#Repost @berning_media_network ・・・ #Repost @freedom_faction ・・・ Thoughts? We have some pretty psychopathic people “protecting” us. In March of 2016, #Mesa Police Officer #PhilipBrailsford was charged with #seconddegreemurder for gunning down #DanielShaver, an innocent husband, and father of two. The shooting was captured on body cam footage, part of which was released the following May. On Thursday, a jury, apparently blinded by the badge delivered a verdict of not guilty and the rest of the body camera footage was released—showing a cold-blooded murder. In October, Brailsford’s defense claimed that the prosecution showing the jury the body cam during opening statements would be unfair to the #killercop. Apparently, this strategy worked. Jurors deliberated less than six hours and despite the horrifying body camera showing Brailsford execute Shaver, they somehow returned a not guilty verdict. This is a travesty of justice and a testament to the system that protects killers who wear badges. Last year, an #Arizona judge announced that they would be releasing the body camera footage showing Brailsford murder Shaver. When they did release it, however, the city released two videos, both of which were clearly edited and portions redacted. Now that he’s been acquitted, the full body camera was released showing Shaver being entirely compliant with police. Shaver was on his knees, crying and begging police not to shoot him when the coward opened fire on him, firing five times—killing him instantly. Mark Geragos, Sweet’s lawyer, called the shooting an “execution.” “The justice system miserably failed Daniel (Shaver) and his family,” Geragos said. Police said Shaver, a 26-year-old from Texas staying at the #LaQuintaInn & Suites on a business trip on Jan. 18, 2016, had invited a couple he met to his room for drinks. No one was in any danger and the entire incident was a misunderstanding. For the majority of the video, police appear to be in a standoff with people who simply can’t hear them. “Occupants of room 5-0-2, this is the Mesa Police,” the officer is heard yelling on the video, to which he receives no response. 🖐🏾More in comments👇🏾#PoliceState #PoliceBrutal
