" . . . and as long as you do NOT drop your hands for ANY reason- you will come out of this alive and well[,]”

You're interpretation of the whole event is poor. The cop, evaluated with poor job performance ratings, ordered Shaver to crawl on his knees with his legs crossed. You try it. Shaver had underwear that he was losing. So, again, you try crawling on your knees with your underwear falling down. Terrified, Shaver reached to pull up his underwear. That's very clear from the video. He was trying to comply with the officer's orders.

Further, a department investigator, not named in news accounts that I have seen, said that he saw no reason that the officers could not have simply walked over and handcuffed Shaver.

It is clear. The cop was looking for an excuse to execute shaver. He got it, and he shot and killed him.

Murder. Pure and simple.
