The Mainstream Media And Colin Kaepernick Are Silent After This Disgraced Cop Killed An Unarmed White Father Of 2 And Got Away With It

This week a disgraced former cop in Mesa, AZ was found not guilty of both murder and manslaughter in the shooting of an unarmed, law abiding father of two that was caught on body cam video. The cop, Philip Brailsford, was later fired after it was revealed that his gun had the words “You’re fucked” on it, and the video clearly shows that the deceased did absolutely nothing wrong.
So…….where are the protests you ask? Where is the round the clock coverage? Well, this was Daniel Shaver:
And just like most people who are killed by the police, he’s a white guy. So there will be no protests or social justice warriors using his name in a hashtag.
He wasn’t a career criminal selling drugs like Freddie Grey was, so the DA of Baltimore won’t be trying six cops on bogus murder charges.
He wasn’t attacking a police officer or robbing a store clerk like Michael Brown, so the DOJ didn’t investigate this one.
He wasn’t rolling around on the ground, wrestling a cop and trying to take away his service weapon like Alton Sterling was, so entire cities will not be shut down as protesters blockade highways and demand police accountability.
Former President Obama won’t say that the police “acted stupidly,” or claim that if he had a son he might look like Daniel Shaver.
A little background first. Brailsford was called to a La Quinta back in January of 2016 on reports that someone had been pointing a rifle out of a window. Daniel Shaver was very wasted, wearing mess shorts, and had apparently been messing around with a few pellet guns that he used in his pest control job. The police were responding to a situation that potentially could’ve been deadly, were there an actual gun involved. They had no way of knowing that Daniel Shaver was unarmed, and they obviously had to be on edge.
But with that said, the video of his killing is one of the most disturbing, scary, and insane things I’ve ever seen.
If you didn’t watch it, here’s the play by play courtesy of Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire:
Shaver emerges stumbling out of his hotel room. He’s told to get on the ground, and he immediately complies. Shaver attempts to follow every instruction shouted at him, but he has difficulty because the instructions make no sense. Here’s a verbatim transcript of everything Brailsford told Shaver to do, as he pointed his rifle at him and threatened repeatedly to kill him: “lie on the ground,” “put both hands on top of your head and interlace your fingers,” “take your feet and cross your left foot over your right foot,” “keep your feet crossed,” “put both hands flat in front of you” (while they’re on his head and interlaced?), “push yourself to a kneeling position” (have you ever tried to push yourself up while your arms are extended all the way in front of you?), “put both hands in the air,” “crawl towards me” (with his hands in the air?), “stop,” “crawl,” “keep your legs crossed” (while crawling?), “put your hands in the air,” “keep your legs crossed,” “crawl” (so he’s supposed to crawl again with his hands in the air and his legs crossed). In the midst of this flurry of hysterical, arbitrary commands, as Brailsford continually reminds Shaver that he’ll die if he “makes a mistake,” Shaver cries and begs for his life.
Then comes the fatal moment. As Shaver crawls, awkwardly and wobbly, trying to keep up with this deadly game of Simon Says, his pants begin to fall down. He reaches to pull them up and Brailsford immediately sprays him with bullets. Shaver followed his ridiculous instructions for five minutes and still wound up dead.
It really was like a sick and twisted game of Simon Says. Except you’re drunk and when you don’t do what Simon says you get shot five times.
THIS is a police killing to get fired up about. There is zero excuse for what happened on that tape. They easily could’ve cuffed him when he was lying down on the ground with his hands on top of his head, fingers interlaced, and feet crossed. Instead this pussy on a power trip made him crawl while yelling conflicting orders at him, and then shot him as he was clearly trying to keep his mess shorts from falling off.
Just look at this piece of human garbage:
That right there is the face of someone who was bullied throughout high school, and was just waiting for the chance to kill someone. He even claims he’d do it all over again and regrets nothing.
In fairness Shaun King did post about it on his Facebook page, and was outraged as well. But where’s Colin Kaepernick at now? He’s always the first to fire up the outrage patrol when the cops justifiably kill a person of color. Now he’s got a completely unjustified shooting and his “platform” is no longer being used to draw attention to police brutality. Weird.
And where’s CNN at? After Freddie Grey was killed they had round the clock coverage of the circumstances leading up to the death of a lowlife who sold poison to a vulnerable community. Where’s the protests? Where’s the tweets about Daniel Shaver’s life mattering? Unlike Michael Brown and Freddie Grey, this was clear cut. An innocent man was killed because he couldn’t follow the insane and contradictory orders of a wannabe storm trooper.
The lack of outrage and coverage of this from the MSM proves that the media has never really been interested in police accountability. They’re in it for one thing and one thing only – money. And news outlets get more money when ratings are better. And what better way to drive ratings up than to constantly push the racial narrative? Make no doubt about it – if Daniel Shaver were black this would be all over every media outlet and would receive round the clock coverage. There would cities burning right now after this verdict.
But at the end of the day Daniel Shaver was just a white, law-abiding, gainfully employed father of two. So no one gives a shit about him. Especially the mainstream media.
P.S. We almost always back the police in questionable shootings. But this piece of shit’s not a cop, and was clearly 1,000% in the wrong.

So the 1 white guy who was shot by police with little media coverage gets your blood boiling? Do you know the number of black people unfairly gunned down by police without people hearing about it? That the George Floyd shooting got national attention doesn’t mean it happens for every other murder of black people by the police. And to be completely honest one of the main reasons Floyd got attention was because it was happening often and with impunity. People just got tired of seeing it every day. Maybe after a couple of hundred white people get gunned down by people who are supposed to protect them, it would get attention too.
Why does Colin k have to do the kneeling for you? Do you not have legs of your own?
@turtleboy might want to edit your story above, it wasn’t Brailsford that was barking commands, those came from the seargent on duty at the scene.
you idiots, can’t you see what chrissy has done!
there isnt one worthy racist comment in this entire story.
please somebody play a banjo or get some oonshine or something.
pfft..
i heard tell she had a crush on that wiley kap kid 😮
They’re called mesh shorts.
Unbelievable. My heart goes out to his family, especially his girls. I wish the law threw the book at that twat. At least its only a matter of time before he guns down someone who is a danger or did do something to deserve it, maybe then he’ll see some consequences. Unfortunate.
This is ridiculous but not for the original reason I thought. Turtleboy is missing a big part of this story.
The officer speaking is not the officer with the body cam and gun.
That makes a HUGE difference. Both the officer that shot and the victim were placed in a terrible position by the donkey shouting the conflicting instructions.
okay no more pink comfort puppy thanks to malcolm x ftw
will begin also removing my own name from any comments made cos y’all want a vapid pincushion piñata scapegoat and why offer my insipid self up for that slaughter. go back to SSTG she’s a bright one and types properly.
but from now on all you haters will be getting downvotes from me >:(
you’d be surprised how many of you id upvoted constantly *sniff*
“At least there is no pink dog…..baby steps chrissy…..baby steps. I’ll be here for you.”
ty <3
you’ll never see me post in my name again so if you see it you’ll know that it is not me 🙂
and i’ll be on the lookout for a more insipid avatar and name <3
Thanks Chrissy!
I should feel better about winning but now what am I going to do with my life if I can’t troll chrissy anymore? Just kidding…..
we’ll always have didi the land manatee
“Chrissy be ridin turtle dick”
“Annoyed by chrissy”
“Dildo Bangins loves being annoyed by chrissy”
“chrissy can even annoy a mirror”
i just spent all day out to come home to this wonderfulness :p
listen………..
sorry for being a suckup
sorry for being repetitive
sorry for being annoying
sorry for having unpopular abrasive points half the time
sorry for being nonsensical stream of consciousness retarded posts in all lowercase with runon paragraphs like mitch
but as for this horrific avatar, i got it accidentally just by punching in “yo @ gmail . com” for email one day and have had it as a comfort puppy to offer to the butthurts like yourself ever since.
and the retarded avatar with the ears i got by randomly punching in “email @ gmail . com” another day
the only one i chose myself was the winter cap to spar with Not Wearing a Flat Brim when he told me to get down on my knees and worship him as my God randomly one day 😀
so a lot of this shit is random.
just for the record, i would never ever ever ever ever choose a perfectly pink coiffed poodle as my avatar deliberately. i am a married 42 year old grown ass woman who happens to have the name and avatar and mind of a child. hate on, but i only like poodles with the lamb cut. fuck them bougie dog grooomins 😉
if you want me to stay just keep saying my name makes me feel all warm inside
yo @ gmail . com pops up this avatar for you
email @ gmail . com pops up the retard reindeer
better way to properly troll me.
and fire away cos i’m a hypermasochist you’ll only get me excited
cheers, fuckers!
thanks for all the attention, saying my name so much, and giving me a platform!
cop said keep your hands where i can see him and he didn’t. play stupid games win stupid prizes. obey every order from the police or get your brains blown all over the carpet. simple.
Agree. No different than any of the other cases TB mentioned. The penalty for disobeying the police is death.
what a shame. murder little doubt about. no reasonable doubt.
To this day the Muslim officer who gunned down an Australian woman, Justine Diamond after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault, has failed to provide a statement to investigators. If a regular citizen admitted to shooting and killing someone failed to speak with investigators they would be in jail. Why is Officer Noor exempted from providing a statement?
In all fairness, Shaun King is a race baiting piece of shit.
The cop was clearly trying to find a way to shoot this guy, he had him on the ground at a clear disadvantage and continued to make him move around unnecessarily. He could have been reaching for a gun? OK, but if the cop cuffed him when he was on the ground in a submissive position instead of all those bullshit crawl here, hands up, on your knees, lock your fingers orders this would have been over in about 30 seconds. Fuck that cop and anyone who defends him.
Very well put!
I was under the impression that the officer barking orders was not the one who shot.
If it was you or I that shot an unarmed man five times with a M4; we would be in jail for capital murder. No matter what color. But I agree…if it was a black that got executed……the streets would be on fire. I usually support LEO’s…but in this case with that engraved on the rifle….I believe he wanted to kill him.
Wth that is horrible. I, like you, usually take the cops side. Michael Brown absolutely got what he deserved. His own parents had enough with him and he wasn’t even living with them, until he got shot and all of a sudden was the “best kid ever, would do anything for anyone (even best and choke an old man minutes before his death so his home boy could steal cigars), lite up the room when he walked in, blah, blah, blah, etc., etc.” Now we have them and their supporters for the BLM group.
Looking at the pictures of the two above the cop is the one who looks like a thug with all those tattoos, his fuck them gun, and the other guy looks like a nice family man. That video was horrible and he followed everything they said. No way he thought his life was in danger. They should have cuffed him when he was on the ground. And like said, if he was black, the BLM would be all over it.
Nothing to see here…..
The guy shot was not even a Criminal so why should we care?
I hate to side with BLM, but you gotta admit — comes a time.
This 7-deputy fireteam has half an aisle of gun-store aimed at Mr. Dolts’ head [actually, “center mass” they get taught in training] YET they’re “in fear for their lives”? Wut??? George Zimmerman was getting his ass kicked, but it’s like today these cops actually
“fear for their lives” at the mere thought of some triple-vision Tipsy McStagger who
-might’ve- been making what -could’ve- been a {choose: gesture or movement} of [possibly] “going for” … what could’ve been one of them deadly kung-fu throwing stars.
You get all that? Then you’ll get Trump/White House/DOJ or somebody needs to take a second or more in-depth look into former officer Fraidy-Pants.
<333
I remember the good old days before pink dogs, Bruins hats and and weak ass virtue signaling commentary. Now the comment section sucks with this SJW ratchet and her endless boring drivel. Now she wants to change the turtle into Reddit? GTFOH and go to annoy people at huffpo.
ahhh the good ol days of your echo chamber let me guess..
you’re mostly white, 55yrs old, republican, single or with a bloated bitter wife and wasted life so call people like me nigger lovers online?
“and at home at night his fat and psychopathic wife would thrash him within inches of his life..”
sorry if this is untrue but this is how i see your echo chamber here
Ahhh….you caught me Chrissy. I am actually hiding from my wife in the basement of our trailer right now. She is so bloated that I lay awake next to her at night terrified she will roll over and crush my klan hat. My life is so wasted chrissy. All I have left is Turtleboy. But now I can’t even enjoy that because some loser is posting pink dogs everywhere…..the horror. Please take me to a safe space. I need play-doh and hot cocoa stat!!!
alright, i will quit it with the vapid pink comfort puppy if you find a more sexy racist for a name 😀
Praise Allah!! That fucking pink dog can finally get it’s 72 virgins!! Good riddance !
and racists don’t bother me in the least. or to be honest you’d see all the racial shit downvoted a helluva lot more..
it’s the “oh i’m not racist! but….” people we cannot trust.
in my opinion everyone has racial preferences and prejudices and it’s like sexual preferences if you deny them they turn you into a liar.
everyone who swears, “oh, im one of the non-racist” we should keep a wary eye on
and im a white libertarian with a wasted life so my echo chamber analysis was based on my own self too
At least there is no pink dog…..baby steps chrissy…..baby steps. I’ll be here for you.
Hi chrissy! I don’t care how annoying you are to turtle riders. I would love to take you out for a nice BLM rally and then you and Didi can double team me with your shitty commentary and mastery of the English language…..hot!!!
sign me up, but don’t jump on someone for being a sweetie instead of an echo chamber dick.
There is a vast difference between being a sweetie and being just plain retarded and vapid. You are the latter.
dude i was referring to the dude who didn’t take a shit on me like you do, not myself.
and your insults are no shock, used to “chrissy couldn’t find/fight her way out of a paper bag” insults cos i tend to type like a two year old. i am sorry but again, you’re a dick so you’re not worth proper writing skills.
Wow, you really are thick as a brick. Everyone is shitting on you dummy.
You people that are talking shit are more annoying than anything that Chrissy has wrote. Grow up. If you don’t like what she says just keep moving. Dislike the comment. But she is entitled to say what ever she wants. And so are you. Just don’t forget opinions are like assholes, we all got em and most stink.. stop being bullies
this is a super interesting case cos you can, if yer clever, see it from opposing sides and nod yer head. “if you cannot agree with your enemy they control you” ~Chinese proverb
search up photographyisnotacrime . com for death photos and details extra
turtleboy can you make our comment section here like theirs?
less people trolling people under their own name undetectably!
publicly identify everyone and it will be as boring as fb or boston globe comments.
“Be careful what you wish for” chinese proverb
true, true
but you do get more commenters, ones turtleboy deserves, when people who make an effort to add to input and community and positivity aren’t shot down by bitter internet bullies and random funtime trolls masquerading as them. also on that site you get karma type points on your own profile like reddit. though i know turtleboy hates reddit
(and you’d still be just as anonymous, just less able to undetectably troll someone for fun in their own name)
not to worry Chrissy we can all tell the real Chrissy from the impostors, very different and hats aren’t as good, lol
You’ve been boring us with your insipid comments for probably a year now, and you still don’t get it? You make Old Balls seem like a rocket scientist.
You should be banished to lefty sites where all your peers there are just as self-absorbed and clueless as you are.
chrissy is annoying and now wants TB to change the comments section so chrissy can get a pat on the head because chrissy is one of the “good” ones
well yes i like a good pat on the head
chrissy’s comments are not only annoying, chrissy’s syntax, grammar and slang is horrendous. TB was better before chrissy.
Chrissy probably thinks syntax is a feminine hygiene product. I love when morons come onto a successful website and tell the creator to change it to be more like a different site. Chrissy should just go there and not come back. She adds nothing to turtleboy except her shitty avatars. Fuck off
“chrissy’s syntax, grammar and slang is horrendous”
yes i know this, but you kind of deserve this, cos you’re a dick.
Shop Safety Glasses, are a nice touch in his official police portrait.
This man here is no brother to anyone who has ever worn the blue. He should be charged with murder and convicted.
Agreed. I didnt think it was handled well from the get go.
His wife has a GFM. The name is Laney Sweet. She is currently 8mons pregnant as a surrogate for a friend. This is one GFM I agree with. My heart breaks for his wife and his two little girls. God Bless this poor family-
i think it’s at 75k earlier so prob broke her stated 100k ask by now
and she’s suing Mesa for 75m i believe?
If he was married, what was he doing all liquored up in a hotel room with that woman?
a man and a woman he met in the elevator is all
OMG what a toool, looks like the guy from movie space balls.
Nerd + Anger + Insecurity + Power + Gun = A Brailsford
Sum peeps shouldn’t ever have authority, meant to be a grocery store bagger and carriage wrangler for life.
And now two little girls grow up with out a father. Not because he walked away from them like so many dead beats do. Instead he was killed by some little bitch who was on a power trip.
It wasreported, “Daniel Shaver was very wasted, wearing mess shorts, and had apparently been messing around with a few pellet guns that he used in his pest control job.”
HELLO!!! What do you think was going to happen? Do I agree the cop was a “tough guy asshole?” YES!!!! Most cops are. …Was reaching for his waste band good enough reason to shoot? I don’t know. But white or black, the outcome would have been the same, but I get your point. Nobody is protesting the white guy, but maybe there isn’t reason to protest. Shaver was probably not a threat, but he DID have weapons and DID reach for his waste band. I think there are many more cases of blacks being shot without “good enough reason.” Remember Tamir Rice? Terrance Crutcher? Walter Scott?
“Nobody is protesting the white guy”
happened online as of late?
did you say “tough guy” ha ha ha ha, douche bag, dork, geek, loser.. but not tough guy.
The negroes you’re referring to we’re all ultimately responsible for what happened to them:
Rice, who was 12 but looked much older, was carrying a gun (turned out to be fake) and threatening people with it, which led to the 911 call; he was brandishing it when the cops got out of their cruiser to confront him and refused to drop it.
Crutcher, a large, imposing black, was high on PCP, not following instructions, and tried reaching into his SUV, possibly for a weapon…there turned out not to be a weapon but the cops didn’t know that.
Scott, a multiple-time jailbird, had a warrant out for his arrest, had already tried running, and tried taking the cop’s taser before running again. That officer was sadly convicted in a miscarriage of justice that absolutely should be thrown out on appeal.
Rice was a KID who was doing something stupid, but the police pulled up, jumped out and shot him. There was NO TIME to have ordered him to drop it. Scott was running away from the cop. Wrong? Yes, but you don’t SHOOT HIM IN THE BACK! He didn’t get the taser. I’m not saying cops are wrong in all cases, but the fact that you called those people negros is not only wrong on so many levels, but it also shows that you will never acknowledge the shootings that are wrong because you are either a racist or 150 years old. Sad really.
That cop wanted to kill someone. He made it a point to say “one more mistake” you could die! That’s sick. The man apologized to the woman because of the treatment the police were giving her, then he begins to cry, because he knows this cop is looking for a reason to kill him. There was no reason that this had to happen. They could have cuffed him when he was on the ground with his legs crossed and had his hands on his head. It wasn’t like this cop was alone waiting for back up. He had other officers there to assist him. This is just sick
The cop that was talking was not the one who did the shooting
Interesting that you leave out the fact that the woman with Shaver managed to follow the police instructions just fine. The fact is that Shaver reached back in the waistband of his shorts and absolutely could have been going for a weapon. The officer had only a split second to make a decision and he decided to protect his and his fellow officers’ lives. Shaver made a poor decision and paid for it with his life just like all the colored men you cite in your article did. This was absolutely a good shooting. Cops put their lives on the line for us every day and deserve whatever benefit of the doubt we can give them. Thank God we now have a President and Attorney General who understand that and want to give our cops the latitude they need to truly clean up the streets instead of the previous office holders who wanted to tear law enforcement down because of their hatred for this country and all it stands for.
the whole thing was mad overkill
he didn’t deserve murder verdict so much as manslaughter and he got neither so the internet is on fire
Ever been to Arizona,blue?
You get pulled over on a traffic stop and 6 cops show up.
Bunch of Wyatt Earpp wannabes in AZ.
Surprises me that this doesn’t happen every week there.
they were laid back sweeties to me, but that’s only my experience not Arizona on the whole where i lived a decade
I would love to know what the cops are saying about this shooting behind closed doors and if they find it as appalling as the rest of us. We all know they have a sometimes impossible job but are they all shaking their heads like the rest of us at just how bad this guy made members of their profession look?
agreed, to me this is the most interesting aspect of this case, wondering what all flashed through his brothers minds…
Mainstream media covered this two days ago….
Shhhh…..don’t tell the wingnuts that, you will screw up their narrative.
You know, the “CNN and mainstream media are bad, but FOX and Breitbart are good” way of thinking. It permeates through all the articles here.
don’t equate the bloggers with their rabid rightwing commenters on here
turtleboy doesn’t like any of the news outlets you’ve mentioned and has said so himself in many places, here and on Twitter etc
chrissy is now an expert on turtleboy. TB comments were better before Bruins hats and pink dogs.
Rabid right wing commenters? Can you suck turtleboy’s dick any harder Chrissy?
“Can you suck turtleboy’s dick any harder Chrissy?”
by saying he’s amassed rabid rightwing commenters?
so many times I’ve pointed out stuff I disagreed with turtleboy on
but they’ve been vastly outnumbered by incidents of sucking up, granted 🙂 my bad.
“chrissy is now an expert on turtleboy”
sort of am cos i was moving house so in slow time read all the past articles from before i arrived so quit calling me a noob
It’s easy to see the people who run this site are far-right wingnuts; they listen to [and plug] that loser Gerry Callahan and quote, above, Matt Walsh, that homophobic scumbag who works at – LOL – The Daily Wire!! Notice how the far-rightie who wrote this tripe makes no mention of; James Woods, Dana Loesch, Breitbart, FOX ‘news’, perpetually-angry-at-his-fellow-blacks “Sheriff” David Clarke and all the other right-wing scum who love to support cops in ALL situations, even when they are clearly at fault. Like with this hump. And who also have yet to condemn this short-man-complex piece of shit. But, oh, Kap didn’t say anything yet? How evil! Go back to watching Judge Jeannie and Hannity and leave the serious discussions to the adults.
“And who also have yet to condemn this short-man-complex piece of shit.”
apparently everyone on the planet condemns this cop so that would be a shock
“Kap didn’t say anything yet?”
Kap has a passion and a platform, and i think it’s more about racist cops than cops themselves, he’s a speaker for his people and he does his job better than i ever could
Kap is on his way to becoming a professional sjw. How honorable. He hates all cops, remember they’re all slave patrol? How about his socks with pigs on them? His people who he gave no second thought to until he hooked up with a chick who convinced him it was awesome to be a douchebag. He’s just a new age Al Sharpton and thats no compliment at all.
I also like to touch little boys
This is a far-right turtleboy writer pretending to be me.
Don’t fall for it.
I am sorry for mentioning that in public but do I like little boys
it’s a commenter, not writer, they’re too busy writing and having a weekend
Saul’s not too bright.
I know, I know – he’s a lib. Still no excuse, even for a lemming.
It’s easy to see you’re a looney leftist who begs for communism to reign here in the US just based on your shitty ass name. That’s adorable you think msnbc and the like have serious discussions. Like when trump supposedly poisoned all the koi in Japan right?! Or the headline about him calling all mexicans rapists? Sooo true right? . Antifux is still accepting applications but you might already have a position within. I see you’re pulling from the Sheriff Clarke is an uncle tom narrative that msnbc just ran? He’s a successful law enforcement officer who hates stupidity not any one specific race, good try though. Keep drinking the left’s piss water sweetie. You’re contributing to global warming by stealing oxygen, feel free to stop at any time.
Put this white ex-cop in general population of a shall we say, darker section of the institution.
I believe it’s mesh shorts…
he missed his calling as an abusive nonsensical drill sergeant
story is in at least some mainstream media spots i’ve seen
All that matters are black lives. SMH
This makes me sick, just downright sick. He did everything the asshole said, why the hell didn’t they cuff him while he was on the ground?!? Are they that scared as officers that they can’t tell he was clearly intoxicated?? I’m really surprised the body cam footage was released, really surprised. This was a 100% unjustified killing, that cop is a killer and should never be behind any firearm ever again. His gun said “you’re fucked” on the side of it too, he was looking to kill someone, he’s a psychotic fucking dick licking bitch! I hope they send his ass to jail for life for this, he did this, he made 2 little girls fatherless, what a piece of shit. Karma will get this asshole, this was so damn wrong.
Unfortunately the body cam footage was not allowed at the trial for some crazy reason. Douche is a murdering shitbag, hope he dies a slow, painful death.
What? That is the whole case. Guaranteed if it was the other way around, criminal coming at cop, it would be the first thing shown.
hmm i thought it was allowed :/
Waiting for the outrage & protests to start for the Haitian man that was rightfully shot by police in Ft. Lauderdale the other day.
