Police State Worshiping ...

Bullshit !!!

Despite the Blue Lives Matter page celebrating the death of innocent fathers at the hands of killers with badges, a large portion of American society refuses to buy into the propaganda.

The commentary on MSN sites I've seen very much show public sentiment feels this was an unjust killing and a terrible verdict. As I said, this event was a PR disaster for the police. When ordinary people see the video, they don't see a criminal getting killed. They see someone who is struggling in fear of the police. They see themselves with all the stress of getting stopped for speeding, but is stress on steroids. Instead of a monetary fine for not hurting anyone, they see one of their own, in terrible fear, getting killed by stupid, gun happy police in spite of doing his very best to comply to angry shouted orders threatening him with death. And the "your fucked" logo on the perp's M-16 doesn't do the police any favors either.

It would have been better for police PR if he had gotten a conviction. As is, this acquittal cost them public sentiment. That's always the case with verdicts which the public sees as unjust. At least when it's perceived to be habitual and routine.

The next legal phase is the wrongful death suit which I expect will be settled out of court, as the police should reasonably be concerned about a civil jury watching that video and being asked not "was the cop guilty of murder" but instead "did Shaver deserve to die?"

On Thursday, a jury, apparently blinded by the badge delivered a verdict of not guilty

Or ... they reviewed the evidence -- including the video -- and decided that the prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer was guilty of second-degree murder.

Now, if the author is suggesting that future cases be decided by an Internet poll, he should say so.

Police State Worshiping Cop Apologists Celebrate Death …

There is no celebrating death going on and if it’s blood from a turnip you cop hating assholes want….then I’ll give you some of that.

I’ll do that by showing where one other Arizona officer has previously been charged with murder, Former Phoenix police Officer Richard Chrisman was sentenced in 2013 to seven years in prison for fatally shooting 29-year-old Danny Frank Rodriguez in 2010. He shot and killed 29-year-old Danny Frank Rodriguez following a brief altercation with Chrisman.

The trial pitted Chrisman’s version of events against that of his partner on the call, Officer Sergio Virgillo, whose report on what took place inside the south Phoenix trailer on Oct. 5, 2010, led to Chrisman’s arrest hours later.

Chrisman said he entered the home after Rodriguez resisted contact and pulled out his duty weapon to encourage Rodriguez to calm his dog.

Virgillo’s version of events had Chrisman barging into the trailer after Rodriguez asked for a warrant, putting his weapon to Rodriguez’s head and responding that the gun served as his warrant.

Virgillo told jurors he successfully de-escalated the situation toward the end of the call and was encouraging Rodriguez to leave on his bicycle when Chrisman shot Rodriguez twice in the chest.

The system worked back then and the system worked again last week when the eight-member jury deliberated for less than six hours over two days. The jury also found Brailsford not guilty of the lesser charge of reckless manslaughter.

The situation with Mitch Brailsford was entirely different….it was a tragedy, not a murder, and the exaggerated statement and claim made in the headline of this thread along with your hyperbole added for the sake of emphasis by you cop haters will not change that.

The reportedly inebriated Shaver was following Langley’s commands as he began to crawl on his hands and knees toward the officers. But Shaver stopped crawling and raised his right hand near his waistband, prompting Brailsford to fire. Mitch Brailsford acted in a split-second exactly as he was trained.

The footage of shooting as it was captured on two police on-body cameras was used to form the foundation of the prosecution's case.

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.

It is unknown if the judge let the jury hear that Shaver had fired the rifle in his room at least once. Or that a dead sparrow was found in Shaver’s gun case.

No, cop haters, Brailsford didn’t get a pass because he was wearing a cop uniform that night. Brailsford religiously followed the tactics of a well-trained officer. He did exactly what he was trained to do. If you cop haters believe the training is wrong then that’s not something the justice system and Brailsford should be accountable for….go after departmental training and get it changed.

Brailsford shot Shaver because he believed he was protecting himself, along with the five other officers and a woman police had taken into custody.

The jury decided that and your attempt at a retrial by public opinion on the Internet will do nothing to change that. Oh, it will allow you frustrated and angry individuals to vent and venting is good….sometimes.

There ...

The commentary on MSN sites I've seen very much show public sentiment feels this was an unjust killing and a terrible verdict.

This is quite easily understandable, following in the sustained onslaught of bad publicity some individuals and groups continually try to give to cops….trying to make some people begin to think that Americans had completely lost all faith in our LEOs.

But on the other hand, the situation you reflect on is not happening in places like in Philadelphia where it shows there is a whopping 72 percent of respondents who said the had either “a great deal” or “a good amount” of respect for police officers.

Shamefully, many people who really have no reason to harbor ill feelings towards the police stand silent while the police profession is disparaged or they join in the chorus to sing the narrative being pushed by anti-cop extremists….that every incident is a “pattern.”

Irreparable damage now appears to being done to policing as a honorable profession since many a city now faces an exodus of experienced officers.

A poll shows that public safety has emerged at the top of concerns of city residents….with an astounding 44 percent saying it is their biggest worry.

There is a small number but loudly oriented group who actually believe we should abolish all police departments. This group of people have captured an incredible amount of public attention as they relentlessly strive to undermine one of the nation’s most revered and extremely vital institutions.

The rule of law can only exist if we join together to counter an entire group of people that has sprung up to criticize every action of the police. Naturally, no cop ever gets asked anything about the realities of the work they do….but we can speak for them.

Many activists strive to get people to hate the police as much as they do….to show that cops have a conflictive and adversarial job.

Unfortunately bad apple cop haters are attempting to make it become politically incorrect to argue that the bad actions of a few cops are not representative of all cops. And Heavens forbid, to show that some highly referenced cases of abuse are in fact justifiable .

Many folks are sitting silently by and let this malicious cabal completely silence the good and decent majority of citizens.

Be it recognized that a huge amount of perhaps irreversible destruction has already been done to undermine our police departments.

But we can still join together to stop the hemorrhaging caused by the cop haters during this time that is becoming known as the most trying times in the history of all American police workings.

tater -

As a candid opinion, you are becoming a stupid, phucin' long-winded gas bag akin to Vicomte13 when it comes to posting on LF. Please hold your chatter down and become that exuberant, to the point ... and sharp poster that we still expect from you.

You have something to say, airman ... say it with a snappy salute to the audience!

a stupid, phucin' long-winded gas bag akin to Vicomte13

Aw, you're thinking of me.

Immediately after Brailsford was acquitted

The defendant was ACQUITTED by a jury of his peers, fuck stain. That's how our legal system works. Nobody needs to "apologize" for his actions. He was found not guilty... nothing to apologize for. It's the system our forefathers set up. You don't like it, you unpatriotic fuck? Then move in with Ba ba ba Bucky.

Ex-officer dirtbag will get the shaft in civil proceedings like OJ.

Just like the founding fathers intended.

OJ hasn't paid the victim family jack shit, criminal cock sucker... but that is how we roll.

To bad for the ex football playing potato

It has been said the last thing in the world that Mitch Brailsford wanted to do that night was shoot. His goal wasn’t to kill Daniel Shaver and Shaver is not a bad person, but Shaver’s irresponsibly stupid actions are what brought the police that night.

A gun pointed out a window.

The shooting occurred after police were called to a Mesa La Quinta Inn & Suites on a report of a person pointing a gun out a fifth-floor window. A couple in a hotel hot tub told staff they saw a silhouette with a gun pointed toward a nearby highway.

Police determined Shaver was unarmed after he was shot. They did find a pellet gun in his hotel room, which Shaver used for his job as a pest-control worker. The gun had been fired inside the room and a pellet was in the wall. The police also found a dead sparrow in Shaver’s gun case. Whatever would possess a person acting responsibly and in their right mind to keep a dead sparrow in his gun case….who knows?

Police later learned Shaver had been showing his pellet gun to Monique Portillo and Luis Nuñez, two hotel guests Shaver had met earlier that night. Both testified Shaver had been playing with the pellet gun near his hotel room window.

At one point, while Shaver was on his knees, he put his hands behind his back and was ordered to put his hands back up in the air. Sgt. Charles Langley, one of six officers in the hallway, warned Shaver would get shot if he put his hands down again, the video shows. It is reported that Shaver was inebriated and at that point he began to cry and said, "Please don't shoot me." Trying to follow Langley's commands, Shaver began to crawl on his hands and knees toward the officers, the video shows. But Shaver stopped crawling and raised his right hand near his waistband, prompting Brailsford to fire.

The justice system works. It has been reported that since 2005, 84 police officers across the nation have been charged with murder or manslaughter in connection with an on-duty shooting. From those, 32 officers were convicted while 40 were not with the remaining cases pending.

And we must never forget, this is 84 police officers in 12 years out of the 1,100,000 officers who are diligently and faithfully serving across our great nation. But the way cop hating asshole Deckard saturates the Latest Articles section on LF each day with some alleged bad cop reports….anyone suffering with low intelligence may follow his belief pattern to think that every cop they see is a no good son of a bitch.

he began to cry and said, "Please don't shoot me."

Why would a man begging for his life intend to shoot a cop?

Cop-worshipers like you cheer the sadistic badged thug who murdered an innocent man - your submissive fetish for authority is appalling.

but Shaver’s irresponsibly stupid actions are what brought the police that night.

One of the byproducts of liberalism is NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS. Liberals pass blame on everything. Hell, they don't even blame a scumbag lazy shitbag for pumping a chemical poison into their veins... they call that an "addiction". As I've pointed out, MOST of Stones posting base have heavy liberal traits within their pro drug brains. It's what actually formed LP and LF... they were banished from conservative forums. They are not going to expect the sheeple to be held RESPONSIBLE for their stupid actions... it is what it is.

After what happened in Vegas, and we have posters here that don't expect law enforcement to shove the barrel of their Colt rifle in their mouth if they do something as fucking stupid as point a rifle out a hotel window? Haaaa, that's liberal.

Stupid games earn stupid prizes. Shaver won a stupid prize when a jury of 12 acquitted the officer(s). It's not a matter of me or you supporting the officer or apologizing for his decisions... it's about accepting our legal system and its outcomes, regardless if we agree. Anything else is SNOWFLAKE safe space bullshit. Tell the AGENDA crowd to find a safe space to cope.

... he began to cry and said, "Please don't shoot me."

Why would a man begging for his life intend to shoot a cop?

Are all of you just completely lacking in empathy or common sense, or is it that you sadists get sexually excited when a cop kills someone who is NO THREAT to them?

Are all of you just completely lacking

I support the criminal justice system that our founding fathers put in place. I support the courts decision to ACQUIT the officer... REGARDLESS OF MY OPINION AFTER SEEING THE VIDEO. The difference between a liberal scumbag like you and a conservative person like me is NOT a lack of common sense... it's a lack of SELF IMPORTANCE (unlike you liberals). Unlike you libtards, I'm not so self important that I believe my opinion is relevant OVER THE JURY OF THE DEFENDANTS PEERS opinions.

You libtards are so self important, you think you always know what's best for everyone and LACK the ability to COPE with what makes you sad... like this jury decision. Suck it up, snowflake. Find a safe space... you aren't relevant ... just over sensitized and pussified.

Why should we accept the legal system when they obviously got it wrong?

The founders didn't.

That tattooed cop who murdered shavers has really evil looking eyes.

Why would …

Why – Why – Why …

There are any number of “why would” questions surrounding this individual.

• Why would he have a dead sparrow in his gun case?
• Why would he shoot his rifle in the room?
• Why would he point his rifle out the motel room window?
• Why would he so inebriated and on a crying jag?
• Why would he notfollow instructions from the cops?
• And so on ..

  Why – Why – Why …

  Well, you can pose all the “why would” questions you desire to.

  But it matters not for the eight members of the jury found all the answers they needed to correctly acquit the cop.

  And that is what they rightly did.

  What happened was a tragic incident….it was not a murder.

  That is the verdict of the jury and that is something you will forever have to live with.

  You not need to learn to do that.

  You can however continue to whine about it all you want to....it matters to no one.

  All cop-haters like you can ever do is ….WHINE.

Why did he have a dead sparrow in his gun case?

Why did he shoot his rifle in the room?

Irrelevant,

Why was he pointing his rifle out the motel room window?

Showing off maybe.

But it matters not for the eight members of the jury found all the answers they needed to correctly acquit the cop.

If the trial had happened BEFORE the Vegas Massacre, the cop would have been found GUILTY.

Why was he inebriated and on a crying jag?

Are those criminal offenses? He was crying because he didn't want to be killed by the sterno-infused thugs.

Why couldn’t he follow instructions from the cops?

He did the best he could under the circumstances - I would bet that no one who was forced to crawl on two crossed legs could have completed the task without falling down or reaching to PULL UP HIS PANTS all the while being yelled at and made confused by the cops.

Oh - and keep licking those jack-boots slave.

There's really no hope for you Gatlin - you will always cheer for sadistic cops.

Evil eyes …

That tattooed cop …

You are right. The ex-cop does have evil looking eyes. But, I am here to tell you that you really don’t know what evil looking eyes are until you have seen the picture of Bucky posted on a Facebook page. Man, he has some REALLY evil looking eyes….totally GROSS looking evil eyes.

Furthermore, you are correct about the loads of tattoos on the ex-cop….it makes him look like a freak, the kind of freak I would imagine Deckard would look like should we ever have the unfortunate experience to see a picture of him.

I personally feel that the Mesa did the right thing to fire this ex-cop very shortly after the shooting. Also, if I were the Chief of Police in Mesa and this raunchy character walked in for an interview, I would take one look at him, especially with all of the tattoos and say “thank you, good bye….next interviewee please.”

Having totally agreed with you until now, I must objectively say that a person cannot be, or never should be, judge or found guilty by a jury of eight simply based on his bad looks. That would be the wrong thing to do….definitely the wrong thing. A person must be found guilty or acquitted on the basis of evidence presented and then only after careful consideration.

Whether to agree with the verdict or not….becomes a matter of expressing personal opinion. And fortunately, personal opinion is not the law of the land in America. At least not yet….although I sincerely believe some people, Deckard definitely included among those, are diligently working to have personal opinion become the law of the land. It at least seems that way….judging from the irrational statements he makes.

After viewing the video a couple of times….I ask myself: “Would I have taken the shot were I to have been in the ex-cops place?” I can emphatically state that I would not have. However, I can also emphatically that the cop correctly, albeit it perhaps blindly, followed his training procedures. What obviously happened there, obvious at least to me, is that he failed to tamper his training procedures with an application of good judgment and old fashioned common “horse sense.” These are things I do find sadly lacking in the youth of today. Again, I only need to point to Deckard as validation of this.

If I were on the jury and based on everything I have extensively viewed and read….I would also have found the ex-cop not guilty. Based on the fact that he followed his training procedures and those training procedures have not been declared unlawful. And if I were on the City Council….I would have the Chief’s ass for having such an individual on the force in the first place.

Now, in defense of the Chief hiring the guy….as much as it pains me to do so. Cop- hating bastards are out to damage and destroy law and order as we have known it from the beginning. In fulfilling their sworn mission and berating cops so much, they are contributing to the early retirement of good cops and preventing the enlistment of new good and better cops. Because of the cop-haters actions, LE is a public service no one seems to want to perform anymore. At least the good folks don’t. So what are we to be left with? Easy answer! People being hired like the ex-cop involved in this tragic event.

… A man reaps what he sows … ~ Galatians 6:7

If cop-haters want poorly performing cops like the ex-cop involved in this tragic event, then they must be prepared to continue onward to forever “reap what they sow.”

If they don’t, then they should STFU with all their blanket critical condemnations and go to work within the system to make needed improvements.

This is so plain and simple that everyone, including even simple-minded Deckard, can understand.

There …

Irrelevant …

Wrong!

It is absolutely relevant because it shows his mental condition and state of mind at the time of his grossly wrong FINAL action.

Why was he pointing his rifle out the motel room window?

Showing off maybe.

Man, was he ever showing off….and doing a slew of WRONG things while showing off that eventually led to the cause of his death.

But it matters not for the eight members of the jury found all the answers they needed to correctly acquit the cop.

If the trial had happened BEFORE the Vegas Massacre, the cop would have been found GUILTY.

You don’t know that.

You absolutely have no way of knowing that.

It is mere speculation on your part.

What does one do when they are mentally unable to handle true facts?

They speculate …

Why couldn’t he follow instructions from the cops?

He did the best he could under the circumstances ..

“Under the circumstances”….YOU SAY?

You mean that he was inebriated….it was reported that he was. Or should we say “DRUUNK” and use that as a more commonly accepted term?

Ever watch the videos of the sobriety test during a traffic stop when someone is instructed to walk on the white line? Sure you have, and they are no doubt doing their best also.

Well, asshole….someone doing their best “under the circumstances” of being drunk COUNTS for NOTHING.

Get fucking real …

Why should we accept the legal system

Our founders designed due process being judged by 12 peers. That's what happened. 12 of that officers PEERS judged him and acquitted him. YOU aren't his PEER.... YOUR opinion is as worthwhile as a screen door on a submarine.

I thought the OJ verdict was garbage... and I still had to stomach that shit with a smile. I suggest you do as well. Otherwise, you're no different than the urban city jungle garbage that rioted after the Rodney King verdict.

If the trial had happened BEFORE the Vegas Massacre, the cop would have been found GUILTY.

IF my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

Shut your cock swaddler

“Under the circumstances”….YOU SAY?

You mean that he was inebriated….

Inebriated or not - I would bet that no one who was forced to crawl on two crossed legs could have completed the task without falling down or reaching to PULL UP HIS PANTS all the while being yelled at and made confused by the cops.

This has been addressed before, a number times with the same comclusions. You really need to start paying attention.

Under the circumstances”….YOU SAY?

You mean that he was inebriated….

Inebriated or not - I would bet that no one who was forced to crawl on two crossed legs could have completed the task without falling down or reaching to PULL UP HIS PANTS all the while being yelled at and made confused by the cops.

You keep ignoring the fact that the other man and the woman were able to comply with all instructions.

They did without falling down or reaching to PULL UP [THEIR] PANTS all the while being …

Screw PULLING UP HIS PANTS, idiot….that is what got him shot. You don’t reach for your waistband when a cop has a gun trained on you. Common Sense 101.

Don’t make me keep coming back to repeatedly enlighten and correct you.

You keep ignoring the fact that the other man and the woman were able to comply with all instructions.

The others were not forced to crawl along on the floor with their legs crossed.

Oh - and your "hero"?

Seems he was a ticking time bomb.

You're a fricking joke.

I suppose any court rulings I posted would garner the same response?
