From the very beginning, Sgt. Langley escalated tensions beyond a reasonable level. His commands were confusing and he created a stressful environment that compounded the difficulty of following said commands. MISTAKE #2. He can repeatedly be heard belittling Shaver's intelligence, telling him to "Shut the fuck up!" and telling him that he was "Going to fucking kill [him]!" When Shaver was told to cross his legs, he crossed his right leg over his left leg, prompting another outburst from Sgt. Langley, "Left leg over your RIGHT leg!" It was this stress that lead Shaver to fail Sgt. Langley's game of life-and-death hokey-pokey, costing him his life.
While Sgt. Langley may not be responsible for the tone of his voice, he can certainly be said to be responsible for his confusing commands. Lana Sweet complied with Sgt. Langley's commands but Shaver, who was at this point sobbing (after being told he was going to die multiple times), was not out of the woods yet. First he was ordered to cross his fingers behind his head, then he was ordered to put his hands in the air, then he was ordered to crawl (while kneeling). He had not seen how his girlfriend "crawled" and thus did not know he was supposed to inch forward on his knees instead of on his hands and knees. Sgt. Shaver let him slide for this, until he went to pull his pants up, which is when Philip Brailsford opened fire on Shaver, shooting him 5 times center-mass with his AR-15.
Had Sgt. Langley not breached procedure by making Shaver play SAW-Twister, he might still be alive. And that's the most egregious mistake of all. Cuffing him when he had his hands behind his head would have ended the situation almost immediately, provided Brailsford and others covered room #502. As for room #502, after the officers callously murdered Shaver, they attempted to breach room #501. Mistake #4. The funniest mistake, if it wasn't so poetically tragic.
Yes this whole thing was unnecessary bull shit. It makes me so angry watching it.
Cooper Reed
He looks like a cunt
Julian Cook
Nothing will happen.
They sent the case to DOJ last year but it's not going to do any good. Brailsford is now collecting retirement money and Sgt. Lanely is hiding out in the Philippines.
does anyone have the body cam footage? I'm ready to get angery

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Don’t get so fucking drunk you start pointing (air) rifles our motel windows and you won’t have police show up ready to bullet boogaloo your drunk ass.
Jonathan Baker
out* motel windows

Adam White
holy shit its way worse than i remember. what an absolute pussy; here to protect and serve i guess.
They told the scumbag's wife the exact same instructions right before, she followed all of the instructions, and the fucker watched her do it correctly. Completely this drunk retard's fault when he was told MULTIPLE TIMES to do the same thing or he would be shot. They even specifically stated that if he moved his hand toward the small of his back he would be shot. Guess what the brainlet did? Fucking Darwinism in action.
David Martin
Didn’t they warn him once or twice before not to move his hands towards his waist again?
Ayden James
didnt realize that being drunk was punishable by death, thanks ill look out next time.
Thomas Cooper
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

quit making excuses for the cop, fag. that game of simon says was entirely avoidable.
Lincoln Thomas
This faggot ass cop should get the death penalty
John Wood
Many of those controversial cases of cops shooting unarmed black people are cops following proper protocol. I would say 80% of those cases in the media are justified shootings , 15% are morally grey, and 5% actual murder.
This case was manslaughter at the very least - which is very generously assuming this was accidental on his part (unlikely). The officer completely disregarded anything resembling proper police protocol. He basically made shit up, improvising his own power trip. His actions were egregiously irresponsible and extremely dangerous. He repeatedly escalated the situation and decided that police protocols didn’t apply to him. He belongs in prison.
Lincoln Turner
Brailsford was the one behind the gun barking orders. Langley was his boss, he's retired now
Aaron Scott
Fucking pig cunt. Blue lives don't matter.
Gavin Clark
Here’s hoping you get stupid drunk and end up ventilated too - cheers!
Gavin Morris
Quit making excuses for the drunk dickhead who decided to wave an air rifle out the motel window prompting the whole ordeal in the first place. Had he not been a drunk bitch, he’d still be alive.
Benjamin Adams
Langley was the one barking orders, not the faggot in the pic that shot him
Elijah Ortiz
yeah this shit was fucking stupid. this definitely could’ve been handled without violence
Ryder Scott
Nope, it was needed. One less drunk fuck in the world to go kill people on the road.
Benjamin Perez
Wait really? The two of them were there? I always thought it was just the manlet
Jaxon Garcia
He brought the rifle without being asked. Did no research at all on the inhabitants in the room even though the information was easily available.
>open hotel windows >a hotel window that opens You’re so fucking stupid it saddens me that it wasn’t you in the hotel instead of him. Now your defective retard genes are still available to the general population.
Sigh. It heavies my heart.
Ian Perez
yeah, can't tell from the video but the boss was the cunt barking orders, manlet did the shooting. I think the boss left the country
James Jenkins
He moved to the Philippines. Nothing suspicious or odd about that...
Elijah Scott
The amount of police bootlickers here on Yea Forums who wantonly worship anyone in a uniform is stunning. The founding fathers would be ashamed of your compliance with the pseudo-police state we are slowly but surely transforming ourselves into.
Jayden Powell
maybe karma will catch up to him
Brody Howard
They're not bootlickers, they're adjusted adults. Most all people getting shot by cops are dirtbags who don't follow directions.
You have to be mentally ill to defend this cocksucker and the guy he killed was white.
Connor Myers
I don't think he did shit. That's funny you're just as cucked as the boy that pulled the trigger. He pulled it like a faggot too, like he was waiting to shoot a load from his balls but pissed on the lady instead.
Jeremiah Nelson
This is the gun used to kill him.
Josiah Ward
I hope that the first time you venture out of mommys basement into the real world a police officer shoots you and paralyzes you permanently so you can sit and think about how stupid you are for the rest of your life.
Robert Roberts
You can't make this shit up. It's literally spoon fed to you how clear it is what happened
This is how you know who's mentally ill. Ever wonder about a person bring up this topic of conversation.
Austin Peterson
He couldn't see shit about how she did it, because in his case the officers were screaming for him to face the ground and to not look at them. When it was his time, the dude was already terrified, and telling him to crawl was counterintuitive, I bet you would've died too if you were on his situation.
Levi Hernandez
Ok retard
Elijah Russell
Drunk with a gun will get you killed, best remember that.
Jordan Harris
Well just hunt his ass down then. Especially if your a depressed suicidal. You'll feel better once it's done.
Daniel Nelson
A white guy takes out his rage over having a small penis by joining the police and killing innocent people. Imagine my shock. At this point we should just ban white people altogether.
Andrew Baker
Oh my god, you are totally right! We should find an island somewhere, maybe in the Carribbean, and just send all the white men there! And, heck, the white women too! It's sure be fun to laugh at them, living somewhere so warm, with their inferior melanin content! Am I right fellow niggers?
Jace Lewis
Funny? No Interesting? No Adds anything to the debate? No Good bait? No
