And the man who was murdered was completely innocent of any wrongdoing. It's not like this was stopping a fugitive criminal or anything. An unarmed innocent man murdered execution style in his hotel.

"The detective investigating the shooting agreed during the trial that Shaver's movement was similar to reaching for a pistol, but said it also looked as though Shaver was pulling up his loose-fitting basketball shorts that had fallen down as he crawled. The investigator noted he didn't see anything that would have prevented officers from simply handcuffing Shaver as he was on the floor." Shaver was told if he "make a mistake, we will shoot you.." that power tripping cop couldn't wait to pull the trigger! Fuck!!! That was so disturbing to watch! I live in Mesa, knew of the story, but hadn't seen the video. That was straight up murder.
