The Shaver case is well beyond politics. There is nothing conservative, liberal or constitutional about an agent of the state killing an American without just cause. It is deeply wrong regardless of party or ideology. Bernie Sanders voters and the most ardent Trump supporters all should be united in outrage over the death of Daniel Shaver.
Maricopa County District Attorney Bill Montgomery got it right by charging Brailsford with second degree murder. The jury got it very wrong. Shaver should be alive, and his death must be taken as a call to action. Police departments should establish that a suspect always has the ability to show hands and lie down on the ground for arrest. Complicated law enforcement commands that require mobility and balance — under threat of execution — cannot be an acceptable standard.
When good faith efforts to respond to police commands can be met with a hail of bullets, we are all in jeopardy, and the work of all law enforcement officers becomes more difficult and dangerous.

Demographics is destiny
“And that’s why I assume they’re ALL psychotic murderers.”
Of course they are,all 600,000 of them.
Strange.
Back in my day cops rarely pulled there weapons and a lot fewer suspects, and a lot fewer cops, ended up dead. Now there are too many cops who want to shoot something. If not a human at least a puppy. And cops who stand guard at the thin blue line are just as guilty.
And the cop in South Carolina planted his taser on the dead perp
but let me add- they aren’t making ‘too many mistakes’ - the actual number of actual mistake,s or outright rogue actions is very very small- it simply seems large because it’s all that hte4 media obsesses over- in the hopes of stirring up passions to the point where cop killers go on rampages-
it actually estimated that there are over 900,000 police- and less than 1 percent are rogue trigger happy or criminals themselves
This latest cop shoots somebody incident has sure put Free Republic boot licker gang on the down low
About the only thing positive to come from the poor mans death
I believe you-—I was being sarcastic.
Clean up your act, coppers!
You defend that psychopath all you want. You’ll forgive me if I don’t wish you a nice day. riiiiiight?
my sarcasm detector is in the shop for repairs :)
riiiiiight- have a nice day
May you encounter one of your estimated 9,000 bad cops in an up close and personal way in order to open your eyes.
Some of them boot kickers have no soul and long tongues. There are a few defenders running around. Disgusting.
Only 1 percent? Awesome! Run the goddam one percent out of the station house. Then we won't have to assume you're ALL psychos. Here's a hint: When some freak has "YOU'RE FUCKED" engraved on his rifle, he's a psycho. Show him the door.
Police your own ranks, cops, or you will be policed.
Only that this thread would go like the two from yesterday.
What happened? Did they get pulled? I got a bit fired up on one of them, and then it disappeared from my “Pings” page ...
You are so full of MIERDA
You tried hard to be rational but you played your silly hand with that last sentence
Good lord
He moved his hand while lying on his stomach being given conflicting commands
So i killed him
Simple to a bootlicking cattle car door operator
The guy who wrote this is former CIA and NYPD
HARDLY A COP HATER FOOLIO
And you have a Daniel Shaver day.
How many here have actually had cops draw down on them?
We sure got some experts here
I’ve yet to see an admitted current or ex Leo on this forum not condemn this shooting
Which is good
