Your words were so spot on that I shared your post. I am shaken over this incident and the terror that Shaver endured
It shook me up too...
I had a family member hit by drunk driver—in that instance and all other presonal run-ins, the police have always been cordial and professional...but this officer was neither.
If an officer had been shrieking those commands at me with an AR 15, I absolutely know that I would be a crying, trembling, nervous wreck and likely be ddead on the floor like Shavers.
I read that someone was waving an AIR rifle out the window of his hotel room...I am not even sure it was him....stupid, poor choice in some cities—like Chicago or New York...but it was a AIR RIFLE IN ARIZONA for God’s sake...ARIZONA IS AN OPEN CARRY STATE...I would think possessing an AIR RIFLE and WAVING IT OUT A WINDOW it would be less of a big deal and certainly nothing to shoot SOMEONE WHO IS UNARMED FIVE TIMES!
Hope they sue the pants off the cop! then take his boxers too!
