    That guy must have some OJ Simpson level lawyers because we were all shocked he didn't go to prison, then shocked again that he was able to overturn his firing.
    He got special treatment from the start.

    From the comments from retired officer Richardson, it doesn't sound like the city of Mesa put up much of a struggle.

    This is local to me. About a year after all this I was in a gunfight and got to talk with my lawyer who specializes in government/police policy type law. I asked him specifically about it and he explained it to me as he followed the whole thing very closely. Even the article you posted says he reached a settlement with the city of Mesa. It also says that the decision came from the city, not the police department.

    Mesa police didn't seem to have a problem with the incident. Brailsford got fired due to the ejection port cover and was never arrested. His superior issuing the impossible to follow commands that set the situation up came out unscathed as did the other officers there.

    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    This is why the right will lose. When a french-canadian gets it but theres still a bunch of M4C tards who still think Jan 6th was an insurrection that justifies her death let alone make a big stink about a VETERAN and a DAMN HERO who was EXECUTED in the Capitol building.

    The right is incapable of fixing the current situation. The only thing that will save America is its collapse.

    Given the incidents in which LEO mistook their service pistol for the Taser, why don't manufacturers make the Taser in a different configuration? Why not make it in the shape of a baton or other less than lethal device?

    Someone needs to make this their signature.

    The 2 "sides" really aren't that different.

    Mesa homicide detectives testified against Brailsford. The Sgt resigned shortly after and moved to the Philippines. Ive heard it was to avoid lawsuits. I dont see how the other officers who were staged to detain Shaver for investigation would be liable for someone else shooting him.
