Yes there is enough evidence in the video to put down the cop. Jury selection needs to be looked at, because those jurors were obviously not qualified.
I'd like to see how many were ex-cops or relatives of cops or prosecutors.

All his crawling etc would have exposed a gun. They made him play a life or death game of Simon says. He was on ground cooperating and that asshole just gunned him down because he wanted to "fuck" him like his gun said.
That written threat on the cop's gun should have been introduced as evidence of pre-meditation.
What kind of a sick, sadistic bastard has something like that etched into his gun?

The contents of the body camera footage had been described to the public before, when Brailsford was first charged, but the video itself was withheld until this morning. NBC notes:
The detective investigating the shooting had agreed Shaver's movement was similar to reaching for a pistol, but has said it also looked as though Shaver was pulling up his loose-fitting basketball shorts that had fallen down as he was ordered to crawl.
The investigator noted he did not see anything that would have prevented officers from simply handcuffing Shaver as he was on the floor.
Forcing Shaver to crawl toward the police like this increased the likelihood that Shaver would lose balance and make wild movements, and Langley's bizarre orders were probably confusing even to a sober person.
The judge did not allow jurors to hear about an etching on the dust cover of the rifle Brailsford used to shoot Shaver, which said "You're f--ked," because he felt it was prejudicial.

I've showed it to wife, kids, kids friend's. 100 percent agree cop was wrong.
As would any sane human being.
You forget who you are dealing with here - in Gatlin Bizarro World, cops are gods and can do no wrong.
No, just showing something to someones wife, kids, and kids friends and having them agree does not establish fact .it only reflects emotion.
Nope cops are not Gods in my world and they should not be the enemies in your world. There are bad cops [1%] and the rest of the 1.1 million cops are good cops doing a great job.
TRY IT NOW. Get on your carpeted floor... on both your KNEES.... Cross one leg over the other and hold your arms STRAIGHT UP... and TRY waddling across the surface under those constraints. Not one or two motions... the entire floor-length... and SEE if you can hold and constrain your body upright successfully while doing so. Well!??
Now think of how scared that guy was when having to suddenly do all that at gunpoint, and conflicted by all the 'crawl' commands shouted repeatedly at him? Well?? Could you do it?? BTW... How does that Charley-horse feel??

Of course, sitting in some nice easy chair slowly watching the video maybe frame by frame .it would possibly look that way to anyone. But the cop on the scene has ONE SECOND [a scientifically proven fact] to make a decision.
The investigator noted he did not see anything that would have prevented officers from simply handcuffing Shaver as he was on the floor.
Naturally. when the defense attorney asks the investigator: Did you see anything that would have prevented officers from simply handcuffing Shaver as he was on the floor?
The investigator will say, without even blinking an eye: No.
Christ, Bubba .why in the Hell did you bold print that. Such an obvious Defense attorney question and there was definitely not anything physically preventing the handcuffing.

Completely immaterial and totally irrelevant .some really great drama though.
It is as you stated and you CONFIRMED in your previous post: The detective investigating the shooting had agreed Shaver's movement was similar to reaching for a pistol
Standardized training and scientifically proven in most all policed academies, the police officer on the scene has ONE SCEOND to determine if he is reaching for a gun. Much documentation and a number of videos validate this.
In fact, an American-American preacher here in Phoenix [I could look up the article, it would only validate what I am saying] was a staunch vocal opponent to police procedures saying they were always too quick to shoot. He went through the Shoot or Dont Shoot drill and now fully supports the right of police to make the decision on the spot.
Now think of how scared that guy was when having to suddenly do all that at gunpoint, and conflicted by all the 'crawl' commands shouted repeatedly at him? Well?? Could you do it?? BTW...
Doesnt matter. He was suddenly moving his hand towards his waistband after he had been specifically ordered NOT to make any sudden movements.
How does that Charley-horse feel??
How does a few rounds to the torso feel if you dont follow the officers instructions?

You're a cop-worshiping tool. Piss off!

An inscription on a dust cover is a very common thing and many people do it. They run the gauntlet. There are a number of suggestions on the Web.
Brailsford had used the rifle in any number of other situations before and had never shot anyone. The fact that the inscription was on the dust cover had nothing to do with this situation since it never had before.
Remember: The inscription on the dust cover of the rifle didnt cause Brailsford to shoot .it was Shavers sudden hand movement towards his waist that caused Brailsford to shoot.
Therefore the judge was correct is not permitting it to me mentioned at the trial since it was prejudicial.
You are attempting to use it here to prejudice others so the prejudicial point is well made .it would indeed have been highly prejudicial.
I am simply and humbly a charming, clean-cut individual who possesses great transcendence and the maturity to realistically see things as they factually are and not as I would biasly want them to be.
Piss off!
Not until the day comes that I can finally teach you that facts are your friends and not your enemies.
There you go again .trying ever so hard to make a prejudicial statement.
Of course Deputy Maricopa County Attorney Susie Charbel did NOT show the entire 18-minute video .she only showed the entire portion of the video that depicted the killing. Charbel adequately covered everything necessary for the prosecutor and the defense as far as viewing the video in her opening statement.
It is during your moments like this for me to truly understand why you are such a simpleton
you cop-sucking prick.
When all you have left is insulting name calling .I guess that means you are finished and that you lose.
Of course Deputy Maricopa County Attorney Susie Charbel did NOT show the entire 18-minute video .she only showed the entire portion of the video that depicted the killing.
Oh - you mean they showed the part of the video that was beneficial to the cop?
Good grief - you're so predictable.

Self aggrandizement is defined as exaggerating one's own importance or power. An example of self aggrandizement is a candidate stretching the truth about his accomplishments to win the position.

I know the definition, so you wasted your time since the shoe doesnt fit.

Self-confidence is a superbly high feeling of great trust in one's own abilities, qualities, and power of judgment.

No, you are extremely confused. It was the Deputy Maricopa County Attorney who showed the part of the video. It was not meant to be beneficial to the cop since she was prosecuting the cop and wanted him to be convicted. Had she not wanted him to be convicted, she would never have brought charges against the cop in the first place.
Oh - you mean
What I mean is that we need to trust the judicial process and respect the courts decisions.
We must have confidence in the due process of the criminal justice system to review the facts completely and accurately.
If we dont, then we have no justice system and without a justice system we have no law and order .then we have no country.
We should not cherry pick and support the verdicts we agree with .then be highly verbal to actively and profoundly condemn those verdicts with which we disagree.
I have no doubt should any similar facts as presented in this case with video to support it, ever be presented again .the judicial system will continue to do its job and the matter will again be placed before a jurors.
If piggy was so scared about a weapon why did he have the guy crawl over the woman's purse?
The guy didn't have a weapon. The other cops weren't stupid like the tattooed crazy looking murderer cop. You are a very weird person. You are blind to wrongs committed by the police. Probably because you are a retired cop who abused people.
He was inebriated and that is why he was confused by the commands.
His being drunk is what started the whole series of events:
"According to a police report, Daniel Leetin Shaver had been staying at a Mesa La Quinta Inn & Suites on business. He invited two acquaintances to his room for drinks. There he showed them a scoped air rifle he was using to exterminate birds inside grocery stores. At one point the gun was pointed outside his hotel window, prompting a witness to notify the front desk; the police were immediately called."
"Upon arrival, police gave Shaver and his acquaintance's detailed orders for several minutes, with frequent admonitions that failing to comply with them would get them shot."
His two acquaintances followed those instructions and were not shot. Shaver didn't and was.
