Shaver was kneeling, crying and begging not to be shot after he was confronted by six Mesa police officers in a La Quinta Inn & Suites hallway Jan. 18, 2016. Brailsford, who was fired two months after the shooting, testified that he fired his AR-15 rifle five times because it appeared Shaver was reaching for a gun.
It looks like the cop made up the part about Shaver having a gun.
Why would the man be on his knees begging for his life if his intention was to shoot a cop?
