The police are trained to take safely into custody people who are in no condition to follow orders, e.g. because they're drunk, on drugs, experiencing a medical condition, etc etc.
"In the official police report of the incident, Brailsford defended his actions, saying that Shaver crawling towards the officers was Shaver "trying to gain a position of advantage in order to gain a better firing position on us". Shaver had indeed crawled towards the officers after one of them instructed him to."
"Four months after the shooting, Charles Langley, the officer who gave orders to Shaver, retired from the department. By December 2017, Langley had emigrated to the Philippines."
Oh wow. The cop was a real piece of shit then. The cop literally told him to crawl towards them and then shot him for crawling towards them and added a bullshit motive for why the guy crawled.
I haven't seen the full video so don't know what happens once the shooting starts, I assumed he tried fixing his pants again which I would expect the trigger hungry cop to take as a free chance to shoot him.

Dirty cops, protected and rewarded. Can imagine how the dead guy's family feels. I see that the is a petition for a retrial.
