Shaver was unarmed when he was shot to death. He had reached to pull up his shorts after Brailsford ordered him to crawl towards the officers, with his legs crossed behind his back and his arms forward.
Brailsford claims he was terrified for himself and the fellow officers on the scene and believed Shaver was reaching for a weapon.
A detective testified that it looked liked that, but also much like Shaver was reaching to pull up his shorts. The detective also noted that he didn't see any reason why the cops hadn't just handcuffed Shaver when he was flat on the ground with his hands stretched out.

The jury just found Brailsford 'not guilty'. Bullshit or appropriate?
