Go to Google and type in man begs for his life.
I cannot get the link to work.
It will show 3 videos at the top of the page.
CNN, CBS, and Inside Edition reported on this in 2017.
The officer was acquitted.
He was reinstated and now receives 2,500.00 per month for PTSD.
He murdered an unarmed man crawling in the hallway of a hotel.
The man was crying and begging for his life.
He had a pellet gun in his hotel room.
I fucking hate the police.
If anyone can post the video please do.
I tried for over an hour and can not get the link to work.
P.S. The video has been posted below.
Thank you dalton99a

Also in December 2017, it was revealed that Brailsford had been involved in a prior incident in 2015 regarding an arrest of teenagers in a store. During the arrest, Brailsford was recorded on video throwing a teenager against a shelf, putting the teenager in a headlock, and then slamming the teenager onto the ground. At the time, the incident was publicized (but Brailsford was not named) by a witness to the arrest, who alleged excessive force because the teenagers "weren't doing anything". A spokesman for the Mesa Police Department said that the department "looked at" the incident and "administratively cleared" Brailsford, because "police work sometimes isn't pretty".[34][35]
In August 2018, Brailsford was reinstated by the Mesa Police Department, staying for a further 42 days in what the department described as a "budget position". The department agreed to reimburse Brailsford for medical expenses related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Brailsford's lawyer has said that Brailsford suffered PTSD due to his shooting of Shaver and the resultant criminal trial. The reinstatement allowed Brailsford to apply for "accidental disability" suffered during the course of work. As a result, Brailsford was unanimously approved to be retired on medical grounds. Brailsford was also given a pension of $2,500 per month. The fact that Brailsford was ultimately medically retired instead of remaining fired was only revealed to the public in July 2019.[4][5][36] According to a pay stub attached to Brailsford's bankruptcy file, he has been working for a steel company in Glendale, Arizona.[37]

Jurys always assume the police are just doing their job so they can't be held responsible for destroying someone's life for no reason at all.

(32,468 posts)about the jury they pull together 1. The are the type of people who believe cops cant do wrong. No matter how horrible the killing, they just need be given a lil bit of doubt to acquit. 2. they live in the community, afraid to convict the cops.

(219 posts)This needs to be known ahead of time that such police behavior will not be unpunished.
Wonder what happened with the guy supposedly brandishing a gun from 2nd floor. We'll never know.
Hoping that the House bill goes through. Hope the protests go on as long as necessary for change to occur.

(32,468 posts)to crawl towards him. his pants were falling, he may have reached to pull them up, and the cop killed him. cop went bankrupt from the cost of the trial. They help him out by giving him enough days to get disability ...
when it happened the video was everywhere... everyone said it was excution. but they always seem to pull together just the right jury to acquit

(89,261 posts)than the average so they want to become cops to have some control over others . But we see as in this example of their cowardice and just plain incompetence and stupidity is killing innocent people.
And they get paid for it through taxpayer funds.
If we had some actual standards most of these types would never make it into these type of jobs because they are clearly not fit for it.
