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.
@@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?
Unfortunately there are a lot of cops like this out there (on a power trip) using their badge and gun to humiliate unsuspecting unarmed people.🗣️
🙌
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.
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.
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.
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!)

How the f can u get the main piece of evidence thrown out??? Crazy...
They didn't get punished but we sure did. We had to pony up $8 million to his wife because of their mistake. Justice!
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?
They absolutely got away with murder straight up murder
2 senior girl scouts with a can of mace and some flex cuffs could have subdued him.
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. 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).
@@proctorritter5176 there are a lot of officers who are also trigger happy with peoples dogs. Much easier for them to get away with killing an animal.
@@JGD185 :( :( :(::::::::
How the jury acquitted that cop was an absolute miscarriage of justice.
They probably were threatened
@@colgatetoothpaste4865 THAT I can believe. How can a nation hire and handsomely reward our worst criminals is beyond all reasoning?
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.😠
They probably argued, that Charles Langley was the culprit in shouting the commands at both the victim and the police officer.
I feel so sorry for Daniel. He died and nobody was held responsible for his death. Its insane how something like this can happen. 😥
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.
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.
This is the most bogus case ever , that punk cop should be in prison for life.
Instead he gets over a million dollars paid out to him 31k at a time for the rest of his life.
Tax. Free.
@@drebk disgusting 🤮
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
The guy yelling was just as guilty possibly even more so. Senior officer who fled the country to avoid law suits.
@@john-paulsilke893Would love to pay him a visit in the phillipines
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.
Yes
But this video is one incident out of millions of arrests per year. I’ve never seen a video like this one.
@@catfishman1768 Ignorance is not a compelling argument. Search "police brutality usa" and you'll see more videos than you can stomach.
@@dhoffnun you understand that majority of cops are not bad right!?

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
Facts
Uh huh
This is the kind of cop, who shoots a guy in a wheelchair 8 times in the back, then once in the head. The fact he get's money out of it, is beyond repugnant, and a slap in the face to every taxpayer, and every citizen.
Donut Operator 🍩 covered that event. The cop 👮♂️ was fired.
I watched that one too. My channel was different.
Everyone that votes for bigger government endorses this type of shit
@@DavidLLambertmobile Is being fired an appropriate penalty for murder? Donut Operator is a Nazi.
@@batrachian149 I'm pretty sure Donut would've supported putting the cop away as any reasonable person would. And where the hell are you pulling the accusation of him being a Nazi out of?
Philip getting disability for PTSD is like a judge going easy on someone accused of killing their parents because after all, they’re an orphan.
Great analogy, David Jordan. LOL!
@@kathyclark8274 I second that.

@@turtletruth I have personally been falsely accused of "using narcotics" their basis? Walking my 20 pound dog after midnight.
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.
Shit was sad bro I just wished bro would’ve kept his hands in plain view the whole time
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.
Me too. I’d be shaking in fear.
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.
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.
@@Abcq755 Those cops are animals and will rest in hell when they die
@@Abcq755things could be different though
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.
@@itsmevivi_ in Canada it actually pretty difficult . You need some college points and they need you pass psych test .
🎯
Yea this one made me tear up when I originally watched the video.. It’s watching a murder…a psychopath terrorizing and killing someone.
@@slotmaster5077 if you want to become a cop, thats a fail on any relevant psych test. A lot like going into politics really.
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😠😡
Power tripping is one hell of a drug.
Rest in peace Daniel.
Oh man. You shoot and kill someone, and then claim that you have PTSD? What about the man you killed? What about his family? What about justice?!
You only get justice in the streets against these blue line bastards!
I think lots of them walk around with PTSD.

- Turtletruth (Semper Fidelis)..
Justice should be provided by the street.
@@jameshallgring2326 yeah, but no. Mob justice is often as unjust as the current system in the us
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, definitely a coward a tyrant! PTSD my a! 😡
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.
I've watched this video several times because the Shaver case still haunts me after all these years.
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?
7:37 He literally got a lifelong reward for murdering someone.
I'm speechless.
This is why people like to believe in hell. It’s intolerable to think that someone like this will never face consequences.
Qualified Immunity.
@@esteemedmortal5917 the worst part is because of his skin color the media didnt care
@@ChoLovingVampire I believe this was before BLM got widespread traction, so I’m willing to bet that if he were black, it would have had even less coverage.
@@esteemedmortal5917 Tony Timpa got murdered right after Floyd buy have you even heard of his name?
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.
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.
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.
As always, top notch content, Dr. Grande.
Such a sad case.
What amazes me is that they were a group of six armed men, against one drunk out of shape man on his knees.
They could've EASILY, slowly, step at a time made their way toward him while he was face down and cuffed him.
The demeanor of these officers was for some reason overly fearful and insecure.
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.
the worst part is because of his skin color the media didnt care
@@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.
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.
Yeah, impossible to believe anyone could feel threatened by Daniel in that situation.
It's fucking gross and clearly murder to me. He obviously didn't have a weapon on him, at least not a firearm.
He executed that man
The rage I feel at this event will never fade away. Cold blooded murder of a defenseless fearful and intoxicated man. Murderers.
Why are they allowing cops with PTSD to go around with AR-15s.
That POS needs to go to jail. He severally overused his power as an officer, and literally murdered a defenseless civilian.
Correct
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.
@@MrAnythingForSelenas You sure about that? He could just "repent" and get a front row seat in the afterlife.
@@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. In the end we are going to be judged including you including me and including him. So if you rooting for him I guess just hope when he's judged God has Mercy on him.
@@MrAnythingForSelenas I hope God dishes out whatever should be dished out when the curtains close, for all of us.
That is one of the most awful police videos I've ever seen.Clearly the police were 100% guilty of murder.
Absolutely!
This incident was awful. Poor guy Daniel and his family.
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.
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 .
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
2 full grown armed men felt threatened by a dude crawling on his hands and knees.
Who hired these beta males into the police department?
@@DK-lz7kg they’re absolute cowards
They were cleared because this was an assassination that went exactly as planned.
Yes
Mesa PD for you. This was only so public cuz they had finally killed someone on non color. Mesa PD enjoys killing people. It’s factual
Situations like this make my blood boil
This is one of the worst police shootings I've ever seen caught on body cam. I feel ill
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.
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.
Thank you for covering this case. The injustice of this killing drives me insane.
Thank you for making a video on this case. It’s been one to bother me for some time; I’m glad you’re bringing attention to it once more.
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.
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
This case makes my blood boil to this day. RIP Daniel.
Thanks, Doc.
THE TURTLE TRUTH IS:

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.
@@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
Shaver was shot unlawfully by a police officer with full sleeves.
There. You. Go.
I, too, was wondering why they didn't just go up to him and handcuff him, considering he was unarmed and anxious. Daniel didn't seem to be that intoxicated either because he was very self-aware of what was going on.
Probably suspicious of him having a gun on him, or a gunman being in the room and jumping out?
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.
The legal system frowns on charging, much less actually prosecuting law enforcement it rarely happens.
@@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
@@mamacito1795 Nope because officers have qualified immunity
@@frostbite3318 this news just makes me mad
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.
@@mistyl1987 have you gone after those scumbag for damage?
@@mistyl1987ridiculous. Glad you survived. Fucking monsters
Dr. Grande your videos are addictive. The cool and calm style of speaking, and the occasional humor is perfect.
I'm glad to see recent coverage of this case. Cases like this should NEVER be forgotten until justice is served or policies that allowed this change. Thank you.
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.
“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".
@@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.
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.
This one got me a little choked up. Good analysis, Dr Grande.
I remember. An outright execution. Both cops should be in prison for life.
With the general prison population, so they don't last long.
It was but what the hell was he thinking pointing a scoped rifle from a hotel balconey?
@@desd1932 blaming the victim of an execution by police is wild.
Death penalty
@@rango8971 Nah
In Murica it's typical.
That Cop knew full well that man wasn’t a threat and you can Clearly see that he just wanted to shoot him all he had to do was make a move.
Yep that cop is a true psychopath, bet he goes home
To beat his wife kids and dogs everyday
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.
He was begging for his life....and tax dollars paid for that man's defense that got him off
@@brewcity2317 in a theater of war this would have been highly questionable
@@SamIAmB though even in war there are rules of engagement and protocol.
Thank you for such a well made and logical analyses. Brilliant!
Thanks. Great report. Your narrative is spot on.
Heartbreaking. I can't imagine seeing someone I know get killed like that. His family must be absolutely traumatized.
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.
Mother and babies.
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. 🤮
@@john-paulsilke893 what?
@@RotGodKing the cop who shot him got to sit down with the investigators and hash out his story for three days before filing it.
Beyond "incompetant", downright evil. These guys wanted to kill someone that day. These are the guys that give cops a bad name.
because of his skin color the media didnt care
@@ChoLovingVampire How did you find out about it, then?
@@need-to-know- wasn't on cnn, ill tell you that much
@@Yea___ It was on CBS morning and the LA Times though. That is media too, right?
@@need-to-know- How long did it take for them to pick it up? It was viral in independent media until they couldn't ignore it is my guess.
Seeing this, my heart is pounding
An absolutely BLOODBOLING case from start to finish. At least his widow ended up getting an $8m settlement from the city of Mesa, and his parents got $1.5m, so I guess that's something... But the cop that killed him got off completely scot-free with it.
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!!
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.
I remember seeing this officer on trial, and the question to him was, would you do it again and he said if he was in that position yes, he would totally fire his weapon in the same consequences again!?
Omg that's so vile! 😢
Thanks for clarifying some of the aspects of what happened. I had always thought that it was the man with the rifle issuing the commands. But your information puts a total different spin on what happened
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.
They had every chance to arrest him but didn't.
This is gaslighting to the absolute extreme. Appalling. Jury failed miserably.
If I saw that video as a juror the defense would be screwed. We'd be in that room voting over and over till Kingdom come
If I recalled correctly, they didn't let the jury watch the video.
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.
Now why wouldn't the jurors be shown this video?? That's a crime in itself, to withold solid proof .
@@porkcutlet3920 you are correct.
I cannot agree more with your analysis and conclusions
This was one of the most horrific police shootings of all time. I couldnt believe the video of this.
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.
I suppose more money would be the solution, but then maybe the would just hire more incompient, trigger-happy types?
@@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.
@@Strype13 Never will happen
Did he take that out? I missed that.
Will go back and listen to the end. I hope he didn't take it out because that is so true.
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.
I’ve been in law enforcement for 23 years & this was awful Law enforcement that led to manslaughter 🤦🏾♂️👎🏾
Wow! Absolutely crazy! Speechless.
That situation was so traumatic that I would've had a meltdown.
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.
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. 🙏🏻
The question is
Why is the police department hiring murderers? Is their policy to murder?
Yes … it is their policy to murder … obviously
very sensible and measured analysis
well done
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.
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
Thanks for the audit
“Expletives etched on it” what a judicious way of stating that his rifle had “you’re fucked” engraved on 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.
All you be in prison. Those cops are murderers.
What’s scary to think about is how often this happens in the pre-bodycam days.
Exactly😞
What's scary is that this still happens with body cameras & the cops STILL get away with it.
This broke my heart. Your explanation was spot on. I am angry he was acquitted, then allowed to get disability.
Bravo Dr. Grande.
Dr. Grande, THANK YOU for covering this tragic case. Daniel's wife and daughters absolutely deserve more justice for the loss of their husband and father. Brailsford should be spending life in prison- the "Get Fucked" inscribed on his rifle is clear premeditation in the context of this case.
"Immature and incompetent." You hit that nail right on the head.
Totally agree with your analysis.
Impressive summation!
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.
@@cdubois13 That being the case, the sergeant could still be charged (no double-jeopardy). They could still go after him, even though he retired.
Did I mishear? Did he just say the victim had a air gun or whatever and pointed it out of the window of his hotel?
@@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.
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.
Not just that, he gets medical disability pay for PTSD he claims he has. Murdering someone was tough on him.
@@animal1nstinct394 Gee,
my ass bleeds for these poor misunderstood but well-intentioned pigs!
@@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
Absolutely ONE of the most disturbing videos I've ever seen.
You made perfect sense in your evaluation. They should have called you as an expert witness for the prosecution, but I imagine the state attorneys didn’t really want to convict this officer…
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
@@ronfroehlich4697 Depends on the country. In the US? Yes. In more enlightened countries such as Norway? No.
@@batrachian149 not yet. But soon, yes.
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
@@cascadianrangers728
Agreed. The profession attracts psychopaths.
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.
Well said
Enjoyed the Video. I've always remembered this case for some reason. I have a Mild Tramatic Brain Injury and I would be afraid of getting cufusied like that. That is scary 😬
