The Cold Blooded Murder of Daniel Shaver By Mesa Az Police Dept - (2016)

Shaver was a traveling pest control worker. He was in his hotel room (a La Quinta Inn) showing off to guests a pellet gun he used for work. Police responded to a 911 call claiming that a man was pointing a rifle out a window.
"Langley tells Shaver to keep his legs crossed and push himself up into a kneeling position. As Shaver pushes himself up, his legs come uncrossed, prompting the officer to scream at him. “I’m sorry,” Shaver says, placing his hands near his waist, prompting another round of screaming.
“You do that again, we’re shooting you, do you understand?” Langley yells.
“Please do not shoot me,” Shaver begs, his hands up straight in the air.
At the officer’s command, Shaver then crawls down the hallway, sobbing. At one point, he reaches back — possibly to pull up his shorts — and Mesa Police Officer Philip Brailsford opens fire, striking Shaver five times."
At trial, the officer testified that he thought the suspect was reaching for his gun, and that if he had a chance to do things over, he’d make the same decision again. In other words, he presented the classic "I was in fear for my life" defense. He was afraid, so he fired. Multiple times. He was acquitted, sued and got his former job back, was allowed to retire with his full pension, then joined a neighboring police force.
