        Such a horrible and unfair way to go, essentially someone telling you to use your legs and arms in impossible ways where even a professional gymnast could not do. If it was anyone in that same spot all of us would of been shot dead too. Por excuse to kill someone & he is free.

        It was like a “Simon Says” game to that officer, it was horrifying to watch

        My heart breaks from all of this and I'm constantly left confused. A black family member who was a career cop and veteran always takes the side of law enforcement. This story is no different. We're Arizonans.

        Shaun we veterans have rules to which we engage and laws to which we abide. That out of control coward with a badge appears to have had neither. He didn’t look so tough in his civilian attire.

        And Sergeant Sergeant Charles Langley, the one barking out those horrendous orders, goes scot-free as well.

        Yeah ROE don’t call for that action especially since the situation was controlled once they were both on the floor with hands in sight🤦🏾‍♂️

        Sad thing is our current leaders are more likely to loosen rules of engagement for military than to expect greater responsibility from police.

        The veterans should have spoken up on the black killings but I digress

        I hear you. You're correct, not many do. I'm staff with @VetsAboutFace and we've long recognized and spoken out that police forces in our neighborhoods increasingly resemble military units. Its crucial for veterans to speak out against the militarization of the police.

        I was a cop in the military (Over 20 years). Those police officers on scene should have handcuffed Mr. Shaver once he was on the floor. The cops escalated the entire situation.
