Shaver was inebriated and was actually being asked to preform a very difficult task for most people:
Turn away from me, put your hands in the air, get on you knees with your hands in the air, once on the ground put your hands on the back of your head, interlock your fingers on the back of your head, put your ankles over one another, then walk on your knees backwards to the sound of my voice.
That's what he was supposed to do (which is ridiculous). He also got contradictory directions from other people who were shouting at the same time.
The man who shot Shaver wasn't actually the one who was supposed to be giving Shaver orders.
Shaver was basically so confused by the plethora of instructions he thought the best bet would be to (facing the officers) crawl slowly on his hands and knees towards them.
The officer who shot Shaver apparently interpreted that as an aggressive act.
