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.

Wasn’t it the dust cover? Or maybe the exposed part of the bolt?

Wasn’t the guy acquitted of murder?

It’s not politically-correct, but that’s the way cops roll. The point of this is to intimidate bad guys into surrendering. The key difference between the cops and the bad guys can be summed up by mob wiseguy Henry Hill’s recollection of when he was arrested. Cops will curse like sailors to get suspects to comply. Bad guys will just blow your head off:

[Henry Hill: For a second, I thought I was dead, but when I heard all the noise I knew they were cops. Only cops talk that way. If they had been wiseguys, I wouldn’t have heard a thing. I would’ve been dead.]

The guy was drunk and terrified. Never should have been shot.
