictably. A cop imported from 1957 would be looking at this thinking the prep had anthrax or an atomic bomb. Why? Simple. Being a cop no is longer Manly job. What we see here is a protocol that evolved to allow weak woman to do the job. Instead of doing as men have been doing since time immemorial we see a girl, basically, pointing a deadly weapon and talking, screaming and a veering that a “mistake” is automatic death. A MISTAKE! I make mistakes EVERY DAY and WITHOUT having a screaming gun man blithering on endlessly. After seeing this video I will NEVER EVER ASSUME ANY COP IS DECENT OR CORAGEOUS OR NOT HOMICIDAL.
This cop was so far outside the lane he is supposed to stay in as a LEO; he can only be considered one thing now and it isn’t a LEO; it’s murderer.
Right on!
I live in Mesa about 4 miles from where this occurred and have been living with this for months and months and months, nonstop. So you dont get to lecture me about it. Shut up.
How did the cop know he was pulling up his underwear? How do you know he was?
Watch your mouth cop hater.
You’re a liar.
Spell out in plain English what you want to say boy. I know a lot more about the case then you ever will. I live about 4 miles from where it took place. Dont you ever lecture me on this. You’re a liar to say anything bad about this cop.
He reached for a gun, or that was a reasonable and necessary assumption by the cop, AFTER being told NUMEROUS times to obey and having to keep being reminded to comply with lawful orders. Of COURSE he was shot.
You are a cop hater and a liar.
You’re a liar.
If you call that cop a murderer you are a liar.
