Daniel Shaver was doing what he was told when police fatally shot him in a Mesa, Arizona hotel hallway. He’d been ordered to crawl on his knees, and after he reached up to adjust his basketball shorts, everything changed. Crime Watch Daily’s Amy Dash has the story on his tragic death, and explores whether the police were justified in shooting him.

Pigs
Jesus Christ. I understand that they were under the impression that he was armed but you can tell just by the way that cop is speaking that he's got some serious fucking tiny dick syndrome ego problems. He just loves having power and being the one with the weapon on a sickening fucking level. He doesn't want to stop crime he wants to have control over someones life. That man has zero regard for human life. Protect and serve my ass
That cop didn't have to shoot at the poor man he followed instructions. That cop should be in prison and should never allowed to be a cop again
The guy killed (Daniel Shaver) sounds like he was cheating on his wife when the police came knocking. That's why his wife never says "our family," or "our daughters." He could have been cheating on his wife for a very long time. It doesn't make what happened to him right, but just saying….
Who is Monique? Affair? Certain he was pointing a gun outside his window – no reason for guests to tell front desk and point to that room.
This is exactly why people hate cops!!! They have a badge and think they can do anything that they want and get away with it! That pig needs to go to jail for life!!!! He took it way too far!!!😡😡😡😡
No trigger discipline = itchy trigger finger
The SGT sucks at handling this situation. Absolutely fooking sucks. The cop that shot is weak.
Those cops should be in prison. If they would have quit being dictators who think a badge makes them king then they would have resolved the issue with conversation
When they say not all cops are bad cops like
I live in Arizona and mesa police are the worst cops ever !!!!!!
It definitely looks like he was reaching, unlike a lot of black men who absolutely do not move and still get shot.
Imagine being shot in the back. This isn’t the most twisted game of Simon says. This happens to black men and women alllllllllll thee time. Sorry this happens to him but it’s nothing new and y’all blowing this up super shocked like it doesn’t happen everyday to blacks. Goodbye
There is a right way and wrong way, this was totally the wrong way to handle this situation!
That cop is awful! Just awful!
Why do they have panicky, Bipolar 12 year olds running police tac squads in this town?
Was there not a senior officer that could've seen that this little guy was having trouble dealing with the situation and taken command?
No?
Well, alright. Better start the CYA campaign and make sure that the department saves face.
That's the important thing, now.
🙄
What they look in a person to be a cop??
Any man on the entire planet who is blatant enough to carry a gun/rifle in front of cops with automatic guns would not cry and will beg for his life. Even a 10 year old boy can guess the man is far far away from guns and cops. He is literally trembling, shaking like a leaf, still the cop believe the guy can reach for a gun. There is something called common sense apart from training, you are a trained human being, not a trained animal, or acting like a programmed a robot. One who called the cop, said, someone is brandishing something that "LOOKs like a GUN", caller wasn't 100% sure ,if it was really a gun or… What the cop is doing is like a big unleashed bull dog barking uncontrollably in a closed space, terrifying the clueless man enough to make a wrong body movements. You do not shout out that loud when a suspect is only fe feet away, could have just instructed him to hands up, turn around, hand cuffed him. Just another day, a huge cop smashed a 14 year old girl violently down on the ground, the cop later explained, he felt his life was in danger, as the girl was trying to kill him by punch him repeatedly, body cam shows other wise, the little girl tried but missed.
And that sad story of old Indian father, he was strolling, someone called the cop, old man didn't speak English, he couldn't explain, such a frail man, the cop smashed him so violently, that his neck broke , and is paralised. Cop later stated, he expected the people visiting his country should be able to speak and understand English.
wtf?? im so confused why would there be like 6 police officers at a situation where people THOUGHT THEY SAW a man with a gun? they weren't even sure nor shots were fired!!! what the hell the cop was literally desperate to kill someone, that's why he asked for ammo, i hate this and i hope he rots in jail, disgusting.
Rogue cops drunk on power trip.
this makes me so angry he should get life the guy wasn’t armed and didn’t move or do anything to be shot. f the police the kill more people
The cops were just trying to find something to shoot him dead. So, they can say "the suspect wouldn't comply to our orders. All they had to do is go up to the man and put cuffs on him. He was already on his knees.
Everyone is so sad, hurt & understanding when white ppl are shot…but when it happens to black/brown ppl it’s justified.
They did that shit on purpose!
That cop is an idiot!!!! I hope he stays in prison forever
Wait, they’re white and they still shot them?
I thought they protected white people. 😔
Why lethal force, does this cop not have a taser and these cops are morons.
This cop needs SHUT THE FUCK UP cause this man is doing what he says and this pig is just looking for someone to kill and it’s a fact
This is crazy WTF our cops don’t even carry guns here in New Zealand, what the hell gives the cops the right to shoot a man even if he was armed there are so many guns on him he wouldn’t of got far with a weapon anyway, the poor guy was so upset he new what was going to happen this is cold blooded murder whatever way you look at it
Charles Langley is the voice being heard! All I can say is Wow!! Coincidentally he is retired now.
Whenever I hear someone say that people can avoid a bad outcome with police simply by being compliant, I direct them to this video. The truth is, there are many police out there who are so corrupted by their power that they value their authority over people’s rights and life. I know that’s not pleasant information to swallow but that’s how it is.
There were multiple officers on scene. Why couldn't one of them just walk over to the guy while he was laying down with his hands in front of him and just handcuff him? Why did they have to make the people crawl on their knees like some kind of animals?
I remember this case, it is still infuriating. The way that cop talked to an innocent man. Yelling, telling him and her to shut up. Threatening to kill them for every misunderstanding. He forgot who works for who.
I have watched so many videos about this case and I believe still till this day at the police should have approached him when he was on his knees on the floor. They should have approached him with their guns drawn and put them in handcuffs right there. There was no need for all that other shit.
Also kind of disgusting how easy it is to set someone up like that too, all they had to say was "I think I saw him with a gun" and that's how they treat him.
Phoenix PD Mesa PD Tempe PD Scottsdale PD state troopers are just looking for a excuse to shoot someone they’re the most violent police in United States they abuse there authority honestly they’re pieces of shit shitty ass dirty ass cops and I’ll say it to there faces take me to jail so I can sew you cock suckers
Crying. I know these horrible things happen all the time. Just seeing him crying and complying made me think of my son. Getting shot down while literally crying and "trying to obey".
Wtf😤
there is absolutely no justification for this, it's murder…
I dont know anybody that would have past his test!
Disgusting Mini Hitler! I hope he Got time! Big Time! Over The Top! Loves His Power, Major Controller,! Disgusting Excuse of a Human Being, never mind protect citizens!
Hmmm, didn’t see this one plastered all over the main stream media! 🤔
Murder for sure
These cops were out of control
and this is why there is a serious disconnect between law enforcement and civilians. people don’t trust the police because these incidents repeatedly happening. there was absolutely no reason to shoot this man. being very disrespectful for absolutely no reason to these people who obviously were being compliant, all that yelling and treats caused confusion.trigger happy moron took those poor babies dads.
This was such an unnecessary tragedy. 💔 And that man shouldn’t be a cop!
