I found these quotes, from the article, to be rather interesting:
"There weren't public demonstrations soon after the shooting two years ago or protests moments after the verdict."
"The outcry [of the verdict], however, has stayed on social media."
"In Mesa, where the shooting took place, and in downtown Phoenix, where Brailsford was acquitted, the uproar has not resulted in any public demonstrations."
Anyone else notice the interesting part.....?

I read it about a year and a half ago. It was pretty good, but a little far-fetched in places. I think if it were written today, Liberals would be the main villains, with muslims as the favored class.

For some reason my computer doesn't like the link, but guessing this is pertaining to the motel shooting? If so, the body cam shows a very high strung officer with a nice piece of firepower and a guy who starts following instructions like they tell you, but for some reason he rises up slightly and his right hand appears to be going up and back as if reaching for a weapon.
In my opinion, if I was the officer responding to someone pointing a rifle out a window, and a guy on his hands and knees suddenly raises his right hand and moves it toward his belt I might not have hesitated either.
Body cams should be mandatory.
Did any of you guys see the WHOLE video?
I did and wish I hadn't. I think the cop in this case is a chicken S&%$ coward. He was barking orders at this poor guy that a sober person would have had a hard time following. The guy was obviously scared and weeping and asking not to be shot.
Looked more like he was trying to pull up his pants than trying to reach for anything. This cop seemed to be wanting a reason to shoot.
I understand police never know what they may run into and they put their lives on the line every day. They have my respect for that. But not this one. Bad apple in my book.
I'm not posting this to debate or argue with anyone. It's just how I feel in this particular case. Sad sad deal...
Looks like a bad shoot to me.
Why didn't they just walk up and cuff them while they were laying flat on the floor in the first place?
Barking commands at a drunk person is rarely productive. They should have expected less-than-perfect compliance, making them crawl like dogs like that.

I believe the fact the two individuals where right outside the doors to the motel rooms is why they wanted them to come down the hallway away from those doors. Not sure why the guy reached back like that?

It looked like his pants were kind of sagging, slipping down. He may have just been reaching back to pull them up real quick. Crawling on your knees will do that if you're wearing loose-fitting pants.
The guy was drunk. You can't expect him to be thinking clearly in the heat of the moment like that.
The cop could have simply warned him again to keep his hands in front of him. He would have still had plenty of time to react if a weapon had actually been pulled out.

I agree with lAGC and Darrell on this one. Clearly the guy was murdered by a chickenshit cop, We should riot. That cop was on an ego trip for sure, Hard to believe he got acquitted..
From what I saw he was crawling forward on his hands and knees, then the cop kinda of blocks the guy from view for a second and then he's shot and his right hand is raised near his back. He was on his knees with hands straight in the air before he was ordered to crawl forward. He was on all fours after that.
LAGC is probably spot on about the guy reaching to pull his pants up.

Agree the cop could have waited another split second to verify a weapon draw and would still have had enough time to react.
It doesn't look like a good shoot to me at all, guy was clearly distraught, officer clearly had the upper had, he should have taken control of the situation and de-escalated it and everyone would have gone home. Plus, a guy drawing on you at that distance would be a slow draw and he would probably miss the shot.
I just watched a state sponsored MURDER. Fry that MOTHERFUCKING cop and the assholes with him!!!!!!!!!!
My God.

I'm usually pro-police but this was murder, plain & simple.
That little nazi asshole should spend the rest of his life in a cell.

I read somewhere the selector of his rifle has a "You're Fucked" position. Be that as it may, i recall a similar shooting where a cop shot someone drunk who was reaching for his hat after the wind blew it off his head. The guy was out looking for the guys who stole his little girls bike, as was the cop.
"And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
That was written on the dust cover.
