According to his daughter via Facebook...
"Love you always Dad....❤

For those of you who may be unaware, Randy Weaver was involved in a stand-off with federal agents in 1992. Several members of his family were killed, as was their family dog...all because he didn't appear in court. RIP.
Two words, Daniel Shaver. There has never been a more brutal cop execution on tape in the history of the US.
Not even hyperbole either. That dude was literally executed while the cops made him place "Simon Says"
Multiple shots in the back of the head and neck, yeah.
I disagree. While he didn't deserve what he got, but the shooting was justified. He appeared to be reaching. And The first time the cop even gave him a pass when he could have shot!
I mean, he was basically given multiple, conflicting orders, but okay.
Yeah, you can be critical of that, but not of the shooting itself.
"sure they told him impossible commands but it was justified when they tried to murder him"
antonio sure has some pure shitlib takes, i wonder what he said about BLM
There are many cases where a seemingly innocuous guy just pulls out a gun and starts shooting the cops.
Can you cite any cases where the cops have their guns trained on a guy, and yet the guy is fast enough to produce a weapon and get the first shot off?
I get what you’re saying about the general case: cops are holstered and a dude draws and fires before the cop can draw and fire. But once you’ve got a gun trained on them, I don’t see how you’d get the first shot off.
So what I’m saying is that the cops were safe and could have reacted more slowly
I agree, but from the footage it didn't appear the cop made any attempt to actually resolve the situation quickly and efficiently. He dragged it out and created the situation where Daniel "appeared to be reaching" He got off on a technicality that only made sense if you closed one eye, turned your head sideways and ignored everything up untill that point.
People get very hung up on the black/white "well he shouldn't have done X, thereby the cop is completely innocent of all wrongdoing."
As if its all some zero sum game.
Lots of clueless people just have no idea. He got close to them, then executed a classic gun grab.
Shots were appropriate, even though his fellow retards want to excuse his actions.
