    if this guy was following training, then the city should be sued and needs to update their training
    as this was not the way we the people expect cops to behave

    So which is it ? Liberal media or Black radicals ?

    To say Liberals avoid talking about whites who were shot or beaten by police is a LIE
    Which is what you seem to indicate in this post:





    I have quoted from the very Liberal news group "Young Turks" and other Liberal media who have expressed
    their outrage, in no uncertain terms, regarding the atrocity here committed against Daniel Shaver, etc.
    ..............................................................................................................................................who, by the way is white,



    No sir - you have NOT answered my question - You have simply made an Unsubstantiated allegation
    ......................................I am simply asking you to support your contention with verifiable Facts

    They win either way. As for me:

    We're not that similar after all.

    Both

    Since obama left office the left has realized that the black “thang” is not working as well so lately they have tried to broaden their appeal

    But its too little too late

    We can try to change the laws peacefully

    But the argument from your side has been that “unjust” laws can be ignored

    Where I see the problem is these teams were first organized by large cities. Now practically every rinky dink police department has a team. These teams are expensive with their training and military toys and these departments don't want them sitting around doing nothing. So they are put to use in situations that cause unnecessary escalations of violence.

    If taxpayers no longer provided all the needs of drug users, the problem would correct itself.

    How should a cop behave when a guy suddenly reaches behind his back, mere feet from the cops, and despite the fact he has been told with extreme prejudice, that to continue to do so could result in him being shot?

    Still nothing but allegations - NO citations whatsoever

    & too late for Daniel Shaver - that's for sure

    Now you are getting to the insults.
    As a cop I was never a coward but freely admit that I went on duty everyday terrified of being killed.

    OK. let's have a reasonable discussion.
    How would you want the officers to be trained to prevent this scenario being repeated in future?

    I'm not sure how that's possible short of a revolution (peaceful one hopefully).

    Any law, just or unjust, can be ignored at one's own risk.

    “The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and the name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it; an unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed … An unconstitutional law is void.” (16 Am. Jur. 2d, Sec. 178 )

    This is absolute BS, and seems to be the norm with sympathizers to these cops that MURDER people.

    There was an UNVERIFIED phone call of a man POSSIBLY waving a rifle out the window. Did they have the right guy? There was no active shooting at the time and no one shot. What kind of situation did the caller really see?

    COPS PUT THEMSELVES INTO THESE SITUATIONS. THEYRE RESPONSIBLE AND NEED TO GIVE PEOPLE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. They're the ones that physically walk down the hallway and confront an unknown situations. This decision needs to come with the threat you may be shot, BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PREEMPTIVELY KILL someone. It's simple. No ones yelling, all is calm, if you're afraid to approach that room, DONT.

    If something's amiss or they're afraid, get backup, pellet guns, tazers, flash grenades, whatever you need.

    There was not a violent situation, no one was shot, no distress or imminent threat in that building. Not until the cop put that man at gunpoint was there a verified situation.

    I'd have that POS cop on murder 1 and have him executed. He put himself in harms way. The moment you do that, the benefit of doubt remains with the citizen until there's a PROVEN threat.

    Police work is inherently violent and dangerous

    And no one is perfect including cops

    It is obvious
    to any clear minded person, that Daniel Shaver stumbled and was falling over when he was brutally MURDERED -
    He was NOT reaching behind himself to retrieve anything, he had NO weapon, nor had he anything else
    to reach for.or retrieve - And I doubt very much, given his obvious terror that he was trying to scratch his ass

    Look at the Video - Daniel Shaver obviously stumbled -
    Commanded to preform a physically impossible maneuver - while under the threat of Death.
    ................................if he should in anyway Fail this utterly ridiculous sadistic command

    The Command on pain of Death

    "To crawl forward on his knees, with his hands held high in the air, and with his legs lock crossed behind him"

    Try it - see how far you get - H
    e was then MURDERED because he could not preform this contortion

    I call these Cops sadistic homicidal psychopaths because I grant that they may have IQs higher than
    ...............................................................................................................................room temperature on a cold day

    Coolio posting style. Dang, that must take some time to do.

    Next time try including facts that can't be disputed by the video.

    Agreed.

    But if you're afraid, unsure if you have control of a situation, don't point a gun at someone...

    Would you want that? Held at gunpoint by an erratic cop, knowing you're about to get shot. You are about to DIE, because the cop isn't calm, and is going to shoot for any reason he PERCEIVES.

    That scared? Wait..... there is no emergency. Get backup, someone more COMPETENT.

    If someone was shooting up the building I get it, it's a bad situation that needs to be rectified fast.

    It's calm there, the only erratic behavior is the cop, in a situation he put himself.

    That's the thing. The moment you walk down a hallway, into a situation that's unknown. I have zero sympathy for you. And all sympathy for the person at the end of that barrel. They're innocent until guilty.

    Anyone defending this type of cop behavior is cancer on this society. I hope one day all people that believe the cop was justified find themselves at gunpoint by a cop that perceives a possible suspect. Just so you can see how vile and disgusting your view is. Watch as you frantically try to follow bizarre commands you've never followed before, knowing your life is about to end.

    Cop job is dangerous. DEAL WITH IT OR QUIT. They have no right to shoot someone without provocation. Especially not FIVE TIMES. This verdict is a travesty.

    True !
    But when our mental & /or moral imperfections result in the MURDER
    ........................................of someone for NO good reason, we do hard time

    And young Marines never have friendly fire incidents and never accidentally shoot an innocent in combat?

    If you are so worried about being shot by a nervous cops, then you must be up to things you shouldn't be doing.

    I don't fear cops, as I don't give them a reason to be scared of me.

    I have 100 times greater fear that I will be attacked on the rare cases I'm doing business or travel through a bad area.

    Any Project Innocence types that mollycoddle violent felons are a cancer to society.

    Facts that can't reasonably be disputed in the Video

    He could have been been safely approached and handcuffed while he was spread eagle'd on the floor

    He was repeatedly terrorized by maniacs screaming at him & consciously escalating the situation with
    .................................................................................................................................us threats of immanent Death

    He was commanded to preform an utterly impossible & ridiculous maneuver on pain of Death

    He was MURDERED when he stumbles attempting preform the commanded maneuver,
    ( we see him begin to fall over before the AK opens up on him )


    A Fact latter verified -
    He had nothing to reach for. Therefore an inadvertent stumble, a failure to preform an impossible command
    ............................................................................................................ is the only viable explanation for his faux pas

    The Cops set the rules of their stupid game - "Fail to comply with our impossible rules perfectly, and we will Kill you"
    .........................................................In this regard we can say - they acted flawlessly

    In my neighborhood suburban swamp area, we did have an incident a few years back when a young guy the next street over said he was going to kill himself and kill cops. So naturally they didn't have 1 or 2 cops with soft body armor knock on his door. That would have been stupid. There were at least 3 local SWAT teams set up with many other cops who sealed off our neighborhood and had the SWAT teams stack outside his house. The crazy dude was taken down without a shot fired. I was glad they were around.

    Our local "rinky dink" police forces have regular patrol officers doing their routine duties, and are on standby to link up and form teams. Basic AR rifles, plate carriers, kevlar helmets and ballistic shields are not all that expensive. Maybe 3000 dollars for all that. And a thousand rounds of AR ammo only runs 200 to 300 dollars. Consider that the cost of single police car is around $35,000.

    All and all, very cost effective to have SWAT officers on standby.
