I think maybe they should let the mob have their way with that cop. I would like to see the look in his eyes when he realized the inevitable. No one should be above justice and if there’s a God I’m sure he took note.
@@pirizzo No they shouldn’t. He deserves it, but we shouldn’t induce a further betrayal of the law, for what he did. What we should do is find out why and how he got away with it and hold the folks responsible accountable. I don’t know which snakes are responsible, but they should be held accountable for their incompetence.
The fact that those two cops did not get prison time is appalling. The shooter is now living off the taxpayers dime, and the MONSTER who was shouting commands like a madman just was allowed to retire, probably with full pension. Everyone involved is corrupt.
@@selfademus well its not all doom and gloom the croc and alien both have to walk across the legos to eat me. Why doesnt my space suit have shoes? thats a very bad design. Your feel will turn to jerky and like how do you pressurize it?
They're all the same. Their egos are inflated from constantly being able to tell people what to do. They think they're superior and they lie like nobody's busy.
Mama Petillo.... 'There’s nothing more dangerous than a weak and fearful person seeking dominance and authority, while armed.' That sounds like the average American gun-owning male.
this case always haunts me. disgusts me how this wasn’t bigger news. not nearly enough outrage. the fact the officer never faced any prison time is the worst part.
i hate to say it, but its because the victim isnt black. its sadly peoples initiative to make cops seem racist, and not that they are untrained or that they need more extensive mental health checks and the police academy needs more difficult criteria to become one.
@@Seth9809 i have no idea why he wasnt, this is my first time hearing of this because as long as it doesnt fit the medias narrative of constantly wanting to divide everyone, they wont go over it. i agree cops can be both, but a major psychological evaluation and extensive training should be implemented instead of harming the actual GOOD cops reputations :(
@@nawidk its as if you ignore the fact that for every caucasian this happens to , there are about 8 Black people that murdered that way. I knew one myself and his murder barely made a dent in the news because there wasn't a "spin" to sell ads and paper. Black death sells ads because white people feel detached from it . and when a white person is murdered the same way , it gets "personal" and dignity is preserved . Black men's death brings revenue the exact same way a white woman like gaby petido brings an immense amount of revenue but from a place of empathy.
Traffic "citations" are intended to get money for cities AND to give people an incentive to stop bad driving. Legislatures realize about the need to discourage bad driving, but they haven't responded to the need to discourage bad policing. I was in a store and a cop was in there, he started watching me, hoping apparently I would shoplift and he could make a misdemeanor arrest. They do see everyone outside their tight circle as needing to be jumped on.
I remember this case. The video was extremely disturbing. The police were VERY aggressive and Daniel seemed terrified. To me, the police got away with murder ☹️
Police depts literally hire almost anyone...all it takes is a high school diploma. They don't even extensively mentally evaluate their prospects. Protecting and serving has never been top priority...it's all about control and inserting violence and authority.
Crooked attorneys got the video thrown out, the jury never saw it. I'm guessing both sides of this case sort of worked hand in hand on this one because the charge of murder would be MUCH more difficult to prove than manslaughter or a lesser charge that it was at least mishandled in such a way that cost a life. So sad there are fatherless children because of this.
THE TURTLE TRUTH IS: All non-police (Good People) and churches religiously pray for that glorious heavenly day when Jesus and his arch-angels rip the arms and legs off self-centered narcissistic hateful police after pulling out their psychopathic filthy lying hateful tongues that spew vomit and shit on good people for ego, and paycheck! (That glorious day gets closer with every passing prayerful day!) Police are the most hated humans on planet earth, and in heaven! (There is nothing a cop wouldn't do for a paycheck!) - Turtletruth (Semper Fidelis).
I feel the fact his (the cop) lawyers were able to have the video evidence classed as inadmissible is crucial. It's hard to believe if the jury saw the video they would've acquitted that cop.
@@Kwekwe I wonder what those jurors thought when they finally got to see the video. I hope it haunts them every day of their life. Those cops should be in prison.😠
The officer who shot Daniel had, “You’re fucked”, etched on the side of his AR-15. If that doesn’t scream, “I’m eager to kill someone”, then I don’t know what does.
Really tragic and infuriating. I feel no shame in saying I think it would be beneficial if some kind of vigilante justice was doled out to that officer
@@MsLax45 I totally get it. This world could use someone like Frank Castle or Dexter Morgan. Someone who goes around and kills people like the officer that killed Daniel (for legal reasons, this is not me encouraging you or anyone else to engage in acts of vigilante justice, and this is not me saying that I plan on engaging in an act of vigilante justice).
The impression I got when I initially saw this video years ago was that the person issuing the commands was sadistic by nature and the totally wrong person to be wearing a badge.
Yes, they could have cuffed him when he was prone. Making him crawl towards them like a dog and knowing he was scared out of his mind the police should have handled this way better. If I were his family I would definitely sue the hell out of the police department.
@@HENSLEYDMB you do know shaver the tyrant was found not guilty? That punk killed an innocent man then hes found not guilty now hes on pension for life cause he quit the tyrant force! 😡
I just said that when I first saw the bodycam of this a few mins ago. Aggressive d bag, like he had short man syndrome or was bullied at school. Like the guy was one of those types who join the army just to kill someone. Got the impression he'd been waiting for an opportunity to rub someone out first chance he got. Kinda sick guy really
I just knew right away the cop was going to murder the guy by the way he expressed his words being incredibly illogical and power tripping. He wanted to find the slightest excuse to execute an unarmed man crawling on the floor and obviously not a threat. The cop's finger was itching to pull the trigger. I don't understand why the cop bothered to give ridiculous commands to Daniel. The police should just have killed Daniel right away since that was the intention of that cop in the very beginning. This is a clear case of how to murder legally. The police was acquitted and there was no outrage from the public. I wonder if Obama, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton & the American people would have remained silent if Daniel was black. I would imagine massive demonstrations nationwide and major cities in the US would be on fire if Daniel was black. What was so disturbing was the fact that Daniel was crying & pleading not to be shot. The fear in his voice when he was pleading for his life was so haunting and what's more disturbing is the fact that the cop didn't face any jail time not even for an hour and his superior had supported his executioner style of policing and stated that they would have done the same thing...they would have also executed a defenseless unarmed man pleading for his life & crawling on the floor. They needed to humiliate and degrade the man before murdering him and this happened in America. The justice system of America had failed miserably in this case. This is so shameful that a murderer is awarded $2,500/month for life.

both of my parents are retired law enforcement, I always remember my father telling me that most people have no business having power or authority over someone else, he went on to explain that when he was in college for criminal justice, that the vast majority of the class (he said 75%) just wanted authority over some one else and thats the only reason they wanted to become a cop. it scares me how right he is
Our standards for hiring officers should be stringent, standards that show the people with abilities and a brain, from power hungry rednecks, or dorks with a domination fascination. College and mental health evaluations. It should be harder to be a cop than it is to be in the Air Force or special ops. But its quite the opposite. On the job these people should quickly be shown to be what they are. First power trip , out the door you go! We need to do better. The individuals hiring need to be better. The good ole boys club needs thrown out, and qualified and capable people be found. It is quite the opposite at this point. The good old boys do everything possible to get qualified and competent individuals out, lest they be exposed. Make the guys life so miserable he quits the force. When will this stop?>
Both of my parents were also police officers, my father only lasted 10 years before quitting on account of how morally corrupt the higher ranking officers seemed to be. He worked undercover for several years, and many of the investigations lead back to corrupt local politicians, or corrupt officers whithin the department brass. He was going to dump everything he had on a federal agents desk, but my grandfather talked him out of it. Seemed like a good way to end up getting himself Hillary clinton'ed to death.
Cops live for this stuff. Most of what they do is pretty boring---driving around, talking to people about unexciting crimes that will never get solved (my bike got stolen, someone jumped my fence). Shift after shift nothing happens, yet they are constantly told that it's a war zone out there. When they finally get a call about someone pointing a gun, they go into war zone mode, and all reason seems to go out the window.
Yeah the officer was very disingenuous and wanted Shaver to slip up. The multiple threats to shoot him and confusing commands, it was like he was toying with him and having some sick sadisdic satisfaction in having total control of Shaver's life.
Watching a man begging for his life and getting murdered can definitely give someone PTSD. But I'm having a lot of difficulty believing the *officer* who killed him was the one who was traumatized.
@@ChoLovingVampire the white community did not bring attention to this shooting because they're conditioned to worship kops. The media ignores most instances of kops killing blacks. U have never heard of most of these cases. The only times it gets a lot of attention is when the Black community rebels to bring attention to the injustice.
Remember this guy got paid to kill one of your own. Remember he is getting paid everyday for killing one of us. When it happens to you or someone you know, remember you let a government sanctioned murderer walk free.
@@SkepticalMantisCHANNEL10 "the media ignores most instances of kops killing blacks"??? The mainstream media covers many cases of a cop shooting a black person. Have you not watched the mainstream media in the last 10 years? Every single one of these MSM stories is "innocent black man gunned down by a rogue cop". When is the last time you saw the MSM cover a cop shooting a white person? Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin were both covered non-stop by the MSM. The MSM broadcasters raised their hands in congruence with what Brown's lying buddy said he was doing when he was shot. A black eyewitness said that he couldn't believe Brown kept going after Wilson. The media showed a Treyvon Martin photo from when he was a small looking 12 or 13 year old and not a photo of him when he was 17, when he was 4 or 5 inches taller and heavier than Zimmerman. The leftist media also showed a photo of Zimmerman when he was at his heaviest, as to make people believe "how on earth could this small little guy be the one on top of and pounding this big, bulky guy?".
@@jacoblewis4006 for every case of a black person killed by police, only a few are covered. It is only when grassroots protests force it into public attention.
That’s alright, I just hope his family left him, and he can live out the rest of his miserable life with that pension. Hope he gets haunted every time he spends a dime of that money
Watching the bodycam of this murder makes me feel physically ill. Can't imagine what the jury was thinking. And it's even more disgusting that the cop that shot him gets a pension for his supposed trauma.
I remember reading somewhere that the jury wasn’t allowed to see some of the evidence, like the fact that the cop had “you’re f*c*ed” written on his gun (clearly a violent type looking for an opportunity to shoot somebody), or that he was involved in another incident where he used excessive force on some teens but got cleared by his department after internal “investigation”.
I just got nauseous as well reliving this senseless murder of a young husband and father. It's disgusting. They should reopen the case, but double jeopardy doesn't allow it.
And it was determined that this cop did the right thing. When people say there is a problem with policing in America, videos like this prove them absolutely right.
At least some of the bootkissers who insisted Daniel should have just complied will get to take Charles Langley's sick simon says test of devotion. It will be their final mistake.

This body cam footage is one of the worst I’ve ever watched. He was so confused and scared, and the officers just made it worse with their commands. This poor guy.
It gets worse. The city of Mesa paid for the Brailsfords to file bankruptcy as a legal tactic to delay the wrongful death lawsuits of Danial Shaver's widow by two years, in an attempt to force her into poverty so that she would accept a lesser settlement and avoid going to trial. Daniel's widow wanted a trial to expose Mesa PD corruption, but circumstances eventually forced her to settle out of court. During the legal process, the City of Mesa and the Brailsfords challenged the legality of Daniel's common law marriage and the paternity of one of his children, in an attempt to mitigate the potential damages that could be sought in the lawsuit.

This entire case infuriates me too the two officers deserve to be locked up and lose their jobs they obviously aren't fit for duty the way they just execute a scared man in a hallway. Can't believe they were let off.
This case needs more attention and quite frankly needs to be revisited by the legal system. It is an absolute disgrace to think that that criminal received a pension despite this happening. Beyond ridiculous!
@@SexyTCAPdecoy4Hansen can't the family file a civil suit? He certainly has the cash. 2.5k a month cos he killed someone SMH and the cheek to say he has ptsd. Maybe monique should sue for her own ptsd since the cop was the cause. So infuriating u want some kind of justice and getting a full time wage for doing nothing for the rest of your life ain't it
this is one of the most traumatising police shootings i’ve ever heard of. i’ll never forget this shit. the fact these two people were cleared tells us everything
This case scares me. Scares me to the bone. I am neurodivergent and I don't always process information quickly as I have priority arrangement issues. If 6 people are pointing firearms at me, yelling incongruous commands, I may not react as they wish.
I have Epilepsy, and extreme stress such as that can easily cause me to have a seizure. I would have been shot while having a grand mal. That's why I'm absolutely terrified of police.
Yes totally agree. How can anyone be screamed at and told to perform ridiculous commands with all those guns aimed at his head and not make a mistake. What a terrifying situation. Those cops should be in jail for life
Same here. I am ultra careful to never put myself in any situation where I interact with law enforcement. I would not survive because I would probably have a heart attack.
Maybe you believe in Jesus the son of God maybe you don't and I'm not some religious nut. I'm not saying I'm atheist either I have my beliefs and I do believe in God. I also know this... While this cop may be living his best life right now there is a hefty price to pay in the afterlife. To that cop I say live it up while you still can because he is going to be punished and it's going to be severe punishment that's never going to end.
@@AllahuSnackbar270 you see the wild look in his eyes? I think he's a type of guy that would say he has Jesus in his life just to look good but really he doesn't have empathy.

What happened to Daniel Shaver was disgusting. My prayers still go out to his family today, that whole scene was something straight out of a nightmare.
In hindsight it's clear Daniel was getting set up for execution by Charles Langley's insane instructions , the phone call and conversation to the hotel room could , would have explained the drama and air rifle . Daniel should have been ask to lift his shirt and do 360 turn before ordered to the ground and simply cuffed , end of the drama . also have read the trial judge would only allow an edited video with NO audio as requested by the defence but this needs to be verified but could explain the not guilty verdict if the jury don't get to see and hear ALL crucial evidence the verdict can turn out wrong maybe the jury in court never heard Daniel cry and pleading for his life .3 other offices did not fire but Phillip Brailsford fired not 1but 5 shots into Daniel , what a hard core brave heart Brailsford must be . The blue gang of cosy killers . Research another insane police killing , that of Kelly Thomas
Seriously. I remember seeing the video footage when this first happened and I was absolutely horrified. To think this person could get off without charges is the problem with policing today. This guy was a power hungry person who was most likely attracted to the police force because he could use that power in nefarious ways. He's just a sad little boy larping as one of his favorite action heroes or something else stupid. He entered this situation knowing full well he would take the life of someone that night. You can't convince me otherwise.
He joins the victims of Ruby Ridge, Waco and many more. I take comfort that they will see justice in the next life, but I wish they would get theirs in this one.
Thank you for making this. The video of this man sobbing on the floor will be in my mind forever. Please everyone, tell your friends about Daniel Shaver. We can't let this be forgotten.
Honestly, this case terrifies me more than any serial killer situation. The fact that these kind of violent idiots are given the job where you carry guns and act on legal authority is absolutely awful. When there’s a regular killer, at least the authorities are trying to protect you. But when the authority is a homicidal maniac, you’re on your own. Even when they get caught breaking the rules, they face only a fraction of the penalties that regular criminals do.
He didn't deserve to die like this. To imagine the intense fear this young man felt prior to his death. His poor family will never get these images (or the audio) out of their heads.
That cop deserved prison. I feel so terrible for his wife and children. That man begged for his life and was absolutely terrified...the murderer just wanted to kill someone that day. Poor Daniel💔 I heard the woman that was there with him has had a terrible time since the murder.
The fact that the little rodent was walking around with an M4 that had 'You're f*cked' inscribed on it should have been a huge red flag to his colleagues: how someone of that low calibre could get in to the force is very disturbing.
@@Robin-xt7yo I hope she wins. It's not even just a matter of justice, it should be something that's used to force deep structural reforms. It's even worse than cases such as George Floyd's, since at least in that case there can be attempted "excuses" such as some degree of physical resistance (please, I'm not saying it really justifies), but with Shaver there was only complete submission. If I recall the cop(s) on Floyd's case seem to have gotten worse sentences. 22 years in prison for one, according to google's top result.
6:04 the cop asks him if he understands. Daniel answers and the cop yells at him to not speak. SMH It's absolutely like a sadistic game of Simon says! You're right Dr. Grande. There's no effort by law enforcement to do anything other than escalate the problem by causing chaos and confusion.
I once lived in a house that had an upper and lower suite and I lived in the lower. They raided the house based on accusations that the upper tenants were selling drugs. They smashed through my door downstairs with guns drawn and repeatedly yelled me "get down, get down". When I got down another screamed at me "get up, get up". They did this 3 or 4 times over, it was the scariest thing in my life.
I was 13 and struck by a car; my thumb was amputated, my arm was broken in multiple places, several fingers were broken, and I thought my leg was broken *but* I still tried to pull my pants up when I thought they were sagging. Sometimes people just feel like they need to pull them up
This is one of my favorite presentations yet, Doc. That last little blurb about trigger-happy policemen roaming around being just as dangerous as the criminals they're supposed to be protecting us from was incredibly well said. Our nation's law enforcement agencies are in desperate need of a serious overhaul. The lack of training and/or competence that runs rampant among these agencies has reached a level that is downright unacceptable because their blatant ineptitude often ends up defeating the entire purpose of their existence.
@@Seth9809 Money isn't the issue. The majority of LEAs already have inflated budgets. The money just isn't being allocated properly. I think better and (far) more effective training, along with actually holding officers accountable for wrongdoings would be a good place to start.
Oh I hear it. You just paraphrased it so well, it hit home. Let everyone have guns. But can we at least not give them triggers until they pass trigger-happy reduction training? I'd be ok with that.
His widow is on TikTok doing anything she can to get attention to this case. I saw that body cam footage, Shaver was terrified and doing whatever he could to try and survive.
Say what you will about his wife’s lawyer Mark Geragos, he did his very best to get attention for this case. The police clammed up and circled wagons and even gave all the cops involved DAYS to go over their story before summiting their reports. The shooter even got to write his with the assistance of the international affairs department chief. 🤮
I think the problem is divided responsibility. I personally blame Langley for shouting insane commands and upping the tension needlessly. In my eyes, he should be in jail...yet all he did was yell angrily and confuse a drunk man and stress out a nervous young cop...there is no law against any of that. He retired, so he;s not a danger as a terrible cop, so... The man who actually shot and killed him didn't create the problem situation, he just reacted to it. He was brought to a state of hyper alertness and fear with surging adrenaline by Langley. I understand why the jury thought the situation was Langley's fault and he should be held accountable, so let the young, aggressive, nervous officer go. It's infuriating. For the young officer to get PAID for having PTSD (which he may well have...just watching that video is nearly enough to cause PTSD, let alone being there) is even more infuriating. He's suffering because he took an innocent man's life, so taxpayers have to pay him $31,000 a year? It's so WRONG.
@@Andreamom001 I actually have real PTSD, and that video triggered the hell out of me. Actually, just watching this and remember this is triggering me. Langley should have had the book thrown at him, not been able to retire and get his pension.
“You’re f•••ed” was emblazoned on the department approved rifle of the officer who shot and killed Daniel. Quite the departure from “to protect and to serve.”
There's no departure. "To protect and serve" is not the job of the police. That is a term written on LAPD vehicles and has no connection to police duties beyond being a cute phrase. The job of the police is to enforce laws and tax citizens. The supreme court has upheld several times it is not the responsibility of police to protect people and they have no duty to do so. They're there to punish people afterwards.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 Is that normal in the USA, that you have your personal firearms with you in uniform? Aside of course, having such a marking, or patches is highly inappopriate for the police, even if you pay for it your self. You are not a private citizen in uniform, and should not behave like one. But then, they apply the punisher skull at police cars.... I do not have a lot of haith in officers brandishing such symbols or words.
Thanks for making this video. The DOJ opened an investigation into this case and Mesa PD in 2018 after the trial so there is the possibility of future federal charges, though the results of this investigation have not yet been released. Daniel Shaver's widow, Laney Sweet, is also currently suing the city of Mesa for $75 million, though the case was delayed for several years by every effort of Mesa's attorneys and the cops involved. The last I heard a trial date should finally be set in the summer of 2022. His wife had a Facebook page called Justice For Daniel Shaver that was shut down recently but she also has an Instagram (currently private) and a Tiktok where she talks more about the case, as well as a GoFundMe where updates are also sometimes posted.
Commanding him to "keep your hands in the air, do not drop your hands for any reason...now crawl" was insane. The definition of crawl implies putting your hands on the floor.
And he knew it. The way his shoulders slump when they tell him to crawl. He knew they had given him an impossible task and were going to kill him for failing.
The way he was sobbing has always stuck with me. This case, Ryan Whitaker and Elijah McClain are among the worst I’ve seen where the officer walked free.
I was a police officer for inside a decade prior to turning medic. I am familiar with this incident, and totally agree with you in your analysis. It would have been more appropriate to approach Daniel for a detainment. During my police tenure, from a psychological perspective, an us-against-them mentality is fostered through continuous contacts with variations of the criminal element. Those officers developed..no, gardened, a narcissistic foundation in exploiting a sense of being grandiose in their engagements. Daniel's death could have been prevented, but what came out of this incident as a positive is, those former cops will no longer continue to do a job they were unfit for to begin with.
The ultimate task of an officer is to protect lives and not to harm them unnecessarily. Sound judgement is required in this situation. Thank you, Dr. Grande and blessings to you 🙏🎉
The ultimate task of law enforcement is to protect the government/ruling class. People with sound judgement don't wish to do the bidding of our grossly corrupt ruling class
Not in America! Thats bs in the US, the cops, according to the Supreme Court, have no legal duty to protect or assist citizens: Cops are here to fill private for profit prisons, not to help people. They only hurt and incarcerate people
Oh my gosh thank you SO much for covering this. I was friends with Daniel in middle and high school. He was a good person, very kind. When I heard about this I was devastated, especially for his wife and his little girls. Truly tragic. I will always remember his sweet disposition and smile. Thank you again. 🙏🏻
When this first happened, and I saw the video, I remember getting sick to my stomach. Those cops were looking to kill someone that night. If they were charged again in 2021, I think the outcome would be different. The dude was crying, on his knees, pleading for his life.
I was horrified by the footage; but… he broke the Golden Rule of gun safety that includes air and BB equipment. Once you start drinking you never, never, never handle them. Unfortunately they found out why. Very sad and tragic…
Thank you for covering this. I knew Daniel and his spouse personally. The lack of coverage on this case was as upsetting as the outcome. The family he left behind has endured so much.
This is one of the most difficult 'cop shooting' videos I have ever had to watch. It (and the verdict) perfectly illustrate everything wrong with the gun-slinging, U.S. cops & their 'predator mindset' training.
He claims PTSD from murdering this young man. He has no PTSD. Considering his age and chosen profession, it's suspect that he has no military background. His birth father, it turns out, was the head of that unit. The cop barking orders: step dad's last name on Mr Trigger. The dad had to retire for not disclosing the relationship between himself and the 7/8 month ROOKIE he requested to join SWAT.
You are 100% correct, Bach. Even if it was a hardened member of say... the Mexican Mafia or Al Qaida or a US Navy SEAL armed with a handgun on the side of his hip. You go head and reach, draw, and before you have clear aim on me (back when I was in the Marines and an excellent shot with the M16A2) I will have shot you, I will win the gun fight with my rifle already trained on you. Thus, with this terrified and unarmed young man this cop in cold blood murdered him. Pure and simple. He knows it, I know it, you know it, and God knows it.
Major coward is a polite way of say this person just wanted to kill someone. Officers screaming conflicting command is a major problem. I think many do it on purpose just to either beat, shoot, or rack up bogus charges. All should have been fired for such bad work.
Yes they sure failed. Disgusting. Makes me think what kind of ppl are these? What if the poor guy was your brother.. are they blind? Didn't see this video? It's proof.
This was one of the most disturbing and heartbreaking things I've ever witnessed on the internet. It depressed me for like a week after I saw the video.
This case was so tragic. That poor man died because of the Big Ego of the demented Mentally of the lead officer .This was all about nothing, only to prove that he was in control. It's ashame that the jury allowed the acquittal of these two Officers. I view this case as a Murder !!!. Both officers should have spent 20 years in prison with out a pension !!!. R.I.P Daniel. Soooooo Tragic !!!.
The sergeant that screamed those sinister threats wasn’t even charged with a crime at all. They let it all fall to Brailsford the junior officer who fired the shots. They threw him under the bus and although he should’ve gone to prison he was the only one charged with anything.
@@rcbryant10 , He didn't have it on his person !!!. This was torture with all the commands that the police were demanding from him !!. This killing wasn't justified.
Wow... very needless suffering these cops imposed on Daniel, his family and all that knew him. The cop that claimed PTSD should be charged not only for killing Daniel but fraudulent claim of PTSD. Sick people out there! Also, any D.A.s watching?... can someone go after him for false claim of PTSD, and revoke the pension?
I had the same thoughts as well when this went to trial. They didn't HAVE to kill him, the GOT to kill him. Get the man all freaked out and nervous so that you can kill him when he fails your test. It was just as brutal as those taliban execution videos you can find all over the net. If they felt threatened, they would have rushed him, secured him and searched him like we did when deployed and other cop videos showed. Instead, they played games with that mans life, a game he couldn't win because there was a psycho behind the trigger.
Yeah, if they really felt threatened they shouldn't ask him to crawl TOWARDS them. They should tell him to lie face down, hands always over head and not to move at all. "OMG I'm so scared of you, move TOWARDS me!". It's sad how many cop apologists/suckers there are for this case.
@@catholicdad yeah right, they were so scared that there was another person in the room that they spent so much time playing "Simon Says" with the guy till they found an excuse to shoot him... You must be familiar with the taste of police boots. 🤣

I saw the video once, and could never stomach seeing it again. The most disturbing thing to me wasn't the shooting per se, but the fact that Daniel's last seconds of life were spent in abject terror.
I was living in Flagstaff when this travesty happened. I remember the verdict being read on LIVE tv and being extremely pissed at the acquittal. This verdict struck such a cord with people in Arizona that (if I remember correctly) the "guilty piece of shit" cop had to move out of Arizona state due to death threats. There are a couple of versions of this story but Dr. Grande's version is the most concise and understandable I have heard.
Thank you for covering this story, Dr. Grande. I know his wife Lacey and their child deserve more justice than what they ultimately received. This guy will hurt someone else. His gun said it all.
I usually look forward to my daily dose of Grande because it's always interesting and along the way there's always a smile or chuckle in there somewhere before it's over. But this case is so unbelievably sad, so infuriating there was no room for levity or humor of any kind. Someone not only got away with murder but is now profiting from it annually tax-free. If this happened in the last year or two this cop would be in jail.
That was a murder every day yet Dr Grande story failed to discuss the real reason for the BS not guilty verdict , l read about the trial judge only allowed , as requested by the defence lawyer's an edited "short version without audio" , of body cam footage to be shown to the jury , the jury never heard Daniel cry and plead for his life or the insane commands of POS Charles Langley . Did the police even ring Daniel's room to discuss the situation with him before all the drama went ahead , and to not even be told to lift up his loose shirt and turn 360° . Police really are the incompetent sovereign citizens that use the general public as their playthings.
I totally agree, when I watched this footage a while ago it kept me up at night. It was terrifying watching them gun down this man crawling on hands and knees, sobbing and begging for his life. This could have happened to anyone, I doubt I would have been able to follow any commands after the officer had threatened my life multiple times, with a half dozen guns pointed at me, if I moved even minorly. I can't understand how no one was held accountable. One last thought, how did they reasonably think he was reaching for a gun, he was wearing loose elastic basketball shorts (how would that waistband hold a gun in place?) with his back in plain view clearly having no gun sized bump.
Thank you Dr.Grande for your professional analysis. Your analysis is clear to understand and is unbiased. How I wish things were different and your insight and input could have been heard by the jury that acquitted these murderous cops.
In Long Beach California I stopped my car at a downtown intersection for a red light, and then started a right turn (which is legal on a red light if the car first makes a full stop). I almost hit a policeman who was on a bicycle -- he rode into the crosswalk at high speed just as I started my turn. I hit the brakes before I hit him but he was scared and started screaming at me -- his face literally turned red. A bystander spoke up and told the police officer he shouldn't have been riding his bike on the sidewalk. The officer was committing a violation! I just kept saying I was sorry and eventually the officer rode off on his bike. That was a scary moment because for awhile the guy looked furious enough to shoot me.
I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis. It's another case of shoot to kill first, so long as the officer says he feels his life is endangered, he is able to get away with murder.
The misconduct on behalf of these "officers" is so egregious and the fact that they all got away with it only fuels the fire for ACAB and defund the police. We need to end qualified immunity to avoid this very type of thing.
@@DurkDiggler He didn't say he supported those movements. He only said things like this contribute to those movements. It seems that reading is not your strong suit.
@@DurkDiggler also "defund" doesn't mean no funds 🙄 just to put some funds from police into other systems that can also respond to certain calls. Funding people and organizations that are better equipped at handling certain situations without coming in guns a'blazin, which oftentimes escalates a bad situation, turning it into a lethal one, rather than de-escalating. Also de-militarize our police force. There's no reason police officers need military level weapons to meet a petty theft call, or a drunken dispute - for example.
I can't believe that Braislford was acquitted, allowed to be a cop again, and given a pension for murdering a man who begged him not to kill him. I'm surprised nobody has second amended him in all this time.
Jessie, the media reported. But y'all were on tik tok swiveling those hips ( musically at the time) . the coverage is on youtube and most of y'all didn't see the video because it was to "preserve" Daniel;'s dignity. all of you are as guilty as those police officers
the police officer got money for life after this which is insane imo. so basically he won the jackpot for killing a man. Philando Castilo, Amadou Diallo also died because trigger ready police officer took their lives away for no reason, getting acquitted and promoted.
there has been so many since Amadou. a friend of mine was gunned down , he was off his meds and the truth is he had no prescription meds left .he was in his boxer shorts . he'd been off his meds before and he's just rant for hours on end . and this is the very thing that got him murdered . my world became so small after that and i structured everything around my fear of being murdered just for existing. this makes me cry so much.
@@PHlophe i understand. I was held hostage at gunpoint. Please look into tapping and medical marijuana. It helps. What some of these cops do is get paid to cold blodedly kill people. Philando Castille haunts me. Daniel Shaver deserved to see his daughters grow up.
Awful. I just searched for the body cam footage, got through 59 seconds before I turned it off. I am nervous just watching it, I can’t imagine living through it. I wouldn’t have lived as long as Daniel did, that police officer would have killed me because I couldn’t follow these directives. It’s very sad. RIP Daniel. You did not deserve what happened to you.
As so many of us keep saying, the police need to change the way they train officers. They're taught to fear everyone. And I always say when hearing about another bad cop, someone check on their spouse/partner and any pets they have, because sadistic, controlling behavior doesn't just happen at work.
there is such a thing as compartmentalizing. its a human trait that is refined. There is no such a thing as bad cop. Bad cops thrive in a gangrenous entity . Y'all want people to believe these are idiots that have gone "rogue" nope, it ain't like that. They way you interpret the situation directly contributes to the murder of another human.
I think you're right. Every detail of a police officers life should be scrutinized by a review board to ensure the candidate is fit for duty. Every single detail put under a microscope.
That video has haunted me ever since and every cop involved in it should have been in prison. It's outrageous. The directions were deliberately confusing and the man barking them sounded like a Nazi henchman.
It haunted me too, but I disagree with every cop being involved. There were two responsible for his death. Langsford and Brailsford. Langsford was on a power trip barking confusing orders, escalating the situation, riling up Brailsford. And Brailsford for killing Shaver. He knew Shaver was not a threat, he was just itching for a reason to kill him. The other officers were just there. None of them shot Shaver. None of them felt threatened by him.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 what do you mean by "his kind"? other humans? other american citizens? if you mean the later, i agree.... but that also includes potential nazis or policemen, so not much of a point to mention that either.... also, the word is "statistically", not "statically" in case you're a bit illiterate
Of all the police shootings I’ve seen videos of or read accounts of this one still sticks in my mind like very few others do. The overwhelming sense of terror coming from the police and the sobbing from the victim before hand all on top of the fact that they got away with it is something I doubt I’ll ever forget
No matter what, he's gone and will never come back to his beautiful family. This is so sad and I am crying so hard right now. Those cops were just completely aggressive and sociopathic. So sad 😢😢😢
After going over the video countless times and imagining myself in the exact same situation (drunk, and in a total panic from the police saying over and over agin they are going to shoot you if you make a single wrong move) I honestly believe that the only thing that would have saved Daniel is completely freezing, and not moving whatsoever until the police were eventually forced to come to him and put him in cuffs. And with the police that showed up to this scene, I'm not sure that even would have saved him, because they obviously showed up with the decision already made that they were going to end up shooting someone. Every single time I see anything about this situation, it makes me physically sick to my stomach. Every single one of us would have been shot if we were in his place, no matter what we did to try to calm the police down or mitigate the "threat" we posed to them. Its just absolutely fucking disgusting, and the fact that the officer who shot him got to retire with a monthly salary for the rest of his life makes me so fucking angry that I'm about to have to go downstairs and pound whisky until I'm drunk enough to forget that I live in a country where police acting like this is not only tolerated, but rewarded. Fuck each and every single one of these cops. Whats an appropriate punishment for killing an innocent crying man in cold blood? Apparently a monthly salary that is probably more money than a significant portion of this country make in multiple months/to a year. I seriously hope people remember this and never give the two cops responsible for the commands, and the actual shooting a moment of peace. Fucking god damn murdering bastards
Like a sceen out of a Nazi movie that people love to hate so much! Power games! Terrorising the victim bevore the ultimat end! Im with you on the sick stomache! 🤢
I remember this case, and watched the body cam footage. I heard contradictory commands; for example, when someone shouted questions to the man on the floor, the guy answered, only to be screamed at to shut up! The words and tone of the screaming gave me the impression that the team was trying to confuse the suspect and then shoot him dead at point blank range. Many suspects in that situation may make a small error in following the conflicting and difficult orders, and being slightly intoxicated will spell an immediate execution on the spot.
Our justice system failed absolutely in this case. My sincerest sympathies go to the wife and family. I can not imagine the anger and despair they felt.
Conservatives love to mock BLM when they bring attention to horrible cops. Problem is when you turn a blind eye to horrible cops you don’t know who their next victim maybe.
@@elephanttrunk5372 Some may, but that’s not a true statement. I personally find BLM detestable, but I recognize a bad cop when I see it. Making race paramount as ones identity is not a wise idea & BLM bases their entire identity as an organization on race. No thanks.
@@elephanttrunk5372 conservatives mock BLM becuase it's a marxist group, started by admitted Marxists that made millions for themselves and helped very few people, they have pushed for the absurd defunding of police in several cities that has resulted in huge spikes in crime, and have been involved in a ton of riots along with antifa that resulted in a lot of violence, injuries, some deaths, and 2 billion dollars in damages across multiple cities across the country.
I’m not sure I can even listen to a recap of this. This traumatized me watching a few years ago and had left such a rotten imprint in my mind. That Officer yelling was SO aggressive and fond of overt escalation of the Situation. And to shoot a man who was so clearly scared and unarmed is nothing short of SICK! A passionate hate in my heart for these types of individuals has formed and the fact that they get to go consequence-less is sickening and infuriating. I cannot IMAGINE losing my loved one this way and having to see their last UNNECESSARILY frightening moments before be blasted away for NO GOOD REASON!!! Sick psychopathic murdering bastards. They are civil servants meant to serve and protect paid for by the People and they have no right to go around terrorizing citizens and literally tricking them into a mistake that will allow the to take a life without batting an eyelid. :(
This was one of the most infuriating police shootings I've ever seen. That cop is an absolute sociopath and a danger to society.
Both of the cops should have been charged and convicted. This is disgusting.
That's why I don't cry when pigs fly. 🤷
I think maybe they should let the mob have their way with that cop. I would like to see the look in his eyes when he realized the inevitable. No one should be above justice and if there’s a God I’m sure he took note.
@@pirizzo No they shouldn’t. He deserves it, but we shouldn’t induce a further betrayal of the law, for what he did. What we should do is find out why and how he got away with it and hold the folks responsible accountable. I don’t know which snakes are responsible, but they should be held accountable for their incompetence.
The fact that those two cops did not get prison time is appalling. The shooter is now living off the taxpayers dime, and the MONSTER who was shouting commands like a madman just was allowed to retire, probably with full pension. Everyone involved is corrupt.
There’s nothing more dangerous than a weak and fearful person seeking dominance and authority, while armed.

Mama Petillo.... 'There’s nothing more dangerous than a weak and fearful person seeking dominance and authority, while armed.'
That sounds like the average American gun-owning male.
this case always haunts me. disgusts me how this wasn’t bigger news. not nearly enough outrage. the fact the officer never faced any prison time is the worst part.
the officer not only didn't face prison but as we speak he is collecting 31k tax free/annum off off this.
i hate to say it, but its because the victim isnt black. its sadly peoples initiative to make cops seem racist, and not that they are untrained or that they need more extensive mental health checks and the police academy needs more difficult criteria to become one.
@@nawidk You can be a psycopath AND be racist.
How the fuck did the officer get off with this? Did they not see the tape.
@@Seth9809 i have no idea why he wasnt, this is my first time hearing of this because as long as it doesnt fit the medias narrative of constantly wanting to divide everyone, they wont go over it. i agree cops can be both, but a major psychological evaluation and extensive training should be implemented instead of harming the actual GOOD cops reputations :(
@@nawidk its as if you ignore the fact that for every caucasian this happens to , there are about 8 Black people that murdered that way. I knew one myself and his murder barely made a dent in the news because there wasn't a "spin" to sell ads and paper. Black death sells ads because white people feel detached from it . and when a white person is murdered the same way , it gets "personal" and dignity is preserved .
Black men's death brings revenue the exact same way a white woman like gaby petido brings an immense amount of revenue but from a place of empathy.
Update: Daniel's widow just settled her lawsuit for $8M. It's a start, now we must insist that Charles Langley be put in prison.
Did the money come from a draw/garnishment of the police pension fund? No. The public is taxed to pay for their bad conduct!
You're correct, unfortunately. The police leech off the people they pretend to serve in every way. Which is why we don't need them.
Traffic "citations" are intended to get money for cities AND to give people an incentive to stop bad driving. Legislatures realize about the need to discourage bad driving, but they haven't responded to the need to discourage bad policing. I was in a store and a cop was in there, he started watching me, hoping apparently I would shoplift and he could make a misdemeanor arrest. They do see everyone outside their tight circle as needing to be jumped on.
Langley is enjoying his retirement with a young Filipina partner in the Philippines.
@@eddenoy321 How do you know this? Not refuting, but she or anyone else who crosses Langley's path is in danger from his psychotic rages.
I remember this case. The video was extremely disturbing. The police were VERY aggressive and Daniel seemed terrified. To me, the police got away with murder ☹️
Cops like him are the reason for the second amendment.
They always will until the departments are stopped from investigating themselves.
@@PiranahKill This makes no fucking sense to me; "we did an internal audit and found ourselves to be innocent". Who the hell designed it as such?

This case was absolutely infuriating. It was just insane that guy was even an officer..
Police depts literally hire almost anyone...all it takes is a high school diploma. They don't even extensively mentally evaluate their prospects. Protecting and serving has never been top priority...it's all about control and inserting violence and authority.

@@slotmaster5077 if you want to become a cop, thats a fail on any relevant psych test. A lot like going into politics really.
This is the clearest injustice i've ever seen in a police shooting case. That this officer wasn't found guilty is beyond me.
Clearly the jury were as stupid as the one for the OJ Simpson trial.
Crooked attorneys got the video thrown out, the jury never saw it.
I'm guessing both sides of this case sort of worked hand in hand on this one because the charge of murder would be MUCH more difficult to prove than manslaughter or a lesser charge that it was at least mishandled in such a way that cost a life.
So sad there are fatherless children because of this.

@@Kwekwe I wonder what those jurors thought when they finally got to see the video. I hope it haunts them every day of their life. Those cops should be in prison.😠
They probably argued, that Charles Langley was the culprit in shouting the commands at both the victim and the police officer.
The officer who shot Daniel had, “You’re fucked”, etched on the side of his AR-15. If that doesn’t scream, “I’m eager to kill someone”, then I don’t know what does.
😳 😒 what. That’s ridiculous and honestly cringey. 🥴 typical little goofy dork that was given a position of “power”. 🙄
Really tragic and infuriating. I feel no shame in saying I think it would be beneficial if some kind of vigilante justice was doled out to that officer
@@MsLax45 I totally get it. This world could use someone like Frank Castle or Dexter Morgan.

Yes, definitely a coward a tyrant! PTSD my a! 😡

I just said that when I first saw the bodycam of this a few mins ago. Aggressive d bag, like he had short man syndrome or was bullied at school. Like the guy was one of those types who join the army just to kill someone. Got the impression he'd been waiting for an opportunity to rub someone out first chance he got. Kinda sick guy really
I just knew right away the cop was going to murder the guy by the way he expressed his words being incredibly illogical and power tripping. He wanted to find the slightest excuse to execute an unarmed man crawling on the floor and obviously not a threat. The cop's finger was itching to pull the trigger. I don't understand why the cop bothered to give ridiculous commands to Daniel. The police should just have killed Daniel right away since that was the intention of that cop in the very beginning.
This is a clear case of how to murder legally. The police was acquitted and there was no outrage from the public. I wonder if Obama, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton & the American people would have remained silent if Daniel was black. I would imagine massive demonstrations nationwide and major cities in the US would be on fire if Daniel was black.
What was so disturbing was the fact that Daniel was crying & pleading not to be shot. The fear in his voice when he was pleading for his life was so haunting and what's more disturbing is the fact that the cop didn't face any jail time not even for an hour and his superior had supported his executioner style of policing and stated that they would have done the same thing...they would have also executed a defenseless unarmed man pleading for his life & crawling on the floor. They needed to humiliate and degrade the man before murdering him and this happened in America. The justice system of America had failed miserably in this case. This is so shameful that a murderer is awarded $2,500/month for life.

Uh huh
Our standards for hiring officers should be stringent, standards that show the people with abilities and a brain, from power hungry rednecks, or dorks with a domination fascination. College and mental health evaluations. It should be harder to be a cop than it is to be in the Air Force or special ops. But its quite the opposite.
On the job these people should quickly be shown to be what they are. First power trip , out the door you go! We need to do better. The individuals hiring need to be better.
The good ole boys club needs thrown out, and qualified and capable people be found. It is quite the opposite at this point. The good old boys do everything possible to get qualified and competent individuals out, lest they be exposed. Make the guys life so miserable he quits the force.
When will this stop?>
A badge gives then the power to abuse
Both of my parents were also police officers, my father only lasted 10 years before quitting on account of how morally corrupt the higher ranking officers seemed to be. He worked undercover for several years, and many of the investigations lead back to corrupt local politicians, or corrupt officers whithin the department brass. He was going to dump everything he had on a federal agents desk, but my grandfather talked him out of it. Seemed like a good way to end up getting himself Hillary clinton'ed to death.
It appeared to me that the police officer (AKA “the perpetrator”) wanted ANY excuse to shoot Daniel.
It's obvious he already had his mind made up by the time he got there that he was going to kill someone.
Cops live for this stuff. Most of what they do is pretty boring---driving around, talking to people about unexciting crimes that will never get solved (my bike got stolen, someone jumped my fence). Shift after shift nothing happens, yet they are constantly told that it's a war zone out there. When they finally get a call about someone pointing a gun, they go into war zone mode, and all reason seems to go out the window.
Yeah the officer was very disingenuous and wanted Shaver to slip up. The multiple threats to shoot him and confusing commands, it was like he was toying with him and having some sick sadisdic satisfaction in having total control of Shaver's life.

When is the last time you saw the MSM cover a cop shooting a white person? Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin were both covered non-stop by the MSM. The MSM broadcasters raised their hands in congruence with what Brown's lying buddy said he was doing when he was shot. A black eyewitness said that he couldn't believe Brown kept going after Wilson. The media showed a Treyvon Martin photo from when he was a small looking 12 or 13 year old and not a photo of him when he was 17, when he was 4 or 5 inches taller and heavier than Zimmerman.

Juries are agreeable and dumb.
I remember reading somewhere that the jury wasn’t allowed to see some of the evidence, like the fact that the cop had “you’re f*c*ed” written on his gun (clearly a violent type looking for an opportunity to shoot somebody), or that he was involved in another incident where he used excessive force on some teens but got cleared by his department after internal “investigation”.
Well like most court cases with cops, any evidence that would blatantly reveal the cop is guilty is usually not allowed by the judge
I just got nauseous as well reliving this senseless murder of a young husband and father. It's disgusting. They should reopen the case, but double jeopardy doesn't allow it.
The victim's family should get the pension.
And it was determined that this cop did the right thing. When people say there is a problem with policing in America, videos like this prove them absolutely right.

Daniel's widow wanted a trial to expose Mesa PD corruption, but circumstances eventually forced her to settle out of court. During the legal process, the City of Mesa and the Brailsfords challenged the legality of Daniel's common law marriage and the paternity of one of his children, in an attempt to mitigate the potential damages that could be sought in the lawsuit.

@@LisaAnn777they believed he had a gun and looked as if he was reaching for it. That’s it, that’s literally the only reason why he was shot
This case needs more attention and quite frankly needs to be revisited by the legal system. It is an absolute disgrace to think that that criminal received a pension despite this happening. Beyond ridiculous!
And the criminals are still getting paid.

Maybe you believe in Jesus the son of God maybe you don't and I'm not some religious nut. I'm not saying I'm atheist either I have my beliefs and I do believe in God. I also know this...

Sickening to watch 🥺
Just remember it can happen to anyone. As you sit idle and neutered, just remember when this happens to you, you allowed it to happen to someone else.
In hindsight it's clear Daniel was getting set up for execution by Charles Langley's insane instructions , the phone call and conversation to the hotel room could , would have explained the drama and air rifle . Daniel should have been ask to lift his shirt and do 360 turn before ordered to the ground and simply cuffed , end of the drama . also have read the trial judge would only allow an edited video with NO audio as requested by the defence but this needs to be verified but could explain the not guilty verdict if the jury don't get to see and hear ALL crucial evidence the verdict can turn out wrong maybe the jury in court never heard Daniel cry and pleading for his life .3 other offices did not fire but Phillip Brailsford fired not 1but 5 shots into Daniel , what a hard core brave heart Brailsford must be . The blue gang of cosy killers . Research another insane police killing , that of Kelly Thomas
thank you for covering this, it’s disgraceful how little attention this case got.
Seriously. I remember seeing the video footage when this first happened and I was absolutely horrified. To think this person could get off without charges is the problem with policing today. This guy was a power hungry person who was most likely attracted to the police force because he could use that power in nefarious ways. He's just a sad little boy larping as one of his favorite action heroes or something else stupid.
He entered this situation knowing full well he would take the life of someone that night. You can't convince me otherwise.
It got no press because he's white. Sad but true. Any life lost like this is a tragedy.
Agreed!
There’s no coverage of this in the UK…
@@BeesWaxMinder He was white.
I feel so sorry for Daniel. He died and nobody was held responsible for his death. Its insane how something like this can happen. 😥

Thank you for making this. The video of this man sobbing on the floor will be in my mind forever. Please everyone, tell your friends about Daniel Shaver. We can't let this be forgotten.
I just did😠😡
Honestly, this case terrifies me more than any serial killer situation. The fact that these kind of violent idiots are given the job where you carry guns and act on legal authority is absolutely awful.
When there’s a regular killer, at least the authorities are trying to protect you. But when the authority is a homicidal maniac, you’re on your own. Even when they get caught breaking the rules, they face only a fraction of the penalties that regular criminals do.
He didn't deserve to die like this. To imagine the intense fear this young man felt prior to his death. His poor family will never get these images (or the audio) out of their heads.
a combination of being fearful and humiliated and still ended up murdered .
That cop deserved prison. I feel so terrible for his wife and children. That man begged for his life and was absolutely terrified...the murderer just wanted to kill someone that day. Poor Daniel💔 I heard the woman that was there with him has had a terrible time since the murder.
Yeah these pigs went in to kill.
Is the case finally settled, or could it be that there would be some appeal for some kind of real penalty?
@@petitio_principii Shaver's parents took a settlement of $1.5M, but his widow is not settling yet, she wants a trial and is suing for $75M.
The fact that the little rodent was walking around with an M4 that had 'You're f*cked' inscribed on it should have been a huge red flag to his colleagues: how someone of that low calibre could get in to the force is very disturbing.
@@Robin-xt7yo I hope she wins. It's not even just a matter of justice, it should be something that's used to force deep structural reforms. It's even worse than cases such as George Floyd's, since at least in that case there can be attempted "excuses" such as some degree of physical resistance (please, I'm not saying it really justifies), but with Shaver there was only complete submission. If I recall the cop(s) on Floyd's case seem to have gotten worse sentences. 22 years in prison for one, according to google's top result.
Power tripping is one hell of a drug.
Rest in peace Daniel.
That is one of the most awful police videos I've ever seen.Clearly the police were 100% guilty of murder.
Absolutely!
6:04 the cop asks him if he understands. Daniel answers and the cop yells at him to not speak. SMH
It's absolutely like a sadistic game of Simon says! You're right Dr. Grande. There's no effort by law enforcement to do anything other than escalate the problem by causing chaos and confusion.
I once lived in a house that had an upper and lower suite and I lived in the lower. They raided the house based on accusations that the upper tenants were selling drugs. They smashed through my door downstairs with guns drawn and repeatedly yelled me "get down, get down". When I got down another screamed at me "get up, get up". They did this 3 or 4 times over, it was the scariest thing in my life.
Sounds a lot like our federal government. Escalate the problem, cause chaos and kill when people rightfully react.

This is one of my favorite presentations yet, Doc. That last little blurb about trigger-happy policemen roaming around being just as dangerous as the criminals they're supposed to be protecting us from was incredibly well said. Our nation's law enforcement agencies are in desperate need of a serious overhaul. The lack of training and/or competence that runs rampant among these agencies has reached a level that is downright unacceptable because their blatant ineptitude often ends up defeating the entire purpose of their existence.

It’s extremely sad when you realize that the victim was a real person who’s actually dead and that this happens all of the time.
They were literally praying for him to make a mistake, I can't believe that they're both not in prison.
I think the problem is divided responsibility. I personally blame Langley for shouting insane commands and upping the tension needlessly. In my eyes, he should be in jail...yet all he did was yell angrily and confuse a drunk man and stress out a nervous young cop...there is no law against any of that. He retired, so he;s not a danger as a terrible cop, so...
The man who actually shot and killed him didn't create the problem situation, he just reacted to it. He was brought to a state of hyper alertness and fear with surging adrenaline by Langley. I understand why the jury thought the situation was Langley's fault and he should be held accountable, so let the young, aggressive, nervous officer go. It's infuriating. For the young officer to get PAID for having PTSD (which he may well have...just watching that video is nearly enough to cause PTSD, let alone being there) is even more infuriating. He's suffering because he took an innocent man's life, so taxpayers have to pay him $31,000 a year? It's so WRONG.
@@Andreamom001 I actually have real PTSD, and that video triggered the hell out of me. Actually, just watching this and remember this is triggering me. Langley should have had the book thrown at him, not been able to retire and get his pension.

“You’re f•••ed” was emblazoned on the department approved rifle of the officer who shot and killed Daniel. Quite the departure from “to protect and to serve.”
It wasn’t department issued. It was the officers personal weapon
More misinfomation.
It was his personal firearm.
There's no departure.
"To protect and serve" is not the job of the police. That is a term written on LAPD vehicles and has no connection to police duties beyond being a cute phrase. The job of the police is to enforce laws and tax citizens. The supreme court has upheld several times it is not the responsibility of police to protect people and they have no duty to do so. They're there to punish people afterwards.
@@spraynpray The police are not the ones "taxing citizens".

Is that normal in the USA, that you have your personal firearms with you in uniform? Aside of course, having such a marking, or patches is highly inappopriate for the police, even if you pay for it your self. You are not a private citizen in uniform, and should not behave like one.
But then, they apply the punisher skull at police cars.... I do not have a lot of haith in officers brandishing such symbols or words.
I've watched this video several times because the Shaver case still haunts me after all these years.
Thanks for making this video. The DOJ opened an investigation into this case and Mesa PD in 2018 after the trial so there is the possibility of future federal charges, though the results of this investigation have not yet been released. Daniel Shaver's widow, Laney Sweet, is also currently suing the city of Mesa for $75 million, though the case was delayed for several years by every effort of Mesa's attorneys and the cops involved. The last I heard a trial date should finally be set in the summer of 2022.
His wife had a Facebook page called Justice For Daniel Shaver that was shut down recently but she also has an Instagram (currently private) and a Tiktok where she talks more about the case, as well as a GoFundMe where updates are also sometimes posted.
One of the cops moved out of the country.
Charles Langley escaped to the Philippines to avoid prosecution
Commanding him to "keep your hands in the air, do not drop your hands for any reason...now crawl" was insane. The definition of crawl implies putting your hands on the floor.
Proof they were there to kill him.
And he knew it. The way his shoulders slump when they tell him to crawl. He knew they had given him an impossible task and were going to kill him for failing.
Exactly!!
The way he was sobbing has always stuck with me. This case, Ryan Whitaker and Elijah McClain are among the worst I’ve seen where the officer walked free.
It's especially important to show those who view cops as heroes.
why has nobody hunted those murderers down??
also look into Tony Timpa murder.
Don't forget Kelly Thomas.
I was a police officer for inside a decade prior to turning medic. I am familiar with this incident, and totally agree with you in your analysis. It would have been more appropriate to approach Daniel for a detainment. During my police tenure, from a psychological perspective, an us-against-them mentality is fostered through continuous contacts with variations of the criminal element. Those officers developed..no, gardened, a narcissistic foundation in exploiting a sense of being grandiose in their engagements. Daniel's death could have been prevented, but what came out of this incident as a positive is, those former cops will no longer continue to do a job they were unfit for to begin with.
The ultimate task of an officer is to protect lives and not to harm them unnecessarily. Sound judgement is required in this situation. Thank you, Dr. Grande and blessings to you 🙏🎉

When I heard about this I was devastated, especially for his wife and his little girls. Truly tragic. I will always remember his sweet disposition and smile. Thank you again. 🙏🏻
When this first happened, and I saw the video, I remember getting sick to my stomach. Those cops were looking to kill someone that night. If they were charged again in 2021, I think the outcome would be different. The dude was crying, on his knees, pleading for his life.
Just because someone “may have seen a gun” doesn’t mean the person that has it is doing anything illegal
This is exactly right. Guns are legal in this country.. yet the police treat you like a terrorist if you are armed.
Pointing a gun out a hotel window is suspicious behavior. It’s akin to brandishing a weapon. It was completely reckless of him to do that.
I was horrified by the footage; but… he broke the Golden Rule of gun safety that includes air and BB equipment. Once you start drinking you never, never, never handle them. Unfortunately they found out why. Very sad and tragic…
Thank you for covering this. I knew Daniel and his spouse personally. The lack of coverage on this case was as upsetting as the outcome. The family he left behind has endured so much.
Damn I know its late but I hope you and then are doing good
This is one of the most difficult 'cop shooting' videos I have ever had to watch. It (and the verdict) perfectly illustrate everything wrong with the gun-slinging, U.S. cops & their 'predator mindset' training.

He claims PTSD from murdering this young man. He has no PTSD. Considering his age and chosen profession, it's suspect that he has no military background.
His birth father, it turns out, was the head of that unit. The cop barking orders: step dad's last name on Mr Trigger. The dad had to retire for not disclosing the relationship between himself and the 7/8 month ROOKIE he requested to join SWAT.
The ptsd he claims he has was brought up during the lawsuit and was supposedly directly or closely related to THIS shooting.

You are 100% correct, Bach. Even if it was a hardened member of say... the Mexican Mafia or Al Qaida or a US Navy SEAL armed with a handgun on the side of his hip. You go head and reach, draw, and before you have clear aim on me (back when I was in the Marines and an excellent shot with the M16A2) I will have shot you, I will win the gun fight with my rifle already trained on you.

Thank you for covering this case. The injustice of this killing drives me insane.
I had the same thoughts as well when this went to trial. They didn't HAVE to kill him, the GOT to kill him. Get the man all freaked out and nervous so that you can kill him when he fails your test. It was just as brutal as those taliban execution videos you can find all over the net. If they felt threatened, they would have rushed him, secured him and searched him like we did when deployed and other cop videos showed. Instead, they played games with that mans life, a game he couldn't win because there was a psycho behind the trigger.
Yeah, if they really felt threatened they shouldn't ask him to crawl TOWARDS them. They should tell him to lie face down, hands always over head and not to move at all.

I saw the video once, and could never stomach seeing it again. The most disturbing thing to me wasn't the shooting per se, but the fact that Daniel's last seconds of life were spent in abject terror.
I was living in Flagstaff when this travesty happened. I remember the verdict being read on LIVE tv and being extremely pissed at the acquittal. This verdict struck such a cord with people in Arizona that (if I remember correctly) the "guilty piece of shit" cop had to move out of Arizona state due to death threats. There are a couple of versions of this story but Dr. Grande's version is the most concise and understandable I have heard.
The POS moved to the Philippines I read on another video
I think it's great that he had to move after being in fear of death threats, its much deserved to that psycho
Was there rioting?
Thank you for covering this story, Dr. Grande. I know his wife Lacey and their child deserve more justice than what they ultimately received. This guy will hurt someone else. His gun said it all.
I usually look forward to my daily dose of Grande because it's always interesting and along the way there's always a smile or chuckle in there somewhere before it's over. But this case is so unbelievably sad, so infuriating there was no room for levity or humor of any kind. Someone not only got away with murder but is now profiting from it annually tax-free. If this happened in the last year or two this cop would be in jail.

That was a murder every day yet Dr Grande story failed to discuss the real reason for the BS not guilty verdict , l read about the trial judge only allowed , as requested by the defence lawyer's an edited "short version without audio" , of body cam footage to be shown to the jury , the jury never heard Daniel cry and plead for his life or the insane commands of POS Charles Langley . Did the police even ring Daniel's room to discuss the situation with him before all the drama went ahead , and to not even be told to lift up his loose shirt and turn 360° .

@@erikkopsala3564
That's even worse!
No wonder they got off scot-free!!!
I totally agree, when I watched this footage a while ago it kept me up at night. It was terrifying watching them gun down this man crawling on hands and knees, sobbing and begging for his life. This could have happened to anyone, I doubt I would have been able to follow any commands after the officer had threatened my life multiple times, with a half dozen guns pointed at me, if I moved even minorly. I can't understand how no one was held accountable. One last thought, how did they reasonably think he was reaching for a gun, he was wearing loose elastic basketball shorts (how would that waistband hold a gun in place?) with his back in plain view clearly having no gun sized bump.
Thank you Dr.Grande for your professional analysis. Your analysis is clear to understand and is unbiased. How I wish things were different and your insight and input could have been heard by the jury that acquitted these murderous cops.
In Long Beach California I stopped my car at a downtown intersection for a red light, and then started a right turn (which is legal on a red light if the car first makes a full stop). I almost hit a policeman who was on a bicycle -- he rode into the crosswalk at high speed just as I started my turn. I hit the brakes before I hit him but he was scared and started screaming at me -- his face literally turned red. A bystander spoke up and told the police officer he shouldn't have been riding his bike on the sidewalk. The officer was committing a violation! I just kept saying I was sorry and eventually the officer rode off on his bike. That was a scary moment because for awhile the guy looked furious enough to shoot me.
I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis. It's another case of shoot to kill first, so long as the officer says he feels his life is endangered, he is able to get away with murder.
The misconduct on behalf of these "officers" is so egregious and the fact that they all got away with it only fuels the fire for ACAB and defund the police. We need to end qualified immunity to avoid this very type of thing.

Also de-militarize our police force. There's no reason police officers need military level weapons to meet a petty theft call, or a drunken dispute - for example.
And he was fired for the event.....rehired 2 years later and then within a year RETIRED WITH PAY due to PTSD from the killing he committed.
Amazing
I can't believe that Braislford was acquitted, allowed to be a cop again, and given a pension for murdering a man who begged him not to kill him.

@@Abcq755 the worst part is because of his skin color the media didnt care
@@Abcq755 wish more people knew this. we have to do our part in telling them
Jessie, the media reported. But y'all were on tik tok swiveling those hips ( musically at the time) . the coverage is on youtube and most of y'all didn't see the video because it was to "preserve" Daniel;'s dignity. all of you are as guilty as those police officers
the police officer got money for life after this which is insane imo. so basically he won the jackpot for killing a man. Philando Castilo, Amadou Diallo also died because trigger ready police officer took their lives away for no reason, getting acquitted and promoted.
there has been so many since Amadou. a friend of mine was gunned down , he was off his meds and the truth is he had no prescription meds left .he was in his boxer shorts . he'd been off his meds before and he's just rant for hours on end . and this is the very thing that got him murdered . my world became so small after that and i structured everything around my fear of being murdered just for existing. this makes me cry so much.
@@PHlophe i understand. I was held hostage at gunpoint. Please look into tapping and medical marijuana. It helps. What some of these cops do is get paid to cold blodedly kill people. Philando Castille haunts me. Daniel Shaver deserved to see his daughters grow up.
"Immature and incompetent." You hit that nail right on the head.
This one got me a little choked up. Good analysis, Dr Grande.
Awful. I just searched for the body cam footage, got through 59 seconds before I turned it off. I am nervous just watching it, I can’t imagine living through it. I wouldn’t have lived as long as Daniel did, that police officer would have killed me because I couldn’t follow these directives. It’s very sad. RIP Daniel. You did not deserve what happened to you.
I saw it. The cops didn't even care that they killed him, they only felt bad about making his girlfriend cry.
Lysa Woolley Amen. It's a hard watch. Daniel was murdered. Tormented and murdered.
Mesa, AZ is def one of the top worst police department in the country. See sooo much bad that they do in the media.
As so many of us keep saying, the police need to change the way they train officers. They're taught to fear everyone. And I always say when hearing about another bad cop, someone check on their spouse/partner and any pets they have, because sadistic, controlling behavior doesn't just happen at work.
there is such a thing as compartmentalizing. its a human trait that is refined. There is no such a thing as bad cop. Bad cops thrive in a gangrenous entity . Y'all want people to believe these are idiots that have gone "rogue" nope, it ain't like that. They way you interpret the situation directly contributes to the murder of another human.
I think you're right. Every detail of a police officers life should be scrutinized by a review board to ensure the candidate is fit for duty. Every single detail put under a microscope.
I want to give this comment a thousand thumbs up!!!!!
Thank you for making this video. It is the best analysis of this tragedy I've seen.
This incident was awful. Poor guy Daniel and his family.
I always think how much research goes into these videos. INCREDIBLE. We appreciate you, Dr. Grande. Well done.
That video has haunted me ever since and every cop involved in it should have been in prison. It's outrageous. The directions were deliberately confusing and the man barking them sounded like a Nazi henchman.
I feel the same way. It completely horrified me. Ill never forget the first time I saw it.
ITA @ Nazi henchman, as a black person that familiar is too familiar to me.
@Lechiffresix six statically you should fear your own kind *much, much* more then police or "nazis"
It haunted me too, but I disagree with every cop being involved. There were two responsible for his death. Langsford and Brailsford. Langsford was on a power trip barking confusing orders, escalating the situation, riling up Brailsford. And Brailsford for killing Shaver. He knew Shaver was not a threat, he was just itching for a reason to kill him. The other officers were just there. None of them shot Shaver. None of them felt threatened by him.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 what do you mean by "his kind"? other humans? other american citizens? if you mean the later, i agree.... but that also includes potential nazis or policemen, so not much of a point to mention that either.... also, the word is "statistically", not "statically" in case you're a bit illiterate
Of all the police shootings I’ve seen videos of or read accounts of this one still sticks in my mind like very few others do. The overwhelming sense of terror coming from the police and the sobbing from the victim before hand all on top of the fact that they got away with it is something I doubt I’ll ever forget
No matter what, he's gone and will never come back to his beautiful family. This is so sad and I am crying so hard right now. Those cops were just completely aggressive and sociopathic. So sad 😢😢😢
After going over the video countless times and imagining myself in the exact same situation (drunk, and in a total panic from the police saying over and over agin they are going to shoot you if you make a single wrong move) I honestly believe that the only thing that would have saved Daniel is completely freezing, and not moving whatsoever until the police were eventually forced to come to him and put him in cuffs. And with the police that showed up to this scene, I'm not sure that even would have saved him, because they obviously showed up with the decision already made that they were going to end up shooting someone. Every single time I see anything about this situation, it makes me physically sick to my stomach. Every single one of us would have been shot if we were in his place, no matter what we did to try to calm the police down or mitigate the "threat" we posed to them. Its just absolutely fucking disgusting, and the fact that the officer who shot him got to retire with a monthly salary for the rest of his life makes me so fucking angry that I'm about to have to go downstairs and pound whisky until I'm drunk enough to forget that I live in a country where police acting like this is not only tolerated, but rewarded. Fuck each and every single one of these cops. Whats an appropriate punishment for killing an innocent crying man in cold blood? Apparently a monthly salary that is probably more money than a significant portion of this country make in multiple months/to a year. I seriously hope people remember this and never give the two cops responsible for the commands, and the actual shooting a moment of peace. Fucking god damn murdering bastards
I agree with every word.
You are correct brother.
Some skunks are worse wearing police uniforms
Like a sceen out of a Nazi movie that people love to hate so much!
Power games! Terrorising the victim bevore the ultimat end! Im with you on the sick stomache! 🤢
I remember this case, and watched the body cam footage. I heard contradictory commands; for example, when someone shouted questions to the man on the floor, the guy answered, only to be screamed at to shut up! The words and tone of the screaming gave me the impression that the team was trying to confuse the suspect and then shoot him dead at point blank range. Many suspects in that situation may make a small error in following the conflicting and difficult orders, and being slightly intoxicated will spell an immediate execution on the spot.
Our justice system failed absolutely in this case. My sincerest sympathies go to the wife and family. I can not imagine the anger and despair they felt.
Conservatives love to mock BLM when they bring attention to horrible cops. Problem is when you turn a blind eye to horrible cops you don’t know who their next victim maybe.
@@elephanttrunk5372 Some may, but that’s not a true statement. I personally find BLM detestable, but I recognize a bad cop when I see it. Making race paramount as ones identity is not a wise idea & BLM bases their entire identity as an organization on race. No thanks.
@@elephanttrunk5372 also, if you could, I would like to know of one example where BLM got involved of some other race’s mistreatment by cops.
@@kristenisreal they were there to support the white victims of Rittenhouse - even if he wasn’t a cop.
@@elephanttrunk5372 conservatives mock BLM becuase it's a marxist group, started by admitted Marxists that made millions for themselves and helped very few people, they have pushed for the absurd defunding of police in several cities that has resulted in huge spikes in crime, and have been involved in a ton of riots along with antifa that resulted in a lot of violence, injuries, some deaths, and 2 billion dollars in damages across multiple cities across the country.
I remember seeing this video when it came out, it really hurt my heart for the kids family. Manslaughter I agree
A truly horrific story. What sort of recuitment testing did those officers undertake? The sergeant acted like an SS concentration camp guard.
Police Recruitment Ad: if your IQ is lower than 72.....WE would like to make you a cop.
He's not even the worst of the lot. I remember there's another cop who's already involved in 3 shootings and got away with it every time.
SS/Nazi analogies are completely accurate here.
@@porkcutlet3920 Not all shootings are created equal. There ARE times when lethal force is completely justified.
Excellent Analysis Here Dr Grande!
The Police Were the ONLY Threat In The Hotel That Evening!
I’m not sure I can even listen to a recap of this. This traumatized me watching a few years ago and had left such a rotten imprint in my mind. That Officer yelling was SO aggressive and fond of overt escalation of the Situation.
And to shoot a man who was so clearly scared and unarmed is nothing short of SICK! A passionate hate in my heart for these types of individuals has formed and the fact that they get to go consequence-less is sickening and infuriating. I cannot IMAGINE losing my loved one this way and having to see their last UNNECESSARILY frightening moments before be blasted away for NO GOOD REASON!!! Sick psychopathic murdering bastards. They are civil servants meant to serve and protect paid for by the People and they have no right to go around terrorizing citizens and literally tricking them into a mistake that will allow the to take a life without batting an eyelid. :(
The fact that this cop got a golden parachute retirement deal indicates he had some dirt on his superiors.
That's just the thin blue line in action. They watch out for each other above all else.
