I'd like to share this video, as the police officer in the video shot and killed a suicidal man, but was convicted of second-degree murder.
Both cops in each incident acted without reason or care, but unfortunately, only did one of these officers receive appropriate punishment.
These police officers in the Daniel Shaver incident were not properly trained or screened to perform their duties. All officers involved in the incident minus Brailsford should be penalized. Brailsford himself should be convicted of second-degree murder.
Also Planr is dumb. I hope you never end up in a situation fueled by adrenaline and fear, cuz you'll do some stupid ass stuff.

can confirm
Col. Burton:
cop: "listen to my instructions, do not make a mistake, you are to keep your legs crossed"
cop: "push yourself up to a kneeling position"
>uncrosses legs while pushing himself up *mistake one*
>puts hands behind his back *mistake two*
cop: "if your hands go to the small of your back or down we will shoot you, do you understand me"
guy: "yes sir"
cop: "crawl towards me"
>begins to crawl, then reaches right hand to his waist *mistake three*
tbh he had three strikes, the cops commands weren't cryptic at all. The cop shot him because it looked like he was reaching towards a weapon in his wast band. I feel bad but put yourself in the cops shoes for a moment. Clearly there was an issue where they needed weapons drawn, and with the stress level with him already reaching towards the small of his back probably had them on high alert.

Regardless of how many chances he had, there was no excuse for this. Brailsford went in there with the intent to shoot and not once did he think about anything else.
