Arizona jurors see video of officer killing unarmed man

Jurors at the murder trial of a former Arizona police officer were shown on Thursday body camera footage of the cop killing an unarmed man who sobbed and begged not to be shot.

It marked the first time since the January 2016 shooting of 26-year-old Daniel Shaver in Mesa that the full, unedited video has been shown in court.

The 18-minute recording aired in the murder case against Philip Brailsford shows Shaver, a married father-of-two from Granbury, Texas, laying face-down in a hallway outside his La Quinta hotel room as police responded to a call that someone was pointing a gun out of a window.

A police supervisor can be heard shouting commands at Shaver, who disobeys some of the orders but doesn't voice any threats toward officers.

Appropriately charged with murder.
