I found the full video Love Child.
This case didn't get much attention before the trial because the judge ruled that the video could not be released to the public until after the verdict was rendered (Shaver's widow and attorney wanted it released right away).
Today I learned some new facts about the case.
1. Six officers showed up at the hotel to investigate the report of someone holding a gun near the hotel window. Six...........and they couldn't have cuffed him when he was down on the ground, on his stomach, arms forward, begging and scared shitless? Unbelievable.
2. The male hotel guest who'd been drinking with Shaver and the female guest had already returned to his own room when the cops showed up.
3. It isn't Officer Brailsford issuing the threatening and confusing commands to Shaver most of the time. It's his Sgt, Langley. He's since retired (thankfully).
