I appreciate that they are made public for analysis, but there is no fucking way I'm watching those bastards stand outside, knowing they just stood there while children were being murdered.

Watch it. Be angry. Get your blood boiling. The parents and families deserve our anger at these fuck ups in uniform. Our anger will get things moving. These families need the outcry of every one of us to call these officers out and ask for their heads. Hold them accountable, and never let something like this happen again.
I think I made it quite clear that I am already angry at them and holding them accountable. All watching the video will do will make me feel awful. What does that accomplish?
I'm with you. I watched the video of the man who was trying to comply with orders from the police and the officer warned him if he did anything other than what he was being ordered, he would be shot. Then, he was given confusing orders, and was shot when he did the wrong thing. He was on his knees with his hands in plain view when the threat came. There were multiple officers with weapons drawn. The man was sobbing and begging before he was shot. I can't unsee it. I think it's important that people see it so others can be held accountable, but not EVERYONE has to see it.
Agree 100%. And, on top of the reason you gave for it to be important for some people to see, it's also important to keep as a historical record. But I personally do not need to see or hear people dying or people not reacting despite knowing other people are dying to be upset about the situation or to want to hold those responsible to account.
I've never seen George Floyd's murder. That did not stop me from protesting the police murdering him because... you know... they murdered him.
Bodycam video: https://youtu.be/VBUUx0jUKxc
In August 2018, Brailsford was reinstated by the Mesa Police Department, staying for a further 42 days in what the department described as a "budget position". The department agreed to reimburse Brailsford for medical expenses related to his post-traumatic stress disorder -- the result of his shooting of Shaver and the resultant criminal trial. The reinstatement allowed Brailsford to apply for "accidental disability" experienced during the course of work. As a result, Brailsford was unanimously approved to be retired on medical grounds. Brailsford was also given a pension of $2,500 per month. The fact that Brailsford was ultimately medically retired instead of remaining fired was only revealed to the public in July 2019.
He just fucking executed him in the hallway and walked over his body, and he gets rewarded?
Yes, Daniel Shaver. It was horrible to watch. I hadn't heard about the medical retirement or pension. I generally don't advocate for violence, but if he came to a violent end, I would not shed any tears.
Thank goodness for the AP.
Video? Sure it's not just a picture?
because they were just standing there?
Yep
Was clicking on the article to check really too much of an effort to you?
No, but either my joke wasn't appreciated or people didn't realize it was one.
Probably wording could be better like “why would they make a whole video of a still image…”
Yea, that definitely works better.
It certainly went over my head
The joke was just slightly subtle I appreciated it.
Jimmy Kimmel was there?!
And he did nothing
Daniel Shaver's execution was nauseating to watch.
