Police body cam footage shows the moment a Mesa, AZ police officer gunned down an unarmed man in a hotel hallway -- a shooting where the jury found the officer not guilty of 2nd degree murder.

The 2016 shooting happened in a hotel where police were responding to a report of someone pointing a gun out a window. Philip Brailsford was one of the responding officers, and in this video you see and hear the cops barking out commands to a man and woman the moment they walk out of their room.

While attempting to take Daniel Shaver into custody ... Brailsford fired his AR-15 five times, shooting and killing 26-year-old Shaver. Brailsford, who is no longer on the force, was on trial for 2nd degree murder and reckless manslaughter -- until the jury returned not guilty verdicts Thursday on both counts.

Mark Geragos represented Shaver's family and described the shooting as "an execution, pure and simple. The justice system miserably failed Daniel and his family." This footage was critical in the trial, and was released hours after the verdict.

In it, you see Shaver on his knees, begging cops not to shoot him. After struggling to follow some of Brailsford's directions ... he starts crawling toward the officers as commanded.


When are we gonna start holding these sons of bitches accountable?

White guy. Cop will go to trial. There will be no protests. No condos will be burned. The community will accept the judgment of the court.

There's gotta be more to this. How does a jury not find this guy guilty?

That was difficult to watch.

Poor guy was crying. I agree with the jury though. That was not 2nd degree murder. That was 1st degree pre-meditated murder. Cop had his mind made up he was going to shoot somebody.

“Do not reach towards the small of your back or we will shoot you!!!” the officer with the AR screams.

Less than 10 seconds later the idiot reached towards his back.

Bang!

Am I missing something?

Maybe you should. OP is all the way right.

That was a cold blooded execution.

Curious that none of there other cops decided to shoot, wonder why that is?

These blood thirsty mother frickers take names and ask no questions cause we don’t demand more from them.

The guy was stumbling because he was trying to crawl on his knees with his legs crossed. He was only 4 feet away and there were obviously at least 2 officers there. Why not just go up and cuff him while he is spread eagle on the ground?

I 100% support law enforcement, but that was an execution.

Definitely sketchy. I wasn't arguing that it wasn't. The guy did reach where he was asked not to is all I was saying.

ETA - don't think that the cop should have felt immediately threatened so easily.

The dude was clearly inebriated and trying his best to comply with commands.

It’s easier said than done not to freak out and make a mistake when somebody is yelling at you with an AR.

the price for fricking up some improvised obstacle while performing some type of advance yoga move should not be 5 bullets to the chest from 4 fricking feet away.

anyone that watches that clip should be furious.

His partner was clearly a fricking imbecile. The officer was giving commands to his idiot partner, the woman, and the man. High stress situation and he shoots a man dead. It was a clusterfrick from all parties.

Cop is a POS with a terrible tattoo. With all of the guns on the guy after the lady was in custody. Why not just cuff him while he was face down? Instead of yelling all of their shitty commands at the guy and possibly confusing him. Dude should not have reached but it should've never gotten to that point.
