[Reminds me of the shooting of Daniel Shaver.]

---

I have a great of sympathy for the victim and his family, but the situation was more complicated than portrayed by a media bent on portraying all cop shootings as unjustified.

My take is that the cop made an honest mistake that will haunt him for the rest of his life, not just as a matter of conscience, but career-wise. But there was no criminal culpability.

[Leaning Right]

The cop who shot Daniel Shaver is a sick, sick SOB. He shot Shaver with a rifle. And on the side of his rifle case the cop had written “You’re f*cked.” Not exactly the same as “To Protect and Serve.”

That’s something about the Shaver case that I never forgot. Plus the fact that Shaver was crying and pleading for his life the whole time.

You have a screw loose to think that shooting of Shaver was ok. He was crying and bending over backwards to obey conflicting commands in the psychotic game of Simon Says the cops were inflicting on him.

He was laying completely prone in his underwear and they told him to belly crawl forward. As his boxers worked down he reached to pull them up and the cop who had a massively superior position of advantage over him slaughtered him with numerous AR-15 rounds.

Then he was left to die without the slightest effort to begin first aid. To approve of that shooting is pure bootlick.
