Probably a wrongful death lawsuit win, and the wife will get she wants, money. Meanwhile she is rid of a husband that was drinking rum shots all day and was trying to impress his latest girlfriend by aiming an unknown (at that time) weapon from the fifth floor of a hotel. Scary scenario for any cop, and that translates into a quick trigger finger when the suspect repeatedly makes moves he had been told (repeatedly) not to make. Daniel Shaver loses, Brailsford probably has a career ruined, the wife makes out OK. Not much of a bleeding heart story if you ask me, especially for the wife.

Would you feel differently if that was your son? Probably not, right? Here is an innocent man, who committed no crimes, who was not a threat to anyone, who was co-operating with the officers and to the best of his abilities, trying to comply with the confusing orders shouted at him, ends up dead because the police were scared he might pull a gun out of his gym shorts. If the police can justify this shooting, then they can justify any shooting.

Yes, cops are getting very quick triggered. It may be a result of every idiot in this country being able to possess any weapon he wants. We have had cops shot when they stopped someone to write a traffic ticket. I would wager you have never dealt with a drunk, armed idiot have you? I didn't call the shooting rightful; in fact, I said the widow would probably win her suit, but the cop is still ALIVE, and that was the issue he settled. Walk a mile in his shoes before you judge.

Can you imagine your son being on the 4th floor of the same hotel with his wife, having a couple of drinks? Maybe? Can you imagine the caller making a mistake and saying there was a gun on the 4th floor? Your son gets shot and you say "well, at least the cops went home safe". By your reasoning, every traffic stop the driver should be greeted with a swat team. One wrong move or you sneeze you get shot. If you are going to speculate on why cops have a quick trigger, then I can speculate that Brailsford wanted to shoot someone. Why else would he have the words "YOUR F-CKED" etched on his gun? We should all support the police, and that means hold the bad ones accountable. Support the police, not the Police State.
