I disagree. The titanic was tragic because it was a series of mistakes that led to loss of life, but there was no malice. This was not a mistake, those officers clearly operated with malice. It was clear from the first :30 of that video they had every intention of killing him.


I will never understand how, but Brailsford was acquitted. It is my understanding the judge allowed several pieces of evidence to be suppressed (like the fact he had engraved the rifle he used with the phrase “you’re ****ed”). But instead of spending the rest of his life behind bars, The city of Mesa will pay Brailsford for the rest of his life for killing Shaver. After the trial, Brailsford was rehired by the Mesa police department where he subsequently claimed PTSD and was allowed to retire and collect his pension.

It only took 4 months after the trial for Mesa to start paying Brailsford, it took 5 years (after the trail, 7 years after his death) for Shaver’s wife and kids to see any money.
