RAW VIDEO: Ex-Mesa police officer continues to testify in own trial on Thursday (Part 1)

- A former Mesa, Arizona police officer charged with murder in connection to the shooting death of an unarmed man took questions from the prosecution.
It is ironic that in this court of law, Philip Brailsford is having a hard time following instructions and answering questions - which need to be repeated over and over. Could that be because he is nervous and doesn't understand? Now - I wonder how Daniel felt with an AR-15 pointed at him and he feared for his life? It cost him his life! Would you be able to follow instructions perfectly? Any lawyer worth their salt would have made this the point of the proceedings, and perhaps Mr. Brailsford would have seen a jail cell...
Very good point, too bad the prosecution didn’t have a little sense!
Yes that’s right , look at him sat there like a little basted coward worrying now that he’s gonna get raped in fucking jail. The fucking cockiness has gone right
Absolutely!! This is the best comment I've read yet or thought of myself. You can't imagine what kind of stress this young man was experiencing. And, you are right he is not doing very well with following directions. Great comment.
He's not 'misunderstanding the questions', instead he's not giving direct answers that would otherwise testify against himself admittingly. On one hand, a question without a consensual answer is a form of incorrect sourcing of information, however answering a direct question with an indirect question whilst not illegal, is considered a dishonest and guilty form of testifying. Most defence attorneys will tell you to either stick to your original statement given prior to the court hearing or to simply state nothing at all, or 'no comment'
A basic example is;
If a man gives a cake, made with milk, to someone who is lactose, and that said person gets sick.
If questioned 'Don't cakes normally have milk in?'; to answer 'Yes', confirms that you acknowledge you are guilty of supplying milk. However to state 'I did not know milk was in that cake', acquits you of any possible intention to harm. If you're then asked 'witnesses state that they saw said person claim they are lactose to you', is this true? If you say yes, you're admitting to knowing that the cake COULD harm, despite not knowing if milk was present. However if you answer 'no comment', the question is considered answered.
Prosecutors will try time and time again to answer these questions multiple times, and differently to get the answers they need, either by slipping up or other means. They will also try to ask very vague questions for answers that are much more important to the case than may appear, and therefor trying to ask for a more direct question, or literally to avoid a question that may lead to something, even if it's clearly unrelated to case, is often used. An example such as; Is it true you do not like fishing?. It has nothing to do with the case what-so-ever, however if you state 'correct' and the defence then props up a picture of you holding a fishing rod and a fish smiling, you've then just told a blatant lie to the jury. Further attempts at justifying the picture just incriminates yourself further as someone who 'does not remember', 'lies', etc etc.
This whole case is extremely text book.
Long story short, he was very well informed how to save his own ass.
The most serious and worst part of this is when she is trying her damned hardest for him to admit in some form that he intended to shot Shaver. It is quite disgusting but is what court is.
That is one part that annoys me because he kept on being confused by simple questions that were explained over and over again but when he was aiming a GUN at an UNARMED, AFRAID, INOCCENT man he didn't care about how the man felt and how he might be confused by what he was saying especially when you are telling this man that you will most likely kill him!! It sickens me.
i am a retired police officer that worked in brooklyn for 20 years. This video was so sad and preventable! 1st you are trained to take cover. Make very clear your commands. As you could see, this poor male was very nervous and confused with your commands. Why did you have him to lay on the floor? These two suspects could have been control the same way you do a felony car stop!! Make one suspect at a time walk backward with both arms raised straight up until told to stop. Other officers keep visual while one approach and handcuff and search. In my whole career i never had a possible armed suspect do a dog crawl towards me! Of course you want to do this away from room 502. I am glad you are off the force. This wasn't the job for you. You are too nervous and scared to do the work. You killed this poor innocent man and should have been found GUILTY! May he rest in peace. May you have nightmares for what you did. Surprise you didn't shoot her too?
Sir what you say it's TRUE.
Thank you for your service sir. This man wanted to kill for fun.
He wasn't shouting the commands that was another officer behind him
I agree these cops were not well suited for the job, but incompetence is not the same as criminal intent. Who hired them? Who trained them? Who evaluated them, etc? There is more responsibility to go around.
@@TomBrooklyn That is one of the reasons why defunding the police would be just stupid, they will get even worse training, I would say that they should fund the police more so they can train them better and look who they hire, I mean 24 weeks of training is ridiculous short
If you ever watch/listen to interviews of murderers, they often sound like Philip Brailsford does here. The denial, excuses, lack of emotion, deception, all common traits of a sociopath.
You can just tell he literally doesn't even feel care or feel bad that he did it. Murdered an unarmed, innocent, frightened family man in cold blood and he's completely remorseless about it
So Phillip Brailsford is basically a more successful equivalent Tyler Barriss, who became a cop. Or am I thinking of Charles Langley, or perhaps both men guilty of the first-degree murder of Shaver?
Further, the voice tone is lower and more quiet. But we must remember it was Langley who was shouting orders at the time of the shooting.
This guy needs serious prison time. He's a danger to society. His actions were totally unreasonable and unwarranted.
If you get absolutely smashed drunk, start pointing a gun out a 5 story window, and repeatedly fail to follow the instructions of police at gunpoint bad things can happen. Thats a tragedy, not a crime.
I'm not saying Shaver was an angel. I'm saying a moron cop who gets a report of a gun and never sees one and decides to use deadly force, is no better than any two bit murderer or rapist. He's dangerous. He let his emotions dictate his actions and that sir is a tragedy. This moron cop deserves to be in prison for shooting a man who didn't even commit a crime. And what does a person's sobriety have to do with being shot by a cop who had no idea his victim was even drunk? If he was drunk at all. It's irrelevant. You ask any cop if he/she was in Shaver's position. None would shoot. If this guy fears that a man on his hands and knees following the orders of the officers is a threat, he's dangerous. There's no telling how many people he might kill if a real dangerous situation occurred.
during the testimony, they made the difference between perceived threat, immediate, and imminent threat. this was a situation of perceived threat since there was no gun visible. even Brailsford said it was a situation of perceived threat so no deadly force was necessary as considered by the experts
Aaron Barnes how was he not following instructions? If he wasn't fully compliant it wasn't because he was being hostile it's because he was scared and when you constantly have officers yelling at you telling you they're going to kill you and telling you to shut up, I doubt ANYONE is going to keep calm. You say it was a stressful situation for the cop but that's why you go through the academy. Being an officer is a very strenuous job and this officer obviously wasn't suitable for it
Vincent Chase he was not following directions, the complete video has been released. There were two people involved, one followed instructions and one did not. The one who complied was unscathed. If i get insanely drunk and brandish a rifle and fail to follow simple commands of Leo's and reach to my waste line after being told I would be shot if I did it again but did it anyway I have no one to blame but myself.
Truly feels he did nothing wrong. No remorse. Guy deserves 25 to life
he didn't do anything wrong though, the guy made a sudden move like he was drawing a gun and then he shot him, thats what he is supposed to do in that situation
How much of a threat is an unarmed man, on his knees, pleading for his life, faced with 4 murderers with guns? They could have searched him when he was stretched out, face down on the ground.
This cop baited him to give him a "reason" to kill. I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life.
The cop that shot wan't the one giving the orders.
joeashbubemma exactly.....
They didn't know he was unarmed. That's why he was at gunpoint in the first place.
The cops asked the chick if Daniel was armed and she said she didn’t know. I do think they shouldn’t have had him crawl down the hall. The cops didn’t know if there were other possibly armed civilians in the room that might come out shooting if they walked down the hall to the suspect.
Chris C well maybe they should have had him standing walking backwards down the hall with his arms up
Actually, this officers boss, or whoever the officer was that was screaming the orders, should be fired and tried as well.
He quietly resigned and according to TMZ he is currently hiding in the Philippines in order to avoid prosecution. When in uniform he is drunk with power but when he faces legal action he tucks his tail in between his legs and hides halfway around the world.
That's what I said. The soldier was only following orders.
bigmike4758 I don’t think he’s avoiding prosecution as much as public backlash. I doubt they would try him since this guy wasn’t convicted.
@@A.C31 doesn't matter, different set of circumstances for both men, same charges but different circumstances.
aunt jenifer You want to try a guy for yelling too loud after the actual trigger man was acquitted?
Wow so he basically got away with Murder. The father of two kids had no chance this guy wanted to shoot that man. Unbelievable.
Agree
He didn't murder him, he followed protocol for that specific situation the body cam footage shows that. The suspect putting one of his hands out of sight made this a justified shooting.
Jeremy Gunn The SS also followed protocol according to German law,that didn’t make it moral.From the women that called 911 to this officer,not one person ever asked is he pointing at or threatening anyone with the gun?It is not only NOT a crime to have a gun in your possession but a constitutionally protected right so the police should not have even been there.It’s also not a crime to be intoxicated in your hotel room.I don’t believe this officer was guilty of cold blooded murder but I would say 5 against 1are pretty good odds even without body armor and fully automatic weapons against a man crying and lying face down in his underwear.Police take the job voluntarily with no one forcing them knowing it can be a dangerous job.If they are that scared of 1 man crying in his underwear and begging for his life when they have 4 of their buddies backing them up with body armor and fully automatic rifles then they are definitely guilty of being a coward unfit for the job they freely choose.Most importantly this cop was thrown under the bus by the very people that trained him to be such a coward,and a jury of people just like you let them all get away with it because you are all brainwashed into believing these guys are heroes instead of the cowards they are.If you can face Daniel’s widow and fatherless young children and tell them that their dad sucked at a confusing as hell game of drunken Simon says but it’s ok he’s dead because the police followed protocol then there is no hope for you and more innocent people will die.
You could have made this a little shorter since I lost interest half way through it and I'm not brainwashed. I've had alot of good interactions with the police so I'm supporting the cops all the way. You can believe that he did something wrong but the body cam shows that the intoxicated man did not follow orders and put his hand behind his back which mad the shooting justified. Also, I don't see the point of you adding the SS into your comment.
Jeremy Gunn During the Nuremberg trials the SS guards all claimed they were just following orders/protocol but were put to death anyway because what they did was immoral even though it was legal.Nobody should ever receive the death penalty because they are bad at following orders in a very stressful situation.I can guarantee you would have made the same mistakes as Danial even sober which again it’s not a crime to be drunk.Even though we disagree I would not want you shot for being bad at following orders ,for all I know you could be mentally handicapped and incapable of following orders or logic.
He definitely cracked a huge smile when he walked out that courtroom. While the other guy lays 6ft under
As a former Police officer and a current law student, the thing that I find most disturbing about this man's testimony is the fact that he, without facing a drawn gun or Police barking at him, is unable to process simple questions. Indeed, he has to clarify basic requests from Counsel. Now, I wonder what his responses would have been if he was looking at the business end of a carbine, while being degraded and given impossible commands.
This unnecessary Police shooting is causally linked to deficiencies in training. Had they taken the time to visually clear the subject "before" putting him in the prone position (i.e. one hand in the air and request that he raise his shirt with the other, while turning around, to expose his waist band) Mr. Shaver would likely have had the opportunity to see his kids grow up. Police need to remember that we all swore an oath to "serve and protect" not "degrade and destroy".
It's important to note that the "mistake" which Langley said would result in Daniel and Monique's summary execution was walking out of the room too close together (Source: ruclips.net/video/yRb5JK23D0E/видео.html
) But they were obeying the instructions given to them over the phone by Bryan Cochran, Langley's subordinate. So Langley punished them for his own incompetence and compulsion to harass people.
Brailsford knew this, and not only refused to speak up and help Daniel, but fired the shots that killed him. Then lied on the stand about feeling scared.
Agreed. He too wouldn't be able to concentrate.
To some officers it’s comply or die.
Nobel undertaking and supposed to honest given oath be damned.
@@globalresearch4180 great find!! I've become obsessed with this case after the senseless George Floyd killing
Right! He sounds very mentally poor
Unarmed citizen shot dead on his knees.
after minutes and minutes of mental torture at the site of a barrel in your face
Bob L44 execution! No problem apparently.
"Execution."
The defendant killed an unarmed, crying, and terrified man. The Prosecution Examination is a critical moment in the trial, perhaps the most critical. So why is the prosecutor so aloof? Just messing around with her papers, pouring herself a drink, long pauses, when the defendant doesn't answer a question, she simply moves on... This lady is NOT advocating for the victim, which is her job.. She lost the case in which she has the murder on camera....What an aloof, obtuse, incompetent... Do know that a man's life was taken from him by this defendent? She doesn't care about the victim and that is a big reason why he did not receive justice!!
Matt Connolly agree. This sedated women’s cross examination, is as corrupt, and pre-planned, as the cop murdering that poor guy!!
Matt Connolly maybe if she had kids herself, she might give a flying fuck! My guess is she has none. The cop on trial had “you’re fucked” engraved on his gun- prior to this murder. Just a peek into his twisted mentality.
Matt Connolly civil lawsuits against these fellas is better. He'll pay for it.
It doesn't matter that the kid was crying and pleading. That has no technical weight over him being at gunpoint under the presumption that he is armed. Just because we know in retrospect that he in fact was not armed doesn't mean that the officer was unjustified in firing at that time, after it was stated that a threatening move would result in them firing. I don't know what you ignorant people don't get about that. If you are a police officer, it is already known that death may occur at your hands; sadly, the reality is that it's part of the point. The officer may need to kill to protect, not because he wants to, but because he has to. In this situation, the young man, presumably an assailant with a gun, was instructed at gunpoint to not reach. He reached, and the officers fired accordingly. It's sad, but it doesn't mean it's to be assigned to someone else's soul. It's a tragic event
A man begging and crying for his life while crawling under threat of death with 5 assult rifles pointed at him isn't reaching for a gun. The murderer could have waited 2/10 of a second to actually see a gun before executing him. That guy was hoping for a reason to kill him, so he did..
The bottom line is that they had so many opportunities to handcuff the victim in this case. I don't care that they were worried about someone else being in the hotel room. That's just an excuse. And just listen to his testimony… What a joke. Acting like he doesn't understand anything and dodging every question. Very very sad situation for the victim and his friends and family.
There is a lot of police officers out there that is scared of there own shadow, and bad police officers cause good police officers to get killed. I have got to the point when a officer gets killed in his so called line of duty, I morn no more, you will not see me waving old glory when the Hurst passes by. They need to learn you give respect, you get respect. And if you are so scared of your job, go flip burgers somewhere !!!!! If someone is breaking into my house and there maybe a chance of harming my family, I will not call the police, only after I have finished protecting my family. And then I will call them to clean the mess and bodies up when I am done protecting my family. That would be all they are good for. Is cleaning up the mess.
@@johnnybynum967 facts!
"When someone gets close to you they become more of a threat" Then why did you tell him to crawl towards you? seems like you gave him orders that had a built in excuse to execute him...
The police have to deal with threats even as they escalate. The distance must be closed in order to secure and search a suspect.
@@TomBrooklyn Didn't you just read what MICAH BABLITZ said ! ? REPEAT - He said that Brailsford commanded the victim to crawl forward, shot him, then in Court made it as his excuse that the Threat Level increases when a person gets closer !! The guy on the floor crawling for his life, was in no position to escalate anything.
@@MikeCCO Brailsford wasn't the one giving the commands. That was Langley.
@@countacolor Not a prob, I'd have taken them both out. (Charlie Chaplins Office)
Exactly. Cop is either a psychopath bully or a halfwit paranoid bully.
I've watched the tape over a lot. At no point did the guy look armed and not complying and begging for his life, all throughout the unnecessary Simon Says game.
The judge was also poor..he should of make this guy answer the questions instead of playing dumb
YES!
I think this guy killed dude because of the captain who didn't do a good job of taking point. Also this prosecutor is weak. She should've pointed out how he isn't listening and following orders well and she's talking to him even toned and she doesn't have an assault rifle! Still the captain ramped the situation up soooooooo much he in my book is to take much responsibility for the blood that spilled. I'm hurt by this and just wished it never happened.
The Sargent is an idiot and has no business being a cop. But the fault for shooting someone lies only with the person actually doing the shooting.
Prosecutors always go light on cops, judges and politicians when they commit crimes. They only go full throttle on those who can't afford a defence attorney.
No it was murder. He wanted to murder somebody and was waiting for an excuse to do it
Nah this ass wanted to do it. He’s talking all calm now to seem innocent. Google the engravings on his guns
High threat Level?...the victim was crawling and begging...PlayStation Cops thought the guy has reset button on him..
The suspect, though on his knees and begging, also reached behind his back to his waistband, against repeated orders not to do so...twice.
@@TomBrooklyn Hmmm he didn’t pull anything out the first time? It’s almost as if he clearly wasn’t armed and the moronic cops had a hardon for playing Rambo.
How did this individual get acquitted? WTF
David Gaugamela David is that true this cunt cop got off with this murder,I'm from the uk.
He totally wants to go "a few good men" on this weak ass prosecutor. The DAs office in MESA is in need of a drastic overhaul. The questions and repetition is a joke, sorry but she's terrible. Stick to the facts lady, you want him to find fault in his own actions. GRILL HIM! Man she's very weak, congrats Railsford you got a mouse for a prosecutor.
Two words, incompetent prosecutor.
L Olsson and get people together and make it happen . Cause if he was black it would be a problem cause we don’t play that shit . This court shit is a Joke & a game we see it all the time !!!
God will repay and it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.
I still can’t believe this! If I was that poor guy, I’d have been shot also. It’s a fact when you’re stressed (as victim clearly would’ve been) it’s hard to think clear. He’s legs would’ve been weak with fear. Cop seems cold as ice and seems like he had zero regret. I don’t get it. It’s scary! Wheres the parents, or family of victim? I hope they got millions. That guy was mentally tortured prior to being killed. The screaming alone, would cause many people confusion as to what this cop expected! How many times can this sedated cop reply “I don’t understand”. And what kind of training did the victim have? Being screamed at like a dog and told your going to die.
...Exactly..I was thinking the same..Poor guy,!!He died in terror...😭😭😭
Cops are cold until something happens to them. The. They cry like babies
Wow, prosecution is incompetent. No wonder he got off... The officer doing the yelling was the one who primarily caused the death anyways.
This lawyer sucks!!!!! Why doesn't she ask "would your training allow you to move twords him while he was lying down with his hands behind his back?" I wish I was the lawyer instead of her.
She was slightly better questioning Langley at the preliminary hearing, but you're right.
Ikr? She is horrible.
Yeah I just don't get it. It's like she's trying to throw the case.
Joe Schwarz Lawyers, judges, cops---all Freemasons committed to protecting each other.
The guy basically follow instructions to his death
He's a liar. Obviously. Pretending to not understand BASIC LANGUAGE REPEATEDLY AS A TACTIC TO MISLEAD AND DECEIVE PEOPLE.
He should be convicted of perjury.
Wonder if he would understand if had gun next to his head
Yeah, he's pissing me off with his Bullshit!! All of a sudden he doesn't understand english and can't recognize basic yes and no questions.
What is prosecutor's name?
Holy cow, she is pitiful at her job.
Pitiful job---on purpose.
Seems dry and setup?
It's painful listening to her. As much as it's painful listening to the psychopath killer
Clearly the defendant doesn’t do well under pressure; disgusting how he played god with unrealistic expectations of a human. Whoever allowed him to be on that call should be fired ASAP. Entire scenario is beyond asinine and civilians deserve better.
Jaimee M. - Hi beautiful. Yes, this little puss is a threat to society and deserves punishment by the people and not the crooked justice system.
Rey T Careful with all that, sugar-muffins. That could be construed as a threat. You wouldn't want a run in with a bunch of cops who think you've threatened a....cop, would ya?
I just saw this for the first time. How this guy got away with murder is beyond me. How in the world this happened without the same public outrage that is happening right now in America is unbelievable.
Y’all should go out there to get him in prison! Less talking, more marching.
I want to find him and just become one of his stockers that’s it nothing more than just following his every move 😊
How come all the shots fired came from him, didn’t any of the other cops came to the same conclusion that the victim presented an “eminent threat”?
Killed an unarmed man who was fearing for his life.this was murder
I just got pissed off when this murdering cop said that when mr. Shaver got closer it gave him an inadvertent tactical advantage against us.
The cop yelled at him to crawl closer for no reason. No reason because he was compliant and scared and subdued and willing to be handcuffed.
But no, this cop had to play bully control games for no reason.
Looking like the fucking Zodiac Killer.
His inability to answer simple questions shows that if he were the one being barked at to crawl he would have been shot as well.
he better stay in hiding for a long long while..
assclown Careful. That sounds an awful lot like a threat. Wouldn't want to have to deal with a bunch of cops who think you're threatening one, would ya?
I dont give a fuck. I would take him out with a smile on my face if I had the chance
Move out of state bitch
Johnny Chingas You're a cop lover?
Enrique Perez No that was meant to that bitch on the witness stand.
This is the worst prosecutor i've ever heard. I get a headache listening to her. She's not convincing in the least.
His annoying the shit outta me I would’ve spoken in Spanish and cursed him right in the spot
Agueda Valdez wow, that must scare him... :/
They had "Many Many Officers" respond to this emergency call, but they can't spare ONE COP to go handcuff the guy completely willing to lie face down on the ground with his legs crossed, with his hands in front of him while lying on his stomach, and instead have to instruct him to Crawl Without Putting His Hands Near His Waist.
What he can't get on his hands and knees just like Daniel did!!? That's too degrading for him??😒
and who in the court objected on his behalf?
I think if the cop barking orders wasn't so aggressive Daniel wouldn't have been so frightened and made that critical mistake. RIP
My first impression of this guy is sadistic tendency
Indeed, he was even caught on video assaulting someone previously: ruclips.net/video/1HEZm5em3dY/видео.html
@@globalresearch4180 He didn't assault someone in that video. He took down a cocky, belligerent, disrespectful, undisciplined and obnoxious teenager who challenged the police's authority and dared the police to "make him" get down.
He knew exactly what he was doing and did it on purpose.
This has me so pissed..this is y we don't trust cops or the system..he's A killer..this judge is as much to blame for not allowing the jury to see the vid..jus not right.. this hurts me..
The job of the police is to protect and serve the ruling class/new world order so when they commit murder the system in turn protects and defends them, by any means that may come: rigging the jury, getting the right freemason judge in place, excluding critical evidence. Of course the video IS the evidence, and its all thats needed. Cold blooded murder. These cops are pathetic cowards of the highest order, as they act all hyped up like they were in danger. Real men do not hide behind their badges committing murder because the corrupt to the core system allows them to get away with it. Your judgment day will come murderers, and all those as well who stand by and defend your murderous masonic brothers in blue.
"The job of the police is to protect and serve the ruling class/new world order", pfffffhahahaha!!!! Is that why people in the ghetto bitch so much about as much as seeing a cop car patrolling their neighborhood??? If cops came to the ghetto to just murder people, why wouldn't they just let the residents of said ghetto do it themselves as they've been doing for decades?! Next time you need them, and you very well may one day but hopefully you don't, don't call them.
Keks McKekerson fool..first off u fascist..rascist little person lol..was this man who just lost his life in the ghetto!! HahHH..no he's in a hotel..they should let rich men who can afford high power weapons to continue to assassinate hundreds.or run up in your kids school and assassinate more kids.or maybe blow up a school with your kid in it..or go in a movie theater where u and your kid is and shoot it up..or maybe let a rich man kidnapp your kid chop em up then eat em!! Every crime does not happen in the ghetto u dum fuck lol..get a life..
israel Smith An overwhelming amount of crime happens in the ghetto. It’s funny how he mentioned the ghetto and you automatically thought it was a racist comment. It’s understandable to think that given the demographics of shitholes.
The jury shoud of been on trial,unbelievable !
Everything has to be repeated for this executioner he doesn't understand anything.... but he knows how to pull a trigger and devastate just devastate the family of an unarmed man. This man has been coached to act like he doesn't understand.
prosecuting attorney isn't great either. she was all over the place and officer testimony was often disjointed
I didn't see a gun.he said but shot him anyway
This guy is a smarmy, insecure, little man. He's the kind of cop that enjoys lording over and abusing people with the authority he's entrusted with.
This is a common occurance in iraq...when I was a marine we secured people like this all the time and we don't shoot them if all you gotta do is let the others cover you while you approach...Thats rifle training week one stuff...they provide mental tools for coping with Combat stress. He keeps bringing up training, with as much preparation time as they had the srgt should have discussed that. . . I live In mesa and usually support the police but this guy fucked up...everything that happened could have been avoided with a tiny bit of teamwork but instead death occurs. The label on his gun "you're fucked" is unacceptable for a service weapon system of any kind...the fact of the matter is this cop and his srgt straight dont know shit about apprehension on the move...a situation is just tragic and for the record srgt screamer Is not as tough as he thinks he is and needs to get over himself, he had everything to do with the escalation of this situation...he later received so many death threats from the public he went into hiding. These guy were a bunch of ametures, the choices the victim made also werent the smartest ever but they clearly had time to gear up and Dismissed a plethora of non leathal alternatives carried by two men and actual firearms by the others. They could have called a k-9 unit...2 dozen strategic options were ignored here and instead they turn it not into a desperate attempt to save lives but to feed their ego and impress their buddies...they never would have made it in Afghanistan. #fuckedup #doyouevencopbro #seriously
"he was asked if he understood the demands and replied that he did"...excuse me? he tried saying that he didn't understand and they screamed at him to shut up
This prosecuting attorney's cross examination skills are pathetic.
Justice for daniel shaver
This guy was beat up in school.
Bullshit.
D the Brailsfords are like the Mob of Phoenix lol?
Meekseek yea you can tell he was a pussy who just wants authority over someone ! You can see it !!!!!!!!
D lmao sound like a pussy ! Handle your own fuck him and his family
Oh. For sure he was beat up and bullied
Prosecutor: “what does presume mean??”
Brailsford: :/ umm come again
No wonder he was not guilty
I like how he's deflecting on every single question. I don't understand what you're asking me, like I said, this is how I was trained, what do you mean? I did not intend to shoot him even after screaming at him telling him I was going to shoot him if he didn't cross his legs, raise his hands straight up in the air, and crawl to me without falling over. He killed this kid execution style. He's screaming at him giving him unrealistic directives and then blows his head off when he loses his balance even though he is crying and begging for his life. You're a murderer and just because you got off free here, doesn't mean you'll get off free when you stand before the almighty. That's the judge that you can't escape.
This prosecuter is a joke.
- Why didnt you talk to your father?
- Did you every come in contact with anyone that was intoxicated?
- Is this how you looked that night?
- I dont like what hes saying
- What is a imminent threat?
She's trying to get him to commit perjury. Cause it's clear he's not being completely honest.
Four years later this case needs to be reopened. That judge made so many appeal able mistakes that he should be removed from his bench. . Ive never heard of a murder trial where the murder weapon wasn't allowed into evidence.!
So ...he answered questions wrong and made a mistake....Does he get shot???
*I'm a Native Texan and we down here, Have very close and unusual relationships with guns.and I would just like to say. This Clinically ill man should of NEVER NEVER be given the opportunity to behind a firearm. Much less a AR-15!!!!.
So I can say emphatically that this is a True Power hungry Gun Nut. Just like the Road Rage person.
They are so nice and normal but they get behind a 4000 truck and instant cray cray!!.
Whoever put a gun in this mans hand was setting off a ticking Time bomb and was responsible for this poor innocent mans death*
Disappointed in the DA with this cross. Aside from the weak line of questioning, and irresolution, the DA failed to best assert herself throughout cross examination by allowing Phillip Brailsford to insert non sequiturs and tangential statements while he was asked to respond simply with a, “Yes” or a “No.”
It’s a shame there was no attempt to more poignantly illustrate the witness’ perturbed temperament as well as his overall air of consternation, to the court.
Hes not qualified to be a mall cop. If 1000 officers were brought in one at a time to take his place 30 sec before the illegal killing, i truly believe that none of them would have taken that shot. Im an ex cop and im absolutely blown away. Steve
He's lying he was on a POWER trip the video clearly shows.it.
Braisford you will live with this for the rest of your life an innocent soul will be with you for the rest of your life
I keep coming back to this case. I can't explain how deeply saddened I am that this case was so botched. This man should be in jail, he is an absolute disgrace and a murderer.
Absolutely… and absolutely no one remembers that guys name who was gunned down in the hallway by this (former?) cop.
I keep coming to this case because english is not my first language and if a police officer makes me follow orders like this guy did to daniel, I'd probably end up getting shot too....I can't understand why they just didn't handcuff him while he was on the ground
I keep coming back too. I am just so disbelieving that a legal system, a justice system, can proceed without any part of that system seeing any wrongs. Even the judge seems complacent. Nor was all the evidence presented ie no audio on the video. I can't make sense of it all.
If the jury found him guilty....The jury wold have to go into protective custody from cops by cops....High...
Every time a cop gets away with cold-blooded murder, I want to barf.
She asked a lot of pointless questions that benefited him more than incriminate.
that's their plan , to help get the cop off .
I Watched this,
I'M SICK TO MY STOMACH!!!! YOU KILLED A UNARM MAN!!!!! JUSTICES WAS NOT SERVED TODAY!!!! May God have mercy, on your soul!!!
He’s so confused about the attorney’s questions but expected his victim who was shot dead & killed for not following his demands absolutely perfectly… Just purely despicable!…
He wasn't giving the commands
If I ever get in deep trouble I want the same prosecutor. Rip
To many excuses.. . When you take the gun out of their hands this is the stupid mess your left with in a uniform.
He said its his duty to watch his hands. His hand came back in open before he shot. He seen his hand was clear and still shot him
Not particularly. From Langley’s bodycam, this is the case. But from Brailsford’s glasses cam, his hand is not visible.
Why wasn’t the body cam used as evidence in this case?
GOOD QUESTION. The judge didn't allow it? No wonder the prosecutor failed.
There are so many evasive maneuvers this man makes that an innocent man wouldn't even bother with
I watched the video. First of all the officers did not know there was a gun, they acted on hearsay from a call. Of course they had to go prepared. But even there they did not see anyone with a gun, yet they executed an innocent man who committed no crime. I would also add that police officers are essentially public servants that volunteered for that job, and their salary is paid with taxes from people like Daniel Shaver they killed that day. As public servants, cops have no right to put their own safety above the citizens they signed up to protect and serve, in fact they must be willing to die rather than kill an innocent man. So what if Daniel put his hand behind his back? Thats no reason to shoot him, they should not shoot until they saw an actual gun, even if that means they have to risk one of the cops getting killed or injured, its a risk they must be ready to take. If they don't like it they can quit and find another job. By shooting someone on a hunch like that is extremely selfish, something a gangster or terrorist would do. People should refuse to pay taxes until cops training are changed, or else realise that it could happen to any of you who is in the wrong place at the wrong time like Daniel was. Daniel would have a much better chance of being alive now if he simply politely refused to move and stay on the floor with his hands on his head, they would not get away with shooting him then. Cops must be prepared to die rather than kill an innocent man.
I understand the police have to respond to calls about alleged people with guns and treat it seriously, but they need to act professionally without gunning down any innocents in the process. If you watch the video after they shot Daniel, they try to enter the wrong room using keycards, retarded cops.
The police are a gang. One former officer from TX, who they actually tried to kill but survived, said he was told that by another member of his department...that they are a gang. The only difference between cops and street gangs is cops pretend to be something else...making them frauds. Although they do provide some public service, they are not really public servants...they are servants and enforcers for the ruling elite, enforcing their policies, like the phony war on drugs for example. Cops go along with false flag terror attacks, the phony war on terror, drills passed off as reality like Sandy Hook...the cops just go along with all of it and are far more part of the problem than the solution. There isn't room for good cops in the police state of Amerika.
They are a gang of enforcers for the ruling regime, which operates a lot like the mafia.
At that point, they wouldn't know if Daniel was telling the truth. Multiple 911 calls saying a gunman was pointing a gun out the window did not help the situation. Especially after the hotel shootings (on the concert goers) happened more recently.
@@leannemo7382 The shooting of Daniel happened before Las Vegas shooting, while Obama was still president. There was one person reporting it to hotel reception of seeing a gun in the window, but thats not reason enough to shoot someone. A lot of objects look like guns, and as it turned out this was not a gun, but BB air rifle for pest control. And if they seriously thought that this might be a terrorist or mass shooter, then why did not they send a specialised SWAT team with flash bangs and tear gas etc instead of the retarded trigger happy neighbourhood cops?
@7:25 "The door was still 20 feet away." Sorry, but lmao.
He repeated that he was going to shoot him three times.
Premeditated.
You can’t crawl with your legs crossed. May God make this mans life miserable for as long as he may live. Man this makes me mad. Hope I don’t get terminal cancer
2 different people. Sergent Charles Langley yelled the commands. Philip shot.
Just by looking at him you know he’s a cowardly weasel .
Why would this murderer have the suspect crawl toward him if he knew this would give his victim a tactful advantage? Was he hoping that would give him an opportunity to do what he did? This cop isn't just a murderer but a liar.
You're referring to Langley.
What most people do not realize is that he wasn’t the one issuing the commands or talking in the video. It was his senior sergeant giving the confusing commands. The sergeant should have taken the heat.
Ok, so my dad was a cop. He was a military police officer for 12 years, 4 of which he was deployed in a war zone. After he got out of the military, he became city cop for a couple of years . Then he went back into the military as a weapons trainer. I grew up around cops. I played with other cop's kids. Went to barbecues with cop families, they came over to our house to play cards every week. In junior high when I went to my first school dance, my dad chaperoned, in uniform and he drove the motorcycle so he could park right outside the doors. My dad died of cancer a few years ago but I know this case would tick him off. (he hated corrupt cops more than anything, even more than being called a cop..lol) My dad never shot an unarmed person. Not only that but being in the military and being around a lot of other military police I ended up knowing a lot of cops growing up. I only ever heard of one of them shooting an unarmed person. Only one cop, one time in years of being associated with police officers. And when it happened that one time, everyone knew. Everyone felt bad for the guy that did it because he had to shoot but his whole life was being turned upside down. So something seems really off to me when you look at this case and this Brailsford guy has shot and killed two unarmed citizens. How likely is that? According to statistics nationwide last year 68 unarmed people were shot and killed by police officers. 68 in thousands of shootings and with millions of cops and untold millions of encounters. Yet this guy, I don't know how long he's been a cop but he looks really young has done it twice now? All the police officers are looking at the tape going "IDK the guys hands went out of sight" and I know they hate to judge another officer because it's a scary /hard job. But there were 6 officers in that hallway and 5 of them managed not to shoot an innocent unarmed citizen that day. SO the other 5 cops were negligent because they didn't see a threat and take the shot? And how many other police out there have shot and killed two unarmed people in two separate incidents in just a few years time? I don't buy it, I think this Brailsford guy is a psychopath that was playing his own version of a first person shooter game where the rules allow him to kill if the suspect fails to follow orders and that is murder.
If going to arrest two unarmed people is high stress for you, you shouldn't be a cop
I have a premonition about this guy, that he's gonna kill again - Outside the Police Force obviously !
He actually heard him sobbing, not just crying, he was begging for his life. He had already made up his mind, you could feel the intention. He was going to kill him if he didn’t do what he was told.
This (TRIGGER HAPPY) cop jumped the gun that killed that boy on his knees & begging you not to shoot .the way you guys had him laid out there was no danger to the police .well I hope you can sleep well at night after killing that boy . IM sure you have heard what GOs AROUND COMES AROUND some day (FATE) will more than likely call on you .watching you in court I see you are having trouble understanding perhaps you could call your SARGENT to explain it to (YOU) like he explained to the guy you killed ,YOU WILL ALWAYS KNOW (YOU) JUMPED TO QUICK
The sergeant was the one giving the insane commands. He retired. Free and clear. Probably still carries a fire arm. This guy was fired. That's it.
He is just a cowardly creep, on a power trip, that he thought he could get away with anything, and he mostly did , till now when he is having a quiet drink, and someone's goes " are u not the guy that" and that will happen a lot, believe me.
I thought that the US is more safe than Russia, but i have a different opinion yet.
I Dont know, I'm from Hungary, it is a very poor country without cars, electricity, channel. Vampires and zombies are living here, and the trolls have poor english.
It is very safe here when compared to other countries. It's just that if and when things like this happen here, word of it spreads like wildfire and you don't hear the end of it for 6 months. By what I've seen on Russia, considering traffic rules alone, America seems MUCH safer.
Me too buddy. Me too.
Have you been to Russia to have a comparison? In Russia they can beat you up (not kill/murder you) for being stupid or they can be very friendly even help you push your car if it breaks down. If you say America is a free country then you are being mislead. Once it was, hasn’t been for a long time.
Murderer with a badge is set free. License to kill. This is injustice.
He shot an unarmed man 5 times almost point blank who was on his stomach not looking at the officers. The waste line was easily observed after shaver raised his hands which lifted his shirt exposing his shorts seem line. In the video I can tell shaver wasn't armed.
I have experience in these situations and there is no exuse for this murder. Nor is there accountability.
Training does not over take moral compass and discernment. You were bullying the unarmed suspect. There were immoral commands obviously confusing him.
Police murder more innocent people than any other group. Gods justice will serve you.
If you feel you were in the right you are not repentant. Thus , before the Lord you will pay the ultimate price.
What's not clear in the shooting video is that this officer was not the officer shouting the commands. That officer, by his choice of words and tone of his voice, unduly and needlessly increased the tension in both the suspect and this officer who fired the shots
That's true
His face is without any emotions, like soul
Hes smirking too.....
At 16:30, the answer is YES, everyone knows this. But what does this liar do? INTENTIONALLY MISINTERPRET THE QUESTION, THEN ANSWER A DIFFERENT QUESTION, FORCE THE PROSECUTION TO REPHRASE THE QUESTION MORE SPECIFICALLY, then DENY IT and claim he doesn't remember. How Ludicrous.
He does this every single QUESTION
His sergeant should have been standing trial right next to him for inciting the shooting and giving ridiculous commands.
You have 5 cops against 1 unarmed citizen . What would they do if they were facing a real criminal ?
And his evil little smile pisses me off to. Killed an innocent man and had no consequences
sonmeone answer this one for me..if it wasnt wrong then why was he fired? why would his department not stand up for his judgement ? it pisses me off so bad that he can sit there in that courtroom like he doesnt give a fuck and then become confused on certain questions...just as confused as that guy was with 6guns drawn on him while being yelled at by some jerkoff rookie kid cop
What's sad, is they were saying he was fired for an unrelated incident. And the person that was yelling at the victim, giving him orders, in the video, was the sergeant, that was in charge. Whom had been on the force for a long time, and a few months later retired, and moved out of the country. The sergeant, also said, that he would've shot the victim as well, had this guy, who DID shoot the victim, not been in his way. Basically he backed, this piece of shits, decision in shooting the guy. Fuckin bull shit.
I'm not justifying what was done but he was following orders, I don't think it was right but to say it's 100% his fault isn't right.
The guy yelling instructions should be tried for murder too. What a psychopath! Just so unnecessary and violently threatening. No wonder the poor guy couldn't think straight.
change the outfit on a rotten corrupt officer so he looks nice still is rotten.....one day he will.have to answer for this murder!
How was the video not shown to the jury. This was a crucial part of the evidence!!!!
and how do they feel now?
Not only is this POS walking free, he was able to get a PTSD disability retirement for his murderous actions. Highly offensive.
Murder. He wanted to shoot the guy. Murder. No question.
He deserves the same.
He makes me so sick looking at him.
I’m confused I thought it was always get down, hands behind your back, freeze don’t move and then they come to you and search... since when is there a direct to crawl toward police?
Hallway situations are different. Much more dangerous too.
@@countacolor yeah but did you watch the video?? They had this poor guy on his knees, no weapon on him obviously. If this dimwit is so scared to approach a man on his knees, pleading for his life. God I'd hate to see him in an actual active shooter call. He'd probably piss his pants and go in shooting🤦🏻♀️
@@MandaPanda0929 It was not obvious he didn't have a weapon. The motion Daniel made with his hand was very similar to someone about to draw a gun. The officer testified that he felt certain in that moment that Daniel was going for a gun. He had a split second decision to make, and I don't think we can fault him for it. Put the blame on Daniel for being stupid enough to point a weapon at people from his hotel window.
@@countacolor You mean the pellet gun that he used for work? Oh god, I guess he really deserved to die. Was your comment supposed to convince somebody of something? I blame the person who pulled the trigger because they're the one that did it, and it's on video too. It couldn't get more crystal clear if you wanted it to.
If this following training, then the training is fucked and that leaves me absolutely terrified to call the police.
@@countacolor so if it's presumed he has a gun why would the cops ask him to approach closer? Wouldn't it be safer to instruct him to not move and keep hands visible
Karma should haunt his dreams and rob him of any good sleep for the rest of his life.That also applies to anyone who set him free.
This prosecutor is as incompetent at her job than this cop is at his.
''I DON'T KNOW" "I DON'T UNDERSTAND" "I DON'T KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCE?'' "AT WHAT TIME?",HIS MOUTHPIECE TAUGHT THIS NERDY/ARROGANT COWARD WELL. TOO BAD THE JURY DIDN'T SEE THE VIDEO OF DANIEL CRYING/BEGGING FOR HIS LIFE AS HE TRIED TO FOLLOW RIDICULOUS/CONTRADICTING ORDERS AND SADLY FELL TRYING TO CRAWL..
That's a good definition of stonewalling. Stonewalling is a refusal to communicate or cooperate. Such behaviour occurs in situations such as marriage guidance counseling, diplomatic negotiations, politics and legal cases. Body language may indicate and reinforce this by avoiding contact and engagement with the other party.
